2009 Numerology Forecast

On the path to a brighter future

by Hans Decoz

I see 2009 as the early stages of an awakening, global sense of brotherhood, the likes of which this world has never seen before. This cycle began in 2008 and will proceed for nine years through 2017. The changes brought about during this cycle will be gradual and realistic, but powerful. There will be a growing, underlying sense of sameness, an awareness that we are not that different from each other. There will be changes and actions that are obvious and visible to all, and then there will be transformations that happen below the surface.

Those changes in energy may be invisible to most of us, recognizable only when they cause some kind of manifestation that affects us on the physical plane. This developing consciousness, that we are all alike where it matters, that our differences are only superficial, that the things that make us different are things we have created within ourselves … these realizations will be the cornerstone of the future. And yet, they will develop below the surface, hidden from view for all but the most attentive among us. It would be unreasonable to expect diverse peoples like Christians and Muslims the world over to be hugging each other and living happily ever after in just a few years, but a change in that direction is nonetheless beginning.

Of course, your personal experience of what 2009 will bring, challenges and opportunities alike, depends on your individual cycles. In this article I will focus on the Universal cycles with some short excerpts for each Personal Year cycle at the conclusion. I expect more political and economic ups and downs for 2009, but that is to be expected. In my forecast for last year, I said that 2008 would be a year of political and economic mayhem, and the numbers for next year promise that 2009 will be no less of a roller-coaster ride. However, the changes and events I expect for 2009 are of a different nature.

The numbers 11, 7, and 9 dominate the 2009 calendar year. The number 11 symbolizes sensitivity, diplomacy, the resilient strength of feminine power, and the most supreme demonstration of wisdom: tolerance. Because the 11 plays such an important role, the contrast and violent clashes between tolerance and intolerance will become more disturbing than ever. The silver lining of this horrible black cloud is that every vicious expression of intolerance feeds the need for tolerance in those who witness it. Hate is self-destructive, and love self-perpetuates … do the math!

The number 7, meanwhile, indicates spiritual growth -- not to be confused with organized religion. The 7 is the true seeker in search of understanding. It is the age-old quest for enlightenment. In its purest form, the 7 does not take anything at face value, does not accept dogmas or claims of one true God. Nor does 7 acknowledge anyone who claims to speak on God's behalf. The 7 simply will not stop searching, not until knowing has taken the place of ignorance.

However, the 7 appears as a vacuum in 2009. This isn't as simplistic as "there will not be spiritual growth." Rather, its lack will be apparent. The world at large will need or crave the spiritual growth of the 7, and the absence of that growth will be especially noticeable. If the 7 is to be heard, its core message must somehow be added to the world at large. Exactly how this will express itself, I do not dare to guess. I am simply too biased, as the essential 7 has been the driving force in my life since early childhood. I have a sense that publication of mind-expanding (or perhaps even mind-shattering) material may weigh in on the situation.
