It’s no wonder February holds the special Valentine’s Day and is considered the month of love. February is the second month of the year and the two carries the main traits of intuition and sensitivity and is also the gateway number to the Soul Plane. It’s about feeling this month and emotions will be on the sensitive side. With the relationship-focused year behind us, the theme of 2014 is authenticity and truth. Combining that with the feeling centered energy of February and you get a soulfully self-reflective vibe.

It’s about embracing the REAL you this month. Take the time to pause (so many of us resist being still) and figure this important step out. If you do, you’ll be in much better place to utilize the truth-filled essence of the year.

You’ll be making a great deal of headway inwardly but not much in the way of outer change – just yet. As the month moves closer to wrapping up, you’ll start to feel less physically stalled and bustling with ideas of how you’ll implement the new you.

Calculating Your Number:

To calculate your Life Theme Number, add together each individual digit in your date of birth and then reduce to a single digit, like this:

DOB: 12-18-1975

1+2+1+8+1+9+7+5=34

3+4=7

This date of birth has a Life Theme Number of 7. Follow the same steps to calculate your own essence.

**Note: If the sum equates to 10, 11, 22 or 33, stop there. Don’t reduce these numbers further as they are called the Master Numbers and should be displayed in their unreduced form. They are guiding frequencies which carry a greater responsibility to mankind in terms of their life purpose.

Individual Life Theme Number Forecast for February:

2: Carrying the same vibration as the month’s energy, you’ll be feeling extra emotionally sensitive but also extra intuitively tuned in. Your psychic feelers will be picking up much smaller, more subtle (and important) details this month. You’ll be navigating the path with expert precision, figuring things out at a rapid pace. Of all the Life Theme Numbers, you’ll be on top of this authenticity wave and discovering who you truly are and want to create going forward. It’s best to steer clear of anyone who is negative or emotionally charged in a less than positive way (drama queens, negative vampires, etc). They will only cloud your clarity and you’re on fire this month with your intuitive hits – use it to your advantage for a change. Even though you’ll be feeling rather vulnerable with emotions being extra sensitive, resist the urge to become co-dependent in your close relationships right now. Retreat to keep your intuition clear and flowing. If you follow this guideline, lots of ah-ha moments will follow.

3: As the number of imagination and memory as well as the social butterfly number, a super-sensitive feeling month can be a little tough to endure for the three. You might have your moments of feeling jittery or on-edge as your mind tries to logically think its way through the river of emotions surfacing this month. Resist the urge to rationalize your emotions. This is your moment to step down from the mind for a change and go with how you feel rather than what you think. You’re discovering the most authentic version of yourself and it can’t be done through thinking alone. Be especially aware in social situations this month because you’ll find you might be curt with or overly critical of others with emotions on the sensitive side. February will be a challenging month for the three but you’re up for it. You’re more intuitive than you give yourself credit for.

4: The four is the “doer” of the Life Theme Numbers. They’re the practical, organizational foundation builders. The feeling realm isn’t necessarily their go-to place as they would rather do first and think/feel second. The realm of the heart/emotions doesn’t follow the logic of the mind so a highly charged feeling month can make the four feel out of their element and out of sorts. The beginning of this month might have you feeling like a fish out of water but you’ll be pleasantly surprised at the many moments you’ll catch yourself leaving the world of logic and reason and floating in the space of intuition. The best part about being a four is that when inspiration hits, you’ve got the physical energy to bring it to fruition in a hurry.

5: The five is next to the two on the birth chart and is the second most sensitive Soul Plane Number. Five is the number of the heart/emotions and when a five is in the midst of two energy, it isn’t too shabby at navigating the emotional waters. This month’s energy will have you keenly aware of your emotional self and less likely to react in emotionally charged situations. You’re in introvert mode right now, something the freedom of expression number isn’t necessary used to but you’re enjoying this solitude after the fast-paced experiences in January. As the month progresses, you’ll find that you’re making headway in the realm of relationships but it might be a one-sided situation for now. With your emotions attuned front and center but more in observation mode, you’ll start to see clearly the meaning and purpose behind the closer relationships in your life. You won’t necessarily take any action in changing those relationships until the intellectual energy of March (3) comes closer but the clarity you receive this month will get your mind churning in the right direction. Overall, expect to feel cool, calm and collected this month–something you haven’t felt in a while.

6: The six is the number of extremes with a strong positive and negative side. When you’re up, you’re up but when you’re down, you can go all the way down. Sixes are prone to self-sabotage and being critical of themselves and others (pessimistic). The key for the six is to always constantly be creating in some form (six is the number of creativity). When you’re not doing that, you end up in the negative vortex, spinning round and round. Under a two energy this month, it is self-reflective and subdued energy in terms of physical expression. It’s not a big outer action month and for the six (if they’re not conscious of it) it can spell trouble. One thing the six leans toward is creating “what-if” scenarios and vividly living them out in their mind. With emotions on the sensitive side this month, you could find yourself feeling more than a little anxious. Resist the temptation to put too much thought into how you’re feeling right now. Go with the flow as much as possible and more than ever, be sure to surround yourself with positive, people, places and things. As the nesting energy, you’re feeling more lovey-dovey this month but be cautious not to breach the line into co-dependent mode where you become judgmental, critical and narrow-minded instead of the broad-sighted nurturing visionary that you are.

7: The seven is no stranger to isolation for the sake of contemplation but this month you could take it overboard and become a hermit. The sevens are normally the “leap before thinking” Life Theme Number but under a subdued, low physically focused month, you’re head-first into the flip-side of the seven energy: Self-reflection and research mode. You’ll find this month you’re drawn to read more, research on the internet, watch some meaningful television or movies – all in search of answers. You’re using the sensitive and intuitive energy to map out your next phase. Relationship connections and your social life in general might take a hit this month because you’ll be way off the radar. That’s ok for now though as you’ve got your lesson plan laid out for you this month. You’re on a mission and need to go into your cave for some serious brainstorming.

8: As the number of wisdom, the eight is referred to as the knowledge bearer but this month you won’t be feeling as confident in your wisdom. You might find yourself grumpy and edgy at times because your stream of wisdom and knowledge has got a bit of static in the lines. You’re feeling off your game and discombobulated. You’ll likely find yourself switching back and forth frequently this month from wanting to fly solo to the desire to be in the company of others. Others may not get your all over the place behavior but you’re not overly concerned right now. You’re like a cat being rubbed the wrong way and frankly, you can’t wait for February to be over. In work and personal relationships, you could snap or lash out easily so be extra careful and mindful of what you say before you say it. You have less than enough patience for others this month. As March approaches, your sense of balance and equilibrium will return and your flow of wisdom will be gushing again. Be patient with yourself and use this disconnected time as a period of recharge.

9: Surprisingly, as the most active mental number, you’re rather enjoying this highly emotionally charged month for a change. You’re embracing the love mode and gushing on others close to you. Your humanitarian charm is shining bright and you’re extra patient and helpful. If you find yourself whistling a happy tune while you walk or smiling at a stranger, relish the moment and breathe it in. You can be overly serious with your black and white, right and wrong outlook so this is a refreshing change of pace for you. February’s energy has you feeling as though the world is your oyster and anything is possible. The focus of your month is relationships but not starting, ending or changing them. It’s simply about enjoying the meaningful time you spend with those you care about. This deepening of the important connections in your life will bring you a sense of equilibrium to help you stay focused during the high change spring months ahead. You’re all about selfless service but you can’t keep giving until the well is dry. You’ll end the month with a feeling as though your emotional and spiritual belly is pleasantly full.

10/1: After the one energy of January, February’s soulful two energy feels like it’s hit you like a ton of bricks. It may take you the first week or so to slow down enough to begin enjoying the lighter flow and slower pace of the month’s energy. Thankfully you’re the number of adaptability and most ten’s can be like cats in the sunshine if they want to be. It’s just going to take you a minute to adapt because going from January to February is like oil and water. Once you do, you’ll be happily fitting in as many downtime moments as you can. You won’t be feeling overly ambitious this month and that dream vacation keeps popping into your head at work. You’re also not taking much seriously right now and that includes relationships. You’ll take an “it is what it is” approach and let things slide for now. As for contemplation or self-reflection this month, you really just feel like being “offline” to chill for a bit. Take a road trip to a fun destination or buy yourself something that makes you feel good and don’t feel guilty about not accomplishing much in the next few weeks.

11/2: Pivotal could be a word to describe your month. You’ve got a double whammy two energy (you are a two at the base and February is the second month) going on and it’s calling you to be on the spiritual mountain, looking back to where you’ve gone and looking ahead to where you want to go next. You’re making some major inner decisions this month about who, what, where and why. It’s happening at a rapid pass too, leaving you feeling a little breathless from the high speed shifting. Of all the Life Theme Numbers, you’ll walk away with the most clarity this month. There’s no time for relationship drama when you’re in such serious inner change mode. More so than relationships, your soul searching is more about your path and purpose right now as you’re feeling a call to your post. Let the revelations and epiphanies hit you as they come and don’t worry about the break-neck speed at which you seem to be climbing that spiritual mountain. You won’t slip or fall because it’s your time to figure things out.

22/4: Whenever two and four energies collide, you get what could be referred to as “practical spirituality”. It is a realm where intuition leads action, as it should be. For the twenty-two four in the second month, it can be one of the few Life Theme Numbers that experiences both inner and outer action. Typically a two month is self-reflective and not big on action but your energy as the four at the base gives wings to the sensitive two. You have a knack for translating the intuitive hits into plans of action and implementing them. This month you’ll actually see more outward progress than you did in the pioneering new beginnings energy of January. Career-wise, you’re pumping out ideas and solutions, being the Master Builder you were born to be. Relationship-wise, you’re seeing things for what they really are and taking practical steps to improve the situation. February you’re on the ball and in your element.

33/6: One of the greatest challenges of the thirty-three six is self-doubt and self-criticism. This month you’re feeling particularly vulnerable to and affected by the critics from those around you. In both love and career you’ll be shaky in your confidence and abilities. Like the six Life Theme Number, it’s critical to avoid negative people, places and things this month. Your main focus should be on self-nurturing in February. Carve out as much “me time” as possible. Take relaxing walks, soothing bubble baths or treat yourself to some retail therapy that will help you feel like you’re worth it. Now more than ever you need to be conscious of when you go into autopilot with your insecure thoughts and feelings. Keep in the forefront that you are the Master Teacher, the one who has limitless potential for success. You won’t really take any big steps forward in your master plans or goals over the next few weeks but that’s ok. You’re not meant to right now. It’s crucial to your success to feel like you have something worthy to share with the world. Without that, you become your own greatest enemy and become the self-sabotager.

Time to Step into Your Personal Power

written by Michelle Arbeau

As the first month of the year, January is typically when we desire to start anew but this year is particularly oozing with fresh start energy. 2014 is a 7 year, the number of truth and authenticity. It will be a big year of stepping into our personal power and owning who we truly are.

The relationship challenges that plagued many of us for most of last year will start to see resolution as the situations are put under the microscope of truth. We’ve got the urge to get raw and real with things. It’s time to face it head on and be honest with ourselves about what we want and don’t want. A side effect of living in the flow of truth is that we can no longer tolerate anything that doesn’t resonate with us. There is a natural inclination to move away from the people, places and things that don’t feel authentic.

This is the year to be YOU on all levels. We’re under a double whammy physical energy as well with 1 (January) being the first physical number governing communication and 7 (global year number) as the most active number on the physical plane. Many of us will hit the ground running in 2014 and globally, we’ll start to see the wheels of progress turning again. With the theme of truth underlying our actions this year, solutions to some of the world’s crisis situations (like the financial crisis) will become apparent. Plus, they’ll be lots of active “doing” energy floating around to get the job done.

Calculating Your Number:

To calculate your Life Theme Number, add together each individual digit in your date of birth and then reduce to a single digit, like this:

DOB: 12-18-1975

1+2+1+8+1+9+7+5=34

3+4=7

This date of birth has a Life Theme Number of 7. Follow the same steps to calculate your own essence.

Individual Life Theme Number Forecast for January:

2: As the most sensitive number, you’re really feeling the rush of the raw and real truth energy of 2014 coupled with the new beginnings vibe of January. The challenge is that you’ll be hesitant for the first half of the month to take outer action even though you want to. You take a bit longer to warm up to an overabundance of physical “doing” energy because your nature is emotional or soulful based. You’ll be focused on cleaning up the relationship challenges first, then moving on to more of a career-focused mode the second half of the month. Although not your normal approach, you’ll be very strategic this month in both your thinking and actions. You’ll make a lot of headway in terms of clearing out the old. You’re going to be making your list and ticking it off swiftly and efficiently. Expect to wipe the slate clean to start a new plan of action.

3: Whenever there’s an abundance of physical energy the 3 gets antsy and impatient, wanting to bring through all their great ideas as the number of imagination and inspiration. If you can imagine a talkative person speaking a mile a minute, that’s what the brain of a 3 looks like when there’s a physical gateway to challenge their thoughts. The great thing about being a 3 is that you’re the outgoing, social butterfly mind plane number who usually isn’t afraid to express and implement their ideas. You’ll be in high demand this month in both personal and professional situations. You’re the go-to person because the energy of the month is pushing others to seek out solutions to ongoing challenges. Who better than the intelligent 3? Relationships are off the radar for the most part until next month since the focus will be on idea generation and implementation for the 3 in January.

4: You’re the missing element to complete the physical plane energies this month. 1, 4 and 7 are the physical numbers and we have January with its 1 energy and the global year is a 7. As the “doer”, you’re really feeling restless and want to get going after spending December in more of a consolidation mode. January is going to bring a huge restructuring and rebuilding of your foundation. A 180 degree shift in direction on many levels but you’re ready and it’s time. You know just what you want and you’re ready to create it. The 4 isn’t afraid of hard work although impatience can be a hindrance at times. With all three physical plane energies highlighted, it’s all about outer action for you this month. You’ll end January feeling satisfied with how much you’ve accomplished. There is a big highlight on shifting out old relationship connections which no longer serve you. Career wise, you’re on a roll in terms of bringing your vision to life. You’re unstoppable physical “action” energy right now.

