Week Sixteen was absolutely a week of personal Tower moments, in both aggravating and much-needed ways. After admitting to you that I’ve been having a hard time taking my own advice, I stayed much more in touch with my own words during the week, and they were uncannily on point and helpful. I hope they served you, too!

One of the swift crumblings of this past week was wholly unexpected, and yet also something that’s been in the plans for a while: this newsletter is going to be making a move to Beehiiv very soon! I am doing my best to move with intention and care, and to also usher in some changes when it comes to topical and philosophical pillars of creation, financial options for tiers of subscriptions, and even the retiring of the name swimming in the soup…

It’s that last one that really caught me by surprise this week, but when I pulled cards around this decision, both The Magician (1) and The Wheel (10) were on the table, so it feels like the right move! After all, everything we do in 2026 is influenced by the energy of our collective yearly numbers: ten and one (2+0+2+6 = 10, 1+0 = 1).

Week #17: April 27-May 3, 2026

There was a moment last week where we were halfway through the week, as well as halfway through the month of April, so I reread both Week #15: April 13-19, 2026 and April’s Notable Numerology just to see if I was even remotely taking my own practical advice?

It turns out, Sweet Swimmer, I was not.

But that is okay! Every moment is a new opportunity to reorient. To gain awareness and perspective, and to recommit to living out a whole life of endless cycles and lessons.

We’re practicing our inner monologue of aspirations this month, remember?

This is the last full week of the month. After this week, we will be in a new zodiacal season and inching ever closer to May. If there’s any part of April’s themes of positive affirmations, being in process, and avoiding self-sabotage you want to put into action, now is the time. Next month offers different invitations.

Don’t forget that everything is influenced by the energy of our collective yearly numbers: ten and one (2+0+2+6 = 10, 1+0 = 1).

Thank you so much to everyone who reached out with kind words about An Apollonian Update for a One Year, in which I shared about my spiritship with the Greek god Apollo, his collective invitations for a One Year, and letting in some life energy this spring!

I’m also so happy to know that our latest Coven Convo: Witchcraft & Writing Fiction is also providing ideas and inspirations! It was a chat and I had been looking forward to having for a while now, but the decision to read cards for each other’s projects was a spontaneous suggestion made by Jeanna! It turned out to be the perfect way to wrap up our conversation, and to put some of it into practice, too.

There are more essays on the horizon on both Apollo and using numerology in creative projects (the latter of which will be a long-promised deep dive for my paid pals, answering a reader question), so stay tuned and know thyself.

Yes, know thyself—our main directive in 2026, when every single week is influenced by the energy of our collective yearly numbers: ten and one (2+0+2+6 = 10, 1+0 = 1).

Week #14: April 6-12, 2026

The fourteenth week of a ten/one year (14+10 = 24, 2+4 = 6) wants you to connect with whatever you find beautiful.

April is NaPoWriMo (National Poetry Writing Month) and The Soup™ Discord Server has a dedicated thread where folks are sharing the most gorgeous creations, as well as their beautiful book stacks. Obviously we’d love to see you there (link to join below), but you can also follow:

• Milo @/moondadpoems on tumblr

• Hannah on on Substack

• and Jen @/filamentia on tumblr

The fourteenth week of a ten/one year wants you to connect with whatever you find grotesque.

Poetry feels like a space where we can explore all kinds of stories and styles. Punctuation and placement becomes a tool of more specific expression. The tender, the visceral, the horrifying, the difficult, the very essences of experience—they all get to live within the truncated lines of a poem. And yes, songs and scripture count!

I’d like for us to celebrate Week #14 and NaPoWriMo together by reading Strawberry Moon by Mary Oliver, who is also hosting our year ahead forecasts.

(Do read aloud. Don’t skip this!)

STRAWBERRY MOON

1. My great-aunt Elizabeth Fortune
stood under the honey locust trees,
the white moon over her and a young man near.
The blossoms fell down like white feathers,
the grass was warm as a bed, and the young man
full of promises, and the face of the moon
a white fire.

Later,
when the young man went away and came back with a
bride,
Elizabeth
climbed into the attic.

2.
Three women came in the night
to wash the blood away,
and burn the sheets,
and take away the child.

Was it a boy or girl?
No one remembers.

3.
Elizabeth Fortune was not seen again
for forty years.

Meals were sent up,
laundry exchanged.

It was considered a solution
more proper than shame
showing itself to the village.

4.
Finally, name by name, the downstairs died
or moved away,
and she had to come down,
so she did.

At sixty-one, she took in boarders,

washed their dishes,
made their beds,
spoke whatever had to be spoken,
and no more.

5.
I asked my mother:
what happened to the man? She answered:
Nothing.
They had three children.
He worked in the boatyard.

I asked my mother: did they ever meet again?
No, she said,
though sometimes he would come
to the house to visit.
Elizabeth, of course, stayed upstairs.

6.
Now the women are gathering
in smoke-filled rooms,
rough as politicians,
scrappy as club fighters.
And should anyone be surprised

if sometimes, when the white moon rises,
women want to lash out
with a cutting edge?

April 6-12 for Your Yearly Cycle

The below selections were all divined from Devotions: The Selected Poems of Mary Oliver. May it be a balm from a different kind of Bible.

To find your yearly cycle number, add the digits of your month and day of birth to 2026, and reduce until you reach a single digit. For example, the calculation for my birthday of July 7 looks like: 7+7+2+0+2+6 = 24, 2+4 = 6.

Please note that I reduce doubled digit numbers like 11 and 22 to their root numbers when working with yearly cycles, so please calculate and read accordingly.

Read for your Yearly Cycle, but also check out your prominent chart placements, like Life Path and Public Persona, as well for the collective 1-year.

