Is there a way to predict what may occur in 2014?<\/p>\n

As the systems of our world crumble around us, many people are eagerly looking to 2014 for more positive outlooks in everything from the economy and job market to personal finances, health, and careers.\u00a0 Is there a way to glimpse into what the future holds?<\/p>\n

Perhaps the way to decode what lies ahead is in the numbers, 2014.\u00a0 Using numerology, a system based on ancient codes found in numbers and letters, renowned master esoteric numerologer Elizabeth Summers says that 2014 will be a year of \u201cgreat introspection\u201d at all levels.\u00a0 Her prediction is based on 2014 being a \u201cNumber Seven\u201d year (2+0+1+4=7).\u00a0\u00a0 Summers notes that the number seven is associated with introspection, and that 2014 will \u201cbe a bit difficult to grapple with, as it is like holding a cloud in one\u2019s hands.\u201d<\/p>\n

Summers works by combining two ancient systems, the Pythagorean or Western Numerology and the Chaldean system.\u00a0 Within each of these systems, each number or letter contains specific energy,<\/a> like a specific communicated code, \u201csort of like DNA in our bodies\u201d says Summers.<\/p>\n

The Pythagorean system<\/a> uses numbers 1 through 9 and is based on the philosopher and mathematician Pythagoras\u2019 belief that \u201cThe world is built upon the power of numbers.\u201d Numerology itself is based upon the broader concept that the entire universe is composed of mathematical patterns, and all things can be expressed as numbers which correspond to universal energies.<\/p>\n

The Chaldean system<\/a> is older than the Pythagorean system, but is less popular because it\u2019s not as easy to use or master.\u00a0 This system was developed by the Chaldeans who once occupied the southern portion of Babylonia.\u00a0 The Chaldeans were known for their contributions to astronomy, mathematics, and the sciences.\u00a0 \u00a0The Chaldean system uses the numbers 1 through 8 as opposed to the Pythagorean system, which uses 1 through 9.<\/p>\n

Using both of these systems, Summers says she is able to view the bigger picture for 2014 as well as what 2014 holds for each of us as individuals.\u00a0 The Chaldean system \u201csplits an individual\u2019s influences and spiritual aspects into two areas, the inner self and the outer self\u201d while the Pythagorean system \u201cprovides more human and psychological information.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a consequence, all things, including names, words, birth dates and birthplaces, are able to be reduced to numbers in order to determine personalities, destinies, and fortunes,\u201d says Summers.\u00a0 And while numbers cannot cause certain characteristics or particular things to happen or not, there does appear to be \u201csome hidden connection between all things, which Carl Jung called synchronicity.\u201d<\/p>\n

Because of the \u201cunusual energy of 2014\u201d and the need for introspection, Summers says we will need to pay close attention to certain key words throughout the year, including \u201cchoice, discernment, silence, spirituality, and ethics,\u201d using them as guideposts.\u00a0 They will play an important role not only in government and big business, but in our daily lives as well.<\/p>\n

Summers believes the \u201cpressures of everyday life will bring forth a desire to get away from it all and the best place for that will be nature.\u201d\u00a0 As a result, environmental protection will become a more popular issue once again.\u00a0 This change in sentiment is already being witnessed in the outpouring of concerns over such issues as hydraulic fracturing, aka, fracking.\u00a0 But with a \u201creturn to nature,\u201d Summers cautions, there is also a possible downside.<\/p>\n

The call for contemplation may cause many people to withdraw, thus causing personal relationships to suffer.\u00a0 According to Summers, the divorce rate may increase in 2014, as couples may find themselves wanting to spend more time alone with less in common, withdrawing emotionally and sexually.<\/p>\n

On a brighter note, Summers sees a continuing movement towards more holistic approaches to health and well-being.\u00a0 This movement will place more emphasis on eating healthier organic foods, as the number seven has \u201ca strong instinct for purity of health through foods.\u201d<\/p>\n

One of the more important aspects of what\u2019s to come in 2014 involves the issue of discernment.\u00a0 \u201cMore will be revealed as to the ethics (or lack thereof) of our elected officials,\u201d says Summers.\u00a0 She believes there will be a concerted effort to remove those who have betrayed the public\u2019s trust, and that \u201cthe populace will begin to understand that they should no longer give their power away to others.\u201d<\/p>\n

Given 2014 will be a year of introspection and \u201cpersonal regrouping,\u201d learning to trust and accept your own inner guidance will be essential.\u00a0 Shakespeare\u2019s \u201cTo thine own self be true\u201d will ring true throughout 2014.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
