INTRODUCTION

HOW TO READ YOUR RELATIONSHIP COMPATIBILITY REPORT

When two people are involved in a relationship, they get to know each other more deeply over time. At first, everything is wonderful and friction is rare. Then, as time goes by, you get to know other sides of your partner and, undoubtedly, discover some personality traits you don’t like, and other traits you appreciate. The more time you spend together, the more you get to know each other. But even if you consider your relationship almost perfect, you will certainly experience at least some areas of possible friction.

The purpose of this report is to point out the different personality traits you possess, and how compatible they are. This report will help you identify those properties that are, at least to some extent, not compatible, and suggest how to prevent them from damaging, or dominating, your relationship.

It is important to also keep in mind that you may have some qualities that, although positive, are not compatible, but that negative traits are almost always a cause for friction. Therefore, you may find that this Relationship Compatibility Report is at times more critical and perhaps somewhat harsh - unlike most readings of this kind. If you feel uncomfortable with that, remember that this report was designed to throw light on those aspects in your charts that need to be understood and recognized, because if they are not, they can do a lot more damage than a few critical remarks in a reading.

You will probably encounter some texts such as: “The compatibility aspect in this area of the chart is already included in other parts of this report, offset by other conditions, or redundant”.

This is done in order to offer a perspective that is as well balanced and clear as possible, and repeating certain traits would place too much emphasis on them.

Master numbers are also handled somewhat different in a relationship compatibility report. They are reduced to their single digit values, because it is in the single digit’s archetype that those personality traits are represented. If a number that appears in your chart is 11, 22, or 33, and the compatibility refers to the numbers 2, 4, and 6 respectively, this is not a typo but an indicator that the compatibility is based on the single-digit sum of your Master number.

You will also find that some numbers normally included in a personal numerology reading are not included in a relationship compatibility report. This is because the compatibility between two people is influenced much more strongly -- as much as ninety-five percent -- by the core numbers, than by all the other numbers in the chart combined. In fact, the lesser numbers in the chart would only muddle the waters if analyzed in the context of a relationship compatibility report.

I hope you will enjoy your Compatibility Report and, more importantly, I hope you will find this reading to be beneficial to your relationship.

LIFE PATH

If ever there was a moment of total transformation, it was the moment of your birth. In that instant, you stepped through a door in time into a new reality -- the reality of human life. The most important number in your numerology chart is based on the date of your birth, the moment when the curtain goes up in your life.

Even at that moment, you were a person with your own unique character, as unique as your DNA. Everything that is you existed in potential, much like a play that is about to begin. Your entire life exists as a potential that has been prepared for. You have ultimate freedom to do with your life as you like: To fulfill its potential completely, or to make some smaller version of yourself. It all depends upon your effort and commitment. You make the decisions to fulfill, to whatever extent, the potential life that exists within you. That is your choice. In this sense, the possible you is implicit during the moment of your birth.

The Life Path number gives us a broad outline of the opportunities, challenges, and lessons we will encounter in this lifetime. Your Life path is the road you are traveling. It reveals the opportunities and challenges you will face in life. Your Life Path number is the single most important information available in your Personality Chart!

George W., your Life Path is 15/6

You possess great compassion and seek to be of service to others. You have concern for the weak and the downtrodden. You are a healer and a helper to others. You are capable of giving comfort to those in need and will frequently offer a shoulder for others to cry on.

Your task in life is to develop the tools necessary to be truly helpful to others, rather than to simply be a sympathetic ear. You must find the balance between help and interference. In the same way, you must learn the delicate art of the counselor who knows when to leave the struggle to others and when to avoid taking away the necessary experiences and lessons of life.

You are naturally balanced. Therefore, you are well equipped to support and ground others in times of trial.

It is in your nature to take on responsibility -- you often fill the void left by others -- and do not turn away from personal sacrifice. At times, you may feel overburdened by the travails of others. However, the love others bestow upon you is your well deserved reward.

You try to maintain harmony within the family or group, balancing and fusing divergent forces. You seek marriage and are often a wonderful parent, offering warmth, protection, and understanding to children.

You are generous, kind, and attractive. You are often admired even adored which baffles you. You are humble and yet you carry a deep pride. You move well and gracefully, but will have to work to stay in shape. Seek out physical exercise and limit the sweets and dairy you crave to keep yourself from becoming plump and round.

When young, you must be careful not to chose partners for the wrong reasons. Do not let sentimentality influence your decision, especially those involving the choice of a spouse. You need to be needed, but must learn to discriminate between those you can help and others who are made weaker by your care.

After all, it is in your nature to be attracted to the weaker brothers and sisters among us.

The temptation and the danger for you is to think of yourself as the savior of the world, carrying the burdens of others on your shoulders.

You are blessed with musical talent, as well as in the visual and performing arts. However, your creativity may well be suppressed due to your willingness to sacrifice, or your inability to fully appreciate your talents. This is not to say that you cannot excel in these areas; on the contrary, you have the talent, and with effort you can make a success in a number of artistic fields.

You also have enormous talent in business. You are blessed with a great deal of charm and charisma, which you use effectively to attract the people and support you need.

Laura, your Life Path is 17/8

You are gifted with natural leadership and the capacity to accumulate great wealth. You have great talent for management in all areas of life, especially in business and financial matters. You understand the material world; you intuitively know what makes virtually any enterprise work. Your talent lies not with the bookkeeping or petty management, but with the greater vision, it's purpose, and long range goals.

You are a visionary and a bit reckless. You possess the ability to inspire people to join you in your quest, but often they are incapable of seeing what you see. Therefore, those around you need your continual guidance, inspiration, and encouragement. You must prod them into action and direct them along the lines of your vision.

You attract financial success more than any other Life Path, but effort is required.

Your challenge in life is to achieve a high degree of detachment, to understand that power and influence must be used for the benefit of mankind. Those born with the Number 8 Life Path who do not understand the real and relative value of money are bound to suffer the consequences of greed; they run the risk of losing it all!

You must learn to bounce back from failures and defeats. You have the character and resilience of a true survivor. It is not uncommon for a person with your Life Path to experience major reverses, including bankruptcies, financial failure, but you also have the talent and the sheer guts to make more than one fortune, and build many successful enterprises. More than most people, your failures in marriage can be extremely expensive for you.

