The Power and Limitations of Numerology
Numerology is an art thousands of years in the making. Like any Metaphysical science, it hinges on the understanding that all things are interconnected. Your numerology profile analyzes the connection between the letters and numbers linked to you, revealing your talents, strengths, weaknesses, emotions, preferences, and a range of other qualities.
To use an analogy, think of numerology's nine single-digit numbers as nine tubes of paint, each a distinctly different color. Imagine you are a work of art painted by a master artist who used every color available to create your image. The depiction is unique and complex: a fusion of bright and subdued colors, shapes and shadows, light and reflection, subtle and bold textures. The deeper you look, the more you perceive and appreciate the many layers that makeup who you are.
A comprehensive numerology profile, along with your honest reflection, can be a powerful self-help tool in identifying underlying traits and new possibilities. The better you know yourself, the more control you have over life's changes and the greater your potential for a successful, fulfilled life. Numerology is not infallible, nor does it promise to answer every question, but I feel confident you will find many things to contemplate in the following pages.
You are unique, and so is your Profile. We hope you enjoy your reading.
Your Personality Profile
Your Profile begins with insight gleaned from your name because that is where we learn WHO you are. It describes the talents, strengths, and other distinct characteristics you were born with. Just as your physical body grows and changes with time, so does your personality. Your personal evolution begins at the moment of your birth. From that point on, the choices you make, the goals you set, your environment, opportunities, challenges, the influence of others, and a thousand other factors alter who you become.
Your Personality Profile begins with an overview of the combined influence of the core numbers derived from your name: your Expression, Heart's Desire, and Personality. This has never been done before.
I hope you will take time to read and reflect on the information below. Many aspects become clearer with time and during subsequent readings. I wish you the best on your journey.

PART I: About You
Your Personality Profile is based on your full name at birth, your current name, and your date of birth. Your full name tells us who you are; think of it as your numerology-DNA. Your date of birth reveals your path and the patterns of your personal growth.
We start this report by looking at the most important numbers derived from your full name to throw light on who you are as a person.
HOW YOUR NAME NUMBERS STACK UP
Hafeez, we begin by taking a quick snapshot, a look at the influence and meaning of the three core numbers derived from your name. Your Expression number is the sum of the value of all the letters in your full name at birth. Your Heart's Desire is the sum of the vowels. Your Personality number is the sum of the consonants. These three numbers are closely linked and influence one another.
All the numbers derived from your name reflect YOU. They are a blueprint of your talents, shortcomings, character traits, and other qualities. You should realize that this is a limited perspective. Later chapters focus on the challenges and opportunities you will encounter on your path, and attributes you may acquire as time passes.
This first chapter is like a glance from a distance, followed by three chapters that explain the meaning of each number in more detail. We will gradually build a more complete picture of the complex and unique individual you are.
Your Core Name Numbers are 8, 22, 4
Hafeez, working together, your 8 Expression, 4 Heart's Desire, and 4 Personality expand the limits of what is possible for you to achieve to the extreme. (Your 4 Heart's Desire is based on the Master number 22, which we will discuss in more depth a couple of chapters further down.)
Your Expression number is the aspect that reveals your talents, abilities and shortcomings, especially as they relate to your career and productive life. An 8 in this position indicates you are a visionary, able to see the big picture and set goals far into the future. You are business oriented, with authoritative and leadership qualities. You are practical and realistic. Your strength lies in your ability to focus on tangible results, and measurable rewards, through money, property, or an accumulation of business assets. Yet, you are not as attached to the material world as many are. Your willingness to lose money or security in order to take risks on something new is the main reason your potential for success is high. You have the attributes of an entrepreneur.
Your 4 Heart's Desire, however, can put a damper on this entrepreneurial spirit. The 4 is a cautious, grounded, disciplined influence. It has managerial skills and is absorbed in the details of running a business. (The 8 grasps the big picture and is not concerned with specifics.) Possessing aspects of both traits could create conflict as well as opportunity.
Your Heart's Desire is the influence that describes your likes and dislikes and determines what makes you truly happy. A 4 in this position indicates you prefer to have everything organized, systematic and under your control. You are practical, methodical, and trustworthy. To be truly happy and fulfilled, you need to honor the traits of the 4.
The advice here is to find a balance between the two - the visionary 8 backed by the efficient, well-organized 4 can be a winning team.
Your 4 Personality (the side of you that others notice when you first meet) tells us you are reliable and prefer things to be predictable. Others likely view you as dependable and down to earth. These qualities fit well with your Heart's Desire. They help protect you from impulsive behavior, but they can frustrate the large-scale vision of your 8 Expression. With two 4's obscuring your 8 Expression, it may be difficult to move past your cautious inner voice in order to follow the promise of your larger (although riskier) vision. Strive for balance between these conflicting influences.
You should do well in your career, especially in a smaller, independent environment such as owning your own business or a small to midsize corporation. Large corporations will likely make you feel stunted and deprived of the opportunity to make a valuable contribution. Additionally, you are capable of running a more structured environment such as an institution or medical facility. The 8/4 combination is also found with many top-level athletes, as both are considered physical numbers. Any role in the sports field, including management or coaching, could be suitable.
You are probably a little too practical and down to earth to be considered the (demonstrably) romantic type. You may not be comfortable with emotions for the same reason. You are probably more of a no-nonsense type. However, when you do commit, you are capable of committing for life.
You will benefit more than most from a conscious effort to experience the non-physical world as much as possible. Art (especially dance and music), meditation, and philosophy can offset your serious, sensible, practical side.
Now let's look at each of your core numbers individually.
