To find your personal number for the entire year of 2001, take the number of the month of your birth. Add it to the day of your birth. Then add the number 3 (representing 2001). If your birthday is November 11, you would add 11 + 11 + 3 = 25. 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. 25 would be 2+5= 7. Your number for 2001 is 7, and you will look at that number in each month's column to determine the focus of your journey.

1 - You have an opportunity to see how the actions you've taken this year affect the bottom line. It's time to count the cost, do internal and external housecleaning, and work on strengthening the important foundations that support you. Release outworn patterns from the past and get to the root cause of issues that negate quality living. As you overcome limitations, you are renewed. As you are willing to confront the hard issues, you may find the outcome nothing less than transformational!

2 - Change is all around you. During this time period your best response is to look for answers from higher guidance as some events may be out of your control. You may feel someone is manipulative or controlling, but make sure you are clear about your own motivation in everything you do. Exercise helps work off nervous energy as do foods rich in Vitamin B. Be willing to have an adventure, and if plans suddenly change, have something else in mind. Harness the restless energy available and you can achieve a great deal, which will make the month very worthwhile.

3 - Enjoy family and all things that create good memories. Ideals are strong, and you can make a valuable contribution to your community in some way. You provide a healing influence, but need to be discerning about when it is appropriate to help and when "helping" is actually keeping someone from growing. Give with love, be love, and even when you have to say "no", do it with a loving heart. Take good care of yourself and remember that you are part of the receiving line when you extend yourself to everyone else.

4 - As the year comes to a close, you may feel a need for time alone to assess the state of your world and to ask questions that lead you to deeper understanding of the whys and wherefores of what has gone before. This is a month that encourages introspective work. Don't stop at shallow answers––probe more deeply. You can achieve an "Aha!" moment and resolve a relationship or issue that has been causing you distress. Take time for study, research, and also trips into natural settings where you can feel the connection to nature. Recharge your batteries as you get ready for a busy and changeable year ahead.

5 - The focus is on organization and directing effort so that you work with leverage and feel a sense of achievement. A systems approach is required as you observe your life. Where are things balanced and flowing, and where not? How can you integrate your life so that you are orchestrating a symphony rather than playing with endless chaos? This is a month for looking at things squarely, taking a stand to accomplish a goal, and finding time to smell the flowers, too. Powerful forces can assist you, and there may be rewards and recognition, but if you've been putting something off, payment is now due.

6 - December offers completion. There are relationships, attitudes, situations, and paperwork that require adjustment. As you look at your life as a gift, you will be able to feel generosity towards others and recognize each bump in the road as an opportunity for greater awareness. When you have gratitude for your life exactly as it is, openings appear. When you resent your circumstances, you block the good that is waiting for you. There are things that need resolution and clearing. This may be internal or external. Whatever comes up, bless it, because it is given to help you make room for a larger context with which to define your life.

7 - You may want to stand alone, or through circumstances find yourself on your own. The function of December is to forge a stronger sense of yourself, your leadership abilities, and your pioneering spirit. Courage, stamina, determination, and fortitude are all called for. You are asked to discern between positive movement forward versus willful action born of defensiveness. Higher mind is necessary, for there may be temptations that inflame impulsiveness. Pause before acting. Question assumptions. New directions can open––just make sure you look beyond the first few steps to make sure the road you choose is the best one for you.

8 - Practice pausing. As you intend to move ahead, there may be detours or road blocks that call you to return to your original premise. Where did you not read the fine print? Where are there steps that were forgotten? If something takes longer than anticipated, rather than see it as a negative, move into your intuitive space. Something is going on behind the scenes that you can't see. Time is of the essence. Too fast, you jump the gun. Too slow, you miss the opportunity. Logic won't get you there––only the still, small voice within. Partnerships are up for review. Who supports you, and who depletes you? That goes for food, thoughts, and anything else that imprints your life. Choose quality and be quality. So simple––so elusive!

9 - Take this opportunity to enjoy yourself. Find a merry group of friends, engage in laughter, and adopt a child's view of life. Emotions can be stirred by circumstances and require a certain amount of detachment so you are not pulled into other people's drama. Be loving, but avoid being overwhelmed. On the other had, there may be opportunities for romantic interludes, joyous encounters, and situations where you are noticed for your gifts. Life provides the stage and all you have to do is show up with a smile on your face. You can motivate, persuade, and sell yourself and ideas when you let the creative muse run free. This opportunity is not always present, so make the most of it and color December with optimism.