5: As the freedom of expression number, the 5 starts to flap its wings as soon as there is a strong infusion of physical energy in the air. This year, the 5’s will get off to a running start, spreading their wings to fly. As the middle feeling number, it’s not necessarily your nature to leap before thinking (or feeling) but this month you’re bursting with giddy-up juice. You’ve been feeling the buildup of momentum for the past couple of weeks as the old year’s energy started to fade out, being replaced by the high velocity physical charge. The 5 is the “career” number and you’ll be really hyper-focused on career in January with a one-track mind. Relationships won’t really even be on the radar until February because you’re in love with life right now on other levels. You’ll be the inspirationalist this month for others in your life because your enthusiasm and go-getter attitude are contagious. Health-wise, you’ll never have felt better – you’re alive with life.

6: You’re the idea generator as the number of creativity and creative expression but when that creative juice has a strong physical outlet, you’re an unstoppable creative genius. You’re the leader of the pack or the “delegator” this month as others will look to you for guidance and direction, putting your visionary skills to good use this January. Sometimes you can be the worry-wart, over-thinking and over-analyzing everything but not this month. You’ve got everything under control and you know which direction you’re headed (and can pinpoint it for others too). You’re strong, steadfast and charging ahead with your master plans. In this month of “new beginnings” you’re implementing everything you’ve been mulling over the past several months – the timing feels just right and you’re sure of it. The relationship challenges you’ve faced in 2013 are have mostly been resolved and the remainder are being shelved for the moment because it’s all about you for the next several weeks. That’s a switch from your nurturing nature but if we can’t take care of ourselves, we’re not able to be the best we can be for others in our lives. Utilize the air of confidence and assuredness that is coming from the surge of grounded physical energy to do what is right for you right now.

7: You’re feeling comfortably at home in all this physical energy. You’re on your game big time. The 7 has two distinct (and often polar opposite) sides – the physical side “leap before thinking” side and the deep, philosophical thinking side. January 2014 is all about getting it done on a physical level but it’s never been easier for you than it is right now. For those 7’s that have had their fair share of hindsight learning, it’s not about that this month. The global year’s energy of the 7 matching your own creates a super-charged truth-finding magnet so you’ll be attracting only what you want right now. Instead of your usual “live and learn” method of gaining personal experience you have an uncanny ability to navigate life with expert precision for the next several weeks. It’s as though you can’t make a mistake and you know it. Every area of your life will see a smoothness that has been lacking for most of 2013. So what are you waiting for? Leap little 7, leap!

8: If there’s one thing an 8 could be known for, it’s confident energy (whether they feel it consciously or not). Under the influence of an abundance of physical energy, the 8 is stepping forward without hesitation this January. With a phenomenal mind for business and structure, the 8 is building foundation this month, steering the helm with the precision of a seasoned sailor in the realm of career. On the relationship front, you’ve got a no-bull attitude and the things you put up with for the latter part of 2013, you can no longer tolerate. It’s time for you to break free from those connections that no longer serve you. Of all the Life Theme numbers, you’re turning over a new leaf in the biggest way this year. You’re determined and stepping into the natural wise one you were born to be. A key element this month is that you’ll want to shed things on all levels in a massive way (literally and figuratively). Don’t hold back because you’re clearing the runway to bring in the new. It’s all about transformation right now.

9: With the huge helping of physical energy enveloping you this month, it might have you starting the year feeling a little apprehensive and uncertain and but by the end of January, you’ll be back to your big dreamer self. As the most active mental number, you’re often strategic and methodical in your thinking patterns (black/white, right/wrong thinking). However, the action-seeking 1 energy of January combined with the most active “leap before thinking” physical number 7 (global year energy) has you putting on the brakes initially. 9’s frequently need to work into high change energy by first using it to make a plan of action from a mental perspective. Once they do that, it’s game on. Expect to be the observer for at least the first few weeks of the New Year, taking in all the whirlwind change energy, utilizing it to formulate your master plan. After it’s complete, you’ll be more than ready to roll it out.

10/1: Like the 7, the 10 has a dualistic side with one end being very physical (1) while the other spiritual (0). In their younger years, the 10 tends to gravitate toward the more physical side of life while the more mature 10 steps into the mentoring “Earth Guide” energy that is their true nature (combining the energies of heaven and earth with 1 and zero). This year, particularly from the start of the New Year until the end of spring, you’ll be in full mentoring mode. It is as though the 10 is being called to their post this January and you can feel the call in a huge way. Many of us are charged up but the physical pulse of both the new beginnings number 1 month and global year carrying the “doing” energy of the most active physical number 7. The trouble is, a good number of us are struggling with how to exactly use all this action energy. That’s where the mentoring 10 steps in to lead us through casual conversation. The 10’s are the old souls this month, giving advice and guidance wherever they go. Interestingly enough, as the first physical number, you won’t see much outer action this month (at least for the first 2 weeks of the month). Your time will be spent doling out your wisdom to even random strangers like the cashier who spills their life story to you in out of the blue. You’re in your element verbally helping others because you love to share what you know. It’s your makeup and you’ll feel content even if there’s no big action for you just yet. It’s all about communication for you this month and that goes for relationships. You’ll make some headway this month on those relationship challenges that seemed to be at a standstill. Health-wise, be careful to eat lots of greens for the next several weeks because your energy will be challenged with so much mentoring going on. You’ll pick up a great deal of energetic debris from others so you need to keep your energy light and airy. Typically, the recommendation is to eat grounding foods but for the 10 who likes to keep life “light and fun”, it’s crucial for you to eat light to keep your energy fresh and unhindered.

11/2: The 11/2 will get a slow start with the physical energy this month but that’s ok. You’re right where you need to be. Your hard work in the area of self-reflection during the latter part of 2013 will be coming to completion as you bring things together in your head and heart. It will be a quiet couple of weeks during the first part of January and you may feel like you’re the tortoise in the Tortoise and the Hair. You’re natural inclination is to be the self-reflective spiritual guide so don’t feel bad that you’re not in full-on active mode like many of the other Life Theme Numbers. You deal with things from the inside out but once you figure it out, you’re a creative force that can manifest pretty much anything you desire. Knowing this, you can understand how important your quiet time is to both yourself and those around you. It’s been a rough six months for the 11/2 and this is your time to take a breath before you take your next steps. If you’re feeling the need to retreat still, respect that and go with it. It won’t be long before you’re back in the saddle and you’ll be glad you took the time to pull things together on the unseen level first.

22/4: Building foundation is your central focus this month. You’ve felt anything but grounded for the most part of 2013 and it’s a great feeling to be regaining your sense of stability. Although you’ve been lacking a feeling of solidity, your strong intuitive nature knows it was meant to be that way to allow you to work through some of the restructuring and reorganizing that was necessary in 2013. The arena of relationships was a central focus for you last year but not so much this year. It’s time to pick up the pieces but in a positive way. The dust has settled and you know where you stand. It’s up to you to use your strength of intuition to move forward in the right direction. Career won’t be a highlight until matters of the heart are fully resolved by the end of February. March and April will be the start of your ‘action” months. January is a pivotal month for you to lay the bricks to build your next phase in a brand new way.

33/6: All this physical energy has you feeling a bit jittery but excited at the same time. Your apprehension should subside by the end of the second week of January when you’ll be flying high, seeing clearly through your eagle’s eye view as the visionary 6. There is a bit of a “selfish” energy in the air for most of the Life Theme Numbers this month and you’re no different. It’s a vibe that wants you to care for you as a means to prepare you for the physical based action year ahead. Your motherly nurturing mode will be in full swing over the next several weeks, both for yourself and others. Take time for long baths and walks alone to contemplate. Don’t feel guilty about taking plenty of time to bask in your own energy. It’s important at the moment for you to take this time. You tend to take care of everyone else but yourself and your well is running dry. You’ll never survive this very physical based year upcoming without a recharge month. January is your month to recharge and use your visionary skills to map out your blueprint for the year. The rocky relationship situation is coming to an end and the last relationship challenge to resolve or (at least come to terms with) is the one you have with yourself. Lay low with lots of quiet, still time until closer to February. The theme of January 2014 for you is “Self-Nurture”.

December 2013 – Ending the Year with the Whole and Complete Number

written by Michelle Arbeau

December being the twelfth and final month of the year, it’s a perfect time to tie up loose ends and bring everything together. Twelve is called the whole and complete number and when reduced (1+2=3) forms three, the number of unity. Combined, this energy (12/3) brings a swift current of unification and a feeling that everything is coming together.

2013 has had the theme of relationship shifting and for many of us who have been touched in some form in this arena we’re finally feeling like things are starting to make sense.

Although the last month of the year is typically a time when we slow down and take a breather to prepare for the next year’s goals, this December marks a significant time to end the old and await the new. Adding the month’s energy (12) with the year’s (2013), you get 9, the highest number of change symbolizing the end of a cycle.

Next year will be a 7 frequency (2+0+1+4) which is the number of truth or the truth-seeker/truth-revealer. Upcoming is a year of authenticity and stepping into our personal power in a big way. It’s a perfect time to pause and gather our thoughts on the past two years of clearing/cleansing.

We’re connecting the dots and integrating the year’s (or two years) experiences this Holiday Season. Enjoy the feeling of everything coming full circle. You’ve earned it.

Calculating Your Number:

To calculate your Life Theme Number, add together each individual digit in your date of birth and then reduce to a single digit, like this:

DOB: 12-18-1975

1+2+1+8+1+9+7+5=34

3+4=7

This date of birth has a Life Theme Number of 7. Follow the same steps to calculate your own essence.

Individual Life Theme Number Forecast for December:

2: The past two years have been particularly challenging for the 2 because it’s the number of intuition and the most sensitive of the soul plane numbers. All the inner emotional shifting last year and the relationship changes this year has left the 2 struggle to keep their head afloat the turbulent waters. Thankfully this month has brought a calmer flow to the stormy sea. You’re feeling more confident, less like a leaf blowing in the wind and better able to get a handle on your sensitive emotions. Although you’re a soul-based number, December reduces to the 3 (first mental number) so you’ll spend the month contemplating and integrating your experiences this year more on an intellectual level. No doubt because you’re a feeler, you’ll have a great deal of emotion behind those thoughts. You’ll pack a powerful punch to those positive thoughts, getting a head start on manifesting those New Year’s goals. This month is all about taking some down time for you. Set aside the draw to want to be the support for others. It’s your time to rest and rejuvenate.

3: This is your month! A three in a base number 3 month is like a kid in a candy store. You’re feeling foot-loose and fancy free, ready to work on generating next year’s new ideas and projects. Your mind is going a mile a minute with concepts popping out of nowhere. You’re the intellectual so the 3 energy is your time to be in the zone. There may be times when you’re overanalyzing or over-thinking things because of the double 3 energy but for the most part, you’ll feel like you’re accomplishing a lot this month on an intellectual level. It will also be a month where you’ll feel particularly like the social butterfly that is your true nature. You’ll be the highlight of the office Christmas party because you’re on your game mentally for the Holidays.

4: The four is all about practicality so you’ll be in “To-Do List” mode. You’ll be making your list and checking it twice when it comes to planning out your next steps for the months ahead. You’ve definitely got your grounded and practical doer hat on this month as you strive to consolidate all your tidbits into a logical plan of action. It’s as though you’re preparing your catapult, preparing to leap into action in the coming months. You may feel the need to withdraw as you contemplate your master plan. That’s ok but do take the time to let your hair down intermittently. You can become overly serious this month and that’s when you get too structured and boxed in. Your loyal nature can stick you too much to course, not allowing for differences or changes in circumstances. Take time away from your mission to have a little fun and waste some time (something you don’t normally like to do). Not everything you do has to be on the list.

5: The social nature of the 3 this month has you feel a little reckless as the freedom of expression number. You’re torn because you feel the structure of wanting to cross your T’s and dot I’s under such intellectual energy (3 is the first mental plane number) but you’d rather save that for another day at the moment. The 3 energy this month might be a little too mental-based for the erratic 5. It very well could be January before you get your act together in terms of connecting the dots and setting off on the right foot. That’s ok because part of allowing things to come together or connect the dots is to allow it to happen in its own time. You’ll feel a bit discombobulated this month but let it be what it is. You’ve never done anything by the book so why start now. Let the pieces come together when they’re supposed to. Just know that the sorting process has started this month. Avoid starting or ending relationships this month as your emotions will be blocked and decision making skills will be a tad off.

6: You’re in motherly nurturing mode this Holiday Season. It’s in your nature to be in nesting mode while under a unifying 3 energy. You’re all up in your head (which is your typical overanalyzing behavior) this month but it’s going to get you somewhere. You’re the visionary who sees things from a grander perspective so you’ll be able to help others bring things together this month. It will be easier to fight the desire to dip into the negative side of the six for the next couple of weeks (pessimism, criticism, worry-wart syndrome). You’ll be a delight to be around for the Holidays taking on an air of the social butterfly 3 energy. Your brighter than normal outlook will help you to rapidly manifest some of the goals you’ve been struggling with this year. Relationship struggles that may have been plaguing you the past several months will seemingly melt away for the time being. You’ll find that your chipper outlook is catching. Spread that positivity around while it’s plentiful.

7: The 7 values their alone time to rest and rejuvenate. If you’ve got an issue to deal with, you retreat to process and integrate it. December is just that for you – a retreat month. Take the pause and utilize your philosophical and scientific nature to figure things out from a mental perspective. It’s time to gain clarity of some of the “leap before thinking” decisions you’ve made this year, especially in the realm of relationships. You’ve been torn between wanting to settle down and the desire to be free this year and it’s made you a tad irritable at times. The upcoming global year (2014) will be a 7 also so you’ll be hit with a double dose of your own energy. It could sway wildly when you’re under the same frequency as your own. For some 7’s, they’ll hit the ground running on goals while others will spend the early portion of the year in self-reflection mode, wanting to be still in order to contemplate the next steps. One bonus is that the relationship challenges will mostly end with 2013 and career (or contemplation of it) will be a strong focus for the coming months.

8: The 8 (as the number of wisdom) knows what to say, when to say it and how to say it. Under the sunny, bright, social butterfly 3 energy this month, the 8 is feeling a break in the relationship connection challenges. You’re suave and on the ball when it comes to social communication skills this month. Your confident energy is back and you’re feeling on top again. The year’s discombobulated energy is starting to flow in the right direction again. Usually you know almost instinctually how to navigate life but your compass has been malfunctioning for the better part of the year. It feels good to have it pointing you in the right direction again. Enjoy this new-found sense of balance. Although you might have enjoyed the break in having everyone seek your advice for the past several months, trust that they’ll be knocking at your door once again. You’re back baby!