Despite the difficulties that life presents, you will experience the satisfaction that comes from material wealth and the power that comes with it.

Business, finance, real estate, law, science (particularly history, archeology, and physics), publishing, and the management of large institutions are among the vocational fields that suit you best. You are naturally attracted to positions of influence and leadership -- Politics, social work, and teaching are among the many other areas where your abilities can shine.

You are a good judge of character, which aids you well in attracting the right people to you.

Most 8s like large families and sometimes tend to keep others dependent longer than necessary. Although jovial in nature you are not demonstrative in showing your love and affection.

The desire for luxury and comfort is especially strong in you. Status is very important. You must be careful to avoid living above your means.

Your Life Path treads that dangerous ground where power lies -- and can corrupt. You may become too self important, arrogant, and domineering, thinking that your way is the only way. This leads inevitably to isolation and conflict. The people you run the risk of hurting most are those you love, your family and friends.

Be careful of becoming stubborn, intolerant, overbearing, and impatient. These characteristics may be born early in the life of an 8 Life Path, who often learn these negative traits after suffering under a tyrannical parent or a family burdened by repressive religious or intellectual dogmas.

Those with the 8 Life Path usually possess a strong physique, which is a symptom of their inherent strength and resiliency.

Your Life Path's compatibility is 6 and 8

George W. and Laura, your Life Path numbers are the most important numbers in your charts, and, as such, their compatibility is very important to the well-being of your relationship.

George W. and Laura, the six and the eight are very compatible. You are both practical and goal-oriented people who are not afraid of responsibility. However, there are big differences in the way the six and the eight view responsibility, and even bigger differences in the way they pursue their respective goals.

George W.’s sense of responsibility is strongly focused on family and friends. George W. will be hesitant to do anything that could endanger the comfort and lifestyle of those George W. is committed to. Laura’s sense of responsibility is committed to goals and dreams - their fulfillment is Laura’s priority. Where George W. will be very reluctant to take risks that might reflect on those George W. cares about, Laura will not hesitate to take certain carefully calculated risks because Laura feels that, if those goals are met, the lives of everyone around will improve. George W. is capable of working for a long time to reach a goal, but George W. is much more grounded, George W. will hesitate to step away from the beaten path. Laura has a sense of business and is a visionary with a practical, can-do mentality.

Interestingly, the six-and-eight combination is excellent for business partnerships. The six keeps a reign on the dreams and visions of the eight. In turn, the eight can inspire the six to aim higher and take advantage of the opportunities lying ahead. Without an eight to inspire a six, the six will likely remain confined to small dreams requiring little or no risks. Without the grounded realism of the six, an eight often gets lost between the vision and the goal. In a romantic relationship, George W. and Laura, the numbers found in this part of the chart similarly play off each other’s strengths in ways that can be very good for the relationship.

Problems can arise when one partner tries to dominate the other, which has been known to happen between a six and an eight. George W., your tendency to take on any burden, your willingness to sacrifice, and your need to feel secure in a relationship, can make you a victim to the somewhat authoritarian and demanding nature of Laura’s eight. Sometimes, the opposite happens, and the inherit talent of George W.’s six to make others feel guilty simply by showing how much George W. is willing to do for them can put a real damper on Laura’s potentially powerful and focused energy.

George W. and Laura, this aspect of your charts is somewhat similar to reaching a fork in the road. You have a choice between enriching and enhancing each other’s strengths and talents, or frustrating your partner’s opportunities. The key to maintain a balanced relationship is not to try to dominate each other.

EXPRESSION

Your Expression number reveals your physical and mental constitution, the orientation or goal of your life. Some numerologists refer to this number as the Destiny, because it represents a lifelong target at which you are aiming. You work at fulfilling this potential every day of your life. Thus, the Expression number reveals your inner goal, the person you aim to be.

The Expression number reveals the talents, abilities, and shortcomings that were with you when you entered your human body. Your name, and the numbers derived from it, reveal your development, as well as the talents and issues you will be working with during this life.

For those for whom reincarnation is an accepted philosophy, the vibration of your full name can be seen as the totality of your personal evolution, the experiences, talents, and wisdom accumulated over many life times. Every experience, no matter how great or small, along this evolutionary path has influenced your development, and brought you to your current state of being.

The Expression is your being; the Life Path is the major lesson you are attempting to learn this time around. Time allows the gradual emergence of your personality. By reading the Expression number below, you will come to understand your basic nature and the abilities and issues inherent in your being.

George W., your Expression is 15/6

You are a loving and caring individual with a tendency to put the needs of others before those of yourself. You are responsible and trustworthy with a high regard for justice and honesty. Duty will follow you all your life and sometimes feel a little too much of a burden.

You are artistic. Harmony and beauty are high on your list of priorities. You have musical talent but the creative talents of a 6 are sometimes left undeveloped or suppressed as a result of your tendency to sacrifice your time and pleasure to the service of others. You are highly creative in all areas of life, particularly the visual. You are also a talented business person and can work methodically toward the realization of your goals.

You have a natural gift with flowers, gardens, and animals. Your love of children has caused numerologists to dub you the "Cosmic Mother or Cosmic Father". The very shape of the 6 resembles and symbolizes "Pregnant with Love".

You are a natural counselor and healer. But you must be careful not to interfere with the freedom of others. You are recognized as an idealist, mainly regarding marriage, friendships and humanity.

The 6 is the most balanced of all numbers, but also contains within itself the greatest paradoxes. It is as if opposite tendencies were tenuously poised. Because of its gift for harmonizing these opposites, you are uniquely qualified to handle and integrate contradictions within yourself. It is for this reason that 6s so frequently find themselves in the role of healers or counselors, creating a peace between opposing points of view, or internal conflicts within the self.

While you can be very idealistic, there may also be a temptation to acquire beautiful objects by improper means. You must also guard against other meddlesome behavior and domestic tyranny, or always having to have your own way in a family dispute.

