Week #3: January 13-19, 2025

food for thought for your yearly cycle number

Welcome to the third week of what’s already been a startlingly ferocious year. When looked at on their own, the dates this cycle—the 13th through the 19th—will take us from Death to The Sun. May we keep our weather(ed) eyes on the horizon towards brighter days ahead.

On Friday, I shared a list of resources and mutual aid efforts for those affected by the still-blazing fires in Los Angeles. If you haven’t already, please consider sharing it with a friend or family member, your social media or newsletter audience, or whoever might be in need of that information, or is in a position to support. And again, if you know of funds or resources that need a signal boost, send them my way and I’ll be sure to include them in my next missive.

I also want to put one more on your radar—The Displaced Black Families GoFund Me Directory, most of whom are from Altadena, which was ravaged by the Eaton fire, but is not receiving the same media coverage as the Palisades fire. This spreadsheet lists the names of the family, the link to their GoFundMe, the current amount raised, and their end goal. It’s also color-coded according to how close each campaign is to meeting its goal, and is updated hourly!

Sharing resources to various networks via newsletter emails also seems like the perfect way to ring in a week at the intersection of 3 and 9 energies!

Especially because 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 #3

Three is the number of creation and communication. It’s the smallest digit to encompass the whole of the journey, which you can see in the shape of its numeral, 3, which curves from the beginning, to the middle, to the end.

Some call three the magic number, as it’s connected to the witch-deity Hecate, often called the triple goddess, and the Greek messenger god Hermes, via the legendary figure of Hermes Trismegistus (a combination of Hermes and the Egyptian god of writing, wisdom and magic, Thoth), which means “Hermes the Thrice-Greatest.” Three’s archetype of The Communicator then furthers these associations through the writing principle of the Rule of Three, also known as the comic triple, which suggest that groupings of triads are more satisfying than any other numeric set, and often employs three’s quick wit, rhythm, and knowledge of tension and release to create a surprising and rewarding result.

Still, the number three reminds us that the twin of creation is destruction. Birth is bloody. Making is messy. Oftentimes we must tear things down in order to rebuild, and there is immense and illogical grief in this process. Three is the smallest of the mental numbers, ruling the lips, the tongue, the teeth, the jaw, the throat—the very apparatuses of the primal scream—where 2025’s collective number of nine is the largest lover of logic, and rules the electric meat machine that is the human brain. The central hub of knowledge and function, the one who calls the shots, even though as a species, we still don’t fully understand how exactly it works. This week, remember you can’t think your way out of pain.

January 13-19, 2025 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.
