Each soul is potentially divine. The goal is to manifest this divinity within by controlling nature, external and internal. Do this either by work, worship, psychic control or philosophy — by one, or more, or all of these — and be free. This is the whole of religion. Doctrines, dogmas, rituals, books, temples, and forms, are but secondary details. -- Swami Vivikenanda

Meredith Murphy: September Equinox, 2013 - Rebirth
Hello Dear Ones,
So many of you are so tuned in. It is so beautiful to us when you sense subtle energy changes, and trust your perceptions, your sense of things. Even if you cannot totally explain it, even if it is mysterious or the implications unclear, so many of you still feel the truth of the currents now in play and know with confidence what you sense.
You feel subtle energy reshaping and you get the gist of the qualities of what is taking place, you sense the import of things and in this we find so much to be joyous about, for you are really orienting and trusting your inner clarity. And of course, in these subtle senses of things, you are very much right.
This is powerful -- your wisdom and trusting of your innate knowing -- and this is a very powerful time. Thank you for being brave and heart felt in your living.
The Equinox is a potent portal of initiation into a higher dimensional expression of the leading edge of human consciousness. It marks a substantial shift in the grid, and the birth of newly established grid -- a field populated by the emergence of what is often referred to as the New Human. The New Human as a paradigm of embodied, aware, divine consciousness, is arising.
This collective realization of the Christ Consciousness now embodied not just conceptually, but energetically in the full human energy field by those on the leading edge, has created a new system, a group mind in alignment with Divine Will. These New Humans who energetically populate and radiate in resonance with this field of new harmonics, this new matrix of leading edge perspective in form, consciously multidimensional and knowingly divine, is what we are referring to as the Christ Consciousness Grid.
This new framework creates the pathways for these currents of the New Harmonics grounded by these leading edge humans. This energy system will support the further expansion of all individuals on Earth, seed reality with more and more expansive, coherence and order and also begin to transmit and ground the paradigm of the new reality as a collective field. As any of you open to the fullness of your being and to the world, and generate the energetic capacity of this alignment, you move into resonance with this new field.
All-That-Is, is focused upon this shift, because it is the first manifest arrival of the full new human DNA template in form. And activated. Consciously, fully flowing source energy. Able to operate as a whole system as a human energy field. So this is a huge accomplishment to have this arrival approaching and it will position those of you who have worked with your consciousness and your emotions and your expansiveness and your multidimensionality, who have reclaimed your knowing of the true divine nature of your being, in an entirely revolutionary way in form.
The aspiration to liberate more and more consciousness in intelligent life systems, such as human energy systems, has been a shared aspiration by many, and a creative focus in the angelic, ascended master and star family collaborations for Earth for what you would consider a very long time. We are, like you, thrilled by what is coming forth.
How all this will develop is a beautiful adventure! A mystery even, for it is new and it is up to you and YOU -- the fullness of you! It is unknown how humanity will evolve, change, shift, create and develop and progress as the new collective field emerges and begins to discover more capacity and live as and from this endowment from all that you are.
The innate awareness of the Unity of life, and alignment with Divine Will impulsing awakened humans will not only have the influence of powerfully high frequencies, but the clarity and sense of timing that comes from being unified with the intelligent, ordering and harmonious field of their own inner connection to Source Creation.
Those of you who comprise this field will be in a new space where you will then begin to discover the new functionality of your abilities. We anticipate that telepathy and knowing will be increased; manifestation enhanced; clarity sustained; a state of joy and fulfillment stabilized; well-being on a physical level expanding; and that you will then begin to act within Creation on Earth as an Emissary of Divine Will. You will be embodied in a capable Cosmic Form of Being. This upliftment will enable the Human Template to function in alignment with Cosmic levels of intelligence, elevating participation from a personal, local, global sphere into and eventually beyond an galactic sphere into a cosmic connection of universal love and being.
Where it goes from here we, with you, will be most excited to see. It is up to us together to discover the new means of collaboration this will enable for us all and to use this for the benefit of all beings and all that is. This is an enormous, substantial aspect of fulfillment of the divine plan for Earth and populates with human presence, bands of resonance that open Earth for participation in the Cosmic playing field, and with a proper orientation to wholeness rather then the local paradigm of duality.
