VIVIAN YOLANDA MERRIWEATHER

Your Core Name Numbers are 22, 7, 6

Vivian, you have a 7 Heart's Desire, 6 Personality, and 22/4 Expression number. This combination suggests you are a bit of a chameleon, capable of presenting yourself differently depending on the situation at hand. This is not a negative trait, you simply adapt to changing circumstances.

You will most likely experience conflict, however, between your loving, social 6 Personality and your withdrawn, reflective 7 Heart's Desire. Your warm, inviting 6 personality is what others first notice when they meet you. However, your Heart's Desire, the inner you, is actually somewhat withdrawn, and self-oriented. Your 6 Personality desires close personal relationships, where your 7 Heart's Desire prefers solitude and study.

Certain numbers have very specific traits that, if kept from flourishing, can have a negative impact on the quality of life. Such is the case with your 7 Heart's Desire. This is the influence that informs what you like and dislike and determines what makes you truly happy. A 7 in this position indicates you are inquisitive, serious, reflective, and analytical. These qualities must be nurtured for you to live up to your full potential. Because the attributes are not commonly rewarded in most societies, it may not be the most comfortable path to walk; however, it can be one of the most fulfilling numbers. It brings depth and value to your personality and your life.

As a child, you were probably viewed as a little different and may have often been misunderstood. Most likely, your heart guided you during the early years. You are a dreamer and idealist. However, you also have a practical, grounded side that is reflected in your 4 Expression and 6 Personality.

Your Expression number reveals your talents, abilities, and weaknesses, particularly as they relate to your career and productive life. A 22/4 in this position tells us you are methodical, detail oriented, and very capable. You are particularly adept at handling details. You are dependable, with the strength and stamina to see even the most challenging project to completion.

Your 6 Personality will be your best asset for making friends and finding a romantic partner. Although your 6 Personality will assist your introverted, analytical 7 Heart's Desire with relationships, the traits will compete for dominance throughout your life. There will be times when your outgoing, protective, loving 6 helps you feel connected, and allows you to share more intimately with those you love. You will also experience periods when the withdrawn, contemplative 7 creates a distance that is not easily overcome.

What surprises most people who have this combination (extremely introverted and extraverted numbers) is that true contentment, particularly during old age, comes at least as much from the inwardly focused 7 as the outgoing, loving 6.

Now let's look at each of your core numbers individually.

You should rely more on your own strengths and abilities. Be more decisive; don't beat around the bush and be straightforward when expressing your thoughts and feelings.

You need to take charge more often. Get off the beaten path and find original ways of doing things. Do not try to be conventional or try so hard to behave according to the expectations of others.

You possess a great talent for creativity and self-expression. Many writers, poets, actors and musicians are born under the 3 Life Path. You are witty, possess a gift for gab, and savor the limelight. Your talent for the expressive arts is so abundant that you may well have felt drawn to becoming an artist while still very young. Your artistic abilities can only be developed, however, through discipline and commitment to the true development of your talent. Commitment, concentration and hard work are the only means of bringing forth your talent.

Thanks to your gift for self-expression, you can be the life of the party, and the center of attention. However, you could easily squander your talent by becoming a social butterfly. Your creativity is the gift that can give you the comfort and luxury you desire, but not without continual focus and discipline. You are optimistic and possess the resilience to overcome many setbacks.

You are socially active, popular, and inspire people with your sunny "happy go lucky" attitude. You can be generous to a fault. Many people born under the 3 Life Path have difficulty handling money because they can be disorganized and not particularly serious about their responsibilities. You are emotional and vulnerable. When hurt, you withdraw into a cloud of silence, eventually emerging from your reticence with jokes and laughter that cover up your true feelings. You can become moody and cynical when depressed. You can succumb to sarcastic remarks, which can be painful to those around you.

When used positively, your talent for self-expression can be a great inspiration force in the world, uplifting others, and bringing much success and happiness to you.

You are broad-minded, idealistic, and compassionate. You should obtain a wide education, especially in the arts. You are highly creative. Many great artists are found under this number.

