LIFE PATH

If ever there was a moment of total transformation, it was the moment of yourbirth. In that instant, you stepped through a door in time into a new reality -- thereality of human life. The most important number in your numerology chart isbased 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, asunique as your DNA. Everything that is you existed in potential, much like a playthat is about to begin. Your entire life exists as a potential that has been preparedfor. Bono, you have ultimate freedom to do with your life as you like: To fulfill itspotential completely, or to make some smaller version of yourself. It all dependsupon your effort and commitment. You make the decisions to fulfill, to whateverextent, 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 aretraveling. It reveals the opportunities and challenges you will face in life. Your LifePath number is the single most important information available in your PersonalityChart!

Your Life Path is 13/4

Bono, you are practical, down to earth with strong ideas about right and wrong.You are orderly and organized, systematic and controlled, you are decisive andmethodical employing a step by step rational approach to problems solving. Oncecommitted you do not give up easily! You are not one for "get rich quick" schemes. Rather you use hard work andlong hours to build a business or career; you seek to establish a solid foundation.Precise, tenacious and persevering, you have great potential for success, butonly after putting out effort and overcoming the limitations you so often encounter.Justice and honesty are sacred to you. You are reliable and dependable, acornerstone in the community. Though not an idealist, you are willing to work for a better world in a realisticway. However, you can be rigid in your ideas and sometimes too quick in judgingyour fellow man. You are loyal to those you love and work well with others. It isimportant that while being part of a team you have your own responsibility andwell- defined task, you perform better when your responsibilities are notoverlapping with those of others. You have to be careful not to be bossy and rude.You possess rare discipline and perseverance and not everyone can keep upwith you. Bono, you can handle money carefully and like the security of a nest egg. Your love of work often leads you into a career early in life. Because of your

Page 2


methodical nature you can easily become rigid and stuck in convention. You canalso be overly cautious when changes are necessary, this can cause you to missopportunities that present themselves. You must cultivate flexibility in yourcharacter. You are well suited for marriage and often become a responsibleloving parent. However, anything that violates your profound sense of order, suchas separation or divorce can be a shattering experience for you. You easilybecome obsessed and even vengeful, seeking your own definition of justice. You are courageous and a true survivor. You are a builder and the foundation ofany enterprise. Your hard work and practical, traditional values pay off to provideyou with the rewards you seek and deserve.

Bono, your 13 Life Path is somewhat burdened by the presence of a KarmicDebt. Those with the 13 Karmic Debt will work very hard to accomplish any task.Obstacles stand in their way, and must be overcome time and again. One mayoften feel burdened and frustrated by the seeming futility of one's efforts theremay be a desire to surrender to the difficulties and simply give up on the goal,believing it was impossible to attain in the first place. Some with the 13 KarmicDebt fall to laziness and negativity. But efforts are not futile, and success is wellwithin reach. One simply must work hard, and persevere in order to reach thegoal. Many highly successful people in all walks of life, including business, art,and athletics, have a 13 Karmic Debt.

The key to succeeding wit the 13 is focus. Very often, people with the 13Karmic Debt do not concentrate or direct their energies in one specific direction,or on a single task, but scatter their energies over many projects and jobs, noneof which amount to very much. A temptation wit the 13 is to take shortcuts forquick success. Too often, that easy success doesn't come, causing regret andthe desire to give up. The result is a poor self-image, and the belief that one isincapable of amounting to very much.

In order to focus, you must maintain order in your life. Order is essential tosuccess. You must maintain a schedule, keep appointments, and follow through.Keep your environment neat and under control, and never procrastinate. If yousustain a steady and consistent effort, you will realize much reward.

BIRTHDAY

The day you were born bears great significance in understanding who you areand where your talents lie. The day of birth indicates some special talent youpossess. It is a gift to you that will help you along your Life's Path. Your day ofbirth is one of your four core numbers -- the Life Path, Expression, and Heart’s

Page 3


Desire being the other three. It is the least significant of the four core numbers,but perhaps the most finite, in that it reveals a specific ability you possess in amarked degree.

Your Birthday is 10/1

Bono, you are highly ambitious and yearn for independence. You possessleadership abilities, and a strong drive for success. Your test in life is to liveaccording to your dream -- that is, to have the courage and the stamina toovercome obstacles and win the independence you so deeply want. You possess a sharp mind and fine analytical skills. You have excellentmanagerial skills. You plan well and can organize people to carry out your plan. You are often frustrated by routine activities. You can become dull and evendepressed if you are bound too tightly to the smaller details of life. In order to rescue yourself from such a fate, it will be necessary to take prudentrisks. Bono, you must learn to assert yourself. You are a pioneer at heart. Youmust live up to such a charge. You can be stubborn and rigid when it comes to ideas that you feel stronglyabout. Yet, you are a loyal and devoted friend and can be demonstrative of youraffections. Conversely, you are highly competitive and can suffer from jealousy when itcomes to the success of others, especially colleagues or friends. By using the determination and creativity you possess, you can achieve muchsuccess.

EXPRESSION

Your Expression number reveals your physical and mental constitution, theorientation or goal of your life. Some numerologists refer to this number as theDestiny, because it represents a lifelong target at which you are aiming. Youwork at fulfilling this potential every day of your life. Thus, the Expression numberreveals your inner goal, the person you aim to be. The Expression number reveals the talents, abilities, and shortcomings thatwere with you when you entered your human body. Your name, and the numbersderived from it, reveals your development, as well as the talents and issues youwill be working with during this life. For those for whom reincarnation is an accepted philosophy, the vibration ofyour full name can be seen as the totality of your personal evolution, theexperiences, talents, and wisdom accumulated over many life times. Everyexperience, no matter how great or small, along this evolutionary path hasinfluenced 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

Page 4


attempting to learn this time around. Time allows the gradual emergence of yourpersonality. By reading the Expression number below, you will come tounderstand your basic nature and the abilities and issues inherent in your being.

