In this captivating conversation with numerology expert Remington Donovan, we journey into the mystical world of numbers and discover how they can reveal profound truths about ourselves. What if the numbers that keep appearing in your life are actually messages from the universe? What if your birthdate holds the key to understanding your soul's purpose? 

Remington shares his extraordinary upbringing in an ashram founded by Swami Satchidananda, where he was immersed in spiritual teachings from childhood. This unique background led him to explore Western hermetic mysticism and ultimately develop his expertise in numerology. With disarming humility and clarity, he breaks down complex concepts into practical wisdom anyone can apply.

Discover how your birthday creates a personal numerology chart that reveals your soul number, karma, gifts, and life path. Learn why those with soul number 10 possess "star power" that thrives when expressed outwardly, and why those with life path 8 carry abundant healing energy. Remington explains what it means to be in a "nine year" in 2025 – a time of subtlety, refinement, and mastery that calls for a deeper, more sensitive awareness in everything we do.

The conversation takes fascinating turns as Remington shares the story of unexpectedly delivering his daughter and previews his upcoming book on angel numbers – those mysterious repeating sequences like 333 or 777 that appear in our lives with uncanny timing. He emphasizes that numerology isn't about predicting the future but providing a framework for self-discovery: "Know thyself. The numbers help you do that."

Whether you're a numerology enthusiast or completely new to the concept, this episode will transform how you think about the numbers in your life and open your eyes to the subtle messages the universe might be sending your way.

He has a company called the Mystical Arts Mystery School, so he is just a wealth of information and I had the pleasure of being on let's call it a Zoom call of education about numerology as we started to enter the nine year, and I got to listen to him and I just found him so fascinating so I reached out to ask him to be a guest to educate us about numerology and also talk about his new books, which is Angel Numbers, which is, oh, I'm so excited. So, remington, welcome to the House of Germar podcast.

Speaker 1:

Gene, thank you very much. I love doing this. I love talking especially about numbers and sharing. Thanks for getting a numerology. You're having a double nine you just revealed, so we might have to share some of those secrets with your audience.

Speaker 2:

We can, we can. So, before we talk about it being a nine year, I'd love to share a little bit about you and your background. And how did you, you know, become the master of numbers? Let's call you.

Speaker 1:

Well, okay, First just disclaimer I have teachers that said I'm a master numerologist, so it's not a self-imposed title and a lot of that was a lesson, that if a teacher sort of declares that, you just humbly say OK, yes, All right, so it's not like full of you know S-H-I-T. But I spell out swear words now.

Speaker 2:

I was going to say because you have little kids.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, we just had. My wife just gave birth, like three weeks ago, congratulations, which is a crazy story because I wound up delivering the baby. But yeah, well, I grew up. You know, I grew up in a literally an ashram that was founded by Swami Satchitananda and he was one of the big Indian gurus that came over in the 60s during the, you know, the hippie movement, and he helped open the Woodstock concert, you know, in New York, and he was always giving talks about peace. I really attribute Satya Nanda for having yoga as we know it be as big as it is in the West and they sort of established some of the first teachers, trainings and things like that. And I actually the ashram that I mostly grew up on is started in New York City and was in Connecticut and then eventually relocated. So I mostly grew up in Connecticut on a like ashram commune.

Speaker 1:

But I grew up learning about all these different religions, spiritual stories. I had to teach yoga as a seven year old, so I learned all this, not just yogic philosophy. The kind of the message at that time was world peace, you know, hey, all religions are essentially saying the same thing. Truth is one, you know, paths are many. You know I'm really sort of the first, some of the first generation in this country, just sort of born into that and we had our own school. So I grew up literally meditating, listening to mantras, learning being around. You know, a teacher at that level learning it's not just like the pose, it's his entire lifestyle. You know my homework assignments were like paint pictures of Buddha becoming enlightened.

Speaker 2:

You know I'm like seven years old your average American childhood?

Speaker 1:

Yes, yeah, totally Really. There was a part of me that wanted to be very red blooded American. It was like the zeitgeist of, like I'm a little boy and like Kiss was popular and you know, star Wars and things like that. I wanted to join the Boy Scouts but, you know, for that I might as well become like an imperialist war criminal or something, compared to all these monks meditating. But you know, so I grew up, you know, immediately exposed to many different spiritualities, different traditions. I, you know, I had to meet from like Catholic monks to rabbis, to clerics, to Shinto priests, like the list goes on. So I I feel that my interest in this is actually very natural, Like I still believe I chose that incarnation.

Speaker 1:

But then as a teenager, I started to just find my own way with things that would be considered more quote Western, and that sort of started me down a road of exploring, you know, ancient European traditions, you know witchcraft, the pagan roots, and then that eventually led me to mystical Kabbalah, hermetic mysticism, and that's a lot of the foundation of the numerology that I do. But, you know, mystical Kabbalah seamlessly incorporates astrology, tarot, numerology, and not, as you know, mechanisms of forecasting, but more as tools to unravel the mystery of your soul. So ultimately that's what it's for, but it's also you got to be able to apply this practically right, otherwise it's just heady philosophy that you can really get lost in it. As a teenager I literally found my way into being taught where a lot of this is handed down, it's taught in secret, there's books out there, but a lot of it's not even in the books. So and then I kind of, just, living in Los Angeles, it turns out growing up on an ashram, dedicating your life to studying an obscure, you know Western hermetic mysticism is like a tangible skill set that is marketable. So LA really helped me open that up. And then I had clients and I do a lot of one-on-one sessions and things like that and then I started writing the books.

