JONATHAN SEAGULL & MARY JOHNSON

YOUR YEARLY RELATIONSHIP FORECAST

People change, sometimes dramatically, sometimes subtly. When people form a close relationship, their individual evolution can affect the stability and harmony of their partnership.

Please, keep in mind that the core numbers in your profiles (your Life Path, Expression, Heart's Desire, Personality, and Birth Day number) tend to carry more weight than cycles do. However, cycles, like your Personal Year cycle, can cause upheaval in areas where you previously had no issues. When that is the case, try to remember they are most likely temporary.

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.

Jonathan, your Life Path number is 7

You are the searcher and the seeker of the truth. You have a clear and compelling sense of yourself as a spiritual being. As a result, your life path is devoted to investigations into the unknown and finding the answers to the mysteries of life. You are well-equipped to handle your task. You possess a fine mind; you are an analytical thinker, capable of great concentration and theoretical insight. You enjoy research and putting the pieces of an intellectual puzzle together. Once you have enough pieces in place, you are capable of highly creative insight and practical solutions to problems.

You enjoy your solitude and prefer to work alone. You need time to contemplate your ideas without the intrusion of other people's thoughts. You are a lone wolf, a person who lives by his own ideas and methods. As a result, close associations are difficult for you to form and keep, especially marriage. You need your space and privacy, which, when violated, can cause you great frustration and irritation.

When your life is balanced, however, you are both charming and attractive. You can be the life of a party and enjoy performing before an audience. You enjoy displaying your wit and knowledge, which makes you attractive to others, especially the opposite sex. But you have distinct limits. While you are generous in social situations, sharing your attention and energy freely, you are keenly aware of the need to "come off stage" and return to the solitude of your lair. You associate peace with the unobtrusive privacy of your world. Therefore, intimacy is difficult for you, because you guard your inner world like a mother lion does her cubs.

All this privacy and aloneness can cause isolation and loneliness, however. You can be aware of emptiness in your life, a part of you that yearns for company and close companionship that may be unsatisfied. If isolation is brought to the extreme, you can become cynical and suspicious. You can develop hidden, selfish motives, which people may sense and may cause them discomfort around you.

You must guard against becoming too withdrawn and independent, thus shutting out the love of others and keeping you from experiencing the true joy of friendship and close companionship.

You must especially watch out for selfishness and egocentricity, thinking of yourself as the center of the universe, the only person who really matters. Social contact gives perspective on yourself and on life, while too much isolation can make you too narrow and even shut off from the rest of the world. Secretly, you may feel jealous of the easy relationships formed by others; you may perceive others as less inhibited than you, or freer to express themselves. You may harshly criticize yourself for not being more gregarious, powerful, or capable of greater leadership.

Your challenge in life is to maintain your independence without feeling isolated or ineffectual. You must hold fast to your unique view on the world, while at the same time being open to others and the knowledge they have to offer. With your abilities to learn, analyze, seek out answers to life's important questions, you have the potential for enormous growth and success in life. By the time you reach middle age, you will radiate refinement and wisdom.

Pythagoras loved the seven for its great spiritual potential.

Mary, your Life Path number is 6

You possess great compassion and seek to be of service to others. You have concern for the weak and the downtrodden. You are a healer and a helper to others. You are capable of giving comfort to those in need and will frequently offer a shoulder for others to cry on. Your task in life is to develop the tools necessary to be truly helpful to others, rather than to simply be a sympathetic ear.

You must find the balance between help and interference. In the same way, you must learn the delicate art of the counselor who knows when to leave the struggle to others and when to avoid taking away the necessary experiences and lessons of life. You are naturally balanced. Therefore, you are well equipped to support and ground others in times of trial.

It is in your nature to take on responsibility -- you often fill the void left by others -- and do not turn away from personal sacrifice. At times, you may feel overburdened by the travails of others. However, the love others bestow upon you is your well-deserved reward. You try to maintain harmony within the family or group, balancing and fusing divergent forces. You seek marriage and are often a wonderful parent, offering warmth, protection, and understanding to children.

You are generous, kind, and attractive. You are often admired even adored which baffles you. You are humble and yet you carry a deep pride. You move well and gracefully but will have to work to stay in shape. Seek out physical exercise and limit the sweets and dairy you crave to keep yourself from becoming plump and round.

