Numerology for September 2023: Mastery Over Mystery

Number 9 is the Fire Element, with a cross-over to the Ether Element, as it is the Subtle Body. There will be a lot of emotional reactivity this month, with the effect of some people literally looking for a fight. As much as we already have seen the extreme polarization of people, it will now intensify at times. The 5th, 9th, 14th, and 23rd are days to avoid the demonstration march, order in Thai food, and dial-up Netflix. Our good friends the Tibetans have a saying, “The best armor, is to stay out of range.”

Now that we know not to share our better-veiled secrets with others, and when to stay home and watch the flowers grow, let’s take a look at how to really put a shine on our Subtle Body energy. You can’t go wrong with the Adi Shakti mantra, and by chanting it you are clarifying and healing your own Subtle Body. This “charging up” of your higher powers will lend a magic and fluidity to your movement through the world. You’ll be catching all the green lights, and avoiding the darkness that is looking for a fight. By the way, this can be internal as well as external.

Number 9 has a precision to it, and in the positive polarity, it wants to clear the field of excess and debris. This month is an excellent time to do an Autumn cleanse, clearing physically as well as emotionally. There are many types of cleanses out there, and with a little online research you will find the one that’s just right for you. And remember, “Just enough is good enough.” You don’t need to choose something harsh or fanatical. Be kind and gentle to yourself. Go for the long game of, “I heal myself through kind and loving choices.” Yes, that’s the way!

Patience with ourselves, and others, is the way to successfully transit this month. It can be so easy these days to blow a fuse and lash out at someone, but what will be the amount of clean-up work you’ll have to do to put it all back together again? Tell yourself, “Okay, I’m really ticked off about this, but I’m going to reel it in for now. I’ll wait till I’m in my power, centered and balanced, before I take action.”

Looking further into personal healing, the Bach Flower essence of Willow will help you to “forgive and forget,” while releasing the injustices of the past. The essence of Rock Rose is said to give courage, and release the feelings of anguish and having a limit of endurance. These essences work on a subtle energetic level and can help to make a shift in your life. I always feel that we should use all the good stuff available to us on planet Earth.

What forecast is complete without a movie recommendation, and this month’s joyous choice is the 1991 film “The Commitments.” A lively and engaging story of a group of rag-tag misfits who run into Jimmy, a visionary young man who wants to start a Soul-Motown-style music group in Dublin, Ireland, Yeah, right! Well, order in your pizza and turn off your cell phone, because you won’t be able to turn your head away once this movie starts rolling. It is one of my all-time favorites, and that’s saying a lot.

Life has its dramas, highs and lows, successes and failures. The key is, what did you learn from it? Self-mastery is the domain of the number 9, and this is achieved over time and through life experience. Now is the time to let go of the past, forgive yourself and others, and gain a newfound freedom in your life.

Learn from your own life and the example of others. That is the gift of film, books, the History Channel, and Lifetime documentaries; you get to see where others got it wrong or right and make the adjustment in your own life.

May you be granted the gentle guidance of your own subtle awareness, and may you walk the protected path that leads you to your heart’s fulfillment. We have passed the test, and are given our rest, feeling loved and blessed.
