INTRODUCTION
About
your Personal Reading
This reading was composed for you personally,
Paul, and is based on your full
name at
birth, your date of birth, and the name you now use to introduce yourself.
Please
check your birth data on the title page to make sure the names and date
of birth
used are correct.
If you have two or more middle names or
last names, you may find the names
strung
together. This is necessary to make
Transit and Essence cycles function
correctly. For example, the name John Patrick Henry
Hancock would appear on
the title
page as John PatrickHenry Hancock.
Paul, your Personal Numerology Reading
describes all aspects of your chart
as they
are understood in numerology, accurately and in-depth.
Each chapter starts with a short
introduction telling you where this particular
number is
found and how it affects you. This is
followed by the number itself.
Often,
you will find a double digit number followed by a single digit.
The meaning of your number is then
explained in easy to read language.
Paul,
you don't
need to know anything about numerology to be able to enjoy and benefit
from this
reading.
I hope you will enjoy your reading.
LIFE PATH
If ever there was a moment of total
transformation, it was the moment of your
birth. In
that instant, you stepped through a door in time into a new reality -- the
reality
of human life. The most important number in your numerology chart is
based on
the date of your birth, the moment when the curtain goes up in your life.
Even at that moment, you were a person with
your own unique character, as
unique as
your DNA. Everything that is you existed in potential, much like a play
that is
about to begin. Your entire life exists as a potential that has been prepared
for.
Paul, you have ultimate freedom to do with your life as you like: To fulfill
its
potential
completely, or to make some smaller version of yourself. It all depends
upon your
effort and commitment. You make the decisions to fulfill, to whatever
extent,
the potential life that exists within you. That is your choice. In this sense,
the
possible you is implicit during the moment of your birth.
The Life Path number gives us a broad
outline of the opportunities, challenges,
and
lessons we will encounter in this lifetime. Your Life path is the road you are
traveling.
It reveals the opportunities and challenges you will face in life. Your Life
Path
number is the single most important information available in your Personality
Page 4
Chart!
Your
Life Path is 22/4
Paul, you were born under the most powerful
and potentially the most
successful
of all Life Path numbers. It offers you the extremes of life's
possibilities:
on one hand, you have the potential to be the Master Builder, the
person
capable of perceiving something great in the archetypal world and
manifesting
it in the relative world; on the other hand, you can slip into the depths
of
obscurity, achieving little more than personal support.
Your power is delicate. It exists by virtue
of your ideals and vision, which you
must use
to inspire others to join you in your dream. Only by marshaling
collective
forces are you able to bring together the necessary elements -- people,
ideas,
resources -- that will enable you to realize your goals.
Consequently, your Life Path is one
requiring dramatic evolution. By being able
to
integrate seemingly conflicting characteristics within yourself -- your
inspiring
vision
and your natural tendency toward practicality, for example -- you develop
the
talent to deal effectively with a great variety of people. This allows you to
understand
and unite many differing people toward a single goal, melding them
into a
concerted whole. Your task in life is to unite the dream with the bottom line.
In short, you are the visionary with your
feet on the ground.
You are good at business and politics. You
naturally understand large
institutions,
and have the ability to think and act on an international scale.
You are gifted with uncommonly sound common
sense. You are able to see
the
beauty and potential in a given idea, but also the practical methods that will
bring it
to fruition. Somehow, you understand the limitations of ideas -- what will
work and
what will not. This is an intuitive gift that can evaluate possibilities on the
basis of
their practicality.
While in many aspects the 22 is the most
promising number, it is also the
most
difficult to live up to. Paul, you have a great ambition, which can be a most
difficult
master, driving you to accomplish all that you are capable of.
You are a steady partner in any
relationship. You offer sound advice and
consistent
emotional support. You do not suffer from flights of fancy, and naturally
resist
the emotional heights. You are unconventional in thought and action, but
tend to
be traditional in appearance. You avoid airs and pretension.
Paul, your challenge is to share your
vision and allow others to make their
personal
contributions. That requires flexibility on your part, perhaps your weakest
characteristic.
You often lack faith in the ability of others. Therefore, you tend to
control
people and situations, sometimes tempted to manipulate.
In the end, you must learn to surrender to
the larger cause that you serve. The
final
result may be quite different from your original vision, but with faith and
commitment
you will make an enduring impact on the world.

BIRTHDAY
The day you were born bears great
significance in understanding who you are
and where
your talents lie. The day of birth
indicates some special talent you
possess. It is a gift to you that will help you along
your Life's Path. Your day of
birth is
one of your four core numbers -- the Life Path, Expression, and Heart’s
Desire
being the other three. It is the least
significant of the four core numbers,
but
perhaps the most finite, in that it reveals a specific ability you possess in a
marked
degree.
Your
Birthday is 18
You are a born leader, an efficient
manager, capable of organizing and inspiring
others. Paul, you are especially talented in the
areas of politics, religion, art, and
law. You are highly creative and have an excellent
understanding of people.
You are broadminded and should be educated
in several different fields,
particularly
the arts. Many great artists are found
under this number.
You tend to be a late bloomer and must be
willing to take your time before
choosing
a profession. You need experience and
exposure to many different
types of
people before you find the one area in which you will specialize.