When young, you must be careful not to choose partners for the wrong reasons. Do not let sentimentality influence your decision, especially those involving the choice of a spouse. You need to be needed but must learn to discriminate between those you can help and others who are made weaker by your care. After all, it is in your nature to be attracted to the weaker brothers and sisters among us.

The temptation, and the danger for you, is to think of yourself as the savior of the world, carrying the burdens of others on your shoulders.

You are blessed with musical talent, as well as in the visual and performing arts. However, your creativity may well be suppressed due to your willingness to sacrifice, or your inability to fully appreciate your talents.

This is not to say that you cannot excel in these areas; on the contrary, you have the talent, and with effort you can make a success in a number of artistic fields. You also have enormous talent in business. You are blessed with a great deal of charm and charisma, which you use effectively to attract the people and support you need.

How Your Life Path Numbers Compare

Your Life Path number is the most important influence in your chart. As such, their compatibility is very important to the well being of your relationship.

Jonathan and Mary, your Life Path Compatibility is 7 and 6

The 6 and 7 often have a love-hate relationship, so it is uncommon to find it in romantic partners. Where the 6 is strongly committed and motivated by emotions and a need for romance, the 7 is an intellectual and somewhat secretive and distant. Mary (the 6) requires a physical and emotional connection; Jonathan seeks an intellectual bond. This has nothing to do with the ability or desire to love, since no number is more capable of loving than any other. But challenges can arise when people have dramatically different views or strikingly different approaches to important concerns.

Every number expresses love in a unique way. Mary's 6 in this part of the chart is mainly influenced by emotions and depends on expressions of love to feel safe and secure in a relationship. Jonathan's 7 is more independent, which enables them to feel comfortable in a relationship even when deep personal feelings are not shared.

Unless this fundamental difference is understood and accepted, it can become a problem in your relationship. Mary may, at times, feel Jonathan is cold and aloof, and not as attentive as they would like. Jonathan needs a certain amount of distance, space for quiet contemplation, daydreaming, and just being alone. When they are in that state of mind, even Mary's loving attention could feel like an annoying disruption.

When couples are unable to accept these diverging viewpoints and approaches, it can bring much unhappiness. Interestingly, despite these contrasts, the relationship often remains unbreakable. When this happens, although the differences are often obvious to others, they probably go unnoticed by the two of you. People may wonder what keeps you together when you seem so different on all fronts.


Of course, the 6 and the 7 also have the potential to create a happy, long-lasting relationship. The key is simply to recognize the fundamental difference in the way you express your love. Mary must realize that even when Jonathan seems distant, their love is not absent in any way. And Jonathan may have to accept the fact that Mary needs frequent reassurance (and will likely demand attention if you are remiss in demonstrating it).

Keep in mind that this is just one area of your chart; other numbers and influences could mitigate these differences. However, the 6 and 7 will always have their unique approaches to love (and romance).

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.

Jonathan, your Expression is 4

You are the bedrock of society, the foundation of any enterprise. You are an organizer and manager. Your approach to life and to problems is methodical and systematic. You are a builder and a doer. You turn dreams into reality. You possess a highly developed sense of structure. You enjoy management systems and can carry out your well laid plans. You are not the type to embark on any trip without a map.

You take your obligations and those of your family quite seriously. As a result, you are reliable and responsible. You enjoy seeing a project through from start to finish but can become too narrowly focused. You put your nose to the grindstone and tend to become a workaholic.

You are driven by contempt for all that is unstable, insecure, and unpredictable. You distrust the unconventional, preferring instead the tried-and-the-true. But this can make your endeavors move slowly and cause you much frustration, especially with the apparent limitations of your resources.

At the same time, concern for the limitations of your resources causes you to be careful and cautious, shutting you out from possible shortcuts and creative solutions provided by more daring people around you. It is important that you recognize restrictions for what they are: guiding forces that are testing and directing you toward your goals. Your challenge is to be more imaginative and to attract more creative people into your life who can advise and inspire you.

In relationships, you tend to be somewhat moralistic. You are extremely honest and sincere. You have integrity and are trustworthy but can also be rigid and stubborn. Don't let your strong likes and dislikes overrule your common sense and compassion. Be more understanding of others' shortcomings.

Because you tend to focus on details, you can fall into a rut and become a little dull and overly serious. Often, people born with the 4 Expression need to lighten up and have more fun. You have a keen eye for detail. You have great stamina and can work conscientiously and persistently toward your goals. This eventually brings you success and standing in your community.

