Here’s a little history and broader framework with which to understand things today. The number “1” influenced the millennium from 1000 – 1999. 1 represents masculine energy: the desire to be numero uno. During those years, people believed there was 1 “out-there” who had the answers. Usually male, it was the king, the president, the pope, the tribal chief…and lots of slaves, serfs, the downtrodden below. However in 1999, that millennia ended and that cycle completed.
With the year 2000, the world progressed into the influence of “2” and at that time, we all flowed into a new and unfamiliar place. It began new game — with new rules.
With the year 2001 the unfolding of the plan for the Divine Feminine and the Divine Masculine to come into balance began. Since we are now only 2010, there are 990 years left in which to accomplish this. So while 1 was about “me”, and “my way” being the right/and only way we are in the beginning days of learning “us” “we” “our way – collectively. “2” represents the feminine. Its symbol is the moon. Its goal is peace, harmony, cooperation and community. Rather than a mental concept – its about things that cannot be put into words: energies, symbols, feelings. 2 is teaching us patience, timing and how to flow with life. Whereas “1” said “I think”, “2” says I feel, I sense and intuit. Women are now in roles never previously open to them and that will continue. Few among us presently believe anyone knows everything…certainly not any state or religious leader. We are coming to understand what each of us thinks is valuable. People are recognizing the importance of the “grassroots.” The need for community cooperation is daily becoming more obvious. While many people in positions of power (most of them men) are still holding on to the old ways…thinking might is right…for many others, ways to accomplishing peace are becoming more of a priority.

Whether in trying to understand yourself, those around you, or the world today, the ancient study of Numerology (updated for modern times) has much to offer.
