The omnipotent O is one of the more vastly open energies in the alphabet, while the S is quite sensually grounded...kinda like a sssssssnake! What does it mean if your have either in your name?
If you have followed any of my previous articles on Chaldean numerology and the meanings of the alphabet, you will be familiar with the idea that each letter in your name holds a series of specific meanings and energies and can be divinationally 'read' (a practise called onomancy). This time around, I am going to expose the 'O' for the omnipotent, omnifarious ovoid that it is...this one has so many meanings and layers (like an onion) and connections that it is almost ridiculous. But I shall give it my best shot.
The O encompasses everything and nothing. It is the inside and the outside. It is the pea on your plate and the pie in the sky. It is the clock on the mantel and the sun on high. It is the wheel on your car and the coin in your pocket. It is all and it is nothing. It is the pregnant woman and the tiniest cell. It is the snake eating its tail and the ouroboros of the Milky Way. It is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end: life and death. It is the kaleidoscope, the telescope, the camera and the portal. It is infinity and it is the never ending circle of existence. And it is a choice. Open the door or close the door. In or out; all or nothing.
Okay. You're clear on this, right?
The O holds such a vast expanse of meanings and potentialities that it can be difficult to grasp. The bottom line is that 'openings' are presented and it is up to the name holder to take a step beyond their comfort zone and experience all that this energy presents. The letter O is ruled by the number 7, which is all about logic, practicality and intellect but contains an alternate challenge, which is to use the intellect to explore the enigmatic and esoteric. When the incredible orbit of the O is meshed with the mystical powers of the (protected occult) energy of the 7 - well, let's just say that anyone with an O in their name will be an interesting person, indeed. That is, if they are not caught up in the center of the circle and unable or unwilling to step out of routine and into the unknown. If this is the case, and most unfortunately, it is so with many Os, frustration and a sense of confinement and dissatisfaction will be almost palatable in the holder's life. The O demands expanse, or, a widening of the lens, so to speak. The O is an open eye that wants to 'take in' all that it can, experience everything, investigate, stimulate and accommodate all aspects of this reality while remaining open to the mysterious and intangible.
A well developed O energy will be receptive, curious, engaging, charming, fearless, adventurous, entertaining and interested in subjects ranging from cerebral to silly, mundane to extraordinary and fundamental to cosmic. Since the O is also the open mouth, it will love to eat, speak and perhaps even sing. Its expressive talents can create outstanding artists (Tony Onley, Georgia O'Keefe, Yoko Ono), musicians (Roy Orbison, Gilbert O'Sullivan) and public figures (Barack Obama, Oprah).
The O character is social, intuitive, adaptable and independent and due to the brainiac influence of the 7, spends a great deal of its time thinking, planning and projecting. Its desire to know more is constant: once the O has understood that objectivity and wisdom are its tools of trade, it will step into its true power and nothing and no one will stand in its way.
Which leads me to the next point. As everyone knows, there is always the 'other' side , or the negative aspect of any energy. The O is no exception. If this potent force is denied and subjugated, the holder will feel frustrated, bored and even angry. They are, metaphorically, trapped within their own 'circle' and bound by restrictions they have set up themselves. Understandably, this type of O energy may well be ornery, opposing, obtuse, odd, oblivious and just plain oppressive. It would be safe to say that this kind of temperament would also be stuck in the logical side of the ruling number 7, which would create a suffocating sense of obligation within a rigid structure, a combination that would only aggrandize the level of frustration and sense of 'missing something'.
The O is naturally the seeker: one who desires to find and explore the various dimensions of existence beyond the norm- its natural inclination is to cover great distances and effect many people in many ways. When this desire is contained and suppressed, it will build up and compress over time, often erupting into impulsive actions like quitting a job, leaving a spouse or hopping a slow boat to China. (Or worse - consider Lee Harvey Oswald or O.J. Simpson.) The wise O does not allow this energy to become their jailer: they slowly recognize and acknowledge their subconscious longings and eventually find the strength to follow their dreams and to go where they are pulled. Or pushed. To free themselves and follow their path, the O must have faith (in a higher power), heed their inner voice and learn to take risks. Monotony is their worst enemy. (And look at all the Os in that word!)