THE EXPRESSION
Your Expression number, calculated from your full name at birth, reveals the orientation or goal of your life. Some numerologists refer to this as your Destiny number because it represents a lifelong target at which you are aiming. Thus, the Expression number, to some extent, reveals the person you aim to be.
Your Expression is the most influential of the three characteristics that make up who you are. It is also the number with the most influence on your choice of career, although other aspects are important as well.
Your Expression is 71/8
You have the power and potential to achieve great things. It is both your challenge and your birthright to gain dominion over a small part of the earth. Whatever your enterprise, you strive to be the best and most successful in your field. You are highly competitive and will not rest until you are satisfied that you have bypassed the opposition. You enjoy challenges and rivalry. You are a realist and a visionary planner.
Money and authority are available to you if you are willing to discipline yourself -- generally an inborn talent -- and persevere in the face of the considerable obstacles in your path. You are dynamic and have a talent for efficiency. You understand the larger picture, see the broader challenges, and know how to marshal your collective resources to address the problems. You delegate responsibility well; it is best for you to leave many of the details to others.
You are a great leader of people and an outstanding judge of character. You are demanding of those who work for you, often putting things in no uncertain terms: do it my way or don't do it at all! At the same time, you don't hesitate to reward the faithful and hardworking employee. You are not a particularly tolerant leader; too much tolerance violates your sense of efficiency. You go directly after your goal with courage and tenacity.
You have a natural understanding of money, authority, and power. You are able to struggle consistently after your goal. Eventually power falls to you. Within you lies an innate balance between the higher and lower characteristics of man. Your challenge in life is to balance your higher ideals and your understanding of the hard realities of the earth.
Much effort will have to be put out and many ups and downs experienced before you reach the level of success you desire. Life will probably test you many times with obstacles that seem insurmountable. But in reality, these are merely opportunities for you to learn how to use power and authority in the face of difficulties, and to find out just how much power lies within you. It is crucial for your success that you balance the material and the spiritual. You have chosen a path that requires balance between giving and taking, reward and punishment, action and reaction. Despite the obstacles on your path, you are a true survivor.
When focused exclusively on your desire for results and success, you can become stubborn and intolerant; you can be driven by excessive ambition, causing you to be exacting and without perspective. Be careful of your alcohol consumption, a danger-zone for you. You can be a social drinker, mixing business with pleasure -- a dangerous cocktail.
An excellent manager, organizer and administrator you have talents in many areas of life. Entrepreneurs, executives, bankers, brokers, negotiators, gamblers, coaches, collectors, heads of institutions, builders, art dealers, manufacturers, promoters, military officers, police detectives, smugglers, engineers, pilots or sea captains.
You have been entrusted with special gifts, the use or abuse of which has an immediate and often physical effect upon you and those around you! Use these gifts for the good of mankind and accept your own good fortune with gratitude. This is your rewarding stage in your evolution.
THE HEART'S DESIRE
The Expression number described above points to a more productive side of your life. Your Heart's Desire reflects a deeper, inner you; it suggests an underlying urge, your true motivation, and the general intention behind many of your actions. It reveals the environment and lifestyle you prefer, as well as your likes, dislikes, and the type of people you are drawn to. Consequently, it dramatically influences the choices you make in life.
It makes sense that the vowels of your name are the foundation for your Heart's Desire. Vowels are the peaks and valleys of a language. Notice how vowels leave your mouth in a free-flowing breath. Try it: Aaaa.... Eeee.... Oooo.. Consonants though, are cut off either at the beginning or in the end.
You might say that it is in the flow of your breath that you express your deeper self.
Your Heart's Desire number is 22
Deep inside, you long to create something that will have a lasting impact on the world. Whether it is a political movement, a business, or a philosophy, you have a strong inner drive to manifest something of major importance.
Like the 11, yours is a Master Number, possessing all the intelligence, sensitivity, and electric creativity that such a power would suggest. You have the inventiveness of the 11 and the down-to-earth practicality of the 4. This combination can make you supremely capable of making your ambitions a reality.
The demands of this Heart's Desire are as enormous as its potential. What will be required from you to fulfill your noble ambitions is nothing less than a commitment of your entire being. The path you have chosen is not an easy one. You need time to develop, and you are unlikely to begin to fulfill your ambitions until after you have reached a certain level of maturity.
Whether you know it or not, you possess great power within your being. You were born with this power in a latent state, but on some level, you were aware of it. Early in life, this power manifested itself as awkwardness and a discomfort inside of you. Your self-image has always been one of contradictory extremes: on one hand you sensed your uniqueness and potential; on the other you may have felt insecure and perhaps even inferior. This paradox has caused waves of self-doubt and lack of confidence. But it also is a powerful generator of energy that, when combined with the higher characteristics of the 22, can become a dynamic and unrelenting force. To channel such great power, you need a noble goal for which to aim.
You will probably try your hand at several different kinds of work before you rise to the challenge of your true ambitions.
You can be a great leader, inspiring and motivating with your vision and work ethic. Your ideas are so creative and superior that they inspire enthusiasm and sometimes even devotion among your co-workers. You should be involved in large enterprises or governmental institutions. You have the organizational diplomatic skills sufficient to keep difficult and delicate projects on track. Once you come into possession of your full power, there are many psychological and spiritual pitfalls to be faced. You can become arrogant and superior. You can become deluded into thinking that your judgment is beyond question, and that the advice and support of others is unnecessary. You may seek to control all power in a given enterprise.
This dangerous and egocentric attitude is sometimes even extended to family members who you may seek to keep under your thumb.
