Welcome to 2017

a Universal year 1.

In Tarot terms 2017 is the year of The Magician.

Every January 1st many of us feel like the person in The Existence card, The Osho Zen deck version of the Magician.

A new year is often seen as a chance to start fresh and create a new better version of ourselves.

To successfully do that, we need to let go of our mistakes and of the bad habits and concepts that keep us stuck.

In Numerology a year 9 is when we are asked to finish what we started and let go of everything and every one that does not help us anymore.

2016 was a Universal year 9, the time to clean up house and make space and time for the new opportunities and goals of 2017, a year 1.

In Numerology life goes on in 9 years cycles.

There is a Universal year which impacts everyone and a Personal year which represents your own little world.

The Universal year is the big ocean and the Personal year is your own little island in it.

For a more detailed explanation you might want to read another post of mine Personal year and Universal year number .

The 1 energy is intense, creative, single minded, original, self centered and self sustaining.

2017 will likely bring lots of changes and innovation.

It is a year well suited for creative, original people who prefer to work on their own and are not afraid of walking off the paved path.

The Magician represents all those people who march at the beat of their own drum.

The Magician is an A personality. Someone who is creative, courageous and who is skilled at many things. The Magician can inspire us, but he does not play well with others as he does not follow the rules.

In a Universal year 1 the time is now, not later.

It is a time for action and for decisive people.

Let me close with some good affirmations for a year 1.

Seize the moment.

You have got the power.

If you can visualize it you can create it.

Stay with it, don’t get distracted.

Just do it.
