Select 2024 Astrological and Numerological Highlights

Hermes Trismegistus, the author named in the text of the enigmatic Emerald Tablet, said, “That which is below is like that which is above and that which is above is like that is below.”

According to the Hermetic tradition, occult sciences such as astrology and numerology symbolize events and circumstances in your life. Notice the quote above states “. . . is like . . .” instead of “makes happen.” The microcosm reflects the macrocosm, and the macrocosm reflects the microcosm.

The ancient adepts believed human beings are intimately connected to the universe. You have a choice to learn about the energy flow of the universe and move with it, or fight against the currents of life.

One of the best ways to move with the currents of life, to know and capitalize on your personal timing, is through personalized comprehensive astrology and numerology.

If you aren’t ready for an in-depth strategy, learning about universal occurrences such as the Universal Year (e.g., 2024 = 2+0+2+4=8), eclipses, and retrogrades can still be helpful.

Two Universal and Personal Numerological Cycles

See this blog post and this article for information about the Universal Year. Scroll down within this article to get an idea about the balanced, over-balanced, and under-balanced form of each of the root numbers 1-9, which can give you a little insight about each Universal Year and your Personal Year. The Universal Year is intimately connected to the Personal Year, which is more relevant to you, personally, than the Universal Year. The second linked article above also features information about the Personal Year and how to calculate it.

To take it a step further, simply add the Universal Year or Personal Year to the current calendar month to get the Universal Month or Personal Month. For example, since the Universal Year in 2024 is 8 (2024 = 2+0+2+4=8), in January the Universal Month is 9. Since January is the first month of the year simply add January (1) plus 2024 (8) which equals 9. The Personal Month is derived the same way. If you’re in a 4 Personal Year in 2024, you’re in a 5 Personal Month in January of 2024.

These four cycles are a good place to start with basic numerology. Although these cycles are only four of hundreds of timing cycles, they are easy to follow and symbolically strong enough that you will recognize their importance.

See this blog post for information about Mercury retrograde.

See this blog post for information about eclipses. See this blog post for additional information about eclipses.

Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn retrogrades traditionally are not as noticeable as Mercury retrogrades. As always, any single universal celestial phenomenon symbolically affects you in a unique way, as it relates to your personal astrological patterns. A particular retrograde or eclipse may represent big life changes for one person, and almost nothing for another person.

This blog post includes information about multiple, basic astrological factors, including Mercury retrograde, Venus retrograde, Mars retrograde, and more.

Although the aforementioned celestial and numerological happenings are only a small part of all universal and natal indicators, tracking these cycles and events, especially in conjunction with your natal factors and patterns, can help you limit your risk and save time and money.
