The New £20 Note & Artist JMW Turner – February 2020

The new plastic Bank of England £20 notes came into circulation on 20 February 2020 and will eventually replace the paper £20 notes still in use. They are made from a plastic polymer like the new £5 and £10 denominations, which is said to be more durable, cleaner and secure than paper. The improved security features include further steps being taken against counterfeiting with 2 windows and 2 colour foil.


There is lots of 2 energy represented here, potentially bringing with it the idea of separateness, which can be painful, but this is ultimately about looking deeper for truth, to share this and so develop something new after a period of time …

Looking more closely at the date these new notes came into circulation: –

20 – 2 – 2020 4                                                First Goal (20 + 2) = 22/ 4
 2              22                                                      Challenge               =   4
       4         4                                                       Mission                   = 26/ 8           
            8

The starting point of this date the 20/ 2 and the central focus 2 (from February) is about working behind the scenes to get every detail right i.e. making decisions after “careful and serious consideration and extensive public consultation” .

As the 20 reduces to 2, we see from these two numbers 22/ 4 energy emerges. This represents the ‘Master Builder’ and big projects resulting from building something solid, as a result of getting every detail right. Consulting with the public constantly and acting as facilitators, by making these notes more practical and durable (qualities of the 4).

The resulting (44/ 8) and the challenge (4) is about survival and structure, hence the need for durability, security and stability takes priority over concerns for example about animal welfare, as they decided to continue to use 0.05% animal fat in the production of these type of notes.

The mission that comes from the date these notes came into circulation (26/8) represents ‘Lord Karma’ – constant movement and re-evaluation (8) taking responsibility (6) for bringing in new concepts and new ways of improving the service provided to the public and commerce.

Born of the 20/ 2, the 26/ 8 mission that comes from this date has the qualities of the facilitator, the peace maker, the diplomat constantly consulting, measuring and considering. The Bank of England has to take responsibility (6) for getting every detail right (20/ 2), as well as re-evaluating with regard to the bigger picture (8), as we move closer to becoming a cashless society.
 
It is fitting that this new £20 note should feature the artist JMW Turner as there are a lot of 20s in his chart also.

Turner was known as ‘the painter of light’ as his paintings of landscapes and seascapes conveyed such emotion and passion. Sometimes turbulent and often violent, his seascapes connect directly with the 2 energy, which in Numerology is represented by the element of water.

Rather than communicate what was seen in the physical realm, Turner was about communicating the energetic essence of the scene, alive with emotion and movement, making the spiritual alive in a flat, physical form. Turner’s paintings brought in new thinking with regard to painting and a new art movement.

The word light has the vibration 29/ 11/ 2, this in terms of numerology means ‘birth of light’, as great wisdom (9), is born of emotion (20/ 2), together acting as a channel (11/ 2), a direct link with spirit, potentially inspiring us all to think in new ways: –

  9         Soul Urge    9
LIGHT  
3 782 Personality 20/ 2
           OSE              29/ 11/ 2

The artist JMW Turner brought in new ways of thinking with his painting’s expressions of light, movement and emotion.

Turner was an Old Soul and his mission (47/ 11/ 2) was to inspire us all to think in new ways. He was focussed on the physical (4) and was about making the spiritual aspect (7) real in the physical form of his paintings, potentially inspiring us all to think in new ways (11/ 2). Numerologists refer to 47/ 11/ 2 as the ‘magician stuck in the mud’ and we can see from his ‘Relationship Chart’ that central to his world was the physical i.e. matter. He was about capturing the light, fire, passion and grounding this, by trying to express this in the contained surface of his paintings.

23 – 4 – 1775 20                                                     First Goal (23 + 4) =  27/ 9
 5              29                                                             Challenge               =  20/ 2
        9       11                                                             Mission                   =  47/ 11/ 2
                  2

If we look at his Date of Birth (above) we see how initially he may have had the ideas, but he may have doubted himself. He may have been very up and down, as there is great creativity (3) but this is born of emotion (20). What anchors him and is central in his world is the 4, this is the rhythm he has to work to. This keeps him grounded and methodical, focussed on the physical expression of his great creativity.

A 54/ 9 can be seen to emerge here, this represents a new structure (4) born of new thinking (50/ 5), which brings about change ultimately to help humanity (9), the 9 being in service. The mind here (5) looking inward, to serve the inner communication, rather than looking outward to embrace freedom and change through external movement.

His challenge or ‘Inner Work’ (20/ 2) is to express his emotions, as well as capture the dualities of light and dark, stillness and movement, the separation and the violence also represented by the 2.

The outward expression of him achieving this (his place in the orchestra) is the 29/ 11/ 2, which represents the ‘birth of light’ the place his Date of Birth ultimately takes him to.