You can relate to people in all walks of
life. Paul, you will do quite a bit of
traveling
and go through many changes.
At bottom, you have a great dream for
humanity. You want to improve the
conditions
of people, whether they are in your community, state, country, or the
world at
large.
This is where your deepest satisfaction
lies -- with performing some task that
will
benefit others.
You are able to express your feelings well,
though a bit dramatically at times.
You have
a calm and even aristocratic appearance.
However, beneath it there is
a sense
of frustration with not having received your due in life -- either from
parents,
co-workers, or your community.
Your challenge is to learn acceptance and
forgiveness. There is an element of
sacrifice
in your life. You need to let go of all
negative attachments. Any thoughts
of
revenge will backfire badly against you.
You need to employ your spiritual and
philosophical
outlook in all matters in which the balance seems to have been
struck
against you.
You attract money from all work that is
service oriented. The more you do for
others,
the more you receive - - spiritually and materially -- in return.
EXPRESSION
Page 6
Your Expression number reveals your
physical and mental constitution, the
orientation
or goal of your life. Some numerologists
refer to this number as the
Destiny,
because it represents a lifelong target at which you are aiming. You
work at
fulfilling this potential every day of your life. Thus, the Expression number
reveals
your inner goal, the person you aim to be.
The Expression number reveals the talents,
abilities, and shortcomings that
were with
you when you entered your human body.
Your name, and the numbers
derived
from it, reveals your development, as well as the talents and issues you
will be
working with during this life.
For those for whom reincarnation is an
accepted philosophy, the vibration of
your full
name can be seen as the totality of your personal evolution, the
experiences,
talents, and wisdom accumulated over many life times. Every
experience,
no matter how great or small, along this evolutionary path has
influenced
your development, and brought you to your current state of being.
The Expression is your being; the Life Path
is the major lesson you are
attempting
to learn this time around. Time allows
the gradual emergence of your
personality. By reading the Expression number below, you
will come to
understand
your basic nature and the abilities and issues inherent in your being.
Your
Expression is 11/2
Paul, yours is the most highly charged
Expression number of all. You are like a
lightning
rod, attracting powerful ideas, intuitions, and even psychic information
like
unpredictable bolts.
You are a powerful presence without any
awareness on your part of having
personal
power. You are a channel for higher
vibrations. But in order to be
emotionally
and psychologically at peace, you must learn to control that flow of
energy. You possess a bridge between the unconscious
and the conscious. The
trouble
is that the unconscious is an infinite resource, while consciousness by
definition
is a limited arena. The two are
therefore at odds until they can learn to
live in
harmony with each other. This is where
control comes in. Until you are
able to
control the flow of energy from this infinite source, you may feel like a
victim of
its whimsy, thrown about by emotional turmoil and nervous tensions.
Paul, you have always sensed that you are
different, but it was an indefinable
feeling. You are enormously sensitive and aware,
especially as a child. This
made you
vulnerable to all conflicts and painful situations. For most of your
upbringing,
however, you did not realize that other people did not possess the
same
sensitivity, nor did they see the same things you were seeing. This caused
a great
reservoir of emotion that was dammed up behind an inability to express
your
feelings, even to yourself. For this
reason, most 11 Expressions have a
difficult
childhood. Your extreme sensitivity made
you very shy as a child. This
usually
manifests in adulthood as hesitation and acute vulnerability. You are very
Page 7
careful about sharing
your feelings with others and choosing your friends.
You compensated for your sense of
separation in childhood by creating an
elaborate
fantasy world. You daydreamed more than
other children. You have a
lively
imagination and even in adulthood have a hard time separating reality from
fantasy.
Paul, your challenge is to bring forth your
primitive, earthy strength. You need
to be
grounded in order to deal with your lightning bolts. The more you are able to
call upon
your inherent human strength, the greater your capacity to take
advantage
of your extremely sensitive awareness.
Once this is accomplished,
your
antagonist becomes your benefactor.
You are highly emotional and dependent upon
relationships. Emotionally, you
go up and
down with the fortunes of your love life.
You are idealistic, impractical, and at
times disorderly. You are often
unrealistic
in your expectations.
Your reasons for doing things are usually
born of a mixture of logic, emotion,
and
intuition, which can rarely be explained satisfactorily to your more rational
associates.
The 11 Expression is the number most
dependent upon other core numbers in
your
chart for insight into your vocation.
The 11 charges every area it enters, but
it needs
a grounding vocation and discipline to be effective.
A balanced 11 is one of the most unique and
impressive of all people. It is
gifted
with insight and illumination, which it can transmit to others. This makes
you a
natural teacher in whatever area you enter.
MINOR EXPRESSION
The Minor Expression number is based on the
current (or short) name; the
name you
now use to introduce yourself including your last name.
The influence of the short 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.
For instance, a number missing in the full
name may show up prominently in
the short
name; or a number (or numbers) that appears in excess in the full name
can be
compensated for in the short name. If a
name change takes place later in
life
through marriage or for professional reasons, it adds or subtracts certain
qualities. It can also focus and intensify existing characteristics
or talents that
may be
latent.