In your conservative and careful way, you are good with money. You are very conscious of the balance between income and expenditures. You can limit your expenditures; saving money is important to you.

You are a surprisingly good parent, and love to be involved with children. Somehow, you relate a little more than others to the innocence of children, perhaps seeing a good deal of yourself in them. You, too, are idealistic and respect the simplicity of children.

Many accountants, bookkeepers, government officials, managers, and lawyers are born under the 4 Expression. You can be attracted to the arts and music but will likely bring your love of structure and order to any artistic field. Classical music and opera are particularly appealing and inspiring for you.

Mary, your Expression is 6

You are a loving and caring individual with a tendency to put the needs of others before those of yourself. You are responsible and trustworthy with a high regard for justice and honesty. Duty will follow you all your life and sometimes feel a little too much of a burden.

You are artistic. Harmony and beauty are high on your list of priorities. You have musical talent but the creative talents of a 6 are sometimes left undeveloped or suppressed as a result of your tendency to sacrifice your time and pleasure to the service of others. You are highly creative in all areas of life, particularly the visual. You are also a talented business person and can work methodically toward the realization of your goals.

You have a natural gift with flowers, gardens, and animals. Your love of children has caused numerologists to dub you the "Cosmic Mother" or "Cosmic Father". The very shape of the 6 resembles and symbolizes "Pregnant with Love". You are a natural counselor and healer. But you must be careful not to interfere with the freedom of others. You are recognized as an idealist, mainly regarding marriage, friendships and humanity.

The 6 is the most harmonious of all numbers, but also contains within itself the greatest paradoxes. It is as if opposite tendencies were tenuously poised. Because of its gift for harmonizing these opposites, you are uniquely qualified to handle and integrate contradictions within yourself. It is for this reason that 6s so frequently find themselves in the role of healers or counselors, creating a peace between opposing points of view, or internal conflicts within the self.

While you can be very idealistic, there may also be a temptation to acquire beautiful objects by improper means. You must also guard against other meddlesome behavior and domestic tyranny, or always having to have your own way in a family dispute. Conversely, you have it within yourself to understand another person's dilemma and come up with a creative solution. Your natural ability to give comfort and warmth can smooth over hurt feelings like a healing balm. You attract love and appreciation. And rightly so, because you give the same in return.

You make an outstanding teacher (especially young children or special education), healer, counselor social worker, psychologist, artist, designer, gardener, florist, and farmer. You can be successful in business, especially those that involve dealing with people.

How Your Expression Numbers Compare

More than any other number in your chart, your Expression number reflects who you are as a whole person on a deep level (rather than the "face" you show to the world, described by your Personality number).

It cannot be over-emphasized how important it is to recognize that the same number in a different area of your chart will affect you differently. There may be times you read something that seems to directly contradict an earlier statement. Yet, if you take time to carefully think about the opposing information you might recognize that, being the complex individual you are, you carry the same contradictions. This is natural and true for all of us. You may excel at organization in one area of your life, while chaos rules in another. You may be tactful and sensitive in one setting, but direct and confrontational in another.

Be aware that it is more difficult to overcome negative traits you recognize in yourself when they are found in this part of the chart, than when they are found under the Life Path description.

Jonathan and Mary, your Expression Compatibility is 4 and 6

Jonathan and Mary, it is uncommon for these two numbers to "fall in love." Although they carry common traits (they are both practical and highly responsible) they are rarely interested in one another. The 4 and the 6 are both family-oriented numbers, with a strong sense of community and loyalty to others, but they tend to compete where you might expect them to be supportive. This is only one area of your chart, so there are other influences to consider that could mitigate this competitive aspect, but it will quite possibly be the hardest to overcome at the onset of your relationship.

However, if support prevails over competition and you do become involved in a romantic relationship, it will usually be a strong, comfortable alliance - the kind of relationship others view as indestructible. If you can accept your differences, you have the potential to be the "perfect couple".

You share important priorities: your home, children, friends, stability, and security. You are both loyal and protective of each other and those you care about. It is in your approach to life and the way you express yourselves that you are quite different. While Jonathan (the 4) relies on structure, discipline, and control to protect and care for others, Mary relies on warmth, sacrifice, and forgiveness. Jonathan is much less flexible and may, at times, feel that Mary is too soft and lenient. Yours is an example of a relationship typically characterized by the disciplinary father and the soft mother, or vice versa.

