2021 – A 5-Universal Year
“Change is gonna come.” - Sam Cooke The headline for my 2020, a 4 Universal Year forecast was: “RECONSTRUCTION AND BUILDING A STRONG FOUNDATION OR, DESTRUCTION AND CHAOS.” We received a great deal of the latter and not much of the former and, as we move into 2021, therein lies the rub. That very situation will create a great many problems because the 5 Year is the middle year of any 9-year cycle. It is a fulcrum year. A year in which balance is necessary as a means to create the positive modifications that are required during what is a year of change. It is a year for which a strong, organized, and stable foundation is necessary. For it is only on a strong foundation that changes can take hold, knowing that there is a structure that is holding things together, thus enabling the changes to take root, prosper and, progress. In the realm of numerology, 2021 is a FIVE Universal year. A FIVE year is a year of change, transformation, transitions, and movement. It is also a representation of the human condition (the 5 senses). With that in mind, 2021 portends a culmination of the changes that have been sweeping the planet over the past few years beginning in 2016 (a 9 Universal Year, a year of endings). Because in 2016 we did not rid ourselves of those things that did not serve the greater good and, for the past four years we have been dealing with the result of the lack of action on that front, coupled with a constant stream of chaotic and misguided behavior, what has resulted is the exacerbation of all the conditions and situations that have burdened this country (and others) for many years. This year has the potential to finally place humankind on a new and more beneficial (to all) course although I doubt that the path will be easy. One of the conditions that must exist so that the energy of the 5 can work well is that the previous year, a Universal 4, was used to build and maintain a solid foundation and structure for moving forward. As we are all aware, 2020 was anything but that. It was a year of chaos and upset, that included a viral pandemic that completely upended all aspects of life throughout the world. It is that fact that makes me believe that although we may see some improvement in 2021, we may be in for a long and difficult haul before we get to a place of “normal” and that “normal” will be a new type of normal, that is, new in the sense when it is compared to that with which we are familiar and comfortable. Because the 5 represents the human condition and the five senses, it is this aspect that makes me believe that the virus will continue to be with us as a part of life for some time to come. I believe that there are great lessons that have not been taught and learned and, that are long overdue from being integrated into our lives. Many of these lessons concern the way we treat our physical bodies and, our physical home. It is something to which we must adjust as we continue to deal with the effects on the physical, mental, and emotional parts of our beings. One of the conditions that was highlighted during 2020 due to the pandemic was that everyone had to slow down. Consumption slowed. Damage to our environment was given a respite. It is one part of the structure represented by the 4 that was a necessary addition to our lives...learning to take time for ourselves. Taking time to be appreciative of what we have and becoming less concerned with obtaining more. Taking time to honor ourselves and, by so doing, learning to honor others. All of these things were structural changes in society and, given the opportunity to be nourished and encouraged, can have great long-term effect on everyone. Humans have done all that we can to assert our superiority over others and, more importantly, over our planet. In doing so we have wreaked havoc and created problems worldwide. I believe the Earth is a living, breathing entity and has had just about enough of our shit. Since we don't particularly listen to, or pay attention to the signals that the planet sends us, I believe she is responding in a way that gets our attention. And that way was to give us a worldwide health situation that is forcing us to realize how closely interconnected we all are and, more importantly, that what affects one, affects all. The pandemic has highlighted the many areas of society and government in which we fail to adequately care for our citizens while shining a bright light on those areas in which we fall woefully short in insuring that every person can live a fair and equitable life. We have been tragically reminded during 2020 of how much work remains when it comes to race relations, racism, hunger, housing, education, law enforcement in need of reform and, the lack of adequate health care resources so that every man, woman and, child can receive the medical care and treatment they deserve as well as a standard of living worthy of any human being. As with all years, there are positive and negative aspects that must be considered. Please keep in the mind that any and all of the situations and conditions that follow are certainly possible. My concern is that the lack of the underlying structure and organization may be too tenuous for anything to take a strong hold in whatever area it may be a part of or, that the lack of structure will embolden and encourage some to engage in and promote unrest and conflict. Much will depend on the strength and capability of those in the positions of authority who hold the power to affect anything and everything that happens. Or, doesn't. One of the positive aspects of a FIVE Universal year indicates an increase in the activity surrounding commerce and trade, with an improvement in the overall economic conditions globally. This may be the year when the world financial picture shows some sustained growth with a healthier outlook and, a new perspective, although I believe that true improvement will not occur until 2022 (a Universal 6 Year). This, of course, will be directly effected by the groundwork and foundation that was laid in 2020 (a Universal 4 Year) and, because we fell short on so many levels, this process may take longer than we would like. It is also incumbent upon us to demand and help create the changes that are required. From a numerological perspective, it is ironic that we are looking to the FIVE to bring order to the chaos that was borne out of a wasted and misguided FOUR year. Under normal circumstances, we would be firmly rooted in a foundation that could support and withstand any upcoming changes. More important in the context of the FIVE year will be conditions and situations concerning the human condition. 