October 2025 | Tipping Point

Our numeric perspective is that 2020 was a turning point, and 2021 and beyond are the most consequential transitions many of us have ever faced. The year 2026, Universal Year 1 in Directive Cycle 1, will alter our lives in a substantial way; thus, historic. Imagine a world where everything you thought was resilient and entirely true in every respect begins to crumble, suddenly revealing a landscape you realize you never fully understood. 

As we are forced to confront the stark realities unfolding around us, the comforting belief that our wishes can shape reality will leave us shaken and disillusioned. What lies ahead will forever alter our perspective on the world and our leaders.

Is the ship on the verge of submerging into the depths of the ocean?  

September, with intense persuasion, wrapped up a journey that started back in 2016. Over the years, we've gathered some really valuable insights and lessons from our past, and now we're all set to move forward—we hope. September delivered on its promise of intensity, upheaval, and loss of life. Worldwide, the temperature rose to a threshold we've never seen before, and we now find ourselves in the depths of an unfamiliar ocean, at a tipping point and a point of no return. 

Legal Matters

We foresaw 2025 being a legal year, and oh boy, has it delivered! The justice system in the United States, including local, state, and federal levels, has been highly active this year. This legal involvement also included the District Courts, Circuit Courts, Supreme Courts, and Appellate Courts.

We've mentioned this in a couple of our previous posts. Unfortunately,  for several years, while 1 is on the horizon, hostility to and prejudice towards religious institutions will steadily rise. Individuals indifferent to religion will likely act out in violent ways. At the same time, there will be a rise in cults.

Root number 9 symbolizes large groups of people and also immigrants.

More than 110,000 people protesting against immigration have marched through the United Kingdom's capital, London, in one of the country's biggest right-wing demonstrations, with some protesters clashing with the police and wounding at least 26 officers.

Take a deep breath! Democracy and science are the domains of the number 1, so while it appears that the United States is headed for a government ruled by a dictator, the numbers suggest this won't happen. July 4, 1776, suggests a nation built on the principles of freedom and democracy. Americans will become energetically loud when these fundamental values are threatened. 

What's more, the continued sidelining of science will not be tolerated. 2026-2034 are deeply rooted in the Scientific Concord, which emphasizes the importance of democracy, rapid progress, next-generation transportation, innovativeness, modern methods and concepts, individuality, facts, research, science, exploring the region beyond Earth's solar system, and armed conflict between different countries or different groups within a country. 

Forget about the past; look only to the future. It's time to seek fresh solutions to the age-old problems that have long held us in their grip. Accepting this shift can be daunting, as we have become accustomed to the familiar rhythms of our lives over the past half-century. If we're honest, many things should and need to be transformed. And now, as the winds of change begin to sweep through, many find themselves caught in a whirlwind of shock and worry, grappling with the unsettling emotions that accompany the prospect of trying something altogether new and different. Over the next two years, these drastic transformations, particularly the technological changes, will continue to bring a mix of hope and apprehension as we navigate the uncharted territory ahead.

2025 and 2026 are historic years! These years are also ushering in the most incredible worldwide reset and shift in consciousness of this century. 

October

On the last day of September, an offshore earthquake of magnitude 6.9 collapsed the walls of houses and buildings late Tuesday in a central Philippine province, killing at least 20 people and injuring many others. We now step into October 2025, a calendar month 10, which gives us much-needed optimism. Our level of confidence is boosted, so people have a determined drive to make changes in their lives, starting fresh with their personal goals. Number 1 doesn't consistently deliver what you anticipated; therefore, this is a month of surprising, shocking and abrupt events that have the potential to produce something new and exciting, particularly in the realm of business. Although there are a couple of big unexpected changes in the week of October 6, thankfully, most of October is much calmer than it was in September.

Look for Donald Trump to exacerbate tensions at home or abroad in October. 

We may feel a sense of déjà vu as we reflect on the choices we made in January 2025. Something was working itself loose, coming to a close, and now we can wash our hands of whatever this was and move on. Although it's an action month, it's also a great time for us to reflect on how we can improve our January results or continue pushing our goals forward.

