Gematria

My latest discovery is Gematria which is a form of numerology in which the letters of the Hebrew alphabet are substituted with corresponding numbers. The first ten letters are given number values that increase consecutively from 1 to 10. The next eight letters are given number values that increase by a factor of ten from 20 to 90.

When using this system, it is believed by some that you can glean new, underlying meanings from words... and there can be many meanings. Using the Gematria calculator and typing in the words "I Love You", you get the following top meanings:

How much is I love you in Gematria ?

You can see how some meanings are a little weird! Or maybe that was part of Apple's marketing plan to begin with!

ARIES   (MARCH 21 - APRIL 20)

Is your career giving you everything you need, Aries? If not, this could be a great time to plan on a dramatic shift or take some decisive action. The path that you now see unfolding before you may not be the one you initially envisioned. So take stock of where you are and where you eventually want to be and make some adjustments.

TAURUS (APRIL 21-MAY 21)

Even the most adventuresome of Taureans should take a careful look at where their travels will take them over the span of the next few months. Your desire to get back to normal is admirable. See that you can achieve the freedom and normalcy that you expect and deserve. Survey your landscape and make tweaks in your direction.

GEMINI   (MAY 22 - JUNE 21)

Love interests and friendships may hit a roadblock over the next weeks, Gemini. It may be that someone who is more of a friend wants to take the relationship to a closer level. Or it may be that your social group is not as supportive of your chosen love interest as you would like. Figure out the happy balance between the two factions. It can be done.

CANCER   (JUNE 22 - JULY 23)

Cancers who want to concentrate on their career will have to find the perfect (or as perfect as possible) life balance so that your significant other is feeling included. For those seeking greater connection, a decision will have to be made concerning the amount of time you are spending working versus the amount of time you spend nurturing.

LEO   (JULY 24 - AUGUST 23)

As much as you would love to escape and expand your horizons, there will be more nitpicky tasks that will have to be dispatched first. Don’t let projects pile up and bury you, Leo. Find innovative ways to either get them done or delegate them to others. Freeing up your mind will feel refreshing and energizing. Then get going!

VIRGO   (AUGUST 24 - SEPTEMBER 23)

Love, lust, flirtation and romance create an intoxicating brew for you, Virgo. And that is why I suggest you take a step back in certain circumstances and see if who you are with is who you really want to be with. You can fall for a charming line but try to be discerning and practical. The love you find or cement today should last and last.

LIBRA   (SEPTEMBER 24 - OCTOBER 23)

Your home environment may be due for a shake up or reappraisal, Libra. Are you where you really want to be? Are your surroundings and relationships fitting in with your long term plans? If the answer is yes, go with the flow. If the answer is no, find ways of tailoring or totally changing them to suit your needs for the future.

SCORPIO   (OCTOBER 24 - NOVEMBER 22)

Strategic communication is pivotal for you, Scorpio. Whatever is on your mind, carefully share it, especially with co-workers. This can help modify the overall landscape so that things are moving more fluidly and you and others are generally happier with the results. Putting in the effort now can produce wonderful results later.

SAGITTARIUS   (NOVEMBER 23 - DECEMBER 22)

As much as you love to do things in a dramatic and memorable fashion, there may be times when you have to be more cognizant of the financial cost. You are filled with fun and creative ideas that just need to be fully expressed but how big is big? Have your jolly fun, Sagittarius, but also be mindful of your long term finances.

CAPRICORN   (DECEMBER 23 - JANUARY 20)

You are feeling bold and beautiful, Capricorn, and can impress anyone and everyone you want. Will your grand plans be helpful or place more stress on your home life? The trick this week is to take a full measure of what you want to achieve and how that will impact your family. Decide on how you can make everyone happy.

AQUARIUS   (JANUARY 21 - FEBRUARY 19)

Aquarians may be tempted to share a secret or two but please hold off. It is advisable to keep your own counsel for the time being and allow yourself some time to consider what you must reveal and what you can still hold close. There will be time to strategically navigate the foggy landscape. For now your need to control the narrative is important.

PISCES   (FEBRUARY 20 - MARCH 20)

Certain friends are in great need now. They may ask you to help them out financially. How you help them is your own decision, Pisces. You may decide that you need more time to think or you may jump in with help immediately. Consider how you can be the best friend you can. Sometimes that means a yes answer and sometimes a no.

Lottery ads tell us you only need a dollar and a dream. But it is also helpful to have a list of lucky numbers to help spur the good fortune ... or fortunes.

A Tarot Testimonial

I am a big believer in the ability of tarot to help clear our minds of any static and focus on the issue at hand. This article in Salon magazine highlights all of the benefits of tarot in building clarity and even creating a stronger communication between people.

Tarot helped me take advice from my mother

Our relationship hasn't always been easy. For a long time, tarot was one more thing I didn't understand about her

By Meryl Phair

My mom deals out the next three months of my life from a stack of blue cards. She flips over the line of cards one by one revealing five of cups, ace of cups, eight of wands, the Emperor, two of cups, the World upside down, and three of pentacles upside down. She examines the cards, pausing on the upside-down World. Her fingers trace the wreathed oval. She picks it up. "That's what you have to know about the cards," she said. "If it's upside down it doesn't necessarily mean it's negative." 

My relationship with my mom hasn't always been easy. For the longest time, tarot was one more thing I thought I would never understand about her. Tarot is a mystical guiding system that has been used throughout history for fortune telling. The cards first emerged in Europe in the 15th century and were used simply for card games. The use of tarot cards in divination came into usage during the 1700s and have since been connected to the occult and mysticism around the world. Recently, tarot and astrology have become popular with millennials, along with other New Age spiritual practices.

When my mother first got into tarot, I kept my distance. I believed there was no realistic explanation for predicting someone's life through a deck of cards. Then one day, during the pandemic, driven half out of boredom and half out of the certainty nothing could be weirder than what we were already living through, I asked my mom to give me a reading. It was startlingly accurate. Over the course of the next year and a half, I asked her for readings on a regular basis. She predicted the outcome of various periods of time in my life and gave me advice based on her readings, which were not only accurate but insightful.

In a tarot reading, the participant asks a question, and the reader will flip over a series of cards, interpreting an answer based on each card's meaning. Usually, I ask for a three-month overview of what is in store for me. My mom examines the cards, pointing out their meanings as she works to build the overarching message in response. After reading the cards and evaluating the relationships they have with each other, she fits the message into the context of my life.
