The Power and Limitations of Numerology

Numerology is an art thousands of years in the making. Like any Metaphysical science, it hinges on the understanding that all things are interconnected. Your numerology profile analyzes the connection between the letters and numbers linked to you, revealing your talents, strengths, weaknesses, emotions, preferences, and a range of other qualities.

To use an analogy, think of numerology's nine single-digit numbers as nine tubes of paint, each a distinctly different color. Imagine you are a work of art painted by a master artist who used every color available to create your image. The depiction is unique and complex: a fusion of bright and subdued colors, shapes and shadows, light and reflection, subtle and bold textures. The deeper you look, the more you perceive and appreciate the many layers that makeup who you are.

A comprehensive numerology profile, along with your honest reflection, can be a powerful self-help tool in identifying underlying traits and new possibilities. The better you know yourself, the more control you have over life's changes and the greater your potential for a successful, fulfilled life. Numerology is not infallible, nor does it promise to answer every question, but I feel confident you will find many things to contemplate in the following pages.

You are unique, and so is your Profile. We hope you enjoy your reading.

Your Personality Profile

Your Profile begins with insight gleaned from your name because that is where we learn WHO you are. It describes the talents, strengths, and other distinct characteristics you were born with. Just as your physical body grows and changes with time, so does your personality. Your personal evolution begins at the moment of your birth. From that point on, the choices you make, the goals you set, your environment, opportunities, challenges, the influence of others, and a thousand other factors alter who you become.

Your Personality Profile begins with an overview of the combined influence of the core numbers derived from your name: your Expression, Heart's Desire, and Personality. This has never been done before.

I hope you will take time to read and reflect on the information below. Many aspects become clearer with time and during subsequent readings. I wish you the best on your journey.

PART I: About You

Your Personality Profile is based on your full name at birth, your current name, and your date of birth. Your full name tells us who you are; think of it as your numerology-DNA. Your date of birth reveals your path and the patterns of your personal growth.

We start this report by looking at the most important numbers derived from your full name to throw light on who you are as a person.

HOW YOUR NAME NUMBERS STACK UP

, we begin by taking a quick snapshot, a look at the influence and meaning of the three core numbers derived from your name. Your Expression number is the sum of the value of all the letters in your full name at birth. Your Heart's Desire is the sum of the vowels. Your Personality number is the sum of the consonants. These three numbers are closely linked and influence one another.

All the numbers derived from your name reflect YOU. They are a blueprint of your talents, shortcomings, character traits, and other qualities. You should realize that this is a limited perspective. Later chapters focus on the challenges and opportunities you will encounter on your path, and attributes you may acquire as time passes.

This first chapter is like a glance from a distance, followed by three chapters that explain the meaning of each number in more detail. We will gradually build a more complete picture of the complex and unique individual you are.

THE EXPRESSION

Your Expression number, calculated from your full name at birth, reveals the orientation or goal of your life. Some numerologists refer to this as your Destiny number because it represents a lifelong target at which you are aiming. Thus, the Expression number, to some extent, reveals the person you aim to be.

Your Expression is the most influential of the three characteristics that make up who you are. It is also the number with the most influence on your choice of career, although other aspects are important as well.

Your Expression is 3

THE HEART'S DESIRE

The Expression number described above points to a more productive side of your life. Your Heart's Desire reflects a deeper, inner you; it suggests an underlying urge, your true motivation, and the general intention behind many of your actions. It reveals the environment and lifestyle you prefer, as well as your likes, dislikes, and the type of people you are drawn to. Consequently, it dramatically influences the choices you make in life.

It makes sense that the vowels of your name are the foundation for your Heart's Desire. Vowels are the peaks and valleys of a language. Notice how vowels leave your mouth in a free-flowing breath. Try it: Aaaa.... Eeee.... Oooo.. Consonants though, are cut off either at the beginning or in the end.

You might say that it is in the flow of your breath that you express your deeper self.

Your Heart's Desire number is 11

THE PERSONALITY

The consonants of your full name at birth are the foundation of your Personality number, which is a little like a narrow entrance hall to the great room that is your true nature. It's the outer layer of your personality, the part you feel comfortable sharing. With time and trust, you invite others into the deeper aspects of your nature.

Your Personality number serves as a censoring device in terms of what you send out, as well as whom and what you allow to approach. For this reason, your Personality is usually narrower and more protective in its definition than the real you. It also gives an indication of how others perceive you.

Your Personality number is 10/1

THE HEART'S DESIRE - PERSONALITY BRIDGE

A Bridge number is based on the numerical difference between two closely related aspects in your chart. It is the gap you need to "bridge" in order to create a more harmonious bond between the two areas.

The following Bridge number connects your Heart's Desire and Personality numbers. It suggests things you can do to help your deeper self to align more closely with your personality; the "outer" you that is apparent to others.