Conversely, you have it within yourself to understand another person's dilemma and come up with a creative solution. Your natural ability to give comfort and warmth can smooth over hurt feelings like a healing balm. You attract love and appreciation. And rightly so, because you give the same in return.

You make an outstanding teacher (especially young children or special education), healer, counselor social worker, psychologist, artist, designer, gardener, florist, and farmer. You can be successful in business, especially those that involve dealing with people.

Laura, your Expression is 19/1

You are a natural leader, independent and individualistic. You are extremely ambitious, original, and courageous. You employ new and unproven methods. You are an explorer and an innovator. Openness to too many peripheral influences limits and frustrates you. You are self-reliant, confident, and energetic.

You possess executive abilities and are most successful at owning or independently managing a business. You need the freedom to make your own decisions, based on your own ideas. You can be an astute politician. You also possess the ability to influence the opinions of your milieu.

The number 1 symbolizes the front-runner, pioneer, warrior, risk-taker, and daredevil. Generals, top politicians, successful businessmen, self-made millionaires, religious leaders, inventors, activists, and avant-garde artists are often born with a 1 Expression.

Strength and perseverance are central to your success. You must be willing to travel the frontiers of life, away from the beaten path. You possess a great reserve of willpower that must be directed at your goals. You do not give up, but relentlessly pursue your aims.

You are quite opinionated. People tend to be inspired or repelled by your strong personality.

You have great powers of concentration and the ability to visualize your goals, thus making them more attainable.

You stand up for your convictions and hold your ground. All of these abilities enhance your chances of success in life.

There is a tendency to be self-centered. You can be domineering and, in the extreme, a bully. You can be highly critical of others, complaining that people lack the industry or determination you possess. But this lack of understanding can alienate friends and family members from you. You must learn to control this tendency to maintain harmony in relationships.

Once you are convinced of the inherent correctness of your ideas, you stubbornly -- and sometimes rigidly -- defend and propagate them.

Avoid obstinacy and antagonism. You must cultivate balance, compassion, and perseverance.

You easily assume the role of protector. You spring into action when leadership is needed.

Pride can be your downfall. You so powerfully identify with your goals and ambitions that you sometimes refuse to see a potential flaw or weakness in your well-laid plans.

You possess strength and determination, which, when applied to any endeavor your are committed to, will lead you to great success in life.

Your Expression's compatibility is 6 and 1

More than any other number in your chart, your Expression number reflects who you are as a person. Earlier, you read about the Life Path number and how important that number is in your chart. However, the Life Path number reflects “the path you walk on,” and should be seen more as a powerful influence than as a part of your personality makeup. Your Expression number on the other hand, reflects a deeper part of you. It is more difficult to overcome possible negative traits you may have recognized in yourself when they are found in this part of the chart, than when they are found under the Life Path description.

It can’t be emphasized too much how important it is to realize that numbers in different areas of the chart affect you differently, even when it is the same number. Sometimes, you may read something that seems to directly contradict earlier statements. Yet, if you take the time to think about them carefully, you will probably recognize that you, as a human being, are extremely complex and full of the same contradictions. This is simply the way we are. You may be organized in one area of your life, while chaos rules in another area. You may be tactful and sensitive in one setting, and direct and confrontational in another situation.

Laura is fortunate. George W.'s six reflects a great capacity for love, understanding, sacrifice and support. The six is, by nature, perhaps the most harmonious of all numbers.

But Laura is not the only one who is fortunate in this relationship. George W. also has reasons for gratitude. Laura will protect and defend George W. through thick and thin. The power of the one should not be underestimated. And to have that power and concentrated energy on your side, George W., can be a real blessing. Laura can make you feel safe and secure, since there is nothing wishy-washy about Laura. This is a combination that can last for a long time, without ever going through the kind of turbulence so many other relationships experience. But, as always, there is another side to the coin.

This aspect of Laura's chart reveals an inner force and a driven energy that doesn't slow down for anything. Laura doesn't put up with weakness and is demanding of others. Like a true leader, Laura needs to see courage and strength represented in others. George W. reveals a different nature. At least in this aspect of the chart. George W. is compromising, forgiving and sometimes sacrificing to a fault. Laura has to be careful not to see this as a weakness, since George W.'s ability to defend the weaknesses of others is alien to a number one. Likewise, George W. may at times be disturbed to recognize a somewhat hard and unforgiving quality in Laura. George W. should not confuse that with a lack of compassion. Laura is certainly capable of offering compassion, especially towards victims of circumstances, where fault or laziness, or cowardice is not an issue. Only when Laura feels someone is not pulling his or her weight, can Laura respond quite harshly.

The important thing for both Laura and George W. is to understand that they are very different in the way they view human qualities. Their priorities differ. That's all. Therefore, if they are able to keep an eye open for their differences and value their respective good qualities, they will certainly enjoy a long life together.

HEART'S DESIRE

Your Heart's Desire is the inner you. It shows your underlying urge, your true motivation. It reveals the general intention behind many of your actions. Consequently, it dramatically influences the choices you make in life. The Heart's desire is seen as part of the larger picture, called the core numbers, which includes the Life Path, Expression, Day you were born, and Personality. But each points to a different aspect of you.

The Expression number reveals your talents and abilities, and your general direction in life. The Life Path is the central lesson you came into the world to learn. The Day you were born is very closely connected to your Life Path. It reveals specific talents you possess, which will be helpful to you in dealing with your Life Path. The Personality reveals how people tend to see you. It also demonstrates what characteristics you are projecting to the world. The Heart's Desire demonstrates the identity of the soul that joined the earth -- you, the spiritual being.

George W. and Laura, your Heart's Desire is 16/7

George W. and Laura, you both have the same number in this part of the chart. The following text therefore applies to both of you.

You love knowledge, study, and insight. You value the gifts of your mind, which you use to great advantage to penetrate the mysteries of life. You study things in-depth. You search beneath the surface of things. You abhor shallow judgments or opinions.

You have a natural gift for analysis and research. Once you have grasped the facts of a subject, your creativity and abstract approach lifts your thinking beyond the rudimentary to the philosophical. You have a theoretical mind, but rather than indulge in fantasies or idle thought, you prefer to base your theories upon scientific facts.

