Susceptibility to Temptation

The dark jewel Temptation has the number 25 which means in effect minus seven or unwillingness to take any guidance. This is a seven year. If the planet offers us guidance in terms of ecological disaster we could listen, pay attention and try to find a solution. Or we could be tempted to do bugger all and carry on with our excessive luxury and consumption.

As a boomer I can say with a fair degree of likelihood that I will be dead by 2050. No male in my family has made it past 80 and I used to smoke like a chimney. I won’t be here to see the failed climate targets but I will experience the deterioration before I pop my clogs.

I believe the word “hack” is common parlance for finding a shortcut to at least temporarily “solve” a problem. They are good clickbait. Unfortunately, there is no hack, no shortcut for liberation and reduction in attachment.

In terms of life difficulties I am very sceptical about short cuts, am not interested in having advantage over others nor do I seek the lazy man’s way out. Very often the Elastoplast or sticking plaster “solution” whilst apparently expedient causes larger problems in the long term. Quick fix is an oxymoron.

There are some people who like, if possible, to find a low effort path. As a younger person I helped a number of people write their Ph.D. theses more than was perhaps appropriate. I was not in fact doing them a favour. They saw it as a quick fix and it was easier for me to help than to go thorough endless rewrites with them. Once you have written one thesis it is pretty easy to do others, especially in physical sciences.

There are others who instead of taking responsibility for their actions succumb to many excuses, the blame game and finger pointing. They imagine the world is against them and have a truly massive victim chip on their shoulders. “It is not fair mummy…”

Whilst is might seem expedient to succumb to the temptation of blaming others it rarely solves the character deficit such blame is meant to conceal.

Many people are very tempted by money, promised kudos and being all Kool and the Gang. If you look carefully, just like in cartoons, you can actually see $ signs rolling in their eyes in some cases.

The mutual backscratching, nod, nod, wink, wink, culture is seen as good business but it can mean yielding to temptation and evil.

“Go on old chap. You know that we are the best people to fulfil the PPE contract. After all we went to the same school as each other. I’ll return the favour in due course.”

The moral compass shatters when wanting to do a “favour” for a pal.

Temptation starts as the thin end of the wedge and in time it becomes normal practice. People can forget and grow ever more accustomed to doing dodgy stuff. People can become inured and tolerant of borderline illegal behaviours. They can find a whole host of reasons and justifications as to why it is kosher. The culture can become “infected” much quicker than many imagine. Academic bullying has been in the press. Is one supposed to take on the chin like a good little pleb? Cultural norms can be very unethical, tax evasion is OK provided that when you get caught you pay your fine, apparently.

Sleaze can become the “acceptable” norm.

I’ll make a postulate.

Anyone who is interested in power and power over is susceptible to temptation.

The type of mentality which seeks shortcuts and cuts corners can be easily tempted and swayed.

Those who are willing to put in a full and impeccable shift are less susceptible to temptation.

9 – Completion – Yesod – World of the Sorcerers

In trying to work up my dream from this morning I looked up London W4 and as far as I can tell I have nothing to do with W4. The nearest I get is when I used to play rugby for the social team called the Occasionals or Ockies at London Welsh across the river in Richmond.

So, I started looking at the numerology 999 = 9+9+9 = 27, 2+7 = 9

9 is the tarot card L’hermite which is in some ways me.


In Kabballah 9 refers to the world of Yesod or Jesod. Which is the stage before manifestation. In the Toltec Tradition it is known as the World of the Sorcerers. Where astral plane magic might be undertaken. One can only enter and exit at will if one has collected and thereby attained all the 22 light jewels.

The reason it is called the World of the Sorcerers is because it is littered with the remains of would be Sorcerers. It is a “place” that can drive you bat shit crazy.

Over the past few days, I have been getting dream snippets with girl’s names, Helen, Ellen and now Gillian. {Gillian is not too far from Helen if you are dreaming.}

The first two fit with the Priam Precept {Helen of Troy}.

Gillian is a nurse {need for healing} and is therefore likely to be of a Southerly persuasion.

In numerology W is a five so W4 becomes 5+4 = 9

The jewel of the nagal woman is 9 and she acts as pathfinder lighting the way as per l’hermite. She is in the South like me.


The jewel for 9 is completion which is a bit like the two nines in the yin yang symbol used for Tai Chi.

W is west and 5 is number of the Westerly Stalker…

There are two “nines” in completion one black, one white, just as the dark is nearing completion the light begins.

—————————–

The gut feel I get is that something old, very old, which had one intention { that backfired} has in the fullness of time manifested something entirely different {Priam Precept}. Karma of old, fate, and pertaining to me is bearing fruit and coming towards some kind of completion. Or rather there is a possibility of completion because completion is not so easy. If this does not get sorted it will continue to come back and bite one in the bum. It is urgent {999} that this completion is achieved so that healing {ambulance / paramedic} can take place.