You must come to truly understand life to be of greater service to society. You have a greater social role to play that will require a blend of the practical and the humanitarian. You must have a keen sense of what will work, but at the same time directing those efforts toward some greater good. Your challenge is to find a place for yourself that has some direct benefit to others. The more you can be of service to humanity, the greater will be your personal reward on all levels -- from the material to the spiritual.

Children born on the 9th day usually take their time before choosing a profession.

You are socially oriented and have a gift of charm. You are well-liked and even admired by others. You can relate to people in all walks of life. You have a broad vision of the world and can see the grand scheme of things, including international politics and great social movements. You express your feelings well, but sometimes can be a bit dramatic. You have a strong interest in philosophy and metaphysics. Nines tend to attract money from other sources, such as inheritance or a stroke of "luck".

There is an element of sacrifice in the number 9 that demands that you learn forgiveness and unconditional love. You must avoid negative attachments. Do not hold on to people or situations because you feel that justice has not yet been done, or that someone still owes you something. Your task in life is to truly let the universe judge such situations and rely on your own forward-moving life path to bring you the necessities and rewards you deserve.

Your 6 Bridge indicates that your Life Path and Birth Day numbers can be brought into more harmonious affiliation simply by sharing more openly with those you are close to. Try not to hide your emotions. The bond you have with those you love is a major asset; it inspires and motivates you and will be of great help in overcoming obstacles.

When you communicate to others how you are feeling, you find clarity and become more decisive which are great aids for overcoming obstacles.

You are in danger of becoming a rolling stone. Your desire to experience and enjoy life can overwhelm every other priority you have. Your need for freedom dominates you. You want to try everything and go everywhere.

You must guard against overindulgence -- and even dependence upon -- alcohol, food, drugs, and sex.

You must work at establishing and maintaining long- lasting relationships. Be tolerant and understanding. This will enable you to have people in your life who are more than mere company.

You need to discipline your urge to change every situation that does not immediately suit you. Stick with projects, maintain your friendships, don't abandon people or situations the minute they become the slightest bit difficult.

If few fives are in the chart you have a fear of change and cannot let go of people and situations. This holds you in the past, restricting your growth. Learn to take prudent risks and be more adventurous.

You must learn to be independent. You will be forced to stand up for yourself and your rights. You will be faced with situations in which you will have to choose between standing up for what you think is right versus giving in to another person's demands. You will have to struggle to strengthen and know your own will power. You will have to learn to be firm and trust your judgment. Don't run with the crowd, be an individual.

This whole lesson represents the frontiers of your consciousness. Therefore, you will have to experience much trial and error, sometimes exploding with bursts of aggression, other times being intimidated and letting frustration and anger build within you until you are ready to act on your deepest instincts. You will learn your own set of values; you will develop into an individual with original and innovative ideas.

You tend to be disorderly and disorganized. You are impractical and tend to fantasize about projects or possibilities that have little value or future. You must learn to discriminate between iron balloons and those that will fly. You have difficulty finishing projects because your vision becomes chaotic and loses tract of the path ahead.

You have to learn to be aware of the details. Keep your environment clean and orderly. Be efficient.

You have the ability to be practical and organized but you must learn their value. This will cause you to incorporate them into your daily life and give you the basis for success.

This is the challenge of building a lasting foundation for your life. You will need perseverance and repeated effort. Get-rich-quick schemes will likely backfire; persistent effort is the key to your future happiness.

Your Life Path and Expression point to the need to be more decisive and assertive. Rely on your strengths and abilities and take charge more often. Be straightforward and confident when expressing your thoughts and ideas even if they seem offbeat.

Try not to worry about the expectations of others. Being less conventional and finding original ways to do things can open you to new possibilities and produce greater success in your endeavors.

As you mature, you will become increasingly occupied with the larger questions of life, reading, contemplating and searching for a deeper understanding of who you are and what this life is all about. You may turn to philosophy or religion, but will likely examine a wide array of areas, broadening your knowledge in many disciplines.

