On Thin Ice | Stephen A Smith

We aren't fortune tellers nor have we examined his transits, but we have an inkling that Stephen A. Smith is skating on thin ice, possibly due to more intense public scrutiny. Numerology offers numerous distinct ways to reveal yearly themes in your life and the lives of others. Age 58 is a karmic indicator, suggesting that one's health, career, reputation, or wealth may undergo changes.

Not all attention is good! Being in the media spotlight constantly can be particularly detrimental in 2025; it can certainly indicate something is concluding, especially when the media attention or the give-and-take is not favorable. There was an unexpected recent online back-and-forth between former First Lady Michelle Obama and Smith, as well as Denzel Washington, who called out Smith and others. 

Smith was born on October 14, 1967. In 2025, he entered a Personal Year 24/6, and he's in his Final Pinnacle 33/6. In March 2025, Smith officially signed a new contract with ESPN, worth over $100 million over a five-year period. He signed this contract during his Personal Month 9, suggesting it may not last or that there will be a substantial adjustment.

August of Personal Year 6 is Smith's Personal Month 5, a month of change that will shape the rest of his year. Lo and behold, in August, ESPN announced a deal to acquire the NFL Network and other NFL media assets, including RedZone and NFL Fantasy. It remains to be seen whether he will still retain his ESPN contract by April 2026. By design, some Personal Years have a shorter period to turn a situation around. Personal Year 5 has nine months, while Personal Year 6 has eight.

Although he signed the agreement in March 2025, it likely came together in February 2025, during his Personal Month 8. 

Understanding the characteristics of each number and what they symbolize can help you anticipate what is possible during these periods. Keep in mind that not all cycles are always favorable; when you veer off course, there's an event that can guide you back to the path you are destined to follow on your life's journey.

When one's Personal Year and Pinnacle align, it can be a monumental experience, either pleasantly or unpleasantly.

Remember that the advantages gained or unfavorable consequences that come about by March of the year are what your efforts earned in the previous year. I.e., what shows up by March 2026 is what your efforts earned in 2025. We keep reiterating this because we want you to grasp this numerology concept; it is beneficial for you. Most of the time, events in November and December were already underway and unfolding on a small scale, coming to the fore in January or February.

Each cycle represents an uninterrupted 9-year narrative that builds continuously, driving the storyline forward without pause. If at the start of the year you haven't gained any advantages or financial profit, you have seven months to turn things around for the better. 

For Smith, 2025 holds more significance than just $100 million financial gain because this is the reward his efforts earned him in his 2024 Personal Year 23/5. Conversely, whatever transpires between November 2025 and February 2026 is a direct result of 2025 and can impact his housing situation, family, children, emotional health and bank account. 

Unless other numbers substantiate otherwise, 3 and 5 are typically poor at managing their finances.

Interests and concerns in Universal Year 6 usually tend towards specific responsibilities associated with love relationships, kids, money, inheritance, childbearing, marriage or divorce, managing of the home, housing (buying, selling, remodeling), caring for sick and/or elderly members of one's dear family (quite often a mother, grandmother, sister, o raunt), tending to your health, primary school education, national, community and neighborhood affairs, etc.

Due to potential negative news, such as job loss or health issues, Smith will probably need to self-reflect and reevaluate in October 2025.

Stephen Smith has been with ESPN in various roles for over 20 years. Universal Year 9 is a disruptor, clearing the way for extensive revolutionary change, and this has been the case worldwide since 2016. Since approximately 2023, job losses and changes were expected to be increasingly widespread. We keep saying that nobody is safe! Don Lemon was fired from CNN after nearly 17 years with the network. Tucker Carlson was at Fox News for approximately 14 years. 

Disrupting salaries in an impactful way, like many others, Lemon and Carlson have reestablished their careers through hosting a podcast. The increase in podcasts is a clear indication that cable news programming and networks are undergoing a period of reconstruction and modernization.

Every sector of business, government and media institutions should brace for inevitable transformations, reshaping the political, business and cultural landscape in ways we can hardly imagine. These changes will ripple through corporate operations, social programs, mass media enterprises, political affairs, the labor force, news corporations, subscription-based television and governments. As a result, they will create both new opportunities and challenges for these entities and the general population.

Just like dominating rivals in a competition, the number 1 is fundamentally tied to one's ego and pride.

Not everyone will get laid off or fired; some people will voluntarily resign. Still, regrettably, from August 2025 to August 2026, a large number of individuals face the challenge of overcoming a blow to their ego and rebuilding their careers, while recovering lost salaries after years of employment.
