2015, is the 8th Universal Year in this
current 9-year Cycle. This is a year in which the world begins to truly
reap what was sown in 2008. The Eight has a strong association with the
elements of power, big affairs, big business, money and finances. And,
Eight has an extremely strong connection with the concept of Karma
(receiving that which you deserve for your actions)
and the Universal Laws of return and attraction. If you lay the Eight
on its side, it is the symbol of Infinity and the unending cycle of life
and consciousness. The number 8 card in the Tarot is Strength.
8
symbolizes form that is solidified in matter. “As you sow, so shall you
reap.” the energy of Karma, the Universal Law of Truth, that is cause
and effect. As mankind creates, in thought, desire and action, the right
vibration manifests on the material plane and we reap the harvest.
Go back to 2008 and consider the many major events that took
place throughout the world. In the United States it was the financial
collapse/disaster of Wall Street and then a couple of months later, the
election of Barack Obama, the first black American president. The latter
event was followed by a promise and an agenda set forth by the
opposition to do everything in their power to stop Obama from being an
effective president. The former events may portend an even greater
financial crisis. This is especially true if the groundwork that has
been laid over the last seven years was designed to further impugn the
integrity of the institutions that serve the greater good, through
actions that are not beneficial to the public at large. If steps were
taken to truly improve the sector, with the public's benefit and welfare
in mind, then this will be a turn-around year for everyone.
In this author's opinion, 2015 promises to make all previous
years either pale in comparison, or be enough of a negative force that
it prompts politicians to begin working for the best interests of
everyone. The people of the United States spoke in 2008 and resoundingly
said they were for the concepts of hope and change. Can that vision
become a reality this year? Or, have we lost our way and have traveled
further along the path towards submission to the rich and powerful? This
Universal 8 Year presents the stage for the realization of the
overwhelming need to unify with the god forces of the Universe. No
matter your personal belief, this is the time to align yourself with a
more peaceful and loving center. For today's world, the encouragement is
to look at the big picture and do what is necessary to bring about
grand scale actions that benefit the greater good. 2015 holds great
potential for big things to occur that can shake the world.
The very positive aspects of the Eight during 2015 include
success and progress in the realm of money, finances and rewards for
work accomplished. The 8 Universal Year can bring about great prosperity
for both individuals and businesses. This will in turn lead to great
national prosperity and the ripples of success can reach out and touch
everyone. In the world of business, 2015 can be a year of increased
mergers and take-overs, either hostile or compatibly. This year can also
be a year for improving relationships with other countries both
politically and economically. Of course, a great deal of activity in
this sector will be firmly tied to what groundwork was laid in 2008.
Optimistically, we can expect big things in the world and perhaps, a
real opportunity for political treaties that will end the strife and
conflicts begun in the One Universal Year.
The negatives of an 8 Universal Year are not vibrations or
energies that encourage love, peace and understanding. At its worst the
Eight can be quite aggressive, angry and vindictive. This approach can
be implemented by either governments or businesses, and in the absolute
worst scenario, the two working in concert.
Greatly dependent upon the moods and beliefs that were put into
place in 2008, we can either experience some positive growth and
movement or, we can begin to experience greater political anarchy and
political unrest. Since the energy of any particular Universal
(or Personal Year) is first felt about 4-6 weeks prior to the actual beginning date, the civil unrest that was being experienced
(especially in the United States)
in the final six weeks of 2014, can be a strong indicator of what lies
ahead of us. It is imperative that a dialogue that flows in two
directions
(think of the sign of Infinity, opposing direction that intersect in the middle as they continue their never-ending movement)
is of a positive and inclusive nature, in which all perspectives,
attitudes and beliefs are put on the table for discussion. Strident,
stubborn voices of opposition and position needs to be marginalized so
that the middle ground can take hold to guide the discussion.
An 8 Universal Year can be a year of political and social
revolutions. If people voted for hope and change (in its purest, most
honest form, not the political platitudes) they may begin to truly voice
their displeasure with the powers that be who failed to deliver. The
8's dark side can emerge through an increase of anger resulting in
tempers flaring and conflicts begun. On the international stage, this
could lead to increased aggression created by political motives driven
by greed and a lust for power. Conflicts currently being fought could
lead to a larger war-style engagement.
In the world of business, 2015 could also see an uptick in big
bankruptcies by large companies, with some of that action being
triggered by some type of criminal activity. Activity that was uncovered
under the influence of the 7 during 2014. Once again, the financial
greed that drove the collapse of 2008 may once again rear its ugly head
in a new, and even greater round of financial chicanery. Wearing its
worst 'face', the Eight is the master criminal.
On the health front, 2015 may see a new round of epidemic
diseases. Again, it would be wise to look back at 2008 to see what seeds
may have been sown to bring about something this year.
So, where does this leave us, the citizens of the world? How the
power of the 8 becomes manifest is the most important aspect. If a
peaceful future in which we all coexist with a sense of brotherhood and
love is important to you, then raise your voice in 2015. If you were, or
are, in favor of true hope and change, then raise your voice in 2015.
In this author's opinion, the world is on the brink of a major turning
point in its existence and the two paths are very different and
distinct. It is important for the people to be heard and considered. It
is time for everyone to think, and
(perhaps, more importantly) feel for themselves.
The world in the Universal Year 8 of 2015 has great potential for
increased wealth and prosperity. For whom should the wealth accrue?
Work for your own best interests, but at all times, keep others in mind.
The realization that 'we are all in this together' must take firm root
in the consciousness of each and everyone of us. Differences must be
recognized, acknowledged and accepted. The continuing marginalization of
not only individuals, but entire countries, ethnicities and cultures
must be recognized for what it is...an attempt to separate and control.
The mighty, and ugly power of the 8 cannot be allowed to take hold.
Raise your voice. The power lies within each and every one of us.
In closing, remember the sign of Infinity, the never-ending cycle
of the law of return. It would behoove each one of us if we gave some
time and consideration to the understanding that what we think, feel,
say and do shows up in the world. From the micro to the macro. Put forth
all your efforts in a positive fashion and it will be returned in kind.
The ripples will continue until all are reached and touched by these
forces.
I wish you, the reader, a life of loving thoughts and the experience of having them returned.
Blessings of Love and Light
