IN the occult science of numerology, it is said that, “He who understands the number 13 will be given power and dominion.
“It is a number of upheaval and destruction; a symbol of power which, if wrongly used, will wreak havoc and destruction upon itself.”
Astronomically, on July 4, the longitude of the Sun is 12° Cancer in the Heavens, and on this date the sun conjoins the great star Sirius, whose longitude is 13° Cancer.
Sirius is a first-magnitude star that is 40 times brighter than the sun and is the star that rules all African people.
It was venerated in ancient Egypt from time immemorial and was held in great reverence by the ancient Egyptians because it rose heliacally with the sun at dawn during the inundation of the Nile River, the lifeline of ancient Egypt.
In astrological parlance, it is said: “If the great star Sirius is well-placed in a horoscope, it will contribute to the amassing of wealth and the acquisition of fame and honour.”
Sirius conjuncts the sun in the horoscope of the US, in the second house of money and material possessions.
The Part of Fortune is 13° Capricorn – opposing the sun and Sirius – in the eighth house of other people’s resources!
These powerful cosmic patterns explain, astrologically, the great wealth of this country (much of which was acquired through the ignominious practice of slavery).
Cancer is the fourth sign of the Zodiac and it rules the continent of Africa, its inhabitants and people, the world over, of African descent.
The moon rules Cancer and is therefore the cosmic ruler of all African people.
The average celestial motion of the moon is 13° per day and 13 weeks is the time it takes the earth to travel from the equinoxes to the solstices.
For example, it takes the earth 13 weeks to travel from the first day of spring (March 20) to the first day of summer (June 21); 13 weeks from the first day of summer to the first day of fall (September 23); 13 weeks from the first day of fall to the first day of winter (December 21); and it takes the earth 13 weeks to travel from the first day of winter to the first day of spring (13×4=52, which is the time it takes (in weeks) the earth to make one complete revolution around the sun and in most years lunations (i.e. conjunctions between the sun and moon) occur 13 times.
It is the moon that controls menstrual cycles and thus conditions mankind’s life processes.
The fear of the number 13 is therefore unfounded.
It is an honoured number in many countries throughout the world.
There are 13 occurrences of the quantity 13 in the design of the Great Pyramid of Gizeh in Egypt, the largest stone edifice ever built.
In the Indian Pantheon, there are 13 Buddhas, all representing African priesthood. The mystical discs that surmount Indian and Chinese pagodas are 13 in number.
Enshrined in the Temple of Atsuta in Japan is a sacred sword with 13 objects of mystery forming its hilt.
And 13 was the sacred number of the ancient Mexicans – they had 13 snake gods. The 13th letter of the English alphabet is ‘M’, which finds its roots in the 13th letter of the Hebrew alphabet, ‘mem’ (meaning mother), which was the ancient Phoenician word for water.
And remember Phoenicians stole a lot from African philosophy.
The ancient Egyptian word for water was ‘moo’.
‘M’ is the most sacred of all the letters, for it symbolises water, where all life begins.
It is the root of the word ‘mother’.
I am sure you know how invaluable motherhood is to Africans.
Even the name Moses is derived from this African background.
It means ‘saved by water’.
Number ‘13’ is therefore an auspicious number.
Hence Africans looked forward to the year 2013 with all hope for prosperity.
It is a year we looked forward to a complete transformation of our lives for the better given the proliferation of our minerals as well as the emerging consciousness about our cultural renewal.
Long live Africa!
Long live Zimbabwe!
Then there is the eye known as the ‘Eye of Providence’ which is surrounded by rays of light representing the care or benevolent guidance of God or nature; God as the guiding power of the universe.
The single eye shows up in Egyptian mythology as the Eye of Horus, an ancient god of the Egyptians.
The eye represented wisdom, health and prosperity.
That ‘all-seeing eye’ is a symbol of freemasonry, a fraternal organisation of the founding fathers who believed in masonic principles and wanted to impose masonic order on the US and the world at large.
Here are the other symbols on the Great Seal.
On the obverse side is the bald eagle as the prominent feature of the design.
The shield, or escutcheon, is shown on the breast of the eagle without any support, indicating the self-reliance of the US.
Thirteen red and white stripes appear on the shield, signifying the 13 original states, deliberately made 13 because of its powerful symbolism.
The red colour represents hardiness and valour while the white represents purity and innocence.
These stripes support and unite with the top blue band, which represents Congress. Blue signifies vigilance, perseverance and justice.
The eagle’s talons hold 13 arrows in the left and an olive branch in the right.
These symbolise the power of war and peace respectively.
The number of arrows represents the 13 original states.
The constellation of 13 stars (states) above the eagle’s head signifies the US’ rank among other sovereign powers.
The motto, ‘E Pluribus Unum’, written on the banner held in the eagle’s beak, is Latin meaning ‘Out of many, one’, conveying the union of the States.
The reverse side has the prominent pyramid.
The eye is in the triangle above the pyramid.
The Roman numerals, MDCCLXXVI, appear on the base of the pyramid and translate to 1776, the year of independence.
Above the ‘eye’ are the Latin words ‘Annuit Coeptis’.
This translates to ‘He has favoured our undertakings’.
Below the pyramid are the Latin words ‘Novus Ordo Seclorum’, meaning ‘A new order of the ages’, or ‘new world order’ referring to the birth of the US in 1776 as well as the American unipolar ambition to control the whole world.
Notice the many references to the number 13.
The number 13 is a karmic number and is the number of upheaval so that new ground can be broken.
The number 13 has great power.
If this power is used for selfish purposes, it will bring destruction of the self, and in turn, this will bring disease and illnesses.
Adapting to change gracefully will bring out the strength of the 13 vibration and decrease any potential for the negative.