In closing, I'd like to go back to the word omnipotent. To me, this word carries an ambiance of divine unrestriction, a sense that all things are possible...this is exactly the essence and definition of the positive O.
It is the Cosmic Door...and God is knocking.
Of all the letters in the English alphabet, the S is the only one I might view as slightly schizophrenic in tone and meanings. While it is strictly ruled by the five senses of man, it is also open in structure: the upper hook reaches into the future and the lower hook reaches into the past. As an ancient symbol, the S is connected to the snake, or the Kundalini (the support system of the spine) and is the symbol of success, so it spends its time perpetually seeking satisfaction through the senses, but is usually unaware that what it seeks is not available through the traditional five senses of man. The lesson for this letter (which is supported by the number 3 - physical and mental activity) is to awaken to the sixth sense. The S is truly the student who looks outside of itself for answers that lie INside the self and are made available through the INtuition. It seeks the serenity of spiritual stillness, but is often caught up in the endless outside search.
The S is very 'switchable' and contains a series of opposites as inherent to the whole. It can start or stop, sink or swim, speak or be silent. It can dress up as Santa or dress down as Satan, can appear smart or stupid, sober or skunked. It can be as sweet as sugar or as sour as sweat. With so many potentialities, contradictions and forms, the S can leave one spinning, slipping, sliding or just plain stumped. To put it succinctly, this character can be the saint or the sinner.
The sinner can be slick, sneaky, shallow, and sublimely scintillating. It can sparkle and shine so seductively that it can become virtually hypnotic to others who find its sexy, secretive and soporific style irresistible. The soft, shy and silky S can be a cover for almost anything, from the S&M scallawag who loves the tickle and slap, to the slimy scoundrel of a businessman who is exceedingly shrewd, sharp and slick or even to the despondent slave to the senses, the one who surrenders to the siren call of sensory addiction and slips into the shadowy world of self-medication, suffering, shame and sorrow.
The saint, on the other hand, will be solid, steady, secure and safe, although it might still seek stimulation of the senses through more acceptable outlets, like sports. The physical S may like to ski, scuba dive, skate, skydive, sail and play shuffleboard and snooker on the side. And have sex as dessert. The developed S is open to the higher plane and is aware of their soul and intuition. They are still hypnotic, but for different reasons that have more to do with spiritual connection and growth. In the last scenario, this energy elevates from the saint to the serious and studious sage. But what does all of this mean to someone with an S or two in their names?
First of all, most S energies are a blend; a balance between the saint and the sinner. Which is to say, they are normal manifestations of this letter vibration and thus will be highly susceptible to their senses and naturally attracted to anything that stimulates the eyes, ears, nose, mouth or touch. Pleasing art or scenery, music or sound, smells or scents, food or sustenance, touch or sensation will be seductive and appealing.
A strong S (someone whose name begins with an S, or someone with two or more S energies in their entire name) will be very active, either in the brain or in the body or in both, which will usually lead them to success at some point in their lives. Since the S is open to so many influences, its attention span can be sporadic and prone to shifting as new elements are constantly entering its realm, but that openness also provides for a good memory and a nonjudgmental attitude as well as adaptability, a charming social persona and an understated eloquence.
Often artistically talented, the S may be an outstanding singer, musician, visionary, illustrator, speaker or actor. It works best on its own and truly does seem to sing and dance to its own tune. Like a snake, this energy will take whichever approach deemed necessary to achieve its goals, whether they be romantic, business or otherwise. And also like a swift or stealthy snake, the Sssss is capable of camouflaging itself; of blending into the background until it is ready to strike. Due to an overall appeal to the opposite sex, a strong S can easily become involved with more than one paramour at a time...which can cause sticky and sad situations on the home front.
The S is an intriguing combination of sensuality, sensitivity, spirituality and secrets...when the imagination, intuition and alternate levels of reality the 6th sense represents are assimilated and used, this letter can herald success (which is suggested by the $ sign) that is quite apparent to others...consider Susan Sarandon, Steven Spielberg and Sharon Stone....or the sensual seductress of 1001 Arabian Nights, Shahrazad.
The S speaks for itself...but one needs to listen very carefully to its story, for it contains the past and the present, the silence and the scream and the subtle hiss of the slithering snake...
And all of that in the letter S. Who knew.
everything is exactly as it should be...relax
