THE LIFE PATH NUMBER: an example.

The number 3 Life Path
emphasises expression, sociability, creativity. Entertainers will often be born under this number, which produces bright, effervescent, sparkling, optimistic people who may possess exceptional creative skills, normally related to words and communication: writing, speaking, acting etc. Achievement is through expression. The positive elements of this path include harmony, beauty, pleasure and sharing creative talents with the world
. Exercising capability in creative self-expression will lead to the highest level of attainment for this life path. The characteristics of 3 are warmth, friendliness, sociability and openness.

You are polite and well mannered and are conscious of other people's feelings and emotions. Life is generally lived to the full, often without much worry about tomorrow. You may not be very good at handling money because of a general lack of concern about it. You spend it when you have it and don't when you don't.

You are a good conversationalist both as a talker and as one who has the ability to listen to others. Accordingly, the life path 3 means you are a welcome addition to any social situation and know how to make others feel at home. Creative imagination is present, if sometimes latent, as it is possible you will not develop this talent. You have a positive approach to life and your disposition is almost surely sunny and open-hearted. You effectively cope with any setbacks that occur in life and readily bounce back. It is relatively easy for you to deal with problems because you can freely admit their existence without letting them get you down.

The life path 3 usually gives an above-average ability in some art form. This can encompass painting, interior design, landscaping, crafts, writing, music, theatre, or all of these! You are apt to be a happy, inspired person, constantly seeking the stimuli of similar people. Your exuberant nature can take you far, especially if you are able to focus your energies and talents. On the negative side, a number 3 personality may be so delighted with the joy of living that the life becomes frivolous or superficial. You may scatter your energy or abilities and express little sense of purpose. The 3 can be an enigma; for no apparent reason you may become moody and tend to retreat. Escapist tendencies are not uncommon with the 3 life path as you find it very hard to settle into one place or one position. Guard against being critical of others, impatient, intolerant, or overly optimistic.

THE BIRTHDAY: an example.
 
Born on the 24th, you have a greater capacity for responsibility and helping others than may have shown in your life path unless this is a 6. You may be asked to mediate or make peace in inharmonious situations. In family matters you will manage and protect. This birth date adds depth to the emotional nature and lends you more sensitivity. Giving and receiving love and affection is very important to you;.

THE PERSONAL YEAR: an example (excerpt).

Year 5
can often be one which brings strong challenges to face, and sometimes conflicts. This is the 'year of the unknown', and the key phrase for year 5 is 'expect the unexpected'. Roll with the changes, or be run over by them. Nothing turns out as it seemed it would at first. This applies to both good and bad; we may get unexpected 'lucky breaks', but also outcomes may fail to live up to hopes, or plans may suddenly change. The way to deal with this is to avoid set a expectations, and not allow ourselves to feel disappointed. Otherwise we may waste some or all of the valuable and necessary opportunities for growth which this year sets for us.

This will inevitably bring some difficult choices into life anyway; but even under-achievement invites conflict in Year 5 as the soul struggles to bring to human attention that part of its purpose which is being ignored or left aside. Only those highly attuned to their own path in life experience year 5 as continuing success which is in any way straightforward. For those few, it can be a major year: the central one of the cycle, in which body is most closely aligned with spirit. As by this time we are attempting to look ahead, it might be useful at this point to refer back to your previous, completed cycle, where 1995 was Year 5.

It is useful to look back and question whether anything of major importance was abandoned during the previous year 5, ie. exactly nine years ago, as if you are currently in a year five this is also a time of being given 'second chances'. Because of the opportunity for re-alignment with the soul's higher purpose, we also often have the opportunity during this year to 'pick up where we left off' in year 5 of the previous cycle. In this case we must look at the reasons why we did not continue to follow the path we were on
at that time, and make certain we have assimilated any lessons from that experience so the same mistakes or unhelpful patterns are not repeated. Never forget that year 5 is all about resuming the path toward the soul's higher purpose.

THE EXPRESSION NUMBER: an example.

Taking the name 'Mark' as an example, where M has a number value of 4, a of 1, r of 9, and k of 2 we add these together and obtain number 16. This is further reduced to a single digit, ie 1+ 6 = 7, so the name 'Mark' has an expression number of 7. (The whole name, ie. all names given at birth or adopted since, or the forename and surname together, can also be used for this purpose).

Thought, analysis, introspection, and seclusion are all characteristics of the expression number 7. The hallmark of the number 7 is a good mind which is especially good at seeking and finding truth. A capacity for analysing, discriminating and judging can mean that little escapes your observation or understanding. You are the type of person that can get deeply involved in a search for wisdom or hidden truths, and may thus become an authority on what you focus on. This may be technical, scientific, academic, religious or occult; you will pursue any  knowledge with the same vigour. You have an ability to teach and an inclination to disseminate information.

If you are inclined toward the spiritual, you may become involved in psychic exploration or religion. You tend to operate on a rather different wavelength, and even your friends do not know you well. A positive aspects of number 7 is that you are a perfectionist.. You are logical, and employ a rational approach to most things you do. Because of this, at times you can seem to lack emotion; indeed, when faced with an emotional situation, you may have a problem coping with it. You have an innate capacity to study and learn deep or difficult subjects, and to search for hidden fundamentals. At full maturity you are likely to be a calm, learned, poised individual.

If there is an emphasis on the number 7 in your makeup, the negative aspects of the number may be apparent.

The chief negative of 7 lies in the limited degree of trust that you have in others. A tendency to be introverted can make you self-centred and self-contained. Because of this you are not very adaptable, and may tend to be over-critical and intolerant. You neither show or understand emotions very well. You prefer to work alone, at your own pace and in your own way.

THE ACCOMMODATION NUMBER: an example.

A 9 house is can prove an interesting contrast in living styles. Generally seeming comfortable, quiet and cool, it is restful and rejuvenating. There is a tendency towards self-awareness and self-improvement, and a generosity of approach which inclines the inhabitants to share what they have with others. Artistic and creative talent may be present, and this home is a positive place in which to receive and explore inspiration. It is somewhere to work quietly on such ideas, uninterrupted, and perhaps alone. There may be a sense of time standing still here.

But, as the healing energy in this house is strong and magnetic, it will attract those seeking it, so there may be a number of visitors for this purpose. It has the right vibrations from which to run a healing practice. Teaching of spiritual matters, classes in healing or metaphysical gatherings may take place here. It is therefore a good place to live for teachers, artists, philosophers, nurses, doctors, healers, care-givers, humanitarians, spiritual leaders and those who have an interest in wholistic approaches and global healing, a well as world travellers .

People who visit a number 9 house will leave it feeling they have experienced something special. They will generally feel more relaxed and rested than they did upon entering.