1

From “Six Recognitions of the Lord” —

5.
Oh, feed me this day, Holy Spirit, with
the fragrance of the fields and the
freshness of the oceans which you have
made, and help me to hear and to hold
in all dearness those exacting and wonderful
words of our Lord Jesus Christ, saying:
Follow me.

2

From “It Was Early” —

It was early,
which has always been my hour
to begin looking
at the world

and of course,
even in the darkness,
to begin
listening into it,

especially
under the pines
where the owl lives
and sometimes calls out

as I walk by,
as he did
on this morning.
So many gifts!

3

From “Poem” —

The spirit
likes to dress up like this:
ten fingers,
ten toes,

shoulders, and all the rest
at night
in the black branches,
in the morning

in the blue branches
of the world.

4

From “Mindful” —

It was what I was born for -
to look, to listen,

to lose myself
inside this soft world -
to instruct myself
over and over

in joy,
and acclamation.

5

“We Shake With Joy” —

We shake with joy, we shake with grief.
What a time they have, these two
housed as they are in the same body.

6

From “Have You Ever Tried to Enter the Long Black Branches” —

And I would touch the faces of the daises,
and I would bow down
to think about it.

That was then, which hasn’t ended yet.

7

From “With the Blackest of Inks” —

Because, Sir,
You have given him,
For your own reasons,

Everything that he needs:
Leaves, food, shelter;
A conscience that never blinks.

8

From “Little Owl Who Lives in the Orchard” —

Never mind that he is only a memo
from the offices of fear -

it’s not size but surge that tells us
when we’re in touch with something real,

9

“The Poet Compares Human Nature to the Ocean From Which We Came” —

The sea can do craziness, it can do smooth,
it can lie down like silk breathing
or toss havoc shoreward; it can give

gifts or withhold all; it can rise, ebb, froth
like an incoming frenzy of fountains, or it can
sweet-talk entirely. As I can too,

and so, no doubt, can you, and you.

Year over year, I’m quite literally a walking miracle!

Yet, I’ve been finding it hard to reconcile parts of my resurrection.

Happy Easter to me?

In the last six months of personal psychotherapy, I’ve been doing intense work via EMDR to heal my relationship with my body, after it was ravaged and rendered disabled by disease, cut open almost a dozen times, and then, thankfully, cured by poison. I wrote about some of previous experiences with this particular therapeutic technique—which is incredibly effective for processing complex trauma—in On Sacrificing Ourselves on the Altar of Dignity (fyi, this is also an evergreen read about the importance of creativity in times of strife), saying:

[T]he process of EMDR mirrors that of the REM portion of the sleep cycle, where the parts of the brain that are responsible for thinking and feeling are able to communicate with the parts of the brain that are necessary for survival. By creating a waking space for these bits of the brain to talk to one another, we can recover whatever is trapped in the survival brain, and allow it to be processed and released by the thinking and feeling brain.

When I tuned in to my body, and asked what it would need to heal, what came up right away was a feeling of spiritual betrayal.

I am a spiritual person. I trust the unknown, and I work hard to keep my relationship to The Mystery active and healthy and loving. And for a while now, I’ve been experiencing a spiritual schism while trying to maintain my center as a spiritual person.

See, throughout the last few years of medical mystery and deep disease, I cultivated and nurtured deep relationships with spirits and creatures of the natural world, as well as turned to divination and witchcraft in order to survive. I built altars and gave offerings to Hecate, had spider experiences with Loki, fostered a relationship with the crows in my neighborhood, invited multiple ancestors into my daily practice, and read Pema Chodron, Ram Dass, and the Tibetan Book of the Dead.

In many ways, I was ready for the moment when an ER doctor (correctly) told me a midnight MRI looked like some kind of cancer had metastasized to my spine. “The worst things happen to the best people.” He shook his head. “Try to find the shimmer in your days.” And for thirty-six days in the hospital and three months between being sent home and finally receiving a diagnosis, no one contradicted him.

I trusted the path and prepared to die.

This experience offered some truly stunning opportunities for clarity that I am genuinely, no bullshit, no toxic positivity, grateful for. It was a chance to truly take stock of my life thus far, as a full story from beginning to end, and to experience a pleasant and surprising satisfaction. If that was all I was going to get, it’s been enough. I don’t know much, but I do know what that particular blend of freedom tastes like, and it’s pretty tasty, all things considered.

I also planted seeds of a new and continuing life. Book beginnings and grad school applications and SMUT CLUB meetings. Just in case!

I lived long enough to tell the tale.

I wrote one hundred new pages. I got into grad school and started a master’s program. SMUT CLUB just celebrated its first birthday!

But spiritually?

Somewhere along the way, I began tending to the flame of a sacred rage over what I had been put through, what I had surrendered to, and what I had grinned and bear-ed and processed and survived.

Somewhere along the way, and despite my new lease on life, my faith quieted, and my connections atrophied.

Somewhere along the way, a pervasive feeling of spiritual betrayal set in.

A few weeks back, on the equinox, I had a light-bulb moment!

Of course I was feeling disconnected, abandoned and left behind. The relationships and practices that had gotten me through my near-Death experience had run their course because I was now living in a new story! Spirit relationships are often more transactional, more purpose-driven, than human relationships. They’re for a reason and a season. And they don’t owe us closure, and they don’t even promise to say goodbye when they leave!

My problem wasn’t that I was disconnected, or alone in the wilderness, or even left to figure out recovery and next steps by myself. My problem was that I was still courting Death spirits when I need to be getting to know the spirits of Life.

Enter the Greek God Apollo.