Your
Minor Expression is 8
Your short name provides you with more
leadership abilities and business
sense. It encourages you to use more power in your
relationships and directs
Page 8
you to higher
standards of success.
Paul, your Minor Expression number makes
you a better judge of character.
You are
more realistic in your evaluation of others and their potential. You are not
easily
fooled.
You must be willing to apply more effort
toward all your endeavors. You likely
demand
more of yourself.
Your abilities as a manager, organizer and
administrator are enhanced. You
are
competitive and determined. You are more
likely to initiate your grander plans
and
visions.
HEART'S DESIRE
Your Heart's Desire is the inner you. It shows your underlying urge, your true
motivation. It reveals the general intention behind many
of your actions.
Consequently,
it dramatically influences the choices you make in life. The Heart's
desire is
seen as part of the larger picture, called the core numbers, which
includes
the Life Path, Expression, Day you were born, and Personality. But
each
points to a different aspect of you.
The Expression number reveals your talents
and abilities, and your general
direction
in life. The Life Path is the central
lesson you came into the world to
learn. The Day you were born is very closely
connected to your Life Path. It
reveals
specific talents you possess, which will be helpful to you in dealing with
your Life
Path. The Personality reveals how people
tend to see you. It also
demonstrates
what characteristics you are projecting to the world. The Heart's
Desire
demonstrates the identity of the soul that joined the earth -- you, the
spiritual
being.
Your
Heart's Desire is 16/7
Paul, you love knowledge, study, and
insight. You value the gifts of your
mind,
which you
use to great advantage to penetrate the mysteries of life. You study
things
in-depth. You search beneath the surface
of things. You abhor shallow
judgments
or opinions.
You have a natural gift for analysis and
research. Once you have grasped the
facts of
a subject, your creativity and abstract approach lifts your thinking beyond
the rudimentary
to the philosophical. You have a
theoretical mind, but rather than
indulge
in fantasies or idle thought, you prefer to base your theories upon
scientific
facts.
Paul, you enjoy mental and physical puzzles
-- figuring them out, taking them
apart,
and putting them back together.
Some people may perceive you as cool or
aloof. You are somewhat
introverted;
you may feel slightly removed and even a little different. The fantasy
Page 9
of the hermit or monk
engaged in a life of study and meditation appeals to you.
In relationships, you tend to keep things
business-like and impersonal. You
prefer to
talk about the facts of a given situation, rather than the cloudier issues of
emotions
and personal feelings. You distrust
feelings -- both your own and those
of
others. The whole emotional realm
strikes you as unreliable, and a bit
unnecessary.
Paul, your inability to fully understand
the emotional aspect of life is your
Achilles
heel. You are so rational that the
unpredictability of the heart frightens
and
surprises you.
Your challenge is to trust. You need to share your heart with
someone. This is
a
courageous step for you, but will result in enormous growth and satisfaction.
The advice here is to make a true
connection with another human being.
Without
it, you may marry out of convenience or to fulfill social expectations, but it
will not
lead you out of loneliness. The more
removed you are from people, the
more you
risk isolation, bitterness, and a cynical attitude toward life.
This choice represents a true crossroads in
your development. By sharing
yourself
with others (without compromising your independence and need for
privacy)
you can cultivate your enormous charm and share your understanding of
life. You are a natural teacher and advisor. And the wealth of knowledge you will
accumulate
in life is meant to be shared with others.
This is not to say that you must compromise
on your need for privacy or time
spent
alone to contemplate life. These are
natural aspects of your personality,
which are
essential to your growth. These
characteristics should not be
threatening
to your spouse, but must be understood as fundamental to your
being.
Paul, you are blessed with a great reserve
of intuition, which can be cultivated
by
regular meditation and contemplation.
Your "inner voice" is your greatest guide
and
friend.
You are idealistic and have high
expectations for yourself. Learn to
balance
your
serious nature with regular doses of fun.
Your intelligence and cultivation make you
charming and distinguished in
appearance. As you get older and more comfortable with
your identity, people are
naturally
attracted to you. They see your wisdom,
your deep understanding of life,
and the
refinement you radiate.
MINOR HEART'S DESIRE
The Minor Heart's Desire number is derived
from the vowels of your current
name; the
name you now use to introduce yourself.
The current name is a
refinement
of the more complex qualities of your longer name (the full name at
birth). It sharpens and bundles the energies that are
reflected by your full name.
It
intensifies certain aspects of your being , and de-emphasizes others. For this
Page 10
reason, the short
name often provides insight into what you truly want in life. It
also
often reveals the extent of your understanding of what you want from this
life.
It
reveals both your strong desires, and the limits you place upon your
potential.
Your feelings about your current name are
different from your full name. It
affects
how you feel about yourself; it changes your identity slightly.
Your
Minor Heart's Desire is 10/1
With a 1 Minor Heart 's Desire, you draw
from yourself more strength and
determination. Paul, you try to be more original,
innovative, and independent.
You value
courage and the will to meet adversity head on.
You are more willing to lead, and less
willing to follow. You are less easily
influenced
and intimidated. You are willing to
stand alone and are better able to
fight for
what you think is right.
