That’s what my friend numerologist Nancy E. Wood calls the 2000’s. In numerology, 1 is the number of the Masculine, and 2 is the number of the Feminine… so 1492, 1776, 1953 — all denote by their first number that they belong to the Millennium of the Masculine. But since 1999, with 2000, 2009, 2012 — the years are launched by the Feminine signature. Numbers denote energies. Nancy describes the masculine as a singular energy: it tends to express just what it is, with a more self-oriented focus. But the Feminine is a dual energy, both self and other. Women’s work has always been full of perception shifting—from taking care of the children, to stirring the soup, to listening for the saber-toothed tiger, while men were single-focused, tracking that night’s dinner. The Millennium of the Feminine will shift our approach away from single-minded pursuit of individual goals into more of a balancing act, into awareness of the shifting web of the whole. That’s why Nancy encourages her students to veer away from the “battle of the sexes.” Instead she feels we should forgive, support, encourage, nurture and teach our men to be open to and honor their own Feminine — to learn from women how to allow their feelings their rightful place. I agree.
wonderful site. thank you, Dana!
Dana, I love this post! My work with with and reverence to Our Lady of Guadalupe in our Era Nueva – the New Era, the Millennium of the Feminine – totally supports this cosmic view. Thanks for posting and for maintaining this wonderful website. Blessings and peace.
Cynthia: Good to hear from you about Our Lady of Guadalupe. She lives in my heart and in the hearts of my son and my daughter and one of my nephews. We have Octavio Paz’ “The Labyrinth of Solitude.” We have her in her little niche, the crescent moon at her feet, and wearing her blue robe of stars. She appears to the Nuhuatl peasant, Juan Diego, who is on his way to Mexico City to seek last rites for his ailing uncle. She asks him to climb the higher Mountain where he will find roses blooming in mid-December. This is only a part of her story. She is the protector of the poor and the orphaned and so much more. When we close her little box at night, the doors are made of stars lighting up the night until morning when we open up to her again, the crescent moon at her feet, and we receive her blessings at the beginning of our day. And throughout our day.