Apollo is the Greek god of healing, divination, and the creative arts. He is the representative and representation of light and the Sun. He is the lover of all nine muses. His twin is Artemis, goddess of nature and the hunt. Apollo rules over wisdom, knowledge, and spiritual enlightenment. He rides a chariot, sure, but he’s hardly a bad boy. In fact, he is the ideal of Grecian society and culture.

Despite his ancient status, he is very much a figure of the zeitgeist! We even have a word to describe things that are like him:

Apollonian
/ ˌapəˈləʊnɪən /

adjective

• relating to the god Apollo.

• relating to the rational, ordered, and self-disciplined aspects of human nature. Compare with Dionysiac.

Once I said hello to Apollo, I quickly realized we’ve been in conversation for most of my life! And it made total sense to me why he would step forward as one of two spirits (the second being the muse of comedy and light verse, Thalia) to teach me about Life during a personal 6/Lovers year.

But enough about me!

What does Apollo have to offer all of us in this One Collective Year?

First, he’s connecting us to our collective sense of unity, awe, and raising our eyes to the sky through his involvement in a historic moment in space exploration. The missions that first brought men to the moon were all named after Apollo, and just last week, NASA launched the next spacecraft headed to the (dark side of) the moon, named for his twin, Artemis.

Second is the synchronicity that pinged me while learning about Apollo from George Lizos, author of Secrets of Greek Mysticism, who was on the SITS podcast two years ago. George teaches about the Delphic maxims—the keys to fully receiving Apollo’s light and wisdom—which were publicly inscribed on a column in the forecourt of Apollo’s temple in Delphi for everyone to see.

The Delphic Maxims are:

1. Know Thyself

2. Nothing in excess

3. Surety brings ruin

At the beginning of the year, I wrote “One Idea for a One Collective Year.” My one piece of advice? Know thyself. Why? So we can be our truest selves, so that we may exist more fully in community, and the evolving world at-large. Now it looks like we’re being asked to add two more aphorisms to the list.

(I even wrote about our Artemises, our twins! — “Being ourselves can be a lonely path… But it doesn’t stay a lonely path, and in fact, the relationships you build along the way will be more satisfying because they are meeting the you that you are molding.”)

It seems as if Apollo is speaking to all of us this year. Bringing us into the Sun. Reminding us of our light. Offering his when we cannot connect to ours. Telling us to continue to court the core of our very being, as well as the shifts in our shape. Aligning us with our muses. Teaching us how to sing and dance. Reminding us to stay flexible and to keep it simple, sweetheart. Whispering wisdom of blessed ignorance, open-mindedness, and new ideas.

If you haven’t already, open up a window, light a candle, and welcome in some sunny, springtime energy. Say hello to Apollo, and ask him to bring you into deeper relationship with your Self, as well as Life itself. Be here now.

Are you listening? Can you feel the light?

Until next time, just keep swimming!

In Call Your Coven’s latest episode, “April 2026: Acting Aspirationally,” I share about pulling Temperance (the 14th card of the Major Arcana), from Moonlight’s Internet Lore Tarot, for someone in The Soup Discord server. This particular Temperance says I am finally rested. Last month, in March, we talked about getting good at what you practice, and I don’t know about you, but I practice saying, “I am so tired,” more than I say, “I am finally rested.”

14/5 is generative. It’s art and creation and divine intervention. It’s that sought-after flow state, that blissful merger with everything that swirls and twirls and feels like Heaven on Earth. That said, April of 2026 has both sturdy 4 energy and frazzled 5 energy, so we are being asked to stay the course. Everything is a process, everything is building. 14/5 energy wants us to embrace the moments of stagnancy or pause that are promised, and not necessarily indicative of not making progress.

So we’re not ruining our chances or rushing ourselves in April, but we are practicing slightly more positive or more encouraging versions of our mantras…

To hear the rest of the forecast, listen on Spotify or Apple, or watch on YouTube:

Notable Numerology in April

Full Moon in Libra

• 04/01/2026

• 4+1+2+0+2+6 = 15/6

A fool moon for the lovers, the dreamers, and me/you/us, this lunation is lush and ripe and full of light. May its alignment with the first night of Passover, which tells the story of a people breaking away from bondage, remind you that freedom is not something that is given. It is fought for, taken, created, and claimed by those who desire it. That said, perhaps it is not freedom you are looking for, but rather love, acceptance, respect, belonging, and choice. Consider this tonight, and for as long as the moon is full. Repeat as needed.

Four Four (One)

• 04/04/2026

• 4+4+2+0+2+6 = 18/9

How prepared are you to receive what it is that you want? The saying does go, Leap and the net will appear. But sometimes, you have to knit the net yourself! Today is a good day to check your physical and energetic containers for leaks. If you find holes, perhaps they can still be patched. If they need to be replaced altogether, start putting together a practical plan. Today is not a good day for harsh criticisms and judgements. In moments of contraction, try box breathing.

New Moon in Aries

• 04/17/2026

• 4+1+7+2+0+2+6 = 22/4

May this dark night help you to sit in the mystery of your mastery. Sometimes, the practical and the phenomenal simply come together to make something special. You might not even need to know how the sausage gets made as long as you can keep creating it. Who are you to doubt your divine construction? While each new moon brings an opportunity to plant seeds of disembodied possibility, this one might be better used by setting an intention of embodied prevalence. Start by making a list of your most miraculous attributes. Then, read it to yourself until you can recite it from memory.

I didn’t journal necessarily, but I did a) join Letterboxd, and b) continue to follow threads from some recent spiritual and creative breakthroughs. Aries season is the first in the new zodiacal year, which aligns with our yearly cycle number this year, and I sure am feeling it. Thank goodness! After so long wandering in the desert, it’s been nice to feel like a forecast applies to me!