If you're using the cycles appropriately, July was a good time to take an honest look at how well your life is working out.

For some of you, October is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to change the direction of your life. What's great is that this change has the potential to produce financial benefits or other advantages. Everyone's optimism and self-confidence are increasing. Opportunities we would have commonly overlooked or be afraid to take, we'll pounce on in October.

Everything speeds up in October 2025, only to slow down again from December 2025 to March 2026. By June 2026, it's evident that the world has changed. Nonetheless, October is a mixed bag; several unrelated pending matters still need to be concluded, causing a stir. In October, we have the energy of 9 (idealism) in conjunction with the energy of 1 (pragmatism), which can breed confusion. Until these energies separate, many underlying circumstances remain unknown or undetermined.

October 2025 is a Universal Month 19. This month encourages us to move forward with confidence, as October's calendar month is made up of 1 and zero, denoting God's protection over us. But as we stated in previous posts, the world will get loud starting in October 2025. Look for numbers 4, 6, and 8 to evoke a sense of aggression, as they often involve tangling the numbers 1 and 9 in heated arguments and conflicts. Regrettably, due to egos, there's a rise in conflicts and heated disagreements with others at work, at home or with other countries. 

Many of you, through a complex or tragic experience, will learn a valuable lesson about managing your strong differences of opinion.

October is what we call a new beginning month. The energy can be beneficial for some people and less so for others. This doesn't mean everyone is starting from scratch, but it does encourage you to add something new to what already exists. Again, it's a powerful month to push new endeavors forward. The October energy isn't as powerful as the September 2026 energy, but it's powerful enough to help you get a new start. You won't get supportive energies like this again in your lifetime, so you'd be wise to take advantage of this.

For several months, you may not have complete control over a situation. If you're finding it hard to just go with the flow, it's best to stay still and take a step back, allowing fate to unfold. It's not the time to push your own agenda because, in this moment in time, your desires, the direction you want to go in, don't matter; whatever and however situations are happening have been chosen for you to experience.

Government Shutdown

Government Shutdown: 10/1/2025

Negotiating isn't a strong suit for the Number 1, so hunker down! Judging by the numbers, we believe the last week of October or the second week in November, Congress is likely to reach an agreement on a short-term measure that will continue funding the government at current levels until sometime in January 2026.

Fragile Economy

The year 2026 is the beginning of a new 81-year cycle, presenting an opportunity to implement essential stabilizing measures within the economic framework. This stabilization process will encompass various critical components, including the optimization of production and consumption patterns for goods and services, as well as the effective management of the money supply. By focusing on these areas, we can ensure a balanced and sustainable economic environment that supports growth and stability throughout the cycle.

We've stated in previous posts that, judging by the numbers, the economy, manufacturing, jobs, housing, and national and consumer debt will be a significant focus in 2026. If the bottom of the bag is going to bust, it'll probably be in March 2026.

Interest Rate Cut

Aiming to boost hiring in a deteriorating jobs market, the Federal Reserve cut interest rates on Thursday, September 18, the first cut in nine months. On the same day, Hong Kong's central bank also lowered its base interest rate by 25 basis points to 4.50%, following a cut by the U.S. Federal Reserve.

It's an interesting labor market,' Powell said. 'You see people who are more at the margins — kids coming out of college, minorities — are struggling to find jobs.

Harsh Karmic Lesson

Governments, countries, cities, states, and businesses will also start to feel the weight of their debts in March. Tariffs, Medicaid, car repair costs, utilities, food, insurance, healthcare, and other expenses begin to take a toll on everyone's wallet. The Universal Year number paints a striking picture, revealing that in 2026, humanity will be confronted with a powerful awakening regarding the perils of materialism and the constraints it imposes on our lives. This harsh karmic lesson will serve as a reminder of the emptiness that often accompanies the relentless pursuit of possessions and status. 

