PART II: THE PATH YOU ARE ON
If there was ever a moment of transformation, it was the moment of your birth. In that instant, you stepped into a new reality - the reality of human life and human consciousness. Even at that moment you were a person with your own unique character, as unique as your DNA. The previous chapters focused on YOU, the person you are, as revealed in the letters of your name. It is now time to look at your Path, the road you walk through life, using the numbers found in your date of birth.
Your first breath marked the beginning of your journey on the road we call your Life Path. It makes sense, then, that the most important number in your numerology chart comes from the date of your birth. Your Life Path number gives a broad outline of the opportunities, challenges, and lessons you encounter throughout your life. It also reveals the strengths, specific talents, and characteristics you were given to help you overcome challenges and evolve into the best you can be.
PART III: YOUR PATH AND YOU
We have focused on the letters of your name and the numbers from your date of birth. We will now look at numbers in your chart derived from the combination of both your name and the date of your birth. Acquiring the attributes described in the next few chapters will help smooth your progress. As you learn more about yourself, you may begin to recognize traits you were previously unaware of.
PART IV: Specifics About You
Although the following chapters deal with less dominant aspects of your chart, they are more narrowly defined and specific in the ways they affect you.
PART V: HOW YOUR CURRENT NAME AFFECTS YOU
The influence of the short name (the name you use to introduce yourself, including your last name) is minor in comparison to your full name. Interestingly, the short name often compensates in some way for numbers, and their related characteristics, that are missing or out of balance in the full name.
THE MINOR EXPRESSION
Your current name forms the basis of your Minor Expression number. It is usually the first and last name you commonly use to introduce yourself (not necessarily the name you received at birth).
The influence of your short name is minor in comparison to your full name. Interestingly, the short name often compensates in some way for letters or numbers missing in the full name.
The name you currently use, also affects how you feel about yourself.
If a name change takes place later in life for marital or for professional reasons, it adds or subtracts certain qualities. It can also focus and intensify existing characteristics or latent talents.
Your Minor Expression is 10/1
This number makes you better equipped for the daily struggle of life. This is a powerful number with good leadership abilities. It is independent, individualistic, original and innovative. It adds courage and a willingness to take risks. This number makes you more determined and goal oriented.
THE MINOR HEART'S DESIRE
The vowels of the name you currently use to introduce yourself are the basis of your Minor Heart's Desire number.
Your Minor Heart's Desire is 9
The shortened version of your name broadens your outlook on life. It makes you more compassionate, socially oriented, and concerned for the welfare of humanity. Your Minor Heart's Desire increases your idealism, and capacity for self-sacrifice toward a higher goal. You want to make a difference in life.
You may be more likely to hold yourself aloof and thereby making it harder to find the personal love you need.
Your appreciation for the arts is increased, and any artistic talent you may have is enhanced. You may want to become more of a teacher and are attracted to knowledge that will further this ambition.
THE MINOR PERSONALITY
Your Minor Personality is based on the consonants of your current name and reflects, at least to some extent, how you think, or hope, others might perceive you.
Your Minor Personality is 10/1
You are recognized as a pioneer; you have your own ideas of how to do things. You are a risk-taker, original and highly creative. You should be wary of appearing too aggressive or unreceptive. You can intimidate people if you don't soften your exterior somewhat. By doing this, you will attract less confident people who will be more willing to approach you with their thoughts and suggestions.
PART VI: YOUR FUTURE
The next chapters deal with your ever-changing cycles and how they affect you.