I’m hoping you’re feeling a burst of something fresh, too.

Starting off with some honesty: this quarter never truly gelled. It wasn’t just me who felt that way. Everyone I talked to said some version of this quarter doesn’t feel like last quarter, and while that might seem like an obvious statement—of course no two classes are alike and therefore various combinations will create a multiplicity of experiences—the shared sentiment was still somewhat sour.

I also struggled with my own mental health during the first ten weeks of the year, as I put one foot in front of the other to create a string of lived-in days that attempted to answer the question, How does one move on after nearly dying from cancer? So to occupy the clinician’s seat, and to learn about the diagnostic criteria and symptomatic presentation of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) while actively experiencing it myself, was a wacky journey of psychological splitting.

That said, I am proud of myself for quite literally staying the course, and for finishing another 4 classes, 30+ discussion board posts, 6 papers in APA style, 2 case conceptualizations, and countless hours spent reading, researching, thinking, reflecting, experiencing, integrating, and otherwise engaging with psychodynamic theories, the processes of both clinical assessment and ongoing psychotherapy, and field study opportunities that expanded my cultural knowledge and personal perspectives.

The breakdown of my classes, with my notes and takeaways, plus links to a few of my favorite readings or videos from my classes, will be for my paid pals under the cut (if you subscribe to read, thank you!!, and please consider doing it from a computer or browser—the iOS app eats all our money, honey!), but first, I want to share some insights into the role of the therapist, which might be affirming and/or surprising!

The Role of the Therapist, according to my Clinical Psychology program:

• Attend to subtle affective cues

• Track interpersonal patterns in real time

• Make empathic hypotheses about client meaning

• Use self-reflection and modulated, thoughtful self-disclosure

• Provide emotional attunement, not advice

Quarter Two

I have finished my second quarter of grad school! I am that meme of Nicole Kidman after divorcing Tom Cruise. (I know it’s been debunked, but you get it.) It feels like freedom. This quarter was bumpy, but okay. Good enough. I’ve been having a hard time writing outside of schoolwork, but I’m determined to put together a Learn Along before I forget all of the important details.

That also seems to be a theme for right now—reflecting on things in a real, tangible way that allows for more thorough integration—so if you’ve been considering some kind of practice that involves journaling, scrapbooking, commonplace-booking, keeping a planner, writing in your notes app, leaving yourself voice memos, or otherwise creating and maintaining an archive, this is your sign; you synchronicity. There are plenty of reasons why these kinds of record-keeping efforts seem hard and/or silly, but in the first year of a brand-new collective cycle, it’s especially important to be able to look back and see the path.

Give yourself the gift of a detailed map.

That’s right, every single week of 2026 will be influenced by the energy of our collective yearly numbers: ten and one (2+0+2+6 = 10, 1+0 = 1).

There are two days with notable numerology:

New Moon in Pisces

• 03/18/2026

• 3+1+8+2+0+2+6 = 22/4

Big Master Builder energy, which just got some neat attention in The Soup Discord server as one of our community members is studying Chaldean numerology and shared this teaching on 22/4: “This number is symbolized by a good man blinded by the folly of others with a knapsack on his back full of arrows. It is a warning number of illusion and delusion, a good person who lives in a fool’s paradise. It gives a tendency of doing the wrong things at the wrong times, which will give even more tears and annoyances.”” -Cheiro. What does this symbol—which another pal pointed out is also the plot of “The Lego Movie”—illuminate for you about the spiritual path? What seed could it help you plant in this fertile and free-from-eclipse-season lunation?

and

Spring Equinox + Mercury Direct

• 03/20/2026

• 3+2+0+2+0+2+6 = 15/6

This 15/6 energy feels quite ripe for a generative breakthrough. We’re casting off our proverbial bindings, removing ourselves from that which we no longer wish to be connected to, and running with the speed of the fire horse into greener pastures—literally. Welcome spring! Astrologer Aliza Kelly says, “Mercury [retrograde] wants you to refine your methods of communication, connection, and organization, so that you feel more empowered to express your authenticity and work towards your goals on a daily basis.” Check in with these areas of life today and see how things are feeling. If they’re not clear and concise and bringing you closer to your core, take one decisive action towards those goals today.

This year, every single week of 2026 will be also influenced by the energy of our collective yearly numbers: ten and one (2+0+2+6 = 10, 1+0 = 1).

This week, as a mini wheel spins, we’re revisiting some information and inquiries from the beginning of 2026, starting with the below, from Week #1: January 5-11, 2026:

Ten weeks from now will see us in mid-March, just before the spring equinox. For many, the spin of zodiacal wheel that begins with Aries season is another new year. What if we were to view the first ten weeks of this year as a real chunk of time to make some magic happen? What would you start? What could you complete? What kinds of goals are even realistic? What would a practical plan of action look like?

Perhaps you’d like to use these questions as journal prompts for reflection this week?

But if—like me—you’re still in the thick of this last week’s numero-astro weather, perhaps you’d like to just check in with the self that survived 3/3’s full moon eclipse, with this thought from March’s Notable Numerology:

In short, expect the unexpected. But a more nuanced take is to touch in with your senses of trust and timing. What might it feel like for you to look at this moment in time from a pragmatic perspective without bypassing big feelings or cyclical thoughts?

Again, maybe bust out your journal and actually try answering the question this week!

After all, this year, every single week of 2026 will be influenced by the energy of our collective yearly numbers: ten and one (2+0+2+6 = 10, 1+0 = 1).