Your Expression is 30/3

Bono, you are optimistic, inspiring, outgoing, and expressive. People see youas cheerful, positive and charming; your personality has a certain bounce andverve that so powerfully affects others that you can inspire people without effort. All of this upward energy is a symptom of your tremendous creativity. Yourverbal skills may well lead you into the fields of writing, comedy, theater, andmusic. Yours is the number of self-expression -- rich in imagination and spirit. But youhave to be careful not to scatter your talents. Your bane is that you often lackdiscipline and order in your life. Avoid becoming a "happy- go-lucky" spendthrift,escaping responsibility and commitment. You must learn to concentrate andfocus. These are the keys to your success. You have great potential in the arts andareas that requires creative solutions to problems. You are able to perform leapsof imagination, providing unconventional ideas as if they suddenly descendedfrom above. Hard work and focus, however, are the foundation for a successfulfuture. Though you possess great verbal skills, your mind tends to see life as picturesrather than in words. Yet, you have the ability to think abstractly. Creativity is a sensitive faculty that is often suppressed in childhood. If you lackthe confidence to pursue your ideas, you may divert your abilities into a scatteringof trivial pursuits. To overcome this problem, you must make a choice. Bono, you have to limityour field of vision and the number of activities you engage in, and bundle yourenergies into a single thrust. Focus your life; choose the area that you love themost, and commit. There, you will find success. And a great deal of happiness. Love, romance, and money are within your reach. You are aided by yourfriends and admirers. Often people appear out of nowhere to help you in keysituations. Bono, you have to learn to accept the involvement of others in yourlife. You are not a loner, nor are you particularly independent. You are social --you need an audience and the support of others to fully realize your abilities. On the down-side, you can be superficial, moody, and intolerant. You areemotional and sensitive, sometimes presuming criticism where none wasintended. You can also be jealous and gossipy. Beware of becoming cynical andsarcastic. These traits can suppress your natural creativity. Be goal-oriented. This is a practical, step-by-step approach to your largerambitions. You possess the natural abilities to attain a high degree of excellence.

HEART'S DESIRE

Your Heart's Desire is the inner you. It shows your underlying urge, your truemotivation. It reveals the general intention behind many of your actions.Consequently, it dramatically influences the choices you make in life. The Heart'sdesire is seen as part of the larger picture, called the core numbers, whichincludes the Life Path, Expression, Day you were born, and Personality. Buteach points to a different aspect of you. The Expression number reveals your talents and abilities, and your generaldirection in life. The Life Path is the central lesson you came into the world tolearn. The Day you were born is very closely connected to your Life Path. Itreveals specific talents you possess, which will be helpful to you in dealing withyour Life Path. The Personality reveals how people tend to see you. It alsodemonstrates what characteristics you are projecting to the world. The Heart'sDesire demonstrates the identity of the soul that joined the earth -- you, thespiritual being.

Your Heart's Desire is 16/7

Bono, 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 studythings in-depth. You search beneath the surface of things. You abhor shallowjudgments or opinions. You have a natural gift for analysis and research. Once you have grasped thefacts of a subject, your creativity and abstract approach lifts your thinking beyondthe rudimentary to the philosophical. You have a theoretical mind, but rather thanindulge in fantasies or idle thought, you prefer to base your theories uponscientific facts. Bono, you enjoy mental and physical puzzles -- figuring them out, taking themapart, and putting them back together. Some people may perceive you as cool or aloof. You are somewhatintroverted; you may feel slightly removed and even a little different. The fantasyof 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. Youprefer to talk about the facts of a given situation, rather than the cloudier issues ofemotions and personal feelings. You distrust feelings -- both your own and thoseof others. The whole emotional realm strikes you as unreliable, and a bitunnecessary. Bono, your inability to fully understand the emotional aspect of life is yourAchilles heel. You are so rational that the unpredictability of the heart frightensand surprises you.

Page 6


Your challenge is to trust. You need to share your heart with someone. This isa 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 itwill not lead you out of loneliness. The more removed you are from people, themore you risk isolation, bitterness, and a cynical attitude toward life. This choice represents a true crossroads in your development. By sharingyourself with others (without compromising your independence and need forprivacy) you can cultivate your enormous charm and share your understanding oflife. You are a natural teacher and advisor. And the wealth of knowledge you willaccumulate in life is meant to be shared with others. This is not to say that you must compromise on your need for privacy or timespent alone to contemplate life. These are natural aspects of your personality,which are essential to your growth. These characteristics should not bethreatening to your spouse, but must be understood as fundamental to yourbeing. Bono, you are blessed with a great reserve of intuition, which can be cultivatedby regular meditation and contemplation. Your "inner voice" is your greatest guideand friend. You are idealistic and have high expectations for yourself. Learn to balanceyour serious nature with regular doses of fun. Your intelligence and cultivation make you charming and distinguished inappearance. As you get older and more comfortable with your identity, people arenaturally attracted to you. They see your wisdom, your deep understanding of life,and the refinement you radiate.

PERSONALITY

Your Personality number is derived from the consonants of your full name atbirth. Your Personality is like a narrow entrance hall to the great room that is yourtrue nature. It is those aspects that you feel comfortable sharing with people atthe outset of a relationship. With time and trust, you invite others into the deeperaspects of your nature; you reveal more of who you really are, in effect, yourHeart's Desire, Expression, and so on. Your Personality number often serves as a censoring device, both in terms ofwhat you send out, as well as what you allow to approach. It discriminates in thekinds of people and information you let enter your heart and mind. For thisreason, your Personality is usually much more narrow and protective in itsdefinition than the real you. It can screen out some of what you do not want todeal with -- people or situations -- but it also welcomes those things thatimmediately relate to your inner nature. Your Personality number also indicates how others perceive you. No one can

Page 7


be objective about himself or herself. Even our closest friends and relatives havetrouble describing how they see us.

