Why another web site on Numbers and Planets?

This site (no longer online) takes the best information from Astrology and marries it to Numerology. Knowledge is power. This site is full of wisdom. With it you will improve your relationships with others, which will have a direct correlation with how much money you will make over your lifetime. You will learn how to size people up quickly and accurately and improve your social skills. I gained this knowledge through the school of hard knocks. I wanted to share my knowledge with others so that they do not make as many mistakes in theses areas as I have. I also wanted to correct the errors found in traditional Numerology and Astrology. First I would like to say that much of the things taught in Astrology are true. I am grateful for the countless number of people who have helped preserve this knowledge in the world. I am also grateful for the Numerologists and for their knowledge as well. Over the years I have fine-tuned these two subjects and have found some areas in need of improvement. I hope that the readers of this site will allow me to explain where the errors are, as well as to suggest some ways for improvement.

I have found that Numerology calculates the Life Path number wrong, and Astrology puts too much of an emphasis on the Sun sign when interpreting peoples personalities. I have found that signs are accurate for events but not always people. To understand personalities I look for trends. I also use the rule of three. Simply put I look for situations that give the same interpretation at least three different times or ways. I have found that the house that holds the persons sun is a stronger indicator of personality than the sign. If a person has their sun in the fourth house they will act more like a cancer. If they have their sun in the 9th house they will act more like a Sagittarius. These have been my observations. I also look for what house the planet Mars is in. I also look for the aspects that the planets make to each other. However I emphasize the Sun, Moon and Ascendant or Rising Sign. Now before you label me a radical rebel I ask that you have an open mind and don’t leave the site in anger just yet. The fact that you are reading a New Age site should help you to have an open mind. You know that you’re closed minded traditional friends would never be caught dead reading such a site. Maybe you are that traditionalist and just looked up this site due to curiosity. I ask that you have an open mind too. If you do I promise you will learn much. Now I want you to listen to a little story about my life and how I as a Christian have learned to accept and incorporate some of those “radical New Age beliefs” into my own life. Maybe you are not a Christian and believe in another Philosophy or God; I ask that you have an open mind as well.

I have always been fascinated with numbers. When I was a kid I always wondered why the earth was flooded for 40 days & 40 nights. Why 40? Why not 39 or 20 or some other number? Like most people I dropped the subject when the answers didn’t come quickly. I went to school and got a respectable degree in business. Around the age of 38 I started questioning if I wanted to work in business for the rest of my life. I started to read about different types of jobs. As I was investigating some subjects on history religion and philosophy, my brother sent me a strange book. It’s message was that early language and letters doubled as numbers. These numbers all had meanings. I then got some books on Numerology. At first I was skeptical and thought it was all hogwash. Then I started to test it out. I decided to test it out on the name of the first man on earth. I analyzed the name Adam. It came out 10/1. According to the Bible. Adam was the fist person on earth, bear with me on this and don’t leave because you believe we evolved from algae. Eve came out 14/5 the number of life or living. I started to take it a bit more serious and studied the subject in greater detail. After doing so I started to share my new found knowledge with some friends. To make a long story short I found out that not everything was correct. My friends found some holes in the way some critical numbers were calculated. Shaken but not defeated I looked for where the errors were. I by nature like to be conservative and traditional but if information is wrong I am the kind of person who wants to make it right.

That in a nutshell is what this web site is all about. It is the result of a study that took over seven years and encompasses hundreds of books. If you have always felt that there was some truth behind Numerology or Astrology but couldn’t agree with it all, this site is for you. Maybe you’re a pure rational logical type and don’t believe in the psychic. Albert Einstein studied Astrology and gained from it. Many other modern and older scientists studied these subjects. In its pages I will explain in detail the true meaning behind the numbers and the planets. I will also explain such topics as pre-earth life (Mormon Doctrine (-BCM)), which has been labeled by New Ager’s as reincarnation and give the true meaning behind such subjects. What started out as a curious look at a subject has blossomed into a site that encompasses History, Religion, Philosophy, Psychology, Mathematics, Physics, and Meta-Physics. My journey encompasses information from the beginning of time till the present. It embraces the philosophies of modern day personality and career studies such as Myers Briggs, and Holland Codes as well. I promise you one thing; you will look at life much differently after reading its pages. This site has taken several years to publish. I wanted to make sure it was accurate before I had it published. I knew it would have the potential to change lives and I wanted it to be accurate, as I knew people would be making decisions that would affect their lives. This site is written as an intermittent or advanced level on the subjects of Astrology & Numerology. If you are a beginner, you should read it but you will also need some beginner’s sites or books as well to understand the basic terminology. I will gear it toward a new reader but I will not explain in detail all the terminology. I will be pointing out where the errors are and where the traditionalists are correct. I wish you the best on your journey as you read this site and as you apply the principles contained in it.

Life Path

The main reason I wanted to write this web site is because of this issue. I believe that Numerologists in not considering a persons sun sign number comes up with a wrong life path number. After inventing my method of processing the life path I wanted to see if it worked. I simply substituted the energy of the sun sign for the month. I took very important peoples dates of birth and determined the dates and years when important times were to happen in their lives. I then researched their lives through bibliographies to see if history recorded any major events occurring at the pivotal years. I found to my delight that the history of the events did in fact correspond to the projected dates. It is one thing to have a theory but I wanted that theory to match reality. If it did then more weight could be given to the projected dates that are to occur in our own lives. It is important to calculate the correct life path as that not only points the person in the right direction but it also has a direct impact on the timing and the type of pinnacles and challenges a person can expect to have. I believe that one reason people do not use present day numerology is because it calculates the wrong info. People loose faith in it because it does not match reality. I have calculated the correct data with many important people but to save space I will report on the lives of just nine people. [not presented here -MMmeta] These span the years from 1706 to 1955. Lets look at the birthdates of these people and see if we could have foretold some important dates and explain the high points and challenges these people faced. Then lets see if history backs this up. The first thing to do is to know how to calculate a person’s sun sign month. I will list the sun signs and the proper numbers that correspond to each one. To be the most accurate a person should run a chart and see what degree and sign he or she was born under. Sun signs can change from year to year but in general they follow the following pattern. (If your birthrate is near a cut off date then you should check to see what your actual sun sign is.) In general the dates are as follows: If you were born from -

March 21st to April 19th = Aries ..... = 1 = Mars

April 20th to May 20th . = Taurus .... = 8 = Venus

May 21st to June 21st .. = Gemini .... = 7 = Mercury

June 22nd to July 23rd . = Cancer .... = 2 = Moon

July 23rd to Aug 22nd .. = Leo ....... = 3 = Sun

Aug 23rd to Sept 22nd .. = Virgo ..... = 7 = Mercury

Sept 23rd to Oct 22nd .. = Libra ..... = 6 = Venus

Oct 23rd to Nov 21st ... = Scorpio ... = 11 = Pluto

Nov 22nd to Dec 21st ... = Sagittarius = 5 = Jupiter

Dec 22nd to Jan 19th ... = Capricorn . = 4 = Saturn

Jan 20th to Feb 18th ... = Aquarius .. = 9 = Uranus

Feb 19th to March 20th . = Pisces .... = 5,0 = Neptune

The following information is explanations or delineations of what any given pinnacle or challenge number would mean for you.

Pinnacles

The 1 Pinnacle

The influence of the number 1 pinnacle is a drive for independence; the desire to express one's individuality using original ideals; leading and directing others, attaining achievements and being recognized for them.

First Pinnacle...1

With a number 1 first pinnacle, most of your youth was probably spent learning how to use original ideas, how to lead, how to rely on yourself without being egotistical, stubborn, self-centered or dominating. This is a period to learn leadership and it may not product the opportunities you would like. It is primarily a learning time.

Second/Third Pinnacle...1

With the second pinnacle and the third pinnacle providing number 1 energies a degree of aggressiveness becomes apparent in your demeanor. Your ability to get ahead and develop your talents is limited only by your own initiative. Your achievements are likely to very apparent to the public and a sense of independence allows you to assume a leadership role

Fourth Pinnacle...1

With the number 1 energies imposing itself on the latter stages of your life, any desire to retire or slow down will be unfulfilled. Challenges and changes will mark this part of your life. Responsibilities and accomplishments will be based on the ability to lead, direct, and express your own individuality and original ideas.

The 2 Pinnacle

You are apt to be a very sensitive person during this pinnacle, even if sensitivity is not indicated in your basic makeup. The 2 shows patience and attention to detail. The general influence of the number 2 pinnacle is that of responsibilities, which may cause feeling of restrictions. There is a close accord with home, family, children, and those in your environment for whom you feel responsible.

First Pinnacle...2

Since this pinnacle is experienced early in your life, it may tend to make you an over-sensitive child, and you may be easily hurt or offended. You may experience early difficulties with expression, both verbal and emotional. Your mother is apt to be the stronger influence in your life throughout this period. As a young person you are likely to find much duty and responsibility related to home and family. There may be strong feelings of limitations because of these pressures. It is a period for you to attend to the demands made on you for family and close friends rather than self. Often, the two pinnacle suggests a person who is under the close dictates of a parent or of some authority figure.

Second/Third Pinnacle...2

The work you do may be very detailed and demanding during this period.