Speaker 1:

So numerology is just like it's all integral as like a mysticism. The mystic in the magical tradition, which is sort of my upbringing, the mystic in the magical tradition, which is sort of my upbringing like as more formally I chose more as an adult, is the uniter. So there's like no difference within all of these different traditions. So you know it really just from birth. This has been my whole interest and like sometimes I think was this because I was just born and this was what I was exposed to, but I really believe I chose it because I was already pre-interested for many lifetimes. I turned it into a thing and even a career, because I think I do it in a very practical way where it makes a difference. So numerology is so layered that each number just unlocks so many different mysteries and points of interest that your consciousness and your mind can go off and tell a story and ultimately to reveal something about you know thyself. The numbers help you do that.

Speaker 2:

So interesting. So I have read your book, your numerology book. I read the whole thing on a Saturday. I just was so engrossed in it all and I commend you because you've made it a fairly complex subject. You've made it pretty easy to at least understand and understand how it impacts different facets of your life pretty quickly, so that people can dip their toe into understanding what numerology is.

Speaker 1:

Thank you. That's like the best compliment for me, because I was taught like you always have to like if you say you're doing a reading for somebody. But I was taught always assume nobody knows anything. They've never even heard the word numerology. They don't even know what a number is, let alone Mars, and what that means in astrology or something, and what that means in astrology or something. So I was very much like taught and trained how to speak in a way that is accessible and not just this far off, ultra heady.

Speaker 1:

You know intellectual notion. What does this even mean to your life? How is the number five relates to brushing your teeth? You know something like that? It's a destructive, forceful number. Right, you could use that for vengeance and anger, but you know you're like get to cleaning your teeth. It's the same thing. It's a scouring pad or a sword. I know a lot of like literature degree people and writers more in the literature vein, not like teaching, and they think the same way. I've noticed Because mystical, you're just literally connecting all these dots and it's like what we were talking about and I thought we were recording how numerology helps you. Your job is to create a story around it and what does that story mean for you?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, so let's explain one thing for people. So your book starts off with your birthday, and from that you end up being able to form a chart about different numbers related to your birthday.

Speaker 2:

So, just at a high level, because this podcast will come out before your second book. So I want people to go buy your first book and then they can buy your third book when it comes out later. But so, just to back up, so explain to us the, let's say, the symbolism of your birthday and how the dates of your birthday and when you were born can translate to a numerology chart.

Speaker 1:

Yeah. So first let me state that it comes with a little caveat of the sort of viewpoint that your soul chose that birthday Right. Somebody's listening. They're going to be like well, numerology numbers are just a construct imposed by the patriarchy and you know whatever. Now we we go by the you know Gregorian calendar that we use. But there's also no coincidence in numerology. That's like the first, there's no coincidence and there's no rules, and I'll explain that later. But as far as your birthday, you get like a chart similar. Most people are familiar. They have an astrology chart or whatever. I'm a Scorpio and then I have a rising sign and things like that. So based on that, really simply, you have like the day you're born is your sole number. What day of the month are you born on?

Speaker 2:

I'm born on the 10th.

Speaker 1:

Okay, so you're a 10. 10 is a number 10s and 11s, we keep them that way. I'm born on the 28th, so you add that up, I'm a 10. But that's your soul and that's sort of the essence of what you're trying to come into in this incarnation, right? So you're like, okay, there's just five numbers.

Speaker 1:

The month you're born is called the karma and that's just what you need to work on, right? So it's not like you know this heavy, you know the karma is a, you know a biatch, and then you die, kind of mentality. It's just like, hey, this is where you might need to address some more energy. And then you have the year that you're born, the two digits that becomes your gift, which are sort of just your divine talents. It's your reminder hey, use that. Then you have your experience number, which is the four digits. So everybody born in the same year has a similar frequency and those are lessons. And then you have your life path number, which a lot of people are familiar because you add up your entire birthday and don't forget that. Add up the four digit year, right? So if you're born in 1990, make sure you add all that up.

Speaker 1:

But all of those, your gift is your talent. The experience is like what you have brought to the table. You might be really good at it, but you might be really good at the negative side and I'll explain that. And then your life path is literally here's the path and the direction you go. So your soul number really, to me, says a lot because it's like your internal, it's like your sweet spot, like you're doing what you should be doing, like we're both. Tens and ten is the radiant body. It's more of a star. I call it the star power number. It's really about being. It's a little more extroverted, putting yourself out there, allowing yourself to be seen, and you'll see it. Like I can look at people and how they move their bodies and what they're doing.