Not everyone is awakening to this realization at the exact same moment; however, experiences such as personal loss, health challenges, and job insecurity will continue to push our awareness to more intense and heightened levels. Each of these hardships acts as a catalyst, compelling us to reflect on our values, priorities, and the interconnectedness of our lives in ways we may not have considered before. As we confront the trials of the next nine years, our understanding of ourselves and the world around us evolves, fostering a deeper sense of compassion and gratefulness.

Subtle Calmness

You will notice that people's interests begin to shift in October 2025. If you have been going through a difficult time, things can quickly improve in October 2025. It's a great month to move forward! In the background, 2025 had a strong impact on relationships.

Following the divorces and separations in September, romance flourishes in October, resulting in numerous new, surprising engagements, marriages, relationships, and pregnancies. You can finally start the ball rolling if you're looking for love. All things considered, love relationships still don't have long-lasting power, but have some fun anyway, enjoy it while it lasts. If you are looking to start a business or secure a new job, October is an ideal time to pursue these opportunities. If you are struggling with an illness, you might feel back to normal temporarily.

Additionally, the effects of 1 start to become apparent: people become more enterprising, risk-taking, aggressive, confrontational, competitive, bold, and individualistic, with fewer inhibitions about expressing their thoughts, among other things. Uninfluenced by the past, people are no longer afraid to reveal who they truly are and their moral principles! 

Leadership

The next nine-year cycle, the trending events of 2026 will be closely tied to leadership; therefore, governments around the world and corporate leaders are in the media spotlight in October 2025 for issues such as company restructuring, resignations, firings, fraud, deaths, and ill health, among other concerns. Over the next several months, expect to hear a lot of news regarding leadership at the senior executive level.

Additionally, many middle management positions will be eliminated, resulting in a marked change in corporate hierarchies. Of course, there is potential for high salaries to be recovered alongside significant savings from business travel expenses and incentives, as well as retirement plans, among other factors that contribute to a company's growth and a more prosperous future.

Extemes

The 2025 Universal Year 9 cleared the slate, and the 2026 Universal Year 1 marks the start of rebuilding. Therefore, the energy is extremely strong because it has the daunting responsibility of bringing about a new beginning, allowing us to lead better lives. The general areas of interest that emerge from now until April will set the trajectory for government and business affairs, and consequently, the major cultural shifts in society. Until September 2026, the combined energies of the powerful 9 and 1 can create moments of confusion, as we are burdened with government affairs and corporate affairs (1). As you try to push ahead this month, you come up against a wall, encouraging you to think outside the box. Expect numerous heated discussions and arguments based on individuals' beliefs rather than facts.

2026 – 2028 is a period of rapid and sweeping changes, a time of golden opportunities! October 2025 and definitely 2026 are the beginning of a new wave of entrepreneurial creativity and notable technological innovations, ultimately leading to an improved global economy and enhanced employment levels. As it was during the Roaring Twenties, we, too, will see some freedoms expanded and other liberties curtailed. Similar to the Roaring Twenties, the period from 2026 to 2028 is one of social, artistic, and cultural dynamism, as well as economic growth and widespread prosperity, but prosperity in a different way.

Military

It's no coincidence that China hosted dozens of world leaders for a massive military parade in Tiananmen Square in September. In October, several countries with substantial military presence will come into view. This trend aligns with the competitive, aggressive, and armed conflict associated with the number 1, reflecting a strong emphasis on national priorities and a strong military. Unlike the previous nine years, which had a strong global focus and collaboration among nations, there will be a noticeable shift as countries and corporations strive to establish a leading international presence independently. 

In 2026, countries are increasingly prioritizing their own interests and the well-being of their citizens. This preoccupation reflects a growing trend in which governments are directing their attention toward domestic challenges, government policies, the country's armed forces, and new initiatives, aiming to enhance the lives of their people rather than solely engaging in international affairs. Additionally, expect more isolationist countries to prefer being unaligned with major global alliances. November is a Universal Month 20, indicating another turning point, which could be in an alliance.

Strategic alliances between countries might be formed, gathering momentum in January 2026. Or quite the opposite, sudden conflict. November to February are also critical months for Donald Trump concerning his health, wealth, legal affairs, job, and family.