Your challenge, once you have begun to use your true gifts, is to remain humble in the face of your significant accomplishments.
You perform best when your domestic foundation is stable and supportive; it is very important to have a partner who shares your dreams and has high degree of strength and independence to keep up with your drive.
Challenges somehow draw the best out of you. Your human qualities -- creativity, humility, understanding, and compassion -- increase with the level of your performance. Therefore, commitment to excellence is central to your success and inner development.
THE PERSONALITY
The consonants of your full name at birth are the foundation of your Personality number, which is a little like a narrow entrance hall to the great room that is your true nature. It's the outer layer of your personality, the part you feel comfortable sharing. With time and trust, you invite others into the deeper aspects of your nature.
Your Personality number serves as a censoring device in terms of what you send out, as well as whom and what you allow to approach. For this reason, your Personality is usually narrower and more protective in its definition than the real you. It also gives an indication of how others perceive you.
Your Personality number is 49/13/4
You radiate reliability and consistency. People trust you and feel secure with your judgment. You are seen as a cornerstone of a business and are relied upon to do your work efficiently and expertly. You have strength and respectability. You tend to dress in a utilitarian manner, concerned mostly with convention, practicality, durability, and price. You present yourself as someone who values correctness, control, and precision.
All of this stems from the fact that your most prized characteristic is your work. You want to be judged on the basis of your performance, rather than your appearance. You are frugal and have learned to respect a dollar. You are concerned about the security of your future and those you love. However, this may appear to others as a bit too austere.
You tend to wear earth colors and conventional attire. You could benefit by putting a little flair in your dress. Wear more uplifting colors. Loosen your dress with less severe lines. If you wear a brown suit, include a bright tie or some jewelry.
You are a family person. You love the intimacy, consistency, and the security a family provides. You are a good provider and protector. But family members may take your efforts for granted.
You are a true patriot. You love your country and are an integral part of your community. Your consistency and adherence to your well-laid plans usually pays off in a comfortable and secure future.
THE HEART'S DESIRE - PERSONALITY BRIDGE
A Bridge number is based on the numerical difference between two closely related aspects in your chart. It is the gap you need to "bridge" in order to create a more harmonious bond between the two areas.
The following Bridge number connects your Heart's Desire and Personality numbers. It suggests things you can do to help your deeper self to align more closely with your personality; the "outer" you that is apparent to others.
With a little exaggeration, you could say that your Personality number is somewhat like your mask; it's a more superficial aspect you reveal to the world. You can imagine how much more comfortable and less inhibited the experience of life becomes when you can align your authentic self with the personality you show to the world.
Your Heart's Desire - Personality Bridge number is 0
The single digit values of your Heart's Desire number and your Personality number are the same.
This is considered fortunate. You are a WYSIWYG: "What You See Is What You Get." You easily make people feel comfortable around you. However, if your Life Path number or your Expression number are also identical to your Heart's Desire number and your Personality number, your chart may be somewhat off balance. This may cause you to push the aspects of the repeated number to excess.
Read your Heart's Desire number again and ask yourself if you have not focused too much on the aspects described, at the cost of a more balanced approach.
PART II: THE PATH YOU ARE ON
If there was ever a moment of transformation, it was the moment of your birth. In that instant, you stepped into a new reality - the reality of human life and human consciousness. Even at that moment you were a person with your own unique character, as unique as your DNA. The previous chapters focused on YOU, the person you are, as revealed in the letters of your name. It is now time to look at your Path, the road you walk through life, using the numbers found in your date of birth.
Your first breath marked the beginning of your journey on the road we call your Life Path. It makes sense, then, that the most important number in your numerology chart comes from the date of your birth. Your Life Path number gives a broad outline of the opportunities, challenges, and lessons you encounter throughout your life. It also reveals the strengths, specific talents, and characteristics you were given to help you overcome challenges and evolve into the best you can be.
THE LIFE PATH
Your Life Path number is considered the single most significant information available in your Personality Chart. It is derived from the total of all numbers found in your date of birth. However, it is important to keep in mind that the aspects described in the next few chapters will either complement, supplement, or sometimes weaken the attributes revealed in numbers derived from your name.
Your Life Path number is 6
You possess great compassion and seek to be of service to others. You have concern for the weak and the downtrodden. You are a healer and a helper to others. You are capable of giving comfort to those in need and will frequently offer a shoulder for others to cry on. Your task in life is to develop the tools necessary to be truly helpful to others, rather than to simply be a sympathetic ear.
You must find the balance between help and interference. In the same way, you must learn the delicate art of the counselor who knows when to leave the struggle to others and when to avoid taking away the necessary experiences and lessons of life. You are naturally balanced. Therefore, you are well equipped to support and ground others in times of trial.
It is in your nature to take on responsibility -- you often fill the void left by others -- and do not turn away from personal sacrifice. At times, you may feel overburdened by the travails of others. However, the love others bestow upon you is your well-deserved reward. You try to maintain harmony within the family or group, balancing and fusing divergent forces. You seek marriage and are often a wonderful parent, offering warmth, protection, and understanding to children.
You are generous, kind, and attractive. You are often admired even adored which baffles you. You are humble and yet you carry a deep pride. You move well and gracefully but will have to work to stay in shape. Seek out physical exercise and limit the sweets and dairy you crave to keep yourself from becoming plump and round.
When young, you must be careful not to choose partners for the wrong reasons. Do not let sentimentality influence your decision, especially those involving the choice of a spouse. You need to be needed but must learn to discriminate between those you can help and others who are made weaker by your care. After all, it is in your nature to be attracted to the weaker brothers and sisters among us.