Your Personality is 5

Bono, you are a stimulating person. You brighten social gatherings with yourfresh and original ideas. Your conversation tends to be sprinkled with novelty andwit. You have a quick tongue and charisma. You are probably an excellentsalesman. There is a lot of nervous energy within you looking for an outlet. You love your freedom and you see this life as an ongoing adventure. You areupbeat and optimistic. This is infectious for those you meet. As a result, youinspire others. You have a strong and attractive body, with good muscle tone. Yourmovements are supple, graceful, and athletic. Bono, your bane is that you love to indulge your senses with food and drink andcan easily gain weight. You have an appetite for anything that stimulates thesenses -- sex, food, alcohol, and drugs. Discipline is a necessity for you. Thenegative side of a 5 Personality Number can give rise to an addictive personality. You like to dress fashionably and can get away with more colorful clothes.However, you should be aware of the value of quality and the power of modesty. You are a little irresponsible and quick in satisfying your sensual urges. Youare attractive and that, coupled with your innate ability to promote yourself, makesit easy for you to satisfy your desire for new and exciting relationships. You have a kind of swashbuckling personality. People see you as theadventurer that you are. They expect the unexpected from you, and when theydon't you often surprise them. You have a quick and eclectic mind. You attract information from all directions,but you can be a bit superficial, skimming over the surface of a wide diversity ofsubjects. This may cause you to be a bit of a dilettante. You can get away with itmuch of the time, but for your own success and happiness, you should try toground knowledge and deepen your understanding. Bono, your versatility and adaptability make you capable of getting the most outof virtually every opportunity in life. You decide quickly on a course of action andyour timing is usually good. You radiate with the potential for success, whichattracts others who can further you along your path.

MATURITY

Your Maturity number indicates an underlying wish or desire that graduallysurfaces around age thirty to thirty-five. This underlying goal begins to emerge asyou gain a better understanding of yourself. With self-knowledge comes a

Page 8


greater awareness of who you are, what your true goals in life are, and whatdirection you want to set for your life. This, in a nutshell, is the gift of maturity:You no longer waste time and energy on things that are not within your ownspecial identity. No matter what your age is at present, your life is being channeled in a specificdirection, toward a very specific goal. That goal can be seen as a reward or thefulfillment of a promise that is implicit in your current efforts, often without yourknowing it consciously. While the characteristics of this number are usuallyvisible during childhood, we tend to lose sight of these aspects until later in life.But our lives are always being affected by this influence, nonetheless. Your Maturity number begins to have a more profound impact on your life afterthe age of 35. The influence of the number increases steadily as you grow older.

Your Maturity is 7

As you mature, Bono, you will become increasingly occupied with the largerquestions of life, reading, contemplating and searching for a deeperunderstanding of who you are and what this life is all about. You may turn to philosophy or religion, but will likely examine a wide array ofareas, broadening your knowledge in many disciplines. Your intuition grows stronger, as does your ability to look beneath the surfaceof every subject you study. You are able to analyze abstract questions and liveaccording to your higher ideals. You may find yourself needing more time alone; your need for privacy will likelyincrease. If you already have several sevens in your chart, you will have to guard againstbecoming withdrawn, and alienated. If you have no sevens, you will now have the ability to deepen yourunderstanding of one particular field. You will have the opportunity to becomegrounded in a particular area of study.

PINNACLES

The Pinnacles are four long-term cycles, or periods, on our Life Path. EachPinnacle represents a particular lesson we are working on. The first Pinnacleusually lasts from birth to between the ages of 30 and 35 (your specific Pinnacleperiods are provided below). The middle two Pinnacles each last nine years.The last Pinnacle will stay with you for the remainder of your life. The Pinnacles are very important. The transition from one Pinnacle to the nextis always strongly felt. Your Pinnacles reveal the general conditions and eventsyou will experience during the period. The Pinnacle describes the atmosphere, orthe essential challenge you will be faced with.

Page 9


You can prepare yourself for the times ahead by knowing your approachingPinnacle number. The transition from one Pinnacle to the next is usually prepared forapproximately 2 years in advance. The latter part of that two year period isparticularly strong. Bono, you will likely make some life-altering decisions --marriage, job or career change, or any number of major changes in yourcharacter. Perhaps the most strongly felt change -- internally as well as externally -- is thetransition from the first to the second Pinnacle. This change usually takes placein your late 20s or early 30s -- the exact date depends on your Life Path numberand is provided below. You begin to feel the impact of this coming changeapproximately two years prior. This is usually a difficult transition, but oncecrossed usually provides a clear sense of direction in one's life. It also gives youa much firmer sense of your identity. It is a gateway to maturity.