People around you may have the impression that Jonathan is rigid and less loving, while Mary is pure love and gentleness, however this is not an accurate perception. Jonathan's love is no less powerful than Mary's - it is just less openly expressed. Jonathan will fight for, and sacrifice, just about anything to protect Mary, the children, and anyone else who is part of their life.

Some danger exists if your differing attributes become too magnified. Jonathan's need for discipline and structure could become too much for Mary, suffocating and limiting their ability to express love naturally and without anxiety. Mary's willingness to be generous to a fault (and possibly be taken advantage of as a result) might lead Jonathan to lose respect for them.

Your loving natures can help you weather such conflicts and differences. Stay focused on your love, commitment, and shared values. If you can talk openly about your issues, and respect each other's individuality, you have the potential to maintain a strong lifelong relationship.

THE HEART'S DESIRE (A.K.A. SOUL URGE)

The Expression number described above points to a more productive side of your life. Your Heart's Desire, also called Soul Urge number, 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.

Jonathan, your Heart's Desire number is 5

Freedom is essential for your happiness. You love change, new experiences, meeting new people, adventure and travel. You love the exotic, faraway places. Variety is more than mere spice of life -- you thrive on it. You are extremely flexible and adaptable. You have more curiosity than the proverbial cat. You have a sharp mind and a natural ability with words. You are a born communicator, clear, fluent, and imaginative in every area that interests you -- which are many!

Your Heart's Desire makes you very well equipped for life. Change -- the only constant in life -- doesn't threaten you, as it does other people. You are highly resourceful. Generally, you can think clearly in a crisis; you have good mental and physical reflexes. Whenever you fall, you tend to land on your feet.

You are highly enthusiastic. You get excited easily over a new idea or opportunity. Your nature is unconventional. You are a bit of a gambler, taking risks whenever you think the rewards are worth it.

You are very socially oriented and rarely, if ever, dull or boring. You are, of course, drawn to those people who, like yourself, are original thinkers and have exciting personalities.

You enjoy being involved in several projects at the same time. You need continual stimulation by the new and fascinating. You tend to discard boring pastimes quickly. Your love of freedom and change can have numerous consequences. You can be irresponsible, especially when it comes to finishing tasks. You have a hard time persevering at a given project and bringing it to completion.

You must be careful that your love of sensory pleasure doesn't lead you to excessive indulgence in alcohol, food, sex, and even drugs.

You are a bit of a hero and want to save the world. This causes you to make promises you often cannot keep. Down deep, you long to please everyone, an impossible goal. Many 5s can be emotionally superficial. They feel love passionately, but fear making deep and lasting commitments. As a result, they resist the depths of emotional attachments and remain on the surface where it is safe.

You will experience many changes and unusual events, but you learn best through experience. Therefore, your life will be full, and you will make great strides in personal growth.

Mary, your Heart's Desire number is 4

You like to live a stable, well organized life. You dislike sudden changes. You prefer orderliness in all things. You have a systematic mind that is reflected in everything you do. You can establish and maintain a routine. You are exacting with details and quite thorough. You like to carefully analyze a problem and then tackle it in a logical and practical approach. You want to be dependable, a rock of strength and an example of discipline for others.

Work is central to your life, but you may tend to overdo it; you can easily become a workaholic if you're not careful. You have a great deal of energy and can accomplish a lot.

You want a family and you are a good parent. You may carry the discipline and the need for orderliness too far, especially in your family, making children and spouse feel oppressed and limited. Flexibility is your key to harmony and balance in life. For you, structure is more important than freedom, which you tend to interpret as chaos. But others do not have your need for well-defined systems, in fact, they may feel deeply inhibited and uncomfortable with it. The peace you get from orderliness may represent a prison to someone else.

You need and want much love, but you are not very demonstrative. You can be a little rigid and stubborn.

You are honest and unpretentious. You detest liars and affectations. You can be very determined and tenacious. You are the bedrock of any enterprise. You have the courage to go into the nitty gritty of a problem and come up with a solution. Try not to lose sight of the larger picture and dream while you plumb the depths of the bottom line.

How Your Heart's Desire Numbers Compare

Compatibility of the Heart's Desire number is very important in a relationship. Few relationships last beyond the initial stage if these numbers are not harmonious.

Jonathan and Mary, your Heart's Desire Compatibility is 5 and 4

Jonathan and Mary, yours is a challenging combination. Mary likes routine and predictability, while Jonathan prefers change and the unexpected. The numbers 4 and 5 are opposites in many ways. Interestingly, this is often the root of the initial attraction. Mary (the 4) is drawn to Jonathan's daring, adventurous, dynamic, and energetic life. Jonathan admires the control and discipline Mary displays.