There will be an increasing number of culture wars and conflicts in 2026. What's hopeful is that in February, we'll see the temperature brought down, and leaders will be more open to hearing each other and engaging in civil conversations. As we've stated in an earlier post, situations are the way they are for the time being; things will shift, so be patient!

In October, we'll see that egos are boosted. People tend to be more self-confident and self-interested, and corporate leaders are preoccupied with the affairs of their own companies. Additionally, in October, many national leaders will prioritize their country's interests over those of other nations. Events in October are infused with the energy of Universal Year 1, so events occur rapidly and unexpectedly. If you hesitate, you'll lose the opportunity because just as fast as it came, it goes! 

We're already witnessing that people are feeling more empowered; hence, riots, protests, strikes, assassinations, and violence are igniting all over the world.

As of January 2026, whatever it turns out to be collectively, we will be in it for nine years. March and April 2026 will reveal the signature characteristics of this new Directive Cycle, which will commence in the Universal Year 1. We can't stress enough that February 2026 will expand things to the point where March will be challenging. Therefore, considerable changes will need to be made in April Universal Month 5, the course corrector.

Everyone is feeling the financial pressure, clearly shown by wealthy individuals selling off properties and leveraging their home equity for loans. The numbers suggest mismanagement of our finances can have unwelcome repercussions in 2026. All of us must make sound economic decisions to ensure success in 2026, no matter our financial status—whether we are rich, poor, or somewhere in between. 

Nearly 40% of Americans now juggle multiple jobs just to pay off debt, while others accept unwanted positions.

Ask anyone starting something new, whether it's launching a new business, relocating to a new location, or buying their first home. It's a fantastic experience, but also usually a tormenting one. Such is 2026; it's not an easy year by far. You must be prepared to take the lead and play your hand without relying on others for assistance. 

More Massive Layoffs Approaching

A spokesperson has told Business Insider that Microsoft is focused on reducing management layers and streamlining processes. The cuts have also affected many individual contributor roles.

Black unemployment has climbed above 7 percent, while 7.4 percent of young applicants are not ending their interviews with a handshake.

This October, there is a greater emphasis on corporations that will carry through to 2026. Every year, as the year draws to a close, businesses often lay off employees from November to January to cut costs and improve their financial statements before year-end reporting. The U.S. has more unemployed workers than job openings for the first time since April 2021.

Nearly 750,000 Americans lost jobs in the first half of 2025 as federal cuts and tariff fears drive a historic layoff wave since COVID. This job loss reflects ongoing challenges in the economy, including weakened job growth and rising unemployment rates.

By the way, November is yet another turning point. A reckoning will compel us to reflect on our past and present behavior, offering a deeper understanding of our current life situation. A word of caution for everyone. Ensure that you understand your finances and the stability of your employment before making significant holiday spending decisions.

This year, companies will grapple with budget planning for the upcoming year, as it is critical to optimize their resources for this new era of business. Unfortunately, we will soon see a ripple effect as business decisions and shrinking paychecks leave employees and their families facing uncertain futures and an increased risk of foreclosure and eviction. For all intents and purposes, we are still in a cycle of loss; therefore, every Personal Year is prone to layoffs in the next five months.

We're experiencing a significant reset, and as a result, many will have their potential earnings reduced once they are laid off, and many will also realize that middle management positions are being eliminated. Executive-level management will undergo salary transformations due to firings and retirements, as these individuals pursue new opportunities. Those who have been on their job for decades will have a hard time finding their way through the fog.

Emotion-based beliefs and explanations will no longer be the norm. People place a greater emphasis on authenticity, knowledge level, and facts; hence, leading to a war of words on social media platforms as they challenge the legitimacy of information and the skill level of those who teach and provide paid services. In October, be prepared to attract a lot of skeptics who want to share their opinions. Additionally, those who are 'fake' will be called out. There's no more support for those who haven't mastered their craft. No easy money from clicks or monetizing videos on YouTube channels to earn money from ad revenue.