Another thought to revisit from One Idea for a One Collective Year:

If this year is going to be different, if this cycle is going to move us collectively in a fresh direction, we must all be taking steps to be our truest selves so that we may exist more fully in community, and the evolving world at-large. The new world needs you—not in a recruitment way, but in a creative one.

Being ourselves can be a lonely path. We felt that last year in the Hermit year. But it doesn’t stay a lonely path, and in fact, the relationships you build along the way will be more satisfying because they are meeting the you that you are molding. If you fall into pessimism, practice hope. If self-serving behaviors threaten to overtake you, join forces with others doing the work. If you feel dreadfully misunderstood, open up to someone and let them in to your experience.

Every single one of us are re-meeting ourselves this year. There is tenderness there, as much as there is also a ferocity of spirit. May we love ourselves deeply and let that love ripple out into the collective consciousness.

Week #10: March 9-15, 2026

The tenth week of a ten/one year (10+10 = 20, 2+0 = 2) reminds us that we’re always retracing our steps.

This week also has a date with majorly notable numerology, so in case you missed "March's Notable Numerology," or you need a refresher, be sure to make note of:

Three Three (One) + Full Moon Total Lunar Eclipse in Virgo

• 3+3+2+0+2+6 = 16/7

Hello cosmic alignment of numerology and astrology and tarot, we love to see it! First, the repeating 3/3 cadence has us touching in with generous, reparative, loving 6 energy, as well as disruptive, opaque, surrendering, seven energy. Then, astrology has us basking under the totality and unpredictability of a full moon eclipse. Finally, the tarot has us touching in with the Tower, and all its faulty foundations and fiery fall. In short, expect the unexpected. But a more nuanced take is to touch in with your senses of trust and timing. What might it feel like for you to look at this moment in time from a pragmatic perspective without bypassing big feelings or cyclical thoughts?

In Call Your Coven’s latest episode, “March 2026: It is Time,” I share about the number thirteen and how it helps us to feel into the flow found when we tune to the rhythms of nature, and the resistance in remembering our innate power, even if it’s not assertive, constant or comfortable.

The title of the episode came through as I read about the numbers three and four, our monthly anchors, in “Number and Time: Reflections Leading toward a Unification of Depth Psychology and Physics” by Marie-Louise von Franz (and Carl Jung), which are connected to the concepts of time and fate, and also takes us over the Underworld threshold and into the light.

I love this quote, and think its applicable to us this month:

The psychological and spiritual attitude corresponding to the problem of three and four is depicted by Jung in terms of the progressive development of consciousness from a purely imaginary standpoint on the world to one in which the observer experiences himself as a participant on the level of a thinking and experiencing being.

So, it is time.

It’s no longer realistic to wonder what you would be doing if [fill in the blank].

You are doing it.

Whatever you practice is what you get good at.

March might ask you to get a little uncomfy in your —well, Jung would call it shadow work — but you can call it honesty and integration. 13/4 says no more! Hopelessness is attractive, but it’s even hotter to wake up every day and see what you can make with the time and tools you’ve been given.

To hear the rest of the forecast, listen on Spotify or Apple, or watch on YouTube:

Notable Numerology in March

Three Three (One) + Full Moon Total Lunar Eclipse in Virgo

• 03/03/2026

• 3+3+2+0+2+6 = 16/7

New Moon in Pisces

• 03/18/2026

• 3+1+8+2+0+2+6 = 22/4

Big Master Builder energy, which just got some neat attention in The Soup Discord server as one of our community members is studying Chaldean numerology and shared this teaching on 22/4: “This number is symbolized by a good man blinded by the folly of others with a knapsack on his back full of arrows. It is a warning number of illusion and delusion, a good person who lives in a fool’s paradise. It gives a tendency of doing the wrong things at the wrong times, which will give even more tears and annoyances.”” -Cheiro. What does this symbol—which another pal pointed out is also the plot of “The Lego Movie”—illuminate for you about the spiritual path? What seed could it help you plant in this fertile and free-from-eclipse-season lunation?

Spring Equinox + Mercury Direct

• 03/20/2026

• 3+2+0+2+0+2+6 = 15/6

This 15/6 energy feels quite ripe for a generative breakthrough.

Welcome spring! Astrologer Aliza Kelly says, “Mercury [retrograde] wants you to refine your methods of communication, connection, and organization, so that you feel more empowered to express your authenticity and work towards your goals on a daily basis.” Check in with these areas of life today and see how things are feeling.

☎️: Call Your Coven is all new with “March 2026: It Is Time” — What you’re doing in this moment is what you would be doing in a hypothetical. It’s time to lock in and be realistic, which means also using creativity and imagination to find new solutions.

THE FRIDAY FIVE 🖐️

Here’s what’s gotten me through this wacky week:

SURPRISE, I’M READING A LOT OF BOOKS RIGHT NOW SLASH ALWAYS.

A while back, I realized that the thematic gifts people picked out for overwhelmingly book-related. I have mugs, hats, tees and sweatshirts. Hell, I have personalized pants that say, “I’m just a girl who loves books!” And you know what? It’s true, I do.

From bottom to top:

1. Inside Out and Outside In: Psychodynamic clinical theory and psychopathology in contemporary multicultural contexts by Joan Berzoff, Laura Melano Flanagan and Patricia Hertz — This is the main textbook for my Personality I class (ICYMI, I’m a grad student now!), where we’ve learned about the theories of Freud and Jung, Erikson’s stages of psychosocial development, ego psychology, object relations theory, attachment styles, Kohut’s concepts of self-psychology, and more. We also just turned in a group presentation project, for which we were to pick a character from a television series or movie to explore through the lens of multiple psychodynamic theories! My group chose Nina Sayers from “Black Swan,” and I unpacked her insecure-disorganized attachment style.

