2022 — The Reckoning of Care — Universal Year 6
2022 was a Universal Year 6 — the number of responsibility, home, healing, community and the obligations we carry toward each other. Following the upheaval of 2021's 5 energy, the 6 year asked hard questions about what we owe and to whom. The world's most significant event of 2022 — Russia's invasion of Ukraine — was in many ways a 6 energy in crisis: the destruction of homes, families and the bonds of community on a massive scale.
Numerological lens
Universal Year 6 (2+0+2+2=6) governs home, family, responsibility, service and harmony. Its shadow is the exposure of where care has failed, obligations have been denied, and community has been fractured. 2022 was a year of stark contrasts: extraordinary solidarity alongside extraordinary cruelty, all organised around the question of what we owe each other.
