On the global scale there may be calls for fighting and war this year, yet there are also forces for peace and compromise, or at least restraint, because there is some realization that prosperity and peace is best achieved through goodwill and cooperation with others. Though there is still anger and desire for violence, this is a time to come face to face with the idea that any abuse or misuse we see in others is also within our self!

It’s a time to heal old wounds within families and lay old grievances aside. For those who listen to their intuition and appreciate their inner abundance and power in the present moment, success will follow. This energy will radiate out and affect all humanity.

The spiritual perspective of eight’s dual nature is that it represents Spirit and Matter, The Unmanifest and Manifest. They are the same divine qualities in different forms. The circles represent our capacity to fully return to the realization of being Divine and One with the Eternal on the spiritual plane and the earthly plane. The squares are as in the FourSquare qualities of Man: strength, intelligence, honesty, sincere consideration and love. This means that man’s authority, leadership and administration on earth is achieved by expressing our Divine qualities.

Relying more on our intuition can help us build a foundation for peace based on faith and trust in the Eternal. This year gives us a real opportunity to listen to higher guidance and realize compassion and consideration for others. We can achieve much this year if we band together with peace in our hearts, rather than being dominated by civilization’s subconscious tyranny in politics, religion and social pride.
The ever-present now is the greatest influence in our life because in essence it is the timeless conscious nature of I am. Though we are governed by eternal Universal Laws, as earthlings we have conditioned ourselves to be swayed by human dictates, including the human calendar. According to the Gregorian calendar, this is the year 2015. It has a particular frequency which can give an indication of the character and potential of this year's cyclical pattern.
This year has a frequency of eight which is further movement into the latter part of a 9 year cycle. We planted the seeds of ideas, worked on them and let them grow, and are ready to reap the harvest of the past several years. At last, it is a year for advancement and abundance in business, finances and authority!

It is wise to be cautious, since 8 is a dualistic and rhythmic number. The Law of Karma, or Cause and Effect, is a strong process in 8’s rhythmic nature. Though it can be a very successful year financially, it could also mean hiccups or even reversals if we are not focused on a higher purpose in our material pursuits. It could also mean further realization of the loss of personal privacy due to misuse of technological advancements.

True material wealth and prosperity is achieved with the perspective of power, abundance and money as divine energies that are meant for humanity's freedom and happiness, including Yours. And this could be the year for it! Any frustrations or confrontations are a reminder that troubles are of our own making!