Fourth Pinnacle...2

As a last pinnacle, the 2 brings home the rewards and pleasures of family, security, and a close circle of friends. You are likely to find yourself giving back some of the nurturing and attention that you received in the early part of your life and you will find it necessary to control a tendency toward sensitivity.

The 3 Pinnacle

The general effect of the number 3 pinnacle is one of light, enjoyable activities. Travel, social activities, friends, and entertainment are much a part of your life during this pinnacle. You nature is more affectionate and outgoing. Personal expression is developed, particularly verbal expression. Any latent artistic or creative talents are apt to exposed now. Life seems to flow toward you during a 3 pinnacle, thoughts are of the present, not so much the future nor the past. Being with people and having fun is essential. Attitudes are youthful; easy come, easy go. Variety in work and play is likely. Money is not a concern so long as you can get by. Thinking, using your imagination, dreaming, these are all a large part of this period.

First Pinnacle...3

This is a difficult number to handle on the first pinnacle, for while there may be many opportunities to develop artistic or creative potential, you may not recognize them or be willing to work as hard as may be required for the development of these opportunities. There is a tendency to scatter energies and work on the wrong ideas. You may be too busy having fun to worry about the future.

2nd and 3rd Pinnacle...3

With the number 3 directing activities of the second or third pinnacle, responsibilities and accomplishments will be greatly dependent on social demeanor and general influence. This pinnacle may bring about opportunity for writing, speaking, interior designing, or some form of participation in the entertainment arts. Imagination and feelings are stimulated.

4th Pinnacle...3

There is a good possibility of much travel, social activity and entertainment. This transit usually promises freedom from financial worry in the later years. While there is a tendency to drift in relative comfort, this is a time when you can be at your creative best.

The 4 Pinnacle

The general influence of the number 4 pinnacle is that of a practical, realistic approach to life. This pinnacle demands a higher degree of order, system and organization. You tend to adopt a very conscientious and dependable response. Hard work and determined effort mark your attitude now. It seems as though you have an emotional need for work and truly thrive on it.

First Pinnacle...4

With the 4 influence in your first pinnacle, this can be a demanding period in with you are required to work due to economic circumstances, or in which you are a highly motivated person in your pursuit of education. In either event, you may not be so active in normal youthful activities because of your work schedule.

2nd or 3rd Pinnacle...4

With the number 4 second or third pinnacle, your ability to get ahead and achieve will no doubt be directly associated with your ability to out work the competition. Sometimes, this pinnacle brings a sense of economic limitation. This is likely to be a period of building and steady growth.

4th Pinnacle...4

With the number 4 fourth pinnacle, any desire to retire or slow down is not likely to be fulfilled. You are not the type to relax and enjoy leisure activities. It is important to work and feel the sense of accomplishment. In some unfortunate cases, economic conditions retard the ability to retire and enjoy life.

The 5 Pinnacle

The general influence of the number 5 pinnacle is that of freedom and a lessening of responsibility. The tendency toward change, sudden and unexpected, may enter you life during these years. You may tend to develop more variety in your friends, you work duties, and in your outside interests. You will probably be adventurous and inclined to travel. Your financial circumstances, like everything else in this cycle, can change rapidly, both up and down.

First Pinnacle...5

This can be a difficult first pinnacle because it is hard to find the stability to establish yourself and build a suitable foundation for latter life. You are likely to experience moves that require you change schools and friends. As a first pinnacle, the 5 has you living by your own set of rules, even if you are raised in a tradition family. You are more resourceful that others your age, but you may also tend to get into more trouble. Impulsiveness and a craving for independence are both strong in your nature during this period.

2nd or 3rd Pinnacle...5

With the number 5 pinnacle coming in mid-life, your ability to progress and achieve in may be linked to your ability to function comfortably in a fluctuating environment. Your ability to adapt is very critical. The sense of freedom that you have now is very significant. The caution here is not to burn too many bridges because of your urge for freedom, travel, and adventure. You may need that job (or family) later on.

Fourth Pinnacle...5

With the fourth pinnacle showing 5, any desire to retire or slow down is not likely to be fulfilled. Change and variety will continue to keep your occupied and busy. If you are adaptable, this can be a very interesting time in your life. In most cases, a final pinnacle of 5 means freedom from financial or domestic worries.

The 6 Pinnacle

You are tactful and cooperative, and willing to work with relatively little recognition. The general emphasis of the number 6 pinnacle is that of friendliness, cooperation and harmony. You are apt to be involved in service work. The 6 vibrations have a very balancing effect on circumstances during this period. You are apt to receive many opportunities to serve and help others; teaching, counseling, and promoting harmony and diplomacy.

The first Pinnacle...6

Ill-advised marriages at an early age sometimes occur.

2nd/3rd Pinnacle...6

Your accomplishments during this productive period of your life will greatly depend on your abilities to work with other people, promote harmony, and show patience and a willingness to wait for credit due based on your contributions.

Forth Pinnacle...6

This latter part of your life should be harmonious whether you are retired or continue to work. The key to fulfillment will be patience, tact, and cooperation.

The 7 Pinnacle

The general influence of the number 7 pinnacle is that of learning, investigating, and gaining skills. The number 7 is a somewhat introverted number and you will tend to be more of a loner while the pinnacle is in effect than you will be in other times of your life. You will be more comfortable working alone, and while marriage is not out of the question during this time, it will take a good bit of effort. You are apt to need periods of isolation to develop inner resources. This time will be especially marked by your lack of interest in material matters and little concern with practical affairs. This lack of concern can result in some financial shortages, limited material benefits, or possibly physical handicaps.

The First Pinnacle...7

With the number 7 first pinnacle, your circle of friends will not be large. You are a serious student, motivated to learn by inner yearnings. Your youth may be a difficult and confusing time.

2nd/3rd Pinnacle...7

Unless you are involved in some sort of research or possibly religious or philosophical endeavors, your progress during this pinnacle will be painfully slow. Your accomplishments are simply not the type that bring financial benefits as desired or expected. The benefits of this pinnacle are much deeper and internal.

Fourth Pinnacle...7

With a number 7 fourth pinnacle, your later years will be a quiet time when you will be chiefly involved with the development and refinement of your inner being. This is a time for study, development, and thinking about life in philosophical ways. During this period it may not be easy for you to find individuals with whom you truly feel comfortable unless your spouse has similar attitudes. Be patient for people will come to you for what you know.

The 8 Pinnacle

The general influence of the number 8 pinnacle is that of business and commercial activity. There is a good deal of status orientation, success, and recognition associated with this number, and your financial circumstances and personal status are apt to changing during this period, with improvements likely to occur. The tone of the period is more on the pragmatic side, stressing organizational and management abilities. Emotions tend not to be a motivating factor.

First Pinnacle...8

With the first pinnacle featuring the influence of the number 8, you may become involved in business or commercial activity at an early age and face some restriction on this account.

2nd/3rd Pinnacle...8

During this period of your life you are apt to become very deeply involved with being a executive (or perhaps being married to one). You will begin to rely more on rational feelings and less on emotional impulses. You are more ambitious and success oriented.

Fourth Pinnacle...8

With the number 8 fourth pinnacle, business and position will make retirement at the normal age unlikely. Circumstances in the later years may be an atmosphere of status and power.

The 9 Pinnacle

The general influence of the number 9 is that of humanitarianism. Irrespective of which pinnacle of the life is colored by this influence, the trend will be to feel and express greater concern for those who are weaker, poorer, and less fortunate than yourself. The 9 denotes a degree of selflessness not show in any other number. The attitude is more humanistic, philanthropic and emotional.

First Pinnacle...9

Selflessness is often difficult for a young person, so the tone of this influence may be but barely detectable. You may be the type of person who is a friend to those who have few friends, a protector to those who might be the favorites of bullies, and generally a helping person in whatever way you talent permits. As you mature in our modern society, you are apt to embrace humanitarian political views and ideals.

2nd or 3rd Pinnacle...9

With the number 9 energy apparent on the second or third pinnacle, you may at times express very emotional and dramatic humanitarian views and ideals and become a champion of the need for tolerance and compassion in the world. You may possess a universal view of the world, working in ways that will benefit mankind.

Fourth Pinnacle...9

With the fourth pinnacle showing the number 9, your work in the latter part of life will tend to be more philanthropic, allowing you to give much more of yourself, and if your financial circumstances permit, your assets, to causes that benefit mankind. Certainly, you have a more caring attitude now than in earlier times of your life.

The 11 Pinnacle

The number 11 is the first of the master numbers. The influence of this number is somewhat philosophic and illuminating. The 11 vibration has associations with spiritual and metaphysical studies and understanding. It has associations with the reformer, the philosopher, the welfare worker. With the number 11 energies influencing behavior in any stage of the life, there is a significant lessening of material goals and desires. In fact, thoughts may tend to stray a bit from the practical and the mundane, irrespective of the life path you may be following. A certain disassociation with mundane reality can cause problems with associates in the environment. Frequently, there is a heightened sense of nervous tension associated with this energy.