2021 should see a great increase in the interest in metaphysics and psychology...a more intense and far-reaching desire to more fully understand our existence here on Earth. In Numerology, FIVE is an indication of the human experience and the FIVE senses, and it is within this context where a greater focus will be aimed. People will be drawn to better educating themselves in new and different subjects, while simultaneously intensifying their knowledge of the “whys” of their lives. There will be a development in new attitudes and beliefs, and a rejuvenation of the human spirit. A rise in the condition of the “one” will be seen as a natural baseline for the rising up of all of mankind. Individuals will look to not only gain deeper insight and understanding into their personal existence, they will also be more in-tune with their part in the bigger picture...”what part do I play in the whole?” People will be much more aware of the effects that their individual efforts have on the collective. We may see an increase in heroic actions that lift us all to a better place. This may all be coupled with new and (in the context of the times) radical views on the way we live and co-exist with one another and our planet. The FIVE Universal year brings about expansion in many realms of living. There will be an undercurrent of change and transition that will affect societies and the way things are handled (think back to the social changes of 1967). People will more fully understand the importance of being versatile and of possessing the innate ability to foster the changes necessary to improve the “race consciousness” as it pertains to living in concert with the planet on which we reside. The influence of the 5, and its association with the concept of law and order, may impel action in the realm of law enforcement and policing practices in general while changes also come about in the area of jurisprudence. Improvements in many aspects of living and commerce may be brought about. New ideas and thought patterns that more keenly connect us to our sense of spirit and our thoughts about oneness may spring up in all segments, cultures, and countries around the globe. In the United States, 2021 may bring about a change in our elections and electoral processes. This may very well be the year when a new, third party arises from the political landscape as people desire, and clamor for a change in the system and the way things are done. It is important to remember that CHANGE and BALANCE are two key words associated with the 5 energy and it is obvious to this author that change is necessary and things most definitely must be brought into balance for the good of everyone. On the negative side of the 5 Universal year, there may be an increase in international nervousness, as reactions to the impending changes are met with fear and a show of force. One of the other conditions the 5 represents are the tenets of law and order. While people will be seeking justice, the powers that be may react by using new, and more restrictive laws to hold onto their place of power. As the old way of doing things falls away, we may experience great opposition to the new, more radical (relatively speaking) thoughts and beliefs that will permeate the mindset of people. Political assassinations may take place, as people looking to foster change, but who are working out of anger and fear, may feel it necessary to make an urgent and dramatic statement. Another caution to be heeded is that we individually and collectively guard against all forms of self-indulgent and over-indulgent behaviors. Excesses in all aspects and areas of life must be tempered for the good of all. One of the major and overarching conditions of the number 5 is BALANCE. It is of the utmost importance, that everyone seeks, and discovers, their own personal middle ground. One must understand, and take responsibility for their actions while giving thought to the effect their actions may have on the overall picture. If a positive outlook and belief system can take root, we will all get to experience a better life and existence. In many ways, this will be a time of rebirth...rebirth of balance, harmony, joy, compassion, consideration and love. Collectively we must look to create balance and progress while incorporating changes that are most definitely for the greater good. To quote the late, great Sam Cooke, “...change is gonna come” a concept reinforced by Bob Dylan when he sang, “...the time's they are a-changing”. Do your part to bring about and foster change in your homes, communities, governments and, nations. Most importantly, do what you can to bring about change in your personal lives that can assist in creating the necessary changes and energy that will ripple out and affect the common and, more importantly, the greater good. It is this author's prayer that you gain the understanding and insight necessary so you can do your part and participate in these changes, and that you may get to enjoy that which lies before you.

2020 is the 4th year in the current Universal nine-year cycle which began in 2017. As with all years, there are positive and negative aspects, and it is my belief, considering the current worldwide situation that once again, there may be extremes on both sides. Much will be determined by the actions and activities of the year that ends on December 31, 2019 (a THREE Universal year). The 20th Century brought us a series of 22/4 Universal Years from 1939-1993. These were years filled with vision, change, progress and, so many things that changed dynamics worldwide across the board. During the 22/4 Years we created and experienced a great many things that changed the world as we knew it. All the other 4 Universal Years in the 20th Century were 13/4s. A 13/4 Year carries with it a strong element of karma especially in the realm of changes and transitions, life and death, although not necessarily actual physical death, the passing of the old making way for the new. The choices that are made in a 13/4 Year can carry great influence on the world in which we live. After this brief series of 4 Universal Years that were 2002, 2011, and 2020 in 2029, the 4 Universal Years will once again be under the influence of the 13/4. We can anticipate during 2020 a trend that takes us back to the basics, with a focus on actually doing the work of truly building for the future. 2020 includes two zeroes. In my work, the 0, while not considered a number in Numerology, shows transition on the level of the preceding number. In this case, that number is 2 and it happens twice which will magnify and amplify the lessons that will appear. This year will provide an ongoing series of events and circumstances that will require co-operation of all sides in finding resolutions, solutions and, answers. This is a major year for growth on this level. We must all take the time to examine, study and, understand opposing points of view so that we may better work together on coming together, to work on what must be done. This year brings with it a need to define and, bring order to things.
