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.

2022 – Numerology – Tarot – Written 26-12-2021

As is my custom I tend to have look at the numerology of the upcoming year.

Overall, 2022 is a six year which implies that it is about choosing between the old and the new.

But when I started to look and feel 2022, the thing that stood out was 22. I did not see it as 2 + 2 = 4.

I see it as 22 which is the dark jewel Egotism.

The feeling behind this stems from the prolonged coronavirus restrictions. So far people have been, by and large, able to keep a lid on it, on the pressure cooker.

“22 Egotism
Active Shortcoming: Self-importance
Behaviour: Self-opinionated, arrogant, self-centred, pompousness, holier-than-thou, longwindedness
Passive Shortcoming: Self-pity
Behaviour: Victim/martyr, hard-done-by, unappreciated, fear of exposure, fear of being wrong, fear of criticism”

Already people are blaming others. My first best guess hunch is that we will be seeing a lot of the behaviours associated with this dark jewel manifesting next year. Things could erupt and blow.

The negative manifestation of 22 is minus four. This is when 4 stability changes into inertia and death minus thirteen. As opposed to the positive version of 13 death of the old {ways}.

There will be a tendency to remain stuck. {Emphasis added today}

There could be a coronavirus Groundhog Day. The rich are vaccinated, the poor not. The virus in the poor will mutate and spread and the immunity conferred by the vaccine will again dwindle in the light of new variants.

There are a lot of twos.

Two means the need for humility and understanding for our fate is written for us in the book of destiny. If we are not sufficiently humble our destiny cannot evolve as we try to force our will on the world and dictate how life should sumbit to our precious and important plans.

I see a bifurcation, a split.

Those who have sufficient humilty and understanding will be able to choose between the old and the new. 2 + 2+ 2 = 6 They will be able to let go of what has served its purpose and usher in some new and freshness in their lives. They may get a taste of absolute freedom zero. They will feel the burden of the old lessen and a sense of new found adventure, nascent.

Those who insist and are adamant in their egotism will not be able to choose and in so doing opt for the stagnant inert and old ways of being. They will insist that life must be normal and remain the same. They will demand the right to their aquisitional materialism and continue to kill the planet with their greed. They will not change. There will be the slow death of stubbornness, stuck-ness and inertia. The more they refuse to change the more the universe will kneel them. Could mean more natural disasters.

Some people will change a lot next year, others will remain insistent and stubbornly stuck.

First pass…

All the twos