Speaker 1:

I usually can pick out most of the numbers that they operate. But 10, like we both have podcasts, we kind of put ourselves out there Right. So I know from my story is that as I started to put myself out there, more things started to, doors started opening up. So you lean into this as a formula of success and every number has tremendous value. And when you have your simple little numerology chart, which is very easy to figure out, it gives you sort of a little base, a little instruction manual. That the reason I do it is. I found it profoundly accurate. I'm like, oh, these five numbers. And I'm like, wait, this is me Cause the negative side of 10 is being like I'm a total zero loser, like you know I'm saying that sort of an extreme, but it's like I shouldn't be doing something more with my life.

Speaker 1:

But here I am, like you know, a total putz or something like that. So every number can take a negative side. So where 10 should be confidence through a real place of real humility, that becomes tremendous confidence and you should shine and you should put yourself in probably more of a public profile to some degree. Now you might you know this could be you know, you go into a restaurant and there's always, like the star bartender, the star server, hostess or whatever host or whatever the case is. You'll see those people in action.

Speaker 2:

I'm just talking about tens, because we have that Because we are tens, but it's helpful and I, yeah, I felt the numerology chart the way it was described in your book. I did it for myself and for my daughter and I felt like it's so described our strengths and what I felt like our energy was and sort of like, yes, I do think like my life path. You know I'm an eight and I was like I really do think the description of a life path of an eight really defines me very well.

Speaker 1:

So that's improving, it's healing, it's adding energy and life. Right and you like. I had a client once and she was so fixated on this guy Right, which is always challenging because you're like.

Speaker 1:

I don't know, you know it also takes two to tango, right. So you know the charts might line up, but you know the stars haven't. Like it's just there's egos, there's, but this person was an eight and I was talking about this life force, energy. She's like what I don't understand. This person makes horror movies about like death, right, and I'm like, but that's exactly eight, you got life force. The other trajectory is is it a death force? But also it takes a lot of energy to create film, regardless of what it's about. She just didn't get it.

Speaker 1:

But my intention too, with this book and my other book coming out, which is just angel numbers, the me, hey, are you seeing 28? Or um, you know, 92, or three, three, three. What does it mean? Is to give like a. I say it, there's a springboard for your consciousness. So it's like here's some clues.

Speaker 1:

But this isn't like a set in stone spreadsheet of like unfixed, unmutable laws of the universe. There's here some general concepts and you're going to be able to take it to another level. But I'm so glad it resonated with you because that's like why I do it, like this is literally my living. Every time I do a reading I'm always like I still have a sense of wonder. Yeah, wow, wow, oh my God. Yeah, I nailed it, but I, you know, like this, where the other tool is that the practice itself is a meditation, it's a yoga and the practice opens up your consciousness. Where you come to those answers that's the real kind of point is, as you, as you practice it more, you just start becoming a numerologist and everything, not just like obsessively tracking numbers like a madman, like, or a mad woman, like I'm saying 25, 25, whatever there's like that Jim Carrey movie 23.

Speaker 1:

I don't know if you ever saw that, but it's always. That's what it's always like a mad. It's usually a madman, just like losing their mind. That's not what it is, it's more. You just start connecting. It's about synchronicity. Like I was talking to a I don't know, it was a year or two ago our mutual friend. They kept seeing like it was 777. I said, well, that's usually an opportunity for some sort of upgrade. And then all of a sudden you start talking about it, you do notice it more, but then something opens up, right, and she got like a big job, like a big offer on something.

Speaker 1:

I was like there, that's 777.

Speaker 2:

There it is, you know. Yeah, I see ones a lot.

Speaker 1:

Oh, I love one. One is in numerology charts is more rare, yeah, but if you're an eight like I could already tell that, like I could see you're 10, you have a quality, a glamour about you, you present well big energy, and then eight just adds more fuel to that. But it's like, at the end of the day, just the little bit that I know about you even perusing your website and things like that is you're trying to improve your healing. Yeah, sure, it's a journey. Healing doesn't have to be through medical or I'm a Reiki master or whatever the case is. It improves and energizes and makes something more vital. And do you have any sixes? I don't think so.

Speaker 2:

Hold on.

Speaker 1:

Six is like order and harmony.

Speaker 2:

I don't think I'm going to have any sixes. My daughter does, so hold on, and then we're going to switch, because then I want you to talk about the nine year.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, All right. Oh, but great story is my father-in-law, who's a great guy. I mean, he's like you know, he's got like the Boston accent. He's from that part of the country, kind of big energy, and he told me recently when I was finishing up the edits of my book the current book that I just sent off to my publisher is like Remington, I'm seeing 333 constantly, which is sort of a number that's coming up because there's still work to do. It's kind of like unresolved issues.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

And I let him read my chapter in the book and he was floored. He was like this is exactly what I'm going through and it was just administrative details with the business that he owns with his brothers and it's like unfinished, just it's paperwork in this case logistics and that's been pressing on him and there's been a gravitational pull that's sort of taking him out of his head too much until this gets done. And I'm like that's exactly three, three, three is just asking you to sort of roll up your sleeves address details, right. And so he read it. He's like, oh my God, this is exactly it. So this is my dream for this book to get feedback when people are like I'm seeing this number. This makes so much sense, so much sense.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, so OK, so I found the pages Right. So I'm going to interrupt you for one second because I'm just going to give you this intel. So you have it as we talk. So my soul is 10. My karma is eight. My gift is seven. My experience is eight. I'm a lot of eights.