So this shift in form further empowers the unity paradigm in humanity and is preparation for the Cosmic Participation of Earth as a Global Citizen in an enlarged landscape. How individual humans remember and ground and create from their multidimensionality in form is the territory of these leading edge new humans. How each of them sense divine will expressing through their unique essence and begin to utilize the fullness of their being on Earth, and collaborate with other enlightened beings, creating grounded Earthly presences of Cosmic Councils and Fields and Families of light, is the great anticipation we all share.
As all of this takes place, chaos will not only continue but expand. It is natural that this will be challenging for many. Being a presence of peace and developing your inner composure will serve the whole very beautifully in this time, as well as support you in sustaining your connection with all that you are and opening to a fuller and fuller embodied expression of this wholeness.
Increasingly the multidimensional is in play within the material and realm of form. At the leading edge where material meets pure potential is the consciousness of the New Human -- fluid, present, sovereign, clear and open to all that they are, and open to the world. It is the dawn of a new era. A milestone in the nature of awareness and creation and the potential for the material to be an expanded conscious expression of its Source.
For all of you participating consciously in this awakening epoch, may you absorb the magnitude of your accomplishment. It is important as you integrate this realization that you celebrate the amazing feat you have individually and collectively empowered through your focus and leadership -- through the example you are, you will be and you continue to expand into, the way in which you have by virtue simply of your evolving expanding energy field, uplifted others into this new paradigm of being.
We are with you always and we are most excited that you too, are sensing and understanding this great shift into more and more light.
We are the Council of Light

Vasumi: Kin 220: Yellow Crystal Sun (Friday 20 September / Electric Moon 1 Dali)
Good Morning planetary kin...
Today is the 12th day of the Moon wavespell of flow and purification... Today we gather with others to co-operate and shine light on the wisdom of FLOW... The wisdom that comes when we are in the flow of our lives and open to the intelligence of pure consciousness, the wisdom that flows as pure illuminated intelligence... This enlightened wisdom has the capacity to influence our worlds and begin the big journey of cleansing and purifying all that non-intelligence has created in the form of pollution etc... Today is a great day for a collective round house sharing ideas for purifiying our planet and environment, and the minds of the populations...
Predawn thoughts that are catalysts for change enter our dreaming, the capacity to push the edges of previously accepted thought forms is gifted us, to align more strongly with the open mind of the harmonic matrix...
This morning we focus on co-operation as the mode of conduct as we look to the ancient feminine wisdom of the Earth and her capacity to birth the new, through co-creating with the wisdom of the ancients that knew themselves as connected to Mother Earth and all of life...
This afternoon we gather to communicate from the heart, finding appreciation for different ways of thinking, as catalysts of change in our collective mind...
This evening we may ground the ideas born of today into actions, as we respond by nurturing our bodies and honouring our personal needs in order to prepare for what may be needed as we dedicate ourselves to the journey ahead of purifying our planet... We look to our responsibilities as we are excited to go out tonight and explore and see that what we have learnt is accomplished in our moment by moment capacity to flow in a caring, nurturing and responsive way...
Enjoy the co-operative nature of this day, as we look to the needs of purifying Mother Earth...
I give deep respect and reverence for my dear brother Stephen Tate today, always a beacon shining wisdom in his capacity to flow and co-operate with all the needs that show up in his life... Blessed be dear brother, thanks for the deep inspiration and wisdom you carry as we share Plan-It Earth...

Judy Satori: The Full Moon Meditation for September
Soul Emergence Meditation
A guided meditation and technique to assist with self healing,to manifest what you wish to create and to balance and heal karmic relationships
"I plan to listen to this meditation daily for the next 21 days. We are all going through much change and release. Listening to this will help!" Judy
The meditation involves creating three vibrations of peace, love and oneness or unity consciousness and then reinforcing this creative energy trinity with emotions of knowing, positive expectation and gratitude. Once you master the technique you can use it in a variety of ways. This is explained in the meditation.
(You can also listen and download from the home page at www.thesoundoflight.com.)
Many of you have written to me asking that the Full Moon Transmissions continue. I have tried to oblige, but Spirit have other plans and want me to move on to other things. This Full Moon transmission will be the last. You can still listen as all the previous Full Moon transmissions are archived, but I am being guided to focus on new work. All will be revealed!
It's time to let go and let God! This year has been a time of intense challenge and change for many people, but bear in mind that this time of clearing and release is needed before we can fully embrace the new beginning that is coming in our lives.