With a little exaggeration, you could say that your Personality number is somewhat like your mask; it's a more superficial aspect you reveal to the world. You can imagine how much more comfortable and less inhibited the experience of life becomes when you can align your authentic self with the personality you show to the world.

Your Heart's Desire - Personality Bridge number is 1

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.

THE LIFE PATH

Your Life Path number is considered the single most significant information available in your Personality Chart. It is derived from the total of all numbers found in your date of birth. However, it is important to keep in mind that the aspects described in the next few chapters will either complement, supplement, or sometimes weaken the attributes revealed in numbers derived from your name.

Your Life Path number is 10/1

THE BIRTH DAY NUMBER

The day you were born bears great significance in understanding who you are and where your talents lie. Your day of birth indicates special talents you possess. It gives us an indication of the approach you will take toward the goals, opportunities and obstacles you encounter on your Life's Path.

Your Birth Day number is 1990/1

THE LIFE PATH - BIRTH DAY BRIDGE

Your Life Path and Birthday numbers are closely connected and influence each other. This Bridge explains how you can make the connection between them more harmonious.

Your Life Path - Birthday Bridge number is 0

CHALLENGES; YOUR FIRST CHALLENGE

You face four specific Challenges in your lifetime. For many of us, the same challenge is repeated, while others have four distinctly different lessons to learn.

These Challenges place you in situations that require you to face the particular lesson at hand. This provides an opportunity for you to learn or better integrate personal traits that will benefit you during the lesson, and throughout your life.

The four Challenges in your chart will influence you during the periods of your life listed below.

The duration of your First Challenge usually lasts from birth until age 30 to 35.

Your First Challenge is 2

THE SECOND CHALLENGE

Your Second Challenge is in place from approximately age 30 through 55.

Your Second Challenge is 5

THE THIRD AND MAIN CHALLENGE

This Challenge carries much weight and will be felt throughout your life. For that reason, it is also called the Main Challenge.

As you master this challenge and incorporate its positive aspects into your character, your life gradually feels more in control. There is a chance for great reward implicit in this challenge. In short, it may offer the secret to your success.

Your Third and Main Challenge is 3

THE FOURTH CHALLENGE

Your Fourth Challenge is most strongly felt during the latter part of your life, beginning at approximately age of 60.

Your Fourth Challenge is 3

you are repeating your Third Challenge

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.

THE LIFE PATH - EXPRESSION BRIDGE NUMBER

This Bridge has the potential to "close the gap" between the Life Path and the Expression numbers. The chapter explains how you can make your talents, strengths, and specific abilities (your Expression number) more readily available and fitting to your goals and personal growth.

Your Life Path - Expression Bridge number is 2

MATURITY NUMBER

Your Maturity number indicates an underlying wish or desire that gradually surfaces at around age 30 to 35. A direction begins to emerge as you gain a better understanding of yourself. With this self-knowledge comes a greater awareness of who you are, and the direction you want to set for your life.

Your Maturity number is 4/4

PERIOD CYCLES; YOUR FIRST PERIOD CYCLE

Like most stories, there are three distinct stages of your life. Your First, Second, and Third Period Cycles come from your month, day, and year of birth respectively. Together they form the foundation of your Life's Path.

The First Cycle begins in childhood and lasts through your late 20's. It's a quest for knowledge and identity while you cope with the powerful forces that are present in your environment. These forces include your parents and the socio-economic conditions of your family, for example.

The Second Cycle covers the middle period of your life, bringing about the slow emergence of your individual and creative talents. This cycle begins in the early and mid-30's while struggling to find your place in the world. The late 30's, 40's, and 50's, bring a greater degree of self-mastery and influence over your environment.

The Third Cycle starts approximately age 55, and represents a flowering of your inner self as your true nature comes to fruition. It is during this period that you have the greatest degree of power and self-expression.

Your First Period Cycle runs from birth until your mid 30's.

Your First Period Cycle is 3 and lasts until age 35

SECOND PERIOD CYCLE

Your Second Period Cycle runs from your mid 30's until your late 50's.

Your Second Period Cycle is 1

THIRD PERIOD CYCLE

Your Third Period Cycle covers the later part of your life, starting in your early 60's.

Your Third Period Cycle is 6

PINNACLE CYCLES; YOUR FIRST PINNACLE CYCLE

Although Pinnacle Cycles and Period Cycles are both derived from your date of birth, they differ in the way you experience them. Period Cycles, described above, reflect internal stages of growth. Pinnacle Cycles represent the external influences you encounter in life.

Pinnacles reveal general conditions and events you experience during each period, such as your environment, social conditions, relationships, and changing circumstances. Pinnacles reveal how you might respond to these influences and how they will affect your ever-evolving personality.

