Notes from Beyond-Reach Numerology

The Power of 8', Lions Gate Portal?

"The Lion's Gate Portal is an annual astrological and spiritual event that peaks on August 8 (8/8). It marks a cosmic alignment between the Earth, the Sun in Leo, and the star Sirius. Widely celebrated for manifestation, reflection, and personal transformation, the 2026 portal runs from late July through August 12". from Google

What is all this talk about a Portal - why is it important? Let me try to give you an explanation from the Numbers. The Portal is about the amplification of energy in 8'. Tarot tells us this is about the lessons of Strength. How do you accumulate strength? How do you 'tame the lion', and bring to balance the lessons of life to create 'true inner power and wisdom'?

I believe it is only in the doing. Life really is difficult to understand and navigate. Just like the Maiden on the card, the path of learning is in the Infinity symbol. We find we come back to what we thought we knew, understand it better, and add to our knowledge base earning our inner wisdom and power. Manifestation is useful if allied by action. Personal transformation is brought about by making an effort towards your goals and reflecting on your progress. Think about how the Maiden 'learned through experience to hold the lion' with trust and care. How do you hold your own lion - how do you show yourself trust, care, and courage in your life? The lion is about life - your life.

A closer look at the Destiny calculation of today breaks down like this:

8' (Day) +

8' (Month) +

2026 = 2042 = 8' Strength

The calculation doesn't always work out to the repeating echo of the energy of 8'. This year is indeed a powerful special triple 8' Portal, and a big reminder of the work we should be doing on ourselves.

Note the change in next year's date:

8' (Day) +

8' (Month) +

2027 = 2043 = 9' The Hermit, the Number of Completion. Have you completed your lessons?

Did you notice the appearance of an old Challenger?

8' (Day) +

8' (Month) = 16/7' Chaos, The Tower

This is the Ultimate Goal calculation. Chaos seems to be a constant companion to life these days. We are all being asked to 'grow bigger - be stronger'. When you feel a bit deflated, think of the Maiden holding the lion. Believe in your strength to defeat the challenges of these times. As a reminder, have a read through 8's energy in the cards. It's all about developing our 'Inner Strength'. "Do not let the Lion defeat you - learn to be the Noble Lion".

The Master of Truth II - the energy of 33'

"The needs of the Many outweigh the needs of the Few"

Spock in the 1982 film Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan

I'm writing with a special reason today. I noticed while looking at the calendar of 2026, a repeating pattern occurring in the Numbers. The pattern began in the month of March this year, and is continuing till the end of the year in December. What is unique and remarkable about this is it involves the chemistry and magic of three numbers - one of them being the power of 33'. So, what is showing up together this year?

Without fail 16/7' is making a solid appearance. It is a Karma number. In my Number deck, this energy encourages "Balance in Love". In Tarot, 16/7' is "The Tower or Chaos". Starting with March this year, every month has and will bring in Chaos. Think about the world so far this year? I'm sure we can agree that this is true.

33', the "Master of Truth" returns to help us. 33' is offering 'healing by understanding and accepting the truth of what we are witnessing in the Chaos. In Tarot, we look to the base energy of 33', which is 6', "The Lovers". Love encourages us to act with compassion, patience, and wisdom. Grow bigger than we've ever been - be 33' or try in our reactions to what we see.

The last number to show up is the Karma number of 13/4'. It brings the lesson of Transformation in my cards, or Death/Rebirth in the Tarot. It couldn't be more clear. Evolve, be different in your thoughts and actions. "Be the thing you wish to see in the new world to come".

Importantly, 16/7' Chaos + 33' Love = 49 = 13/4' Transformation.

These are not little energies... They match completely what we are going through at the moment. "Defeat Chaos by using Love to Transform yourself, and thereby Transforming the World". Remember, Karma always returns until lessons have been resolved. The long view of history shows us that.

"If you want new answers - you must be prepared to do new things". The chaos of the world will continue, but if you want something better change yourself first.

