Welcome to this week four of our Exploration 52 Weeks,
Looking at this number one year in numerology and how we awaken creative,
Use this space,
This time,
This rhythm to set the stage for our next big launch.
Come along,
Tell you more about what it means to follow this pattern.
Welcome awake and creative.
Week four,
Do you feel strong?
Have you got pillars set on this base?
We step forward into this one year in numerology,
Looking at it through the lens of our awakened creative selves.
I thought this was a good time to address what a one year implies.
If you're unfamiliar with numerology,
Check it out for yourself.
I've found it to be an informative system of understanding personal characteristics,
Universal characteristics,
And patterns of human design.
This one year comes to us by way of taking the year itself,
2026,
Adding up those digits and reducing it to a single digit,
2 plus 2 plus 6 is 10,
Which reduces to 1.
In the system of numerology,
These single digits give us tremendous information.
I'm not suggesting this is the way.
There are so many ways to educate yourself,
Inform yourself about human characteristics,
Systems,
And designs.
For me,
Numerology stands as the most clear cut.
I enjoy its simplicity,
But also dynamism.
Using it as a tool in the many quivered bag of tools I possess has added a great deal of strength and courage and personal fortitude to my creative practice.
Now in 2026,
As I said,
This is a number one year.
If you follow astrology,
One is like that of Aries,
The first house,
The initiation,
The individual.
In tarot,
It's represented by the magician.
We step into this one year,
Creating a base.
It's the place we start from,
And the more fortified we establish this base,
The better we are able to trust in the strength of the walls we'll put up,
The doorways and windows we'll install,
The roof that takes shape,
So that as the years unfold in this nine-year cycle,
We are firmly established in the direction we are choosing to go.
Now starts don't happen immediately.
We are not,
As much as some of us might like,
We are not at a starting block,
Shooting out of the gate.
2025 was a nine-year in numerology.
Nine represents the ending of a cycle,
The closing down and letting go,
And those energies still linger in this first month of this new year.
So don't be surprised if you're here in this fourth week,
Following this patterning,
Engaging yourself with the knowledge and system and suggestions as I am,
And finding that there's no movement,
There's no initiation,
It's there.
There's letting go still happening.
Building this base takes place on a daily basis while also we're clearing things away.
This is numerology.
This is what I am using as the foundation and form around which we will follow this patterning through the 52 weeks of this year so that as creatives,
As artists,
As makers into the world,
We're more profoundly part of the up-leveling that nature and the world,
Divine calling requires.
In other words,
You're more yourself.
Because here we stand in this one year,
Forming and molding and base camping our self so that we are the best we can be.
And with that,
This week's verse,
Phrase,
Quote,
Mantra,
Choose the term that suits your character best.
This week,
It comes from Sally Mann,
From her book,
Artwork.
It speaks everything to this one year,
To this individuation,
Authentication,
Specifically for the artist.
The life you lead is your art,
And the art you make is your life.
The life you lead is your art,
And the art you make is your life.
I can think of no better way to stand firmly as we begin this year,
In this one year,
In this one month,
Closing it out,
Turning to the next,
Realizing how important this is to establish the vantage point from which we will lead our life.
Awake and creative today.
