August 2025 | In Troubled Waters

We encourage you to refrain from having a simplistic view of numerology, as many of you are failing to realize that 2025 is not just a nine-year cycle coming to a close; it's also an 81-year cycle that is nearing its end. A new point in history and stage of development begins in 2026. In consequence, the energies are stronger in 2025 and 2026, and therefore, people feel the heaviness and difficulties of the 2025 Universal Year 9 like never before.

In 2026, a transition occurs from heaviness to confusion, as 1 and 9 are inherently incompatible energies that are very different from each other.

When we break down the numbers for 2025, they indicate an emphasis on the Supreme Court, law enforcement agencies, lawyers, judicial system, legal matters, taxes, higher education, student loans, and the deception and hidden aspects of these areas.

August 2025 is a run-up to 2026. There can be scrutiny regarding the economy, global corporations, CEOs, banking, manufacturing, as well as investment bankers and individuals with power and influence. This scrutiny also extends to local, state, and city governments, as well as karmic events. The 2026 numerology indicates a heightened focus on areas such as the economy, national and consumer debts, startups, capitalists, large corporations, politics, housing, employment, banking, and manufacturing for the first five months of the year. 

2026 has a distinctly Saturn-like quality, suggesting a strong focus on structure and organization that is needed to pave the way for future stability and growth.

Change Agent

May Universal Month 5 was the trigger for the ensuing chaos we are experiencing right now. The number 5 prophecies rambunctious people, a lack of self-control, sensationalism, extremes, and sudden events, as well as travel difficulties due to karmic debt 14/5 month. In July, travel difficulties, airplane mishaps, and fatalities persisted as part of a karmic debt month 16/7. Travel is expected to improve for the December Christmas season. 7 also represents water, and nationwide, there were massive floods and losses (9), particularly in Texas, a state that will continue to be in the media spotlight through 2026.

Humanity is undergoing a massive transformation from 2025 to 2034, one unlike anything we will ever experience again in our lifetime. Universal Year 9 excavates and destroys what is no longer working or needed, paving the way for a new era in business leadership, governance, innovation, and problem-solving approaches. 

What we individually and collectively root in our minds and bring forth in a meaningful way between October 2025 and March 2026 will eventually gain ground.

We have reached the halfway point of 2025, and indeed, these are unusual times. Do what's best for you to hang on! We have endured months of emotional stress; however, in August 2025 and throughout 2026, you may experience mental stress due to work-related pressures, including challenging situations or time-consuming demands.

Personal Years

All things considered, 2025 has presented its fair share of challenges for individuals in Personal Years 1, 5, and 8. It often felt like no matter what you did, victory was just out of reach. It's remarkable how you stood firm and quickly bounced back, even after facing a tough obstacle. But here's the silver lining. You are ahead of the game, already working on the necessary traits that will drive your success next year! In the coming months, continue building on it! In August and September, you should prepare for numerous opportunities to radically change and reinvent yourself and your situation.

More so than people in the other Personal Years, the way your life looks at the beginning of 2025 might look quite different from how things are by the end of the year. In fact, the changes you experienced during the year could be even more noticeable than what you usually see over twelve months! We recognize that building self-esteem and perseverance are keys to getting through tough times, especially as we look ahead to the years from 2026 to 2028.

We can't stress enough that it's never all; current transits and Pinnacles can reduce the severity of one's circumstances. Nevertheless, unlike others this year, you are already beginning a new phase in life.

To your advantage, the lessons you learn this year will empower you to push forward, persevere, and triumph over obstacles next year. 2025 and 2026 are two powerful catalysts for change. 2025 marks the end of the eighty-one-year cycle, and 2026 marks the start of a brand new eighty-one-year cycle.

The end of a cycle often triggers our emotions as things come to a close, while the beginning of a cycle provides us with motivation and energy to move in a new direction. 

Moving forward, we need to approach challenges by addressing and letting go of certain situations, so that we individually and collectively break free from cycles of repetition and create a more positive and supportive environment for everyone. Taking this approach can prevent situations from escalating and ultimately have a positive impact on the entire community. 

July 

Reflecting on July 2025, it provided an opportunity to review the past six months on an internal level. Those individuals who took time out for themselves were pleasantly surprised by the insights they received. 