We might still be releasing and maybe not feeling great, but the time has come to dry off our beautiful new golden butterfly wings in the sunshine and get ready to take flight.
Anrita Melchizedek: HARVEST MOON -- SEPTEMBER 19, 2013
Enjoy the Full Moon energies my precious friends and family, paving the way for the Equinox energies over the weekend ~
"Through the sacred cosmic Fire of Purification in this month of September and the rituals that you create on the Full Moon, you are taken deeper into the alchemy and magic of being able to draw to you, to magnetize and attract what you are needing in any given Now moment through your manifestations and co-creations with the Company of Heaven.
Within the third eye a beautiful diamond star-tetrahedron activates and is now experienced within each one of the chakras. As it enters the heart chakra you experience your heart's dreaming, amplified through the Full Moon, and creating a pathway for the Equinox on September the 22nd. For at the time of the Equinox energies an equal amount of day and night is experienced ~ in unity, Spirit and matter merge ~ and you experience too the merging of your Beloved I AM Presence. And now, the 13 Cosmic Christ Holographic Discs re-activates through the spinal column taking you into a deep sense of Christ Consciousness, of Unity Consciousness and into the Pathways of Divine Love. The beautiful copper-gold and pink-gold Fire of Purification amplifies, activates, and embraces All That You Are as these sacred transfiguring flames of Divine Love.
You now find yourselves now within the Heart chakra of Mother Earth, within the crystalline matrix of Mother Earth's Light Body, surrounding Mother Earth and all her Life now in these beautiful copper-gold and pink-gold flame of this sacred Cosmic Fire of Purification, through the Overlighting of Helios and Vesta.
Wonderful, sweet ones. As you find yourselves back in your sacred space now, the Arcturian Emissaries of the Light come forward and offer to place you in a Purification Chamber of Light. You allow yourselves simply to surrender to this experience, connecting into the Inner Earth Sun, to the Golden Sun within your Hearts, to the Sun, the Central Sun and now the Great Central Sun ~ to Source Light and the Cosmic Heart of all Creation. You are aligned through all dimensions of Light available to you, knowing that you are indeed purifying yourselves of every human mis-creation, deed, thought, and action, no longer needed to be experienced in this Golden Age of Light. Wonderful.
Just keep this connection of Light open to all these Beings of Light, sweet ones ~ and to the crystalline matrix Flame of Purification coming through from the crystalline heart of Mother Earth, and these sacred copper-gold and pink-gold Flames of Purification. Stay as long as you are able in this sacred space, in the knowing that you are already experiencing Unity Consciousness, and the One Reality of All That Is.
So we thank you for your service work, and with this we bid you a most magical day".
Sarah Varcas: 19th September 2013: Full Moon in Pisces
Reaping the Inner Harvest
Today’s Full Moon occurs at 11:14 a.m. GMT in the 27th degree of Pisces. The Sabian Symbol for this degree is ‘A Harvest Moon’, (nicely appropriate for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere!) and this Moon shines her light upon the harvest we can now reap. This is not, however, a material harvest of conditions created around us. Instead she invites us to consider an inner harvest and where we now find ourselves on our path of spiritual enquiry.
It can be a rare thing, to contemplate ourselves aside from the conditions of our lives. We can easily feel an unnerving dissolution of self when we remove the external trappings of our identity and turn within to see what’s left in their absence. But today the Full Moon bids us to do exactly that: to turn towards and embrace the truth of who we are aside from anything created around us.
To embrace what is left when our identification with things, circumstances, experiences, wealth (or lack of it), role (or absence of it), is released. She encourages us to let even our name go, to move beyond the ‘I’ ness of existence, in order to experience the essence which energises us from the heart.
This essence has been given many names over the years. It has been conceptualised and theorised, denied and held up as a carrot on the stick of the spiritual path. Some believe it to exist, others cannot conceive that it possibly could. We each have our own relationship with our very core and today we can encounter it in its rawest and most pure form by turning away from everything that divides us from others, that identifies us with individuality and selfhood, and turning towards the pure energy flowing through us from the earth, from the cosmos, from everything around us and back out again into the world at large. This energy forms the harvest of which the Moon speaks today.
An encounter with this pure force within is not always a pleasant experience! Many have spoken of the trauma of awakening to the truth of who we are, of the destruction that doing so can wreak in our everyday lives where truth can no longer exist alongside the everyday deceptions of mundane consciousness.