The temptation, and the danger for you, is to think of yourself as the savior of the world, carrying the burdens of others on your shoulders.
You are blessed with musical talent, as well as in the visual and performing arts. However, your creativity may well be suppressed due to your willingness to sacrifice, or your inability to fully appreciate your talents.
This is not to say that you cannot excel in these areas; on the contrary, you have the talent, and with effort you can make a success in a number of artistic fields. You also have enormous talent in business. You are blessed with a great deal of charm and charisma, which you use effectively to attract the people and support you need.
THE BIRTH DAY NUMBER
The day you were born bears great significance in understanding who you are and where your talents lie. Your day of birth indicates special talents you possess. It gives us an indication of the approach you will take toward the goals, opportunities and obstacles you encounter on your Life's Path.
Your Birth Day number is 2/2
You are sensitive, intuitive, and diplomatic. You are aware of your surroundings and easily influenced by your environment. You love beauty and attention. Your sensitivity makes you highly emotional and vulnerable to being hurt. You can fall victim to depression and lack of confidence.
Your talents lie in personal relations and diplomatic skills. You are keenly aware of what is on the minds of others and can usually adjust to create peace and harmony with others. In the same way, you possess the art of a diplomat, helping others find the middle ground and area of agreement. You may also possess artistic and musical ability.
You are warm and affectionate and need the same from your close friends and loved ones. You want to be hugged and cuddled. There is a tendency to fall into childhood patterns when giving and receiving affection. You like to be made to feel secure and safe.
You are very cooperative and work best in partnerships. You enjoy being the power behind the throne, rather than the figure on stage. You are modest and kind. You have great diplomatic skills. Your intuition allows you to perceive what another wants even before he or she says it. You are the glue that keeps important projects and groups together. While you may not get all the credit you deserve, you are indispensable in any endeavor.
You can continue a project better than start it. You are very attentive to details. You need harmonious and peaceful environments. Without them, you can easily become stressed and high-strung.
THE LIFE PATH - BIRTH DAY BRIDGE
Your Life Path and Birthday numbers are closely connected and influence each other. This Bridge explains how you can make the connection between them more harmonious.
Your Life Path - Birthday Bridge number is 4
Your 4 Bridge tells us that your Life Path and Birth Day numbers will be brought into more harmonious affiliation if you take a disciplined, coordinated approach to your endeavors. In your case, the need to be in accord with the natural timeline of events is particularly important. Procrastination affects everyone, but you will feel the consequences of inaction more strongly. Handling issues in a timely manner prevents chaos and increases the influence you will have on your own circumstances.
Another aspect of a 4 Bridge is the need to keep a close eye on the small, seemingly trivial, details. Everything about your 4 Bridge points to the benefits of running a tight ship.
CHALLENGES; YOUR FIRST CHALLENGE
You face four specific Challenges in your lifetime. For many of us, the same challenge is repeated, while others have four distinctly different lessons to learn.
These Challenges place you in situations that require you to face the particular lesson at hand. This provides an opportunity for you to learn or better integrate personal traits that will benefit you during the lesson, and throughout your life.
The four Challenges in your chart will influence you during the periods of your life listed below.
The duration of your First Challenge usually lasts from birth until age 30 to 35.
Your First Challenge is 1
You must learn to be independent. You will be forced to stand up for yourself and your rights. You will be faced with situations in which you will have to choose between standing up for what you think is right versus giving in to another person's demands. You will have to struggle to strengthen and know your own will power. You will have to learn to be firm and trust your judgment. Don't run with the crowd, be an individual.
This whole lesson represents the frontiers of your consciousness. Therefore, you will have to experience much trial and error, sometimes exploding with bursts of aggression, other times being intimidated and letting frustration and anger build within you until you are ready to act on your deepest instincts. You will learn your own set of values; you will develop into an individual with original and innovative ideas.
THE SECOND CHALLENGE
Your Second Challenge is in place from approximately age 30 through 55.
Your Second Challenge is 1
Hafeez, you are repeating your First Challenge
THE THIRD AND MAIN CHALLENGE
This Challenge carries much weight and will be felt throughout your life. For that reason, it is also called the Main Challenge.
As you master this challenge and incorporate its positive aspects into your character, your life gradually feels more in control. There is a chance for great reward implicit in this challenge. In short, it may offer the secret to your success.
Your Third and Main Challenge is 0
This is a less demanding challenge. Growth is allowed to take place without one particularly serious obstacle. This does not mean that there will not be challenges on your path, but there is no single and consistent challenge during this period. However, you are being challenged to stay faithful and focused on your highest ideals.
There is an opportunity to go deeper within yourself, and discover the inner being that is you.
THE FOURTH CHALLENGE
Your Fourth Challenge is most strongly felt during the latter part of your life, beginning at approximately age of 60.
Your Fourth Challenge is 2
You are overly sensitive and too aware of other peoples' expectations. You suppress yourself to avoid feeling conspicuous. You can be overwhelmed by self-consciousness. You fear gossip about you. As a result, you become inhibited. All of this results in a suppression of your own individuality and uniqueness. You yearn to blend into the crowd.
You let your own feelings and emotions play too big a role. Your hypersensitivity causes fear, timidity and lack of self-confidence. And you experience unnecessary fear and emotional turmoil. Little things seem disproportionately difficult to overcome and sometimes have a paralyzing effect. Jealousy can cause much pain and misunderstanding.
These negative aspects of the challenge actually spring in part from positive characteristics you possess, especially your acute awareness and intuition. You are an antenna for other people's feelings; you know before a word is spoken how they feel.