If you feel discomfited due to uncertainty about the future. Honor those feelings, but at the same time, it's crucial to have confidence in the possibilities that are not yet visible!

A great deal was happening behind the scenes in July that we wouldn't have been privy to. In August, everyone will feel the pace of life accelerating; remember that many things will happen suddenly over the next several months, with little time to think. That's why July was such a crucial month to get your bearings before far-reaching changes occur. Doing so helps you alleviate much of the anxiety about what you don't know.

August Numerology

August is both a calendar month of 8 and a Universal Month of 17/8. This year, the Calendar and Universal months align, making the energy of each month even more potent. If it felt as if July was slow, and your circumstances were stuck. In August, things speed up, and stuck situations finally start to release. Be cautious in August to avoid running yourself ragged due to your demanding work schedule.

From a numerical perspective, August to November 2025 could be among the most extreme months in history for weather- and natural disaster-related events, including earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, wildfires, aviation accidents, explosions of homes or buildings, riots, underground activity, conflicts, fatalities, foreclosures and the deaths of celebrities and leaders.

We must remember that 2025 is a Universal Year 9, and August is a Universal Month 8, two energies that do not align well; a battle is brewing. Hence, August is a very active month, characterized by destabilizing situations at home and abroad, as well as conflicts worldwide. August 3-10 and August 25-31 are periods when you should be on guard. 

From August 2025 to January 2026, one after another, there are separations/divorces, incurable illnesses, foreclosures, bankruptcies, tragic or injurious accidents and deaths of celebrities, politicians, business leaders and global leaders. As you expect, individuals in Personal Year 4 are at a greater risk of health troubles and/or death.

Nevertheless, by mid-August, we have a sense of optimism and hope for the future. Despite being a karmic month, there is an overall feeling of calm and peace regarding changes. However, for most of August, 9 will disrupt the peace and bring attention not only to financial matters but also to scandals, global conflict and individuals with power, influence, and authority.

Tariffs are back on the agenda as of August 1. Expenses rise in 8 cycles; therefore, items such as gas, toy prices, various food products, and other imported goods are likely to increase in price. We'll feel the impact immediately. 

August can produce regime changes and the voluntary stepping down of political or business leaders, with new leadership emerging to replace them. Due to the karmic nature of 8, there may also be sudden deaths and firings.

Judging by the numbers, many people will be shocked at some point between August and October 2025, as something is going away instantly, which could have a detrimental impact on their finances, career, or social status. If you have been consistently financially comfortable, we caution you to prepare for the unexpected. Similarly, some individuals will have access to financial resources or career opportunities, setting them up for a prosperous future.

August, September, and October are pivotal months when radical changes may occur. There is also an increased potential for a humanitarian crisis, as well as tragic weather events and large-scale protests.

October, in particular, serves as a transitional period, temporarily ushering in the energy of 2026 Universal Year 1.

As we stated in earlier posts, the world is going to be loud. People who once refrained from declaring their points of view will now feel comfortable expressing their opinions and unafraid to call a spade a spade.

Additionally, November 2025 and April 2026 are identified as critical tipping points, marking essential shifts that could shape the upcoming year.

September Eclipse Season

The 2025 March and September eclipses are serious! September 2025 brings two powerful eclipses: one in Pisces and another in Virgo. The September eclipses are going to shake things up! There's a Total Lunar Eclipse on September 7-8 and a partial solar eclipse on September 21, 2025. The partial solar eclipse in Virgo could bring about an exceptionally transformative experience. With these eclipses occurring in September, we witness tremendously powerful revelations and the culmination of matters, paving the way for new beginnings within six months that will be surprising. 

Many individuals will feel the energies of the eclipse about one to two weeks or days prior to the event. Even if you are inclined to do so, refrain from implementing anything new during this eclipse. Keep in mind that despite the eclipses, September brings the culmination of matters, so there's something or someone you must let go of. October is the best time to move forward with anything new because you'll finally have a slight clue in which fresh new direction life is steering you. In September, be willing to clear space for something new and untried.

People aged 41, 53, 65, 77, and 89 are at risk of health problems, financial difficulties, or confrontations with enemies. The September eclipses might ignite this.