This combination often creates a dynamic relationship - comparable to a roller coaster ride. Due to these extreme differences, your relationship will require mutual love and acceptance that is strong enough to weather your differing likes and dislikes, including your lifestyle preferences. Trying to change your partner is futile - your needs and desires are simply too different. Mary must accept the fact that Jonathan is not predictable and will never be happy living a highly structured life. Jonathan needs to make peace with Mary's need for an organized and controlled environment.

Differences will be noticed in other areas as well. Jonathan is sensual and feels comfortable around others. They are social and have an adventurous side (even a wild streak). Mary can be social but prefers to keep some distance. When choosing company, they are probably more discriminating and tend to hold on to protocol longer. Although as a rule Mary is more conventional and careful, they can reveal an extroverted, even outrageous side given the right occasion.

When it comes to opinions, you may find yourselves on opposing sides often. Mary needs a somewhat structured connection to life, even its spiritual side. Jonathan's inner world is more imaginative and changeable. Mary may be willing to accept rules and regulations that Jonathan enjoys breaking. These examples should not be taken too literally; you are complex individuals with additional influences in other areas of your chart that could modify these aspects. Suffice it to say you will encounter differences in your personalities and your approaches to many issues.

Interestingly, this combination can be powerful, exciting, and long lasting. The key to success will be in not taking yourself or your concepts too seriously - something Mary in particular, may need to work on. Maintain a sense of humor and keep in mind that opinions are just that, with relative values. Focus on enjoying each other's company; combine your strengths and build on your differences.

Your polarity has the potential to create a dynamic, rewarding relationship. With tolerance and openness, you can build a healthy relationship where Jonathan's dynamic, adventurous spirit and Mary's discipline and methodical approach happily live side-by-side.

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.

Jonathan, your Personality number is 8

You appear strong and powerful. You have an impressive personality and can influence and even intimidate through sheer force. You have natural authority. Your competence and enthusiasm attract people with resources. You radiate confidence. People defer to you because they sense your sureness and effectiveness. You also exude a kind of controlled benevolence. People sense that you are generous, once you are convinced of the worthiness of the cause.

It is important for you to dress well. You radiate a kind of raw power and able-ness which needs to be refined and enhanced by your clothing. You may even dress a bit flashy, but that will not harm you. Quality is among your highest priorities and should reflect in your clothing. Although most eights have a strong constitution, they can be prone to indigestion, ulcers, and heart disease due to their reckless eating and drinking habits and their propensity to be workaholics.

Your Achilles heel is your capacity for an egocentric attitude. The negative side of your personality can cause you to be ruthless, greedy, and intensely lonely. Conversely, you can be spontaneous and excited. You are essentially warm and jovial. In your heart of hearts, you want everyone to be as excited and as happy as you. Those who are around you often sense this. Your coworkers and employees usually like you.

Mary, your Personality number is 2

You appear friendly and unpretentious. You have a soft and warm exterior. Others perceive you as gentle, safe harbor. People are drawn to you because, among other reasons, you appear warm and unthreatening.

Your dress is neat and clean. Your clothing should be comfortable, soft, and flowing. You should avoid plain and understated clothes. Try to be a little more daring and exciting in your appearance. This will balance nicely with your perceptive and open personality.

You are very patient and understanding, and a wonderful listener. You make others feel important and loved. You are sensitive and become tense in a disharmonious atmosphere. You have experienced quite a bit of negative criticism as a child, which made you shy growing up. Though you may be well past that shyness, a bit of the vulnerability has remained with you and is often sensed by others.

You are a peacemaker. Arguments leave you drained. People sense your desire for harmony. But you must avoid being the blank tablet for others' projections. People may underestimate your strength, but this is a mistake. You are strong. You bend, but don't break. Exercise is important to your appearance and to promote the level of strength you radiate.

You have a fine sense of beauty and excellent taste. There is a grace in your movements, reflecting your keen sense of harmony and refinement. The opposite sex is attracted to your gentle and attentive nature yet senses the passion beneath your surface. You have sex appeal.

How Your Personality Numbers Compare

Your Personality is the first aspect people notice when you first meet. Very few relationships have a chance to progress if their Personality numbers are not compatible.

