Welcome to Week 22, which will see us through May and into June—a whole shift through the messy middle of the year, and into a breath of fresh air!

There will be a separate newsletter on June, to come on or around the first of the moth, but for now, bask in the flirtatious glory that is May in Gemini season, and check back in with our May 2025 forecast—how is your junk journal coming along? Mine is way more conceptual than I thought it would be at this stage, but I do have an amazing collection of things to add to it when the moment is right.

We are moving right along in this 9 collective year, where 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 #22

Twenty-two is a number of mastery, miracles, and building structures, systems, and solidarity through relationship and connection.

As I wrote in The Witch’s Book of Numbers: Enhance Your Witchcraft with Numerology, twenty-two is poetry meeting form. There are twenty-two cards in the tarot’s Major Arcana, twenty-two letters in the Hebrew alphabet, and twenty-two paths on the Kabbalistic Tree of Life. The atomic number of titanium is 22. It’s the proportion of Leonardo da Vinci’s Vitruvian Man. It’s art, it’s science, it’s sacred geometry, it’s sex.

This week, keep in mind the Sarah Lewis quote at the beginning of the chapter on Master Numbers, which I’m now calling Doubled Digits: “Masters are not experts because they take a subject to its conceptual end. They are masters because they realize that there isn’t one. On utterly smooth ground, the path from aim to attainment is in the permanent future.”

Keep reading for some food for thought based on your yearly cycle number!

May 26-June 1 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.

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.

In May 16th’s Friday Five, I shared about Know Your Lucky Numbers: How you can use Numerology to pick the right days to carry out your plans, a 1978 edition of Globe Mini Mag was sent to be my a beloved friend and cherished subscriber! This week, I’m curious what shifts when we move from my names for the numerological archetypes to the language used by this mini mag…

Read for your Yearly Cycle, but also check out your prominent chart placements, like Life Path and Public Persona, as well for the collective 9-year.