"The needs of the Many outweigh the needs of the Few"

and not

"The needs of the Few outweigh the needs of the Many"

The Universe, and this World will be a better place 'if we try' in 33's energy. Have a read of the cards from last post again. We are being asked to evolve every month, and in every way till the end of the year. I'll be flagging the repeating Medicine pattern in my posts. Don't let the chaos overtake you. Breathe, listen, and think of new ways of being. That's why you're here.

Again, in the words of Spock, go and...

"Live Long and Prosper"

The Master of Truth - the energy of 33'

To see a World in a Grain of Sand,
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand,
And Eternity in an hour

William Blake, from the "Auguries of Innocence and Experience", 1803

Such a beautiful way to define 33'. The upper ethereal Master lessons are all about coming out of the body and work on ourselves, to experiencing the gifts of the world and the heavens, and to learn to expand. But, how do you 'hold Infinity in the palm of your hand'? How do your integrate, balance, and use that understanding for the good of all?

I think the answer is 'simply to try'... If we all attempt to grow bigger than ourselves, we can only add to the Universal experience of being truly human. To be humane - to evolve, enlighten, and create a better and better definition of humanity is the goal, or it should be in all belief systems. What do you think? The times are calling for this... It is certainly a time for the need of 33'. Listen to your Soul's advice. You are here at this time, in this life for a reason?

In my cards, the colour of 33's energy is deeper yellow. The element is Air, and the energy is both masculine and feminine - action with balance. The amplification of 3' in 33', the Artist (in my cards), and the Empress in Tarot to learn to express Universal Care. Note the considerable challenges to 33' energies. This is not easy work - and not every Soul chooses it for their lessons. Further note the Healing suggestions for 33'.

From my "Numerology for the Soul Guidance Cards and Booklet",

33’ is Deep Yellow and the energy of The Master of Divine Truth. The challenge with this task is to demonstrate the responsibility of ‘Love and the Divine Truth in Unity’. The deeper lessons of love create harmony. This devotion to love and for love can be seen and felt for all. Global and Universal love begins with us.

3 + 3= 6’, “I Act in the Divine Truth of Love”. Masculine and Feminine, Air.

I wish you the strength, courage, and 'humanity' to attempt the lessons of 33', even if this energy is not in your Numbers. The Universe, and this World will be a better place 'if we try'.

The Master Visionary - the energy of 22'

As we climb into the ether of the Upper Realms, we rise from the Master energy of 11', the Bridge to the equally 'hard to hold' energy of 22', the Master Visionary. Did you notice that every Master is an amplification of its original base number? So, 11' is the acceleration of 1', the Alchemist, 'I Am', I create and serve justice. 22' is the acceleration of 2', the Intuitive, 'I Feel', I wish to bring my Vision to action.

The energy of 22' is joyful - quite simply people who come into this life with this energy feel the joy and wonder of the Universe. They want to create and share their vision and drive with the world. The energy of 22' is infectious - and people are drawn to those that have this luminous energy.

In my cards, the colour of 22's energy is orange. The element is Fire, and the drive is masculine and one of action. In Tarot, 22' is represented by the Fool. If you have a deck, you will see that the Fool carries the 'knowledge of all of the Numbers preceding it in his bag over his shoulder'. In short, he carries 'the wisdom of the Universe', and wants to share it and build a new world.

Remember, the challenge of Master work is also amplified. If you have 22' energy, you must be able to cast away your doubts, hesitation, and fears in order to share your Vision. It is one thing to imagine a perfect world - quite another to boldly build one. Master of 22' must keep in mind that the goal of a better world is not just for them, but for everyone. They must make people believe in their honorable quest lest they suffer appearing as the shadow side of the Fool, spreading joy and empty dreams that can't come true.

Have a read through the cards of 22'. It is an ineffable energy - so worth taking a pause to enjoy and remember what 'happiness' feels like.

The Tarot of 11'

Something has been telling me to talk to you a little bit more about the energy of 11'. Let's use Tarot to do this. Have a long look at the Major Arcana card for 11', which portrays the ideas of Justice (from the Radiant Rider-Waite deck). The figure of the woman is sitting on a throne holding a sword and scales. The sword represents the desire 'to defend and see things right; righteousness'. The scales suggest the ideas of 'creating balance and harmony' in one's life. This is a big mission for a Soul to carry out in this life.

From Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justice:

.."Justice, according to Plato, is about balance and harmony. It represents the right relationship between conflicting aspects within an individual or a community. He defines justice as everyone having and doing what they are responsible for or what belongs to them.[3] In other words, a just person is someone who contributes to society according to their unique abilities and receives what is proportionate to their contribution. They are in the right place, always striving to do their best, and reciprocating what they receive fairly and equitably. This applies both at the individual level and at the organizational and societal levels.[4]"...

Notice the words, "represents the right relationship between conflicting aspects within an individual or a community". An 11' Soul is coming into life with ancestral history and desire 'of wanting to see things right'. Therein lies the rub... How do you tune into the stories of the past and the urge that one feels to do right, but yet stay connected and present in the life you are trying to lead? Remember, the use of 'static electricity in trying to tune in the radio' from the last post? The questions of 'acting true and honourable for all' must be asked throughout an 11's life.

Master work requires learning to focus the Soul's gift to listen within and without - and the pause for wisdom to understand the actions that may be needed for 'justice'. Think how hard this might be in our world at the moment? And, yet there are many who have come to Earth to hold this energy and do this work at such a critical time. 11's hold this wish, in order to achieve 'enlightenment' not only for themselves, but for the cause of 'enlightenment for humanity'.

As a reminder and reflection, now read about 11' and review the Guidance cards. Does this bring more weight to the title of last month's post, "the Higher the Fewer"?

11’ is Deep Red and the first of the Higher Numbers. This energy represents The Bridge. The challenge of this task is to ‘Discern and Balance’ the messages being brought from the Higher Realms, and within reason put in action the knowledge that is received.

1 + 1= 2’, “I am the Bridge and believe in my Intuitive Power to Lead”. Feminine, Air.

The Higher - the Fewer

The next Number in our sequence of energies would have been 10', The Wheel of Fortune. We discussed 10' at the beginning of 2026= 10'. Have a glance backward in our Medicine posts, if you'd like to be reminded. Let's begin now with the first of the higher Master Numbers, 11' The Bridge.

I want you to imagine the chakra chart from last week in your mind. Remember, the placement of Numbers 8' and 9', external to the body, but in the initial ethereal field of the body. Now, imagine where 11's energy might be located. "Our bodies are attached to Earth, but our Minds and Souls can connect to the Above and Below if we allow ourselves to travel". At first, it may be difficult to 'tune into' 11's energy, and it may sound like static electricity on a radio. Fine tuning can only be had by practice and a gentle touch.

From my "Numerology for the Soul Guidance Cards booklet":

11’ is Deep Red and the first of the Higher Numbers. This energy represents The Bridge. The challenge of this task is to ‘Discern and Balance’ the messages being brought from the Higher Realms, and within reason put in action the knowledge that is received.

The voices of our Ancestors and Guides, and our own Soul Spirit may at times seem chaotic and difficult to understand. The lesson is to believe in your power and use this higher guidance to help yourself and others.

1 + 1= 2’, “I am the Bridge and believe in my Intuitive Power to Lead”. Feminine, Air.

My teacher believed that humanity wasn't capable of understanding, balancing, and managing the connection and lessons of the Higher Numbers. And, yet I have seen these energies coming through with much hope and courage in people's "Roads of Enlightenment, and in the Expression of their names". There are not many - but they are there. Hence, 'the Higher the Fewer' willing to try.

“Some day the time will come when all the double-digit master numbers will become active as we grow in consciousness to the point where our inner urges will increase, and the higher and higher vibrations will be felt”. Dr. Julia Seton

It is all about Energy

We have been on a very big journey through the energy, vibration, resonance, and tone of the Numbers 1' - 9'. But really, we have been meeting the Number Archetypes. In order to bring definition to each number, we have looked at placement of energy in the chakra system of the body, the elemental energy of each number, the gender energy, and the Tarot character of the numbers. If you have just joined us, please feel free to read through the past Medicine posts. And, to those who have been following, it is always useful to review and remind yourselves of where we are on the journey.