The transition from one Pinnacle to the next is usually strongly felt. You begin to feel the transition from one Pinnacle to the next approximately two years in advance. The latter part of that two-year period can be particularly strong. You will likely make life-altering decisions, such as marriage, a job or career change, or major changes in your personal makeup.

Knowing and understanding your approaching Pinnacle number prepares you for the changes ahead. Perhaps the most strongly felt change is the transition from First to Second Pinnacle, which usually takes place in your late 20's or early 30's (the exact date depends on your Life Path number). This is usually a difficult transition but once crossed, provides a clear sense of direction and a firmer sense of identity.

Your First Pinnacle cycle is 4 and runs from birth until approximately age 35

THE SECOND PINNACLE CYCLE

Your Second Pinnacle Cycle lasts nine years and tends to have a considerable influence on your productive/professional life.

Your Second Pinnacle cycle is 7 and runs from age 35 until age 44

THE THIRD PINNACLE CYCLE

Your Third Pinnacle Cycle also lasts nine years. Like your Second Pinnacle, its effect is felt primarily in your career or business environment.

Your Third Pinnacle cycle is 11 and runs from age 44 until age 53

THE FOURTH PINNACLE CYCLE

Your Fourth Pinnacle Cycle lasts for the rest of your life.

Your Fourth Pinnacle cycle is 9 and runs from age 53 until age death.

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.

THE RATIONAL THOUGHT NUMBER

Your Rational Thought number comes from combining the sum of your birthday number with the sum of your first name. It reveals the style or process you use when making choices or considering a problem. Are you a structured, logical thinker or do you ponder a question in a creative, abstract manner? Do you daydream or stick to deductive reasoning?

Your Rational Thought number suggests the general approach you take in your thought process.

Your Rational Thought number is 3

THE BALANCE NUMBER

Your Balance number provides guidance on how to best deal with difficult situations.

People experience a variety of internal responses to life's challenges. Some step back from difficult situations to ponder a course of action while others withdraw to avoid uncomfortable emotions. Some explode with anger but allow the outburst to pass quickly while others let their feelings linger.

Very often, these are conditioned responses that emerge without thought or analysis. With maturity and self-development, we incorporate new and more effective methods of handling situations we encounter.

Your Balance number is 3

THE HIDDEN PASSION

Your Hidden Passion reveals specific strengths or talents that are available to you, such as a specific field of expertise or (as the name implies) a passion. Metaphorically, this talent or passion may be seen as having a power all its own to help shape your life.

Having a talent demands that you nurture and express it. Your Hidden Passion gives you the desire to develop and express your particular ability. In this way, it shapes your personality and guides your life.

Your Hidden Passion number is 1

You have a strong drive to stand out. You have a great ambition and desire to accomplish. You are highly competitive and want to be the best and the first in everything you do. You are highly energetic and creative. You are capable of influencing and even dominating others. You have highly developed political skills and can succumb to manipulation unless your ideals are high. Ironically, there are times when you lack confidence, especially at an earlier age, but you have the strength to overcome this obstacle.

You are a survivor, a warrior, a leader. Many great athletes and politicians have this number as a Hidden Passion.

Your Hidden Passion number is 2

You are highly considerate, sensitive, and intuitive. You seek peaceful and pleasant environments. You work hard to establish harmony among your peers and co-workers. You work well in groups, often serving as the peacemaker. You may appear shy and timid and although you like people there is an inner fear, you dislike noise and roughness. You are committed to your work and perform your job with a high degree of competency, patience, and persistence. You are a magnet for information. You are often one of the pillars of any organization. People naturally rely upon you.

You tend to worry too much about trivial details and can waste time on petty affairs. You may be too sensitive and easily hurt; your feelings can get in the way of your sound judgment.

You have a good ear for music and rhythm and an appreciation for the arts. You love beauty in your environment. You have fine and delicate taste.

Writing, promotion, and public relations work suit you perfectly. You are resourceful and original. You have a good sense of humor and a quick tongue.

You are sensual and a bit impulsive. You love to satisfy your senses, which can get you into trouble. Overindulgence in food, drink, sex, and drugs are common among people with too many 5s -- six or more.

Your desire for freedom is extremely strong and it will take effort and discipline to stick with whatever it is you started. There is a tendency to give up a project or situation prematurely. , you may be interested in too many things, which can make it hard for you to apply yourself to one area successfully.

Commitment in relationships and your work is fundamental to your happiness. You may tend to wander from person to person, job to job, making depth of relationship or deep expertise difficult.

KARMIC LESSONS

Karmic lessons are recognized by the absence of certain letters in your name and describe areas we are weak in that require recognition and effort to overcome.

The letters in your name point to talents and abilities that you possess; tools that are available to you. Missing letters imply tools that are unavailable, they must be learned and mastered during your lifetime.