You lack the inner strength to maintain your own center and try to conform to the prevailing emotional atmosphere.
This challenge makes you understanding and compassionate; you have an enormous empathy for the inner turmoil of others and can do much good for people with emotional problems.
PART III: YOUR PATH AND YOU
We have focused on the letters of your name and the numbers from your date of birth. We will now look at numbers in your chart derived from the combination of both your name and the date of your birth. Acquiring the attributes described in the next few chapters will help smooth your progress. As you learn more about yourself, you may begin to recognize traits you were previously unaware of.
THE LIFE PATH - EXPRESSION BRIDGE NUMBER
This Bridge has the potential to "close the gap" between the Life Path and the Expression numbers. The chapter explains how you can make your talents, strengths, and specific abilities (your Expression number) more readily available and fitting to your goals and personal growth.
Your Life Path - Expression Bridge number is 2
Your 2 Bridge number brings relationships to the foreground. It points to a need for clarity and confidence, while remaining sensitive and intuitive. Your Life Path and Expression suggest a fear of creating disharmony when you are pursuing your goals and desires. This is usually unwarranted, but there is a point that relates directly to these concerns.
A 2 in this position suggests you need to work on becoming a better listener. If you practice the art of listening, your friends and partners will feel acknowledged, and you will become clearer and more confident when expressing yourself.
MATURITY NUMBER
Your Maturity number indicates an underlying wish or desire that gradually surfaces at around age 30 to 35. A direction begins to emerge as you gain a better understanding of yourself. With this self-knowledge comes a greater awareness of who you are, and the direction you want to set for your life.
Your Maturity number is 14/5
There is no slowing you down as you enter maturity. Your influence grows as you become more dynamic and versatile. You now begin to realize your lifelong goal of freedom. There will be travel and adventure, exciting and unexpected events. Your originality, creativity, and verbal abilities grow stronger. You will become interested in areas you never before considered. You may tend to become restless and impatient. You may quickly lose interest or become bored with projects that progress slowly. Perseverance is tested, especially because you may find it easy to abandon things that no longer hold your interest. You will have to work to maintain your concentration, discipline, and focus. Do not scatter your energy over to many interests. This is especially the case with people who have several 5s in their chart, especially among the core numbers.
For those with few fives, the increasing ability to adapt to change and the willingness to take risks provides much spice to life.
PERIOD CYCLES; YOUR FIRST PERIOD CYCLE
Like most stories, there are three distinct stages of your life. Your First, Second, and Third Period Cycles come from your month, day, and year of birth respectively. Together they form the foundation of your Life's Path.
The First Cycle begins in childhood and lasts through your late 20's. It's a quest for knowledge and identity while you cope with the powerful forces that are present in your environment. These forces include your parents and the socio-economic conditions of your family, for example.
The Second Cycle covers the middle period of your life, bringing about the slow emergence of your individual and creative talents. This cycle begins in the early and mid-30's while struggling to find your place in the world. The late 30's, 40's, and 50's, bring a greater degree of self-mastery and influence over your environment.
The Third Cycle starts approximately age 55, and represents a flowering of your inner self as your true nature comes to fruition. It is during this period that you have the greatest degree of power and self-expression.
Your First Period Cycle runs from birth until your mid 30's.
Your First Period Cycle is 1 and lasts until age 30
The first part of your life, through your late 20's or early 30's, is a period of much intensity. When the 1 dominates, it requires fortitude, courage, and flexibility. You are forced to use every one of your talents to achieve individuality and independence. This is a period of integration and focusing on your life's dreams.
Your ability to stay the course is repeatedly challenged, but adequate resources become available to assist you. Resilience, independence, and fortitude are required. As you strengthen these characteristics, they become an integral part of your personality and help you to emerge stronger for it. This cycle marks a time of progress in your development.
SECOND PERIOD CYCLE
Your Second Period Cycle runs from your mid 30's until your late 50's.
Your Second Period Cycle is 2
The middle part of your life is a period for learning to tune into your sensitive, intuitive side. You are drawn to interact with people on a personal level. You recognize the subtle signs that reveal what others are experiencing, and your ability to influence people improves. You become more diplomatic and tactful and are able to diffuse potentially troubling situations.
However, you may also feel you are growing more fragile. Emotions play a large role during a 2 Period. It is your challenge to maintain a realistic perspective, and to stay grounded. Devoting time to the arts, especially music, ballet, theater, and other performing arts, helps you feel connected and involved.
THIRD PERIOD CYCLE
Your Third Period Cycle covers the later part of your life, starting in your early 60's.
Your Third Period Cycle is 3
The latter part of your life finds you "growing older" more slowly than your peers. The excitable, scattered, creative energy of the 3 can resemble an elixir from the fountain of youth. However, there is a tendency to waste time and energy on unproductive projects.
You have many original ideas, but you may have difficultly differentiating between lead balloons and those that can fly. Your 3 energy is uplifting and motivating, which draws people to you. However, staying focused may be a challenge, which could affect your ability to reach your goal.
Your need to express yourself through art, especially the verbal or performing arts increases with age.
PINNACLE CYCLES; YOUR FIRST PINNACLE CYCLE
Although Pinnacle Cycles and Period Cycles are both derived from your date of birth, they differ in the way you experience them. Period Cycles, described above, reflect internal stages of growth. Pinnacle Cycles represent the external influences you encounter in life.
Pinnacles reveal general conditions and events you experience during each period, such as your environment, social conditions, relationships, and changing circumstances. Pinnacles reveal how you might respond to these influences and how they will affect your ever-evolving personality.