PERSONALITY
Your Personality number is derived from the
consonants of your full name at
birth. Your Personality is like a narrow entrance
hall to the great room that is your
true
nature. It is those aspects that you
feel comfortable sharing with people at
the
outset of a relationship. With time and
trust, you invite others into the deeper
aspects
of your nature; you reveal more of who you really are, in effect, your
Heart's
Desire, Expression, and so on.
Your Personality number often serves as a
censoring device, both in terms of
what you
send out, as well as what you allow to approach. It discriminates in the
kinds of
people and information you let enter your heart and mind. For this
reason,
your Personality is usually much more narrow and protective in its
definition
than the real you. It can screen out
some of what you do not want to
deal with
-- people or situations -- but it also welcomes those things that
immediately
relate to your inner nature.
Your Personality number also indicates how
others perceive you. No one can
be
objective about himself or herself. Even
our closest friends and relatives have
trouble
describing how they see us.
Your
Personality is 13/4
Paul, you radiate reliability and
consistency. People trust you and feel
secure
with your
judgment. You are seen as a cornerstone
of a business and are relied
upon to
do your work efficiently and expertly.
You have strength and respectability. You tend to dress in a utilitarian manner,
concerned
mostly with convention, practicality, durability, and price. You present
Page 11
yourself as someone
who values correctness, control, and precision.
All of this stems from the fact that your
most prized characteristic is your work.
You want
to be judged on the basis of your performance, rather than your
appearance.
You are frugal and have learned to respect
a dollar. You are concerned about
the
security of your future and those you love.
However, this may appear to
others as
a bit too austere.
You tend to wear earth colors and
conventional attire. You could benefit
by
putting a
little flair in your dress. Wear more
uplifting colors. Loosen your dress
with less
severe lines. If you wear a brown suit,
include a bright tie or some
jewelry.
You are a family person. You love the intimacy, consistency, and the
security a
family
provides. You are a good provider and
protector. But family members
may take
your efforts for granted.
Paul, you are a true patriot. You love your country and are an integral
part of
your
community. Your consistency and
adherence to your well-laid plans usually
pays off
in a comfortable and secure future.
MATURITY
Your Maturity number indicates an
underlying wish or desire that gradually
surfaces
around age thirty to thirty-five. This
underlying goal begins to emerge as
you gain
a better understanding of yourself. With
self-knowledge comes a
greater
awareness of who you are, what your true goals in life are, and what
direction
you want to set for your life. This, in
a nutshell, is the gift of maturity:
You no
longer waste time and energy on things that are not within your own
special
identity.
No matter what your age is at present, your
life is being channeled in a specific
direction,
toward a very specific goal. That goal
can be seen as a reward or the
fulfillment
of a promise that is implicit in your current efforts, often without your
knowing
it consciously. While the
characteristics of this number are usually
visible
during childhood, we tend to lose sight of these aspects until later in
life.
But our
lives are always being affected by this influence, nonetheless.
Your Maturity number begins to have a more
profound impact on your life after
the age
of 35. The influence of the number
increases steadily as you grow older.
Your
Maturity is 6
As you mature, you will become increasingly
concerned with the well-being of
family,
friends, and community. Paul, you will
be drawn to the role as healer,
counselor,
and teacher. You have a growing ability
to give comfort and sound
advice to
those in need.
Page 12
You naturally assume the role of patriarch
or matriarch of those in your care,
no matter
how old they are. You become more
responsible and protective. You
may well
become involved in environmental protection, volunteer work or politics.
You are naturally idealistic and strive to
realize those ideals as you grow in
maturity
and in personal resources.
Your careful and balanced approach to
business and financial matters provides
you with
sound and secure success later in life.
The 6 maturity number provides
an
outstanding financial foundation for the future.
In addition, the influence of the 6
promises an old age surrounded by loved
ones.
For those who have few 6s in the chart, or
none at all, this Maturity Number
promises
the close relationships that you have strived for most of your life.
L/E BRIDGE
The Bridge numbers in your chart are the
numbers that indicate how you can
make the
relationship between the individual core numbers in your chart easier
and more
compatible. Bridge numbers have the
potential to "close the gap"
between
the Life Path and Expression number, or the Heart's Desire and
Personality
number.
In this chapter we will explain what you
can do to make your talents, strengths,
and
specific abilities (Expression number) more easily available and fitting the
needs of
your main lesson(s), and expected direction of growth (Life Path).
Your
Life Path / Expression Bridge number is 2
Paul, be more sensitive to the needs and
expectations of others. Do not rock
the boat
too often, but keep the peace and try to make things run smoothly. You
have to
use your ability to influence others with gentle diplomacy, instead of
confrontations. Be more cooperative.
H/P BRIDGE
Several Bridge numbers can be found in your
chart. The Bridge number
between
the Life Path number and the Expression number was described earlier
in your
reading. The following Bridge number
relates to your Heart's Desire
number
and your Personality number. This Bridge
number, the Heart's Desire -
Personality
bridge, explains how you can make your deeper self -- your needs
and
desires, your true nature -- more aligned with the part of your personality
others
tend to recognize when they meet you.
With a little exaggeration, you
could say
that your Personality number is somewhat like your mask. It is the
more
superficial you; a protective shield and a camouflage of the deeper you.