Your First Pinnacle (from birth until age 32) is 6

Under this Pinnacle you will be very involved with family, friends, and yourcommunity. Bono, you will face an increase in responsibilities and duties, but youhave a greatly enhanced sense of balance and perspective that allows you tohandle emotional issues well. Your family demands much of your attention. Matters involving spouse andchildren require much security, love, and sacrifice. You are the centerpiece ofyour family, the one people come to for solace and understanding. You may feelan increased burden, as you carry the cares of many. You will experience a deepsense of being needed. This Pinnacle is full of love, closeness, and warmth, but you must rise to thechallenges that close relationships bring. Bono, you must settle and bringharmony to personal conflicts between others. You are often the only one withperspective in a conflict. It is as if you are the keeper of justice, bringingunderstanding and compromise to situations that are polarized. Under the influences of this Pinnacle -- especially at its outset -- people areoften married or start families. Children are born, in-laws come into your life. Youare the nucleus of a little world. You must maintain your dignity. This is a period that makes it easier tosacrifice, but you can overdo it, becoming a doormat for others to step on simplyto maintain a degree of peace. Know your limits and maintain healthyrelationships. This is a fine period for growth in business and financial matters. You attractpeople with resources who can help to further your personal goals. Moreover,you are balanced in your approach to business affairs. This can bring manyrewards.

Page 10


Bono, your heightened sense of harmony and your genuine compassionmakes you an excellent counselor and healer, especially if you already havenative talent in any of these areas. Personal health matters can also surface, causing you to reflect on diet,exercise, and other health habits. Your desire to help others is also increased. But this can lead you to pokeyourself into situations where you do not belong, or delve too deeply into otherpeople's personal affairs. Be careful not to meddle or interfere.

The 6 Pinnacle is a time of progress and growth as a full human being. Youare capable of developing yourself in many different directions -- as a loving mateand parent; a sound businessperson; and as a pillar of your community. Thetime requires the balance you possess, since you can easily stretch yourself intoo many directions and ultimately feel burned out by the demands in your milieu.

Your Second Pinnacle (from age 33 until age 41) is 8

Bono, under the influences of this Pinnacle, you will have greatly enhancedtalent for dealing successfully with business and finances. This is a time ofmaterial growth, a time of expansion and reward. It is the cycle of harvest. The 8 Pinnacle also increases your personal power. You have soundjudgment and vision. In fact, this is the basis of your financial success. People sense your power and effectiveness. They defer to you much moreeasily, and look to you for answers. This makes it easier for you to use powerwithout having to be a bully or force your way through situations. They perceiveyour able ness and want to join you in your vision. Others have faith in you. You will be able to organize large enterprises. Problems do not threaten youso much as provide a challenge. You yourself sense your enhanced personalpowers and feel a growing sense of stability and centeredness. You will becapable of influencing matter in an almost magical way. As a result, you areextremely goal oriented, moving toward the realization of your dreams withconfidence and clarity. Bono, your challenge during this period is to maintain a hold on your humanand spiritual values. You must remain balanced between heaven and earth.There will be enormous temptations to make money and status your onlypriorities, excluding the more human or immaterial matters entirely. This willundoubtedly lead to losses. You are being tested and instructed in the real valueof money -- it's natural place in life. If money is placed on a high altar,overshadowing all other facets of life, you will become its slave. If you are balanced in your approach to money, and have proper perspective,this can be a truly rewarding period, both materially and spiritually. That is thetrue promise of the 8.

Page 11


The number 8 symbolizes the balance between the finite and infinite, matterand spirit. It offers a great opportunity to grow.

Your Third Pinnacle (from age 42 until age 50) is 5

This is a period that will teach the realities of freedom and expansion. Bono,you will travel great distances, meet many new and interesting people, experiencemany adventures, and essentially come to know the world. You are in a period ofaccelerated experimentation and learning. Experience is your teacher. Your ability with words is greatly increased. You can write and speak withease. You are also able to successfully promote yourself. In fact, this is thesource of much adventure; new opportunities for work, travel, and exoticexperiences present themselves with regularity. Your challenge is to prevent yourself from becoming a rolling stone. You needto ground yourself in a particular discipline, career, or relationship. This will notlimit your freedoms so much as give you a base for operation. Otherwise, youmay find yourself skipping from one meaningless job to the next, one superficialrelationship after another. You can also fall victim to the abuse of food, alcohol,sex, or drugs. Bono, you may fear being anchored or tied down, which can cause you to skimthe surface of a pursuit you enjoy, or important relationships. You must come to know the true meaning of freedom, which is unconditionallove. You give your love and energy without the condition of holding on to a place,a person, or an occupation; and you expect the same in return -- to be loved forwhat you are, rather than someone who belongs to another. There is a highlyspiritual path offering itself that requires detachment without loss of love. Many turn away from this and instead choose to maintain a superficialrelationship with the world, or with other people. You must cultivate your talents, especially your verbal and writing abilities. Youare likely a gifted salesperson, or promoter. You must accept limitations as a necessary base for your freedom. Freedomcannot exist without limitations, otherwise you would be without identity, andwithout existence.

Your Fourth Pinnacle (from age 51) is 3

This is a highly creative period. Bono, your self-expression is greatlyenhanced. Your creative and artistic talents will peak. You should do everythingpossible to refine these abilities and make the most of them. Many under the 3Pinnacle are drawn to writing, the theater, singing, and dance. Your chances ofsuccess are also heightened. Hard work in any artistic field that one has a talentfor can result in much reward.

Page 12


This is also a highly social and emotional time. You attract friends andadmirers with your charm and gregarious nature. You have the ability to inspire and motivate people. Your upbeat energy causespeople to want to work with and for you. This is a lucky period, as well. You can overcome problems with considerablyless effort than in the past. All of this can lead to self-indulgence and lack of productivity. Life is a littleeasier, which can make you less vigilant. You need focus and discipline. Underthe influence of this Pinnacle, hard work is the key and the challenge to makingthe most of your opportunities. Be careful of impulsive behavior or doing things on a lark. You must know yourlimits during this period. Be careful of your money; balance your accounts.Guard against disorderly thinking and behavior. Otherwise, you may do thingsyou regret or simply squander away so many opportunities. Children born under this Pinnacle must be disciplined and kept from beingspoiled. An early education in the arts will inspire the child to make the most ofhis or her artistic talents.