The transition from one Pinnacle to the next is usually strongly felt. You begin to feel the transition from one Pinnacle to the next approximately two years in advance. The latter part of that two-year period can be particularly strong. You will likely make life-altering decisions, such as marriage, a job or career change, or major changes in your personal makeup.
Knowing and understanding your approaching Pinnacle number prepares you for the changes ahead. Perhaps the most strongly felt change is the transition from First to Second Pinnacle, which usually takes place in your late 20's or early 30's (the exact date depends on your Life Path number). This is usually a difficult transition but once crossed, provides a clear sense of direction and a firmer sense of identity.
Your First Pinnacle cycle is 3 and runs from birth until approximately age 30
This is a highly creative period. Your self-expression is greatly enhanced. Your creative and artistic talents will peak. You should do everything possible to refine these abilities and make the most of them. Many under the 3 Pinnacle are drawn to writing, the theater, singing, and dance. Your chances of success are also heightened. Hard work in any artistic field that one has a talent for can result in much reward. This is also a highly social and emotional time. You attract friends and admirers with your charm and gregarious nature. You have the ability to inspire and motivate people. Your upbeat energy causes people to want to work with and for you.
This is a lucky period, as well. You can overcome problems with considerably less effort than in the past. All of this can lead to self-indulgence and lack of productivity. Life is a little easier, which can make you less vigilant. You need focus and discipline. Under the influence of this Pinnacle, hard work is the key and the challenge to making the most of your opportunities.
Be careful of impulsive behavior or doing things on a lark. You must know your limits during this period. Be careful of your money; balance your accounts. Guard against disorderly thinking and behavior. Otherwise, you may do things you regret or simply squander away so many opportunities.
Children born under this Pinnacle must be disciplined and kept from being spoiled. An early education in the arts will inspire the child to make the most of his or her artistic talents.
THE SECOND PINNACLE CYCLE
Your Second Pinnacle Cycle lasts nine years and tends to have a considerable influence on your productive/professional life.
Your Second Pinnacle cycle is 5 and runs from age 30 until age 39
This is a period that will teach the realities of freedom and expansion. You will travel great distances, meet many new and interesting people, experience many adventures, and essentially come to know the world. You are in a period of accelerated experimentation and learning. Experience is your teacher. Your ability with words is greatly increased. You can write and speak with ease. You are also able to successfully promote yourself. In fact, this is the source of much adventure; new opportunities for work, travel, and exotic experiences present themselves with regularity.
Your challenge is to prevent yourself from becoming a rolling stone. You need to ground yourself in a particular discipline, career, or relationship. This will not limit your freedoms so much as give you a base for operation. Otherwise, you may find yourself skipping from one meaningless job to the next, one superficial relationship after another. You can also fall victim to the abuse of food, alcohol, sex, or drugs. You must accept limitations as a necessary base for your freedom. Freedom cannot exist without limitations, otherwise you would be without identity, and without existence.
You may fear being anchored or tied down, which can cause you to skim the surface of a pursuit you enjoy, or important relationships. You must come to know the true meaning of freedom, which is unconditional love. You give your love and energy without the condition of holding on to a place, a person, or an occupation; and you expect the same in return -- to be loved for what you are, rather than someone who belongs to another. There is a highly spiritual path offering itself that requires detachment without loss of love. Many turn away from this and instead choose to maintain a superficial relationship with the world, or with other people.
You must cultivate your talents, especially your verbal and writing abilities. You are likely a gifted salesperson, or promoter.
THE THIRD PINNACLE CYCLE
Your Third Pinnacle Cycle also lasts nine years. Like your Second Pinnacle, its effect is felt primarily in your career or business environment.
Your Third Pinnacle cycle is 8 and runs from age 39 until age 48
Hafeez, under the influences of this Pinnacle, you will have greatly enhanced talent for dealing successfully with business and finances. This is a time of material growth, a time of expansion and reward. It is the cycle of harvest. The 8 Pinnacle also increases your personal power. You have sound judgment and vision. In fact, this is the basis of your financial success. People sense your power and effectiveness. They defer to you much more easily and look to you for answers. This makes it easier for you to use power without having to be a bully or force your way through situations. They perceive your able-ness and want to join you in your vision. Others have faith in you.
You will be able to organize large enterprises. Problems do not threaten you so much as provide a challenge. You yourself sense your enhanced personal powers and feel a growing sense of stability and centeredness. You will be capable of influencing matter in an almost magical way. As a result, you are extremely goal oriented, moving toward the realization of your dreams with confidence and clarity. Your challenge during this period is to maintain a hold on your human and spiritual values. You must remain balanced between heaven and earth. There will be enormous temptations to make money and status your only priorities, excluding the more human or immaterial matters entirely. This will undoubtedly lead to losses. You are being tested and instructed in the real value of money -- it's natural place in life. If money is placed on a high altar, overshadowing all other facets of life, you will become its slave. If you are balanced in your approach to money, and have proper perspective, this can be a truly rewarding period, both materially and spiritually. That is the true promise of the 8.
The number 8 symbolizes the balance between the finite and infinite, matter and spirit. It offers a great opportunity to grow.
THE FOURTH PINNACLE CYCLE
Your Fourth Pinnacle Cycle lasts for the rest of your life.
Your Fourth Pinnacle cycle is 4 and runs from age 48 until age death.
This is a Pinnacle of hard work and many rewards. You have the opportunity to build a foundation that will last. Your ability as an organizer, manager, or simply the rock of any institution is greatly increased. You are dependable and reliable. Your ability to fulfill responsibilities is likewise enhanced. As a result of your industry and perseverance, success is well within your reach. It is a step-by-step process in which you build something by small bricks laid one after another.