2. The First Interview by James Morrison MD — I’m reading this book for my class on Assessment of Psychopathology, which is the first of many classes I’ll take on diagnosing mental health disorders. This book is written by a medical doctor, so I have found some of the language to be overly clinical, but knowing just how much there is to cover in the initial moments with a client - especially if in a clinic setting where the initial intake is the only time you’ll see someone - and having guidance on how to effectively communicate with patients, phrase clarifying questions, and create rapport while collecting vital information about their history, experience and outlook, has been so helpful.

3. Tarot and the Psychology of the Soul: Exploring the Archetypal Mirrors of the Psyche by Mariana Louis — This is the second book about the tarot and Jungian theory that’s literally shown up at my house in the last month (but it’s the only one I can tell you about because the other one is still in progress and I’m getting a sneaky peek hehehe). I haven’t cracked this one open quite yet, but I’m loving the promise of psychospiritual meanings of the Major and Minor Arcana, and this bit from the back of the book: “It teaches us to befriend our shadows, evoke our imaginations, and attune to the soul's quiet directive: How am I meant to live?” Can’t wait to dig in!

4. Dark Sisters by Kristi DeMeester — This was my Book of the Month pick for December 2025, but as I’m currently in a hockey romance rabbit hole, it’s been slow going for me. But that is a reflection on my silly brain and not on the beauty of this book, which has witches, and lesbians, and three different story lines throughout history, and is actually quite scary in its imagery!!! I brought this book with me on a solo trip to the desert, but couldn’t read it because I was a big fraidy cat!!! Now that I’m back home with my wife, I’ll put my big witch pants on and finish her up! Seriously, the plots are delicious.

5. The Collected Oscar Wilde by Barnes & Noble Classics — As I mentioned in the first Friday Five of 2026, I’m spending this 1 collective year and personal 6 year in relationship with one artist—not exclusively, of course, but intimately. Enter Oscar Wilde, a queer ancestor of great humor, style, and persecution by the society he always tried to entertain. I’m in the middle of the first work right now, The Portrait of Mr. W. H., which is a short story about a theory that Shakespeare’s sonnets were inspired by Will’s love for a young, male actor in his company, and how that belief consumes and disrupts the lives of those who learn of it. It’s very fascinating and blends my special interest in the Bard, my love of synchronicities, and my growing psychological education, as the characters search for clues and grapple with reality-testing and delusions.
   

   FYI - If you like theatre and Oscar Wilde, the National Theatre is streaming their newest production of “The Importance of Being Earnest” on YouTube for free on March 12 (7pm GMT), with the replay available for one week after.

Happy Friday! What are you reading this week? If you have any book lovers in your life, feel free to forward them this email!

This is going to get its own article at the top of the month, but I wanted to share a dispatch from the numerological energies of this year that feels important as we move through a moment in time when there’s wild weather above and below:

We choose to believe in the idea that we are on a path, not to spiritually bypass anything or tell ourselves unhelpful stories about progress and productivity—which are so often woven together in our capitalistic, individualistic society—but because it is a reminder that we are never lost. Even when we are wandering in the driest of deserts, or traversing stretches of brambles, dark mountain passes, treacherous caverns, and the Underworld itself, we are still on a path. This helps us to make meaning of each moment, and to connect with the idea of a future and to say, there is a continuance here.

However, as much as we can visualize that path, we will never know it until we walk it. We are one person, standing wherever we are in time and space and geography. We can only see what’s right in front of us. We only know what we’ve experienced. We can only feel into our present moment and try to do the next right thing in order to move forward on. This is a tricky, cognitive dissonance: to hold the idea that there is so much more ahead that we cannot see, and also that we are responsible for the right here, right now, especially when the right here, right now is something you don’t want to be a part of.

2026, a ten/one year, is offering us the reminder that we’ve already passed through nine, which pushed us out of our comfort zones and asked, What can what can we reclaim for the collective, and how can we come together? Instead of turning back towards isolation, we’re now juggling our independence with our interdependence.

Now is the time to get and/or stay involved, and get and/or stay connected...

More soon, but would love to know how this is landing!

There are some fun new things in the bee-cosystem section below, but first—This week has two dates with notable numerology, so in case you missed it or you need a refresher, be sure to make note of:

New Moon Solar Eclipse in Aquarius + Lunar New Year

• 02/17/2026

• 2+1+7+2+0+2+6 = 20/2

Time has the same numeric vibration as today’s 20/2 energy, which feels right for ushering in a new cycle of eclipses and the Lunar New Year! If two rules the both falling in love and getting your heart broken, then perhaps a good way of meeting this moment is to remember the old equation: pain + time = comedy. It’s okay if you never get to a place where you can find humor in what hurts, but perhaps there is a way to use wit and wordplay to shift your perspective on your past. Usher in a new cycle with some surprise and a whole lot of freedom.

….and….

Two Twenty-two (One)

• 02/22/2026

• 2+2+2+2+0+2+6 = 16/7

Do you know that according to the Greeks there are 7 types of love? There’s Eros – Romantic, Passionate Love (Of the Body), Philia – Affectionate, Friendly Love, Storge – Unconditional, Familial Love, Agape – Selfless, Universal Love, Ludus – Playful, Flirtatious Love, Pragma – Committed, Long-Lasting Love, and Philautia – Self Love. No shade of love is greater than another, and they’re all our divine birthrights to feel and experience. What types of love are you familiar or comfortable with? Which types would you like to cultivate through new relationships, communities, and commitments? Expand your heart today.

This year, every single week of 2026 will be influenced by the energy of our collective yearly numbers: ten and one (2+0+2+6 = 10, 1+0 = 1).

