As I’ve written extensively in past posts, the 20th century (1900 – 1999) was the final and most powerful century in 1000 years of dominant masculine energy. In numerology 1 is the primary masculine / yang number, while 2 is the primary feminine / yin number. Thus the millennium lasting 1000 – 1999 had a predominantly masculine bias and 1901 – 1999 was its absolute peak in power. Yang and yin are constantly interchanging: there is no actual end to one or the other. Rather they blend into each other once one is reaching its peak.
1900 – 1999 was the 20th century. The wisdom of numerology simply explains the prevailing shift from masculine (1) to feminine (2) within this time. The shift has been far from easy. Overly powerful masculine energy, which brought about a century of growth, innovation and personal power, but also war, dictatorships, false gurus and a lack of concern for nature, began to combine with incoming feminine energy. This made people feel more sensitive and desire more safety and stability. There was more concern for the weak and disadvantaged. The 2 energy also brought a growing obsession with emotions and the dumbing down of critical intelligence which eventually led into the superficiality of social media.
This blend of personal power and heightened sensitivity has created an epidemic of narcissism; a grotesque ego orgy in which common sense is often nowhere to be seen and people do whatever they feel like. Women in particular have become addicted to a heady blend of independence and emotional obsession.
It is this challenging confluence of heightened masculine and feminine energies which has birthed the ‘expert’ / influencer fad. With access to almost unlimited information on the internet, and the superficial use of AI tools like ChatGPT, people with very little wisdom of experience are branding themselves as those in the know. The old way was to glean wisdom from personal experience, testing things out for what works. Now the teen, 20 and 30 something influencers go about their internet research, cherry picking whatever information they can market most effectively.
Contradictory diet and exercise fads which come with the peer reviewed approval of scientists, are promoted to those without the drive or imagination to find out what works for themselves. This is the tawdry influencer age. Thankfully as I explain here, in 2025 we are in the final year of the 21st century’s first life cycle. This is the time when the old century’s energy is still subconsciously affecting our psychology, while our nervous systems try to navigate the polar shift from the old dominant yang paradigm into the awakening yin.
It is my hope that beginning 2026, as we start the 21st century’s second life cycle, the truly positive feminine and masculine qualities will work together more harmoniously. I foresee more humility and discernment in humanity as we learn to incorporate heightened sensitivity with grounded common sense decision making.
2025 is a year of dying to that which no longer works and allowing a noble new paradigm to reveal itself.
