food for thought from members of the infamous 27 Club

Welcome to Week Twenty-seven, which will give us one quick day to wrap up June before plummeting us into the warm waters of July.

Everyone I know is exhausted and hot. Everyone I know needs a glass of ice water and a nap. And maybe this week won’t allow you much time to indulge, but I implore you to not deny your physical needs right now. Spoonies know the unfortunate difference between resting to recover, and resting to continue, and everyone I know could stand to focus on the latter to avoid total burnout.

We’re only halfway through 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 #27

Twenty-seven is a number of exit lanes and epiphanies. It is a threshold of transformation, which asks us to leave our old selves at the door.

According to the Pythagorean Life Cycles, a person’s lifetime can be broken up into three groups of twenty-seven years. Birth to age twenty-seven are considered one’s Youth, which matches an astrological timeline of maturation called the Saturn Return. However, not everyone makes the leap from youth to power, and there’s an entire cultural phenomenon, The 27 Club, about musicians and artists who’ve died at the infamous age. While there’s no scientific or statistical proof the age is more dangerous than any other, there are plenty of strange myths surrounding the deaths, including one involving white Bic lighters.