First Pinnacle...11

With the number 11 first pinnacle, you may identify with some of the foregoing, however, it is difficult for a young person to use the general influence productively. Thus, the background tone of this period is perhaps better communicated through use of the number 2 energies. Since this pinnacle is experienced early in your life, it may tend to make you an over-sensitive child, and you may be easily hurt or offended. You may experience early difficulties with expression, both verbal and emotional. Your mother is apt to be the stronger influence in your life throughout this period. As a young person you are likely to find much duty and responsibility related to home and family. There may be strong feelings of limitations because of these pressures. It is a period for you to attend to the demands made on you for family and close friends rather than self. Often, the two pinnacle suggests a person who is under the close dictates of a parent or of some authority figure.

2nd/3rd Pinnacle...11

With the 11 pinnacle occurring in the second or third stage of your life, you may take on much the same implications as the 2 pinnacles, however, responsibilities and accomplishments of significance will contain the tone of the inspirational nature of this number.

Fourth Pinnacle...11

With the 11 pinnacle occurring in the fourth stage of your life, your responsibilities and accomplishments of significance will contain the tone of the inspirational nature of this number, and it is probable that your work later in life or your retirement years will carry this influence.

The 22 Pinnacle

The general influence of the 22 pinnacle is one that many people cannot readily attain. This is the larger of the master numbers and the connotation of 22 is that of master builder. It inclines toward large-scale endeavors in business or government. It denotes vast influence and power. Both of the master numbers are highly idealistic, but the 22's expression of idealism is in obtaining practical goals and useful projects. At any stage of the life, the number 22 tends to create a significant degree of nervous tension in the individual.

First Pinnacle...22

Young persons, except in very rare instances, are unable to use the general influence of the 22 productively. Therefore, the background tone of this pinnacle is more in tune with the number 4. With the 4 influence in your first pinnacle, this can be a demanding period in with you are required to work due to economic circumstances, or in which you are a highly motivated person in your pursuit of education. In either event, you may not be so active in normal youthful activities because of your work schedule.

2nd/3rd Pinnacle...22

With the mid-life 22 pinnacle, many great things are possible. Much depends on the life's development and preparation up to now, and whether you possess the capacity to bring about such endeavors. If you have not received the opportunity for education and developed sufficiently to anticipate the responsibilities of the master number, it's likely that the reduced number 4 will better describe the tone of this period. With the number 4 second or third pinnacle, your ability to get ahead and achieve will no doubt be directly associated with your ability to out work the competition. Sometimes, this pinnacle brings a sense of economic limitation. This is likely to be a period of building and steady growth.

Fourth Pinnacle...22

If you have the capacity to achieve the statue of master builder forecast by this pinnacle, business endeavors with idealistic ends will likely preclude retirement.

Challenges

Challenge 0

The obstacles of life during this period may not be many, or they may be coming from all directions. The challenge of the number 0 is called the challenge of choice. You are likely to have difficulty acting on your preferences. You are perfectly capable of analyzing a situation and realistically comparing possible solutions. The challenge of 0 may make this decision to requisite action very difficult for you. To overcome the challenge, it should be understood that you must have the faith in your own abilities to the extent that you can analyze, make a choice, then act with ease and comfort. This challenge is one that is normally found on in a highly evolved individual and an individual who can be expected to make your own decisions about life and know where the pitfalls lie. To meet the challenge of 0 you must have control of all of the numbers; the independence of 1, the responsibility of 2, the optimism of 3, the application of 4, the understanding of 5, the adjustment of 6, the wisdom of the 7, the constructive power of 8, the universal service of 9. In other words, to meet the challenge of 0 in your life, you must be a very gifted person.

Challenge 1

The challenge of the number 1 suggests that in these years, you are likely to feel dominated by others with strong influence, probably parents or others with whom you compete. The challenge of the number 1 is avoidance of being dominated, but doing so in a fashion that does not impose upon or dominate others. With the challenge of the number 1 it's extremely important to control the ego, and avoid the negative aspect of individuality. False pride, pomposity, egotism are issues to be guarded against now. You are now in a period of learning about self-reliance and how to solve your own problems independently. Learn to rely on your wit and your intelligence, avoiding argumentation and resentfulness.

Challenge 2

The challenge of the number 2 suggests you are likely to be extremely sensitive and more or less brimming with feeling. You find it hard to work with people because your are afraid of being criticized or, worse yet, ignored. You have a good deal of self-doubt and a definite lack of self confidence. There is a tendency to constantly worry about the opinion that others have of you. There is likewise a tendency to use this sensitivity in a negative way. Used more positively, your keen sensitivities can be a significant strength, allowing you to be acutely aware of so much of with others rarely perceive. But during this period it will be hard for you to assert yourself and make decisions. You will shy away from positions of authority and responsibility. This can be a time for accumulation of wisdom, as you show patience and pay close attention to detail. Try not to take things too personally. Friendships are a source of deep satisfaction to you during this time. Do not let details overwhelm you and keep you from seeing the big picture. Plan for slow growth rather than immediate gain.

Challenge 3

The challenge of the number 3 suggests a tendency to scatter talents and try to do too many things at once during this period of your life. You may have a fine imagination and a gift for words, but you find it hard to express yourself effectively. Though you know you should cultivate friends and be sociable, you tend to be somewhat reclusive and defensive. You may have a talent for writing, acting, or speaking, but you are reluctant to involve yourself with these sorts of activities because you do not like to face the prospects of criticism. You are expressing yourself with a negative emphasis, hiding your creative talents behind a wall of shyness. You must strive to develop yourself in a social and in a creative sense.

Challenge 4

The challenge of the number 4 suggests a difficulty with work. Either you simply don't like to work, don't like the work your are forced to do, or you have difficulty completing tasks and working efficiently. You may be careless and lack a sense of practicality. Often this challenge makes it hard to see the forest for the trees when it comes to work and obligations. It is important for you to learn patience, understanding and the practical, common sense way of dealing with mundane responsibilities. You may also need to learn the importance of working within the parameters of a time schedule.

Challenge 5

The challenge of the number 5 suggests that your challenge is to overcome the desire and the demand for freedom at any price. This challenge number is very difficult to handle because, with it, you are apt to be extremely impulsive; you want to try everything at least once, and you are rather unstable in many ways. Change may be necessary for you, but it must be handled in an intelligent and controlled manner. Make certain that the desire for change is not associated with a desire to escape responsibility. In any event, this challenge requires that you learn as early as possible in life to control your impulses.

Challenge 6

The challenge of the number 6 suggests that you may have difficulties because of your insistence on extremely high standards. You are apt to appear authoritarian, intolerant, and a little self-righteous. It is hard for others to live up to your standards of expectation. Many of your considerable talents for balancing situations are used with a negative emphasis. Avoid creating friction in relationships and strive for harmony. You must learn that your diplomatic approach will only be appreciated if others feel that their needs are met, their desires understood, their point of view respected. You must learn to allow others to set their own pace, make their own rules. This challenge requires learning unconditional love and acceptance. Respect your ability to compromise and grow in a quiet way.

Challenge 7

The challenge of the number 7 suggests difficulties brought on by your discomfort with your own inner feelings; feelings of a reserved attitude and unexpressed emotions. You may feel unable to better your situation, or to change and improve circumstances. There is a tendency with this challenge to be a chronic critic and complainer, while offering little or nothing as a suggest to correct the faults that are found. The sense of discrimination is strong, but it is expressed in a very negative way. A sense of false pride tends to keep your real feelings buried beneath the surface. Avoid a tendency to approach people in a very reserved and aloof way, and develop faith in your own abilities rather than dwelling on your limitations. Marriage is apt to be delayed until this challenge is overcome, or if married, this can be a difficult time.

Challenge 8

The challenge of the number 8 suggests an early life assumption that satisfaction can only be gained and safeguarded by adequate material accumulation. There's likely to be considerable effort exerted to attain money, status, and power, sometimes to the exclusion of almost all else. The number 8 challenge indicates that you are/were using your concern with material matters with negative emphasis. You must learn to use your ability to gain money, status and power with a sense of proportion and an awareness of the relation of material affairs to other matters, and deal with the material world in a comfortable manner.

I have demonstrated a new and different method to calculate your life path and pinnacle and challenges. I believe this method is much more accurate than the old traditional way which is taught today. I hope you enjoy it and receive the same info whether you do a Numerology reading or an Astrology reading. With this method I believe you will. Good luck with your life from Alden Beaman.

Alden Beaman: Astrology and Numerology 2

An overview:

One of the first errors I found in Numerology had to do with January being assigned to the number 1. According to traditional Numerology if a person was born in January that month was given the number 1 when figuring out a persons “Life Path”. This is because in our modern society January 1 is considered the first day of the New Year. However long ago the fist day of the year was during the Spring Equinox, on or around March 21st of each year, which corresponded to the sign of Aries. In Numerology Jan is 1, February is 2, March is 3, April is 4, May is 5, June is 6, July is 7, Aug is 8, Sept is 9, Oct is 10, Nov is 11, and Dec is 12. That seemed too easy, too simple. I didn’t know much about Astrology at the time but I knew that Aries was described just like they described the number 1. (Leader, first, pioneer etc.) Numerologist described the number 4 as foundation, structure, order, and conservative. That sounded a lot more like the sign of Capricorn than Aries. I also wondered how Numerologists who were also Astrologers could accept this on blind belief. Surly there were other people who understood this subject better than I did. The books I read never question this. Why? I noticed that every expert said the same thing. The information was only memorized and regurgitated on print without any pondering or thought or reflection. To me, giving January the numerical value of a 1 and April the value of a 4 was backward. It was like saying an apple was an orange and an orange was an apple. Or that day was night or night was day. I did remember from mathematics that equal meant the items had the same value. Numerology is based on the fact that each number has a different vibration. Pythagoras the Father of Mathematics & Numerology said that all life differed according to these vibrations. Now before you think I am totally crazy consider how science has discovered that white light split by a Prism makes a rainbow. These colors are different according to how much they differ in frequency, red light being at one end and Ultra Violet at the other. Frequency and Vibration are equal terms. Einstein’s theory of relativity differed from Newtonian Physics in that Einstein showed how light could act like a particle or a wave.