The 92/ 11/ 2 also expressed from his Date of Birth is his ‘Rehearsal No.’ expressed as he works towards completing his mission. 92/ 11/ 2 in terms of Numerology represents the higher 2 of love wisdom, born out of service (9) the ‘Teacher of Soul’s inspiration – revealing the light within the Soul’.

The 20/ 2 in terms of Numerology is often thought of as the peace maker, the diplomat and the facilitator, but there is also the potential for violence with the 20/ 2, as there can be separation, manipulation, polarity, gestation and ultimately the birth of something new.

There are a lot of 20s in Turner’s chart: –

His challenge or ‘Inner Work’ (20/ 2) is to express his emotions, as well as capture the dualities of light and dark, stillness and movement, the separation and the violence also represented by the 2.
The sum of the lessons from the name JMW Turner (21/ 3) represents a great will (1) born of emotion (20), impatient and wanting to develop his vision, to create (3) and self-realise. (The negative here being self-obsession)

His starting point 23/ 5, represents great creativity (3) born of emotion and may mean that he has the ideas but he may doubt himself and can be very up and down as a result.
His first Goal (27/ 9) is about great spirituality (7) born of emotion and ultimately great wisdom (9) from feelings and emotion.  A new vision looking at new things.

What brings everything together for Turner (77/ 23/ 14/ 5) is listening to his inner voice (77) and going with his ideas (23), ultimately finding freedom despite the limitations, to break out of the box and explore new ways to create and communicate this (14/ 5).

What opens doors for Turner ultimately (28/ 10/ 1) is a massive re-evaluation (8) born of emotion (20/ 2) resulting in the courage to do things in his own way with the mind set ‘Who Dares Wins’.
The place his Date of Birth ultimately takes him to (29/ 11/ 2) is ‘birth of light’ as great wisdom (9) born of emotion (20/ 2) has the potential, bit by bit, to inspire others to think in new ways (11/ 2).

Looking at the above ‘Relationship Chart’ that illustrates Turner’s Date of Birth and Date of Death, as well as the date the new £20 was launched. We see how in life Turner was open to many influences. These helped him connect his great emotion and sensitivity (2) with new thinking and freedom (5), but central to this was the structure and physicality of painting.
 
The journey to the date of circulation of the new £20 has meant also that the Bank of England has been very open, constantly re-evaluating (8) and trying to bring in new ways of doing things while maintaining a relationship with the public, acting as a peace maker, trying to ensure that everyone feels listened to and consulted (2). Central to this journey is the 4, the practical considerations of security and durability.

From the date of Turner’s passing (19/12/1851) we see how his singlemindedness has paid off as new concepts (6) are born in the physical (40/ 4) and made real with the 46/ 10/ 1, which takes us into new territory (10/ 1). The shape generated on this ‘Relationship Chart’ indicates that something unstoppable is created, as he transformed the thinking of many, producing a very solid body of work.

The starting point from this date (19/10/ 1) represents his struggle to be independent and self-confident and is ultimately about the correct use of power as he emerges as a ‘new age type leader’ who takes everyone with him. Someone who has mastered his emotions, a leader and a pioneer (10/ 1), ultimately in service to humanity (9).

Central to this date, 12/ 3 represents the central themes of his work, his great will (1) represented by the element fire and his great sensitivity and passion (2) represented by the element water, working together to create and communicate. 12 is also derived from 4 x 3, which represents the trinity or the spiritual (3) made viable (4).

The 13/ 4 that results from these two numbers represents transformation and rebirth, as the great creativity of the 3 in that position breaks through the very strong numbers either side, the existing structures (4) and the great will and unstoppable generator represented by the 1.

The mission from his passing (46/ 10/ 1) are for the new concepts (6) that he expressed and made real in his paintings (the physical – 4) take us into new territory (10/ 1).
The place the date of his passing takes him to 24/ 6 represents the new structure (4) born of emotion ultimately giving over to something greater. 24/ 6 also represents the sum of the letters that represent Soul energy (AEIOU 1+5+9+6+3=24/ 6), so representing  the potential for perfect harmony in time and space, between masculine and feminine, spirit and matter, fire and water.

6 in numerology  represents heaven and earth coming together, inside and outside coming together. 6 in numerology is as far as you can go in nature … beyond the 6 is spiritual and movement …

The First Goal that comes from the date of is passing (31/ 4) represents the spiritual warrior emerging. 30/ 3 about uplifting others with your vision and the 1 in that position represents a relentless determination to build something solid based on that vision.

With his passing everything is taken to another level and there is completion with regard to
harmony, creativity and the will to survive … Something he again has in common with the new £20 pound note …

There is lots of 2 energy represented here, which may bring painful feelings of separateness, but is ultimately about looking deeper to find truth and  share it, to develop something new after a period of time.

Rather than communicate what was seen in the physical realm, Turner was about communicating the energetic essence of the scene, alive with emotion and movement, making the spiritual come alive in a flat, physical form. Turner’s paintings brought in new thinking with regard to painting and a new art movement.