9: It’s been a tough year for the black and white, justice-seeking 9. The global year being a 6 has meant that the negative aspects of criticism, pessimism and worry-wart syndrome have aggravated your own tendencies to dip into these same qualities. 6 and 9 are side by side on the chart and share many of the same qualities. You’re feeling frazzled this month with the combination of the Holidays and the mental 3 energy of December. You’ve spent a good part of the year helping others navigate their own relationship struggles, neglecting your own. It’s all coming full circle this month in the energy of the 12/3, the whole and complete number. Your relationship issues that have been shelved are now coming front and center. It’s a month of relationship shifting for you big time. Anything you’ve put off throughout the year is rearing it’s head in the next several weeks. That’s a good thing though. You can tie up all your loose ends before the New Year begins.

10/1: You’re a month early in terms of wanting to implement your New Year’s resolutions but that’s ok. This month will be an idea generating time when you’ll be “downloading” ideas left right and center. You’re the pioneer, the trailblazer and the mental energy this month will have you wanting to put your ideas into action in a big way. Relationships will be the furthest thing from your mind because it’s all about your drive to succeed right now. It’s a refreshing change of pace from the relationship challenges in the summer and fall months. It’s all about you now and that’s the way it will be for the next couple of months. It’s time to put your goals into action. You’re getting a running start on the New Year and it’s a win-win to combine such powerful mental energy (3) with the first physical number (1). Bringing your ideas to life has never been easier. Go for it!

11/2: It has been a strange year for the 11/2. As much as it’s been a “spiritual mountain” year, it has also been a year of external progress. As the power number, the 11 is always striving for a global purpose in all they do. This year is no different. Publishing endeavors are particularly front and center as the 3 energy of December encourages intellectual pursuits. 11’s are highly creative creatures and often writing is a skill they possess because they’re typically better at communicating non-verbally. If you feel the call to journal, blog or write that book you’ve been thinking about starting, get to it this month. You’ll find others will be particularly drawn to you this month for guidance and counsel because you’re more in-tune with your spiritual side this month. It’s a non-verbal month where you’ve better off expressing yourself in writing if you want to be understood. As the spiritual guide, you’ll always attract others seeking guidance but that can fluctuate. You’re definitely the spiritual guide this month and don’t be surprised if even a random cashier spills her life story to you.

22/4: Consolidation is the name of the game this month. You’re the practical one and under a whole and complete month of 12/3, you’re in full-on “To-Do List” mode. It’s a time to make your list and check it twice this Holiday Season. If you feel the need to purge, that’s a good sign. All the things you’ve been working through this year will be brought front and center to face judgment day. Relationships, career choices, financial concerns, the whole nine yards will be under the microscope. Consider it a time of taking inventory of what you have and what you want going forward. As the “doer”, you’ll have your energy focused on cleaning house this month before you enter the action-packed 1 energy of January (first physical plane number). Those around you, especially intimate partners and coworkers will feel your overly structured overtone this month. It might border on military form but that’s ok. It’s necessary for you to shed the excess baggage to move forward.

33/6: If anyone has felt the relationship earthquake, it’s the 33/6. The global year matches your 6 energy so it’s been a very heavy focus on relationship shifting, with a particular highlight on finalizing old connections and patterns (closing them out). You’ve always been the glue that holds the family unit together and this month is certainly the time for you to let that quality shine. You’re the dot connector, the Master Teacher in the whole and complete month of 12/3. Countless people have come to you for advice and counsel this month and it will continue until early January. You are coming to terms on an intellectual and emotional level with some very important relationship connections. Aside from that, it has been a very creative year for you, with lots of ideas generated daily (although not many have been put into action yet). Essentially, all this relationship clearing is paving the way to allow you to embrace your “Teacher” energy next year as the truth-seeker/truth-revealer energy comes into full effect. As soon as 2014 chimes in, you’ll be feeling the urge to share your wisdom and information with others. In the mean time, tie up loose ends with the relationship challenges that are still lingering. That’s your homework for December.

November 2013: The Power Month

written by Michelle Arbeau

The eleventh month comes with a double-edged sword. Comprised of ones, the pioneering number of new beginnings, it can be a highly creative and active month. However, eleven reduces to the base number of two which is the sensitive, intuitive and self-reflective energy. This makes November one of the most versatile months of the year in terms bringing opportunities for both inner and outer change.

Your Life Theme Number will dictate whether you utilize the month’s energy inwardly or outwardly. Those with a physical or mental-based energy will be more inclined to be in creative mode, wanting to take advantage of the fall winds of change blowing through. The more feeling Life Theme Numbers will be leaning toward less action more self-reflection but on a more powerful and transformational level compared to other reflective months.

Either way, the number eleven is the highest spiritual number and considered the spiritual guide energy so it’s a profound energy that brings great change however you use it. Next month will be the twelfth energy of the year and twelve is considered the whole and complete number when everything comes together. The pivotal changes you make this month (inner and/or outer) might not make complete sense until next month, but that’s perfectly normal. Eleven, as a Life Theme number, is the most chaotic. Those carrying this energy tend to be way off base frequently in terms recognizing their life path and the direction to take. Therefore, any cycle of eleven often carries this seemingly haphazard energetic pattern but there is a method to the madness.

Eleven is one of the most powerful energies and is considered a Master Number. The Master Numbers are broad and carry a greater responsibility to mankind in terms of the scope of the use of the energy. The often chaotic energies of the eleven is meant to stir great soulful and physical change that stretches far and wide. Many leaders carry the eleven frequency as it is meant to be a guiding energy. For example, Obama and his wife Michelle are both the eleven Life Theme Number.

Get ready for great change as the power month comes in like a lion. Use it wisely as it can surely help you achieve greatness in many forms or it can cause a storm of turbulence like no other energy can. The secret to navigating the eleven is to only take action after mindful and soulful contemplation.

Calculating Your Number:

To calculate your Life Theme Number, add together each individual digit in your date of birth and then reduce to a single digit, like this:

DOB: 12-18-1975

1+2+1+8+1+9+7+5=34

3+4=7

This date of birth has a Life Theme Number of 7. Follow the same steps to calculate your own essence.

Individual Life Theme Number Forecast for November:

2: The eleven reduces to the single two (number of intuition/sensitivity) so you’ll certainly be feeling the more self-reflective side of November’s energy. Expect your mind to be elsewhere as you sit on the spiritual mountain pondering how far you’ve come and where you want to go next. It will be a month of low outer action but there will be much bubbling beneath the surface that will take shape next month. Don’t be discouraged with the lack of outer change because you’ll end up being further ahead than some of the physical numbers who seem to be hitting the ground running this month. You’ve got a knack for going within and making major headway and this is your month to show just how talented you are with the smaller details that make all the difference. They say behind every great leader is a two and you’ll definitely be that detail-oriented two this month.

3: As the most creative of the mental numbers, threes will certainly be feeling powerful and strong in their intellectual abilities this month. The Life Theme Number three is always a creative force to be reckoned with but when a physical-based number is thrown in the mix, creativity gains wings to fly. If you’re a three, you’re in the zone like no other month. You’re on a roll with your ideas and they will continue to flow faster than you can process them. Be sure to have a pen and notepad handy so you can jot down the genius flowing through you. The best part is that the connection of mind to physical is a complete circuit for you this month so you’ll easily be able to put into action those brilliant epiphanies. On the flip side, since November is an eleven and considered a power number, you’ll be in your element as the social butterfly, wanting to let down your hair and have some fun.

4: Like the mental numbers, the physical based numbers (such as the practical and foundational four) are revved up and ready to hit the ground running. Sometimes the eleven can be erratic and chaotic so the fours will be bringing some much needed practicality to both themselves and others around them. Fours will harness and focus the powerful manifestation power of the eleven, putting it to use in a big way. This month you’ll see leaps and bounds in outer progress and many of the pokers you’ve had in the fire will begin to materialize in the physical sense. Career is a highlight this month and you’ll definitely be wearing the leader hat for the next several weeks. Others will seek out your guidance and support as they feel your extra strength and stamina you’ve got going on. You’re the anchor or rock for those around you but be careful not to let yourself get bogged down by becoming counselor to all that cross your path. You need to save this burst of endurance for achievement of some long-standing desires and goals. Your energy is reminiscent of a horse this month – strong, powerful and hard-working.

5: You might just find yourself in a bit of an emotional cyclone this month as the erratic (and sometimes unbalanced) eleven pulls you this way and that in terms of self-reflection. Normally you feel at home in erratic energy as the number of freedom of expression but this month is difference as it takes you deeper inside yourself than you’ve been in a long while. Relationships are front and center right now as you sit on the spiritual mountain contemplating your role in them. The next two months will be low on action and high on gaining a greater perspective for the New Year. It will be an unusually quiet time in terms of achievement but don’t take that as a sign of failure in the least. Energy has an ebb and flow meaning we can’t always charge full steam ahead. There are times when we need to consolidate and integrate in order to make our next move.

6: Your nurturing visionary energy is surfacing this month as you feel called to help others find their way in the chaotic power of the eleven energy. You naturally connect the dots for others, being able to see the bigger picture as the creative visionary number. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself in situations where others are randomly asking for your advice, such as the grocery store clerk or a friend you haven’t heard from in a while. While you won’t see huge progress in achieving your goals this month, you will gain so much from stepping into your natural nurturer energy. Remember that much can be gained on a soulful level from being of self-less service to others. Embrace your inner nurturer and be open to any and all situations that present themselves over the next few weeks. Your soulful self-reflection will take the form of active service without the anticipation of receiving anything in return. You are the “Mother Teresa” of the Life Theme Numbers.

7: Since sevens are the “leap before thinking” people who tend to do first and think later, the chaotic energy of the pioneering creative eleven will have you feeling a bit out of sorts for the first part of the month. You are inclined to withdrawal for some alone time when you’re not feeling yourself and others might say you’re moody or irritable for the first week or two of November. It’s all about adjustment for you and you just need a moment to figure out the pattern flow of the eleven. It may seem at first that there isn’t one but you’ll get into the stream of things by mid-month and start to feel on top again. Relationships really aren’t a focus for the next several weeks and neither is career. It’s mainly about you and figuring out how and where you see yourself in this moment. Unlike the five, who is planning the next phase right now, you’re more concerned with wrapping your head around some of the mighty changes that have been creeping up on you from the inside out. You’ll realize that you’ve been shifting so much over the past several months that you need to take a moment and determine who you’ve become now so you can move forward again from this new perspective. As the deep, philosophical number of truth, there’s no doubt you’ll gain the necessary clarity and insight by month’s close (likely well before). You’re good at recognizing when it’s necessary to take that pause on the spiritual mountain so be sure to do so now so you’ll be able to use the second half of the month for more active pursuits.

8: Confidence is often a word to describe the Life Theme Number eight because it is the most active soul plane number and carries a doubtless energy as the soul does. You are wise and confident in what you know but you don’t know how you know it. Much of your information seems to come from nowhere and you have the knack of knowing what to say, when to say it, and how to say it (which is why eights are great in business). This month you will see a bit of a retreat of that natural talent and it may have you feeling a bit like you’re on shaky ground (as though your spidey senses are off). Know that it’s because the eleven also reduces to the number two (number of intuition/sensitivity) and it wants you to focus on your own inner challenges. Intuition doesn’t always seem to work for our own personal issues like it does when we use that gift for others because our emotional attachment to the outcome of a situation clouds it. Don’t despair that you can be the “knower” in every sense right now. Your confidence might have taken a hit but remember that you are being urged into a state of vulnerability in order to allow the more sensitive energies to be accessed and worked through. You’ll be feeling less than social for the majority of this month and may need to lay low while you’re processing things. Refrain from making any major outer decisions while your inner knowing is temporarily offline.

9: Of all six of the mental and emotional-based numbers, the nine is the one that will see the most action in November. Typically a big dreamer who is not keen on the action part of the equation (or has a harder time bringing their ideas to life), the nine will be taking the bull by the horns in the coming weeks. As the highest change number, nine will be feeling like a pent up horse in a stall at the starting gate. Leadership energy and confidence will exude from you as you get ready to step onto your platform. Be careful that your tendency to be a tad bossy doesn’t override what you need to accomplish through this take-charge energy of November. You may find yourself using your confidence and leadership skills in a dictatorship fashion which will hinder any progress you were aiming for. A key trait that will surface this month is your delegating ability. Like directing traffic, you’ll be able to use your dreamer energy to see the vision for others and help them get to where they’re going. On a personal level, the situations where your delegation skills come into play will be synchronistically beneficial to achieving your own goals as you glean informational tidbits from each encounter (much like puzzle pieces). By month’s end, you’ll find yourself having multiple ah-ha moments as everything starts to come together in a big way. You may think on a tangent at times but in the end you always sort it out to make sense of it. Expect to see monumental changes and shifts on the horizon in most areas of your life by the third or fourth week (although they may not fully manifest until next month).

10/1: You’re on your game and feeling particularly footloose and fancy free. The ten is adaptable and easy-going for the most part so the erratic eleven of November isn’t as intimidating to you as it is to some of the other numbers. In fact, it’s a good time for you to take some vacation time and go have a good time. The powerful energies of the eleven are amplifying your own powerful force as one of the Master Numbers. Others around you will flock to bask in your glow. You’re like a cat in the sunshine despite so much pioneering energy present with all the ones in the month’s energy and your own. While others may see you as a dawdler this month, you need this let-loose time to recharge and regenerate because the next several months will be big on action. Have fun and don’t worry that you aren’t making any outward progress, so to speak. Joy and happiness are an important part of our emotional and spiritual health and is highly underrated in our success and achievement-oriented society. Trade in your agendas for the time being and replace them for some rest and relaxation. If any number knows how to kick back and relax, it’s the ten.