(Back to Numbers) In Numerology according to traditionalists, the most important number to figure out is your Life Path. This is made up of the Month, day and year of a person’s birth. According to Numerology a person born April 11, 1956 should have a life path of an 18/9. From the books and web sites I have read most Numerologist’s don’t agree with each other. Some say your life path is the lesson you are to learn in this life, others say it shows the level you have obtained through reincarnation. It is your report card or the grade the universe has given you. It represents your strengths. After much reflection and thought I believe it only shows us the direction we are to go in. It can be a strength or a weakness. But we are to travel that path or road. It may be that after a great deal of exposure and experience we will get better at it but still not be as good as someone who has strengths in that area. However for our purposes we will be better for it. Now I’m not suggesting that people have to choose a vocation based on this number. A vocation should always be chosen based on talents and abilities. When we are at work we have to compete and competition should be done according to our strengths. One thing I could not understand is how the Sun sign is ignored in Numerology. In Astrology this is the number one factor to consider, but in Numerology it is not even mentioned. In Numerology Life Path is the most important area to consider. I thought how could this be? These are both ways to understand the occult or the hidden so why are they so different from each other? Most Astrologers and Numerologists say, “That is the beauty of it.” The way I understand beauty is that it represents things that are harmonious and in balance not opposites. They give the same answers all the time. That is the one reason science has gained so much respect in our day and age. Simply because the formulas produce the same results. (A scientist in America gets the same answers as a scientist in China.) This is not the case in the new age studies. I hope this site helps this group of people become more one.

Now back to life path, I discovered a way to incorporate sun sign into Numerology. It is done in this manner. You simply substitute the following sun sign’s with their corresponding numbers. Aries is a 1, Taurus is an 8, Gemini is a 7, Cancer is a 2, Leo is a 3, Virgo is a 7, Libra is a 6, Scorpio is an 11, Sagittarius is a 5, Capricorn is a 4, Aquarius is a 9, and Pisces is a 5. I will explain how I got all this later but for now just use these numbers in the place of the month. If a person was born April 11 then he or she is an Aries, but a person born April 30th would be a Taurus. Consider Sun sign as an indication of a person’s hero or what makes him or her happy. It is what motivates and gives life to a person. To determine a person’s life path the Alden Beaman method, April 11 is considered Aries so April is given a numerical value of a 1. 11 is a master number so it is not reduced. The year 1956 adds up to 21/3 Adding all the numbers up 1+11+3=15/6. I would have a life path of a 6. Now a 6 is much more different than a 9. It is the essential difference between a Libra and an Aquarius. Now since both are air signs there are some similarities but any Astrologer worth his or her salt knows that Libra is different from Aquarius.One of the reasons I wanted to write this site was because I knew that Numerology had a lot to offer people but only if it was used correctly. If a confused person is told to go in the wrong direction, what good are the directions? If a spiritual guide says you’re here to experience a 9 path when in fact you are to experience a 6 what good is the guide or the direction or council given? I felt bad about people being led by blind guide’s. Another reason it is important to get the correct path number is because it is used in determining a persons pinnacles and challenges in life. When I analyzed famous peoples life path’s using traditional numerology the pinnacles and challenge numbers projected by traditional Numerology did not match their bibliographies. However when I used my method the history matched the projection to the year or within a year. I analyzed many different famous people some being Thomas Edison, Benjamin Franklin, Albert Einstein, and Henry Ford and Bill Gates. All showed direct correlation. I will show this later in this site [not presented here -MMmeta]. For now I will stick with the numbers 1-11

Alden Beaman: Astrology and Numerology 3

The Number One:

This correlates to the Planet Mars. The sign of Aries, The Color of Red, The Ascendant, The Ram, and The letters A, J, &S. -- BODY-KINETIC

The Number 1 - The Number of New Beginnings and Leadership and Offense

Try to visualize the number 1. What do you see? An independent number all by itself. A number that points straight upward. (A tower of strength.) A monument such as the one in Washington DC.

The number 1 needs to be bold because it only has one chance. There is only one of its kind. The immature number 1 doesn’t think a whole lot about others. It thinks about survival. It is about the drive to preserve the self. The mature number 1 needs people. How can a person lead if there are no followers? An adjective given to describe the mature number 1 is leadership. In Astrology 1 is given the sign of Aries. Aries is the beginning of the cycle. It can be the newborn baby as well. As such it can be quite helpless. If a person grows and experiences all the signs they will end up back at Aries. Are they the same? No. Now they have all the sign’s experiences. They have been around the block so to speak. Once they have been around the block they can act as guides. These types of people are leaders. They show other people the way. This is a different type of Aries. Sometimes Aries people are a little of both. In some areas they are great leaders. In other areas they are inexperienced and act like a newborn child. Both types of people are Aries. The Greek Aries or Ares was somewhat of a klutz. The Roman Aries or Mars was much more organized. He was the God of War. Aries is in reality a little bit of each.

As a one you are a leader. You love to be self reliant and independent. You love to take risks and to roll the dice. You are an explorer and a pioneer. You are definitely enterprising. You like to persuade others to your point of view. Selling is right down your alley. You like action and action heroes. You are the type who travels the road off the beaten path. Like Frank Sinatra you relate to the song” I did it my way.” Initiative is one of your strong points and like a match you are good at getting things started. You are a catalyst that speeds up a reaction. Your personality is so strong that it either inspires or repels others. You have a pioneering spirit and are known to be on the cutting edge of anything new. You like the new and the unproven. You may be the owner of your own company. You are the type of person who needs to follow through. This will help you to obtain your goals in life. You can be a controller and you may be selfish.

The positive 1 - Initiating action, pioneering, leading, being independent, attaining goals.

The negative 1 - Selfish, immature, temperamental, argumentative, pushy, offensive.

The Planet Mars - A Fire Planet, The Sign of Aries and the Color of Red.

Mars is dignified in Aries and has its detriment in Libra. It is exalted in Capricorn and has its fall in Cancer. By dignified I mean it rules that particular sign. An analogy to be made is a Planet or a homeowner who lives in his own house and feels most comfortable in this house. A planet in detriment means that it is 180 degrees away and is in opposition to the whole idea. Dead against it. The person comes right out in defiance of it. Even though opposites are real, often times in the real world, a person will have a little of each opposite incorporated into his or her being or personality. The word exaltation would mean the Planet or person does not live at home but is visiting a neighbor’s house and he is most comfortable there. A planet in its fall is one where the Planet or person is visiting and feels most uncomfortable there. The house that holds the planet Mars is very important. Mars shows how a person acts. It shows where a person focuses their energy. In the first house a person would be a lot like an Aries. In the second house they would put a lot of energy into their possessions. In the third the person may have a sharp tongue. In the fourth the person may need to feel secure before they will take a chance.

In Greek Mythology Ares was the God of War. In Rome he was called Mars. Even the color of the planet bears witness of itself. It is a rusty red. I once heard the analogy of a bullet and that stuck with me because it describes the number 1 very well. A bullet doesn’t look back. It gets the job done. It leaves a mess for others to clean up. It is direct & goes straight for the mark. It is used in war. War causes bloodshed and red is the color of blood. It is bravery or the willingness to be bold. The color red can be seen from a long way off. It is supposed to get your attention. That is why it is used for such things as a stop sign or a red light. Red is the color of fire. It is often used as a sexual symbol, the lady in Red ect. (Ruby red lips.) In Astrology the Planet Mars rules over all these things. In ancient times the planet Mars got a bad rap. It was known as the second malefic planet. Only Saturn had a worse reputation. But no planet or number in and of itself is bad. All planets and numbers have a good and a bad side to them. War, killing and hate are some of the expressions of the bad side of the planet Mars and the number one. However drive, action & straightforward honesty are good attributes of the number one. The color red is the first color in the rainbow. It is the lowest frequency of visible light.

I as a person I believe in simplicity when it works. So I will attempt to paint a picture of the sign for Aries as simply as I can. When you think of the sign of Aries think offense and how you go about doing things the first time around. (Think Pioneer) An excellent book on the signs was written by Stephen Forest. “The Inward Sky”. Another good book to start with is Astrology For The Light Side Of The Brain by Kim Rogers-Gallagher

The Mazzaroth and the Signs.