Have you found your Destiny energy yet? The Destiny calculation is the first - and most important "Road of Enlightenment" for your Soul story. The other three Roads support and enhance your Destiny journey. In time, we will be going through the calculations for all your Roads, as well as your Expression in this life. We will be defining the Medicine Wheel of your life. But for now, let's consider what we have learned. It is always rewarding to consider the role of energy.

If you have done your Destiny calculation, and if it is within the Numbers of 1' - 9' - try placing your energy within the chakra chart. Remember, 1' is at the root of the body traveling upwards to 7' at the crown. 8' and 9' are above the crown and external to the body. Look for the colours of 8' being silver, and 9' being gold in the outer chakra field.

As we have said all along in our calculations, "If you get a Master Number of 10', 11', 22', and 33' do not reduce. We will be discussing the importance of the Master energies next. It is a good time for a pause, for a breath, and for a deep consideration of the importance of the Numbers and the Soul lessons each one has brought. Human life is about the 'Enlightenment journey'. It is about the joining of the mind, the body, and the Soul to become your experienced wisdom. "May it be so"...

My loving husband brought me a song poem today, without knowing I was writing this post. It is so incredibly beautiful and perfectly timed. I hope you can feel its importance as much as I...

Wise Man in your Heart

I met a man, a wise old man, the day I lost my pride. He told me he belonged to me but from me he would hide. And that I would not hear his voice until I learned to sing. Now every time I sing I know that I belong. Belong to him.

Singing O why... Singing O why...

He told me he would teach me everything I tried to know. He made me see that you and me are dreamers in a show. And when the days were darkest then he lit them with his moons. And then we crossed the rainbow bridge but we came back... Came back too soon...

Singing O why... Singing O why...

He showed me where he was that man that man I could not see. He pointed to the sky until a ladder I could see. I climbed for many lives to find the secret golden flower. And then I woke and found I'd slept for less than half... Than half an hour.

Singing O why... Singing O why...

He brought us back together then when I was all alone. He made me see I was not just of earth and skin and bone. O, it makes you feel so beautiful you can tell your Self apart. Everytime you listen to the wise man in your heart.

Singing O why... Singing O why...

Gong, Daevid Allen, 2000

The Hermit. The energy of 9'.

The energy of 9' is 'completion'. People with this energy feel very deeply the need to make a space of their own, and one outside of the noise and hustle of everyday life. 9' people seek quiet - almost like a medicine for their Soul in order to integrate the knowledge they've accumulated through hard won lessons in this life and past lives. They become the Hermit. That isn't to say they won't interact with others and help when they can - it is just that they need to set boundaries on that help and save some for themselves.

9’ is Gold and represents your Soul Star Chakra located within the body and without creating a secondary and higher auric field. This is your Soul remembering all its life stories and wisdom. It is the energy of “I am all that I have been – I am here to Complete. I wish to share my knowledge”. The Hermit. Masculine, Earth.

(from "Beyond-Reach Numerology for the Soul Guidance Cards" booklet. You can find these cards under the Numerology Readings section)

Try to picture in your mind, the energy of 9' filling your Soul. It's golden vibration makes your spirit resonate with all the lessons of the lower numbers you've traveled. You feel the wisdom that you have collected, and in some way you wish to share that with others, but also feel your own place in the Universe and your importance. The Tarot shows the Hermit holding a lantern out in the dark. Maybe, this lantern is as much for yourself as it is for others, in that it shows and reminds of 'enlightenment'. "I belong to all things in balance - the above, the below, and in the world of now. And, with that knowledge I complete myself". If you have a destiny of 9', don't be in such a hurry. Wonderful wisdom is gained by slow and wise steps... let yourself feel this process.

Have a read through the Essence, Challenge, and Healing cards. Do you have a Destiny of 9'? Add the birth date, month, and year you were born to gether to get a Number. Then, reduce that Number to its smallest component/root. If you get a Master Number of 10', 11', 22', and 33' do not reduce. In time, we will discuss the importance of the Master energies.

*Note: The energy of today:

27 (9') + 2' + 2026=2055=12= 3' The Artist

In a sense, the Hermit of 9' joins forces with the Intuitive of 2' to create the destiny of 3', the Artist. "In the quiet, are you listening to your own intuition to guide and help you express yourself"?