You will find yourself caring for others in a very material way. Family and in-laws can be burdensome, since you are seen as the cornerstone of the foundation.
Your life is preoccupied with details and responsibilities that must be taken care of. You have set in motion projects that are your children, demanding your constant attention. While there are many rewards, there are also many frustrations. Your sense of your own limits and the consuming nature of details may at times seem overwhelming. You must remember that things that last require slow growth. You may mistakenly believe that your progress should be faster or happen with greater ease. The need for efficiency, orderliness, and methodical systems limit your creativity. Your challenge is to be flexible and adaptable. Learn to play more and allow yourself to be more spontaneous.
Children born under this Pinnacle will tend to be serious and affected by the financial limitations of their parents. The child may feel the need to leave home early and start a family of his own. He or she must be encouraged to be more farsighted and flexible. The child should avoid jumping into the harsh realities of life too soon.
PART IV: Specifics About You
Although the following chapters deal with less dominant aspects of your chart, they are more narrowly defined and specific in the ways they affect you.
THE RATIONAL THOUGHT NUMBER
Your Rational Thought number comes from combining the sum of your birthday number with the sum of your first name. It reveals the style or process you use when making choices or considering a problem. Are you a structured, logical thinker or do you ponder a question in a creative, abstract manner? Do you daydream or stick to deductive reasoning?
Your Rational Thought number suggests the general approach you take in your thought process.
Your Rational Thought number is 8
You are the visionary, and you focus on the larger picture. You ignore the details in favor of spectacular solutions. You love to blow someone's mind.
You understand the balance between the rational and the irrational, and you have no problem combining the two. You have a vivid imagination and you are often surprised that others don't immediately grasp a concept that seems clear and logical to you. You have little patience when others allow fear and caution to slow down a project.
THE BALANCE NUMBER
Your Balance number provides guidance on how to best deal with difficult situations.
People experience a variety of internal responses to life's challenges. Some step back from difficult situations to ponder a course of action while others withdraw to avoid uncomfortable emotions. Some explode with anger but allow the outburst to pass quickly while others let their feelings linger.
Very often, these are conditioned responses that emerge without thought or analysis. With maturity and self-development, we incorporate new and more effective methods of handling situations we encounter.
Your Balance number is 3
Hafeez, be more lighthearted and optimistic in your approach to problems. Try to work with others toward a mutually satisfying solution. Use your considerable charm to influence the situation.
You can be extremely emotional when faced with a problem. Try to control this tendency; you need a degree of objectivity. You may become too personally attached to the solution you seek, thus failing to see that the outcome can be beneficial to all concerned.
THE HIDDEN PASSION
Your Hidden Passion reveals specific strengths or talents that are available to you, such as a specific field of expertise or (as the name implies) a passion. Metaphorically, this talent or passion may be seen as having a power all its own to help shape your life.
Having a talent demands that you nurture and express it. Your Hidden Passion gives you the desire to develop and express your particular ability. In this way, it shapes your personality and guides your life.
Your Hidden Passion number is 5
You love travel, change, and new challenges. You are highly adaptable and versatile. You have a talent for languages and are generally good with words. Writing, promotion, and public relations work suit you perfectly. You are resourceful and original. You have a good sense of humor and a quick tongue.
You are sensual and a bit impulsive. You love to satisfy your senses, which can get you into trouble. Overindulgence in food, drink, sex, and drugs are common among people with too many 5s -- six or more.
Your desire for freedom is extremely strong and it will take effort and discipline to stick with whatever it is you started. There is a tendency to give up a project or situation prematurely. Hafeez, you may be interested in too many things, which can make it hard for you to apply yourself to one area successfully.
Commitment in relationships and your work is fundamental to your happiness. You may tend to wander from person to person, job to job, making depth of relationship or deep expertise difficult.
KARMIC LESSONS
Karmic lessons are recognized by the absence of certain letters in your name and describe areas we are weak in that require recognition and effort to overcome.
The letters in your name point to talents and abilities that you possess; tools that are available to you. Missing letters imply tools that are unavailable, they must be learned and mastered during your lifetime.
You can have more than one Karmic Lesson or, if every number is represented your name, you don't have any.
Although you may feel you have learned to overcome one or more of your Karmic Lessons, you will continue to be challenged by them throughout your life.
Your Karmic Lesson is 2
You must learn to be more diplomatic and tactful, to stay in the background when necessary and sometimes to accomplish something without the need to be praised and rewarded. Learn to be part of a team. You must learn to be more sensitive to other peoples' needs and feelings. You will regularly find yourself in a situation where the only road to success is through patience and attention, requiring you to work closely cooperatively with others.
The effects of this Karmic Lesson are diminished if you have at least one 2 among your core numbers (Life Path, Birthday, Hearts Desire, Expression, or Personality Number).
Your Karmic Lesson is 3
You are highly self-critical. Every time you find yourself at the center of attention, you manage to find something in your performance to be entirely inadequate or embarrassing. You have established an impossible standard of perfection as the only measure of your actions.
You need to lighten up on yourself. Realize that you have within you a critical faculty that must be contained and controlled. Otherwise, it can prevent you from doing what you truly enjoy in life. You're too serious. Be more optimistic and cheerful, enjoy life as it was meant to be and share this joy with others.
Life will put you in situations that require imagination and communication. You will be tested in these areas. You will be forced to face the challenge.
Missing threes will often produce artists, but their success requires much work and perseverance.

