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.

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.
Testhafeez, 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 6, 1, 5
Testhafeez, you have a 6 Expression, a 1 Heart's Desire, and a 5 Personality. When it comes to competitive rivalry, the 5 and 6 are like conjoined twins with very different interests. For that reason, you probably spend a good deal of your energy trying to find a compromise between these two opposing sides.
Your 6 Expression is compassionate, stable, protective, self-sacrificing, and very much like a doting parent to those you care about. Conversely, your 5 Personality is rebellious, freedom loving, irresponsible, adventurous, and thrives on chaos and change. The conflict is obvious.
There are also less noticeable differences. Motivated by the need to shelter and defend, the possessive 6 tends to meddle in other people's affairs. The 5 favors keeping things light, loose, and superficial.
Your Personality number reflects the outward, surface aspect of your personal make-up. It is the part others notice when you first meet. A 5 in this position means people will initially view you as an unconventional individualist before they recognize the more conscientious, responsible "inner you" (your 6 Expression).
Your Expression number primarily informs your career options. It reveals your talents, abilities, shortcomings and the general goals of your life. A 6 here makes you a good fit for business or education. Medicine and law enforcement could also be favored, although the latter probably includes too many restrictions for someone with a rebellious 5.
The final influence of your core numbers is your 1 Heart's Desire. Since your Heart's Desire rules your likes and dislikes, and suggests what makes you truly happy, you tend to favor this aspect of yourself. You are fortunate that the 1 not only lends you a bold warrior's energy, it also functions as a referee between the 5 and 6. It brings focus and purpose to the mix. The 1 does not take no for an answer. It has the potential to impart a somewhat brute force and is not always gentle or forgiving. Fortunately, the soft, gentle 6 will smooth those edges a little.
People with a 1 Heart's Desire need to feel in control. This makes you very independent. You likely enjoy exploring and spearheading projects. You are a self-starter and should consider freelancing or owning your own business, as neither the 1 nor the 5 make good employees. The 6 lends creativity and artistic talent, so there is also excellent potential in creative fields. Both your 1 Heart's Desire and 5 Personality are suited to the artist's lifestyle.
Your core number combination is one of the few combinations that have a very different effect depending on gender. Women more than men find stability and their niche in the job market more easily and at an earlier age. (The opposite tends to be the case when the Heart's Desire and Personality numbers are reversed.)
In your personal life, you may find it easier to fall in love than to stay in love. Although you are perfectly capable of long-term commitment and loyalty, you may have difficulty recognizing what it is you want in a partner. One side seeks commitment, but the other dislikes anything limiting. It may be that you will find a long-term partner later in life. Your numbers also suggest you will make an excellent parent, if you so choose. Many foster parents and others who devote their lives to the wellbeing of children not their own have this combination.
Now let's look at each of your core numbers individually.
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.
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 1
Your Life Path and Birth Day Bridge is 1, which combines individualism and personal power. Strive to recognize your moments of inhibition and question their source. Work on becoming franker and more direct. This has less to do with fear or insecurity than with trusting yourself and your instincts.
Consider the way most children lack inhibition or hesitation when responding to others. They are often painfully honest, but entirely without malice. Find a balance between refreshing directness and unnecessarily hurting another's feelings. Personal power is not the result of gaining authority, admiration or superiority - it comes from knowing who you are.
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
Your Second Challenge is in place from approximately age 30 through 55.
Your Second 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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
Testhafeez, 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.
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.
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.
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 6
Testhafeez, your strength lies with understanding people and the underlying conditions of a conflict. But you can rely too heavily on friends and family to provide you solace instead of handling the situation directly and responsibly. You may be too likely to retreat to the good feelings provided by people not involved in your situation. Responsibility is the issue here, you helped create the situation in the first place, and are an essential part of the solution. Accept your role.
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. Testhafeez, 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.
The influence of the short name (the name you use to introduce yourself, including your last name) is minor in comparison to your full name. 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.
