The Power and Limitations of Numerology
Numerology is an art thousands of years in the making. Like any Metaphysical science, it hinges on the understanding that all things are interconnected. Your numerology profile analyzes the connection between the letters and numbers linked to you, revealing your talents, strengths, weaknesses, emotions, preferences, and a range of other qualities.
To use an analogy, think of numerology's nine single-digit numbers as nine tubes of paint, each a distinctly different color. Imagine you are a work of art painted by a master artist who used every color available to create your image. The depiction is unique and complex: a fusion of bright and subdued colors, shapes and shadows, light and reflection, subtle and bold textures. The deeper you look, the more you perceive and appreciate the many layers that makeup who you are.
A comprehensive numerology profile, along with your honest reflection, can be a powerful self-help tool in identifying underlying traits and new possibilities. The better you know yourself, the more control you have over life's changes and the greater your potential for a successful, fulfilled life. Numerology is not infallible, nor does it promise to answer every question, but I feel confident you will find many things to contemplate in the following pages. You are unique, and so is your Profile.
I hope you enjoy your reading and will find it beneficial to your path of personal growth and insight.
Your Personality Profile and Yearly Forecast
PART 1: ABOUT YOU
Just as your DNA determines your physical body; a blueprint of your personality is an inborn part of you from the very beginning. Your Profile begins with insight gleaned from your name because that is where we learn WHO you are. It describes the talents, strengths, and other distinct characteristics you were born with.
PART 2: YOUR PATH
Just as your physical body grows and changes with time, so does your personality. Your personal evolution begins at the moment of your birth. From that point on, the choices you make, the goals you set, your environment, opportunities, challenges, the influence of others, and a thousand other factors alter who you become.
PART 3: YOUR PATH AND YOU
This section looks at how your name numbers (you) and your birthdate numbers (your path) work together to guide your personal growth and the changes you experience.
PART 4: SPECIFICS ABOUT YOU
Certain numbers in your chart affect you in a clearly defined, narrow way, such as your Balance number, which lays dormant until you enter a time when you are off-balance; when discord dominates your life.
PART 5: HOW YOUR CURRENT NAME AFFECTS YOU
The name you use on a daily basis, the way you introduce yourself in a social setting, has a unique affect on your life in that it, more than anything else, reveals how you feel yourself; who YOU think you are and what you represent.
PART 6: YOUR FUTURE
This part of the report tells you what your cycles are for the current year and next year, and how it will affect your life.
If there was ever a moment of transformation, it was the moment of your birth. In that instant, you stepped into a new reality - the reality of human life and human consciousness. Even at that moment you were a person with your own unique character, as unique as your DNA. The previous chapters focused on YOU, the person you are, as revealed in the letters of your name. It is now time to look at your Path, the road you walk through life, using the numbers found in your date of birth.
Your first breath marked the beginning of your journey on the road we call your Life Path. It makes sense, then, that the most important number in your numerology chart comes from the date of your birth. Your Life Path number gives a broad outline of the opportunities, challenges, and lessons you encounter throughout your life. It also reveals the strengths, specific talents, and characteristics you were given to help you overcome challenges and evolve into the best you can be.
Your Life Path number is considered the single most significant information available in your Personality Chart. It is derived from the total of all numbers found in your date of birth. However, it is important to keep in mind that the aspects described in the next few chapters will either complement, supplement, or sometimes weaken the attributes revealed in numbers derived from your name.
Your Life Path number is 21/3
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.
The day you were born bears great significance in understanding who you are and where your talents lie. Your day of birth indicates special talents you possess. It gives us an indication of the approach you will take toward the goals, opportunities and obstacles you encounter on your Life's Path.
Your Birth Day number is 9/9
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.

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.

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.
We have focused on the letters of your name and the numbers from your date of birth. We will now look at numbers in your chart derived from the combination of both your name and the date of your birth. Acquiring the attributes described in the next few chapters will help smooth your progress. As you learn more about yourself, you may begin to recognize traits you were previously unaware of.
Although the following chapters deal with less dominant aspects of your chart, they are more narrowly defined and specific in the ways they affect you.
The influence of the short name (the name you use to introduce yourself, including your last name) is minor in comparison to your full name. Interestingly, the short name often compensates in some way for numbers, and their related characteristics, that are missing or out of balance in the full name.
Your current name forms the basis of your Minor Expression number. It is usually the first and last name you commonly use to introduce yourself (not necessarily the name you received at birth).

Your Minor Expression is 22
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.
The vowels of the name you currently use to introduce yourself are the basis of your Minor Heart's Desire number.
Your Minor Heart's Desire is 16/7

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 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.
