It seems that in our family most birthdays happen in the first 3 months of the year. With my own birthday just round the corner I had a lot fun exploring this birthday calculator. In the Native American Zodiac I am an Otter my plant is a Fern my birth tree is a Cypress I am an Aquarius I was born in the Chinese year of the Dragon. That took me some time to get straight, as my birthday is in early February and the Chinese year is a lunar year that can start before or after my birthday. January 26/2009 starts the Chinese year of the Ox My Numerology Life Path Number or Birth Number is 5 I don't believe that information gathered by astrology or numerology is written in stone, but it is rather a road map that helps us navigate. The better the road map the faster we can get where we want to go without getting lost.

I wish everyone a happy, joyous New Year! Curious what the New Year will have in store for us? For one, based on Numerology it is going to be a very special year that carries the number 11/2. 11 is a master number and so amplifies everything that the number 2 represents. On top of it the last time we had an 11 year was in 1910, that is almost 100 years ago and few of us were around that time. The Universal Life Tools website goes into more details about the meaning of the 11 year The meaning of the different years in numerology gives some interesting insights Each month also carries a vibration in numerology and can help you sail through each month more smoothly

Yesterday morning in my inbox was an email from a European ecard company with the idea of sending a greeting card for the First Name Day of the person. At first I was puzzled, but then looking at the email I realized that today's names are: Albert, Leopold, Ilona, Helena, Arthur . So my next step was to do some research and figure this out. According to the My Name Day website This is an old European tradition. Every day of the year is someone's Name Day. People all across Europe have been celebrating their first names for centuries in the same way you celebrate your birthday. Here are a couple of links to websites that offer a list of names and the dates they are associated with. http://www.mynameday.com/findyourname.html http://www.happynameday.com/query.htm The following links are in German, but a name is name and maybe it might even give some prospective parents some name ideas they had never considered. http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_der_Namenstage http://www.katho...

An email I received today about my Mayan Calendar Day Glyphs , refreshed my memory. Looking at them now, it seems all so long ago that I created them. Everything in life is cyclical or like waves and in 2000 and 2001 that seemed to have been the wave I was riding. I am still attracted to the Mayan calendar, but now it is just part of my general interests. I selected the Monkey Glyph because according to some Mayan Calendars I am a monkey and I strongly resonate with the meaning of it. I guess I like the Mayan Calendar for the same reason that I like Numerology , they both are cyclical and follow a natural progression. It seems to appeal to my way of thinking.

I can't remember for how long I have been interested in numerology, but it is over 30 years. I find astrology interesting, but I am more drawn to numerology. I am always amazed what 9 numbers can tell us about ourselves. Before the Internet, I used to put together printed readings for people giving them information about themselves based on numerology and just to round out the picture I added astrology and biorhythms . I still update my monthly numerology forecast on a regular basis. July 2008 has the universal number influence of 8 (2008+7=17=1+7=8). The number 8 always talks about achievements and rewards and when it occurs in a 1 year, we are asked to make a major decision regarding either money, a promotion, responsibility or authority. Judgment also comes to the forefront, either we are judging someone or we are the ones being judged. Yes, it is July, but that does not mean that we won't be working hard and long hours. Just to be forewarned that the head will rule our he...