Page 13
You can easily
imagine how much more comfortable, and less self-conscious,
the
experience of life becomes when your deeper and more real you is closer and
more
fitting to the personality you reveal on a day to day basis.
Your
Heart's Desire / Personality Bridge number is 3
Loosen up a bit. Have some fun; recharge your batteries. Be more generous
to
yourself. Communicate your deeper
feelings without fear to those close to you.
Be more
creative, particularly in the areas of dancing, writing, acting, or
poetry.
Develop
faith in yourself.
KARMIC LESSONS
Numerology is based on the understanding
that we enter life with certain
strengths
and weaknesses. Karmic lessons are areas
that we are currently
weak in
and must be faced and worked on in this life.
There can be more than
one
Karmic Lesson. These are indicated by
the absence of certain numbers in
your
name.
The letters and numbers of your name point
to talents and abilities that you
possess. These characteristics can be compared to a
workshop in which certain
tools are
available to you. Missing numbers, those
that are not represented in the
letters
in your name, imply tools that are unavailable, and must be learned and
mastered
during this lifetime.
You may well recognize your Karmic Lessons
as weaknesses you have
learned
to overcome in the course of your life, however, the challenges implied in
your
Karmic Lessons will continue to come up occasionally for the rest of your
life.
You
have a Karmic Lesson 6
Paul, you have a major issue with
commitment and responsibility to others.
You have a hard time committing to marriage
and other important personal
relationships. You have to learn to show true emotion.
You may feel isolated and alone, but do not
understand why. The reason is
that very
often you form relationships yet remain heavily guarded, putting up a
show of
emotion without truly communicating affection or care. This can make
the bond
between you and others superficial. You
must learn to establish sincere
relationships.
Paul, you will learn the importance of
close friends and lasting relationships.
You will
learn to give and, when necessary, sacrifice.
This is the one true way to
true
friendship and lasting love.
Page 14
The effects of this Karmic Lesson are
diminished if you have at least one 6
among
your core numbers (Life Path, Birthday, Hearts Desire, Expression, or
Personality
Number).
You
have a Karmic Lesson 8
Paul, you can attract a considerable amount
of money and even be a good
business
person, but you experience major ups and downs in your financial
affairs,
due largely to your lack of caution in handling your resources.
You are highly independent and do not want
to be told how to do things. You
have
great problems with authority figures.
This stems from a kind of know-it-all
attitude
and stubborn behavior that prevents you from knowing your limits.
You will have to work at knowing how to
handle money. In all likelihood, you
will
attract
enough of it, but it has a tendency to slip through your fingers. This
Karmic
Lesson forces you to learn your limitations, and the limitations of your

diminished if you have at least one 8
among
your core numbers (Life Path, Birthday, Hearts Desire, Expression, or
Personality
Number).
HIDDEN PASSION
Your Hidden Passion reveals one or more
special strengths and talents that
you rely
upon and are available to you. The
Hidden Passion represents your
specific
field of expertise, or a concentrated talent.
Metaphorically, this talent can be seen as
having a power all its own to shape
your
life. Its existence gives you a strong
desire to develop and to express that
particular
ability. Having the talent demands that
you express it, that you
experience
this part of you, and that you live according to its nature. In this way,
the
Hidden Passion shapes your personality, and guides your life.
Your
Hidden Passion is 1
Paul, you have a strong drive to stand
out. You have a great ambition and
desire to
accomplish. You are highly competitive
and want to be the best and the
first in
everything you do. You are highly
energetic and creative. You are capable
of
influencing and even dominating others.
You have highly developed political
skills,
and can succumb to manipulation unless your ideals are high.
Ironically, there are times when you lack
confidence, especially at an earlier
age, but
you have the strength to overcome this obstacle.
Page 15
Paul, you are a survivor, a warrior, a
leader. Many great athletes and
politicians
have this
number as a Hidden Passion.
PLANES OF EXPRESSION
Each of us experiences life on four
different levels: with our physical body; our
mental
faculty; our emotional makeup; and our intuition. Each of these areas has
a
specific means of perceiving information.
The physical body is capable of
touch,
taste, pleasure, and pain. It provides
us with a sense of the physical world.
The
mental body, like the emotional and intuitive natures, perceives the invisible
worlds. Our minds deal with the world of
thought. The heart, of course, is
preoccupied
exclusively with the world of emotion.
Our feelings teach us many
things
about ourselves and about others.
Finally, we have the capacity for direct
contact
with the higher realms by way of intuition.
Intuitive insight comes in a
flash. It is not rational -- that is the world of
the mental plane -- but comes as if it
were
placed at the doorstep of our minds.
Intuition, therefore, bypasses all effort.
These
four faculties exist in all of us. But
each of us depends more on one or
two of
them for the bulk of our knowledge. Some
of us are possessed by our
senses,
while others live almost exclusively in our hearts, or minds.
Numerology indicates how we as individuals
function on each plane.
The letters of the alphabet are divided in
four categories: physical, mental,
emotional
and intuitive.
The proportion of each category in your
name gives a good indication of which
Planes of
Expression are strongest in you, and which ones are weaker.