This 55-page booklet traverses an entire year, explores the numbers one through fifty-two, and considers how we can spin cosmic poetry into action and ease. It is a trek through both numerological nuance and down-to-earth direction that was written in 2025, but is evergreen for every year. PDF only $10!

Week #6: February 9-15, 2026

The sixth week of a ten/one year (6+10 = 16, 6+1 = 7) wants you to consider what privacy means, and the role it plays in your self, life, and society.

Seven is a number of mystery, of fog, of both clouds and rabbit holes, and despite being a number of practicality and pragmatism, it thrives in the in-between. What does it mean to energetically hang in the shadows? How does secrecy protect, but also enable? How does working behind the scenes ensure the efficacy of what you’re working on, but can also hold you back from playing bold and brash? And what if we took things to a mass scale? What does it mean to be a private person in an era of surveillance and data mining and collection? What happens when things come to light, as things are wont to do?

A WEEK SIX TO-DO:

Just like you observed your energy last week, notice your tech habits this week. How often do you read the Terms of Service for the apps and websites you make accounts on? How many old or unused accounts do you have floating around out there? Do you use a VPN, or even know what that is? How trusting are you of the online services you use, who you let save your passwords, credit card numbers, addresses, etc? This isn’t meant to fearmonger, or get you to switch from Gmail to Proton Mail (although that’s what I’ve been gradually doing), but just to flick warm water in your face and gently whisper that you’re not ever as private or protected as you think you are online.

The sixth week of a ten/one year needs you to remember that the players absolutely matter, but when the game clock is running, it’s best to keep your eye on the puck.

If you read 1/23: The Friday Five, then you know my Heated Rivalry brainrot has also resulted in me attending, watching, and enjoying actual hockey. Wild. Obviously, the players and relationships are a total draw - I’m obsessed with the bffs/baby sharks in San Jose, and all of the queer women in the PWHL are giving me life with their cute pairings and real life rivalry romances - but now that I’m actually watching the games, and trying to figure out what the hell is happening, I’m finding that to follow the flow of play, I have to de-center the players and focus on the puck. This also allows me to truly witness the skill of the team - how they gain and keep control, how they pass, how they shoot, how they steal, how they score. Something, something, metaphor for non-hierarchical revolution….

A WEEK SIX TO-DON’T:

This week, no matter who does what, says what, snags your attention, hypers your fixations, etc., do not take your eye off what’s at stake and what truly matters. Ego and celebrity can be distraction. Pride and discourse can be wastes of time and energy. We need to see the trees and the forest in equal measure to ensure a well-rounded perspective. And whatever you do, STAY OUT OF THE COMMENTS SECTIONS THIS WEEK. Schedule your peace.

February 9-15 for Your Yearly Cycle

These are from Week 7 of 2025, but I liked ‘em and think they’re worth re-visiting for your current cycle. I also think it’s neat to read the one from last year and see if anything’s shifted for you since you first read it last year. Witness your cycles!

To find your yearly cycle number, add the digits of your month and day of birth to 2026, and reduce until you reach a single digit. For example, the calculation for my birthday of July 7 looks like: 7+7+2+0+2+6 = 24, 2+4 = 6.

Please note that I reduce doubled digit numbers like 11 and 22 to their root numbers when working with yearly cycles, so please calculate and read accordingly.

Read for your Yearly Cycle, but also check out your prominent chart placements, like Life Path and Public Persona, as well for the collective 1-year.

1

This week calls for more alone time. You may genuinely love being around other people, and showing up for whatever comes your way, but you also deserve to disappear sometimes. To be pickier and choosier about the ways in which you share your space and energy. Not forever, but definitely until your batteries are recharged. Chances are, the sooner you go offline, the quicker those insights and inspirations you’re always searching for will find you. Lose yourself to the sweet, solo mysteries, and remember that any space is sacred if its meaningful to you.

2

This week wants you to consider the growth opportunities available to you within the mirrors of your closest relationships. It’s tempting to latch on to our beloveds, close our eyes tight, and hope being in a bubble will be enough to sustain our connection. But life is full of ups and downs, and while conflict might feel icky, it’s an absolute must-have experience when it comes to building trusting and comfortable bonds. Crisis and plot twists will reveal who’s in it for the long haul with you, so shore things up your sweethearts in the here and now.

3

This week needs you to come out of your shell a bit. It’s time to share what you’ve been working on with others; to open your own proverbial gates and invite your nearest and dearest to dine of the fruits of your labors. You’ve been keeping things to yourself to protect your progress, but now the injection of outside enthusiasm will be nourishing to your creations. Even if you don’t think you’re ready, the benefits of allowing folks around you to join you in your magic and manifestations will be both seen and unseen. Trust the power of your own voice.

4

This week requests that you handle your shit with transparency and precision, even when it feels cutting. There is absolutely a fine line between criticism and judgment, but in the long run, it’s not fair to anyone to forsake honesty for status quo. These aversions to being perceived as mean, rude, or otherwise upsetting are often rooted in fears around rejection. And how understandable is that? It’s not always safe to rock the boat, especially not with something as trivial as one’s opinion. Still, try and back yourself by reflecting on the idea of clarity as kindness.

5

This week asks you to both break a leg and run away with the circus. Performing for others gets exhausting after a while, no matter how much satisfaction you receive from their applause. You’re not in a position to call out of the show, but that doesn’t mean you can’t find pockets of time to reclaim as your own. Sneak a few deep breaths in the wings, tuck talismans into your quick change costume, and then at the end of the proverbial night, indulge in the transformation from public to private self. Skip away with pride, and always leave ‘em wanting more.