Speaker 1:

Oh yeah.

Speaker 2:

And my life path is eight.

Speaker 1:

I have a friend with a similar amount of eights and he has to do things like hike the Appalachian Trail. That's a lot of energy or it's a lot of burnout, right. But your gift of seven because I mean, I know on the outside like you deal with a lot of design, right Well, seven, your natural talent is to beautify. That's what seven does. Seven makes the situation nicer and better. It's the number of upgrades that relates to Venus in astrology or mystical Kabbalah, which is beauty.

Speaker 1:

And it's funny because I have a lot of clients that are sevens that do things, whether it's art, design, a lot of hairstylists, makeup artists living in LA for a long time, makeup artists that are working on film sets and everything. But it's all about beautifying to some degree to uplifting others, or it's kind of like an emotional healer, a counselor, if you will. It creates hey, here's a safe space you can open up. How can I help you have a better, nicer life In ways that relate to nicety? And design is a big one. Art is a beautiful space to dwell in, yeah, and that totally makes sense. But eight is like that just gives you a lot of energy to like do many different things, whether you're podcasting, writing, books having clients, whatever the case is.

Speaker 2:

It describes me well, yeah.

Speaker 1:

It's just like fuel. It's kind of a simple like here's the fuel and if you lean that into sort of healing, you're here to just make things better for others and all of these different, but the way is to be a little bit more of a star with it. Right, that's your, your soul.

Speaker 2:

Which is fascinating, I don't want to interrupt you, but which is fascinating because personally, it just I'm expanding my brand, expanding my business, really trying to figure out where to focus more of my energy on, and I found it really helpful to read all of that because I feel very drawn to this mission to want to empower women and to empower women to become designers of their own lives, and that mission feels much larger to me than just interior design.

Speaker 2:

Interior design feels like a tiny little part where the mission with the podcast and speaking in books is so much broader. And as I was reading my chart and the characteristics of me according to the chart, I was like that's why it feels so aligned and that's why it feels like the right place for me and I really feel very drawn to that. When I was reading it and I just found it was really interesting because it explained a lot, because this is not what I used to do. I used to be in corporate America, so it just explained a lot about the things I feel drawn towards right now, at this stage of my life.

Speaker 1:

That's so wonderful to hear. The best thing I ever hear is when somebody it either confirms like a big life switch or people lean into something different. But yeah, I mean. But even like corporate America, especially if it related to finance but eight wants to build, it wants to expand. You know, I actually had a client once or they had all these eights.

Speaker 1:

And the thing is, eight doesn't mean you're going to be a healer, you're going to work in finance. But it opened up the message in my consciousness that I knew that this particular person wanted to lean into career bigger in finance, literally banking and things like that. And the guy just like this total, like on the surface square seeming guy, he just started like kind of tearing up a little bit. He just started like kind of tearing up a little bit and he's like that's actually what I want to do. But again, it's a go big number. So you need to be doing things where you keep growing. But you have this gift of seven that wants to also help others. So now you want to help others grow and come into their own and come into their own power in a bigger level. That's all big power, energy, all those eights and a 10, that has to go. That has to go big.

Speaker 2:

It's not even going home. It describes me very well. It describes me very well, so I appreciate that. So let's talk about nines, because we're in the year of a nine.

Speaker 1:

We are.

Speaker 2:

And somehow I'm a nine in the nine year, which I don't understand because nine doesn't appear anywhere in the rest of it. So I don't even understand that. But I'll let you explain it.

Speaker 1:

It's sort of like if you were born in that year.

Speaker 2:

Got it OK for most people.

Speaker 1:

There's even some deeper numbers that I didn't get into in the book, called your challenge, which is your, since this is in my book. You take your gift number, the two digits that you're born, plus your soul number the day sorry. You take your karma number plus your soul number, so your karma is eight, and then plus 10, which really is one. Well, that comes out to nine. So that's an area that you need more work on, and it just so happens to be that it's a nine year, right? So, not in my book I'm giving you a little more. This will probably be book four is your challenge number. Now, that's not like, oh, this is where you're going to have hardship. It's like your prompt, like, okay, I challenge you. Here's your 40 day challenge to you know, like whatever you know, meditate every day or whatever it is, or go jogging or something, but it's basically the number. Your number for the year is like if your birthday was that year, and then there's a mathematical formula Now, 2025, it's real simple. You add it up, right? You know, two plus two plus five, technically zero, but you know, so that equals nine, it's a nine year, and that hits the collective energy. So everybody's operating in this arena and then you have a personal number. Yours happens to line up.