CYCLES

Like most stories, there are three great divisions of our lives: the First, oropening period, finds us groping to find our true nature; at the same time, we aretrying to cope with the powerful forces that are present in our environment, ourparents and the socio-economic conditions of our family, for example. TheSecond Cycle, or middle period of our lives, brings about the slow emergence ofour individual and creative talents. The initial part of this cycle -- the early and mid30s -- represents a struggle to find our place in the world, while the late 30s, 40s,and early 50s, sees us with a greater degree of self-mastery and influence overthe environment. The Third, or final Cycle, can represent a flowering of our innerbeing, such that our true nature has finally come to fruition. It is during this periodthat one has the greatest degree of self-expression and power.

Your First Cycle (from birth until age 32) is 5

A period of rapid progress and much change. Bono, you are learning thelesson of freedom. You will travel, move your residence many times, and changejobs. You are footloose. It is a time when you will be free of the burdens ofresponsibility. You will have a flair for successfully promoting yourself. Yourabilities with words will be greatly enhanced. Bono, you can learn foreignlanguages, write, and edit. You will meet many exciting people, visit foreign lands,and encounter many new ideas. Identify yourself with all that is progressive andfarsighted in your field. Seek change and take hold of new opportunities.

Page 13


Your Second Cycle (from age 33 until age 59) is 1

This is a period of much intensity. It requires fortitude, courage, and flexibility.Bono, you will be forced to use every one of your talents in order to achieve yourown personal individuality and independence. This is a period of integration and afocusing on your life's dream. Your grip on your direction will be tested, butsomehow the resources are available to overcome any obstacle and emergefrom this time all the stronger. It is a time requiring independence, resilience, andstrength, but these characteristics become integral part of your personality. Thiscycle marks a time of progress.

Your Third and last Cycle (from age 60) is 7

A time to specialize, a time to think deeply and contemplate the deeperquestions of life. Study a subject you enjoy in depth. Bono, you are attracted tothe fields of science, technology, philosophy, and metaphysics. Become anexpert in a specific area. You have excellent intuition and a mind that canpenetrate beneath the surface of any subject you commit to. Focus yourenergies and thoughts. This is a period of inner development. Meditation,contemplation, and self-reflection are means of inner enrichment. Developwisdom. Relationship may seem burdensome at times because of the desire tospend time alone. There is some resistance to sharing your deeper feelings withothers. The inner life is so compelling that you will want to immerse yourself in it.Share the knowledge you accumulate by teaching, counseling, or simply talking toothers.

ESSENCE

The Essence Number and the Personal Year Number are the two essentialindicators of the forces that will influence your life during the course of any year.While the Personal Year runs from January to January, the Essence is moststrongly felt from birthday to birthday. For example, if your essence number is 8for the year 1988, you would begin to feel the influence of that 8 most powerfullyafter your 1988 birthday. The influence would begin to wane during 1989 andwould finally end at your birthday of 1989. The Essence number indicates the lessons you will be dealing with during thatyear. It says a great deal about how you will perceive your environment. It alsogives clear advice on how you can be most successful during the year, that is,which types of behavior will be supported by your milieu, and which ones will beless effective.

Page 14


Your Essence at the age of 48 is 9

This is a period during which your ideals will be tested and forged anew. Bono,you will be broadened in ways that you would never have dreamed possible. Youwill likely experience a dramatic psychological and spiritual expansion. Oldrelationships that no longer have a place in your life will be let go of. Even oldhabits or characteristics that you believed were fundamental to your identity seemto evaporate. There is a need to forgive those in your past and let them get on with their lives,as you must with yours. Hanging on to negative attachments, either out of angeror a sense that justice has not yet been done, will bring you much misery and, ifthe courts are involved, protracted lawsuits. You now have the ability to reach out to the masses. This is a time requiringmuch self-sacrifice and service to others. You are deeply affected by the painand sufferings of others, and will feel a need to change your milieu or society forthe better. Those in the arts, especially actors, writers, and other performers, will see anenhancement of their talents and the opening of many new opportunities foradvancement. Bono, your focus is outward in a big way. Teach, perform, and advancesociety in your own way. Dedicate yourself to a higher cause. These are theareas that will meet with much success. Conversely, selfishness, negativity, and pettiness will blow up in your face.The time demands a broad view of life. You are now the visionary, who must seethe greater trends in humanity. Out of this will come much compassion for all. This is the lesson of the period:That as you work for the greater good of society, you will be personally rewarded,so much so that your cup will runneth over.

Your Essence at the age of 49 is 11/2

This is a time of enormous sensitivity and equally enormous change. Yourintuition is galvanized. You are capable of even psychic experiences. But yourawareness of the higher realms serves to throw a light upon all that is low andunenlightened in your own life. The contrast can be shocking. Bono, you are all-too aware of your shortcomings as a human being. This candrive you more deeply inward. You are extremely self-conscious. There may befeelings of failure and self-recrimination. These must be kept under control. All of this stems from an element of shock present in your life. The very groundupon which your personality is based seems to have experienced an upheaval.This psychic quake can often be replicated by some event in your life.Consequently, your identity is shaken.

There are nine personal year numbers, which makes up a complete Epicycle.Each Epicycle reveals the progression or evolution of a specific part of yourgrowth. Bono, your progress along this Epicycle can be seen very logically, fromthe infancy or beginning of a growth period in your life, to the conclusion orculmination of that process.