The Mazzaroth is the Hebrew name for the Zodiac or the twelve signs. It is mentioned in the Old Testament in Job 38:31-33. Job is wishing he was dead and Jehovah basically tells him he is not as smart as God. Even the start of the chapter is informative. God in speaking directly to the prophet Job says, "Can you bind the cluster of the Pleiades, or loose the belt of Orion? Can you bring out Mazzaroth in its season? Do you know the ordinances of the heavens? Can you set their dominion over the earth?" In other words Jehovah is asking Job. Can you tell me the meaning of the stars?

Do you understand Astrology? I believe the main reason the zodiac was created was to show Gods glory in the Heavens. Each sign shows a piece of the mission of God. It includes his premortal life as Jehovah and his earthly reign as Christ.to his immortality as a resurrected person with an immortal perfect celestial body. I believe these truths were once taught by the ancient patriarchs such as Adam, Enoch, Noah, and Abraham etc. Later the truth was lost and only pieces of the original truth were left. This started in Babylon and continued with the Egyptians down to the Greeks and the Romans. Each society created its own myths to the meaning of the Zodiac. God in his perfectness resembles all twelve signs. All human beings incorporate parts of the Zodiac into their own personalities as well. In each section I will explain the original meaning of each sign. Modern Astrology calls these meanings archetypes.

The sign of Aries.

When Moses was told to lead the children of Israel out of bondage in Egypt he was told to do this around the time of the Spring Equinox. The Jews call this the Passover as this was when the angel of death passed over any house that had lambs blood on it’s door. Again notice the symbolism. Lambs blood. (The Lamb showing the Christ slain from the foundation of the world.) Rams are grown up lambs. When God was on the earth as Christ he was in a sense a lamb. He had not been resurrected yet with a perfect body. In Gods own eyes he was a lamb. The zodiac sign is of a Ram not a lamb. How does that fit?

(Mormon Doctrine (-MMmeta)) To understand this you need to know about the doctrine of Pre-earth life. This is a doctrine, which has been lost and needs to be re understood. It was corrupted into the doctrine of reincarnation. I believe that originally all the ancient patriarchs taught this doctrine. Including Noah to his three sons Shem Ham and Japheth. Over time it was lost but pieces remained. The doctrine teaches that all people lived prior to this life as spirit children of kind parents. We all had a father and a mother. They were perfect. This is where the Greeks got Zeus and Hera. Most of the original heathen Gods had wives. Even our modern Christianity is flawed. It teaches about only one God. The truth of the mater is that we have a father and a mother in the Heavens. The Hebrew word for God is Elohim. Any time im is used it shows a plural. It should be translated, the Gods. (Meaning husband and wife or Father and Son). We lived in heaven as spirit children of these loving parents. Our whole purpose for this life was to be like them. We are to become gods and goddesses. However mankind cannot do this on it’s own. It needs the help of a God. In other words we cannot do this our way we need to do it by following our Fathers rules. A spirit child of our Father who was also the first-born spirits in Heaven always obeyed his father. That spirit child evolved into a God in the pre-earth life. His name was Jehovah or Jesus Christ. (The Ram, which represents the leader, the pioneer.) Jehovah agreed in this pre-earth life to be our Savior. John on the isle of Patmos saw this in a vision and recorded it in the book of Revelation in chapter 5. And I saw in the right hand of him who was seated on the throne a scroll written within and on the back, sealed with seven seals; [2] and I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, "Who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals?" [3] And no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or to look into it, [4] and I wept much that no one was found worthy to open the scroll or to look into it. [5] Then one of the elders said to me, "Weep not; lo, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has conquered, so that he can open the scroll and its seven seals." Who was the man seated on the throne? Answer: God the Father. Who took the book from his right hand? Answer: Jehovah or Jesus. Jehovah was Jesus in the pre-earth life. When speaking to his prophet Job, Jehovah explains this concept of a premortal life. You can read about it in Chapter 38 of the book of Job in the Old Testament. Jehovah teaches Job that not only was he to be the Savior slain from before the foundation of this world but that all the people of the earth once lived with God in Heaven. Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind: [2] "Who is this that darkens counsel by words without knowledge? [3] Gird up your loins like a man, I will question you, and you shall declare to me. [4] "Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth? Tell me, if you have understanding. [5] Who determined its measurements -- surely you know! Or who stretched the line upon it? [6] On what were its bases sunk, or who laid its cornerstone, [7] when the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy? What were the sons of God happy about? Answer, that the earth was finally made and they could receive mortal bodies and live on it. Who made it? Answer it was Jehovah. Later from the book of John we learn that Jehovah was also known as the word, because the word made the world. In the New Testament we read in John chapter 1 in the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. [2] He was in the beginning with God; [3] all things were made through him, and without him was not anything made that was made. [4] In him was life, and the life was the light of men. [5] The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. [6] There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. [7] He came for testimony, to bear witness to the light, that all might believe through him. [8] He was not the light, but came to bear witness to the light. [9] The true light that enlightens every man was coming into the world. [10] He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world knew him not. [11] He came to his own home, and his own people received him not. I know this all sounds different from what you have been taught but mediate on it and pray about it. Remember in order to gain wisdom you must keep an open mind. I know this doctrine is deep and it may not be easy to swallow but hang in there. It should be understood that God does not require you to understand all the mysteries in order to have Eternal Life. All that is needed is an obedient attitude and faith. I wrote this info up to add more meaning and depth but it is not necessary in order to receive Salvation.

The Ascendant - The first house

If you have studied Astrology you have read that the Ascendant is the way a person comes across to others when making a fist impression. A lot of books call it your front or mask. I believe it shows our potentials or our half-baked abilities. It effects our early childhood. It starts to apply after a child turns eight years old. Prior to that their moon sign rules a small child more. I believe that people develop in the following manor. From birth to seven years old a person is influenced most by his or her moon sign. Then from age eight to fourteen a person is learning to develop their rising sign. From age 15 to 21 a persons birthday number takes over. (The actual day they were born) Then from age 21 to 28 a person develops their sun sign. All of these energies combined determines their personality or Myers Briggs number. Back to the Ascendant or rising sign. If a parent knows the Ascendant or Rising sign of their child they can help give that child a fast start in life. They do this by surrounding that child with experiences that have to do with their rising sign. I have a child who has Leo for his rising sign. I put him in sports and he had an immediate likening of it. I have another child who had Pisces rising. We introduced him to Piano and music and he was a natural with it. Another son has Sagittarius rising and he likes science, travel and sports. My youngest three year old has Scorpio rising and Pluto conjunct the ascendant. What ever he does, he does with intensity. When he talks it is loud. He likes Karate, I hope it is passing but it probably is not.

The Ascendant shows the type of immediate environment that a person likes and feels comfortable with. Without this type of environment the person will get angry and upset. The Ascendant is a strong indicator of potential talents. I emphasize potential, because if you are not exposed to activities that describe your rising sign you will not develop, as you should. I have my sun in the 6th house opposite my ascendant in Libra.

As I mentioned in the introduction I believe that the house that holds a persons sun sign is more accurate in describing their personality. The 6th house belongs to Virgo so I am more quiet and analytical like a Virgo. I also have the Planet Neptune conjunct my Ascendant, so I am also a bit of an idealist. I am involved in counseling, and I like it a lot. My specialty today is career counseling. A lot of the tools I use are my own version of Numerology & Astrology as well as Myer Briggs & Holland Codes. I also like subjects such as religion. The mystical Merlin was always a favorite of mine in the story of King Arthur and the round table. The first house is a personal house. It is one of the six houses bellow the horizon. If Saturn is in this house the proper projection of the self can be delayed or the person may act old for his or her age. That is because he or she has potential to be in charge. The first house has a lot to do with people. This is the self or how others respond to the projection of that self.. It is important that a person develop the talents of their rising sign and any planets in that house, otherwise the person will act this way or make a first impression like their rising sign or planets but it will only be a mask. There will be no substance behind the first impression. With a developed rinsing sign the person makes a fist impression but it has substance behind it.

The Ram

“Mares eat oats and does eat oats but little lambs eat ivy.” Mares are female horses, does are female goats and little lambs are baby rams if male. Lambs or sheep will eat grass or ivy. They can be counted on to clear the ground of unwanted growth. They go right to it and get the job done. Goats will nibble at their food. Keeping the grass low is not a job for goats. Sheep do a better job of it. The same thing can be said of the one personality. If you need a path cleared ask a one person. They are the pioneers in life. They are the efficiency experts. Eight people are the ones you need to have around if persistence is a needed trait. (Back to sheep.) Why the Ram? That was a question I asked myself when I first studied Astrology. The six signs that like to be in charge and in leadership positions are Aries, Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Capricorn and Aquarius. The corresponding numbers are Aries =1 Taurus =8 Leo =3 Scorpio =11/2 Capricorn =4 and Aquarius =9. I have found that the numbers one, two and four are similar to cardinal signs in Astrology. Mutable numbers are 5, 6 &7 and fixed numbers are 3, 8, 9 and 11. Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn are cardinal signs. All these signs match the cardinal numbers. Leo, Taurus, Scorpio and Aquarius are fixed signs. The signs Aries and Capricorn are obvious. But Leo, Taurus, Scorpio and Aquarius need some more digging into in order to understand why they like to be in charge as well. The Sun is exalted in Aries and the Sun is the natural ruler of the sign Leo. The co-ruler of Scorpio is Mars. The planet Mars is dignified in Aries. You will also notice that some Cancer & Libra people like to be in charge as well. They can go either way. Usually they prefer a supportive role as Cancer is similar to the number two and two’s like the supportive role. In analyzing the sign of Libra I have found that the planet Venus is the natural ruler of it. These people don’t necessarily like the limelight either, as Venus is exalted in Pisces and Pisces likes to hide. The moon is exalted in Taurus. Taurus is similar to the number 8. Eight stands for new money. The moon is the natural ruler of the sign cancer and Jupiter is exalted in cancer. The co-ruler of Aquarius is Saturn. Saturn is the natural ruler of Capricorn. Capricorn is similar to the number 4.