Speaker 1:

So nine is it's the penultimate stop before your bigger goals come to fruition. And this also relates to a lot of the numbers are rooted in something known as the tree of life in a tradition, mystical Kabbalah. Now if you start Googling or looking up trees of life, you'll see all different traditions. I've been taught in a tradition that spells Kabbalah with a Q, q-a-b-a-l-a-h. I'm just saying that if you start Googling, you'll see slight variations. It's not that anybody's right or more right or wrong, they're just different schools. And nine is like is the area where all of creation. It's the last stop, it's the finishing, refining area before it becomes completely actualized, like manifest, some tangible asset, like big corporation, they have a new product launch.

Speaker 1:

Whatever the case is, the nine is where, okay, we got, we have it right, the test model, this and that, but now let's just go back over, let's, let's absolutely fine tune it in the yogic teachings. Nine is the number of subtlety, refinement, mastery, acuity. It's really a number of acuity. It's the master of all systems. So there's an elegance and a sophistication. So if you approach like in this nine year, it's very wide. It's like just maneuvering very sagaciously, like you have to apply a deeper, greater, more sensitive awareness. You can't just like brute. Eight is going to be more, I want to say brute force, but eight's just like there's no off switch.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it's just like, let's just go through. I got this. I got all the energy in the world. I can run a hundred mile marathon, but nine is going to ballerina. It it's more layered and I always kind of joke, but I'm already seeing it this year. The nine is so sensitive, right, it's deep psychic ability and it's an awareness. It's like hearing a pin drop your neighbor's house a half mile down the road. I live in Vermont. You know your neighbor's house, you know a half mile down the road. I live in Vermont, so it's a little more rural. But some people allow that. Sensitivity is a great strength and people misconstrued that as becoming overwhelmed, right, like a spiritual germaphobe, like, oh my God, everything. You're imploding and you become more brittle and fragile. So that's why it's important to just be delicate and wise. And what are the last things that you need to do in order to have the big goal come about? And it's a message to be more delicate. Again, I'm probably being super redundant. Whatever you're doing, apply more excellence. It's very sophisticated.

Speaker 2:

Right. You know, the bar is high. The bar is high.

Speaker 1:

The bar is high because, like through the eight energy, if you take that you learn the power and then you got so good at it you get to become a master at it, so you're not applying the same amount of energy. It becomes almost effortless. And nine is an effortless energy, but for a lot of people they're not at that level of mastery, whatever it is. So it's negative trajectory is just imploding, self-sabotage, like we started this year. I told people all throughout the eight year that follow my stuff I'm like you know nine year people get weird.

Speaker 2:

Beginning is going to be rough. The beginning was rough, I think for a lot of people, the beginning of this year was really rough.

Speaker 1:

It's like day one yeah, you're like terrorist attack. And then that weird cyber truck bombing thing. You're like, okay, this is like you're, it's your subconscious. So everything in a nine year hits your psyche in a more profound, deeper way. The magical degen of the subconscious is like this little child part of us. It doesn't necessarily distinguish real from fantasy and then it can blow everything out of proportion. That's what nine does. It blows everything out of proportion. It's like the princess and the pea, right, but that's also tells you.

Speaker 1:

If you're that sensitive and you you know, I think the moral of that story is it turns out she was like royalty or whatever. But if, if, like that little grain of sand somewhere is agitating you, if you convert that energy into look how this little bit has that much of a powerful trajectory, well, what if I just turn that on its head and say all I have to do is a little bit and that has a more powerful trajectory for success? So this is a year to set up your visions, what's happening in your psyche. So this like vision boards, great practice. I don't know if your listeners are open or-.

Speaker 2:

A lot of them are Into that. Yep, we've had people on talking about vision boards.

Speaker 1:

So, yes, okay, good, I wasn't sure how Yep.

Speaker 2:

I did a soul board this year too. Soul board was cool.

Speaker 1:

Wait, I love whatever that is. I have a sense of it, but I'd never heard of that. What is that? A?

Speaker 2:

soul board was really cool. So, on a totally different subject, folks, but this is cool. So I did a soul board with a woman called Tarot Lori. She goes by Tarot Lori, lori Dean is her name, and so she does this on Instagram. She's Tarot Lori on Instagram and she did a soul board class, which was very, very interesting.

Speaker 2:

You pull images. He only needed, like, two magazines. You pull images from the magazines that resonate with you, not because you say I want to go to Bali and I'm looking for the hut over the water, right, it's images that resonate with you. And then you sit and you look at the images and you it's like okay, what is your gut intuition? What do you feel about that image? What is that image trying to communicate to your soul? Not about what the thing is, it's what does it represent?

Speaker 2:

So, for example, I have an image that I picked from one of my magazines. It's a black and white room with a pink bench in it, and I just was really drawn towards it. I just think it's really cool and I like black and white, I like the simplicity of it, but the pink. But so when we started to talk about the pink, it was like that is resonating with you because it's outside the box. The pink is bright, it's a really bright light, it's shining. This aligns with, like the other things, of having your voice, getting your voice out into the world. Shining it's because it's bright and it's outside of the box in a black and white world, and so you were standing out and it was just such a fascinating exercise to go through. It just felt so much deeper to me than just I want to go to Bali, I want to make this money, I want to.