After last year's constant involvement with yourself and very possibleoccasional doubts about the state of your business or career you will find thisyear to be a relief, Bono. Things finally work out. Long postponed checks andpromotions come through. You see the light at the end of your financial tunneland an inner strength and confidence is breaking through. This is your year ofharvest and, depending on the effort you put out in the past seven years, yourreward will be equally large. There is a beauty in these cycles we can recognizeand understand and in doing so we find ourselves "in the flow" and there is nomore need to try and struggle upstream. So this year you will have an opportunityto 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 theexperience you have because it is not the reward that brings you happiness butyour experience of life, which is why before the rewarding eight year you have hadsuch opportunity for growth during the soul-searching of a seven year. Give in toyour ambitions, you will find yourself more clear and focused and able to pursueand reach your goals. Bono, your power is visible and strong, mental creativity ishigh, 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 andmotivation, however you know the effort you put out and you know yourmotivations, so there must be no room for fear and doubt, only for success andwinning and this year will undoubtedly turn out to be a very satisfying year.

Your Personal Year for 2010 is 9

This is your year to finish up all unfinished business, Bono, to clean house andmake room for new things. On a material level this is a good time to get rid ofunnecessary weight, to give away or sell what you do not need anymore and topay off old debts. On a spiritual level you will experience a different modealtogether. Your attention should turn to others and their needs, find ways to be ofhelp and give time and energy to worthwhile causes. You must lighten yourburden of questions and doubts and the best way to do so is by directing yourattention to another direction, away from yourself and you will find yourselfbecoming 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 dealtwith. Be social and communicative, enjoy music and other arts. Bono, yourcreativity is higher than usual. There can be some difficulties this year due toyour desire to face obstacles and overcome them, decisions have to be takenand courage and strength may be severely tested several times, this is not goingto be an easy year all the time but you will feel relieved and on the brink of apositive breakthrough by the end of this year. This is the end of a nine yearepicycle and will you will feel many times the excitement of a new and promisingera 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 nextepicycle.

PERSONAL MONTHS

Bono, March is a 2 Personal Month in an 8 Personal Year. The monthdemonstrates how you can sometimes make more progress and be moresuccessful by staying in the background than by forcing the issue.

Bono, April is a 3 Personal Month in an 8 Personal Year. The events inspirecreativity and optimism, as well as a need for flexibility and adaptability.Sometimes, the early part of an 8 Personal Year brings financial challenges andproblems. 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 controlfinancial matters too much. Once you stop controlling matters too much, yourspiritual understanding of life really pays off in a practical and applicable way. Last year's opportunities to contemplate and search for insight -- which mayhave seemed unproductive at times -- now prove to be your best defense on thebattle ground of material progress. You are being forced to achieve a balancebetween the spiritual and the material, especially this month. In any case, April will reveal to you how capable you are of doing that. Begenerous but don't waste money. Focus on getting things done, but don't letfinancial reward be your only motivation. Introduce creativity and a playful attitudeto the job at hand. And most important; don't let temporary setbacks ruin yourambition. This is a time to reach out, not to suppress. Romance and relationships continue to be favorable. Social events bring newpeople.

There may well be a great opportunity that comes your way.This opportunity offers all kinds of changes, such as a move of residence (eitherin 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 withroutine affairs and details. You have some catching up to do. You may feelrestless and bored. However, later this month brings the opportunity you havebeen 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 relationshipsare more harmonious.

Page 19


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

Your Personal Month for June 2009 is 5

Bono, June is a 5 Personal Month in an 8 Personal Years. It brings changesand 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, yourexperience will be exciting and adventurous, and quite possibly profitable.However, if you insist stubbornly to stick to your plans and expectations, you willbe disappointed. You are in a position to show your special talents and abilities to people whocan be influential in your career. You are able to think on your feet and your reflexes are sharp. This time isparticularly good for those who are in retail, real estate, or some other businessthat'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 changeyour environment in some way. Romance is very exciting and, if you are single, you will have to hide out tokeep from meeting someone. People gravitate to you and the opposite sex ismore than usually attracted to you.

Your Personal Month for July 2009 is 6

Bono, July is a 6 Personal Month in an 8 Personal Year. It is an excellent timefor business and financial affairs. Respect and recognition for past efforts isfollowed by financial gain or promotion. You are in a position to ask and receivewhat you believe to be your due. However, you may find that you are not asdiplomatic as you might be. This is your most challenging weakness during thismonth. Guard against arrogance. Your responsibilities increase possibly as aresult of a promotion. Family affairs, friendships, and romance also move to the foreground and arerewarding and healing. You will be asked to sacrifice some of your time andenergy to a younger person or someone who is old or sick. You feel closer to thepeople around you and you want to be there for them. Somewhat contradicting to this show of warmth and affection is the lack of tactand sensitivity you may display a number of times during this month. Bono, youmay be too intent on forcing people to see life as you do, rather than allowingthem their own perspectives and their own rates of growth.

Page 20


The later part of this month brings changes that arise from a chance meetingat a social event. This change may be based on a romantic encounter, and mayaffect your living situation. An unexpected travel is also a possibility.

Your Personal Month for August 2009 is 7

Bono, August is a 7 Personal Month in an 8 Personal Year. The emphasischanges from outgoing to inward seeking. You are more serious now andself-reflective. You question the wisdom of some of your decisions and choicesmade during the past ten to twelve months. You keep to yourself, and aregenerally less social. You are engrossed in your work and feel a need to do a better job. Your desirefor perfectionism is strongly enhanced, which results in self-criticism andimpatience with others. At the root of this change in attitude is a spiritual need forclarity and understanding. You want more security, both internally, as well as inyour more worldly roles. Bono, you would do well spending some time alone forcontemplation and meditation. In this respect, August stands out during thisotherwise "material" year. Family and friends take a backseat during this period. There are strongfeelings connected to your relationships with your loved ones, but these areexperienced and expressed more subtly.

