Year 2020: Mystical Resonances of Primordial Fire

 

Working with the Energy of The Emperor and Judgement

Year 2020, using Pythagorean reduction, signals a year that will bring forth the Power of the Quaternary in a series of events that might need resolution, containment, stability, and the Power of Reason, a quality assigned to The Emperor in esoteric traditions that often requires careful balance and keen attention.

The number itself, 2020, intimates a strong connection with Key 20, Judgement, and the Duad (20 x 2 = 40). Key 20 is often assigned to the Primal Hebrew Mother Letter “Shin,” Fire.  The Emperor also alludes to the Fire element, to alchemical Sulphur, to Aries the Ram, as well as to the cardinal zodiac sign of Fire, and the integration of Ares/Mars.

The unusual strength of this combination of symbolism offers us an opportunity to reflect the strength of both tarot cards, The Emperor and Judgement, during this year, and the role that both the High Priestess and the Fool could play in this complex scenario. Remember that “All the Power that Ever Was or Will Be is Here Now.” (B.O.T.A.)

It appears that numbers Two and the Zero will be in many ways just as significant because we are entering the second decad of the 2000’s, and perhaps we will be facing strong energy of discord along the way. Polarity is at times a strong quality of the quaternary, as well as unexpected strictures that are necessary to lance energy that will assist humanity to enter the “Axis of Transformation” that is waiting to lead us to higher levels of frequency, growth, and transfiguration. Numbers 2-20-4-0.  How they reveal to each of us the qualities of duality, of transformation, of dominion, of surrender and, in a way, embrace the unknown, like the Fool, Number Zero. Remember also that in various traditions Shin, the Mother Hebrew letter, is Fire and connects with Key 20 as well as Key 4. How will the qualities of this element influence our life, for the better or the worse? We must keep the power of Fire in mind, and its role in alchemy of soul.

It will be up to us to use reason and humility (plus discernment) along the journey, while understanding the role we must play as caregivers of the Earth, reckoning that we are building our energy field covering the four corners of the planet, not just for us, but for the All. The Vessel for Transformation is in us; the Athanor for the alchemical changes begins in us. Our thoughts, desires, actions, reactions are all reflected in the ecology of the planet and our Collective Consciousness; and the closer we advance into pair Key Seven, The Chariot and Key 16, The Tower, our responsibility will be urgently demanded to bring forth our indwelling Beauty and Power of Conciliation.