You can have more than one Karmic Lesson or, if every number is represented your name, you don't have any.

Although you may feel you have learned to overcome one or more of your Karmic Lessons, you will continue to be challenged by them throughout your life.

Your Karmic Lesson is 3

You are highly self-critical. Every time you find yourself at the center of attention, you manage to find something in your performance to be entirely inadequate or embarrassing. You have established an impossible standard of perfection as the only measure of your actions.

You need to lighten up on yourself. Realize that you have within you a critical faculty that must be contained and controlled. Otherwise, it can prevent you from doing what you truly enjoy in life. You're too serious. Be more optimistic and cheerful, enjoy life as it was meant to be and share this joy with others.

Life will put you in situations that require imagination and communication. You will be tested in these areas. You will be forced to face the challenge.

Missing threes will often produce artists, but their success requires much work and perseverance.

The effects of this Karmic Lesson are diminished if you have at least one 3 among your core numbers (Life Path, Birthday, Hearts Desire, Expression, or Personality Number).

Your Karmic Lesson is 4

You feel confusion about your life's direction. You will have to establish a methodical and disciplined approach. You need to create a foundation for your life. Otherwise, you will feel lost and tossed about by change. You have trouble finding the work you do best. You tend to be somewhat impractical and disorganized.

You look for the answers to life's problems outside yourself, rather than within. New jobs start off as The Answer, but do not have the same glamour for long. You quickly discover that the new work requires the same effort and perseverance, without the excitement you expected, which may cause you to give up too soon.

Concentration and application need to be strengthened.

The effects of this Karmic Lesson are diminished if you have at least one 4 among your core numbers (Life Path, Birthday, Hearts Desire, Expression, or Personality Number).

Your Karmic Lesson is 7

You need to deepen your knowledge and talents in a specific discipline. You lack the will or determination to perfect yourself or a specific talent you possess. You must learn to be your own critic, without self-condemnation, in order to bring your abilities to their full development. You will learn not to take things at face value. A superficial understanding of important matters will prevent you from experiencing the satisfaction of your true potential.

The effects of this Karmic Lesson are diminished if you have at least one 7 among your core numbers (Life Path, Birthday, Hearts Desire, Expression, or Personality Number).

Your Karmic Lesson is 9

You must learn to be more compassionate, tolerant, and understanding. You have to learn to identify with the trials of others. There will be times when you will have to sacrifice some egocentric ambition for the good of a particular project or some larger goal.

You must learn to broaden your view of life. You have to see things on a larger scale. You do not realize the enormous potential you have in influencing your own destiny and that of others. Therefore, you hold back your efforts at helping people, or furthering a particular social cause. You have an issue with commitment to community or mankind.

The effects of this Karmic Lesson are diminished if you have at least one 9 among your core numbers (Life Path, Birthday, Expression, Hearts Desire, or Personality Number).

THE CORNERSTONE

The first letter of your first name gives an additional indication of your character, particularly in the way you approach opportunities and obstacles. This first letter is called your Cornerstone.

Your Cornerstone is J

THE SUBCONSCIOUS SELF

Your Subconscious Self is based on how many numbers are represented in your name, and indicates your ability to make the most of your talents and opportunities, especially when you face new, challenging, or even dangerous circumstances.

Your Subconscious Self number is 5

PLANES OF EXPRESSION; THE PHYSICAL PLANE

You experience life on four different levels: physical, mental, emotional, and intuitive. Your Planes of Expression indicate how you function on each of these planes.

Your physical plane links you to the material world.

Your mental plane, like the emotional and intuitive, perceives the invisible world; the realm of thought and reason.

Your emotional plane is preoccupied exclusively with feelings.

Your intuitive plane gives you access to the insight and knowledge that comes effortlessly as if placed at the doorstep of your mind.

In each category, the number of letters, and their numerical value, gives an indication of which Planes of Expression are stronger in you and which are weaker. Each of us is dominated by one or two of the first three planes. The physical and mental are the most widely used, although a name dominated by emotional letters is not uncommon. The intuitive plane is usually the least utilized. A name dominated by intuitive letters is extremely rare but having no intuitive letters in a name does occur. This does not mean a lack of intuition but points toward a tendency to ignore or distrust intuitive insights.

The Physical Plane represents the physical letters in your name.

Your Physical Plane of Expression is 5

THE MENTAL PLANE

The Mental Plane is based on the mental letters in your name.

Your Mental Plane of Expression is 14/5

THE EMOTIONAL PLANE

It is not uncommon for a person to have a name dominated by emotional letters.

Your Emotional Plane of Expression is 11/2

THE INTUITIVE PLANE

A name dominated by Intuitive letters is extremely rare. It is, however, not at all uncommon not to have any intuitive letters.

Your Intuitive Plane of Expression is 0

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 3

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 11

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