Jonathan and Mary, your Personality Compatibility is 8 and 2

Mary is drawn to Jonathan in part because Jonathan has great inner strength and the kind of personal power that could lead to worldly success. Capable and goal-oriented, Jonathan is a force to be reckoned with.

Jonathan is attracted to Mary largely because they recognize in Mary an emotional and inner/spiritual wealth that has likely remained dormant in their own life, at least to some extent. Mary experiences life on many levels; they know the heart and understand the power of emotions. When brought together, the innate qualities of the 2 (Mary) and the 8 (Jonathan) can produce a rewarding, balanced relationship.


This is a combination with the potential to survive long-term, however, there is also the possibility of miscalculating your strength as a couple. The relationship between the 2 and 8 is sometimes based on the 'illusion' or assumption that the partner will never change. Mary admires Jonathan's strength and believes it will always be there. Jonathan is attracted to Mary's romantic, emotional nature and expects it to be unwavering. But there will be times when strength will falter, and the heart will seem to lose interest. However, remaining alert and responsive to each other, and not allowing issues to fester can overcome these challenges.

Every couple must accept the changing nature of relationships, that they ebb and flow over time. The key for success in yours is to recognize each other as whole, complex individuals, seeing beyond your first impression and their most distinctive characteristics. Mary must love and accept Jonathan's strengths and abilities, as well as their weaknesses. Jonathan needs to realize Mary is more than the gentle, romantic, accommodating partner they first fell in love with.

Few combinations tend to give birth to relationships based on misperception as often as the 2 and the 8. But remember, this is just one aspect of your chart. You both have many other qualities to bring to your relationship. Combine your respective strengths and you should have a rewarding, long-lasting relationship.

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.

Jonathan, your Maturity number is 2

As you mature, you will discover that you possess a growing talent for understanding and working with other people. Your ability to influence others through tact and diplomacy will grow. These talents will further you along in your career or business. You will become increasingly shrewd and will learn the art of discrimination. Your sensitivity to the needs and desires of others improves dramatically. You will be able to evaluate their motivations with a growing clarity and uncanny accuracy.

You find you can get more done by persuasion and gentle guidance than by force. You may well have to learn to assume the role as the power behind the throne. Your influence is less public, and you may not always receive the public recognition you deserve. However, your satisfaction comes from seeing the fruition of your own ideas come about, the result of teamwork and cooperative efforts.

If you already have many 2s in your chart, especially in the core numbers, you may become overly sensitive, a characteristic you will have to keep in check. If you have few 2s in your chart, the influence of your Maturity Number will greatly increase your ability to work harmoniously with other people.

Mary, your Maturity number is 3

As you mature, you will find yourself becoming increasingly extroverted and optimistic about your future. Your self-expression and creativity improve markedly. You may become inspired to take up some type of artistic endeavor, such as writing, acting, or music, if you are not already involved in one of these areas.

Your ability to communicate will substantially improve. You are naturally more fluent and may find yourself dressing with a certain flair. Be careful not to fall victim to superficial appearances or chasing after glamour and extravagance.

With a 3 Maturity Number you can look forward to a pleasant and social latter part of life. Your attitude will be increasingly positive, and your popularity will rise.

If you already have several 3s in your chart, especially in your core numbers, you may tend to scatter your energies and take your responsibilities less seriously. If you have few 3s, or are missing 3s entirely, you will experience a great relief from the tension and seriousness of life. You will be more relaxed and capable of enjoying life.

The 3 Maturity Number is a blessing in the latter part of life. It promises enjoyment, close friendships, and much happiness.

How Your Maturity Numbers Compare

Your Maturity number becomes more dominant with age. The texts below become increasingly important after about age 40.

Jonathan and Mary, your Maturity Compatibility is 2 and 3

Jonathan, with the sensitive 2 as your number, you may find it difficult to handle criticism and confrontation (which has the potential to make you hold a grudge). Just the opposite, Mary's 3 gives them the innate ability to allow negative comments to roll off without doing much damage. This does not mean Mary cannot be hurt, but simply that they do not allow such things to spoil the day. These differing approaches regarding emotional issues could create conflict between you.

Sometimes a little tactless, Mary might speak before thinking, not realizing the effect their comments will have on Jonathan. However, when "little things" grow into big emotional issues in which even Mary is strongly affected, Mary will respond passionately. Although Mary tends to be less affected by criticism or an emotional exchange, they have less control of their emotions. This might lead to expressing anger and sharp words that could hurt Jonathan, damaging the relationship.