On the positive side, 2020 can be a year of concrete action directed towards creating and building a more stable world for the future. Some of the stronger aspects of the FOUR represent structure, foundations, and organization. This year has potential to be a ground-breaking year in the re-creation of a world that accommodates and cares for everyone. When one considers the breakdown of systems and establishments in the preceding three years (beginning in 2017), it can be understood how these systems must be rebuilt, and how they must be reconstructed to benefit the many, and not the few. The seeds that were sown in 2017 will take on clearer form in the world. This should be a year of slow and careful building resulting in permanent and useful conditions that benefit the greater good and not just the few. The 4 demands organization and structure in the construction of a strong foundation for all things and all people. These demands come with a responsibility to enact things properly. The result of not acting responsibly and in an orderly fashion will be chaos.
2020 should see an increase in construction projects and in government projects related to infrastructure and commerce. If world leaders act in a manner that is beneficial to everyone, there can be a reversal of the recent trend of neglecting that which is important and serves the greater good. There may be a renewed interest and participation in farming, both on a large scale and in an increased interest in home gardens. The 4 Universal Year is a good year for farming. Perhaps will we see a turn-around in the ongoing crisis that is wreaking havoc on many portions of the agriculture and dairy farming segments of society. A portion of this interest will emanate from a greater desire by people to exercise thrift and economy in their personal lives. The FOUR vibration is also beneficial for the sectors concerning manufacturing and education. Another positive aspect of a FOUR Universal year is a greater desire toward tact and cooperation between people; citizenry and their governments; and, between countries on a global scale. There may be a challenge to traditions and recently accepted modes of behavior which can have great potential to re-establish the bond between governments and their citizens on a more cooperative and equitable level.
While it is true that the American economy is doing well, it is not really doing well for everyone. Being as top-heavy as it currently is, we must be aware of the events of 1929, the end of the Roaring 20s (a 3 Universal Year) and be cautious that we do not experience a similar type of downturn brought about by the behavior of the very wealthy and governments that cater to them at the expense of the general population. Even if it isn't as dramatic, it could still create greater societal problems than we currently have. With that in mind, it is also a possibility that there may develop a shortage of liquidity in business, government, and on a personal level. This would be a direct result of the excesses of the “good times” and the failure of individuals, nations and corporate entities to realize the errors of their ways. We have seen this first-hand with corporations that benefited from great tax cuts taking the money saved and not turning around and using it to build business. Rather, they have taken that money and pocketed it. Great for the stockholders...not so great for the overall health of the economy. Just as Icarus flew too close to the sun and crashed back to earth, so may the economy find that it too “flew too high only to fall hard, back to reality”. Hard times may become a reality for many. If too many people feel as though they are increasingly being marginalized, we may see protests of a large scale. In many ways, this is the case in numerous countries around the world.
Special attention must be paid to the negative aspects of the FOUR vibration of 2020, as much of this will be determined by how current situations are handled by those in power. The negative 4 is the antithesis to form, function, organization and, discipline. 2020 may see a rise in violence and violent confrontations around the world in a broad spectrum of countries. This rise may be in the form of civil disobedience and/or wars. Accompanying these events may be the fall of governments as the level and intensity of protests grow increasingly more strident. How governments and power entities react to people raising their voices will have a great effect on the behavior of those people. Dissension, and a move away from conventional behavior(s) may be the result of people's dissatisfaction with their leaders. On the most extreme level, reactions by leaders and governments could range from crackdowns, police and/or military actions, and even martial law being established. The 4 represents restrictions, confinement, obstacles and prison. Societies may exercise a greater level of offensive behavior and dissension may be expressed. Were situations to escalate, people may be surprised at the level of reaction that is exercised on both sides. Other things to be mindful of are a continuation of the ongoing series of natural disasters that are plaguing every corner of the planet. Over the past years we have certainly seen an ever-increasing number of events that seem to be growing in number and intensity on a weekly basis.
As with all vibrations in Numerology (and all situations in life), choices must be made on an individual and collective level. The negative aspects of 2020 should be impetus enough for people to work towards making this a better world in which to live. The world is changing. As can be seen by the events and situations yearly since 2008 (a ONE Universal year), nothing is immune to changes and transformations. You, the individual, must work toward bettering your personal existence and by doing that, you can help to change the collective. Be aware of your behavior, beliefs, and mind-set and pay attention to that which is going on in the world around you. Take part in making your voice heard in creating fairness and equity for all. It is imperative that we hold our leaders accountable and, failing that, they should be removed from office.
Happy New Year!