Your intuition grows stronger, as does your ability to look beneath the surface of every subject you study. You are able to analyze abstract questions and live according to your higher ideals. You may find yourself needing more time alone; your need for privacy will likely increase.

If you already have several sevens in your chart, you will have to guard against becoming withdrawn, and alienated. If you have no sevens, you will now have the ability to deepen your understanding of one particular field. You will have the opportunity to become grounded in a particular area of study.

This first period is likely quite demanding and frustrating. The need for discipline and effort is present in all aspects of your life. Trying to live up to the demands sometimes finds you frustrated by bad timing or a lack of opportunities.

This is a time to search for something to sink your teeth into. However, restrictions placed on you by your personal life may not support your need for space and freedom. This can have the effect of either turning you against most forms of discipline - making you rebellious and contrary - or becoming dependent on it, prompting you to choose a career where control from outside forces dominates (such as the military or a very tightly run institution).

This is a period where you develop a broad view of humanity and sincere concern for the well-being of others. Tolerance, acceptance, and universal love are the goals of a 9 Cycle, and people under its influence move toward those ideals.

Humanitarian principles and social service are the keys to personal happiness in a 9 Period. Hard work directed toward higher ideals is rewarded. Creative talent is enhanced, especially when joined by a larger social purpose or message. There is an element of sacrifice or letting go, as you are asked to forgive past grievances and part with negative attachments. You are inspired to live according to a higher ethical standard, with personal enrichment as reward.

As you approach the time of life when most people prefer to slow down, you continue to see opportunities and are excited about their potential. Retiring is not likely under this Period Cycle. There is promise in the air, financially as well as in personal relationships.

You gain respect and admiration, and others look to you for guidance and support. Your personal power and authority increase but you use them with consideration for others. You possess enhanced abilities as a manager, organizer, or financial planner. Your ability to see the broad picture and execute bold plans grows with age.

However, this period can be somewhat of a roller-coaster ride with a possibly of unexpected losses - the lesson of detachment is also the domain of the 8. Your key to success lies in understanding the limits of material wealth.

This is a Pinnacle of hard work and many rewards. You have the opportunity to build a foundation that will last. Your ability as an organizer, manager, or simply the rock of any institution is greatly increased. You are dependable and reliable. Your ability to fulfill responsibilities is likewise enhanced. As a result of your industry and perseverance, success is well within your reach. It is a step-by-step process in which you build something by small bricks laid one after another.

You will find yourself caring for others in a very material way. Family and in-laws can be burdensome, since you are seen as the cornerstone of the foundation.

Your life is preoccupied with details and responsibilities that must be taken care of. You have set in motion projects that are your children, demanding your constant attention. While there are many rewards, there are also many frustrations. Your sense of your own limits and the consuming nature of details may at times seem overwhelming. You must remember that things that last require slow growth. You may mistakenly believe that your progress should be faster or happen with greater ease. The need for efficiency, orderliness, and methodical systems limit your creativity. Your challenge is to be flexible and adaptable. Learn to play more and allow yourself to be more spontaneous.

Children born under this Pinnacle will tend to be serious and affected by the financial limitations of their parents. The child may feel the need to leave home early and start a family of his own. He or she must be encouraged to be more farsighted and flexible. The child should avoid jumping into the harsh realities of life too soon.

Vivian, under the influences of this Pinnacle, you will have greatly enhanced talent for dealing successfully with business and finances. This is a time of material growth, a time of expansion and reward. It is the cycle of harvest. The 8 Pinnacle also increases your personal power. You have sound judgment and vision. In fact, this is the basis of your financial success. People sense your power and effectiveness. They defer to you much more easily and look to you for answers. This makes it easier for you to use power without having to be a bully or force your way through situations. They perceive your able-ness and want to join you in your vision. Others have faith in you.