You enjoy mental and physical puzzles -- figuring them out, taking them apart, and putting them back together.

Some people may perceive you as cool or aloof. You are somewhat introverted; you may feel slightly removed and even a little different. The fantasy of the hermit or monk engaged in a life of study and meditation appeals to you.

In relationships, you tend to keep things business-like and impersonal. You prefer to talk about the facts of a given situation, rather than the cloudier issues of emotions and personal feelings. You distrust feelings -- both your own and those of others. The whole emotional realm strikes you as unreliable, and a bit unnecessary.

Your inability to fully understand the emotional aspect of life is your Achilles heel. You are so rational that the unpredictability of the heart frightens and surprises you.

Your challenge is to trust. You need to share your heart with someone. This is a courageous step for you, but will result in enormous growth and satisfaction.

The advice here is to make a true connection with another human being. Without it, you may marry out of convenience or to fulfill social expectations, but it will not lead you out of loneliness. The more removed you are from people, the more you risk isolation, bitterness, and a cynical attitude toward life.

This choice represents a true crossroads in your development. By sharing yourself with others (without compromising your independence and need for privacy) you can cultivate your enormous charm and share your understanding of life. You are a natural teacher and advisor. And the wealth of knowledge you will accumulate in life is meant to be shared with others.

This is not to say that you must compromise on your need for privacy or time spent alone to contemplate life. These are natural aspects of your personality, which are essential to your growth. These characteristics should not be threatening to your spouse, but must be understood as fundamental to your being.

You are blessed with a great reserve of intuition, which can be cultivated by regular meditation and contemplation. Your "inner voice" is your greatest guide and friend.

You are idealistic and have high expectations for yourself. Learn to balance your serious nature with regular doses of fun.

Your intelligence and cultivation make you charming and distinguished in appearance. As you get older and more comfortable with your identity, people are naturally attracted to you. They see your wisdom, your deep understanding of life, and the refinement you radiate.

Your Heart's Desire's compatibilty is 7

Compatibility of the Heart’s Desire numbers is very important in a relationship - few relationships last beyond the initial stage if the Heart’s Desire numbers are not compatible.

George W. and Laura, yours is a beautiful combination, with great potential for spiritual growth for both partners. You are people who take life and life’s mysteries serious. Your strong intellectual and spiritual bond makes you thrive on each other’s mental powers.

The relationship between two seven’s may start in the heart, but it quickly moves to the soul and the term “soul mates” often applies to people who have the seven in common in this part of the chart.

Poets at heart - even if you have never written a poem in your life - you understand intuitively that your bond with each other is spiritual in nature and more valuable to you than anything else in the world. You grow together, without the need to constantly be together. You communicate in half sentences and you often find yourself thinking or expressing the exact same thing your partner was just getting ready to say.

George W. and Laura, if your relationship is moving towards maturity, you are likely to be, as they say, connected at the hip. Having said all that, there are also some things you need to watch for not to spoil such a beautiful relationship. The seven excels at making mountains out of molehills. No other number can, at times, become as stubborn and unforgiving when it comes to small matters. In extreme cases, the seven can become small-minded. even neurotic. While rare, a tendency to let some minor discordance become a major disagreement does exist. What is interesting though is that, when that happens, it is almost always over something minor because, when it comes to major issues, the seven is too intelligent to narrow the mind to a small picture. For example, the same person who can lead a study and discussion group with great perspective and openness of mind to even the most outrageous ideas can also turn into a hair splitter when it comes to small household issues.

George W. and Laura, there is one issue you should be particularly aware of since it has been known to break apart this kind of otherwise excellent number combination. You both experience a strong, highly imaginative inner life. As a consequence, you need time to be alone, you need your own space, your own private domain. When your living space is too small or when your hectic lives, always surrounded by other people, makes this impossible, you will find that this need for quiet personal space slowly starts to dominate everything else in your life. That is why it is not uncommon for someone with a seven in this part of the chart, to one day just up and leave a promising career and a wonderful family. It is up to you not to let this anxiety, this need for space and peace become overwhelming. When you realize this is the ongoing process in your life, you need to answer to the call in a responsible and timely manner. It is much better to take a four-week vacation than to keep going for another year or two, just to reach a point where leaving permanently is the only option left.

PERSONALITY

Your Personality number is derived from the consonants of your full name at birth. Your Personality is like a narrow entrance hall to the great room that is your true nature. It is those aspects that you feel comfortable sharing with people at the outset of a relationship. With time and trust, you invite others into the deeper aspects of your nature; you reveal more of who you really are, in effect, your Heart's Desire, Expression, and so on.

Your Personality number often serves as a censoring device, both in terms of what you send out, as well as what you allow to approach. It discriminates in the kinds of people and information you let enter your heart and mind. For this reason, your Personality is usually much more narrow and protective in its definition than the real you. It can screen out some of what you do not want to deal with -- people or situations -- but it also welcomes those things that immediately relate to your inner nature.

Your Personality number also indicates how others perceive you. No one can be objective about himself or herself. Even our closest friends and relatives have trouble describing how they see us.

George W., your Personality is 17/8

You appear strong and powerful. You have an impressive personality and can influence and even intimidate through sheer force. You have natural authority. Your competence and enthusiasm attract people with resources.

You radiate confidence. People defer to you because they sense your sureness and effectiveness.

You also exude a kind of controlled benevolence. People sense that you are generous, once you are convinced of the worthiness of the cause.

It is important for you to dress well. You radiate a kind of raw power and ableness, which needs to be refined and enhanced by your clothing. You may even dress a bit flashy, but that will not harm you. Quality is among your highest priorities, and should reflect in your clothing.

Although most eights have a strong constitution, they can be prone to indigestion, ulcers, and heart disease due to their reckless eating and drinking habits and their propensity to be workaholics.

Your Achilles heel is your capacity for an egocentric attitude. The negative side of your personality can cause you to be ruthless, greedy, and intensely lonely.

Conversely, you can be spontaneous and excited. You are essentially warm and jovial. In your heart of hearts, you want everyone to be as excited and as happy as you. Those who are around you often sense this. Your coworkers and employees usually like you.