Romance becomes more serious. You share mental, spiritual, and emotionalexperiences on the deepest level. There is no room for superficial exchanges.Your relationship with the person you are attracted to intensifies and becomesstronger as a result.

Your Personal Month for September 2009 is 8

Bono, September is an 8 Personal Month in an 8 Personal Year for you. Thisis a month with great potential for your career and finances, especially to increaseyour finances for the long-term.

It is a time to be aggressive and outspoken. Your authority is needed and youwill have to apply yourself one hundred percent. However, there is another side tothis month. You may feel that you have reached the pinnacle of your career, orthat work and other areas of your life have become dull and monotonous. Youmay feel you need a break. You are approaching a time of deep inner change. Several times during yourlife you have reached a point at which you need to break out of a cocoon. Allevolution is gradual, but periodically interrupted by sudden bursts of growth, or

Page 21


change. Bono, you are at a stage in your life when you feel ready for such a change.However, you are not clear about the true nature of this change and, while youmay feel inspired to force some practical changes now, you should approach thiswith care. Avoid impulsive decisions as well as any contractual arrangement thatwould tie you down for a long time. You need to rely on your own strength and feel confident that you have acertain amount of control over your own future. You should relax and let thingsdevelop at their own pace. Social events are highly favorable and there will be ample opportunity for that.

Your Personal Month for October 2009 is 9

Bono, October is a 9 Personal Month in an 8 Personal Year. It marks thebeginning of the end of a certain era in your life. Now you begin to let go of certain expectations you have long held. There is afeeling of emptiness and of "what now?" The time has not yet come to respond tothese feelings in a practical way. Now is the time to begin to become comfortablewith the need to change. The changes contemplated involve both personal andprofessional life. For these reasons, October could become an emotional time. Somemelodrama and role playing is actually a subconscious way for you to test thepeople around you, and the depth of their commitment. You are also testing yourown position towards people, career, environment, spiritual beliefs, and otheraspects of your life. You have, even if you are not aware of it, already begun theprocess of selecting what you want to remain in your life and what you want todiscard. This process, which continues through different stages over the next 2 years,is natural and nothing to be afraid of. You are entering a period of reawakening.This means a letting go of some of the comfort and security that surrounded andprotected you for many years. Start giving some of your energy to a good cause that benefits others.Ultimately, it will benefit you. It takes the spotlight of your doubts and questions,and gives you strength and confidence. For October, practical matters can be handled with ease. It is much better topay off debts than to incur new ones. Completion is favored over new starts. It isa time to tie up loose ends, not so much to begin new projects. It is a time toclean up and prepare for new things coming into your life.

Bono, you are not in the right mood to pay much attention to romance orpersonal relationships of any kind, unless it's to test the strength of therelationship.

Page 22


You may be a little judgmental and self-righteous and will need to guardyourself against this sort of thing.

Your Personal Month for November 2009 is 1

Bono, November is a 1 Personal Month in an 8 Personal Year. It bringsconfidence, independence, and individuality. Now, you are driven to take up newchallenges, tackle new projects, and get a firm grip on your life. You have energyto spare and you use this to inspire and motivate others. You feel that there is nothing you can't deal with. You are ambitious andresult-oriented. You receive an opportunity that will have long-ranging effects onyour life. You are confident, but also a bit stubborn and hardheaded. You aredirect and not as sensitive to other people's feelings as usual. This is a good time for business and finances. It is a time to be decisive andadventurous, not a time to be conservative. Courage and originality are keyingredients needed to take full advantage of this cycle. You are more stable andoutgoing in your personal life, much to the delight of friends and relatives. You are also generous and inspiring, but not in the mood to deal with the pettystuff. You are a little impatient. Romance may prove to be the most challenging aspect of this period. Thechances of meeting someone are good, but your approach may be tooaggressive and lacking in sensitivity. If you are married, or otherwise committed, a small warning: not everyone is onthe high curve of his/her cycle, so be patient.

Your Personal Month for December 2009 is 2

Bono, December is a 2 Personal Month in an 8 Personal Year and shifts thefocus to relationships and all affairs of the heart. Co-workers are demanding, not only in work-related matters, but also inpersonal areas. You may catch some flack, or become involved in conflicts thatdon't appear to have anything to do with you. All your tact and diplomacy areneeded to maintain harmony in the work place. However, you are better equippedto deal with sensitive affairs than usual and you manage to diffuse most of thesepotentially explosive affairs. Pretty much the same experiences await you regarding relationships withrelatives and friends, but here too, you are able to keep the peace. Bono, your intuition and sensitivity are your strongest assets during this month. There is, however, also a need to stand up for yourself. Someone is about toclaim credit which rightly belongs to you. Again, diplomacy and tact are requiredto solve this problem. This is also a good month for negotiation and financial affairs, particularly

Page 23


concerning loans and mortgages. Romance can be powerful, but may cause problems when money is involved.

Your Personal Month for January 2010 is 1

Bono, January is a 1 Personal Month in a 9 Personal Year. It brings progressas well as some turmoil. Your career offers opportunities that should be takenadvantage of, but you may also be wondering if you want to continue on the pathyou have chosen. A change of course may be taking shape. You may want tofocus more on the ideas you had at the beginning of your professional life. Even ifyou do not have a career, a return to the idealistic views you had at an earlier timecannot be avoided now. A similar desire for purity and idealism influences your relationships withfriends and relatives. You find yourself confronting some of the people close toyou. You may decide that some of your relationships are no longer desirable. You experience emotional ups and downs, caused by a need for confirmationof your love on one hand, and a tendency to be critical and judgmental on theother. You are aggressive and emotional at times. This combination may shakethe foundations of many of your relationships. Undoubtedly, some of thesefoundations may crack, but others will prove to be strong and remain undamaged. Financially, this is a time to be extremely careful.