You will be able to organize large enterprises. Problems do not threaten you so much as provide a challenge. You yourself sense your enhanced personal powers and feel a growing sense of stability and centeredness. You will be capable of influencing matter in an almost magical way. As a result, you are extremely goal oriented, moving toward the realization of your dreams with confidence and clarity. Your challenge during this period is to maintain a hold on your human and spiritual values. You must remain balanced between heaven and earth. There will be enormous temptations to make money and status your only priorities, excluding the more human or immaterial matters entirely. This will undoubtedly lead to losses. You are being tested and instructed in the real value of money -- it's natural place in life. If money is placed on a high altar, overshadowing all other facets of life, you will become its slave. If you are balanced in your approach to money, and have proper perspective, this can be a truly rewarding period, both materially and spiritually. That is the true promise of the 8.

The number 8 symbolizes the balance between the finite and infinite, matter and spirit. It offers a great opportunity to grow.

This is a highly creative period. Your self-expression is greatly enhanced. Your creative and artistic talents will peak. You should do everything possible to refine these abilities and make the most of them. Many under the 3 Pinnacle are drawn to writing, the theater, singing, and dance. Your chances of success are also heightened. Hard work in any artistic field that one has a talent for can result in much reward. This is also a highly social and emotional time. You attract friends and admirers with your charm and gregarious nature. You have the ability to inspire and motivate people. Your upbeat energy causes people to want to work with and for you.

This is a lucky period, as well. You can overcome problems with considerably less effort than in the past. All of this can lead to self-indulgence and lack of productivity. Life is a little easier, which can make you less vigilant. You need focus and discipline. Under the influence of this Pinnacle, hard work is the key and the challenge to making the most of your opportunities.

Be careful of impulsive behavior or doing things on a lark. You must know your limits during this period. Be careful of your money; balance your accounts. Guard against disorderly thinking and behavior. Otherwise, you may do things you regret or simply squander away so many opportunities.

Children born under this Pinnacle must be disciplined and kept from being spoiled. An early education in the arts will inspire the child to make the most of his or her artistic talents.

You have a flexible and adaptable mind. You are quick with solutions, and you can think on your feet. You have the cunning of a fox. You can talk yourself out of the tightest situations, but your priority is often winning the contest, not being right.

You love to reinvent the wheel. You have no fear of trying an approach that seems far-fetched to others.

Your adaptability is unique, and you often manage to turn a difficult situation around to make it work in your favor.

Vivian, your strength lies with understanding people and the underlying conditions of a conflict. But you can rely too heavily on friends and family to provide you solace instead of handling the situation directly and responsibly. You may be too likely to retreat to the good feelings provided by people not involved in your situation. Responsibility is the issue here, you helped create the situation in the first place, and are an essential part of the solution. Accept your role.

You are intuitive and insightful. You are inspired and may be prophetic, but your imagination is equally strong and can cloud your objectivity. You have big plans and ideas and possess the ability to manifest them. You are efficient and want to see results. You may be eccentric, which does not always work in your favor. You are sincere, loyal, and dependable; however, you can also be quite unpredictable and overly possessive, especially in relationships with the opposite sex.

You are somewhat impersonal and may be difficult to get to know. You are not demonstrative of your affections, though you often have deep feelings and great compassion. You are competent and controlled in any situation.

You have no specific Karmic Lessons and are therefore not as vulnerable to Life's ups and downs as others.

You are active and inspiring; you are daring in business and other areas of life. You have strong likes and dislikes and live according to your opinions. You are charming and witty but get bored easily. You work hard and determined and are very goal-oriented. You thrive on the combination of enthusiasm and challenges, the lack of which makes you dull and disinterested. You are like a flare, burning brightly for a specific duration, but must move on to other projects in order to sustain your excitement.

Vivian, you have a studious and scholarly mind. You may have a genius for one particular field of study. You study a subject in depth and abhor a superficial understanding of anything you regard as important. You analyze things down to the infinitesimal particles. You want to know the inner workings of things. What makes them tick. You may be too occupied with your thoughts and tend to withdraw, especially when you are emotionally troubled. You can be extremely critical of yourself and others. You analyze personalities with an eye toward finding out their secrets and faults. Your mind can look too much on the dark side of things, as if that were the more fundamental part of a human. Your challenge is to use your fine mind constructively, and to attain faith.

