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 September 11, add 9 + 11 + 4 = 24. 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. 24 would be 2+4= 6. Your number for 2002 is 6, and you will look at that number in each month's column to determine the focus of your journey.

1 - Everything in you may want to rush ahead to begin something new, but there is a word of caution as you are asked to make sure the foundation upon which you build your future is solid. Look dispassionately at what you are doing and how you are doing it. Are there sturdy underpinnings to your plans? Do you need to revamp anything––rebuild anywhere? Avoid shortcuts that pull the rug out from under you, and be willing to look at old patterns that don't serve you anymore. By taking a fresh approach, dropping your defenses, and risking to the unknown, you have an opportunity to make major or minor breakthroughs. As you do, a whole new life opens up. Die to the old so the new can be birthed. Then you will see what transformation is really all about!

2 - Alliances may be shifting as a note of change is in the air. You may feel restless, desiring movement and more to look forward to. By harnessing your enthusiasm, you can accomplish great things. Information, travel, expanded contacts with others are all part of the time period. Be discerning in dealings with those who might try to portray something as better than it really is. Clarity about your own motivation is important so you can expand without stepping on others, or being a pawn in someone else's game. Rely on the Divine for guidance rather than your wits. Then everyone wins!

3 - Your ideals and desire to have everything be warm and fuzzy come up now. Family obligations may surface, service to others is important, and the way you look upon those responsibilities is key. Do you give with a loving heart, or do you count the cost and feel martyred in the process? Everything you do makes an energetic ripple in the fabric of life. When you extend yourself with love and appreciation for the doing, much comes back to you. When you give because it is required or technically correct, the resentment underlying your actions is felt by others and mirrored back to you. When you are torn between duty and desire, illness can crop up. Observe yourself, and note where it would be more appropriate to say "no" to requests, and where other projects make your heart swell with joy. In all dilemmas, Love and self-honesty bring clarity.

4 - You may have a special area of interest that calls for increased effort and time to spend on refining your project. Health matters can crop up if you haven't taken care of yourself. Alone time is important or imposed upon you, and the key to the month is to go to Spirit. As you ask questions related to who you are and why you are here, you gain insight and answers that take you to a deeper level within yourself. It is a year of reframing or strengthening what you already have, so be prepared to drop unnecessary defenses and allow truth to help you spread your wings. Resolution is possible now, so refine the lens of inquiry and capture the essence of what is presented for the renewal of your soul.

5 - A dynamic opportunity is presented that requires finding the perfect point of balance between doing and being. Channel your energy and direct the focus into areas where you can integrate what you have learned and benefit from your past efforts. Powerful people may assist you, or valuable information is presented to help you make decisions. You are the director, and your life is a system of energy. Bring it into flowing motion, calibrating effort so that your life is a symphony of possibilities. Make time for the different facets of your nature, and take time to smell the flowers. When under stress, remember to breathe, and take advantage of flowing water and massage to ease tense muscles. This can be a productive and validating month.

6 - Something comes to term. It can be an attitude that no longer works, outworn clothes or items that need clearing, a project that is complete, or relationships that have come to conclusion. Whatever needs releasing, let it go. There are new things that are waiting to enter, but before they can, you need to clear space for them. This applies on multiple levels. In all things, an attitude of gratitude for what you DO have is important. The more you appreciate, the more is supplied. When you feel lack, you attract it, and when you look to the good in your life, you will find it. Higher purpose is important this month, and all you do for the benefit of others finds heartfelt response. It's important to remember that everything has a reason and a season under Heaven.

7 - There is an opening and opportunity to promote something that is important to you. It's a good time to rely on yourself, develop a stronger sense of your courage, stamina, and willingness to move forward. Life calls upon you to stand up and be counted. Your leadership or unique way of viewing something is valid. Voice your opinion. Make your contribution. New connections can be valuable in the future. You are planting seeds this month, so take every opportunity to plant them wherever possible. Even though they may not all take hold, those that do will bear good fruit in the future!

8 - Partnerships are called in review. There are those that are supportive of you and those that are a major drain. You are asked to analyze what works and what doesn't, and to weed out elements that are destructive or divisive. Some of the review is internal. What is the caliber of your thinking? Nourishing or depleting? What about the food you eat, and the people you spend time with. Choose only that which is top quality and supports you in your best good, and in relation to people, make sure you support them as well. You have intuitive strength now, so use it. Even if things are confusing sometimes, rely on the inner light that illumines all possibilities.

9 -The joy principle is peeking out at you. Take time for play, creativity, self-expression. Be with a merry band of friends and enjoy social events and the opportunity to see humor where others might be stuck in the mud. It is important not to take yourself too seriously. Emotional issues around children or situations related to yourself as a child can crop up. Life asks you to be more detached, not allowing external events to drown out possibilities. You can be the star this month. You are persuasive, attractive, and can inspire many, so utilize this not-always-present gift. As you bring your light to others, everyone is blessed, and life is enriched. You can grace the world with beauty now and be enriched in the process.
