It’s the twentieth week of the year, the heart of Taurus season. The moon will soon be full in Scorpio. Here, take a beat and a breath.
Twenty weeks, wow. We can look back to Weeks Two and Eleven to track the experience of the number 2 as it’s moving through 9-ruled 2025. What was happening for you during those weeks? Are there any connections between those weeks as it pertains to the things you love and the things you make? Is there a story line playing out, unraveling before your very eyes? Check in with the forecasts for further flavor and fuel.
In a 9 collective year, every single daily, weekly, and monthly number is amplified. Due to the fact that 9 can essentially be canceled out in any reduction calculation it appears in (truly, try some out, i.e. 1+9 = 10, 1+0 = 1), every core number this year becomes more of itself. Magnified, and polarized. Embodying both sides of the coin at the same time.
Meaning for this week…

Week #20
Twenty is a number of reckoning and resurrection. It’s another threshold, another decade, another opportunity to reflect and redirect. Thank goodness.
This is the first number I’ve struggled to write about. Maybe it’s me, maybe it’s judgment. Maybe it’s that two is a number of silence, of breath, of heartbeats and hand-prints. Maybe it’s that I’ve watched multiple seasons of both Summer House and Southern Charm in the span of a couple of weeks, and my brain has turned to mush. Maybe it’s because this upcoming lunation is lighting up my 12th House of what’s unseen, unacknowledged and unprocessed. Maybe it’s something else.
This week could have us feeling exposed and exhausted. Do what feels good and right for you. Do what gets you through the day, the week, and the underworld. If you’re feeling renewed, lean into your newest sense of self and rock on! But there’s no shame in this game if you’re cocooning or escaping or surviving.
Keep reading for some food for thought based on your yearly cycle number!
May 12-18 for Your Yearly Cycle
To find your yearly cycle number, add the digits of your month and day of birth to 2025, and reduce until you reach a single digit. For example, the calculation for my birthday of July 7 looks like: 7+7+2+0+2+5 = 23, 2+3 = 5.
Everyone can also read the entry for 9 because it’s the collective experience of 2025.
Please note that I reduce doubled digit numbers like 11 and 22 to their root numbers when working with yearly cycles, so please calculate and read accordingly.