You have excellent intuition, which serves you well in life.

Your emotions are powerful, and you tend to dominate in your personal and business relationships. You are likely to be the controlling partner in any relationship. You are highly ambitious. You are driven by your competitive instincts. You tend to be status conscious and want to show the world your success. Money and power are integral parts of your life. You dream of big things in life -- heading corporations, building big businesses, directing large numbers of people.

You are extremely intuitive and spiritual. You take your spiritual ideas and experiences quite personally. There is a danger of too much attachment to your ideas and thus becoming deluded.

You have talent as a teacher or minister. You have psychic experiences often related to friends and relatives and should take these messages seriously.

Your short name increases your ambition, orderliness, and capacity to complete large undertakings significantly. Your ability to manage people and direct them toward some difficult and ambitious goal is greatly enhanced. Your understanding of systems and organization is also strengthened. At the same time, you feel the burden of such lofty ambitions. High demands can cause you much self-doubt. You may be aware of more inner tension, resulting from an inner drive to manifest your ideals in reality. As a result of your Minor Expression number, your efforts are more likely to be directed toward endeavors that are truly great in scope and have a lasting impact.

Your shortened name increases your desire to study, focus, and specialize in one particular field. It increases your need for privacy, contemplation, and meditation. You turn inward more and reflect on your inner nature. You are also more likely to ponder the deeper questions of life.

Your Minor Heart's Desire enhances your intelligence and ability to deal with abstract information. You may find yourself expressing a kind of off-beat humor, as well. Sevens are highly refined and intuitive. They do not take things at face value but seek the depths of understanding.

You radiate understanding and compassion. People sense your warmth and fairness. For this reason, you attract many people who need comfort, including the disadvantaged. People tend to come to you to unload their burdens. You inspire confidence.

You can take this too far, however, sometimes playing the role of the martyr. You must guard against being taken advantage of. You are not always a very good judge of character. You tend to see the best in others.

You are very vulnerable to praise and criticism. You tend to worry a lot, causing stomach problems.

This could be a particularly emotional time with many ups and downs. The I Transit can make you feel high-strung and vulnerable to stress - and somewhat accident prone. This period requires calmness, centeredness, and an acceptance of life. Do your best to control your moods and try not to slip into feelings of self-pity or insecurity. This year should also find you quite competitive, with opportunities to achieve success and financial reward.

This is a time of strong emotional experiences, which can affect your health if you are not mindful. You may find yourself worrying unduly. It is likely that more responsibility will be placed on your shoulders, with sensitive, emotional issues involved. You will find yourself more interested in religious, philosophical, and physical studies. Your leadership abilities will be heightened during this transit.

This is a time to let go of the past and accept change with open arms. The letter W introduces new activities and exciting events. You may find yourself behaving erratically at times and somewhat unpredictable. You will need to control this tendency to prevent chaos and unpleasant results; this can be a time of explosive growth, but self-discipline is absolutely necessary. Legal issues might arise, but you will most likely be on the winning end if they do. Your health could use special attention during this period.

You must learn to cooperate with others in order to accomplish some greater good. This is not a time to lead, but to follow. You must be content to draw your guidance from the environment and those in positions of greater power. You must maintain your own center, but avoid arrogance, rigidity, and stubbornness. The more you insist on your own priorities, the more resistance will you meet. This is a period of partnerships. Your success depends on your ability to work with others.

You will be extremely sensitive and intuitive. Your powers of understanding will be at an all-time high. These abilities will give you the insight you need to perceive subtle changes in people and situations. You will therefore be better able to adapt to changing circumstances.

Your intuition makes it possible to accomplish great tasks, even though you may not be in a leadership role. The reason: you instinctively know how to react to change, and to gently advise people to go in the right directions.

Your role as an advisor or confidant is the key to your success during this period. You are learning the lesson of interdependence. You will also come to know how valuable you can be in a more passive role. It is a period to serve, to be the helper, the assistant. Your ability and willingness to work with others will be tested and rewarded. It is essential that you listen. Be shrewd in your evaluations of others and of situations, but do not enforce your judgments directly on people.