To sum it up both cardinal and fixed signs like to be in charge. Mutable signs can go either way but prefer the background unless they have a strong cardinal or fixed number for a birthday or rising sign. Of the six signs that like to be in charge only Aries and Capricorn tend to dominate this group. They are the leaders of the leaders. Both of these signs have climbing animals as their symbol. (The ram for Aries and the goat for Capricorn.) The number 1 verses the number 4. The ram verses the goat. A ram is a grown up sheep. Sheep in the Middle East will only follow their master’s voice. Sheep give wool and meat, and goats give milk. Wool and meat are used in the wintertime to stay warm and to survive. Milk is used more to nurture and is used for the young. Even though Capricorns can be somewhat stand off-ish they are more nurturing to others than Aries.

More goats’ milk is drunk in the world than cow’s milk. If you live in the USA the opposite is true. Both goats & rams have horns. Rams have horns, which they use to butt other rams with. Rams are competitive. They are often fearless and will fight other rams for a mate. They are provided with hard heads. An effective military offensive tool was the battering ram. A tree was used to bash down the closed doors of the enemies castle. Aries people attack obstacles in this manner. They don’t always think their problems out. They run over or knock down their enemies or obstacles rather than go around them. A goat will go around obstacles placed in its way. It is more strategic. Sheep eat plants down to the ground. Goats nibble at their food. If you ever felt like you were run over by a person they probably have a strong Aries or number 1 character. An Aries or 1 personality will inspire you and give you a warm greeting, but is impatient with babies. A Capricorn or 4 personality will tend to be more practical and provide you with nurturing instruction. (They are often more serious and act more mature.) The goat nibbles its food. Four people love the materialistic world. They like to sample it all. A one person likes to get the show on the road. If it’s time to eat they eat.

Saturn the planet of time is the natural ruler of Capricorn. Capricorn is the beginning of the winter season, which is harsh and often cold. Under such harsh conditions a person must prepare if he or she is to survive. Aries is the sign for the beginning of spring. Less preparation is needed. One people just “do it”. Planning is not as needed. In a parable Christ talks about the judgment and uses Sheep and Goats to teach some lessons. Mat 25:32.25 "before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate them one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats," Version: RSV Christ uses symbolism to teach many doctrines. Goats represent leaders of the material world. It represents those people who put earthly wealth and money and possessions in front of God. Sheep represent those who follow Christ. These are also leaders but these are leaders who put God first. Mat 6:31-33 "therefore do not be anxious, saying, `What shall we eat?' or `What shall we drink?' or `What shall we wear?' For the Gentiles seek all these things; and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things shall be yours as well." Speaking of Rams it is interesting to note that Christ was actually born in April (FOT (-MMmeta)). Year unknown. (Probably 7, 5 or 3BC.) The account in Matthew has the sheapards keeping watch over their sheep by night. If it had been December 25, the sheep would not have been in the fields during the winter. They would have been in the barns. The spring fits the story of the shepherds better. Even the colors of Christmas are represented in the birth of Christ and Christmas. April is the color of red and green is the color of the number 6. I believe Christ was born April 6th. The colors of Christmas are red and green. Also remember that Jehovah of the Old Testament was the same as Christ of the New Testament. When Moses asked Jehovah what his name was he said ”I am that I am, tell them I am has sent you”. “I am” is the very descriptive words used to describe the sign of Aries. Christ was the oldest son or first born of all of Heavenly Father’s or Elohim’s children. He in essence is our true eldest brother. He is himself a God. He progressed to this point in the pre-earth life. The humility of God is that he agreed to be our Savior in the pre-earth life and take on a mortal body. He brought about the resurrection so that we could all go back and live with our Father Elohim again. He gave us rules (Saturn) and if we are mature we will keep them. The sun reaches the highest point at 12:00 noon. It crosses over the 10th house at this time. The Sun is a symbol of the hero self. It is symbolic of the kingdom of Heaven. Each day this symbolism occurs to remind us that we will reach our high point and be exalted if we keep Gods rules. The Sabbath was originally kept on a Saturday. The word Saturday is a form of the word for Saturn’s Day. Saturn is the planet, which symbolizes our teacher and our father. It is also the planet of rules.

The Letters A, J & S

In Pythagorean Numerology the letters A, J & S are given the value of the number 1 or Aries. I have found that words that add up to a one are a lot like the sign of Aries. Unfortunately this does not always work with people’s names (INDIVIDUAL SONA/PERSONA EXPRESSION AND SUMMATION). I have found nicknames sometimes work. It works this way A is a 1 B is a 2 C is a 3 D is a 4 E is a 5 F is a 6 G is a 7 H is an 8 and I is a 9. Then it repeats with J as a 1 K as a 2 etc.

It’s not an exact science but it lets you howne in on important facts about a subject or word. More of these numbers and signs will be explained in more detail under their specific number.

Alden Beaman: Astrology and Numerology 4

The Number Two:

This correlates to the Luminary or Planet Moon, the sign of Cancer, The color of silver, the fourth house, the Crab and The letters B, K, &T. -- INTRA-PERSONAL

The Number 2 - The Number of Nurturing and Motherhood and defense.

Look at the number 2. It appears to be pushed down. The number 2 is humble. It is not as arrogant as the one. It has learned to support others and it has strengths in nurturing and helping people bounce back. Because it has been humbled it knows how to help others. It has great empathy for other people’s feelings. As a two you are domestic, nurturing, and emotional. You have great insight into people and personalities.

You prefer to work with others in a supportive role rather than being alone. Your sensitivity can make you vulnerable to your emotions. You have a natural ability to protect those that you love. You have a natural gift with gardens, flowers and animals. You feel secure getting back to nature, and you love your personal home life. You are the ideal father or mother and you understand how to nurture all that you come in contact with. You must guard against having to have your way and ruling your home too strictly. You make an excellent teacher of children. You sometimes don’t always get the credit for the work you do. It is important that you do not become a doormat and let people who relate to stronger numbers run all over you. You enjoy being a support and helping others. You may have musical or artistic talents but they may be left undeveloped due to your desire to nurture the world. You often find yourself tending to the wants of others especially family and not tend to your own needs and wants. Remember that you too are a person and deserve some free time and growth time as well.

The positive 2 - humble, protection, nurturing, community, sympathy. adaptability, domestic, supportive, defense

The negative 2 - clingy, over emotional, unstable, hurtful, evil, fluctuating

The Moon - A Water Planet and the Sign of Cancer

One thing that is always constant is that the moon is always changing. The moon changes its sign every two and a half days. Our emotions change just about as often. One day we can be optimistic and the next we are moody and depressed. This is especially true whenever we loose our sense of security.

The Moon is dignified in the sign of Cancer & the number 2. It is in detriment in Capricorn. It is exalted in Taurus and it is in its fall in Scorpio. It is a very domestic number. Traditional numerology gets this number confused and mixed in with the number 6. If you remember the difference between the moon & the planet Venus some of the confusion should go away. (...) In the introduction of my site I mentioned that Sun sign is often over-emphasized in traditional Astrology. Now I am not going to say it is not important. I believe it shows a great deal about the inner person and how a person goes about expressing his or her self. But just as Numerology could be greatly improved if it’s students considered Sun sign, Astrology could be improved if it’s students knew something about a person’s birthday. A person’s birthday often shows a person's talents. The moon rules such things as emotions, infancy, instant responses, security and habits. One way to differentiate the moon sign from the Ascendant is to remember that Ascendant is more like Mars and the number 1 and deals with offense and new beginnings. The moon is more like the number 2 and deals with defense and old habits. They are not like each other. A lot of times you will find people who act more like their moon sign than their sun or rising sign. I think this happens when people are not fully developed. They are acting more out of a need for security and safety than a need for joy. Remember the sun sign shows us how we obtain joy in life.