Your Personality's compatibility is 8 and 3

Quickly recognized when two people first meet, not many relationships even get started unless the Personality numbers are compatible.

Laura and George W., the three and the eight affect one in very different ways. So, when these two numbers appear together in this part of the chart, the couples are compatible in some areas, incompatible in others. Laura brings in the creative, somewhat scattered, but yet inspiring and uplifting energy. George W. is more ambitious, goal-oriented and focused. You are both energetic and capable of turning dreams into reality, even though with different approaches. Quite often, this combination is seen between business partners, or long-time friends who start a business together. In that environment, Laura would be the initial creative source, while George W. would be the visionary. Together, you could do very well.

You are also both good communicators. Laura has the ability to clarify an issue with a sense of humor and pinpoint precision. George W. takes a more practical approach by simply grabbing the bull by the horns.

In many ways, Laura and George W., you complement each other and are quite compatible, as revealed in this part of the chart. But, just like in any other number combination, there are areas where problems may arise.

George W. is ambitious, practical and capable of sustained effort for a long period of time in order to reach a goal. Laura also has the energy and drive needed to make things happen, but Laura may drop a project when it is no longer interesting or when other projects become more important. This can be upsetting to George W., who feels that a commitment, such as a set goal, should be honored at any rate - - anything less is unacceptable to George W..

Laura, on the other hand, will sometimes feel that George W.’s priorities are too much directed to George W.’s own needs and expectations. George W. can be quite demanding, while Laura is more easy-going - - if something doesn’t work out, oh well, let’s try something else. George W. doesn’t accept that and feels that the whole purpose of setting a goal is to overcome the obstacles one is bound to encounter.

In the end, the issue comes down to respect. The three and the eight have such different views as to what is important in life that, unless they learn to respect each other’s needs and expectations, the relationship will not last long. However, more often than not, the three and the eight get along quite well.

PERSONAL YEARS

Your Personal Year number is a strong indication of the trends and circumstances you will experience during the year ahead. Your Personal Year cycles are based on the Universal Year cycles and therefore run concurrent with the calendar year. Transit and Essence cycles are based on the letters of your name and run from birth date to birth date.

There are nine personal year numbers, which makes up a complete Epicycle. Each Epicycle reveals the progression or evolution of a specific part of your growth. Your progress along this Epicycle can be seen very logically, from the infancy or beginning of a growth period in your life, to the conclusion or culmination of that process. The 1 personal year indicates your first steps in a new direction. The years that follow indicate your progress along this path, concluding with your 9 Personal Year, which completes the cycle. Below is a description of your current Personal Year. It indicates where you are on the 9 year Epicycle.

The Personal Years form the building steps that mark your progress through life.

George W., your Personal Year for 2002 is 8

After last year's constant involvement with yourself and very possible occasional doubts about the state of your business or career you will find this year to be a relief. Things finally work out. Long postponed checks and promotions come through. You see the light at the end of your financial tunnel and an inner strength and confidence is breaking through. This is your year of harvest and , depending upon the effort you put out in the past seven years , your reward will be equally large. There is a beauty in these cycles we can recognize and understand and in doing so we find ourselves "in the flow" and there is no more need to try and struggle upstream. So this year you will have an opportunity to involve yourself fully in work and material growth and bring home the rewards, at the same time a certain detachment is also necessary, for you and for the experience you have because it is not the reward that brings you happiness but your experience of life, which is why before the rewarding eight year you have had such opportunity for growth during the soul-searching of a seven year. Give in to your ambitions, you will find yourself more clear and focused and able to pursue and reach your goals. Your power is visible and strong, mental creativity is high, vision and intuition will guide you, and at the same time you are more efficient and focused. There can be loss, serious loss, bankruptcy and failure, because always the rewards are directly proportionate to your effort and motivation, however you know the effort you put out and you know your motivations, so there must be no room for fear and doubt, only for success and winning and this year will undoubtedly turn out to be a very satisfying year.

Laura, your Personal Year for 2002 is 1

Be ready for major changes. You will be inspired to start new projects or enterprises. You will feel a strong forward push toward new goals.

This is a time for vision and planning. Share your dream with others; make plans, get the necessary support, but, above all, rely on yourself as the driving force. Be decisive!

You are starting a new nine year Epicycle. Everything you do now will affect your future. Do not hold back the inner force of creation. Be direct, daring, bold.

You will have more confidence and determination this year, particularly in comparison with last year, which was a time of letting go. This year represents a time of birth. It's a time to take charge and to apply yourself to your dream.

This is also a good time to make the personal changes you have long wanted to make: start a diet, an exercise program, begin a new course of study.

There may be some emotional turmoil, especially in the first two or three months. It takes a while to get the ball rolling. There are many changes you must make and much work to be done.

Be open-minded, organized, and focused. Avoid distractions and procrastination.

You are at a crossroads. You will need courage and a clear head to stay on the right track.

This is a year of opportunities.

The key months in your year ahead are March, in which you are able to lay the foundation to your plans; April, in which changes take place such as a change of residence or career; July and August mark a time in which you will see the fruits of your labors begin to take place; October represents a major turn in events, often fraught with emotional turmoil; the fall marks a coalescing of your plans into more concrete form.

Your Personal Year's compatibility for 2002 is 8 and 1

Compatibility is as important with the cycles as it is with character traits. It is possible for a relationship between two people with otherwise very compatible charts to break down as a result of encountering one or more incompatible cycles. However, it is much easier to overcome or avoid possible pitfalls resulting from incompatible cycles than from incompatible personality traits.

The one and eight is an excellent combination to inspire both of you to get busy. Laura is pushing towards goals and George W. is discovering goals. The two of you are treading on a path of progress and financial improvement, although there may be some danger involved for George W., who should be very careful and suspicious of any get-rich-quick schemes.

The gap between the cycles is considerable and has to do with your different spiritual paths. This will become particularly clear during this period and may cause some problems in the relationship. Much of it is superficial and a helpful bit of advice is to just ignore it. Sometimes, in order to maintain a healthy, strong relationship, you need to talk about your differences. There are instances though, when it is better to just avoid the subject and accept the fact that you love each other but are two different people with different experiences. This is a time to ignore the differences and just enjoy each other’s company.