11/2: Double the pleasure doesn’t apply when it comes to being an eleven in the eleventh month. It will no doubt be a pivotal month for you but the growth will come at a more painful price. Sometimes profound spiritual growth can be uncomfortable and akin to “growing pains”. Like the seven, you’ll be particularly moody and unreachable emotionally and mentally. You’ll find yourself drifting into thought often this month as you attempt to make sense of the swirling energies within you. Don’t fight the inner commotion but allow yourself to ride the wave through it. Attempting to make sense of it at this point will only cause you frustration. Surrounding yourself with positive people, places and things is imperative right now in order to keep your head above the water. The eleven Life Theme Number is the one that most easily loses their way and while under a double dose of the eleven, it can seem like you’re navigating without a compass. The only thing you can really do right now is stay focused on steering the boat through the storm. Know that the storm will pass closer to the end of the month, beginning of December and the sun shine tremendous light on things that may seen to make no sense at the moment. No particular area of your life will show much progress (relationships, career, finance, etc) until you’ve passed through this necessary shifting period. As the highest spiritual number, you can expect to have more profound and significant times of shifting than many of the other Life Theme Numbers. It is a blessing in disguise because you are meant to take leaps and bounds in your spiritual growth in order to be prepared to guide others on a more soulful level.

22/4: The twenty-two four is experiencing a bit of a reverse effect this month compared to the other Life Theme Numbers. Where the double two (intuitive) four would have a tendency to lean toward the softer emotional/spiritual side of the spectrum, they are seeing a stronger and more assertive side of themselves this month. Instead of letting their emotional self get the better of them (with the double twos outweighing the single four) under such a self-reflective month, they’re leaning strongly into their practical energy right now. As the Master Builder, they’re feeling powerful and strong in the eleventh power month. Career is the highlight with a spotlight on mentoring. You’re feeling a strong need to share of yourself and what you know. This will inadvertently benefit you as you begin to see your true talents and skills emerge like never before. It’s not only a pivotal month but year for the twenty-two four. You’re gearing up for 2014 and it’s going to be a biggie for you so get ready. Relationships won’t be a solid focus again until sometime in the spring.

33/6: As the highest incarnation, the thirty-three six joins the powerful forces of the double threes (number of imagination/memory) and the creative visionary six. These energies combined under a greater umbrella of eleven is nearly unstoppable in terms of progress and achievement. One of the skills of the thirty-three six is the ability to see the broader, bigger picture and while under the influence of the most spiritual number eleven, it can lead to some pretty great things. While this Life Theme Number can suffer from frequent self-doubt and self-criticism (self-sabotaging), this month is different and brings a much needed air of confidence. The written word will be strong for you so whether it be a work or in your personal life, get to work writing it out. The wisdom and knowledge will be flowing and best captured with pen to paper this month. Don’t be surprised if you see many famous thirty-three sixes make a comeback this month (like Lindsay Lohan) as this number is feeling particularly powerful and comfortable in their own skin for a change. Take advantage of this doubtless vibe to make great strides in bringing your dreams to fruition.

Turn Over a New Leaf this Fall

written by Michelle Arbeau

October is the tenth month of the year but from a numerological perspective, it reduces to the number one (1+0=1) and so it carries a strong “new beginnings” energy as the first physical plane number. One is the pioneering, trailblazing, stand-alone number that is all about achievement and success. Ten is the communication/mentoring number which makes October a powerful month of not only active accomplishment but sharing of knowledge through verbal means.

There is also a strong spiritual component to the active energy in the air during October when the physical-based one combines with the spiritual zero (symbol of the infinite or spiritual awareness). If you’re feeling the call to mentor someone or share of yourself from a communications perspective, you’re right where you need to be this month. Some Life Theme Numbers will find this month more reflective and verbal with less desire to take physical action while others will be revved up and ready to hit the ground running – literally.

Either way, there will be a depth to your actions during the month of October that will help you create, achieve and share meaningful accomplishments. There is an opportunity to make wise decisions over the next several weeks as the Earth Guide energy (10) is in full swing.

Calculating Your Number:

To calculate your Life Theme Number, add together each individual digit in your date of birth and then reduce to a single digit, like this:

DOB: 12-18-1975

1+2+1+8+1+9+7+5=34

3+4=7

This date of birth has a Life Theme Number of 7. Follow the same steps to calculate your own essence.

Individual Life Theme Number Forecast for September:

2: As the number of intuition/sensitivity, twos are typically the support system for others in their lives and they say behind every great leader is a two. More contemplative than action-seeking, the two will spend October utilizing the active communication energy thoughtfully. Behind each action you take this month, you’ll feel the need to think it through first. You’ll be strongly in your role of “supportive one” this month, leaning heavily into the mentoring energy that the ten brings. However, it won’t feel like you’re being used for your guidance as it can often be for you – on the contrary. You’ll be feeling more confident, wise and full of knowledge to share. The physical one combined with the spiritual zero is just the right combination of action energy for you. For the two, the spiritual zero slows down the active physical one to a vibration you can handle.

3: Depending on your combination of the three, this can either be a fun-filled let-loose month or a busy month of mental action, utilizing the physical “action” one and the spiritual zero to translate your ideas from paper to fruition. Pure threes (30/3) will feel the excitement of the new beginnings energy but more often they’ll be in-tune with the adaptable and sometimes superficial energy of the ten. Ten energy likes to keep life light, not delving too deeply into life’s problems, much like the social three. The more intellectual-focused three will be keen on channeling the physical energies to bring their ideas to life. Networking will be big as will synchronicity for the intellectual three. Meeting the right people, places, things at the right time. The best part is, the threes are detail-oriented and not much gets past them so they’ll be making the most of this action packed month.

4: As the “doer” but also the foundation number, the four will be hard at work building their empire this month. It’s about connecting dots for you, pulling things together to “build” it. You’re in high practical doing mode as the energy is urging you to put your nose to the grindstone and get things done. The practical energy around you is higher than normal because the pioneering one is backed by the depth of the spiritual zero, creating a healthy balance of practical spirituality. You’ll feel solid in your being, making grounded quality choices this month that will take you leaps and bounds forward in building what you want to create in life. Relationships will take a backseat for the four in October because you’ll be too busy making major progress in building upon the foundation of fulfilling your life purpose.

5: Five is half of ten so they tend to share many of the same qualities at times. The five will definitely be leaning toward the adaptable and more superficial energies of the ten this month. Freedom energy is flowing as the number of freedom of expression (5) is feeling the need to not only take action but to communicate how they feel (1). The five will be living mostly through the one, bypassing the zero somewhat for an action-packed month. Power-seeking can be a negative trait of the Life Theme Number five. Be cautious not to be overly zealous with your ambition to accomplish your goals or you’ll find you’ve created more enemies than you had when you started the month. You’re feeling foot-loose and fancy-free, ready to take on the world in a big way. As the artist’s number and with the World Year Number being the creative six, you’re definitely in a career or goal-focused mindset. Although, relationship challenges could rear their head because you’ll be more on the detached side from an emotional standpoint. This will be a blessing in disguise. Since you’re the number of the heart/emotions, you’ll be able to take a step back from the relationships that are no longer fitting in your life and be able to make the necessary changes.

6: Creative ideas can’t be brought to physical reality without the energies of the earthly plane to birth them. October combines the first physical number (1) with spiritual depth (zero) and the Life Theme Number six polishes this combination bringing the creative visionary element. You’ll be hard at work as the creative busy bee, polishing projects and creating new ones at a rapid pace. Not only do you have active physical energy behind you (1) but you’ve got the ability to heighten your visionary senses with the zero in check. Since 2013 is a relationship-focused year, you’ll see relationship shifting with a strong focus on “new beginnings” on various levels.

7: Sevens are the Life Theme Number that can go both ways with a strong intellectual side (the deep, philosophical number of truth) and also known as the “leaper” being the most active physical plane number. While under the influence of a pioneering one the seven takes on the more physical-based qualities of its vibration so action is the name of the game in October. The good news is that you’ll be less likely to experience hindsight learning from your impulsiveness. You’re on your game when it comes to taking chances this month and it will lead you to a much more authentic place than you have been during the past few months. The truth is being revealed to you in many areas of your life and as the “natural scientist” energy, you’re on the case in a very active way. Relationship wise truths that may or may not be wanted or expected will likely surface this month.

8: Eights are naturally confident people and when combined with the pioneer number (1) and the spiritually charged zero, it can make for some pretty substantial achievement and success. Eights are business savvy, knowing what to say, when to say it and how to say it. This month will definitely be career-focused for the Life Theme Number eight. You’ll be in the zone with your communication skills both on a social and professional level. As the number of abundance, manifestation and wisdom, eights make the most progress when they have the ability to channel their knowledge and wisdom into the physical realm where we manifest our dreams into reality. Harnessing the Earth Guide energy (10) of the month of October, you’ll be chalk full of wisdom overflowing. People will be attracted to you more so than ever as the wise sage this month so take care not to burn out. It will be an easy flowing month for the eights and you’ll feel you won’t have to push so hard in most areas of your life.

9: Action energy can be challenging for the very mental-based nine. Nine and one form the opposite ends of a cycle (one being the beginning and nine being the end of a cycle) which causes the nine to fight against the current when it comes to strong physical energy like the one. Even though it’s the number of ambition and idealism, nines excel in the thinking realm and hesitate when it comes to putting those ideas into action. Under the influence of a ten month, you’ll feel the urge to bring your ideas from pad to pavement. However, the ten energy this month will come more in the form of mentoring (ten is also known as the Earth Guide), wanting to use your mental insights and opinions to guide others along their path. Your keen intellectual abilities will be fine-tuned and wanting to be of self-less service to mankind, as is the nature of the humanitarian nine. You’ll be feeling detached relationship-wise because your focus is on being of service as guide this month with your acute intelligence. Don’t worry though, next month you can expect your fair share of relationship focused energy. Enjoy this time of feeling tuned into your energy as the humanitarian.

10/1: Ready, set, go! Talk about a double whammy this month. The Life Theme Number ten is feeling free to let go and have a good time. Life is for living and that’s what you’ll do this month. The pioneer energy of the one won’t have as much affect on you as some of the other Life Theme Numbers. You’re in it to let your hair down and have a good time and it’s rightfully deserved. You’ve had a rough couple of months and it’s about time you were allowed to be the adaptable and fun-loving ten you were meant to be. There will be less focus on ambition and more on communication on the social front for you this month. Relationships will be a focus but mostly on a casual basis – nothing hot and heavy. Relish this time to relax and release because November will bring some intense self-reflective energies for the ten that force you to go deeper than you’d care to go.

11/2: You are the Spiritual Guide Life Theme Number meaning you always need to be doing something that affects people from a more soulful level. Money and personal possessions are secondary for the eleven. While under the influence of the Earth Guide (10) in the month of October, you’ll certainly be feeling the call to post as the spiritual leader you were born to be. The tenth month brings mentoring energies into full swing and those who are meant to guide on a more soulful level will be feeling the tug to share their wisdom with the masses this month. The call to a global presence is big for the eleven as the frequency of the earth is increasing closer to that of the eleven. Written word is important this month so if you’re feeling the desire to blog or to write – do it. It’s a self-reflective time but also a time to share the wisdom you’ve gleaned thus far.

22/4: Taking the bull by the horns is the theme of the twenty-two four this month. With the essence of the foundation number (4) leading with double twos (number of intuition and sensitivity), you’re in the flow of intuitive guidance to build your empire. Much like the eleven, you’ll be highly sought after by friends, family and co-workers for guidance and support as they sense your connectedness. As the Master Builder number, you’ll surely be busy helping others restructure and rebuild their foundation. It isn’t so much about your own energies as it is about others because October carries a strong mentoring energy which you’re tuned into. On a personal level, you’ll be turning a new leaf whether you’re ready to or not. It’s a month of new beginnings and you’re in the midst of restructuring your foundation. You’ll finally let go of old relationships and start making room for the new energies to move in for the New Year.

33/6: You’re the number of creativity and creative expression and totally and intellectual energy. The physically dominant energies of October can cause a bit of apprehension for the thirty-three six. You’re the visionary and will step into your role this month as the mentoring energies of the ten are calling you to guide others from practical perspective. You’re also in the creative zone and able to communicate it well with the one in full effect followed by the spiritual depth of the zero. You are the nurturer, the visionary, the creative one who sees the bigger picture for others when they can’t see it for themselves. Any of the guiding energies (10, 11, 22, 33) will definitely be feeling the call to post this month to be the master guides they’re called to be. You connect the dots for others when they can’t see the bigger picture. Be prepared to talk to strangers like never before. The cashier that spills their life story in a matter of minutes or the cab driver who suddenly engages you in a deep conversation. It’s your calling to be the visionary for others and while under a mentoring ten energy of October, you’ll be the mother hen this month. Relationship wise, there will be a great deal of mending going on as old wounds will be healed and the bigger picture revealed.

The Unofficial New Year

written by Michelle Arbeau

Fall is just around the corner and to pave the way into a new season is the highest change month of the year – September. As the ninth month, it marks the end of an old cycle and the beginning of a new one. It’s the unofficial New Year when many of us get a rush of energy to take on new challenges, start new projects and tie up loose ends to make plans for the upcoming year ahead.

Every number in existence is created using the numbers 1-9 as well as the zero which is considered more of a symbol than a number. In numerology, everything is based on cycles and patterns of 1-9. September marks the ninth monthly energetic cycle of the year so whirlwind change is in the air.

Most of us will be busting out of the starting gate this month, taking advantage of the shift in energy after a sluggish July and erratic August. This month will bring more balance and direction to move forward.

Some of the synchronistic opportunities that may have come your way last month or projects you may have started will start to come together this month as the nine energy moves things forward. If you’re more of an intellectual Life Theme Number, you might use the month of September to dream up some major plans and act on them in October with its trailblazing one energy (number of new beginnings).

Any way you look at it, September is going to step it up several notches and energetically be like a train barreling down the tracks. Full steam ahead!

Calculating Your Number:

To calculate your Life Theme Number, add together each individual digit in your date of birth and then reduce to a single digit, like this:

DOB: 12-18-1975

1+2+1+8+1+9+7+5=34

3+4=7

This date of birth has a Life Theme Number of 7. Follow the same steps to calculate your own essence.