6

This week wants to prove to you that spending time tending to your own garden is vital to your relationship with yourself, your art, and ultimately your belief in what’s possible. It’s not a flight of fancy, but rather a grounded way to keep your inner and outer lives full of flavors, spices, projects and passions. Think about all of the things growing in your life that you never could’ve imagined or intended for, but are deeply rooted in the rich soil of your soul all the same. Keep feeding your inklings and peculiarities, and stay open to weaving yourself into your work.

7

This week might feel confusing. The good news? You don’t have to make any decisions right this second. You can pause, take a breath, do something to take your mind off things, or simply hang out until things appear clearer. The better news? Next week looks promising for the certainty you seek. It might also have you leaving behind what’s familiar, and venturing down a new path. Let the fog of the next seven days grant you the gift of time with what is present right here, right now. You might miss it when you’re elsewhere, even if the future is brighter.

8

This week promises all bets are off. What would you do if there were no rules? And what would you do to get what you want if you knew everything you’ve been told about game plans and strategies was to benefit someone or something else? Authenticity is the goal, but for now, you’re still flexing your most intimate muscles in secret. That’s okay! We build ourselves through mundane, everyday decisions as much as the ones that change or greatly alter our lives. Give yourself permission to throw caution to the wind. New worlds need new ways of working.

9

This week wants you to make moves. On the surface, it may look like you’re just playing around, but there’s a method to your madness. You’ve put forth a great effort to get where you are, to have what you have, and to make it appear like you’ve done it all without breaking a sweat. But don’t let an undercurrent of over-protectiveness or fear of risk keep you small and unsupported. Take some pride in yourself and don’t underestimate your own genius and capabilities. You’ll be shocked at how quickly things go from zero to one-hundred, but you’ve got this.

In Call Your Coven’s latest episode, “February 2026: Schedule Your Peace,” I share a phrase that came through when thinking about this numeric combination within our current context:

Loosen the fuck up!

This doesn’t mean let go, or get over it, or be chill about whatever you’re stressed about. It means we need to not hold so tightly to whatever is in our clammy, little hands. The metaphor that comes to mind is kind of a wild one, but consider how drunk drivers are often less injured in wrecks because their bodies don’t brace for impact.

Three is messy. It’s the fiery eruption of the volcano, the bloody surge of childbirth. We are living in volatile times.

The world we are building requires flexibility…

Notable Numerology in February

Full Moon in Leo

• 02/01/2026

• 2+1+2+0+2+6 = 13/4

A full moon on the first? What big, bright, open energy. Perhaps you’d like to take advantage! This energy is ripe for claiming something, but at the very least, it’s perfect for making peace with a part of you that’s been problematic in the past. We all have “shadow” aspects of our selves. We all act out of character sometimes. We all make mistakes and need to put effort towards repair. This is how we grow, and the bonds with self and others that come from this kind of work are stronger than those that remain untested. The world needs you, and the best way you can show up is by first loving every imperfectly perfect part.

Two Two (One)

• 02/02/2026

• 2+2+2+0+2+6 = 14/5

Two has such tender energy, and so does four (the root sum of today’s date), but in a more thick-skinned, guarded kind of a way. Today, consider how your defense mechanisms, emotional walls, and energetic armor has kept you safe and alive, and thank yourself for the loving protection. Then, reflect on whether or not those moats are keeping predators out, or just keeping you roped in. It’s okay to be scared to put down what’s no longer serving you, especially if it worked brilliantly before. But you’re ready. You’re ready.

New Moon Solar Eclipse in Aquarius + Lunar New Year

• 02/17/2026

• 2+1+7+2+0+2+6 = 20/2

Time has the same numeric vibration as today’s 20/2 energy, which feels right for ushering in a new cycle of eclipses and the Lunar New Year! If two rules the both falling in love and getting your heart broken, then perhaps a good way of meeting this moment is to remember the old equation: pain + time = comedy. It’s okay if you never get to a place where you can find humor in what hurts, but perhaps there is a way to use wit and wordplay to shift your perspective on your past. Usher in a new cycle with some surprise and a whole lot of freedom.

Two Twenty-two (One)

• 02/22/2026

• 2+2+2+2+0+2+6 = 16/7

Do you know that according to the Greeks there are 7 types of love? There’s Eros – Romantic, Passionate Love (Of the Body), Philia – Affectionate, Friendly Love, Storge – Unconditional, Familial Love, Agape – Selfless, Universal Love, Ludus – Playful, Flirtatious Love, Pragma – Committed, Long-Lasting Love, and Philautia – Self Love. No shade of love is greater than another, and they’re all our divine birthrights to feel and experience. What types of love are you familiar or comfortable with? Which types would you like to cultivate through new relationships, communities, and commitments? Expand your heart today.

Until next time, just keep swimming!

My rage and my love is with Minnesota! We must all be taking notes on their organizing tactics, their sheer presence, and the beauty of their resistance!

Here are four aligned actions or opportunities:

• Call hotels housing ICE in the Twin Cities. Directions are at the top of the spreadsheet and remember to not harass the employees!

• Local sage could use your support and would love to work with you! They also just started a new tarot advice column and run a Patreon!

• The Midwest Immigration Bond Fund is taking donations! Funds go directly to bonding detainees out in Minnesota, Chicago, and other occupied cities.

• Meg Jones Wall is hosting a free virtual tarot journaling event for grief, reflection, and resilience, and will soon be facilitating a larger container on grief! Let Meg remind you that your anger is sacred and your open heart is powerful!

2026 is a new cycle. We must do things differently. We must stick together.

This year, every single week of 2026 will be influenced by the energy of our collective yearly numbers: ten and one (2+0+2+6 = 10, 1+0 = 1).

Meaning for this week…