Both of you, Laura and George W., are going through cycles that strengthen your position on the material plane, and during their span, your best approach is to focus on that. As to your intellectual and spiritual differences, you will be better off if you don’t disturb sleeping dogs.

George W., your Personal Year for 2003 is 9

This is your year to finish up all unfinished business, to clean house and make room for new things. On a material level this is a good time to get rid of unnecessary weight, to give away or sell what you do not need anymore and to pay off old debts. On a spiritual level you will experience a different mode altogether. Your attention should turn to others and their needs, find ways to be of help and give time and energy to worthwhile causes. You must lighten your burden of questions and doubts and the best way to do so is by directing your attention to another direction, away from yourself and you will find yourself becoming lighter and more in touch with your self. This is a time of completion, problems can be solved and over with, strained relationships relax or disappear, the sources of stress in work or business can be better understood and dealt with. Be social and communicative, enjoy music and other arts. Your creativity is higher than usual. There can be some difficulties this year due to your desire to face obstacles and overcome them, decisions have to be taken and your courage and strength may be severely tested several times, this is not going to be an easy year all the time but you will feel relieved and on the brink of a positive breakthrough by the end of this year. This is the end of a nine year epicycle and will you will feel many times the excitement of a new and promising era when optimism is your friend but you will also experience the fear of letting go, however the more you let go the more room there is to be filled during the next epicycle.

Laura, your Personal Year for 2003 is 2

This is a year to carefully protect and nurture your plans. You will be like a mother watching over her children, conscious of every threat, real or imagined.

You need tact and cooperation to keep yourself moving forward. There will likely be confrontations with others, requiring a subtle and gentle approach. You will have to stay focused on your goals, yet use intelligent persuasion. Being forceful may work against you; compromises will work in your favor.

You will be unusually sensitive and may wonder at times what happened to the drive and momentum you felt last year. This year requires something else from you now -- a delicate sense of balance and a willingness to go around obstacles, without losing sight of your goal.

You may experience some emotional depressions and frustrations. The year is marked by struggle, but there are many opportunities to advance your plans.

This is a year of slow growth, requiring patience.

Be discriminating in your associations and secretive about your plans. Don't talk too much about your ideas; be a bit secretive; guard yourself and your ideas. You are somewhat vulnerable this year.

This is a good year to improve yourself through reading and research. Your growing awareness of the less visible and less obvious aspects of life will make you much stronger and better prepared for the future.

You must be wise in all your relationships and associations this year. You are far more capable of establishing close, even life long relationships this year. Because sensitivity and openness are heightened, many people find their "soul mate" in a two year.

May is the pivotal month in the year. You are extremely intuitive and sensitive. You are also self-reflecting and better able to influence your peers and situation through spiritual awareness. July brings a culmination of plans and a distinct step forward. August sees things become more concrete and brings a new beginning. September is emotional, requiring adjustments, tact, and inner resolve. The 2 year is a year of growth and advancement, but through gentle means, and the indirect use of your personal power.

Your Personal Year's compatibility for 2003 is 9 and 2

Laura and George W., this is a time when you will be able to recognize whether the relationship is founded on real substance. You are both experiencing a time when emotional forces seem to rule. Laura is somewhat self-absorbed and emotional about pretty much everything. Vulnerable and sensitive, Laura is also more aware and finely tuned to recognize what is real and what is not. In order for the heart to see more clearly, some protective layers have to be dismantled. This is exactly what is going on with Laura in regards to the relationship. While the heart is seeking truth and clarity, it is also more exposed and vulnerable.

For George W., a different but no less emotionally charged period is reflected in the nine. George W. is also searching for answers, but the question is not so much connected to the relationship as to George W., the human being. George W. is facing a crossroads and not sure about which way to turn.

This is a very important time for George W., a time during which George W. experiences ups and downs like a roller coaster. A time of growth and choice.

Laura and George W., you are two people going through different emotional and spiritual changes. You will be able to support each other only in the most basic sense; you can give each other love.

If the relationship has real substance, you will get through this time with flying colors. If the relationship does not have real substance, you will both know that by the end of this period.

PERSONAL MONTHS

George W., your Personal Month for March 2002 is 2

March is a 2 Personal Month in an 8 Personal Year. The month demonstrates how you can sometimes make more progress and be more successful by staying in the background than by forcing the issue. March gives you ample opportunity to influence others, to make them listen to your ideas, even to inspire them to do things your way. You are tactful and sensitive, yet also driven and motivated. You find better ways to handle challenging situations.

Later this month, you gain respect and recognition and will find yourself taking on a leadership role. Your authority is impressive because you balance force and strength with diplomacy and tact.

Romance is favorable and, if you are single, you may meet someone through work or a business meeting who will touch your heart.

Laura, your Personal Month for March 2002 is 4

March is a 4 Personal Month in a 1 Personal Year and is the time to deliver; to show yourself and everyone involved that you are able and willing to do whatever it takes to reach your goals. It is a month to put your nose to the grindstone and to work on all the details.

This is also a month in which your ability to plan and organize future events is greatly enhanced. So, too, is your clarity of mind. You gain confidence in your abilities and yourself. It's time to move; to make things happen. Do not procrastinate. Do not avoid work or effort.

Slacking would be a serious mistake.

The month can be a little frustrating because so much of your energy will have to be directed to work and details, even routine matters. But this is a time that will likely bring forth an important opportunity, and result in real progress.

It's surprising, therefore, that against such a serious and work-oriented backdrop, romance can bloom. Someone is impressed with your down-to-earth, go-getters approach and your can-do mentality. You will find yourself in demand.

Your Personal Month's compatibility for March 2002 is 2 and 4

Relationship compatibility of Personal Month cycles can have a powerful effect. But keep in mind: the cycle is short. So, if you run into turmoil, it helps to remember that it is in the nature of a cycle to be only temporary.

Note: The compatibility between cycles is repetitive, as is the nature of cycles. While the influence of Personal Month cycles represented by the same number, can vary greatly depending on the yearly cycle, the compatibility aspect changes very little. You will therefore find that the compatibility description is the same when, for example, a 3 and 4 Personal Month combination is found in a 5 year, as when it is found in a 6 year.