In Astrology the first house is square or 90 degrees form the fourth house. Mars rules the first house and the moon the fourth. Cancer is a water sign, which translates into feelings and emotions. Both Aries and Cancer are cardinal and start things. The moon is also related to our needs and the way we express them .The moon has a lot to do with what drives us subconsciously. Hyrum Smith the inventor of the Franklin Day Planner and the author of the book (The 10 Natural Laws of Successful Time and Life Management) describes the 4 basic human needs as the need to live, the need to love and be loved, the need to feel important, and the need to experience variety. These needs according to his model are at the core of what motivates or drives people to behave in certain ways. I have learned that in addition to these four basic needs of all people, each individual’s basic needs can be analyzed, by substituting the moon sign. Noel Tyle in his many books show the needs of a given person at the center being driven by the “fuel ‘of the Sun sign. Since the moon reflects our habits. Many times we do not get beyond our comfort level. When doing compatibility Astrology, it is often a persons moon sign that is more indicative of a marriage relationship working. This is even more important than the Sun sign. The sun shows how a person grows and what they do for joy. The moon indicates actual basic needs. It is the difference between sugar and basic nutrition or protein. Sugar is the fuel in basic carbohydrates, which are burned for energy, but protein is used to make muscle. Both are needed, however people can go without carbohydrates for a while but protein is essential. In fact when people are starving, the body burns the protein and or the muscles just to survive if all the fats are gone. In this way people can go without fulfilling their sun sign and not enjoy life as much, but they cannot go without their moon sign over long periods of time. However just like the body, people function best using both. The moon is dignified in Cancer, which is another way of saying that the moon is the natural ruler of Cancer. The moon is in its detriment or lowest point in Capricorn. On our own earth cancer is the beginning of summer. It is warm and pleasant. This is the optimum time for new life to be born. In January or Capricorn it is the start of winter. Many animals hibernate. This is the worst time for new life to be born if it wants to survive. That is what is called detriment. The moon is exalted in Taurus so this means that energy that is like Taurus or nature or the number 8 go well with things of the moon or the number 2. If a person has a lot of new money then he or she will feel secure and nurtured. People with low self esteem, opposite of Taurus or the number 8, tend to be more jealous, envious, emotional, and have hatred. Essentially all the bad side of Scorpio or the number 11. This is called a planet in its fall. The moon is in its fall in Scorpio. Scorpio or the number 11 has a co-ruler of Mars. Mars or aggression and anger do not help a person feel secure or nurtured. Domestic people like to plant gardens and to cook, all areas ruled by the moon or the number two.

The Mazzaroth and the Crab - A crab is a creature that outgrows its shell each year, due to it’s own growth. When it grows it has to discard the old shell & look for a new one. In the same way we need to discard our old beliefs and the things that give us our security, as we grow older and mature. The crab stays consistent in looking for a shell each time. We do not need to change everything we believe we only need to add to the knowledge we already have and look for a model that will encompass all of our new knowledge. Then we need to ask God if it is right and when we learn from him it is or when we find the truth we feel secure and safe. In the Greek version the crab is replaced with the constellation Argo the ship. The story is about Jason and the Argonauts. Here Jason must go on a journey and secure the Golden Fleece. A dragon guards the fleece. Jason gets the fleece and returns home with it on the ship Argo. I believe the story has similarities to our pre earth life. Jason and his crewmembers leave home. We leave our Heavenly home. We all go on a journey to earth. Then we have to find the Golden Fleece. The fleece was a ram’s fleece. We have learned the ram represents the atonement or sacrifice of Christ. We each need to take upon ourself the atonement of Christ. In doing so we need to overcome the dragon or Satan if we are to obtain the fleece. Once we have it the dragon is re-awakened. Satan will always work on us. We have to constantly be on our guard. In getting back on the ship and going home we return back to our heavenly home. If we don’t return back we will regret it. In the story of Jason and the Argonauts, Jason is an Aries type personality. We all go on a journey to earth. It is often scary. None of us has ever been on earth before.

It is all-new to us. However just like Jason who has a lot of skills, each of us has learned skills in our pre-earth life. These skills we take with us. In the story Jason does not go alone but he goes as the captain of the ship and has shipmates. We are all each others ship mates. Each of us has different skills and abilities. The captain of the ship (Jason) represents Christ and he leads the way. Christ had to obtain the fleece as well. He had to lead a perfect life and follow his father’s rules.

The Color of Silver

Look up at the moon at night. What do you see? Something white with silver mixed in. The craters give the moon a silverish color. Silver represents a precious metal. In the olden days it was used for currency as silver coins. These were used on a day-to-day basis. The other metal used for currency was gold. Gold was used less often as it was worth more. Silver was chosen as the currency of choice for most daily transactions. Think of the metal mercury, which is used in our thermometers. It has a silver color. It is used to measure the fluctuation in temperature. The moon in a persons chart shows where a person experiences fluctuations in their life. The moon sign shows the persons emotional response to any given situation.

The fourth house and the Crab

The sign on the cusp of the fourth house rules the type of home life or early childhood experiences that a person has lived through. It shows what characteristics make a person feel most comfortable and secure at home. Any planets in this house will have reference to security and home life. This little bit of information would help all parents in nurturing their children better. This sign is even an indication of the type of home that the person may have in their adult life. It represents early and any home life situation. If for instance a person has Aquarius on the cusp of the fourth house he or she would like new computers and high tech gadgetry in the home. He or she may also like the old as well as the new. As the number 9 is similar to the sign of Aquarius and has to do with endings. I believe it is an ending that starts a new beginning. As we grow the fourth house shows the concept of personal power. The pattern, which shows how a person deals with all new beginnings, is found in the rising sign and any planets in the first house. Also the planet that is the ruler of the first house and the aspects it makes to any other planets. To be successful in life a person needs to be able to do three things. First they must learn people skills, second they need to learn about things and third they need to understand information. The first three houses in a persons chart show how we individually do this. The first house shows how we deal with people. (Aries) The second shows our relationship to things and assets. (Taurus) The third indicates information (Gemini). After combining these abilities a person develops a sense of self or personal power. The sign on the cusp of the fourth house shows how a person see’s himself or herself. The Ascendant shows how others see the individual. Opposite the Ascendant is the Descendant. It indicates how we see others or our relationships with others.. The tenth house indicates our social power, hence the career. It is how others see us in a position of power, if we receive it. Remember all the houses bellow the horizon. 1-6 represents areas of us as individuals. They have to do with the self or ego. Houses 7-12 all have to do with others. Libra is the start of this group. These houses are all above the horizon.

The crab is a sea creature, which protects its self with its shell. Outside is a hard shell but inside is soft flesh. People with a lot of cancer or the number two in their personality tend to be this way also. The following description is of the actual hermit crab reptile. The crab is a creature that is born in the ocean near the shore. It moves near the shore where it finds protection by finding a discarded shell. It then lives in this shell. Crabs like a shell with a tight fit. They hold onto it with their tails. They will fight to keep it and are known to even be torn apart in the attempt of holding on. Crabs by nature like other crabs. They are very social creatures. They like to climb and jump and will bury themselves in the sand if they feel scared. They can regenerate broken or lost claws, limbs and even eyes. Like snakes they shed their skins. Crabs like pleasant temperatures between 75-85 degrees not hotter or colder. They are nocturnal animals and prefer the nighttime to the day. They need to stay moist and keep a supply of water inside their shells. They do this so that they can breathe. Crabs shed their shells as they grow and need to find new homes. During this time they are vulnerable until they find a new shell. Crabs do not like confrontation but will fight for shells in order to live. Crabs will pinch if they are scared. It is unwise to try to shake them off, as they will only hold on tighter. If a crab pinches it can be eased off if pacified. Running warm water over the claws does this. Crabs are scavengers and will eat anything. They even eat sand and their own skins in order to recycle minerals and calcium. If hurt, crabs will bury themselves in sand become less active and begin the healing or regenerative process.

The letters B, K and T.

The letters B, K or T will have a lot of number two characteristics. These characteristics are similar to the actual crab creature as well as the cancer sun sign or the number 2. The letter K acts like the number eleven in addition to the number 2. This is similar to the sun sign Scorpio. The letter T is similar to the B. If you skipped ahead please read the description of A, J & S in the number 1 to understand how to use the letters in the alphabet.

Alden Beaman: Astrology and Numerology 5

The Number Three:

This correlates to the Luminary or Planet Sun, the sign of Leo, the color of purple or indigo, the fifth house, the Lion and The letters C, L & U -- SOL-Existential

The Number 3. The Witness, Expression and Communication number.

In the scriptures Peter denied the Christ three times. Later after his resurrection Christ asked Peter if he loved him three times. Peter was grieved when the Lord asked him this three times in a row. The reason he needed to do this was because he denied him three times. Whenever anything is mentioned three times it is a witness to us that these things are of the utmost importance. The reason that these things are important is because some form of the truth is being taught to us at this time. Truth is knowledge of things of the present, the past and of the future. Here we see time broken down into its three parts. Truth is light. The greatest symbol of light in our solar system is the sun. There is a saying that all good and bad things come in three’s or that the third time is a charm.

As a three you are expressive and outgoing. You love being the center of attention and you have a gift of creativity. You like the arts and you may want to be a singer or actor or actress or a painter. You want to share your talents with the world. You are proud of your abilities but you have a generous nature. People feel warm just being around you. Learn to be organized and this will help you. Learn to focus and you will be very successful. Smile a lot, as this will often brighten someone’s day. You are a natural romantic and love all that it entails. Because you are so friendly others flock around you. You don’t mind this, as you love an audience. Guard against gambling and all games of chance. You enjoy having fun and when you were a child the playroom was probably your favorite room in the house.

The positive 3 - Expression, The King, verbalization, communication, socialization, the arts, creativity, art, joy, fun, children, romance, the heart, circulation, and the witness.

The negative 3 - Self centered egotistical, proud, predatory, and arrogant.

