Flight Plan for the Journey of Life
"In any influence, will, a self, the ego, the I AM is the greater force to be dealt with, but as numbers do influence, a knowledge of same certainly gives an individual a foresight into relationships."
- Edgar Cayce, 311-3
Of the metaphysical sciences - Astrology, Tarot, Palmistry and other spiritually relevant studies - Numerology is the least known or understood, yet the most accessible. In looking to the answers to questions Numerology generates, you can find your self and your path.
 Numerology
Numerology is the study of numbers, and the occult manner in which they reflect certain aptitudes and character tendencies, as an integral part of the cosmic plan. Each letter has a numeric value that provides a related cosmic vibration. The sum of the numbers in your birth date and the sum of value derived from the letters in the name provide an interrelation of vibrations. These numbers show a great deal about character, purpose in life, what motivates, and where talents may lie. Experts in numerology use the numbers to determine the best time for major moves and activities in life. Numerology is used to decide when to invest, when to marry, when to travel, when to change jobs, or relocate. I'm not claiming that this website is going to make an expert of you so that all these questions can be answered, but we can at least get you on the way.
The first question I asked when numerology was exposed to me was why does it work. The second question was how does it work. Well, if we could answer these questions it wouldn't be an occult study, would it? Is it a God force? Do numbers have vibrations or something like that? Who knows? Just be objective and give it a try.
Many believe the history of numerology goes back more than 10,000 years. Pythagoras, the Greek mathematician who live from 569-470 B.C., is said to be the originator of much of what we call numerology today. I suspect more has been written on the subject in this century than in all of the preceding thousands of years.
Introduction to numerology attempts to explain the basics of this interesting discipline. It teaches how to change the letters in your name to numbers which reveal much about your personality and potentials. You'll get the feel of the numbers from the thumbnail sketch in the numerology keywords. Next you'll find a worksheet to help get organized and prepared for the task of assembling a complete reading of the numbers in your name and birth date. Following the format template, you'll be able to set up a reading that will include your Life Path number, your Expression number, your Soul Urge, birthday, inner dreams, pinnacles, challenges, gifts and limitations. Your personal year will lend clues as to what kind of a year to expect this year and next. Finally, the Essence of the year will show what is demanding attention in your life and where your personal efforts will be focused.

 Astrology
You may be at the stage of asking, "What is a horoscope?" The horoscope is a map that appears as a two dimensional chart showing the position of the Sun, the Moon, and planets at the precise moment of your birth. In the natal horoscope, the planets are frozen in their position at that initial moment. This type of horoscope is known as the birth chart or the natal chart. A correct interpretation of the birth positions exposes the "hand" that has been "dealt" in life. A horoscope can never show how you are going to "play" this hand. While you usually have freedom of choice or free will, the horoscope does reflect natural inclinations that you have to live with, lessons you have to learn, issues to be faced, and problems to be solved. It may be thought of as merely an abstract formula showing the energies that you've been given, or perhaps tasked. The use that you make of these energies, or opportunities, if you will, depends upon you, the individual. Astrology can provide incredible keys to understanding, but it doesn't provide clear and simplistic answers to any problems with which you may be dealing. Obtaining information about your horoscope may give you some insights and understanding of the reasons why you behave as you do.
To have the horoscope of another revealed allows the reader to understand that person better. You can see and understand him or her more accurately, objectively, and with a much greater tolerance. Understanding your horoscope may allow you to more clearly understand and accept yourself, and therefore do what you can with your natural attributes.
Important: If it is your intention to learn about your own birth signs (your horoscope), you will need to obtain a copy of the horoscope chart. This site does not provide charts, but we know where to go to get one. My favorite place to get a free chart is the Astrodienst Atlas. When you arrive at Astrodienst Atlas, follow this Atlas Help on getting the charts you will need to begin your studies. If you need to go get a chart, you may wish to bookmark this page now so we don't lose you in the process. Go now to Astrodienst to get the charts? You'll find more help in reading the chart here.
After you obtain a copy of your horoscope, you will be ready to dive into the many mini readings that will begin to draw a special word picture unique to you or the individual whose chart you are focusing on today. First, you should become familiar with the twelve signs and the planets. The chart on the symbols page will be a major help. Then keywords will give you an elementary understanding of the sign/planet influences that will be expanded upon later.
After you have obtained your horoscope charts and begun to gain an understanding of the placements, you will want to move on to read about the Sun, the Moon and the planets in signs and also the readings blending your Sun and Moon signs.
Next the focus will shift to the houses with a brief summary, the planets in houses, and how your Ascendant (rising sign) sets a personality in motion. Learn about the sign on the cusp of each of the 12 houses in your horoscope. The planets in aspect define how the interaction between planets influence behavior.
A format is provided to guide you through the process of developing a horoscope reading using many of the applicable readings.
A number of short definitions are randomly presented in the section called Odds and Ends. Learn a little about Chiron, the Moon's nodes, modes of activity, the element, retrograde planets and more. For the students writing papers on astrology and other who are interested, some key links discussing the history of astrology have been assembled.
A synastry section discusses relationships and why sometimes they work with the greatest of ease, and sometimes a successful pairing takes a whole lot more effort.