Speaker 2:

It's like no connect with your soul and figure out what is your soul trying to tell you that you want to do in this coming year.

Speaker 1:

I'd love that.

Speaker 2:

Right. And then out of that I came out with a mantra. She suggested I come up with a mantra and I did. I came up with a mantra which was flow and fly, which is my mantra, and I had engraved it's on a chain. It's on the board in my wall in my office. But it was something that I would have never come up with, that feeling and that soul mission for the year, for myself, or mantra for the year, just by looking at all the pictures of like I want to go to Greece, I want to go to London.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I want a second home.

Speaker 2:

I want a new Gucci purse.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I want an apartment.

Speaker 2:

I have one of those vision boards. I have one of those too, but it was just a really cool experience just a really cool experience.

Speaker 1:

Well, that's sort of the numerology in a sense, because as granular as you could get, it is also these broad spectrum energies and that are meant to resonate and hit with. Ultimately, it's your soul's purpose, which isn't stuff like the stuff comes in. It's really important. I mean, that's been a lot of. My personal journey is getting a lot better with money and things like that. Yeah, you grow up in an ashram where you know people are literally taking monastic vows like they're taking vows of poverty. So I'm conditioned to think well, you know, this is just the material world and blah, blah, blah. And it just took me a while to kind of get my act together and I feel like that left a negative imprint. You know, I mean sure It'd be nice, like I live in an ashram, saunter around, eat mangoes you know what I mean Like but that still requires money and earth and growing that. So people, there's a disconnect and when you're a child, this is a great year for something like that, because it's going to nine is all about your deeper, deeper psyche. It's the hidden realms, right, it's the number that's more mysterious, which can be befuddlement, but it's meant to be about going deeper into what maybe, like you said, what does that pink chair in a black and white room really mean? Like you said, what does that pink chair in a black and white room really mean? And I can tell you, I'm actually working on a course that I'm going to release this year on color magic, which ties into numerology, which will tie into angel magic, which will tie into astrology as well. And so what is pink or what's the black and white? So those colors, right there, I mean pink. You could loosely attribute that maybe to five, or you can combine red and white, and so there's a hidden numerology of that of six, which is about order as well. But anyhow, that's in the works. So I'm going to be releasing that this year because numerology ties into the color.

Speaker 1:

But, like you said, this is a good nine because everything has another layered meaning and, of course, you could be that other crazy person where everything's a sign and everything is a sign, like at nine, is you're a reminder that everything is actually connected, right? So that's why I'm like, oh, I'm like having all these tech glitches. I like there's a bunch of things around me that broke, that were all sort of like just glitchy things, like the door handle and I'm like, okay, it's an old door handle, I get it, but why did that like all the timing of now? I'm like, okay, I gotta go to the hardware store figure out how to be the handyman, cause it's like that's Vermont, you're just, you're on your own there.

Speaker 2:

The handyman that you're not. Yes.

Speaker 1:

I'm learning, I'm learning. You're learning, and it's a nine year. The nine energy again is is master, the master of all systems. So I should. This was an opportunity for me to apply the nine energy and say all right, how do I just install the new door handle and lock? That one's not too hard, but like these little.

Speaker 1:

You delivered a baby this year, so oh yeah, I didn't even get into that. That was nine. I totally we did. We were all set up for a home birth. Yeah, and my wife wakes me up, like you know, early morning. It's almost for a home birth.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and my wife wakes me up early morning. It's almost 3 am. She's like I'm having some contractions, but I'm going to probably just lie down. I probably could even sleep a little more and I was like, okay, I'm going to stay up, I'm making coffee. Then she asked me for some water.

Speaker 1:

I'm downstairs this is 30 minutes later, after she woke me up all of a sudden, the breathing, everything. I could hear her and I'm like messaging the midwife who's like 15 minutes away down the, literally, and I'm like, uh, this is seeming more significant. Now she's like, yeah, yeah, I can, I can come by, but you know, gina, my wife, she didn't. I don't want to invade her space. We, you know, we figured out this. This is probably it, but it's probably going to be later, like late morning, early afternoon type of thing. And all of a sudden I go up, I bring the water and then her water breaks and then all of a sudden, literally a few, 12 minutes later, she's like kind of in the type of part of the labor, and then a few minutes after that the midwife wasn't here. That's just, our daughter was born, like she birthed herself, she delivered herself, but it happened. So it was all within 45 minutes. That's crazy. And it was all within six minutes where I messaged the midwife and I'm like it's really escalating.

Speaker 2:

She's like yeah, I'm almost there 10 minutes away, but that's not fast enough 3.38.

Speaker 1:

I'm like she's here. And then I was like I'm an astrologer, numerologist. I was telling the midwife I'm like, look, the exact time of birth is very important to me. She has an assistant here, I am holding the baby and I'm like, oh shit. I was like I have to record the birth, I have to record it. So I realized I got it and I even looked because I was like, is it this? You know 37 or 38? And I actually looked at the difference in the chart. Yeah, sometimes a minute, and I was. I just knew intuitively because it all everything was so fast that even I was like, all right, I have the time, I don't have it down to the second. But I, that was a level of confidence and mastery that is nine, because the midwife wasn't here. Yeah, I had to take the baby, maneuver the umbilical cord, hand her to my wife, and I didn't. I was really calm about it.