The Sun - A Fire Planet and the sign of Leo.

Our Sun sign shows us where we get our joy. It needs to be expressed. The actual Sun in the heavens is the source , which is most responsible for our being alive. Without it earth would be a cold ball of ice. It is the largest object in the solar system comprising 99.8 percent of its total mass. The Planet Jupiter takes up the largest portion of the rest. The Greeks called the sun Helios and the Romans called it Sol. From that we get the word solar power. The sun converts Hydrogen to Helium in its core, through the process of nuclear fusion. The sun has a very strong magnetic field. It is estimated that there are 100 billion stars or suns in our galaxy. There is only one in our solar system, which is comprised of the other planets, or satellites, which orbit it. The Sun in Astrology is dignified in the sign of Leo. Its detriment is in the sign of Aquarius. It is exalted in Aries and its fall is in Libra. The sun changes sign about every 30 days or so. That is where the expression sun sign comes from. In traditional Astrology the sun represents a person’s ego or self. I have always found most of these definitions hard to understand. The sun was the ego; the moon was the immediate response, emotions or the personality. And the Ascendant was the mask and first impression. It all sounded like the same thing. And in a way it is, as all three define a person’s character. I hope to clear this up some. Fun, children, the heart, romance, characterize the sign of Leo; etc. the sun is exalted in the sign of Leo.

Any planet in Leo shows a connection to the person’s ego. Most Sun in Leo people are like their sign, but not all. You have probably meet many people who are not like their sun signs. I have found that people are more like the sign that rules a house where the sun is located. If the sun is in the 5th house they are probably a lot like a Leo. They will probably be creative. If the sun is in the 6th they are more like Virgo. The sun in the 7th is like Libra. 8th like Scorpio, 9th like Sag, 10th like Capricorn 11th like Aquarius and 12th like Pisces. I believe that sun sign Astrology does the greatest disservice to the study of Astrology. It is where a lot of the credibility is lost. Sun sign teaches that you are like your sun sign. You have those characteristics. Even traditional Astrology teaches this. I say this is not true. Sun sign shows us our hero and how we receive joy. It is what motivates us. We cannot shirk it and still feel happy. If we do we are cheating ourselves. Sometimes we may be more like our birthday number, or rising sign or our moon sign. I have found that the day a person is born is developed before the Sun sign. I believe that the moon sign shows us how we like to be nurtured. It is an indication of what makes us feel secure. It is the first sign that we develop. Next comes our rising sign then our birthday number and last our Sun sign. A person who does not have any affinity to their sun sign often feels dead. In order to feel alive and enjoy life you have to live your sun sign in some manor. Now I’m not suggesting that all Aries go out and climb a mountain or go skydiving, but some character in Aries needs to be expressed. Perhaps it’s working in a pioneering field or writing a web site in a whole new way. Or being a leader of people. Think of the sun sign as that side of you that needs to be expressed or acted out in order for you to be happy. It is the witness of who your hero is and who you want to be like the most. At minimum you will have pieces of your sun sign character and you will become more like it as you mature. If you do not you will be one unhappy person. Most of the time we have talents or abilities in the things that make us happy. If we don’t we should. As our happiness and joy depends on it. Since Leo is a fire sign it will act a lot like fire. Most astrology books explain the sun sign of Leo and most Numerology books have a correct definition of the number three.

The Lion and the Mazzaroth.

John in the book of Revelation calls Christ the Lion of Judah. The Romans nailed a message over his cross. “King of the Jews.” Christ is our King and if we follow him we will be safe. The Lion has often been named the King of the Jungle. Ancient Kings in the near east such as ancient Assyria etc liked to hunt Lions. It was a sport for the Kings and those of noble birth. The sphinx from Egypt had a Lions body to represent the Pharaoh. The sphinx was made in connection with the pyramids and they were all made to ensure that the emperor or pharaoh received eternal life. The sign of Leo has reference to Satan being cast out of our pre-mortal heavenly home. It has a man standing in triumph over the serpent who is trying to get away. The man is Jehovah or Christ the serpent is Lucifer or the devil.

The Color Purple or Indigo.

Purple is made up of the colors red and blue. Since red is similar to the number one and blue is similar to the number eight , people who have a lot of the number three or sign of Leo have the abilities of the numbers one and eight. In the Old Testament the Jewish people used this color to signify royalty and to build their tabernacle, which was their traveling temple or house of God. "Moreover you shall make the tabernacle with ten curtains of fine twined linen and blue and purple and scarlet stuff; with cherubim skillfully worked shall you make them. Exodus Chapter 26:Verse 1 Later when Solomon built the temple as a permanent structure he used the same colors.

So now send me a man skilled to work in gold, silver, bronze, and iron, and in purple, crimson, and blue fabrics, trained also in engraving, to be with the skilled workers who are with me in Judah and Jerusalem, whom David my father provided. 2 Chron 2:7. Later when Jerusalem is destroyed the Prophet Jeremiah writes of the destruction of Jerusalem, even the rich and the noble ones. Those who feasted on dainties perish in the streets; those who were brought up in purple lie on ash heaps. Lamentations 4:5 It appears that clothing royalty in purple was not only a Jewish tradition but was something done throughout the entire middle east. The King of Babylon, Nebuchadnezzar is recorded to have said the following as a reward for anyone who could interpret his dream. The king cried aloud to bring in the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the astrologers. The king said to the wise men of Babylon, "Whoever reads this writing, and shows me its interpretation, shall be clothed with purple, and have a chain of gold about his neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom." Dan 5:7

Another group of people who were related to Abraham were the Midianites. Their Kings wore purple.

And the weight of the golden earrings that he requested was one thousand seven hundred shekels of gold; besides the crescents and the pendants and the purple garments worn by the kings of Midian, and besides the collars that were about the necks of their camels. Judges 8: 26

Christ used the color purple in his parables to denote royalty and riches. "There was a rich man, who was clothed in purple and fine linen and who feasted sumptuously every day. Luke 16:19

In fact when Christ was before the soldiers he was dressed in a purple robe.

15 ¶ And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.

16 And the soldiers led him away into the hall, called Praetorium; and they call together the whole band.

17 And they clothed him with purple, and platted a crown of thorns, and put it about his head,

18 And began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews! Mark Chapter 15 verses 15-18

In the rainbow a form of purple or violet is the last visible color. These colors have the smallest wavelengths and therefore move at the highest frequencies. It symbolizes that when we become perfect we will have obtained the highest level and will become kings and queen’s priests and priestesses of God. Those that become kings will rule over people who did not obtain this level. However instead of servants serving the Kings the Kings will serve the people they rule. Christ taught this concept when he washed his disciples feet. The greatest of all was the servant of all. Through useful service a person obtains their greatest joy. This concept is also taught through the color of the sun itself. It is a yellow orange color. Yellow is the color of the number 7 and corresponds to the planet Mercury. The 6th house or the house of servants or everyday work is similar to the sign of Virgo. The sign of Virgo shows service. When we love (The Sun rules the heart), others we serve them. Or those that we serve we learn to love.

The Fifth House and the Lion - King of the Beasts

After a person has developed their personal power (the 4th house) they need to express it. This is indicative of the fifth house and how we receive joy when we try and succeed in life. It shows how we relax and how we have fun in expressing our selves. This is the house of fun, romance children, creativity, artistic talents and recreation and sports. The Sun is the Natural ruler of this house. In our pre-earth home, each of us had desires to learn from God. He taught us those things that we were interested in learning. Since all of us have different interests we learned different skills and abilities. Christ learned all things and became a God. We were not that intelligent or obedient. Our Father knew that experience would be our best teacher. That is why he lets us learn by our mistakes. As children we learned the skills and talents that we desired. Numerology and Astrology are tools that remind us what those skills and talents were. Rather than believing that a person is imprinted with a pattern at the time of birth I believe that God had us born according to the times that best describe our talents and abilities. In this way Astrology and Numerology becomes a tool that helps us remember our natures not one that fates us. All through our lives we have the ability to change for the better or the worse. By learning the secrets of the past through Astrology and Numerology we can be more efficient and remember our skills today. One of the main reasons why none of us can remember our pre-earth life is because God took that knowledge away from us at birth to see if we would live by faith. In the pre-earth life we all knew God existed. We saw him, now we need to look for God through the signs that he has left us, such as through nature and the stars.

The Lion. Lions are social animals that hunt and live in prides. The females are the hunters and the male spends his time protecting the females and the cubs from other male Lions. Males hunt as well but they hunt the larger prey such as elephants and big game. Male Lions are the only cat species that grows a mane. This mane of hair is the result of the testosterone, which they produce. Castrated Lions loose their manes. Male Lions are loving to their own offspring but unlike the female who will nurse any young cub in the pride, male Lions are known to kill any cub less than a year old not sired by themselves. They do this for breeding purposes. Male Lions are the dominant Lion for about 2-5 years. They live about 15 years in the wild. Lions in the Zoo will live about 25-30 years. A Lion has exactly 30 teeth. I found this fascinating since the number of the Lion is 3.

The letters C, L & U

The letters C, L or U will have a lot of number three characteristics.

These characteristics are similar to the actual Lion animal as well as the Leo sun sign or the number 3.