Your sensitivity will make it necessary for you to seek out harmonious and peaceful environments. Be careful of the health of your nervous system. You can become anxious more easily during this period. Therefore, seek out people you trust; share your deeper feelings; allow yourself to be supported by friends and loved ones. Keep your spirits high and avoid depression.

Music plays an important role during this period. Any musical talent you possess will be enhanced. You even possess a certain physical grace that can emerge in dancing, athletics, or simply walking down the street.

In your passive, centered way, you will be charismatic and attractive to others. People will sense your fine intuition and sensitivity and seek you out for private talks. Be loyal to friends and partners. Remain strong inwardly and flexible without. In this way you will avoid the obvious difficulties and remain on your path to success.

This is a period of accomplishment through gentle persuasion.

This is a year of dynamic change. Many surprises will come your way. Be open and ready to embrace new opportunities. Do not be overly careful this year. This is a year in which a major step forward can take place if you are willing to take some calculated risks and do a little gambling. Wisdom and prudence is the key, but you will definitely be faced with choices that require fast action and a willingness to act before all the facts are in.

This is an exciting year in which you will be required to promote yourself in order to take full advantage of the opportunities that await you. There will be increased opportunity to travel and possibly a change of residence. You will have some unexpected adventures and lucky breaks this year.

You may be tempted by the desires of the flesh: too much food, alcohol, sex, and drugs. Be careful and discriminate. You could make mistakes in these areas.

This can be an unsettling year if you try to cling to outmoded methods or characteristics. This a year to throw off the old and adopt the new. It is a rebirth and a release after last year's struggle.

This is a year in which change takes place consistently, and particularly so in April and May. July is a breakthrough, a time to enjoy life. September can be intense, while October requires tact and balance in relationships.

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.

The Duality of a 5 Personal Year and 2 Essence cycle can be challenging, Vivian. The main conflict stems from your Essence being largely focused on feelings and relationships, while your Personal Year influence wants freedom, variety, and adventure. Your 2 Essence produces a mindset that desires peace and harmony during a period when your 5 Year rocks the boat and brings change.

You will probably be restless this year, and a little tired of the predictability of your circumstances, thanks to your freedom-loving 5. However, your vulnerable 2 Essence could make you hesitant to address those feelings, for fear of disrupting your romantic (and other) relationships.
Consequently, you will likely find one side of you holding back, while the other side reaches out.

With your Personal Year delivering the dynamic 5, events and circumstances around you could be unpredictable, seemingly random, and often hectic. The conflict with your desire to maintain the status quo while your environment summons you to take chances can cause considerable frustration. It can also make you indecisive and hesitant.

Your best response is to ignore - to some extent - the tendency to be overly cautious and conventional. (Your fragile 2 Essence could make you worry more than usual.) Courage, decisiveness, fast thinking and quick reflexes are the tools needed to make the most of this combination.

Relationships that have a solid foundation will adjust and survive. Try to be sensitive to others (easy for the 2) but honor your need for change and excitement as well.

Vivian, when the 2 and 6 team up, they deliver excellent traits for strengthening existing relationships and resolving personality conflicts. After reading about each cycle separately, you may have noticed they both focus on people: friends, family, co-workers, and romantic partners.

The 2 should put you in a sensitive, intuitive, and tactful state of mind. This is fortunate, because your 6 Personal Year will likely bring relationship issues to the surface. However, due to the vulnerable, sometimes overly sensitive side of the 2, it could also be a stressful period emotionally. The degree to which this will be the case will depend upon how difficult your relationship issues are. Generally, though, discord will probably affect you more than usual.

The 2 is known to be harmonious and cooperative, which will draw others to support you. However, the 6/2 combination can also bring an end to relationships that are no longer healthy. Both marriage and divorce are more likely to take place during a period when both the 2 and 6 are in play.

This duality cycle is favorable for career, especially if you are in sales, education, medicine, banking, the legal field, or another occupation where interacting with people is an essential element. Promotion and an increase in responsibility are also common.

