Week #23: June 2-8, 2025

is the number 23 evil? an enigma? & what's discordianism? MORE INSIDE

Welcome to Week Twenty-three. It’s June! Do you feel the surge of energy this season brings? There’s so much to participate in, and so much to celebrate! And such an odd and auspicious number to engage with…

Perhaps you’d like to get a late start on Jami Attenberg’s 1000 Words of Summer, which kicked off on Saturday May 31st. (Technically, this weekly offering was my entry for the day!) Or maybe you’re right on time for Meg Jones Wall’s Tarot & Tropes challenge, which is getting going today, Sunday, June 1st. (Mine will be up soon on Instagram and Tumblr!) Find something and have some fun. PLEASE!

There’s no time like the present 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 #23

Twenty-three is a number of discord and devilry. It’s been described as lucky, unlucky, sinister, strange, sacred, unholy, and like… who amongst us, right?

Mathematically speaking, the number twenty-three has a long list of associations. I understand very little of them, but encourage those with more robust math brains than mine to do a little digging! It also appears throughout culture, myth, ritual, media and religion. The 23 enigma, which Robert Anton Wilson recalls hearing about from author William S Burroughs, names the phenomenon or preternatural significance to the number. After all, it does have a little something extra, don’t you think? Just ask Michael Jordan, David Beckham, or Lebron James.

This week, I want you to operate as if you, and everything around you, are synchronized and synergistic. For better; for worse. There is a greater game at play, but whether or not you control the board is not the objective. You must simply marvel and be marvelous without marching towards madness… Conspiracy, chaos and creation are yours for the taking. The play-making! The mind-bending-and-breaking! The only way out is through.

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

June 2-8 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.

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.