After the eclipses, our lives and our world will begin to move forward in a new direction at a rapid pace. Therefore, it is essential to be as prepared as possible despite the considerable uncertainty that remains. There have been delays and obstacles for everyone this year. Still, in November 2025, you will finally be able to move forward and resolve any stagnant situations that have persisted since March 2025. Personal Years 1, 4, 5, 9, and 11 are likely to experience the most significant shifts, as all are expected to undergo substantial changes immediately or in the next five months. 

Catalyst For Change

September is a calendar month 9 and Universal Month 18/9, so expect to hear of deaths and, surprisingly, sudden physical health issues. We've said for numerous years that the Greatest and Silent generations are concluding their journey on Earth, so expect to see a lot more individuals die by the end of the year. There may be a passionate remembrance of someone who has died, whose name will live on long after they are gone.

The number 9 symbolizes the completion of a cycle or an ending, representing the culmination of experiences and lessons learned. 9 can also indicate an adjustment; it doesn't always mean something has to be relinquished, but something must be remade or adapted. However, 9 does not provide insights into what lies ahead because it lacks foresight; rather, it serves as a guiding light, giving us faith in the myriad possibilities that the future may hold. Its essence 9 encourages us to let go of the past while inspiring hope and imagination for the paths we might choose in the next chapter of our journey.

9 is like a wrecking ball; it demolishes anything it comes into contact with, clearing the way for something new to come along.

Several ongoing situations, dating back to 2014, have made it difficult to fully grasp the entire context of what's happening. Now that we're approaching the end of this cycle, we're starting to see and personally feel the impact of the powerful 9. Right now, we're all walking through the fire to get to the other side of this last chapter. Some areas of our goals will become unattainable; therefore, they need to be discarded and purged. 

Many companies are prematurely introducing "new" products to the public too early, not understanding that until October 2025, "new" products won't gain traction, and some will fail.

The directive of the disrupter 9 is to dismantle outdated government systems, agencies, and policies, including those of courts, financial systems, federal taxes, trade agreements, laws, government programs, educational systems, establishments, and societal norms, to the point of no return. In the U.S., President Donald Trump and his administration have carried out this directive, disrupting our way of life. After the destruction, there will be rebuilding, and we believe that the rebuilding will be in the hands of someone other than Donald Trump. 

Super Power

I, Me, Mine. While the private sector will have much more concerted attention, governments worldwide are concentrating on strengthening their nations' economies and militaries, with the goal of becoming leaders on the global stage. During much of 2026, there will be limited emphasis on building alliances with foreign countries. At the same time, business leaders will focus on fortifying their organizations and achieving profitability targets to secure their position as industry leaders.

2026 is a very competitive year globally, government leaders will concentrate their efforts on elevating their nation to a leading position on the global stage, prioritizing initiatives that enhance economic growth, innovation and infrastructure development, strengthen their military, and promote scientific and technological advancement 

Meanwhile, corporate executives will intensify their strategies to dominate their respective markets, leveraging mergers and acquisitions to consolidate their power and eliminate competition. In this evolving landscape, we can also anticipate the rise of independent online news organizations, which will return to providing in-depth reporting and investigative journalism. 

Additionally, much of the modification, restoration, and restructuring will be ad lib, thereby introducing new entrepreneurs, innovations, and technologies. 2026 will require a tremendous amount of effort, so expect governments and businesses to focus specifically on rebuilding and restructuring the nation from January to September of that year.

We suspect that in 2030, a revolutionary shift is underway, and by 2033, we may have a new financial system in place.

Universal Year 9 is also about regaining your inner power, which occurs through loss and suffering that lead to profound emotional transformation. As we transition into 2026, the Universal Year 1, it's about self-empowerment. Having control over your life, to make independent decisions, and take bold actions that lead to your individual personal growth, fulfillment, and success. 

October 2025 and all of 2026 primarily require you to be self-reliant. Very few government organizations will offer help or support, so keep this in mind as you set your ambitious plans and goals. If you want to achieve something, you'll need to pursue it on your own, investing your own money, effort, and time. The energy will slowly shift in the coming years, and there will be more unity, collaboration, and cooperation; however, for now, it's every man for himself. 

This energy is affecting everyone globally, but remember that everyone's life lessons are different. Not everyone will face financial problems, layoffs, marital issues, or health concerns, but there will be aspects of life where things are difficult.