Otherwise, you will feel lost and tossed about by change. You have trouble finding the work you do best. You tend to be somewhat impractical and disorganized.
You look for the answers to life's problems outside yourself, rather than within. New jobs start off as The Answer, but do not have the same glamour for long. You quickly discover that the new work requires the same effort and perseverance, without the excitement you expected, which may cause you to give up too soon.
Concentration and application need to be strengthened.
The effects of this Karmic Lesson are diminished if you have at least one 4 among your core numbers (Life Path, Birthday, Hearts Desire, Expression, or Personality Number).
Your Karmic Lesson is 7
You need to deepen your knowledge and talents in a specific discipline. You lack the will or determination to perfect yourself or a specific talent you possess. You must learn to be your own critic, without self-condemnation, in order to bring your abilities to their full development. You will learn not to take things at face value. A superficial understanding of important matters will prevent you from experiencing the satisfaction of your true potential.
The effects of this Karmic Lesson are diminished if you have at least one 7 among your core numbers (Life Path, Birthday, Hearts Desire, Expression, or Personality Number).
Your Karmic Lesson is 9
You must learn to be more compassionate, tolerant, and understanding. You have to learn to identify with the trials of others. There will be times when you will have to sacrifice some egocentric ambition for the good of a particular project or some larger goal.

Therefore, you hold back your efforts at helping people, or furthering a particular social cause. You have an issue with commitment to community or mankind.
The effects of this Karmic Lesson are diminished if you have at least one 9 among your core numbers (Life Path, Birthday, Expression, Hearts Desire, or Personality Number).
THE CORNERSTONE
The first letter of your first name gives an additional indication of your character, particularly in the way you approach opportunities and obstacles. This first letter is called your Cornerstone.
Your Cornerstone is H
You are creative and original. You make and lose money easily. However, you will probably do well financially in the long run. You are independent and you rely on your own judgment. You may be a loner. Skepticism and self-doubt are your greatest enemies. You need time in nature to feel your true self and re-establish your direction and clarity.
THE SUBCONSCIOUS SELF
Your Subconscious Self is based on how many numbers are represented in your name, and indicates your ability to make the most of your talents and opportunities, especially when you face new, challenging, or even dangerous circumstances.
Your Subconscious Self number is 4
You may tend to lose yourself in trivial details, causing confusion and indecisiveness, and even paralyzing your ability to react quickly and forcefully. You have to learn to trust your instincts and to act quickly. Hesitation and procrastination have to be avoided.
You need a solid foundation in your life. You need a family and work-environment in which you have responsibility, dependents, and the rewards that come with completing specific tasks.
PLANES OF EXPRESSION; THE PHYSICAL PLANE
You experience life on four different levels: physical, mental, emotional, and intuitive. Your Planes of Expression indicate how you function on each of these planes.
Your physical plane links you to the material world.
Your mental plane, like the emotional and intuitive, perceives the invisible world; the realm of thought and reason.
Your emotional plane is preoccupied exclusively with feelings.
Your intuitive plane gives you access to the insight and knowledge that comes effortlessly as if placed at the doorstep of your mind.
In each category, the number of letters, and their numerical value, gives an indication of which Planes of Expression are stronger in you and which are weaker. Each of us is dominated by one or two of the first three planes. The physical and mental are the most widely used, although a name dominated by emotional letters is not uncommon. The intuitive plane is usually the least utilized. A name dominated by intuitive letters is extremely rare but having no intuitive letters in a name does occur. This does not mean a lack of intuition but points toward a tendency to ignore or distrust intuitive insights.
The Physical Plane represents the physical letters in your name.
Your Physical Plane of Expression is 20/2
You are highly sensitive and at various times in your life probably suffered from shyness and lack of self- confidence. You may feel vulnerable physically but are quite tough. Your strength is in persistent but gentle effort. You tend to worry too much. You can suffer from bouts of fear, based largely on your lack of confidence in your own personal power. You are good at gathering information with a keen eye for detail. Once you gain some confidence in yourself, you begin to move with a natural grace and sense of rhythm.
THE MENTAL PLANE
The Mental Plane is based on the mental letters in your name.
Your Mental Plane of Expression is 23/5
Hafeez, you have a quick and highly versatile mind. You can absorb great quantities of information quickly and retain the important points. You are impatient with routine procedures and will rebel if forced to conform to any existing pattern for very long. You like to be involved in several projects at the same time. You are dynamic and resourceful.
THE EMOTIONAL PLANE
It is not uncommon for a person to have a name dominated by emotional letters.
Your Emotional Plane of Expression is 16/7
You are emotional and need love, but you have trouble expressing your feelings. You tend to hold back, rather than risk being hurt. This causes others to think you are a bit cool or withdrawn, but in fact you are more likely to have powerful emotional experiences that build up inside you. You are vulnerable to emotional explosions. You may be inhibited. You need to work on allowing your emotions to show spontaneously. This requires great trust and courage on your part.
You have a very sharp mind and excellent intuition. You perform best in a quiet place. You have self-control and dignity. You may be too occupied with yourself with a tendency to withdraw, especially when you are emotionally troubled.
THE INTUITIVE PLANE

Your Intuitive Plane of Expression is 12/3
You are very original, imaginative and sometimes have fantastic ideas about spiritual matters. You are very artistic and inspiring. You have a talent with words and may be drawn to the pulpit.
Your intuition is above average, but you tend to color and exaggerate your insights.
PART V: HOW YOUR CURRENT NAME AFFECTS YOU

Interestingly, the short name often compensates in some way for numbers, and their related characteristics, that are missing or out of balance in the full name.
