Jorge Mario Bergoglio is our new pope.

His date of birth - 17, December, 1936

This Pope likes to have fun. I think we are in for some surprises. He will work towards achieving his goals. He is a karmic soul. He has a gift for communicating with others and is very enthusiastic. He will have a way with words. He will be good at convincing others as well as steering people into his way of thinking.

The new pope's outgoing nature and sense of humour differs notably from the much more formal Benedict, who last month became the first pope in
600 years to resign.

The Tarot card pertaining to his Life path is – the 4 of Rods. He will achieve what he sets out in his life to do. Very clever with an active mind, and capable of a wide vision. He will be content with what he has in life he will turn to religion or philosophical interests.

The day he was elected as the new Pope was 13th March, 2013.  The number 13 ties into this in more ways than one.

Firstly the 13th card is the Death card in the Tarot. One of the most feared and clearly misunderstood cards. This is a very powerful vibration and the transformation it generates,  can lead to the death of the old and the birth of the new.   

Here is where a glitch might come in where this card is concerned.  He is born in the year of the Rat. Next year is the year of the Horse. The year of the Horse is not a good year for Rats. Let’s hope he has the strength of spirit and body to carry out what he would like to do – even though it may not be what the church would normally do…!

How was the number 13 activated? -

At the time he was elected he is 76 years old (7+6=13)
Elected on the 13 March
Year of election 2013
The full date -13-03-2013 - adds up to a 13.
Time he was elected 7.06pm (7+6=13)
The name "Francis the First" adds up to 76/13.

The number 13 is made up of 1+3=4 – The 4 is manifested into physical matter. He will be capable of changing many things.

He reminds me of Pope John the 23rd, who used to sneak out of the Vatican late at night in street clothes just to hang out with the people. He drove the Swiss Guards crazy. Time will tell…..
