What to do when someone you love changes their name
One of my wonderful clients recently asked me if I had ever written a guide on how to navigate someone else’s name change, I hadn’t yet so I’m rectifying that today!
This is a blog you can share with people leading up to or after your own name change. Or if you're reading the blog because someone in your life has changed their name this will help you support and understand the different energies at play. It’s also helpful to see the common pitfalls so you can avoid them.
First off, some...

The Numerology Forecast - July 2020
We’re seven months into the revolutionary year of
We’re still all feeling the retrograde effect of Mercury for the first week and a half of the month and the slower introverted energy can be triggering to move through. While Venus went direct on June 25th there is still lots of backward movement in the sky and if you find yourself stuck mentally, emotionally, or financially please just keep swimming and trust that new waves will come to lift you up.
Are you feeling the slowdown of Mercu...

Quickie: The life lessons and goals for your base number
I love going deep and get into every facet of a client's base number and life lessons but sometimes we just need a quick reminder of our core drives to get back on track. So I made a little series for you on the life lessons and goals for each of the 9 base numbers in numerology. You can find the single gifs of each base number on my

The Numerology Forecast - June 2020
Take a deep breath with me and let the new energy of June wash over you. Exhale and let this month become a new beginning. We’re leaving many heavy things behind in May and finding new space within the framework of outer constraints.
You get to choose to tend to your roots or your brave new leaves in the coming weeks. No matter where you put your focus it will be worthwhile. June is a breath of fresh air and it can feel like time moves a lot faster all of a sudden. We’re in Gem...

Diversity, Inclusivity, and Activism
It's Friday night and the City of Los Angeles has declared an overnight curfew. I've felt the tension and listened to the sirens and the circling police helicopters all day.
I want to amplify the voices of black and brown people in light of the recent events highlighting racial injustice in the USA. I'd like to provide resources and perspective for you to dive into. I know it can be overwhelming for all of us (for different reasons) to figure out what we should be doing in a situatio...

The Numerology Forecast - May 2020
I know time seems to stretch and morph weirdly these days but May is here and with that a new global vibration for us all to share! This is an important month in 2020 as many planets will join the retrograde squad for a spell.
The overall theme of May has to do with endings. Wrapping up old projects, coming to terms with a new status quo, and clearing out everything that no longer fits your life.
Pluto went retrograde at the end of April and rules internal transformation and rebirth. It ...

The Numerology Forecast - April 2020
How are you treating and looking after yourself in these changing times? I’ve been in contemplation mode. I wondered back when I wrote The Numerology Forecast for 2020 if sharing about the lower end of the spectrum of a 4 year like 2020 would be helpful. I still wonder if writing about the darker aspects of a global vibration will be a useful thing to focus on going forward. When I look back at other 4 years like 1930, 1993, and 2011 that also held major challenges and changes for the world I don’t think people would have changed their behavior or thinking had they been told that upheaval was coming our way. Even when a year has change written all over it can be hard to prepare for. In The Numerology Forecast for March, I talked about learning more about your spiritual crushes. If you have a lot of time on your hands in April I invite you to dive into them still. The lessons and values pulled from the struggles of your favorite historical and mythical heroes and heroines are extremely helpful for navigating this time. Who do you want to emulate? How do you want to help, grow and inspire others? One of the areas that April highlights are the clearing of and working with your own karma. Even if everything seems uncertain and plans feel silly to make, it’s still valuable to think about the course your life is taking. What are the actions you take every day and where are they leading you. How do you serve while pursuing your purpose? If you look at the line from where you are right now and its trajectory towards your big-picture-dreams are there consistent actions that you need to change or remove to achieve them? What does the bravest version of your future look like? Who would you have to become to get there? There is deep introverted energy available to us in April and many of the breakthroughs that will happen later this year will sprout from seeds planted this month. It’s not the time to travel or take too many spur-of-the-moment decisions. On an energetic level, it’s time to tend to your creative roots and that often means creating in silence and solitude. Be mindful of the kind and amount of content you consume. See how your creativity unfolds when it’s nurtured by you alone. If you are surrounded by family and people consistently this coming month you can observe how the patterns of karma are playing out not just in your own but in the lives of others. What are the repeated words that turn into stories and in turn into beliefs and expectations that surround you? How are you speaking about your own vulnerability, as a gift or a burden? On a global level, we’re burning through some serious build-up of fear - an emotion that most people try to avoid at all costs. We’ve built a lot of structures around ourselves to keep it at bay and yet the current global situation means that we have to deal with it. Feel it, allow it and move through it. This is not a test of your survival skills but more a chance to see your mind in action. There is no judgment here if you’ve felt the need to stock up on everything. We have a world war in our recent collective memory so the surge of energy that runs through you has probably run through your parents and grandparents too. You’ll make it through this and be stronger for it. I’ve updated my free resources page for you and wanted to re-share this recorded online class ‘Numerology 101: Unlock your purpose!’ from just before A Little bit of Numerology came out. I was a guest speaker in Alexia Anastasio’s ‘Create Yourself‘ series. I love seeing how the world situation is sharpening many of my clients’ focus when it comes to taking action on the life change they want. Nothing like some rebellious global energies to making you step into a bigger vision. I’ve created a new session: The Personal Numerology Map if this is you! Stay safe and creative in the coming month and let me know if I can support you in any way. 100% Love Novalee Wilder Professional Numerologist + Author PS: Have you listened to The Numerology Podcast yet?