Jonathan might respond with a few angry words but will more likely just withdraw. If this happens, a hard kernel of resentment wrapped in confusion can develop and sometimes remain hidden for a long time. Since Jonathan may not always think clearly when emotions are in play, and may walk away from confrontation, they could eventually become so discontent that it would take everything Mary has to bring them back.

On a positive note, the combination of 2 and 3 is very passionate and strong. If Mary keeps verbal impulses under control, and Jonathan has enough self-confidence to handle occasional criticism, the relationship has every chance of bringing lots of love and joy to your life.

Often, the combination of 2 and 3 in this area of the chart enhances both parties' creativity. The sense of harmony and rhythm associated with the 2 merges beautifully with the creative powers of expression so native to the 3. Your relationship can be strengthened enormously by sharing creative interests.

Keep in mind that beauty and love are the foundation of your relationship. The key to weathering your differences is to discuss issues openly and frankly, with tact and sensitivity as soon as they arise.

YOUR PERSONAL YEAR

Your Personal Year number is a strong indication of the trends and circumstances you experience during the year ahead. Your Personal Year cycles are based on the Universal Year cycles and, therefore, run concurrently with the calendar year. (Transits and Essence cycles are based on the letters of your name and run from birth date to birth-date.)There are nine personal year numbers in a complete Epicycle.

Jonathan, your Personal Year cycle for 2026 is 6

This is a year of progress and financial advancement. Major career opportunities present themselves. It is a challenging year in which personal growth is joined with new responsibilities and challenges. This is a year of domestic responsibility and attention to the needs of family and friends. It is a time of heartfelt emotions and some sacrifice. It is a time for comforting and caring. You realize the importance of your place within your community. You will be called upon to help others bear their burdens. You are the proverbial friend in need. Deep feelings bring renewal to relationships and often a birth in the family.

You must work to create an atmosphere of harmony and balance. It is often a time when marital issues surface and need attention. However, you possess the understanding to deal with such issues effectively if you apply yourself with love and flexibility.

May is an emotional month filled with the promise and the stress of imminent changes. June is a breakthrough and a relief. September brings advancement, October self- reflection and readjustments, and December brings a sense of completion and fulfillment.

Mary, your Personal Year cycle for 2026 is 2

This is a year to carefully protect and nurture your plans. You will be like a mother watching over her children, conscious of every threat, real or imagined. You need tact and cooperation to keep yourself moving forward. There will likely be confrontations with others, requiring a subtle and gentle approach. You will have to stay focused on your goals, yet use intelligent persuasion. Being forceful may work against you; compromises will work in your favor.

You will be unusually sensitive and may wonder at times what happened to the drive and momentum you felt last year. This year requires something else from you now -- a delicate sense of balance and a willingness to go around obstacles, without losing sight of your goal. You may also experience some emotional depressions and frustrations. The year is marked by struggle, but there are many opportunities to advance your plans. This is a year of slow growth, requiring patience.

Be discriminating in your associations and secretive about your plans. Don't talk too much about your ideas; be a bit secretive; guard yourself and your ideas. You are somewhat vulnerable this year.

This is a good year to improve yourself through reading and research. Your growing awareness of the less visible and less obvious aspects of life will make you much stronger and better prepared for the future.

You must be wise in all your relationships and associations this year. You are far more capable of establishing close, even lifelong relationships this year. Because sensitivity and openness are heightened, many people find their "soul mate" in a two year.

May is the pivotal month in the year. You are extremely intuitive and sensitive. You are also self-reflecting and better able to influence your peers and situation through spiritual awareness. July brings a culmination of plans and a distinct step forward. August sees things become more concrete and brings a new beginning. September is emotional, requiring adjustments, tact, and inner resolve. The 2 year is a year of growth and advancement, but through gentle means, and the indirect use of your personal power.

YOUR RELATIONSHIP FORECAST YEARLY

Jonathan and Mary, your Personal Year cycle is a strong indication of the trends and circumstances you experience during the year ahead.

Your Personal Year cycles are based on the Universal Year cycles and, therefore, run concurrently with the calendar year.

Your Personal Year's Compatibility in 2026 is 6 and 2

Jonathan and Mary, no two cycles are so fully connected to the heart as the 6 and the 2. This is a combination that generally has only two likely outcomes - one quite favorable and the other decidedly not. There is rarely a middle road for this pairing. Fortunately, the influence of these cycles tends to lean toward the favorable.