This is not a path for the fainthearted, and it is fair to say that the transformations occurring in our world now as we enter the Aquarian Age are not all about sweetness and light! But a willingness to experience the essence of who we are, beyond identity and ego, is essential to the process of awakening. Whatever we use to bolster our sense of self must also be placed willingly upon the sacrificial altar in case it, too, requires release at some point.
This Full Moon in the final sign of the zodiac reminds us that the true harvest of our path is experienced within, in the very core of our being, not externally in the trappings of our lives. If we fail to connect with our essence we may miss the harvest, forever seeking it outside of ourselves, which can be a more seductive and absorbing path, but also a distracting and deceptive one. As with all Full Moons, something comes to fruition at this point, but today the harvest is within us awaiting our inward gaze in order to be known.
Wishing Full Moon Blessings for everyone.

SHE LET GO
She let go. Without a thought or a word, she let go.
She let go of fear. She let go of the judgments.
She let go of the confluence of opinions swarming around her head.
She let go of the committee of indecision within her.
She let go of all the ‘right’ reasons.
Wholly and completely,
without hesitation or worry, she just let go.
She didn’t ask anyone for advice.
She didn’t read a book on how to let go…
She didn’t search the scriptures.
She just let go.
She let go of all of the memories that held her back.
She let go of all of the anxiety that kept her from moving forward.
She let go of the planning and all of the calculations about how to do it just right.
She didn’t promise to let go.
She didn’t journal about it.
She didn’t write the projected date in her day-timer.
She made no public announcement and put no ad in the paper.
She didn’t check the weather report or read her daily horoscope.
She just let go.
She didn’t analyse whether she should let go.
She didn’t call her friends to discuss the matter.
She didn’t do a five-step Spiritual Mind Treatment.
She didn’t call the prayer line.
She didn’t utter one word. She just let go.
No one was around when it happened.
There was no applause or congratulations.
No one thanked her or praised her.
No one noticed a thing.
Like a leaf falling from a tree, she just let go.
There was no effort. There was no struggle.
It wasn’t good and it wasn’t bad.
It was what it was, and it is just that.
In the space of letting go, she let it all be.
A small smile came over her face.
A light breeze blew through her.
And the sun and the moon shone forevermore.
Here’s to giving ourselves the gift of letting go…
There’s only one guru
~ you.

Excerpt from "Letters To A Young Poet," by Rainer Maria Rilke
"Have patience with everything that remains unsolved in your heart. Try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books written in a foreign language. Do not now look for the answers. They cannot now be given to you because you could not live them. It is a question of experiencing everything. At present you need to live the question. Perhaps you will gradually, without even noticing it, find yourself experiencing the answer."
— Rainer Maria Rilke, from Letters to a Young Poet

Sarah Varcas: Accepting The Law: Saturn Conjunct North Node
We begin the new week with Saturn now conjunct the North Node, the Sun somewhat cast aside from its cosmic colleagues and Mars being relieved of some of the pressure to which it’s been subject in the past few days. Overall this gives a feeling of stepping into line and acceptance. The fundamental laws to which we are all subject have been made very clear to us in recent weeks.
If we’ve tried to cut corners the results of our limited efforts will have unravelled pretty quickly. If we’ve acted out of haste before listening to our inner voice of wisdom and knowing we will have hit a brick wall, or worse. And if we’ve been motivated by egoic self-interest without consideration of the greater purpose of all things, including and especially our own lives, we will have found ourselves moving rapidly down a path not of our choosing but propelled by energies of our own making.
Thankfully, as we approach the Full Moon in Pisces on 19th, we now have an opportunity to take stock and change tack if we need to. It’s not too late and the cosmos supports our every effort to move in the direction of peace and not conflict, spirit and not ego, new beginnings and not old worn out patterns of behaviour which got us here in the first place! Of course, if ‘here’ is where we want to be then we can carry on as we were, but if not, the heavens charge us this week with taking responsibility for where we find ourselves and deciding upon a different course to a better destination.
We all live in the consequences of our previous choices and behaviours. No matter how much we may find fault with others, with circumstance, with life itself and its unfair dealing of the cards, ultimately where we are today is where we have placed ourselves through major and minor actions, thoughts, decisions and behaviours accumulated throughout our lives and beyond.