These Planes of Expression can greatly help
you to understand your talents
and
abilities.
PLANE OF EXPRESSION PHYSICAL
Your
Plane of Expression Physical is 9
Paul, you have a strong presence. You are charismatic and have a dramatic
flair in
your personality, which may direct you to the theater.
You are also drawn to politics, publishing,
promotion, and public service -- any
career
that requires a certain amount of time before the public. You are attracted
to doing
things on a large scale.
You are a humanitarian. You are concerned about the well being of
society.
You have
a great deal of compassion, tolerance and generosity.
You are highly idealistic and a bit of a
dreamer. You are not particularly
practical,
however. Very often, you are not
understood by others, and sometimes
considered
indifferent and aloof.
In some way, you want to please everyone
and tend to give promises that may
Page 16
be impossible to
keep.
If you develop your abilities, you have a
significant chance to become famous.
PLANE OF EXPRESSION MENTAL
Your
Plane of Expression Mental is 19/1
Paul, your mind is very sharp and quick,
coming up with good and innovative
ideas in
a flash. You process information
quickly, but tend to put it in short-term
memory. You use information for a specific purpose,
but forget it quickly when it
no longer
has any relevance to your immediate needs.
You are the proverbial quick study. You pick up information like a vacuum, and
may have
a facility with languages.
You are extremely original. You love moving into the frontier of any
enterprise
to come
up with innovative methods. You are a ground-breaker.
You are witty and charming. You get bored easily.
PLANE OF EXPRESSION EMOTIONAL
Your
Plane of Expression Emotional is 12/3
Paul, you are very romantic. You are highly creative and imaginative.
You fantasize about your perfect
"other": a White Knight on a horse, or a
beautiful
princess. Your response to painful
emotional situations -- especially in
childhood
-- was to create a fantasy world to which you escaped. You may still
be doing
that as an adult, perhaps to your detriment.
Reality lacks the romance
and
excitement of your fantasies.
Paul, you can be disorderly and
disorganized, however. You can be rather
moody.
You likely have much artistic talent,
especially in writing, acting, or singing.
PLANE OF EXPRESSION INTUITIVE
Your
Plane of Expression Intuitive is 16/7
Paul, you have great intuition and insight
in abstract and metaphysical matters.
You seek
a broad perspective on all intuitive matters.
You like to provide scientific
and
rational support to all of your intuitive insights.
You have an inventive mind and likely have
a talent as a writer or composer.
BALANCE
Page 17
People experience different internal
responses to life's challenges. Some
withdraw
from difficult situations to think them through; others withdraw from their
emotions,
to try and keep themselves from feeling anything. Some explode with
emotions,
but allow the explosion to pass quickly.
Others linger with their
feelings,
holding on to them well past the time they should have let them go.
Very often, these are conditioned or
emotional responses that emerge without
thought
or analysis. Maturity and
self-development help us to learn new and more
effective
methods of handling our world and the problems we confront. Your
Balance
number provides you with the guidance on how best to deal with difficult
or
threatening situations.
Your
Balance is 3
Paul, be more lighthearted and optimistic
in your approach to problems. Try to
work with
others toward a mutually satisfying solution.
Use your considerable
charm to
influence the situation.
You can be extremely emotional when faced
with a problem. Try to control this
tendency;
you need a degree of objectivity. You
may become too personally
attached
to the solution you seek, thus failing to see that the outcome can be
beneficial
to all concerned.
RATIONAL THOUGHT
Your Rational Thought number reveals what
can probably best be described as
the way
you think. Are you a practical,
methodical thinker, or a dreamer? Do you
frequently
allow your imagination to color your perception? Are you
unconventional
and original in the face of a practical problem, or do you stick to
proven
methods?
This is the kind of information revealed
through your Rational Thought number.
Your
Rational Thought is 30/3
Paul, you are creative, but your thoughts
tend to be scattered. You jump
around
inside your head without much focus. You
come up with solutions that
reveal an
illogical approach, yet they often work.
As it applies to you, rational thinking is
a contradiction in terminus. You
project,
interpret,
and analyze your projects and problems in a manner that often leaves
others
flabbergasted. However, you are
unbeatable when it comes to shining
new and
original light on issues; often coming up with unique answers.
You have this Rational Thought number in
common with a number of famous
and
original thinkers -- and the key-word here is original -- throughout history.
Page 18
CORNERSTONE
The first letter of your first name gives
an additional indication to your
character,
particularly as to the manner in which you approach opportunities and
obstacles. The first letter is called your Cornerstone.
Your
Cornerstone is J
Paul, your J is for Justice. You are honest, loyal, reliable and
sincere. You
want to
improve the lives of others. You may try
too hard to please everyone.
You have
a clever mind and are very talented.
However, you have to work at
motivating
yourself to make the most of your talents.
SUBCONSCIOUS SELF
Your Subconscious Self reveals how you
react to demanding situations. It
indicates
your ability to get the most out of your talents and opportunities,
especially
when you face new or challenging circumstances.
The Subconscious
Self also
reveals the areas of our character that need to be strengthened.
Your
Subconscious Self is 7
Paul, you can appear indifferent to your
surroundings and somewhat aloof.
