To find your personal number for the entire year of 2002, take the number of the month of your birth. Add it to the day of your birth. Then add the number 4 (representing 2002). If your birthday is August 11, add 8 + 11 + 4 = 23. Take the total (if it is a double digit number) and add it together until you have a number between 1 and 9 as the final total. 23 would be 2+3= 5. Your number for 2002 is 5, and you will look at that number in each month's column to determine the focus of your journey.

1 - As we move into spring, the restless energy of change is nipping at your heels. It is time to shift allegiances, or find a rail to ride on. It's a month of movement, albeit physical or informational. There is plenty of opportunity––perhaps too much. How to choose? Which way to go? Make sure that you are aware of consequences of actions before you commit yourself to something. Read the fine print. Think in terms of giving everyone dignity. Walk lightly, that you also not be trodden upon. Expansion is required. The key is to hold onto ethical values in the process and recognize what is realistic and what is too much in the way of commitment of time and energy.

2 - The view is focused on family, service, and health. It's important to be aware of how much energy you are expending toward others, and where over-inflated expectations block perception. By discovering that life lived in a state of love––not attack––brings tremendous benefits, you can adjust your self-talk to reflect optimism and greater well-being. As you fill your internal cup, there is plenty left for others. When you mistakenly run to the beckon call of everyone else without first taking care of yourself, you find ailments cropping up and resentment building. If you have to say "No," do it with love. As you reflect that quality, many good things come to you. What a nice way to move through the month!

3 - In the midst of your creativity and self-expression, it's time to pause and reflect. Resolution is needed, either in a project or with a person. You have things to investigate, and may even deal with issues or relationships from the past that require better understanding. Knowledge is important. Time alone is valuable. Being in nature is healing. Do those things that are restorative and fulfilling. The more time you take for yourself, the more insights you can achieve. This is a month for recharging the internal batteries, and that also means your spiritual batteries. Go to the Source and renew your supply!

4 - You might feel it's time to manage, organize, and direct your efforts toward accomplishing a goal you have set out to achieve. This month requires a systems approach––looking at how everything interacts with everything else. Recognize where you are in need of more balance and equilibrium in your life. Integrate what you've learned and recognize the value in team effort. Trying to do everything yourself is limiting. By using leverage, much more is possible, and success is within reach. If you feel stressed, listen to music, get a massage, or be in water. When you find the secret of effortless effort, life becomes a symphony. That's what to strive for this month––it can be done!

5 - Term papers? Term life insurance? It's time to complete or release something that has come to term. Let go of whatever seeks to be free. Recognize your own needs, and when in doubt, climb to the top of the metaphorical mountain where the view is clear and unobstructed. When you do, you are able to give others the benefit of rare wisdom, and see the why's and wherefores of life. Whatever you do for the betterment of many is assisted during this time. Anything that you dwell on that is petty or born of jealousy goes through disillusionment. It's time to get out of smallness and move into a bigger context of yourself that is more fitting to who and what you have been created to be. Use your dramatic flair wisely, feel gratitude in your heart for what is, and make space for much more good to come!

6 - A quickening is felt as opportunities begin to present themselves. You have to be alert to possibilities, and you can connect with people who will be helpful in opening new doors. Your leadership, courage, stamina, and self-reliance are called for now. Be aware of when you are operating from high mindedness or impulsive and willful determination. The latter will cause you to experience many character building moments, and the former will allow you to align to a larger vision and greater potential rewards. Defensiveness holds you back. Enthusiasm propels you forward. Remember to gather names and phone numbers along the way. The keyword for this month: Spring forward!

7 - Throughout April it is good to pause and reflect on your choices. Monitor the quality of your thoughts, the food you eat, and the people you spend time with in partnership. As you choose those elements that are supportive and
nourishing, you blossom. When you allow negativity to predominate, you can feel overwhelmed by doubt and may shortchange yourself in interactions with others. Strengthen your partnership with your Creator. Find stronger ties in faith and believe in your worthiness to receive assistance. Prayer, meditation, positive thinking––all are to the good, and will allow many beautiful insights to unfold for you. You are given the freedom of choice, so choose those things that nourish and elevate your soul.

8 - During April it would be good to find a merry group of friends with whom to play and laugh. The child in you needs to be appreciated and encouraged. Creativity, imagination, self-expression––all are part of this month. You can
persuade, sell, motivate, and inspire. You have an unusual gift of attraction that can bring things to you so long as you are not in a self-sacrificing mode because of emotional issues. Be discerning, and if others are taking you for granted, back off. If there are emotional issues that arise, be loving to those who are important to you, but don't jump into the arena with the drama kings and queens. We don't always have an opportunity to attract extraordinary opportunities, and it's important to put oneself in a place where they can happen. So, leave the party poopers at home and find your way to the spotlight that's waiting for you to take center stage!

9 - Spring implies renewal, and this month offers opportunities for transformation. The focus may be on foundation points within your life - marriage, divorce, birth, death - but it also reflects a larger reconstruction process. What patterns within your psyche need to undergo alteration? Where are you playing in arenas that are too small for you? Where are you bound by fear? It's time to face limitations and overcome the barriers that keep you from all you can be. By risking to the unknown, you can make breakthroughs that lead to minor or major transformation. As you are willing to release attachment to confining elements, you begin to spread your wings, and then everything is possible!