In Saturn’s conjunction to the North Node we see the potential for recognising this at a deeply profound level, not just as an intellectual theory about how life may work, but as a central truth of existence. And in embracing this recognition we can begin to view the events of our days, the concerns of our mind and the content of our heart in a whole new way. We can begin to know, with every fibre of our being, that we are the creator just as we are the created, we are the cause as well as the effect and we are Divine as well as physical creatures of the material world.
Today the cosmos speaks of these many roles and the responsibility that being charged with them places upon us. It’s a hefty one and we may prefer to side-step it if we can, but we can’t. We can only step into it, not around, and the sooner we are prepared to do so fully and with a heart open to what that truly means, the better able we will be to do what needs to be done at both a personal and a collective level in the weeks and months to come, as we journey across the cusp of the Aquarian Age together.
Have a good day everybody.

HAPPY ONAM FESTIVAL!
When: 16th September 2013
Where: Kerala, in southern India
Onam is when Kerala parties. Boat races, song and dance, lots of good food, and as much exotica as one can take, are there for the asking. Onam is celebrated in gratitude for the bounties of the land, for all that nature provides for the people. On a slightly different level, the festival also keeps alive the legend of a benevolent ancient ruler called Mahabali, who, it is believed, again visits his subjects - the people of Kerala - during Onam Festival.
Onam is the biggest festival of the year there. The most spectacular celebrations take place in Kochi, Trivandrum, Thrissur, and Kottayam.Onam is celebrated in the beginning of the month of Chingam, the first month of Malayalam Calendar (Kollavarsham). In 2013, the most important day of Onam (known as Thiru Onam) is on Monday September 16. Rituals commence 10 days before Thiru Onam, on Atham. There are actually four days of Onam. First Onam will be on September 15, the day before Thiru Onam, while fourth Onam will be on September 18. Onam festivities continue throughout these days.
The legend of Onam
According to the legend, Kerala was ruled by a demon king Mahabali who otherwise being a good ruler was egoistic. Under his rule Kerala witnessed its golden era as everybody prospered and were happy. Since he was a demon king, Mahabali’s growing popularity made Gods uneasy and hence they used his one shortcoming against him to end his reign. However, Gods granted him a boon that he could visit his people once in a year and it is his visit that is celebrated as Onam every year in Kerala.

Beloved Kin ...
Welcome to a new day, the 8th day of the fluid and sensitive Moon wavespell, where purification is necessary in order to reach to pure consciousness... Today this is integrated with intelligent questioning guided by aligning to our greatest independence... To think outside of the box, and allow our own understandings to have validity, without giving our power of intelligence away to an external 'expert'... Each one of us as expert in our own intelligence, not to have all the answers, but more importantly to have the right quest-i-ons that allow consciousness itself to reveal the answers, in the infinite variety of ways that they may flow to us when we are open to receive, not closed down by 'believing' they will come in the ways we think they should... This integrates our capacity to go with the flow and reach into the Universal Waters of pure brilliance, many geniuses are born in the Moon wave spell, simply because of this energy, the capacity to think outside of the box, and receive and give validity to answers arriving in infinite ways, recognised simply because they reveal the greatest light, the light bulb igniting our consciousness...
Predawn our intuition is guided by the knowing of pure intelligence, as questions are rooted into our unconscious, that will lead us to walking the path of fearlessness... To quest-i-on all that is denied in the collective unconscious, in order to bring it to the light of day for healing... It is in the act of simply showing up to witness without resistance that the deeply denied is healed...
This morning we are guided to integrate awakening through co-creating with others... It may be that this morning we are not fully awake until we connect with others, as we look to the light of expansion and greater potentials made possible as we connect with others, illuminating our collective growth and intelligence...
This afternoon we integrate transformation through surrendering all judgements to the heart... Letting go of rigid concepts that would hold us separate, and allowing an open and compassionate attitude to show us where the greatest transformation can occur in our lives... In this we may make connections with people or worlds outside of our usual focus, enabling the web of consciousness to be woven in a healthy way, that is inclusive and heart-centred...
This evening a strong and vital life force born from flowing with our individual quest brings balance and a wonderful sense of our own individual enlightenment...
So blessed be dear hearts, all connected in this most divine and fluid pure consciousness, let us allow our quest-i-ons to reveal an increase of divine purity and flow in our lives...