It is not my karma…it “belongs” to others…

2023 Numerology and Tarot

In these difficult times, here is my first pass at 2023.


The first sensation I get is one of angularity, of points and spikes.  A jarring even.

23 is the dark jewel of destructive behaviour. 3 is the jewel of mixed abundance, need for creativity and joy. 2 + 3 = 5 is the jewel for the need for freedom and change. All in all, this is not a round smooth setting. The triangle and the pentagram. If the pentagram is inverted, we have 23 or minus 5, oppression, no freedom, no change.

Things will get worse and we need to find some joy in the mixed abundance, good and bad, 3.

This is probably a safe bet.

2 is the jewel for humility and understanding {need for}. One needs to listen to and follow what is written in the book of destiny. Where there is no humility fate cannot unfold smoothly.

I often think of 2 as the book of karma. Karma must unfold. The effects of the causes will manifest and bear their karmic fruit, whether we like it or not. It is unwise to try to resist karma. Otherwise, more karma is caused.

For some reason I don’t feel le mat or zero active here. It, he, is more of a place holder.


Overall, 2023 is a seven year. Here the two horses on the chariot are pulling in opposite directions. There is a need for guidance as to which course to take otherwise there will be a destructive parting of ways.

Seven is also the number of the dreamer and the dreamed. The dreamed {personality} needs to take guidance from the dreamer, the Soul. A willing and humble acceptance of said guidance will allow a moving forward. Failure to listen to guidance means getting stuck, entrenched even.

In this sense guidance could mean listening to the planet also. We are currently having a “once in a lifetime” event in the USA. Pakistan has been submerged. There may be an increasing frequency of these so-called once in a lifetime events. The planet is talking to us!!

The feeling I get from Le Chariot for 2023 is not one of accepting guidance, though. I think that the crown, self-importance, will play out and there will be more cleavage and division in the world.

2022 did not manifest as a plus 6. The old remains. No choice between the old and the new was made.

Similarly, I fear that 2023 will not manifest as a plus 7. There will not be forward movement. This suggests that the stalemate in eastern Europe remains or even escalates. If the 23 comes fully into play, it could be very bad news indeed.


23 could manifest as a 5, freedom and change. I don’t see the seed, the germ of that at the moment. It is more like a pope of old keeping people stuck to the status quo.

First pass…

Rishi Sunak – Numerology

The first thing to say is that the numerology has a nice sense of symmetry to it. In particular the personality aspects of Rishi. There are a lot of nines there which mean he has experience of implementing “completion, the universal teacher, the big brother {in a good sense}, selflessness, broad-minded- ness and benevolence”.

It also speaks of the “sound” of Rishi as it is used to refer to the sages of old.

I will outline the positives only.

Rishi’s principal challenge is to express the 4. {Stability strength, dependability, sobriety, judiciousness, the executive, the natural ruler}. So, his new job allows him to face this challenge head-on when there are jitters and discord.

His third pinnacle is 2 from the power number 11.  {the unfoldment of destiny, the natural arbitrator, humility, understanding gentleness and strength of conviction} from {love of the limelight, the natural performer, the natural speaker, the visionary, intuitive and inspirational} He is a couple of years into this pinnacle. It should mature over the next few years.

His soul urge is 4 which is very nicely in line with his principal challenge this lifetime.

His personality number is 8 {Harmony, balance the conservative, the politician, the banker, the editor}

In the planes of expression he has no 4s. Therefore, to experience a 4 is his principal challenge and what his soul chose this life to do, to explore its urge.

His destiny number is 3. The negative aspects of which are chaos, lacking in completion, scattering of talents, the show off. {Does this sound like someone?} The positive aspects are mixed abundance, creativity, the collector, versatility, friendliness.

He has picked up a chalice with some poison in it at a difficult time to have the opportunity to work on the 4. {Mixed abundance}

Rishi the name and personal expression is the nine both soul and personality, this is a truly neat vehicle for him to work in.

The choice of parents {Sunak} on the Soul side is 4, which is in line with his soul urge.

The choice of parents on the personality side is an 8 which is in line with his overall personality.

{Good choice of vehicle Mr Sunak…}

His power number is 11 which is a power number {love of the limelight, the natural performer, the natural speaker, the visionary, intuitive and inspirational}. If he needs to, he can pull this out of the magical top hat.

In the planes of expression there are a few 1s. He “knows” from previous lives how to pioneer, go-get, the strategist, natural leader, fluid and tenacious.

All in all, from the numerology it looks like a good fit to his chosen life and where he finds himself now. He has bitten off a big challenge, but he appears to have the wherewithal to handle it.
