“There are two types of waiting. There’s the the waiting you do for something you know is coming, sooner or later — like waiting for the 6:28 train, or the school bus, or a party where a certain handsome boy might be. And then there’s the waiting for something you don’t know is coming. You don’t even know what it is exactly, but you’re hoping for it. You’re imagining it and living your life for it. That’s the kind of waiting that makes a fist in your heart.”

Numbers – markers for every stage of your life

Mon, 29 Apr 2013 21:02:40 -0400

Life is a journey and everything in life has a cycle -
just as the stars turn through the heavens so do numbers turn through our lives.

Numbers to navigate by:
Like the spokes of a 9-pointed wheel, every number represents a different phase of where we are in the cycle of life, showing us how to navigate it successfully.

Cycles mark the great wheels of life:
There is a cycle for every project, venture and relationship in our life.
The planet earth has cycles lasting thousands of years - we have life cycles lasting decades and lifetimes.
Each cycle can last for days, months, years or lifetimes and runs simultaneously with other cycles.

3 major ways to get value from your numbers:
Every number has its own job to do, showing you how to gain clarity, minimize obstacles and maximize opportunities

You can get specific information from the numbers for:
Properties – business and personal locations:
Names – personal and corporate / professional:
The days, months, years and quarters.

1 new beginnings:

Keywords: creation, vision, genesis:
All new beginnings start with a thought or desire to experience life differently.

The number 1 brings new beginnings, attitudes, new ventures and projects.

We see the new and want to experience it.

2 let’s go:

Keywords: planning and process:
The number 2 is the next step in any cycle. It indicates you are ‘halfway there’, that you have begun the venture in your heart and mind and are ready to take steps to action it.

The number 2 - plans, visions, affirm and check:

Our fears, attitudes and actions determine what stops or grows.

3 efforts and action:

Keywords – inspiration, action, magic:
When the number 3 appears, it shows you how to make your vision a reality - only you can choose to do this, or not.

The energy of 3 – effort and action:

By your efforts, you will succeed.

4 direction and alignment:

Keywords – clarity and confidence:
The number 4 is like the Southern Cross or your personal compass – it shows the right star to follow, the one most suited to you to navigate forward.

The right path is yours when you feel clear, happy and confident about where you are going – even if you do not know exactly how, yet.

Find and follow your own true north.

5 change and movement:

Keywords: adapt, adjust, align:
When the number 5 appears it is about change; how to accept, align with and respond to change wherever you are, whatever the circumstances.

Align with change is empowering and powerful.

6 balance and harmony:

Keywords – attention and responsibility:
The number 6 reminds us to keep the balance – to preserve the 3 wishes of health, wealth and happiness.

Achieve your own balance and harmony:
Keeping balance and harmony in your life is like standing at the middle of a seesaw, moving your energy and attention one way or the other to avoid tipping from one extreme to another.

All life is two sides of the same coin.

7 people and processes:

Keywords – connect and communicate:
The number 7 - now is the right time to be working with, and for others:
To interact, communicate and connect with others and receive the pleasure it brings;
To influence, guide, support and please others in life and business.
All life is relationship.

8 movement and energy:

Keywords – perspective, flow, function:
The number 8 symbolizes the flow of our energy bodies and how they are functioning.

Now is the time to check the health of your body, home, business or career and relationships and make the necessary changes.

A sacred view of your circle of life.

9 fruition and completion:

Keywords – fulfillment and value:
The number 9 brings the final stage at the end of a phase, cycle, project or relationship;
9 marks the completion of different ways of thinking, being and doing.
If this stage of any project, venture or relationship is unfinished or incomplete, you will experience new beginnings as difficult, slow, stalled or never arriving.