It is highly likely you will experience major disagreements during this period, and the way you handle them will make all the difference. It will be important for you to respond to each other from your heart rather than a rational, analytical approach. You might view this cycle as a spiritual and emotional trial. Underlying emotional issues often surface under this combination, sometimes during an argument that at first seems superficial.

Mary's cycle should find them mainly focused on their own issues. The 2 tends to amplify emotions, so they might experience anxiety, inner turmoil, or self-doubt, which could make them more needy than usual.

Jonathan, you will also be strongly affected and ruled by the heart, but in a different way. You are more likely to resolve issues by bestowing generous expressions of love. This is probably just what Mary needs - unless you discount or ignore the reason(s) behind their discomfort. We all want to be taken seriously, even if our reasoning is somewhat superficial. If hearts clash and logic is on vacation, the result can be damaging.

Your key words for this period are commitment and honesty, along with taking each other's emotions seriously. Mary should try not to exaggerate them, and you should guard against patronizing.

Jonathan, your Personal Year cycle for 2027 is 7

You will experience a strong tendency to spend more time alone, to delve inside and find some answers and to reach a better understanding of yourself. This is not a year for social activities nor is it a year to try and reach goals on a material level. You will find that the necessities of daily life seem to be taken care of by themselves. There is no need to be overly concerned regarding your material needs. Without slacking on your daily duties and responsibilities, you can afford to give more attention to yourself. This is a year for inner growth. It is your spiritual and mental presence that requires attention. Improve the quality of your life, read, contemplate and gain insight in yourself. You are important now. Rest and attend to your health.

It is during this year that you strengthen the foundation of your life, after all your success in all matters rests upon the strength of your inner self. There will be many strange and unusual events inspiring you to take a closer look at life and an opportunity is there to experience the joy and beauty of life without any artificial or exterior involvement but purely the growing awareness of yourself. Too much concern and desire for material rewards, Jonathan, will turn this period of your life into a very bad experience indeed, while a "let go and let god " attitude will make this such a fruitful and pleasant year that you may find yourself wondering what you did to deserve this.

Mary, your Personal Year cycle for 2027 is 3

This is a year of expansion and personal growth. It is a time of heightened personal expression. Creativity and artistic talent come to the forefront. You are lighthearted and drawn to all kinds of social events. More than most other years, you will entertain and be entertained. You meet new and exciting people. It is a time to appreciate all that you have.

You are highly dynamic and charismatic. Your challenge is to avoid scattering your energies. You have a rare opportunity to bring forth new and creative ideas. But that requires discipline and focus. It is easy to be optimistic and enthusiastic this year and this may result in speeding up your projects. Yet there will be delays and disappointments unless your enthusiasm is based upon the reality of work and concentration.

This is a pleasant time in which friendship is enjoyed and love shared easily.

This is often a good financial year, particularly if your creativity is well directed. Surround yourself with upbeat and positive people.

You may travel more than usual, which in all likelihood will be filled with exciting people and pleasure. Control this year's tendencies towards glamour and extravagance, yet allow yourself more room to enjoy and celebrate.

You communicate well this year and are more capable of getting your ideas across.

February brings changes; June sees the completion of a project and July signals a new beginning. August can be emotional, as can November.

Your Personal Year's Compatibility in 2026 is 7 and 3

Jonathan and Mary, the 3 and 7 bring together two vastly different cycles. Your numbers are opposites in the influences they deliver. For Mary, things should lighten up like the sun breaking through after days of overcast skies. Your 7 indicates you will experience a period of self-awareness and discovery.

These differing moods could make communication difficult, which might be frustrating. Mary's light-hearted, playful disposition may have trouble relating to your pensive and perhaps even pessimistic outlook (and vice versa).

To offset this concern, do your best to acknowledge and respond to one another's concerns. Express your love, reach out, and give each other room to explore individual interests.

Mary needs to understand that the quiet, introverted mood affecting you is temporary and necessary. You should try not to be irritated by their upbeat attitude, which may appear superficial to you.

This cycle combination can have a negative effect on relationships. If you feel that you are approaching a danger zone, share your feelings as promptly and honestly as possible. Although you will both be affected by your individual cycles, you, Jonathan, are likely to be more strongly impacted.

Do your best to support each other during this period and remember, cycles are temporary by nature. Patience and tolerance are the key words for both of you.