Another problem we observe is that over the past nine years, many individuals have lost their sense of self-identity because they've made every effort to merge with a "tribe," and therefore don't know how to be themselves. These individuals no longer know who they are, as they are suffering from an identity crisis that can make it difficult for them to move forward in the coming years.

Tangible Realities

In our busy material world, where tangible possessions often define who we are, finances play a pivotal role in shaping our journey. As we navigate the complexities of this new era, the importance of financial stability becomes increasingly apparent.

Expect more layoffs from now through to the first quarter of 2026, as businesses are expected to drastically cut costs to achieve financial stability. 

Humanity is on the cusp of a brand new 81-year cycle that officially begins in September 2026. It is imperative to shift our mindset and redefine our relationship with money. When leveraged effectively, financial resources become a powerful tool for creating opportunities and driving growth, with the capacity to shape a more prosperous and abundant future for both individuals and society.

People with excessive debt and living paycheck to paycheck will suffer if they are laid off, as it currently takes 6 months or more to find another job.

The year 2026 is poised to bring far-reaching changes that can seem to unfold in the blink of an eye. Now is the time to take decisive action. August 2025 presents a prime opportunity to get your tax situation and finances in order before the end of the year. There's an emphasis in 2026, particularly on debt management. Don't wait; preparing now will equip you for the challenging months of March and April 2026. 

We're going through a generational transition; thus, the Great and Silent generations are passing away. Parents and grandparents, aunts and uncles born before 1945, will no longer be here.

If you've been overly dependent on someone else's financial support, a wake-up call is coming for you. Everyone's old financial conditioning has to change. For this reason, clarity arises on how you earn and manage money. Particularly the individuals currently in Pinnacles 3, 4, 6, and 8. Remember that, on some level, everyone must transition into a more self-sufficient lifestyle, particularly in terms of self-worth and finances.

Globally, many individuals, governments, and businesses will need to learn to live and spend differently than they have in the past.

To achieve greater financial stability and success, individuals, governments, and businesses need to reassess and transform their longstanding beliefs and habits related to money. This shift in financial mindset enables them to break free from limiting patterns that have been instilled over generations. Embracing a fresh perspective on finances empowers them to make more informed decisions, set achievable goals, and ultimately pave the way for a more secure financial future.

Be mindful that 1 represents businesspersons and business executives; thus, a significant portion of the media spotlight throughout 2026 is on these individuals and their new innovations or companies. Expect a great deal of activity centered around these influential figures, whose decisions and innovations can notably shape national and international economies over the next decade.

Societal Reform Is Underway

As we continue to monitor this emerging new world, we notice that heating and cooling costs are rising, along with mortgage rates. Thus, multigenerational home plans are emerging as a beneficial solution. These designs accommodate family members of varying ages, including grandparents, parents, and children, promoting comfortable living for everyone. These types of homes not only save on costs but also strengthen family bonds and are a part of the societal transformation that is underway.

While multigenerational living is often discussed as a new trend driven by recent economic factors, its roots actually extend much farther back. In fact, for most of American history, multigenerational living has been the norm, not the exception. A History of American Multigenerational Living

Expect to see a lot of new construction and empty office spaces that attract interest from new startups.

Judging by the numbers, many people will be shocked at some point between August and October 2025, as something is going away, which could have an impact on their career or social status. If you have been consistently financially comfortable, we caution you to prepare for the unexpected. Similarly, some individuals will have access to financial resources or career opportunities, setting them up for a prosperous future. 

Since 2014, it has been relatively easy to get ahead due to the support of others. We're unaccustomed to going the distance alone. Therein lies the problem going forward.

In August 2025, an unexpected situation may arise that will require you to step up to the plate; be aware of whether that's something you struggle with.

The universe doesn't give us this opportunity often. In this moment, it's essential to focus on your needs so that you feel empowered to prioritize yourself without apology. By taking charge of your journey, you can take pride in knowing that your success is a reflection of your hard work and determination. It's time to be courageous enough to be your authentic self rather than the person your tribe or family wants you to be.

Begin changing your mindset and behavior before April 2026. Remember that your circumstances can and will likely change rapidly from August 2025 to September 2026. Bring your energy in August and be ready to show dedication to achieving your goals! It's time to live BOLDLY.