Finally, this is the perfect time to make healthy lifestyle changes physically, mentally, and emotionally. Both the 2 and the 6 seek balance and care. This combination creates a 4 Bridge number that tells us your best ally this year will be the efficient traits of the 4. Success will require discipline, efficiency, organization, an eye for detail, and a practical approach.

The hectic pace of last month continues. However, the nature of activities is quite different. You are challenged to keep up with events and influences that, at times, appear out of your control. If you can be flexible and adaptable, you will cruise through this month comfortably and successfully. Let old plans, expectations, and concepts go. Otherwise, stress may take a physical toll. If you are willing to take the changes in stride and "go with the flow", you will find yourself in a better position in career as well as personal life by the end of this month.

This is an adventurous, dynamic, and progressive time, with less focus on details and routine stuff. Social events and romantic adventures highlight the month. The word "adventure" is the operative word: few romances that begin during this time have the emotional depth and substance needed to survive the test of time. However, any relationship begun now still has much to teach you about life and love, so be open to all the possibilities.

Be warned, however. You may have a tendency for over-indulging your senses this month. Moderation is wisdom.

Your health may cause you some concern. In most cases, this is the body reacting to changes that have taken place during the course of this year and are only temporary. If problems persist, seek the advice of health counselor or physician.

October brings stability to the dynamic changes the year has presented. Expect increased responsibility, recognition, and perhaps a raise or promotion. This month shifts the focus to relationships with family and friends. You share greater closeness with loved ones and may find yourself giving and receiving comfort and advice. Loyalty and trust are fundamental to your wellbeing this month. If you are unwilling to trust or abuse the trust of someone else, you could experience the break-up of a relationship. Share your feelings.

If you are single, a new and lasting romance is possible. If you already have a relationship, this is the time to commit. All affairs of the heart are positively highlighted. Health problems will also take a turn for the better.

November, with the 7 playing such a major role, directs the focus to your inner self. Some people experience this month as lonely, but it doesn't have to be. You will be inspired to refine your understanding of your place in the universe. Spend time considering what you are going to do with the rest of your life. Search your soul, define your priorities, and plan your future. Study and read and think. You are observant and insightful.

Put romance, career, and financial matters on the back burner this month. There will be plenty of time for that later. If you direct all your effort toward honest self-confrontation, your future progress will be insured.

December will be rewarding in many areas of life. This is a good time for business and money matters. But don't indulge in spending money to impress others or flaunt your success.

The 8 Personal Month brings balance in all material matters. Expect some recognition in your working environment, perhaps a bonus or promotion. This is an excellent time to promote some of your ideas or any other input you have in relation to your career.

Romance is favorable too. Express your love.

January brings stability and clarity. Your career shows promise, but there is not any promotion or practical gain just yet. If you are involved in legal affairs or have wanted to take care of something that involves the law, this month is a good time to start the necessary procedures. You may be notified of an impending legal procedure that affects you or a loved one.

Study or read and enjoy the much needed quiet after last year's hectic pace. Domestic affairs play a major role during this year and begin now. However, you will be feeling more intellectual than emotional during this month. Tolerance and forgiveness will not come naturally, and you could be a little self-righteous. Try to be more flexible.

February may bring upheaval in family affairs or with friends. The 8 carries a powerful balancing energy and much of that will be directed to your relationships. The truth will come out and you will have the opportunity to heal relationships that have been damaged by misconceptions. Real relationships will become stronger but superficial ones will break down.

Rewards and recognition in your career will also come to you this month. Often, the 8 Personal Month/6 Personal Year brings considerable progress and financial gain.

Romance is also strongly represented. You meet an attractive person, but the challenge here is to approach the situation with sensitivity and awareness. If you come on strong, you will blow the opportunity. Focus on sensitivity and avoid the temptation to be rude at all costs.

Whenever the 6 and 9 team up, it is often emotional because you may have to let go of someone close to you. You experience relationships more deeply and feel greater warmth for others. You reach out for contact and substance. Other people will also be drawn to open up their hearts and minds to you. This reflects strongly in your relationship with family and friends, but also in the work-environment. People will come to you with their problems, seeking an understanding ear and a shoulder to cry on. You feel closer to your fellow man, and because of your attractive disposition you will receive much support from others.