Individual Life Theme Number Forecast for September:

2: Twos have a harder time diving into the high change energy of September because two and nine are in many ways polar opposites. Two is the number of intuition and sensitivity (most sensitive soul number) while nine is the number of ambition and idealism (most active mental number). It may take you the first week or so to get into the groove of the high change energy but once you do, you’ll be using your intuition like no other time this year, navigating the winds of change with ease. You’ll shine in your decision-making skills this month whereas usually, you’re the indecisive one. The idealistic and quick moving nine will keep you on your toes and in-tune with your gut – they’ll be no time for wishy-washy behavior.

3: As the social butterfly and number of imagination/inspiration, September tends to be a good month for you. You’re the intellectual socialite so you’ll be raring to go this month as you get swept away in the high change vibe. Your mind will be churning with fresh ideas and those around you will benefit from your never-ending stream of genius this month. Some of the Life Theme Numbers won’t be able to keep up with such a high dose of change energy but you’ll have no trouble. In fact, this fast-paced energy is your element and it will be a very productive month for you in many ways.

4: As the doer, you’ll be in high practical mode this month, using the high change energy to put your goals in motion in a strategic and organized way. You’ll be the grounded one this month, even more so than ever before as you take things step by step. You’re on a mission and will be using the highest change month to lay the foundation for the months ahead. This is a turning of the leaf month for you and you’re rolling out your master plan. Relationships won’t be on the agenda in September since you’ll be way too busy with goal-oriented pursuits.

5: The freedom of expression number five is feeling their power side this month. As the artist’s number that loves to express, the flip side of the five is to seek power and control. Hitler was a five Life Theme Number and although he was known to be artistic and compassionate to animals, he also expressed the more negative side of the five. Be careful not to get swept away by the high change energy to the extent that you become bossy and dominating. You love change and the fast pace of September is right up your alley. The spotlight will be on you in several ways this month – career, relationships and the social scene. The glow you have will be magnetic and you’ll find yourself attracting people, situations and things with ease.

6: As the number of creativity and creative expression, you’ll be less inclined to make outward changes, instead using extra mental juice of the most active mind plane number nine to polish up your emerging ideas from August. You’ll also be in high nurturing mode (the softer side of the six) and if you’re not in a relationship now, it will be in the forefront of your mind. If you are in a relationship, the nine energy of September may make you feel the urge to solidify the connection in a bigger way. Sixes are the visionaries who see the bigger picture but this month, it’s all about fine-tuning and the smaller details. You’re connecting your own dots to pull things together and deciding/creating what you want going forward. It will be a surprisingly calm and stable month for the often over-thinking, perfectionist six.

7: Sevens are leapers and not so much thinkers which means the most active month of the year will be about outer action for you. It’s definitely time for you to take action on the things you’ve contemplated in July and planted the seed for in August. One key element is that you’ll be feeling the call to share of yourself, your wisdom and knowledge in a mentoring way. If you’re not already involved in one, seek out a group setting where your natural teaching/learning energy can be utilized. The ninth month and its humanitarian energy is all about high change but also desires to give back in self-less service. Focus on sharing what you know with others this month. It will not only help others but help you consolidate, integrate and move forward with your own experiences.

8: Detached and independent is the name of the game for the eights this month. As the confident, assertive number of wisdom, you’re feeling the need to let down your hair and have a good time. Unlike last month which was very goal/career focused, this month is more of a break to reward yourself for the hard work. Go out and have a good time. You’re a natural networker so it will be a double-whammy and you’ll find progress in having fun. Relax this month and go with the flow. You’ll be back in drive the following month so enjoy the much-needed break.

9: A nine in the ninth month can go in several different directions depending on the nine in question. If your date of birth adds to thirty-six before reducing to nine, you may find September to be mentally agitating for you. Worry, anxiety and stress might get the better of you if you allow it. Your mind is going a mile a minute in this high change air. If your date of birth is an eighteen before reducing to nine, you’ll be more inclined to take action on things you’ve been sitting on with the number one (pioneer, number of new beginnings) leading your energy. Whatever direction you’re headed in, you’ll be poised for big changes this month (inner and/or outer) whether you’re ready for them or not. Be cautious not to fall into negative mode and become judgmental and critical of others as a means of coping with the high change vibe. Remind yourself that you’re in your element this month and you need to grab the bull by the horns rather than play the blame game.

10/1: At the base of the ten is a one which is the first physical plane number, the pioneer. The best trait of the Life Theme Number number ten is their adaptability, especially under high change circumstances. The caution here is to not sweep things under the rug when the heat is on. The high change this month will dredge up issues you have been putting off dealing with and it’s best to use the high mental energy of the ninth month to clear the air and get on the right track again. Relationships will be big for the ten this month and getting the issues out on the table. When the stress is high, tens go into physical mode (1) and neglect their spiritual side (0) but under the influence of such a strong mental month (9), you’ll have no choice but to face the music. You’ll be back in the zone next month with the one in October but for now, it’s one of the few months that the ten is forced to take a hard look at things.

11/2: The eleven is really being called to step up to the plate this month. As the spiritual guide, the eleven is being led into September feeling there’s something BIG they need to be focusing their energy on. You’re attracting people to you like a moth to a flame right now as people sense your ability to lead them from the inside out. Don’t be surprised if you notice a big increase in the people who randomly tell you their life’s story. You’re a natural counselor in many ways so others feel drawn to share with you. Your life path and purpose have never been closer to you and it’s time to step into it. The remaining part of the year will feel akin to emerging from a cocoon with September marking the beginning phase. There are endless ways to be a spiritual guide. It’s time to find yours and this has been building since 2011.

22/4: As an intuitive power house (double twos, number of intuition/sensitivity) combining to form the “doer” (four), you’re coming out of your shell from the summer months ready to lead and be the Master Builder that you are. Akin to an architect, you are planning and preparing your new blueprint for the coming months and year. Like the Life Theme Number four, it’s less about outer doing and more about restructuring your foundation with all this high change energy. However, you are a master frequency so it’s bigger, broader or more global in terms of what you’re restructuring for. Globally next year, it’s all about rebuilding from the ground up with the keyword authenticity. The world has been in crisis for some time (financially, environmentally, etc) but thankfully we have the twenty-two fours to help us rebuild our foundation from the ground up. Career is the highlight of September for you with relationships taking a back seat until sometime in December.

33/6: The theme of September for the thirty-three six: Write it out. Leading with the double imaginative and inspirational threes combining to form the number of creativity, the high mental energy of the ninth month can be literally mind-blowing for the thirty-three six. Although ideas, random thoughts and new goals are churning, you may feel the need to retreat to a private space more often than normal. Not all thirty-three sixes are gifted writers but many of them express themselves better on paper, especially during times of high stress and anxiety. If you’re feeling extra stressed and overwhelmed this month, take some time to write it down on paper, even if it’s just a few sentences. You’ll find clarity in the unspoken word this month. This month is intellectual overload for you with so many mind plane numbers colliding (3, 6, 9) so watch for signs of burn-out and take the necessary steps to self-nurture.

Take Charge and Make it Happen

written by Michelle Arbeau

This August is a polar opposite energy from the previous introverted and contemplative month of July. There was a lot energetically going on last month with an immense and intense amount of emotional shifting happening. Even for the most grounded of numbers, it ended up being a bumpier ride than expected.

With all the clearing done and behind us, the confident and doubtless eight energy of August brings with it no-fail energy to go after what you’ve been contemplating last month. If there is ever a month I recommend going for something it’s August because this is the month that begins the highest change months of the year. The eight, nine and one months carry the “go for it” energies. August is a great time for business ventures of all kinds and opportunities come knocking as the flow of synchronicity is in full effect.

Obama and Oprah were both in an eight personal year last year and although at times it seemed they were on shaky ground, they came out on top. As a month’s energy, August is a time to get yourself prepared for the opportunities that will come knocking at your door.

Eight is the number of wisdom, independence, assertiveness, abundance and manifestation so be sure to take full advantage of the energetically creative magic at your fingertips right now. Anything you’ve been thinking about doing, it’s time to make it happen. August and it’s eight energy will give you that extra boost of confidence and assertiveness to be bold, brave and fearless in accomplishing what your soul has been urging you to do.

Calculating Your Number:

Before we get to the individual monthly forecasts, you’ll need to calculate your Life Theme Number which is your main energetic essence in this lifetime. Your date of birth is like spiritual DNA and can reveal who you are, what you’re here to do and how to do it.
To calculate your Life Theme Number, add together each individual digit in your date of birth and then reduce to a single digit, like this:

DOB: 12-18-1975
1+2+1+8+1+9+7+5=34
3+4=7

This date of birth has a Life Theme Number of 7. Follow the same steps to calculate your own essence.
**Note: If the sum equates to 10, 11, 22 or 33, stop there. Don’t reduce these numbers further as they are called the Master Numbers and should be displayed in their unreduced form. They are guiding frequencies which carry a greater responsibility to mankind in terms of their life purpose. To find out more about these numbers and the other nine base energies, sign up to my newsletter at www.MichelleArbeau.com to receive a complimentary copy of “Life Theme Numbers”.

Individual Life Theme Number Forecast for August:

2: As the most sensitive and subdued Life Theme Number, the two has a hard time embracing the confident and doubtless energies of the eighth month. It will take you a bit more time to warm up to the bold energies that are urging you to use your gifts of intuition to bring your ideas to life. Twos are used to being the support and eight is a take-charge, goal-oriented frequency which is just what you need this month after being in hibernation mode in July. Mid-month will be your time to start shining as the energies will be in full swing and you won’t be able to resist the temptation to get out there and get going.

3: Threes are pumped about the abundance and inspiration to achieve their goals this month. Eight energy is just what the doctor ordered for the indecisive three who normally sits on the fence with decision making. Confidence gives the inspirational three the ability to be the social butterfly they were born to be and go out to solidify their dreams. Be cautious about being too cocky or overly confident because threes tend toward a “bipolar” personality. When they’re up, they’re really up. August is a great month for the three to stop procrastinating and taking action in big ways. Of all the Life Theme Numbers, threes will notice the shift in confidence in a big way.

4: Four is half of eight and share many of the same qualities as the eight except for the confidence factor. Four is stable, wise, solid and business smart but lacks the confidence at times to make it happen. With the foundational energy of the four combined with the confidence and wisdom of the eight this month, fours are hitting the ground running with projects that have been on the back burner for a while. Fours are in high action mode in August but it’s strategic. They have a solid foundational plan and are sticking to it. The eight energy of the month has put a fire under the foundation of the four to build their house career wise. Relationship wise it is best to avoid getting into a serious relationship as the fours have a one track mind this month and that’s career.

5: Five and eight are the most freedom seeking of all the numbers and the month of August is always a time for the five to let loose and go for the gold. The confidence and freedom that the energy of August brings can definitely cause conflicts in relationships for the five, especially since the world year is also a six (relationship focused year). The focus for the five should be career but try to avoid the tendency to let loose too much and lose sight of the goals you want to achieve in favor of letting loose and having fun. You deserve it after the conservative and contemplative month of July. Be cautious not to mess up anything great you’ve got going relationship-wise because the confident eight energy can cause the five to really live that freedom of expression number that they are.

6: Sixes are in the creative zone. They’re confident in their abilities and know what they want to create this month. It will be a tough month in terms of relationships because they’ll be a need to be separate and free for a while, which is unusual for the six who is usually very relationship/family oriented. Be cautious not to do anything you’ll regret because the confidence of the eight will outweigh your normally pessimistic tendencies. Career-wise, you’re on fire and should go with any and all opportunities that present themselves. Creative energy (6) combined with doubtlessness (8) is an unstoppable combination.

7: Sevens will have no problem with leaping into the take-charge energy of the eight this month. Sevens are leapers before thinkers (for the most part) and don’t take advice from others unless it resonates with them completely. The sevens are ready to take the world by storm and show everyone the truth, which is the lesson of the seven. Sevens as an uneven number aren’t necessarily business savvy with their erratic decision making but when it comes to an eight month, they’re on their game and ready to lead by example. The sevens are like a horse at the starting gate this month, ready to take significant action. Confidence is theirs in every way.

8: Depending on the other traits and qualities you carry, if you’re an eight Life Theme Number your focus will be career, relationships or both. Relationship troubles tend to follow the eight because they guard their independence at all costs but when there is a double dose of eight energy, the distance and need to be independent is at an all-time high – and others can feel that. The good news is that many of the relationship changes you’ll experience will be positive because you living a “what you see is what you get” energy (an 8 in an 8 month). If old relationships are finished but you’ve been putting off ending them, you will now. Likewise, if you’re ready to take the next step in a relationship, now is the time to say so.

Career wise, it’s time to step up to the plate and be that savvy leader you were born to be. Ask for that promotion or step up in compensation you deserve because you’ll get it if you harness the doubtless intention-setting abundance energy of the eight this month. Overall, this will be a happy, productive month for the eight. Normally eights are great at keeping their emotions in check as the strongest of the soul plane numbers but because they is extra eight energy floating around, emotions will certainly be a factor in what you say and do this month.

9: Nines are justice-seeking and typically black and white thinkers but their efforts are always selfless (nines are the humanitarians) so the confidence factor that the eighth month brings will put the nine into high gear with righting the wrongs of the world. They’ll be in self-less service mode as the most active soul number takes them down from the head and into the heart. Typically nines aren’t great in business but this month if you want to advance in business or career or have a goal you’d like to act on the business savvy eight will give you the practical energy necessary to make the right choices to move in the right direction. In relationships, take care not to let your righteous thinking get too out of control with the confidence of the eight backing it.

10/1: Tens are going to have a whole lot of fun this month with confidence (8) merging with the adaptable and fun loving nature of the ten. As the Earth Guide, you’ll also be totally on your game with giving that free-flowing advice that seems to come from nowhere. Eight being the number of wisdom, you’ll be drawing on your communication skills and combining them with the business sense of the eight to make some fantastic networking connections this month. Whether it’s relationships or career, you’ll be in the zone with connecting with the right people, places and things to make it happen. Personal relationships will take a back seat or you’ll feel the need to step back from them a bit this month. You’re working through the independent one in your Life Theme Number this month which is the stand-alone trailblazing number.