Therefore, you will find that the possible influence of your Personal Month cycles never repeats itself within any one-hundred-and-eight-month period. However, the compatibility aspect repeats much more often - generally every nine months - but sometimes even less than that, depending on your Personal Year cycle.

For George W., a time of growth as a result of networking, meeting people in relation to work or business, and consolidating plans. For Laura, a time of hard work, focus, and probably a fair amount of frustration. For both of you, George W. and Laura, the focal point should be career, work, your plans, your future.

The relationship is not much of an issue. It is possible that you will experience times when you don’t seem to communicate much or share as much time together as usual. You may even feel that you are pulling away from each other. Don’t worry. It is simply a matter of not being able to be in two places at the same time.

This, however, is only one side of the coin. On a more subtle plane, it is almost as if the opposite takes place. Because for Laura this is also a time of finding stability and comfort. Of placing things where they belong and establishing boundaries and territories. While for George W. the heart rules and emotions are strongly felt and quickly displayed. This means that you complement each other. While Laura works on the practical aspects of your relationship, George W. energizes the relationship on a deeper level. You could say that during this time, Laura works on the home and George W. works on the heart.

George W., your Personal Month for April 2002 is 3

April is a 3 Personal Month in an 8 Personal Year. The events inspire creativity and optimism, as well as a need for flexibility and adaptability. Sometimes, the early part of an 8 Personal Year brings financial challenges and problems. If this is the case, April is the most challenging time of the year.

It is a testing time that forces you to confront your lifestyle and your priorities. With the right adjustments, you can put yourself on sounder financial ground.

The month also encourages a certain detachment from trying to control financial matters too much. Once you stop controlling matters too much, your spiritual understanding of life really pays off in a practical and applicable way.

Last year's opportunities to contemplate and search for insight -- which may have seemed unproductive at times -- now proves to be your best defense on the battle ground of material progress. You are being forced to achieve a balance between the spiritual and the material, especially this month.

In any case, April will reveal to you how capable you are of doing that. Be generous but don't waste money. Focus on getting things done, but don't let financial reward be your only motivation. Introduce creativity and a playful attitude to the job at hand. And most important; don't let temporary setbacks ruin your ambition. This is a time to reach out, not to suppress.

Romance and relationships continue to be favorable. Social events bring new people. Your self-expression and sense of humor improve, and it is easy to make new friends during this time.

Laura, your Personal Month for April 2002 is 5

April is a 5 Personal Month in a 1 Personal Year. It brings change in many practical areas of your life. As explained earlier, this year and last combine to bring about major changes. April brings many of these changes to the surface. They can include a change of residence or in career.

The month often includes travel. You can count on a dynamic month, hectic even, but also adventurous and exciting.

Consequently, the month requires flexibility and a willingness to accept change. Adapt. Respond. Embrace change. The more you allow yourself to flow with the circumstances, the easier and more successful this month will be. Be ready for surprises, but don't worry; the changes will streamline your ship and make your progress easier and more efficient.

Your ability to promote yourself and your ideas is also enhanced. You have an uncanny talent to be in the right place at the right time this month. Both at work and at social events, you'll be able to advertise your talents and abilities. People will be drawn to you.

With all this excitement, it may be hard to concentrate and focus on the job at hand. You'll need self-discipline in order to prevent the scattering of your energy. Unless you concentrate, you may realize at the end of this month that you did not get a lot done.

Romance reveals a self-indulgent and perhaps irresponsible streak in you and should be handled with the utmost care.

Your Personal Month's compatibility for April 2002 is 3 and 5

This is one of the most compatible combinations of cycles, George W. and Laura. You are both experiencing a time of enhanced energy and dynamic growth.

Within the contexts of your relationship, you are able to communicate well, enjoy each other’s company, and play off each other’s energy. Lower blood pressure and less stress bring more flexibility to the body and to the mind, which explains why this is considered a cycle of healing.

There is little negative to say about this combination of cycles, except for the inherit danger of having too much fun. Quite often, the three as well as the five draw elements of danger in their search for new and exciting experiences, which does not go unnoticed to those around you. You will have to be careful not to draw into your circle people whose influence is less than desirable.

George W., your Personal Month for May 2002 is 4

May is a 4 Personal Month in an 8 Personal Year. It is a time of hard work, progress, and opportunity. As with most of this year, the focus in May is on career and finances. There may well be a great opportunity that comes your way. This opportunity offers all kinds of changes, such as a move of residence (either in June, or in or around November), a change of employer, or a promotion.

The early part of May can be frustrating due to the need to involve yourself with routine affairs and details. You have some catching up to do. You may feel restless and bored. However, later this month brings the opportunity you have been waiting for. You are more organized and manage your time well.

You are dependable and anxious to take care of some long-postponed chores. You may decide to start a remodeling project on your house. Your relationships are more harmonious.

If you are involved in a long-term love relationship, you will find that comfort and security replace some old doubts.

Laura, your Personal Month for May 2002 is 6

May is a 6 Personal Month in a 1 Personal Year. Love is a strong possibility and may require commitment. It is a month of responsibility, unselfish giving, and a willingness to devote time and energy to the needs of others. Domestic and community affairs move to the foreground of your life.

Sometimes, this combination of numbers causes long slumbering discord between couples to surface and be dealt with.

Consequently, this combination can represent both extremes of relationship -- either deeper commitment and more lasting love; or separation and divorce.

Honesty is essential to the positive development of the month. You may find yourself tempted to take the easy way out in some awkward situation. However, white lies can turn ugly and become very destructive, particularly during this time.

In general, this is a good time for career and financial matters, as long as you are wise and careful. Be sure to avoid speculation or chance-taking.

This month may get you involved in a legal affair and, if that is the case, you can look forward to a positive outcome, as long as you stick to the truth and behave honorably.

During a 6 Personal Month, 1 Personal Year, your ethics and moral values

-- more than at any other time -- are crucial to your success.