Speaker 2:

Good for you Because, well, I don't think I would be, but good for you.

Speaker 1:

Well, because the paradigm is like either. It's always push, push, push, push. And I knew from our last child my biggest fear, what we did at home birth, was what if? What if he comes before the midwife, right? And she just said if he's coming that fast, that means everything's going really good, right? Yes, your problem's going to be if it went when it's longer. So of course there's always issues, problems happen. But that little bit of knowledge, it happen, but that little bit of knowledge. It's amazing how one little bit of knowledge you know sits in your brain. And then I don't know if it was the amplification of the nine year I was like oh yeah, it's happening really fast, everything's fine.

Speaker 2:

Like I got it.

Speaker 1:

And I just so. Then I'm kind of proud to be like, yeah, you know like I delivered her, but I was like, okay, so where are you? She's like I'm six minutes away, I just want vitals checked.

Speaker 2:

Right, you're like I need I do need some help, like, okay, yes, so let's switch gears and I want to hear more about your book that's coming out, the angel number book that you just finished writing. Talk to me a little bit about what that is. So you're giving the listeners a sneak peek into that book.

Speaker 1:

So the book that I just finished well, I finished the manuscript. There's always like edits and cleanup. We're working on the design Is angel numbers. Basically, we're still working with the. It's going to be something to the extent of what you're the message from your spirit guides, but angel numbers loosely. What is? Are you seeing this particular number? What does every number mean?

Speaker 1:

So the way I broke this book down, the popular ones and the ones that you know in our sort of modern zeitgeist people refer to are often the triple numbers. You know 777 or 1111, quadruple that's the big one, right 111. So I have longer chapters on those. And then I break down numbers one through 99. So this way, no matter what you can now and I teach in the book how numerology really is about storytelling you know two rules are there's no coincidence. So if a number is showing up like, why is that number? Why are you noticing that? You know and I get that there's that meme. Like you see 1111 on the microwave. Now you know your life's going good, but there's no coincidence. Why did you happen to look in the microwave at that moment?

Speaker 1:

This is the book I've been needing to write for so long. And if you know one through 99, so let's say you're moving into, you know 2589, you know Elm Street or whatever. Well, now you have these four digits. You could look at two, five, eight, nine. Chances are, I would suggest. Well, you say at 2589. So what does 25 mean? What does 89 mean? And you create a story and that says, hey, there's a frequency there, these spiritual concepts that are rooted in what these numbers mean.

Speaker 1:

I harmonized literally what is thousands of years that have been handed down and around of different mystery schools and traditions, the meanings people have been cataloging myself as well the numerical value of words, and a lot of it's from ancient Hebrew. So I know that not as a spoken language, but I know how to transliterate that there's a whole code of numerology in that, but that also in mystical Kabbalah and in my tradition. That then relates to, for example, tarot. What I'm saying is there's so many layers, but I took all of this and I said all of this, what seemingly disconnected, what would seem sort of like gibberish, it's like a little oblique, and I harmonize it into a concise message.

Speaker 1:

So this is the only book I know, this is the only book that's going to take, say, 777, really rooted in tradition. I'm not saying this is the one true tradition, but there's a lot of just stuff out there that I know people are just making up, sure, and I got an intuitive download and there's some truth in it, but I am like honoring thousands of years of tradition and now I've just updated it. Hey, here's the quick message for you, right? Because even my publisher and I'm working with Penguin, who's like a huge publisher A real deal.

Speaker 2:

It's an author, it's a real deal.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, my other publisher is dealing with Chronicle, but they, you know, part of it is my office in London got sold, not like the office I work with, but you know, in my mind they're a little more square Like I'm dealing with.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, man, I lived in L too, long, like there's a matrix rate of numbers telling the story and they're like I'm sorry what, but my editor, who I do love, she's actually the one who pitched it and she said in her huge meeting with all these like penguin people and execs and stuff, she said everybody got the notion. She asked do people, are there numbers that you notice in your life? She said everybody got the notion. She asked do people, are there numbers that you notice in your life? She said every single person raised their hand. So even the most sort of square, staunchly rigid, there is no mystery to the universe they get it. So this just feels like my soul's mission is to be like. Finally, I need to answer. I need to answer these questions because people be like you know, I looked online and they don't.

Speaker 1:

Google is not necessarily all source of truth, right, and it's not like I'm saying I'm not here, I just know I have a mission and I'm coming. This is rooted in tradition. This is, you know, this is rooted in thousands of years of mystical Kabbalah tradition. But it's not. I didn't want, like no one would know that, like I'm going to write the book behind the book, probably just for my students. That's cool.

Speaker 1:

You look up a number and it's like the Asiya of the world of formation, which is Yetzirah. I'm like what the heck does that mean to any? It's meaningless, but I know that that's a spiritual realm. The world of formation is the ideas, it's the Yetzirah. So I'm like, well, this is sort of like creating something almost out of nothing. That your thoughts right. I actually off the top of my head I don't remember which number that was, but so I just I'm able to encapsulate that and, like you said in the beginning, I think I've just here's your clear, practical message Like how, what does this mean in your life?