You are
well-balanced and can survive many a stormy time. In time of trial, you
withdraw
within yourself finding solace and answers, in your creative and
analytical
mind. You may be a bit of a loner and do
not easily share your feelings
with
others.
CHALLENGES
Each of us is born with both strengths and
weaknesses. Numerology looks at
life as
if it were an educational process that is meant to bring out and enhance
our
talents, and turn our weaknesses into strengths. This serves to complete our
being.
The job of becoming whole is one in which
we must face our weaknesses and
consciously
work to improve ourselves. There are
four Challenges to be faced
during
our lives. For many of us, the same
challenge is repeated, while others
have four
distinctly different lessons to learn.
The Challenges on your life's path provide
specific lessons that you must
attend
to, and, in order to inspire and help you, life will place you in situations
that
Page 19
require the specific
characteristics of your Challenge numbers.
The four Challenges you are required to
overcome during the course of this
lifetime will
influence you during different periods of your life, except for the Third
or Main
Challenge, which lasts from birth until death.
The Challenges are fluid
periods
of your life, not confined to specific years so much as general periods. All
of your
Challenges are present at birth, like actors standing in the wings.
THE FIRST CHALLENGE
The duration of the First Challenge usually
lasts from birth until approximately
the age
of 30 to 35.
Your
First Challenge is 3
Paul, you are your own worst critic. You suppress your individuality and
creativity. Each time you want to make an impression, you
doubt yourself
beforehand,
and criticize yourself ruthlessly afterward.
Your criticism of yourself
is far
more severe than anyone else's.
As a result, you tend to play it safe by
staying on the surface, indulging in
superficialities. You rarely express what goes on deep inside
of you; instead, you
cover up
your feelings with humor or perfunctory remarks.
You often feel alone and lonely.
Paul, your fear of social interaction
causes you to strain conversation by
making
too many jokes and forced joviality.
It may help you to find a creative outlet
for your imagination, possibly through
writing,
painting, singing or dance.
At the bottom of the challenge is an effort
to bring out your true self. You will
learn to
truly value your own creative talents above anyone else's judgments.
This must
be viewed as a process of individuation, in which you become a whole
human
being, independent and free of the need to conform to others.
THE SECOND CHALLENGE
The Second Challenge usually lasts until
the age of about 35 to 40.
Your
Second Challenge is 2
Paul, you are overly sensitive and too
aware of other peoples' expectations.
You
suppress yourself to avoid feeling conspicuous.
You can be overwhelmed by
self-consciousness. You fear gossip about you. As a result, you become
inhibited. All of this results in a suppression of your
own individuality and
uniqueness. You yearn to blend into the crowd.
Page 20
You let your own feelings and emotions play
too big a role. Your
hypersensitivity
causes fear, timidity and lack of self-confidence. And you
experience
unnecessary fear and emotional turmoil.
Little things seem disproportionately
difficult to overcome and sometimes have
a
paralyzing effect. Jealousy can cause
much pain and misunderstanding.
These
negative aspects of the challenge actually spring in part from positive
characteristics
you possess, especially your acute awareness and intuition. You
are an
antenna for other people’s feelings; you know before a word is spoken how
they
feel.
Paul, you lack the inner strength to
maintain your own center, and try to
conform
to the prevailing emotional atmosphere.
This challenge makes you understanding and
compassionate; you have an
enormous
empathy for the inner turmoil of others and can do much good for
people
with emotional problems.
THIRD CHALLENGE
This Challenge carries much weight and will
be felt throughout your life. For
that
reason, it is also called the Main Challenge.
As you master this challenge, your life
will come more and more under your
own
control. You will incorporate the
positive aspects of the challenge into your
character. This is its purpose in the first place. Therefore, there is implicit in the
challenge
a chance for great reward.
In short, this may be the secret to your
success.
Your
Third Challenge is 1
You must learn to be independent. Paul, 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.
Paul, you will learn your own set of
values; you will develop into an individual
with
original and innovative ideas.
If you have 1s in your core numbers or in
your Hidden Passion this challenge
will not
be as difficult to learn, or as strongly felt.
Page 21
THE FOURTH CHALLENGE
The Fourth Challenge is most strongly felt
during the latter part of our lives,
beginning
at the age of approximately 45.
Your
Fourth Challenge is 1
(This
Challenge is the same as the Third, as described above.)
PINNACLES
The Pinnacles are four long-term cycles, or
periods, on our Life Path. Each
Pinnacle
represents a particular lesson we are working on. The first Pinnacle
usually
lasts from birth to between the ages of 30 and 35 (your specific Pinnacle
periods
are provided below). The middle two
Pinnacles each last nine years.
The last
Pinnacle will stay with you for the remainder of your life.
The Pinnacles are very important. The transition from one Pinnacle to the next
is always
strongly felt. Your Pinnacles reveal the
general conditions and events
you will
experience during the period. The
Pinnacle describes the atmosphere, or
the
essential challenge you will be faced with.
You can prepare yourself for the times
ahead by knowing your approaching
Pinnacle
number.
The transition from one Pinnacle to the
next is usually prepared for
approximately
2 years in advance. The latter part of
that two year period is
particularly
strong. Paul, you will likely make some
life-altering decisions --
marriage,
job or career change, or any number of major changes in your
character.