Good news may come from your work that will boost your self-esteem. Move slowly and carefully where romance is concerned, however, because you are not in a position to make long-range plans.

This month brings new beginnings in several areas of your life. You have more energy and are ready to implement some changes in your life. Display aggression in your career and it will progress nicely. Start new projects. Take a chance. A 6 Personal Year often brings considerable financial gain, particularly in or around the months of April (this month) or November.

This is also a time in which matters of the heart come to some kind of climax. Young lovers get married, married people re-commit, and troubled relationships either work it out or separate.

The month of April brings challenges in the area of communication. Be careful what you say and how you say it, so you don't stick your foot in your mouth. Actively pursue the things you want in your career, finances, and love-life. Romance is very positive now and more people find their soul-mate during this period than at any other time during the 9-year cycle.

May is a 2 Personal Month in a 6 Personal Year and focuses on harmony and diplomacy in all relationships, including the work-environment. You are more sensitive and aware of the feelings of others than you were last month, and you will be called upon to use those abilities.

You will find yourself in the role of mediator/peacemaker in order to maintain harmony in the work place. Become a hard-nosed yet diplomatic negotiator. Find a balance between tact and sensitivity on one hand, and persistence and conviction on the other. You will be able to meet these challenges and will come through with flying colors. Financial rewards will come. Keep things organized and take care of details or else you may find yourself in chaos by the end of this month.

If you are involved in a legal tangle, and quite a few people in this stage of their Personal Rhythm Cycle are, you will gain some ground and find good reasons to be optimistic.

Romance is highly favored now, especially for new relationships.

This is an excellent time to give yourself a break. Take some time off. Enjoy yourself. Don't be too serious. This is a time of enhanced creativity and originality. Become involved in playful activities. Participate in social events. You will meet new people who offer a welcome change to the routine aspects of your life.

Your career may seem unpredictable now but will be much better next month. "Luck" in financial affairs is likely now. Romance is also favorable.

The emphasize of this month is on fun and leisure. Enjoy.

Vivian, it is a time to seriously apply yourself to your duties and responsibilities. Take charge in home, career, and community affairs. Be patient and apply yourself to routine and details diligently. Organize your personal life and your career. Tie up loose ends. Start projects that will improve your living situation such as repairing the house or starting a garden.

Someone in your circle of friends and relatives needs help. Usually, this is a younger person who has not yet found stability or purpose in life.

This month may well bring an excellent opportunity in your own career. Focus on legal affairs. Discipline and effort are the key-words for this month.

Romance takes a more serious turn. Expectations are expressed, and commitments made.

August brings some changes in work and your personal life. It is a dynamic time, and nothing goes according to plans. Play things by ear.

Your career progresses well as a result of your enhanced ability to find creative solutions. You make a good impression on some people who are in a position to reward you. There will, however, be a confrontation between you and a co-worker, with long-ranging affects. The outcome will depend on your personal strength and self-confidence. If you are involved in business deals or legal affairs, some surprising changes may take place. In all areas of your life, flexibility and adaptability are important. Your friends and family require a lot of attention. Social gatherings are frequent and will bring new relationships into your life.

Traveling, perhaps across the ocean, is possible and favorable.

Romance is exciting. Be socially active. If you are single, you could meet someone who will be a permanent part of your life.

September will force you to deal with the issues of responsibility and loyalty. Devote your time and energy to the needs of family and community. Become involved in some sort of activity that will benefit others financially. You will, and should be, concerned less with your own financial affairs, than with those involving others. Be selfless and generous in all areas of your life. It is a time to forgive and heal. You are highly aware of your bond with the people you love, as well as with neighbors and co-workers.

Legal affairs you might be involved in come to the foreground. Financially, September has the potential to be very good.

Romance is shaky. Choose your words well and follow up on promises. Don't forget birthdays.