Speaker 1:

And three, three, three, which is a powerful number of unresolved issues. That I my joke is what's coming back to haunt you, but really is like you need to to. You're, you're about to have a success, but there's more work to do and you have to pay attention to these details and, like I said, my father in law, who has this big thing that he needs to resolve with a family business not any ill will, it's just this needs to be squared away. This is how a lot of second generational wealth and opportunities get lost, because nobody did the legwork of inheritance and chart. You know what I mean. So, like that's what's been really on his mind, it just is, was exactly it. But I I just want people, when they're seeing a number, I want them to be able to open this book fast and it's like reading a fortune cookie.

Speaker 2:

I love it. Oh, that's what it means.

Speaker 1:

Oh yeah, that's so true.

Speaker 2:

Oh, I can't wait. Now we're thinking that's coming out in the late fall, like November-ish.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it should be November. They didn't give me the exact date. The books yeah, it's whatever. The Penguin Fall releases. That's available worldwide, Fingers crossed. It's slated for some translations. I don't want to jinx it. My Prosperity Practices book is in French and in English. That's amazing. That's more just real vision boards.

Speaker 2:

Yes, I've read that one too.

Speaker 1:

It's a little bit my journey and story, but the numbers are like this book needs to appear, because I've looked at some other things and I'm like this is, it's just nonsensical, and this whoever wrote this doesn't really embody it or do it.

Speaker 2:

I can't wait All right Before we run out of time. I have two more questions for you. One is where can people find you? So where can they find you and how can they work with you?

Speaker 1:

I mean at this point, if you look up Remington Donovan, it's going to show up the website. That's where some of my workshops I'm working out longer. It's more of a workshop. This is like a series of the color magic and how practical color magic, which is numerology magic as well. My Instagram is where I post a lot of info and that's the mystical arts Remington Donovan. I used to be plagued with fraud accounts and impersonators, but that's there. Those are the best outlets.

Speaker 2:

I will put all that in the show notes for everybody too.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, the Instagram is my main platform is when I started and that's what's just sort of grew and it's good for like lifestyle. It's perfect, okay, which, in a way, that's's just sort of grew and it's good for like lifestyle. Everything it's perfect Good, which, in a way, that's. You know, in a sense, that's what I'm doing and sharing.

Speaker 2:

But, I am. I just I can't say enough Like I am so excited for Angel, I am too. I can't wait. I love it.

Speaker 1:

My inbox is on every device and email and every outlet is. I'm seeing this. What does it mean?

Speaker 2:

Everyone wants to know.

Speaker 1:

So I'm like you know what. Go to the book.

Speaker 2:

I love it. Good, all right. So before we go, one last question about books. I like to ask all my guests if there is a book that they can recommend that has impacted their lives, personally or professionally, that they think the listeners should read. So, other than yours, obviously, which we will put all yours in the show notes. Other than yours, which they should read everybody Numerology, amazing book. What book would you like to recommend?

Speaker 1:

Actually, you know, just as you say it, there's a book and I've recommended this book to a lot of my students. It's called Turning Pro by Steven Pressfield. It's like 100 pages and it shifted my consciousness, especially as I was like how do I turn all of this into a business or a living? And he really entered. It's an energetic transmission and how to be more professional, but it's not like how to show up for your meeting at a corporate client, it's. It's like it's a spiritual transmission. Each page is like this lesson, and what I love is he breaks down that being professional isn't about oh, I did this for money. It's your work ethic and your level of dedication and like love and going, breaking through the barriers of. You know, my probably worst vice is procrastination, and so that book, just that, was a game changer for me. Turning pro, stephen Pressfield Love it, you can read it.

Speaker 1:

You can read it. Call you in an hour.

Speaker 2:

Love it. I'm going to have to get that one because I have not heard of that one, and I love when my guests make recommendations. Do you know what bibliomancy is?

Speaker 1:

Where you, just you can open up any book. You ask a question, well, each little page is its own unique it's. It doesn't, you'll see, but that book was a game, biggest game changer for me, or one of them, I love it.

Speaker 2:

Thank you so much. So, remington, I've taken so much of your time. I could talk to you for hours. You are so fascinating. You truly have a gift. I love you combine science with mysticism, with numbers. It's everything that you talk about is so fascinating, and your mission really is to help people understand and to understand themselves, which I have such utmost respect for you professionally, and I can't wait for your new book to come out. This episode will come out before that, but I will be sure to mention this and re-promote this episode again when your book comes out so that people can see and hear you.

Speaker 2:

And in the meantime, everybody go buy his first book, Numerology, or the second one too as well. Which is Prosperity, something Practices.

Speaker 1:

Thank you.

Speaker 2:

Speaker 2:

I love it, and we're going to have to have you come back when your next book comes out about angel numbers. At the end of the year we'll have you come back and talk about your book and then the year we're going to be moving into of 2026.