This image is from a visit I took to Norwich Cathedral, Norfolk, UK. I thought the hidden stairwell perfectly caught the feeling of 9', The Hermit.

Strength. The energy of 8'.

We have made it through the central and primary lessons brought by the Numbers 1' to 7' - from the root to the crown of the chakra energies. These initial energies are meant to teach us about how our Body, Mind, and Soul can work in together in harmony. It is all about understanding and building our inner world. For the first time, the energy of 8' allows us to escape the body - and reach for new meaning in the outer world. Like the beautiful white egret in the photo, we see ourselves from above being able to gaze down on our progress, and then reach for the stars and Upper Realms on 'how to grow bigger'. This certainly means maintaining our hard earned inner 'Strength' to stretch our capabilities further.

"The energy of Number 8’ is Silver and represents the Star Connection chakra located just above your head and surrounding the body with an auric field. This is the energy of “I Connect to the Higher Realms and to Divine Love”. I wish to build my Inner Strength with this energy. Feminine, Fire".

(from "Beyond-Reach Numerology for the Soul Guidance Cards" booklet. You can find these cards under the Numerology Readings section)

The Tarot card for 8' is Strength, and is represented by a beautiful maiden 'holding and taming a lion'. The poetry of that image speaks for itself. The maiden is you, learning to blend, control, and gift your inner world to a bigger outer world that needs your meaning and contribution. In our Western culture, some mistake 8's power to be defined simply through money, position, and material things. The beauty of 8' is in the wisdom that there is more in our lives than this. The 'silver lining' is in belonging to and sharing in community. It is the understanding of being part of the human family, and the natural and earthly world.

Have a read through the Essence, Challenge, and Healing cards. Do you have a Destiny of 8'? Add the birth date, month, and year you were born to gether to get a Number. Then, reduce that Number to its smallest component/root. If you get a Master Number of 10', 11', 22', and 33' do not reduce. In time, we will discuss the importance of the Master energies.

The Spirit Seeker. The energy of 7'.

When I reflect over the years, one of the most mentioned and loved Numbers for people has been 7'. Most of the time, they don't know why - they just feel a pull to the energy of 7'. If there is a Number that wishes to encourage 'the wonder and meaning of being human - it is the Spirit Seeker'. Questions like, "What is the meaning and purpose of life? What does this mean to me? Can I find belief in my purpose"?

Perhaps, a way to understand 7', is to review our progress through the Chakra system of the body. Envision in your mind, and try to travel up through the lessons of these energies and feel them within:

Root Chakra, Number 1', The Alchemist, "I Am"

Sacral Chakra, Number 2', The Intuitive, "I Feel"

Solar Plexus Chakra, Number 3', The Artist, "I Express"

Heart Chakra, Number 4', The Builder, "I Build"

Throat Chakra, Number 5', The Pathfinder, "I Change"

Third Eye Chakra, Number 6', The Lovers, "I See"

Crown Chakra, Number 7', The Spirit Seeker, "I Seek"

Number 7' can be seen as the Mind/Ego perceiving itself. It has traveled through the all the inner lessons of the Numbers, and now there is a 'need/want for placement in the Universe'. Balance can be found in 'Spirit Seeking' by looking outwards at different belief systems, nature, art, music... The list could go on infinitely, but the important message is to "Seek outside yourself, and your Mind/Ego for different ideas and perspective". In a way, Spirit Seeking is a good check/balance system to keeping yourself grounded.

The colour of 7' is violet. The element of Water represents 7'. Perhaps, this means to keep your inner knowledge of Self/Identity 'flowing' in the World. Do not become romanced and enclosed by your Ego. The energy of 7' is masculine - take action through flow. It is a hard question to ask, but "What meaning do I have in the world, if I do not look outside myself to become bigger than my own individual beliefs and wants"?

Have a read through the Essence, Challenge, and Healing cards. Do you have a Destiny of 7'? Add the birth date, month, and year you were born together to get a Number. Then, reduce that Number to its smallest component/root. If you get a Master Number of 10', 11', 22', and 33' do not reduce. In time, we will discuss the importance of the Master energies.