Quarantine tips from a solo entrepreneur
This blog post is coming from the same place it's always coming to you from = my home office. I've had chats with friends and clients this week about what staying mostly within the confines of our homes can do to our mood, sense of self and motivation. That's why I'm here to help on the most practical level I can, as someone who works from home I've got a few tips I'd love to share with you! These tips are also great if you're already a creative/freelancer or struggle with motivation. Now before you start on the tips I would like to address the current emotional climate we're also constantly walking around in. In Numerology, we look at a 4 year like 2020 and how it brings upheaval, change and on a certain energetic level the right set up for a revolution. That means that many things will fall and change and these things will affect you on multiple levels. It's always possible that a break-down can turn into a break-through. If you find yourself spiraling I recommend EFT to bring you back to solid ground. Gala Darling and Brad Yates both did free EFT videos recently on the coronavirus where all you need to do is follow along. I shared some tips in the last email that I'd use the first part of the quarantine days to decompress and tend to your inner child. But there may come a time where you want to shift gears and feel more productive, that's what the following tips are for. 1. Plan your top three daily tasks ahead of time. Do the one you dread the most first. Play the rest by ear. It's too easy to get swept up in cleaning, scrolling, eating, doodling and all the procrastinating that your home is usually host to. It's also too overwhelming to tackle everything in one day. Take a moment right now to pull out a piece of paper or your calendar and make a list of the three most important things you want to get done tomorrow. Give them approximate time windows and then be done with it. Do this every night so you can just get up and start. Getting the ball rolling is the most important. Sub tip. Batch similar tasks you have to do in a week into one big chunk like you would a meal plan. If you have to create content/shoot pictures/videos/plan out projects - batch it all together. 2. Meal plan or at least double batch every meal you cook. You might suddenly be cooking a lot more these weeks and if you're in the groove with a creative project switching gears to survey the pantry and figuring out what to eat will take you away from it. Don't forget to get your hydration going, as you see in the pic above I always have a few glasses already lined up when I get to my desk. 3. Shower, dress and act like you're not going to spend all day at home. Your productivity falls if you're giving your brain all the signals of another day on the couch. Make an effort to start the day in whatever version of a working-from-home-outfit that you wouldn't mind actually walking out the door in. Put on jewelry and wear perfume if you'd like. 4. Schedule social breaks. Be mindful of not just scrolling but actually write and call your friends and family. Make sure you get some social interactions in and make sure to only do long calls that might affect your energy AFTER you've crossed off at least one of your big tasks for the day. 5. Plan a clocking out time and a reward for yourself. My brain is usually kinda rubbish at more complex tasks around 4 pm so I make sure to plan my day accordingly and have an episode of a favorite TV-show or delicious dinner already waiting for me. This, plus moving away from my desk, signals to my body and brain that we're done for the day. 6. Get your sleep. I try to switch from phone and laptop to a kindle or book later in the evening. Give your eyes a break and try to keep a steady night and morning routine so you're not slowly turning to a night owl - unless that's totally your thing then go for it! 7. Move your body. This might be the most important. Take a 5-minute dance break at least once a day. Give yourself the reward of a walk or work out. Follow a yoga video on YouTube. Stretch your neck, shoulders, arms, and wrists if you work a lot at a computer. Put something physical as one of your 3 daily tasks and plan the time to do it. This lifts your mood way more than anything else if you consistently take care of your body. This is a great time to work on creative projects, passive income streams, that book or screenplay you've been thinking about or any kind of passion or dream. Plan for action and clarity to make the most of your days. Practice gratitude for the roof over your head and the time to dive deep. If you have to take care of your kids or other people invite them to take part in your daily schedule. Don't try to force anything but make them help pick that afternoon reward, take part in the cooking and enjoy dancing or moving together. If you have a partner see if you can take shifts so you both have some time to work uninterrupted on your tasks. Let me know if you implement any of these tips and how it affects your days! I love hearing from the people who have found their way from The Numerology Podcast's lastest episode on Numerology and Business to my new mini-course Numbers That Sell.

On some level, it could seem that the world is going to hell in a handbasket. I know that the news and social media sites are full of doom, graphs, emergency supply lists, capital letters and songs that implore us all to wash our hands. Many people are offering spiritual and practical perspectives on the current coronavirus outbreak and containment. But my experience with fear, paranoia and scare tactics tells me that laughter, release, and re-focusing on our inner world are more helpful than hoarding toilet paper or canned beans. Be compassionate with yourself and others that might process things differently than you. I suggest you take time to supply your inner child with as many wonderfully creative and adventurous things to do. Reread your favorite books, optimize the coziness of your home, build pillow forts and bake something from scratch. Thrust yourself into the present moment by getting into nature or just go for a walk while listening to your favorite podcast. Calm yourself by consuming food and creations that feel comforting and well-known. If you want to stay informed but limit your scrolling, get your info from a place like Information Is Beautiful. This too shall pass and if you'd like to take action to make the future brighter for us all here are some things you can do to support it: order food from you local Chinese/Asian restaurant, order supplies from independent stores, instead of asking for a refund on a booking see if you can use it toward future purchases. Tip well and share the resources you have. Check-in with friends, family, and anyone who might self-quarantine to stay safe. 100% Love Novalee Wilder Professional Numerologist + Author PS: In the newest episode of The Numerology Podcast, I’m sharing how I use Numerology in my business, pricing, titles, products, launch dates and more.