Your Personal Month for February 2010 is 2

Bono, February is a 2 Personal Month in a 9 Personal Year. It awakens you tomany of the underlying factors that influence your career and personal life. Youare highly intuitive; you experience strange and vivid dreams; and you gaininsights that border on psychic premonitions. At the same time, you continue tobe vulnerable in the emotional area. Any kind of criticism can devastate you. Youshould avoid confrontations. You are in a position where you can gainconsiderable understanding of the motivations and desires that influence you, aswell as others. This is an important and valuable time, because you are learning much aboutthe true nature of human beings, including yourself. The challenge here is to seeyourself and others in a spiritual light, with love and forgiveness. Some people who go through this particular cycle experience bitterness andanger. For others, this cycle brings faith and gratitude. For everyone, theimpressions are lasting. Romance is powerful; you see and hear and feel more fully than usual, whichbrings an added intensity to the experience of love.

Page 24



Bono, March is a 3 Personal Month in a 9 Personal Year. It lightens thingsconsiderably. You are not nearly as vulnerable as last month. You are moreplayful. You express yourself easily and you manage to inspire and motivateothers. You receive some positive information about your career and your financialstatus. Meanwhile, you are considering some big changes in these areas of yourlife. You may want to keep your thoughts to yourself, or share them only with oneor two of your most trusted confidants. You are not ready to make decisions ortake steps that are irreversible, but that time will come soon. This is an exciting time, when everything seems more intense, more alive. Youare more creative and communicative. Bono, you should take the time to enjoy yourself. Go on a vacation. Visitfriends. Be social. Give yourself a break. Romance is favorable, but you have to guard against irresponsible andsuperficial behavior.

Your Personal Month for April 2010 is 4

Bono, April is a 4 Personal Month in a 9 Personal Year. It requires hard work,an eye for details, and dependability. Your career is a top priority and requiresmuch of your attention. This is a difficult month with frustrations and a sense ofurgency. Perseverance is the key. There is another feeling that starts moving to the foreground. You feel a littletired, ready to surrender. Your energy level is lower than usual and this makes itharder to keep up with your duties and responsibilities. However, this is not a good time to slow down. It is a time that can bringopportunity and an unexpected insight into a new direction in life. You are at apoint in your life when you feel that you have been stagnant. Change is needed. This month will bring some practical insight and ideas as to how this changecan be accomplished. This is a good time for business ventures and investment.It's also a good time to work on the house and garden. Romance is understated, but emotional stability is hard to maintain. Don'tmake many any big changes or decisions in the emotional realm for now.

Your Personal Month for May 2010 is 5

Bono, May is a 5 Personal Month in a 9 Personal Year and brings manychanges and ideas that start you in a different direction. You are restless and impatient. Your energy is scattered but you are ready tomake a big step forward. A move of residence or a travel will bring inspiration. You are at an important stage in your life where you feel a bit in limbo, but you

Page 25


also know that a change for the better is imminent. You feel excited andconfused at the same time. You do not really understand what is going on, and the motivations that haveguided you for many years now seem outdated. You question your underlyingvalues and desires. You feel a loss of direction. Your best approach is to waitthings out. Do not start any new endeavors unless you are very sure you willfollow through on them. Social events are highly favorable. Bono, you need to be around people. Youneed to be loose and enjoy yourself. As I mentioned earlier, you are goingthrough enormous changes this year and next year, and for that reason,interaction with others is therapeutic. It helps you deal with the turbulence thattakes place inside.

Your Personal Month for June 2010 is 6

Bono, June is a 6 Personal Month in a 9 Personal Year and brings stability,strength, and understanding of yourself and the many roles you play in this life.Some relationships may undergo a test this month.

Relatives and friendsseek your company, but you may respond with aloofness and indifference. An important challenge this month is to be honest and open in yourrelationships. You may tend to bottle-up your feelings. This is a good time for career and finances, even if you feel a lack of interestfor these matters. Romantic relationships are particularly fragile right now.However, if your love-relationship survives this period, you know that it is basedon true substance. It will be stronger and lasting.

You know that the time has come to face up to important decisionsthat will affect your life, as well as the lives of those close to you for a long time tocome. Your fear is based on your indecision and inability to know if what you want todo is right. Your excitement comes from the knowledge that at least something ishappening. In this situation, the key is to choose what feels right. Rely on yourheart and your intuition, and have faith in yourself and your Creator. Bono, your career and finances are not priorities, except when they relate toplans you may have for the future. This is a time to prepare for the long-term, not to reach for immediate rewards.

This takes place in every area of your life; spiritual, emotional, and material.However, this is not a month to make impulsive decisions and starting anythingnew should be postponed until very late this month or next month.

This is not a monthto make important choices or decisions without a lot of careful consideration.Begin this process by taking a critical look at your current state of mind. This is a month of some confusion and self-doubt. More mercurial than usual,you will likely switch from optimism to pessimism, and back again. This is to beexpected when you are right in the middle of a major personality overhaul. January is your first month of a new long-term cycle. Many of the changes youare going through require approximately two years; you have now begun thesecond of those years. Bono, your transformation can be compared to alow-level reformat of your inner hard-disk. When the job is done, much of theinformation is replaced, gaps are closed, and the bugs are ironed out. You canlook forward to a time of greater self-confidence, more energy, and a refreshedand more positive outlook on life.

So, too, is your clarity of mind. You gain confidence in yourabilities and yourself. It's time to move; to make things happen. Do notprocrastinate. Do not avoid work or effort.