11/2: Eight energy can sometimes be a bit overwhelming for the spiritual Life Theme Numbers and sometimes the over-abundance of confidence can be a bit too much to handle for the spiritual eleven. Eights are very business oriented – money, business, success…while the eleven is all about money being secondary. Michelle Obama is an eleven is dresses in Target dresses because she isn’t concerned with monetary things, as with all elevens. That said, this month for the eleven is about stepping into being the spiritual guide they were meant to be. Of all the months, this is the month they are being called to their post, so to speak. It’s the month where they realize there is a greater calling for them than the mundane. They are meant to touch the masses and this is their time to shine during the next three months. Many healers and guides are being called to their post and the elevens are REALLY feeling the call this month as their wealth of wisdom is overwhelming and over-pouring. Relationships and financial dealings are to take a back seat this month as it’s all about life purpose this month and embracing it. You’re being called to do what you ‘re here to do. You are the spiritual guide but there are many ways to do this. You don’t have to preach from the mountain tops, go out and guide the masses as the world is in crisis and needs the spiritual guides to lead them now.

22/4: Four is half of eight and they share many of the same qualities but the twenty-two four will really bring the practical and intuitive flair to the equation this month to harness the free-flowing abundance, directing it in all the right places. This is a huge foundational building month for the twenty-two four, whether it’s rebuilding a new foundation or adding to an existing one. Projects that you’ve been working on will come together in a big way in August. Your intuition is on high alert to notice the synchronistic opportunities that come with the eight energy of this month. It’s all about a focus on foundation this month because eight is business oriented, especially for the intuitive four Master Builder.

33/6: Your self-sabotaging ways will be less this month as you’ll gain the confidence of the eight to push you further and step away from your tendency to be self-doubting or self-critical. You’re the visionary number as well which means the wise eight energy of August will have people flocking to you for advice even more than they already do. Your visionary skills will even be working for your own benefit for a change and you’ll gain a greater understanding of where you are in your life right now. Take advantage of this extra boost and much less self-doubt to harness your creative powers (as the number of creativity) to create what you want or at least set the wheels in motion before the highest change month arrives next month. In relationships, you’ll definitely be the “go to” mother figure this month. Be sure to save some nurturing for yourself or you’ll crash and burn from playing the role of counselor.

The Contemplative Calm before the Whirlwind Storm of Change

written by Michelle Arbeau

Stepping out of the creative flow of June and into the contemplative month of July doesn’t have to put the brakes on any new projects or endeavors you’re fired up about. It simply means it’s time to take a step back and examine your next move. As the deep, philosophical, truth-seeker number, any cycle of seven is symbolic of being on the spiritual mountain, looking back to where you’ve been and looking ahead to where you want to go next. With August coming up next carrying its confident, assertive abundant energy that says go after your goals with gusto, July is a time to reflect, a pause before the whirlwind of high change comes in with the eighth and ninth month forming the peak of the cycle of change for the year.
Some may find the slowed down feel of July a bit too much to handle after being in high creative mode in June. Keep in mind that energy has a natural ebb and flow and we can’t forge full steam ahead all the time. If you take the time necessary to review all aspects of your life in July, you’ll be ready to confidently embrace the manifestation energy of the eighth month of August followed by the highest change month of the year, September. Those who don’t take the time this month for self-reflection and review of current issues, challenges or plans will find themselves not feeling confident or certain about where they need to make changes and in what way. It can mean the difference between free-flowing synchronistic change and chaotic, uncertain change energy.

Calculating Your Number:
Before we get to the individual monthly forecasts, you’ll need to calculate your Life Theme Number which is your main energetic essence in this lifetime. Your date of birth is like spiritual DNA and can reveal who you are, what you’re here to do and how to do it.

To calculate your Life Theme Number, add together each individual digit in your date of birth and then reduce to a single digit, like this:
DOB: 12-18-1975
1+2+1+8+1+9+7+5=34
3+4=7

Individual Life Theme Number Forecast for July:
2: The sensitive and intuitive two will find the contemplative calm of the seventh frequency this month rather soothing. Since the world year is a creative six with a strong focus on relationship shifting, the intuitive two is happy to be feeling a more subdued and less drama-filled tone. Sensitive to the emotions of others, the two has been feeling particularly hit hard with so much relationship shifting happening around them or even in their own life. The month of July will draw the two inward for self-reflection and create less emotional and psychic vulnerability than the previous two months. Enjoy this easier month and use it to clean out any residual emotional or intuitive debris to make way for the abundant energy to flow next month. This month is for personal reflection and shouldn’t be spent focusing too much energy on other relationships. It’s a self-nurturing period for the two.

3: As the social butterfly and the imagination, intellectual one, the three can find the more passive or contemplative months rather difficult, feeling antsy or restless with the lack of outer action. The reflective energy of the seventh month is best used by the three to use their strong mental strengths as the gateway mind plane number of imagination and memory to dream up their next steps. Being analytic by nature, the three can get into the philosophical energies of July’s seven energy if they’re willing to step out of social mode get down to business. Relationship wise, the three will find themselves a bit moody, restless and short-tempered with relationships that are drama oriented.

4: Four and seven are side by side on the numerological birth chart and they are considered the most active physical numbers. Fours are the practical doers and sevens are the leapers (leap first, think later). However, as the “doer” the four doesn’t have the same low-key contemplative side that the seven has so it can be a challenge for the four to step away from its regular “doing” routine. They are practical in their approach but not always willing to spend too much time on reworking or refocusing. They are logical and step-by-step in their approach to life and that’s how they approach achieving what they want. Steady and steadfast, they are all about building foundation. The key with the four this month is to remember that a great deal of planning and thought must goes into building a strong, solid footing from which you can then build confidently upon.

5: Like the seven, fives like their alone time to work through things so it can be an easy month for the five to take a step back and examine and defragment their life. A strong caution with the five this month is to resist the urge to use the side of the seven energy that wants to leap before thinking. Five and seven share that carefree, spontaneity and it can be easy for the five to forget that July’s energy wants to you to listen to that still, small voice within rather than take outward action. In relationships this month, those intimately involved with a five should recognize they may retreat more than usual for alone time to handle any inward challenges bubbling to the surface. For fives who are feeling particularly restless with the lack of outer change going on, focus on doing more physical activity because this will allow you to work through the contemplative energies more productively. Five energy flows erratically and things like walking meditations will be much more beneficial for you than just being alone with your thoughts. Five’s best insights come when they’re in motion as the number of freedom of expression.

6: As the number of creative expression and the visionary number, the six knows a thing or two about stepping back to see the bigger, broader picture. However, with a negative tendency toward pessimism and the worry-wart syndrome, the six may have a bit too much time on their hands to get lost in their mental chatter. When the six becomes stalled for too long, they dip into the negative vortex as the number of extremes. The six can be a little too good at utilizing the contemplative energies of the seventh month to the point they overanalyze a situation. Unlike all the other numbers, the six will really be taking a hard, long look at every aspect of their lives. With the global year a six as well, most sixes will be re-examining where they stand in most areas of their lives and their relationship to those people, places or situations. It’s a great month for the six to practice patience and learn how to work through their thoughts from a more detached vantage point without going too far into the “what-if” mental scenarios. Seven energy teaches the six mental balance which is most often a learning lesson for them.

7: For the seven in the month of the seven, it will depend on what side of the seven you lean toward what kind of month you’ll have. If you’re a more active leap before thinking kind of seven, you’ll find it hard to unwind and be still to do the inner work this month is urging you to do. If you’re more of an analytical seven, this month will be very productive for you in terms of working through any mental or emotional baggage. For the more mellow seven, you’ll be extra chill this month and may even feel called to go on a relaxing getaway. If you’re very much the doing seven, remind yourself daily to take time to be quiet with your thoughts otherwise you’ll arrive on the doorstep of the eighth month of abundance frazzled and taking haphazard leaps you might regret later.

8: As the number of wisdom and independence, eights are independent people who prefer to deal with things in their own way and own timetable. Under the influence of the seven energy, an eight can feel a bit bossed around, so to speak through its desire to push you inward. Eights are confident people who don’t necessary do a great deal of thinking because they usually know what they want or need and go for it. It can be challenging for an eight to take a step back from their matter-of-fact ways to consider they might need to re-evaluate some areas of their life. Contemplation really isn’t up the eight’s alley – they like to share their innate wisdom but not ponder it. At the very least, slow down this month to allow some self-reflective moments to consider some of your bigger present challenges or concerns. You’ll be glad you did because next month is a double whammy eight for you.

9: Nines are the big dreamers, the outside the box thinkers but also the number of ambition, idealism and responsibility. When it comes to handling the contemplative energy of the seventh month, they can work through a lot of stuff in a short amount of time with their lightning fast thought processes. The downside is that they don’t always think deep. Nines are notorious for missing the smaller details in favor of the bigger picture. This month is precisely about getting to the root of the matter or the truth of things which the ambitious nine may skim over. As an address, the nine is called the retirement house because it’s big on dreaming but not on action or specific plans of action. July is a great month for the nines to take some time off work in favor of leisure in order to slow the mental faculties long enough to start seeing some of the minor but absolutely important details in your life.

10/1: When it comes to contemplative energies, the ten can be a hybrid energy with the combination of the first physical number (1) combining with the symbol of the infinite or spiritual awareness (0) creating a very grounded holding space for the energies. One is the pioneer, the trailblazer number of new beginnings while the zero holds spiritual awareness energy. The most prized trait of the ten is their ability to be adaptable. They like to keep life light, not delving too deeply into the problems of not only themselves but others. On the flip side, they like their down time and can often be like cats in the sunshine. Due to this split nature of the ten, when in a self-reflective month, they usually embrace it but in a carefree way. They don’t push it but allow it to unravel. If you’re a ten that lives more through the active physical one energy, the deeper seven energy may be too intense for you. In relationships, this will cause the ten to distance themselves because of their preference to swim in the shallow side of the pool where they can splash and play. Balancing the one and zero in the ten this month is important to get the most out of the call for inner work to be done.

11/2: This is a big month for the elevens. Like the two, this month is definitely all about inner work for them and not really about outer relationships but there’s a big difference between the eleven and two Life Theme Numbers right now. The two is focused on inner work on a more personal level while the eleven is not only working on personal inner shifting, releasing and refocusing, they are also working toward a greater shift in perspective as they are poised to embrace some career goals in the next few months. Many elevens have been feeling the build since the fall of last year and it continues to grow. This month is truly the calm before the storm but in a good way. More than the other Life Theme Numbers, it’s crucial for you to get your inner self aligned and in good energetic order before the synchronistic energy of August rolls in. If you’re an eleven who feels like you’re on the verge of a breakthrough in some way, shape or form in your life, you’re likely very right. The keyword for you this month is “breakthrough”.

22/4: Although a physical doing energy at the base as the solid, stable, “doing” four, with the added power of the double intuitive twos, the twenty-two four is poised to prune from the inside out this month. In-tune psychically and emotionally (22), the doing energy (4) is focused on cleaning out the closet, literally and figuratively – pruning things that no longer serve them. The twenty-two four will use the seven energy this month with grace and class, sailing through its contemplative space with ease. Unlike the single four which may have a harder time resisting embarking on physical changes, the double twos of the twenty-two four help to balance out and refocus the doing energy on inner doing. Twenty-two fours will be extra busy guiding others this month as well because others will sense their heightened navigation skills under the guiding force of the deep, philosophical seven.

33/6: Being the number of extremes, six often has trouble dealing with overly thought-provoking energies like the philosophical seven. Since six tends to over-analyze and over-think things to the point of creating situations out of thin air, it can be even more challenging for the thirty-three six to not go too far with their thoughts. Having double threes lead the way, which is the number of imagination but in the negative is also self-doubting and self-critical, the thirty-three six can spin their wheels in indecisiveness. Self-reflection can be torture because they’re on the fence with decision making and just end up with more avenues of indecisiveness instead of paths of resolution. Since creativity is subdued under a seven, the thirty-three six can find it hard to stay in a positive space and may find themselves moody, extra anxious and not sure what to focus their attention on next. The main piece of advice for this Life Theme Number in July is to take it in bits and pieces. Don’t get caught up in long sessions of being lost in thought or you’ll just do circles, getting nowhere. As they number of creativity, you are spontaneous in the creative realm so allow the self-reflection to come in bursts as your creativity often does.

June 2013: Creativity, Relationship Shifting & Self-Nurturing

written by Michelle Arbeau

June is going to come in like a lion. As the sixth month, it is the number of creativity and creative expression allowing your creative juices to flow freely. However, given that six is also the “number of extremes”, it has a strong positive and negative side. When in creative mode, the six is unstoppable in terms of what can be achieved creatively. When in the negative, it can be like a vortex impossible to get out of with pessimism and criticism leading every thought. The trick to avoid the darker side of the six is to keep moving forward with expression of your creative self. The moment six energy becomes stalled, it dips into negativity automatically so keeping the creative river flowing is imperative.

Aside from creativity, six is also the visionary number and can help you see things from a bigger, broader perspective. This month you’ll get an eagle’s eye view of the situations you might not have been able to gain clarity on until now. Your dots will start connecting and allow you to focus on moving forward with them.

The World Year Number is also a six this year so it’s a double whammy in the month of June with a strong focus on relationships. Six is a catalyst for starting, ending or changing relationships on some level. It doesn’t necessarily have to be intimate relationships either. It can be the relationships you have with friends, family, co-workers or any other relationship in your life. With such an abundance of six energy you can expect some degree of relationship shifting this month. Nesting energy will also be in the air so if you’re not in a relationship, you’ll start to feel the desire to find that special someone. It also tends to be a popular month not only to give birth but to conceive, highlighting the month’s creative focus.

Next month will bring in a wave of self-reflection and contemplation as the energy dips to allow for consolidation and rest so be sure to use June’s creative flow to it’s full advantage. You’ll have time to rest in the solitude and contemplation of July’s philosophical energy but in the mean time, use the power of the creative six to become the magnificent creator of your life that you were born to be.

Calculating Your Number:

To calculate your Life Theme Number, add together each individual digit in your date of birth and then reduce to a single digit, like this:

DOB: 12-18-1975

1+2+1+8+1+9+7+5=34

3+4=7

This date of birth has a Life Theme Number of 7. Follow the same steps to calculate your own essence.