Perhaps the most strongly felt change --
internally as well as externally -- is the
transition
from the first to the second Pinnacle.
This change usually takes place
in your
late 20s or early 30s -- the exact date depends on your Life Path number
and is
provided below. You begin to feel the
impact of this coming change
approximately
two years prior. This is usually a
difficult transition, but once
crossed
usually provides a clear sense of direction in one's life. It also gives you
a much
firmer sense of your identity. It is a
gateway to maturity.
Your
First Pinnacle (from birth until age 32) is 6
Under this Pinnacle you will be very
involved with family, friends, and your
community. Paul, you will face an increase in
responsibilities and duties, but you
have a
greatly enhanced sense of balance and perspective that allows you to
handle
emotional issues well.
Page 22
Your family demands much of your
attention. Matters involving spouse and
children
require much security, love, and sacrifice.
You are the centerpiece of
your
family, the one people come to for solace and understanding. You may feel
an
increased burden, as you carry the cares of many. You will experience a deep
sense of
being needed.
This Pinnacle is full of love, closeness,
and warmth, but you must rise to the
challenges
that close relationships bring. Paul,
you must settle and bring
harmony
to personal conflicts between others.
You are often the only one with
perspective
in a conflict. It is as if you are the
keeper of justice, bringing
understanding
and compromise to situations that are polarized.
Under the influences of this Pinnacle --
especially at its outset -- people are
often
married or start families. Children are
born, in-laws come into your life. You
are the
nucleus of a little world.
You must maintain your dignity. This is a period that makes it easier to
sacrifice,
but you can overdo it, becoming a doormat for others to step on simply
to
maintain a degree of peace. Know your
limits and maintain healthy
relationships.
This is a fine period for growth in
business and financial matters. You
attract
people
with resources who can help to further your personal goals. Moreover,
you are
balanced in your approach to business affairs.
This can bring many
rewards.
Paul, your heightened sense of harmony and
your genuine compassion makes
you an
excellent counselor and healer, especially if you already have native talent
in any of
these areas.
Personal health matters can also surface,
causing you to reflect on diet,
exercise,
and other health habits.
Your desire to help others is also increased. But this can lead you to poke
yourself
into situations where you do not belong, or delve too deeply into other
people's
personal affairs. Be careful not to
meddle or interfere.
The 6 Pinnacle is a time of progress and
growth as a full human being. You
are
capable of developing yourself in many different directions -- as a loving mate
and
parent; a sound businessperson; and as a pillar of your community. The
time
requires the balance you possess, since you can easily stretch yourself in
too many
directions and ultimately feel burned out by the demands in your milieu.
Your
Second Pinnacle (from age 33 until age 41) is 7
This is a period of inner development and
soul searching. Paul, you will deal
with the
deeply important questions of personal existence and the meaning of life.
You will
need time to be alone to contemplate your inner world. This is a time of
spiritual
growth. You will experience a heightened
sense of faith. The power of
Page 23
the universe will be
the force that carries you along.
You have an enhanced appreciation of poetry
and nature. Walks in nature
provide
great therapeutic value and spiritual nourishment.
This is a time of specialization. You will pursue some course of development
with
fervor and focus. Your ability to
concentrate will be greatly increased.
Paul,
your
desire to study in all forms -- reading, self reflection, and contemplation --
will
reach an
all-time high. Your intuition is much
more sensitive, making your path a
little
easier and more direct, since you know intuitively the appropriate next step.
Under this Pinnacle, you will become an
expert in one particular field. Your
capacity
to penetrate the depths of a subject area is enormous. You will look
below the
surface in virtually everything you encounter.
It is very possible that you
will find
yourself in a teaching role.
You must consciously work on your closer
relationships, especially with your
spouse
and children. You must explain that your
desire to turn inward is not an
escape or
an avoidance of those you love, but a deep need for knowledge.
During this 7 Pinnacle, spiritual growth,
increased knowledge, and wisdom are
the big
rewards. The 7 Pinnacle provides the
basis for contentment in older age,
because
you now begin to understand life more deeply.
Paul, your challenge is to avoid becoming
critical or cynical of others. You can
become so
withdrawn from society that you look down on others. You may forget
that you,
too, are part of the imperfect human race.
Sarcasm is the lowest form
of
communication, and a trap you could fall victim to.
Your desire to attain some high degree of
perfection is sincere. But that pursuit
can make
you miserable if you lose perspective and fail to realize the relativity of
human
existence. Perfection is a Utopian goal,
but an unrealistic ambition. It can
cause you
to be dissatisfied with yourself and others.
The 7 provides the possibility of true
refinement, insight, and a high degree of
wisdom. This deep understanding is the basis for
self-love and true happiness.
Your
Third Pinnacle (from age 42 until age 50) is 4
This is a Pinnacle of hard work and many
rewards. Paul, you have the
opportunity
to build a foundation that will last.
Your abilities as an organizer,
manager,
or simply the rock of any institution are 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
Page 24
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. Paul, 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.
Your
Fourth Pinnacle (from age 51) is 4
(This
Pinnacle is the same as the Third, as described above.)