Your Personal Month's compatibility for May 2002 is 4 and 6

George W. and Laura, the combination of cycles you are now undergoing offers a number of opportunities for you to improve the quality of all aspects of your life. You complement each other very well. It is a time of shared effort with George W. focusing on the practical aspects and Laura on the heart and health of the relationship. George W. and Laura, your energies are in line and enhance all the good qualities found in the four and the six. You will experience progress as well as financial growth, and will also manage to play a larger role in the community around you. You may even find yourself combining your forces to reach common goals. Very few negative influences may come from this combination of cycles. Even a tendency for George W. to become irritated - perhaps even angry - a little quicker during a four cycle is easily lessened by Laura’s ability to reach out and comfort George W..

George W., your Personal Month for June 2002 is 5

June is a 5 Personal Month in an 8 Personal Years. It brings changes and unexpected events. There isn't much use in planning too much this month, because much will happen unexpectedly. This is a hectic and dynamic month. Go with the flow; be flexible; and trust your instinct.

If you are able to adapt to the unpredictable events of this month, your experience will be exciting and adventurous, and quite possibly profitable. However, if you insist stubbornly to stick to your plans and expectations, you will be disappointed.

You are in a position to show your special talents and abilities to people who can be influential in your career.

You are able to think on your feet and your reflexes are sharp. This time is particularly good for those who are in retail, real estate, or some other business that's based on sales and closing deals. Financial gains are often considerable.

Travel is possible and favorable. This is also a good time to move, or change your environment in some way.

Romance is very exciting and, if you are single, you will have to hide out to keep from meeting someone. People gravitate to you and the opposite sex is more than usually attracted to you.

Laura, your Personal Month for June 2002 is 7

June is a 7 Personal Month in a 1 Personal Year and offers time and opportunity for contemplation and insight.

Career and romance do not require as much attention as your own inner need to understand your motivations and desires. Don't make the mistake of feeling guilty for not carrying your load, or for not working hard enough. This is a month to set aside time for yourself. Look inside, get a better idea of what you want out of life, and don't be afraid to confront yourself. This is a spiritual time and a wonderful opportunity to gain insight into your true motivations and desires.

Your career should not require much attention; just keep up your sails and let the wind take care of the rest.

Financially, this is a time to be conservative. Let friends coast on their own. This is a month to devote to the inner you.

Your Personal Month's compatibility for June 2002 is 5 and 7

George W. and Laura, this is one of the most healing and loving cycles you can experience. The five and the seven are very different, but they get along extremely well.

George W. is undergoing a time of changes and dynamic energy. Laura, you are a bit more withdrawn than usual because your focus is on your inner life: who you are and where you are going. Although the cycles tend to influence you very differently -- outward for George W., inward for Laura -- these energies thrive on each other. Laura, your desire, consciously or subconsciously, to understand better who you are and where you want to go, as well as the fact that you are more quiet and subdued, creates somewhat of an aura of mystery around you. This is very attractive to George W., in particular during this time when nothing else seems subtle and mysterious. George W.’s charged energy and inspiring attitude has a powerful and positive effect on Laura, for whom this is like a lifeline to the “real” world. A mistake people in George W.’s position sometimes make, however, is to view their partner’s quietness to mean that something is wrong. Don’t make that mistake, George W.. The one thing people in a seven period don’t want is for someone else to try to draw them out of that quiet space. Laura would probably experience that as annoying and intrusive. Just be together. That is all it takes to make this a wonderful time of closeness and deeply felt appreciation.

George W., your Personal Month for July 2002 is 6

July is a 6 Personal Month in an 8 Personal Year. It is an excellent time for business and financial affairs. Respect and recognition for past efforts is followed by financial gain or promotion. You are in a position to ask and receive what you believe is your due. However, you may find that you are not as diplomatic as you might be. This is your most challenging weakness during this month. Guard against arrogance. Your responsibilities increase possibly as a result of a promotion.

Family affairs, friendships, and romance also move to the foreground and are rewarding and healing. You will be asked to sacrifice some of your time and energy to a younger person or someone who is old or sick. You feel closer to the people around you and you want to be there for them.

Somewhat contradicting to this show of warmth and affection is the lack of tact and sensitivity you may display a number of times during this month. You may be too intent on forcing people to see life as you do, rather than allowing them their own perspectives and their own rates of growth.

The later part of this month brings changes that arise from a chance meeting at a social event. This change may be based on a romantic encounter, and may affect your living situation.

An unexpected travel is also a possibility.

Laura, your Personal Month for July 2002 is 8

July is an 8 Personal Month in a 1 Personal Year. Career and finances are at the top of all your priorities. Work hard and wisely. Combine practicality and vision. This is not the time to sit and stare into space, but to be on your toes, to keep your eyes wide open, and refrain from taking any unnecessary risks. For professional gamblers, this can be a very profitable period, but for those of us who live according to the simpler laws of effort and reward, this is a month to stay with the tried and true. All affairs related to money should be handled with the utmost care. But let me be clear: This month is a rewarding time, and your chances that events will take a positive turn are great. If you are wise and cautious, you may increase your bank balance considerably. Nine-out-of-ten people in this combination -- 8 Month, 1 Year -- increase the strength of their financial positions.

This month brings strong emotions in personal relationships. Chances are good that someone has been trying to take advantage of you. Moreover, this realization leaves you disappointed. The situation will eventually be resolved, but the healing will likely take time.

If you are not yet romantically involved, this month may introduce you to someone special through work or business.

Your Personal Month's compatibility for July 2002 is 6 and 8

Although quite different, these cycles are nonetheless very compatible. Both of you, George W. and Laura, will experience progress in career and other worldly matters. Laura and George W., this can turn out to be an excellent time that may well bring a financial windfall.

On a more personal level, you are also more involved with each other, albeit in very different ways. For George W., it is simply a matter of the heart. George W. feels strongly committed and wants nothing more than to make Laura happy. For Laura, there is some awakening of leadership spirit and ambition, even within the relationship. And here is where we may encounter a possible pitfall. Laura, your tact and diplomacy are not particularly enhanced right now. You are taking more control of your life, but you have to be careful not to try and take control of the lives of those you care about, including, of course, George W.’s life. It is easy to see how that can become a source of friction: George W. needs your love, not your leadership. Focus your ambition on other things and allow your heart, not your mind, to control your relationship.