Individual Life Theme Number Forecast for June:

2: The intuitive and sensitive two has an advantage in the creative realm of the six. True creativity comes from the soul while the brain is a tool to translate the creativity. Where intuition meets creativity, it becomes an unstoppable force allowing you to bring your dreams to fruition in a big way. With a strong focus on relationships this month, your intuition will be advantageous in navigating any relationship shifting but your sensitivity could get in the way. Be mindful of the fact that your emotions can be extra sensitive under the influence of the number of extremes sixth month. Take a step back to clear your intuitive channels when emotions run high. Of all the Life Theme Numbers, you have a leg up in both highlighted focuses this month – creative expression and relationships. Our intuition is like life’s compass. Keep centered in your intuitive self and you’ll make some major headway this month in most areas of your life.

3: You’ll be in heaven this month with your imaginative and inspirational qualities getting a broader viewpoint through the creative visionary six energy. As long as you’re actively creating, you’ll be the Life Theme Number that keeps everyone smiling and moving forward. With three and six side by side on the birth chart, they feed off each other when in the positive and negative. Be careful that you don’t dip into your self-defeating traits of self-doubt and self-criticism because the six energy of the month of June will take you even further into the vortex, adding pessimism and critical thinking. Three as the number of imagination and six as the number of creativity are the epitome of creative genius when positively paired together but as soon as they cross into the negative abyss, it’s almost impossible to retrieve them. This month could be a win-win or a lose-lose for you. It is imperative that you surround yourself with positive people, places and things this month. You’ll definitely be the social butterfly in June, especially because of the relationship focus. Enjoy stepping into your powerful imagination and manifesting power and make it happen.

4: The solid and physical-based four can sometimes have a hard time navigating an extremely mentally-centered energy like the six. The six can be irrational and play the “what-if” games which the four has no interest in. Fours are loyal, trustworthy and steadfast. On the flip side, one of their main weaknesses is impatience. They want what they want and they want it now. That’s not to say they won’t put in the hard work but when confronted with pessimistic and critical energy like the six, their impatience can come front and center. You’re a hard worker who isn’t afraid to put in the effort as the “doer” so when it comes to your professional goals, it will be a highly productive and creative month but on a more personal level, expect that you’ll be dealing with impatience with those loved ones and the situations involving them. Irritation and impatience shouldn’t be confused with your true feelings. The extreme sides of the six can pull you in two different directions, creating drama that will pass. Try not to say or do anything you’ll regret and instead focus on your creative goals, putting most of your energy into that. A six month is not your time to deal with relationships on an in-depth level.

5:.This is your month to really let loose. You are the number of freedom of expression and the month of June being the number of creativity wants to you get out your canvas to paint your life’s portrait. The freedom that June will bring is almost like walking on cloud nine. There is nothing better to a five than to feel free to express themselves and the ultimate expression is creativity. The Life Theme Number five will be bold on all levels this month. If there was a job promotion you were hesitant about going for or relationship challenges you’ve put off, now is the time to create the scenarios you want. When the five is in their expressive element, they are independent, happy and up for anything. However, too much freedom to do what they want and their power-seeking energy in the negative can creep in. This is especially so when dealing with others and with a strong relationship energy in the air, it may lead to hurtful actions and words on your part. You are the number of the heart and emotions so like the sensitive and intuitive two, emotions are running high. It’s all in how you direct those emotions though. Funnel them into your expression in positive ways and you’ll stay out of trouble.

6: Your energies are doubled up this month and it sounds like good thing to have a double dose of creativity but as the number of extremes, you’re walking a fine line to keep things in the positive. Despite being the number of creativity, the focus this month for you will be relationships. It’s time to clean up old energies of the past in respect to relationships so you can focus on the creative part later in the month. You’ll spend a good part of June dealing with some form of relationship drama or chaos. Like all things the six sets out to do, it’s critical to keep moving forward in a positive way. You get into trouble with pessimism and critical energy setting in when you become stalled. Of all the months of the year, this is the most important one to keep busy and moving forward. Plan out your month with a checklist of goals to accomplish in the relationship realm and it will keep you on track and out of the negative space you’re prone to.

7: Although it’s a creative month, you’re going to use your creative energy to contemplate what you want to create. Sevens are often leapers who act first and think later but this month with six being the middle mental plane number you’ll be in your head instead of your physical energy. That’s a good thing because you will use the tremendous wide view energy of the combined visionary six and the deep, philosophical truth-seeking seven energy to figure things out on many levels. It’s a pivotal month for you in terms of where you stand in relationships and what you want in other areas of your life. This is a month that is less about creative fire and more about seeing the bigger picture of your life. Don’t get hung up on feeling frustrated with the lack of physical action because it’s not the right time. Just remember you’re making major headway in your mind, heart and soul and that’s huge.

8: The eight and five are the most freedom-seeking of all the numbers and when they encounter a creative energy such as the sixth month of June, it brings out the bold, independent and adventurous side of their energies. The Life Theme Number eight (in general) more often than not has issues with relationships on some level because they guard their independence at all costs. June, with its focus on relationship shifting, will have the eight pulling back and being ultra independent this month. Expect to be the peacock boasting your beautiful feather tail and showing that you don’t need anyone for anything. This will be an independent month for you on all levels. Career and relationships will get a gust of creative gusto from you. Eights tend to have strong physical bodies and stable health. This month health-wise will be a self-nurturing energy. It’s less about personal relationships this month and more about self-care. If you do have to deal with issues related to personal relationship issues, know that the bottom line is about your personal growth and development. Don’t feel guilty about being focused on you this month. That’s what the relationship shifting energy is asking of you for the next several weeks – go with it. You have to take care of you first in order to be the best person you can be.

9: Even more so than the three, the combination of the nine and six joining forces can spell negativity in a big way. The most active mental numbers on the mind plane are the six and nine which can kick the worry-wart and what-if scenario thinking into overdrive. Nines can suffer from tangent thinking because they’re big dreamers. When they’re in a highly creative month like June and its creative flow that can be one of the most progressive in terms of bringing their dreams to life. As the out-of-the-box thinkers, the sky’s the limit when locked into the creativity stream. You are in the manifesting zone right now whether you realize it or not. However, nines can also get wrapped up in a double dose of negativity with both the six and nine suffering from pessimism in many ways. On the relationship front, you’ll be doing much more thinking than taking action this month. The issue is that you should avoid over-thinking and overanalyzing every detail because it will create more problems than you started out with.

10/1: The Life Theme Number ten is the least affected by the negative side of the six. Tens like to keep life on the lighter side so the drama that can follow the six themed month doesn’t have the same effect on the ten as the other Life Theme Numbers. Tens have no interest in the drama, they’d rather have a good time. The focus this month will be more about creative expression than relationship shifting. Any relationship changes will be more about new beginnings and turning the page than about any turmoil or ongoing changes. It will be quick, painless and to the point. You’re a pioneer and a trailblazer not a drama magnet so you’ll avoid some of the pain and suffering on the emotional level that some of the other Life Theme Numbers will experience. Count your blessings and utilize your new beginnings energy combined with the creative zest of the creative power of the sixth month of June to accomplish what you set out to do. You’re the first physical number and to create in the physical realm, you have to just do it.

11/2: Like the Life Theme Number two, the eleven is ultra sensitive this month but with an added advantage. The spiritual depth of the eleven overpowers the sensitivities of the two vibration to bring more clarity and understanding. As the spiritual guide Life Theme Number, the eleven will feel the urge to use the visionary six to lead the people. They are always wanting to help others on a more soulful level and everything they do is not about the fame or fortune but about the service. The eleven uses the creative visionary six month in a very different way than most Life Theme Numbers because they want to create not for personal gain but to see and create the bigger picture on a more global scale. Elevens are always thinking bigger and broader which is precisely what the visionary sixth month is all about. Elevens will really be stepping up to the plate this month as they’re being called to their post as guide now more than ever. The relationship shifting isn’t on a personal level but much more about the global community. The world is in crisis so the elevens are feeling their place in the world right now. Even if you don’t know exactly what you’re supposed to be focusing on, know that the call you are feeling is to be the global guide you were meant to be.

22/4: The twenty-two four is a unique combination this month because it contains the intuitive and sensitive two with the practical, foundation building and “doing” four. It’s the best of both worlds when it comes to utilizing the creative flow of the month. Intuition is the compass of creativity but in order to bring our ideas to life, we need to bring it into the physical reality. The twenty-two four combines both energies to perfectly orchestrate creative perfection. It will be exceptionally easy for you to manifest your goals into reality this month. Follow your gut, especially when it comes to relationship decisions because you have the practical energy to back you up. Your energy is like a train barreling down the tracks – unstoppable manifesting power. Anything you dream up in June, you can bring it to life.

33/6: Whoa! The powerful inspirational and imaginative power of the double threes and creative six of the thirty-three six is a creative powerhouse. Imagination is the tool of the creative essence and with a double dose of imaginative energy, the thirty-three six has limitless creative potential this month. Watch out for the negative double hoops of the multiple threes to set in though because when they get into self-doubting, self-criticizing mode, they can self-sabotage any creative energy you’re generating. You are the Master Teacher and the visionary. This month is about leading the people through your creative, nurturing guidance. Like the eleven Life Theme Number, you are being called to accept your post as a guiding force for others. You will use the creative energy this month to guide, nurture and inspire others. On the relationship side of things, be prepared to be more of the referee for others than to be successful in navigating your own challenges. You’re in guiding mode this month.

May 2013: Let Your Heart Lead the Way

written by Michelle Arbeau

Whatever you’ve been planning, contemplating or have started under the foundation building fourth month of April, you’ll feel free to move ahead with in a big way in May. Being the fifth month, May carries the heart and emotion centered freedom of expression number five. It is an erratic, free-flowing energy that breathes new life into any situation. Seeing through the lens of the heart and emotions can bring a sense of clarity and focus to the challenges or obstacles in front of you. The theme of this month is “Freedom”, especially when it comes to soulful expression related to career and life purpose. There is a tugging to step into your personal power and own who you truly are.

Emotions can run a tad on the erratic side this month, especially for the feeling or soul plane based Life Theme numbers. If you’re feeling like you’re on an emotional rollercoaster or more indecisive than usual, it’s the intensity of the emotionally centered five energy.

Five is one of the highest change frequencies and allows our heart to rule over our head. For the over-thinker, you are freed up to go with what feels right and a new sense of inner balance is emerging. For the feelers of the world, intense emotions could potentially cloud your judgment. Be careful to keep grounded by doing things that help you step outside your sometimes turbulent emotions. Things like walking in nature and meditation can go a long way to help center you. The physical based Life Theme Numbers are the ones who will feel the most balanced this month as their earthy foundation is infused with a sense of emotional freedom to create an action-packed month of soul-centered accomplishment.

Considering the World Year Number is a 6 and a big focus is on starting, ending, changing relationships, the heart-centered month of May could possibly be the most volatile for those with relationship challenges. The desire to be free from relationships that no longer serve your highest good will be front and center. Career wise, it’s the perfect time to take action because your soul is in the driver’s seat.

Aside from the ninth month of September, which is the highest change number, May is next in line for being a month of jam-packed change. Think soulful change this month and aligning with what you soul truly wants to express.

Calculating Your Number:

To calculate your Life Theme Number, add together each individual digit in your date of birth and then reduce to a single digit, like this:

DOB: 12-18-1975

1+2+1+8+1+9+7+5=34

3+4=7

This date of birth has a Life Theme Number of 7. Follow the same steps to calculate your own essence.

Individual Life Theme Number Forecast for May:

2: As the most sensitive number and the number of intuition, you’ll feel exceptionally ungrounded and emotionally touchy for the first part of May. Don’t let your emotions get the better of you. You’ll feel that life has swept you away but there is tremendous clearing happening for you this month. Things are bubbling to the surface to be healed and released. The second half of the month will be less intense and your intuitive side will again lead the way to help you move forward. Although May is typically career or life purpose focused, the two energy will be inward this month, focusing on re-aligning soulfully after debris has been cleared from the runway. For the two, outward changes are best made under grounded and earthy months like the 4 and 8 when emotions aren’t so turbulent.

3: Being the social butterfly number, threes are having the time of their lives this month. As the inspirationalist and number of imagination, the Life Theme Number threes are loving the jolt of freedom the fifth month injects. Inspired ideas, new projects and big dreaming are on the agenda. The social butterflies are spreading their wings this month. This will be a big month of idea generating – you’re unstoppable. Expect to have the rest of your year laid out by the end of the month. Threes can lean toward a “bi-polar” way of thinking – when they’re up, they’re really up and when they’re down, they’re really down. While in an erratic five month, be cautious not to act on many of your ideas because emotions can cloud good judgment but do use your sharp intellect to begin laying your master plan for the rest of the year. Your mind is free and going a mile a minute with inspired ideas.

4: The most logical and grounded of all the numbers will experience the fifth month as a time to really get down to business. The freedom of the five energy will make the Life Theme Number four want to take physical action. The “doers” of the world funnel the heart energy of the fifth month into immense physical action and expression. Restless energy may take over, causing agitation and pent up energy. Take advantage of the momentum and use it to pursue your dreams with gusto. You’re like a work horse this month, taking the freedom of expression energy to make it happen.

5: You’re in your element this month. It’s a double whammy energy for you and you’re feeling fine and fancy free. Empowered, confident and ready to take the bull by the horns. The negative side of the five energy is control so be cautious not to let that side of you make rash decisions and judgments. You are living completely through the energy of the heart and emotions this month which is your natural element but can be dangerous in such high doses. Rebellious energy is at an all-time high with your passionate side leading the way. Emotional clearing and career are top on the agenda this month. Focus on those two areas but be mindful that you are emotionally charged and could say or do things you don’t mean. Five in excess can turn to the negative qualities of the five which seeks to manipulate a situation in order to maintain freedom.

6: Romance and relationships are definitely front and center with career a close second for the six in May. Already feeling the tug to “nest” or be in a relationship if not in one, since the World Year energy is also a six, the Life Theme Number six will get serious about setting their sights on starting, ending or changing relationships. As the number of extremes, the six can get easily discouraged when it comes to love. Natural nurturers and perfectionists, they tend to attract “fixers” who are co-dependent. Resist the urge to get caught up in just the feeling of a connection and use your eagle’s eye skill as the visionary number to take a step back from the intensity of emotional energy this month to take in the bigger picture. Aside from relationship shifting, you’re in the zone for creative flow as the number of creative expression. As the fifth month, May carries the artist’s number which is perfect for the creative six to start new projects.

7: If you’re a seven, you might just be the most at ease of all the numbers this month. You’re a doer and a leaper (jump first, think later) and do well with erratic energy. Even though you’re the deep, philosophical number and can be quite analytical, when faced with turbulence inyour life, you don’t think twice about taking action. Seven and five like to be alone to sort things out and have very similar styles when dealing with life. For the sevens who have developed a deep sense of inner self-trust (sevens tend to have issues with trust), May will be a month of contemplating how you feel about many things in your life first and then putting those contemplative thoughts and emotions into action. For the seven who still struggles with trusting their inner guidance, it will be a month of retreat and pulling away to work through your current challenges in private with not much outer action involved. Either way, it’s a pivotal month for the seven in particular. There will be lots of shifting on an inner level but sevens are great at navigating the waters of change. Think of this month as a time to start steering your boat in a different direction.

8: Five and eight are the most independent and detached of all the Life Theme Numbers which means the eight is in a strong independent streak this month with all the freedom-seeking five energy floating around. You’ll want to break free from anything that has been holding you back, whether it is a job, relationship or location. Eights guard their independence at all costs so May will be a confident and active change month all around. In fact, you’ll be so confident and feeling empowered that it may lead to making arrogant decisions that you’ll later regret. Remain mindful of your motives so as not to let the power-seeking qualities of the five to take over this month. Keep that balance and you’ll be poised to go after your goals with doubtless confidence that you’ll succeed in whatever you set out to accomplish in May.

9: Of all the Life Theme Numbers, nine has the hardest time dealing with highly erratic and emotionally charged energies like the five. Nines are black and white, right and wrong justice seekers so the emotional ebb and flow of the five can be taxing on the more rigid nine who likes to rationalize everything. Although they can be big dreamers and outside the box thinkers at times, they have set beliefs and ideals of how life should be. May is definitely going to be a challenge for the nine as they will be pulled from the head to the heart this month. They will be outside their comfort zone and those around them will notice

10/1: The key trait of the ten is adaptability which is very much in alignment with the energy of May and it’s go with the flow five theme. At their core, the ten is a doing energy as the first physical plane number. When there is such freedom in the air, they want to be the pioneer they were born to be but always approach it from a light-hearted perspective. In the negative they can be over-driven and isolated in that drive so caution should be taken this month to not let the controlling nature of the five create a steamroller effect. Drive is good but in excess it can turn you into a tyrant. You’ll accomplish a lot this month in terms of physical action. It’s all about outer change for you this month. Not much in the way of thinking and more about just doing it. “Take action” is what the energy is asking of you this month. The great news is, you’ll be the least effected by all the erratic emotional energy out there. You’re feeling footloose and fancy free to go for it because you know what you want.

11/2: Sensitivity and indecisiveness will be a common theme among elevens this month. At the core of the eleven is two (1+1=2) which is the most sensitive and intuitive of all the soul plane numbers. Elevens are the Life Theme Number that tends to lose their way most often because they have such a large energetic aura, it can bowl not only others over with its power but also the elevens themselves. The five energy this month will make the elevens touchy and irritable. Career and life purpose have been tugging at the elevens since last fall in a big way but this month will carry an exceptionally powerful drawn to embrace what their soul is yearning to express. You’re being called to your post in a big way because you are the spiritual guide. Not every eleven is meant to be preaching from the mountaintop and there are many practical ways to express your guiding energy. May could be the push you need to step into your power and own it. The world needs you now.

22/4: There will be a tug of war going on within you this month as your double sensitive and intuitive twos want to retreat to go within and your base four energy wants to get out and enjoy the freedom of the fifth month. Don’t fight it but go with it as there will be days when you need to be still and others where you’ll be raring to go get what you want. As the Master Builder, you understand that not everything in life is built through physical action and there is a need for the thinking and planning stage too. Keep in mind it may feel like you’re all over the place and are swept away by the waves but there is a method to the energetic madness you’re feeling this month. It is a pruning energy, especially emotionally. You are clearing out debris to rebuild a new foundation. Your practical side resists but your intuitive side knows what it’s doing, even though it doesn’t seem to make sense. Go with it and know that it will make much more sense for you next month. Don’t make any major outward changes because you are making sense of the old to rebuild anew but the rebuilding isn’t ready to begin yet. Your scattered feelings and thoughts are a side effect of the tear down process and perfectly normal for a twenty-two four.

33/6: The thirty-three sixes are in high nurture mode, wanting to take care of the world. The five energy of May has them in a loving mode. Their double threes (number of inspiration and imagination) is gushing, wanting to show others how terrific they truly are. As the Master Teacher number, they are keen on being the natural guides and counselors, helping those who are lost. They will feel called to be in situations where they can talk and teach more, wanting to share of themselves readily this month as a means of guiding others. As the number of extremes, if the six is in a negative place in life, it could be a month of self-doubting and feelings of insecurity, particularly on the relationship front. This has been a big year of relationships for the thirty-three six because like the elevens, they are feeling the call to post career-wise. The relationship aligning is critical for this Life Theme Number in order to fully embrace who they are meant to be. It is a must for them to be surrounded by positive people, places and things or they will never achieve lasting success. Spend May using the emotional energy of the five to self-nurture as a means of understanding what energy you truly need in your life in order to thrive.

April 2013: From Cabin Fever to Spring Fever

written by Michelle Arbeau

April is the “doing” month and is one of the hardest working energies we’ll encounter all year. It’s no coincidence that many of us get spring fever, wanting to embark on spring cleaning (literally and figuratively) and developing a hankering to start new projects. The four frequency is all about pruning or “cleaning out our closet” to get rid of anything that no longer fits in our life. As the first physical plane number, four is also about getting down to business as the practical solid, hard working foundation number symbolized by the square and its four sides.

April is particularly pivotal this year considering we’re also in the midst of the creative visionary six energy of the World Year number of 2013. We’re able to see the broader perspective of what we need and want in our life. It’s time to revamp, reorganize and rebuild in a big way. More importantly, there is a draw to align on a much deeper soulful level because we can see from a bird’s eye view.

If there was ever an April to go for it, this is it. As souls in human form, we operate on three planes of existence: Mind, Soul and Physical. The fourth dimension represents the conscious or awakened being, merging the first three planes into a higher perspective fourth level. We are feeling the call to reinvent the wheel, utilizing the visionary six energy of 2013 through the take-action four energy of April.

With the Armageddon “end of times” energy of the Shift behind us from last year, we’re ready to pick ourselves up and create again but from a different vantage point. As this year progresses, we’ll see much more inventive energy coming in as the visionary six kicks into high gear. April is the first true “action” month since we’ve spent the first three months of the year in mostly contemplative or information gathering mode.

We’re feeling the call to join together as a global community through the nurturing, relationship oriented broader picture six vibe that 2013 carries. Things like the green movement, equality, and merging beliefs and ideals has never been closer to becoming a reality. It is truly a new age dawning.

Exactly how you’ll use the action-packed, pruning energy of April depends on your Life Theme Number (your main energetic essence) but one thing is for sure; the theme of April 2013 is ready, set…GO.

Calculating Your Number:

To calculate your Life Theme Number, add together each individual digit in your date of birth and then reduce to a single digit, like this:

DOB: 12-18-1975

1+2+1+8+1+9+7+5=34

3+4=7

This date of birth has a Life Theme Number of 7. Follow the same steps to calculate your own essence.

Individual Life Theme Number Forecast for April:

2: Pure twos are naturally intuitive and emotionally sensitive so the pruning and realigning focus of April will be honed on relationships with the self and others. As the number of harmony and cooperation, the two happily takes on the task of being the support for others in their lives. This month will cause them to be particularly sought out more than usual with requests for advice and counsel from those closest to them. On a personal level, during a consolidation month like April, emotions can be a tad erratic as the two sorts through and makes sense of things on an inner level. Using the grounded April energy to take nature walks, meditate or journal will go a long way in helping the sensitive two decide how to best use the doing energy of the four this month.

3: As the gateway to the mind plane and the number of imagination, this month threes are like a pent up horse at the starting gate. Their creative juices are flowing, having just left the intellectually charged third month of March. There’s no shortage of ideas floating around in their brain. April will be a networking and connection month for the threes as they use their power of unity to connect dots and bring their dreams to fruition. This is the month where the normally top-heavy intellectual three gets to directly tap into the four energy of the “doer” making a smooth path to manifest all that they desire into physical reality easily and rapidly.

4: The four is experiencing a double whammy this month. “Do, do, do” is what the four is yearning to do at the moment. Impatience is one of the challenge traits of the four so they aren’t usually keen on spending too much time thinking about what they want to do. However, as the most grounded of all the numbers, the four isn’t afraid of hard work, knowing more than anyone that it takes physical effort to accomplish our goals and dreams. Fours will spend April getting down to business and implementing their To-Do list and are super stoked about it. The four is in their element this month and feeling particularly powerful in their being.

5: Grounded, consolidative and contemplative energies are usually more difficult for the erratic and heart/emotion centered five to navigate. As the middle number on the soul plane and the “artist’s number”, the five may feel a bit restless and out of sorts from being anchored by the fourth physical frequency of April. One thing is for sure, as the freedom of expression number, fives don’t care to be restricted in any way. The key for the five is to remember that April’s four overtone isn’t tying down their flow but rather creating a clear channel to express in the physical sense and they should view it as an expression portal of sorts.

6: Considering the world year number is a six, the Life Theme Number six has a strong focus on relationships this year in general. During a foundation-building four energy such as April, the six will be feeling the tug more than ever to start building their own foundation. The “nesting” quality of the six will be activated and the urge to physically seek out companionship or even just the company of friends or those whose presence they feel good in will be on the top of their agenda in April. On the flip side, six is the creative visionary number so the desire to start new creative endeavors will also be front and center. Whether it’s on a personal level in relationships or wanting to create in a bigger, global way, the six will want to take full advantage of the ability to take action and shine as creative nurturer that they are this month.

7: The seven and the four energies are the two most active numbers on the physical plane. Sevens tend to leap first and think later so the fourth month acts as a springboard for action. Naturally contemplative as well, the seven is no stranger to the consolidative urgings of April’s four frequency. Of all the numbers, sevens will find this month most comfortable as they intuitively understand what the energies are asking of them. Four and seven are side by side on the birth chart and “get” each other on many levels. The active sevens are more than ready for action after spending the first three months in mostly self-reflective mode and they know just what to do with the energy of April.

8: Eights feel confident and vibrate in April. Four is half of eight and represents the more grounded and solid version of it. As the number of wisdom, independence and possessing a direct link to the divine, eight is totally tapped into the spiritual realm, bringing through wise words of wisdom effortlessly and regularly. Eights are known for saying the right things at the right time and can be quite talented in people-oriented professions and in business. The fourth energy of April is very grounding to the eight’s flow of wisdom and they will be standing tall in their role as the wise sage this month. Many will intuitively seeking out their advice and guidance as they sense the eight is in exceptionally tuned in right now.

9: As the black/white justice-seeking thinker and humanitarian as well as the most active number on the mind plane, the nine may have a harder time deciding what they should prune this month. Not particularly practical or physical by nature, the nine tries to rationalize the “just do it” energy of the four. April will provide some much needed grounding for nine’s idealism but the nine will resist the call to change more than the other Life Theme Numbers. It isn’t that they don’t want to change since nine is considered the highest change number, it is simply that they tend to have set ideals and beliefs about how things should be (and it can be difficult to change their mind). Top on the agenda for the nine this month is to focus on thinking less and doing more to fully take advantage of the opportunity to put their abundance of mental energy into active use.

10/1: Ten is dubbed the Earth Guide number because it combines the first physical plane energy of the one with the zero, the symbol of the infinite or spiritual awareness. One is the pioneering, trailblazing verbal self-expression number and many Life Theme Number ten’s are leaders in their own right (although they lead more through casual conversation). Key traits like adaptability and a practical undertone makes the ten a guide that gets in the trenches with the people rather than preaching from the mountain tops. Their guiding force is exceptionally strong anywhere practical, grounded, real life energy resides so April is a medium they can definitely work through. Although they have a strong spiritual side (the zero), when in a doing month like April, they are all about actively guiding from a physical perspective. Mentoring, teaching and sharing will be the draw for the ten this month.

11/2: Eleven is the highest spiritual number and often called the “Spiritual Guide” frequency guided by the intuitive and sensitive two as its core energy. Feeling a powerful inner calling to reflect and go within like the two, they will also utilize the practical doing energy of the fourth month to help others find balance with all the pruning and shedding of the old going on. Although not as grounded as the Earth Guide ten the elevens possess a deeper intuitive knowing that all is as it should be with the two at its base. On a personal level, they will share the same challenges of the two but on an outward level, they are being called to their guiding post to assist others in a big way this month.

22/4: Not only is the twenty-two four experiencing a double whammy like the four this month, it has a leg up with those intuition-based double twos. Navigating what, when and where to prune is much easier for the twenty-two four than any other combination of the four. Called the “Master Builder”, this four is all about helping others revamp, rebuild and restructure to be more in alignment with the desires of the soul, which is the theme of April. Sometimes those extra sensitive double twos can cause the intuition to become clouded from a personal perspective. Naturally doers who are guided by their intuition, the twenty-two four loses its solid footing when they live too much in the soulful twos. With April being the fourth month, the twenty-two fours are balanced with the extra added four energy (balanced 22/44) and are ready to roll up their sleeves to get the job done. It’s time to get on with it and “build” something!

33/6: As the nurturing, creative and visionary “Master Teacher” number, the thirty-three six is feeling the urge to get out there and share their wisdom this month. Always the inspirationalist, with double imaginative threes leading the way this Life Theme Number benefits greatly from physical grounding energies like this month’s four frequency. With the number of creation at its base (six), when the abundance of imaginative and intellectual energies of this Master Number are anchored in practicality, their creative power is positive and focused. The “Master Teacher” connects the dots for others utilizing their creative visionary talents. Called the number of extremes, the six can often get trapped in a pessimistic flow if it dips into the negative and they become self-sabotaging (Linday Lohan carries is a 33/6). This is particularly the case if they are not actively creating or are in a stalled or stagnant place in life. Thankfully that’s definitely not the case this month as the four overtone is whispering to the thirty-three six to go out and create.