Today is dedicated to my dear friends Willow and Rory and thank you both for the pure brilliance of your quests!

The Two Monks -- A Zen Parable
A senior monk and a junior monk were traveling together. At one point, they came to a river with a strong current. As the monks were preparing to cross the river, they saw a very young and beautiful woman also attempting to cross. The young woman asked if they could help her cross to the other side.
The two monks glanced at one another because they had taken vows not to touch a woman.
Then, without a word, the older monk picked up the woman, carried her across the river, placed her gently on the other side, and carried on his journey.
The younger monk couldn’t believe what had just happened. After rejoining his companion, he was speechless, and an hour passed without a word between them.
Two more hours passed, then three, finally the younger monk could contain himself any longer, and blurted out “As monks, we are not permitted a woman, how could you then carry that woman on your shoulders?”
The older monk looked at him and replied, “Brother, I set her down on the other side of the river, why are you still carrying her?”
------
This simple Zen story has a beautiful message about living in the present moment. How often do we carry around past hurts, holding onto resentments when the only person we are really hurting is ourselves.
We all go through times in life when other people say things or behave in a way that is hurtful towards us. We can chose to ruminate over past actions or events, but it will ultimately weigh us down and sap our energy.
Instead we can choose to let go of what doesn’t serve us anymore and concentrate on the present moment. Until we can find a level of peace and happiness in the present circumstances of our lives, we will never be content, because ‘now’ is all we will ever have.
Gassho.
Julie Miller: Aloha to Peace -- Message from Elohim Aloha
| There are numerous Beautiful Darlings that still continue, bringing with them from every incarnation the same amount of characteristics of their Ego and their Emotional Self comes with them in a rush, engaging in diseases and sicknesses against their own body because they were permitting various forms of contamination into their own level of awareness. Understand Beautiful Darlings, in order for you bring Peace and having it flowing through every niche of your total being, it is essential that you commit to bringing discipline to all the different facilities that help create your consciousness. Learn to rely on these faculties, including your mental and emotional vehicles that you have committed to improve and make better become your foundation of Inner Strength, giving room to receive the Light of your I AM Presence. Allow this Light from God, whom is a part of you to fill you to the point of overflow and share this energy, God’s unwavering Light in all you do and to all you greet. Use this Light throughout the day, as you continue to build on your life, let the this Light deliver you to clarity and understanding, knowing which action or thought will demonstrate God’s Presence within you each time. When you greet each challenge that your day brings you, your lovely heart will steer you in the right direction and your determination to stay on course will prevent you from being swayed by temptation. Comprehend Beautiful Darlings, that your current life is not restricted by any sickness you bring when you allow your thoughts to be filled with impurities. You create unnecessary stress upon your body and the emotional and mental faculties become overwrought as you continue to respond and react in the same ways you have in other lifetimes. It is understood Beautiful Darlings that you are trying now to remember your past and that many more have forgotten how to control their own thoughts that have been known to bring harm to themselves and to others. Stop blaming yourself, and begin to heal your whole self. There is no better time than now to begin to bring great changes into your Self that will have tremendous affects upon those closest to you; you will inspire them to do the same in their own unique way.

My Mini Numerology Reading!
Numerology Mini-Reading for Lana
Birth Name: Victoria Ann Flores Generao
Date of Birth: June 20, 1960
Hi there Lana,
Thank you for visiting my website at Numerologist.com, and for requesting this sample mini-reading and ongoing numerology tutorial.
Over the coming weeks, I'll be giving you a wealth of information about numerology (all completely free of charge!). I look forward to taking the journey with you - numerology is a true passion of mine, and it is my hope that you find numerology to be just as fascinating as I do.
Let's jump right in by starting to analyze your numerology chart ...
The best place to start is with one of the most basic calculations ... your "life path" -- based on your birth date of June 20, 1960 -- is 6.
How Is Your Life Path Calculated ?
This is calculated in four steps:
Add up the digits in your year of birth.
Your year of birth is 1960. Adding 1 + 9 + 6 + 0 gives us 16. Adding 1 + 6 gives us 7
Your year of birth is 1960. Adding 1 + 9 + 6 + 0 gives us 16. Adding 1 + 6 gives us 7
Add up the digits in your day of birth (if more than one digit).
Your day of birth is the 20th. Adding 2 + 0 gives us 2
Your day of birth is the 20th. Adding 2 + 0 gives us 2
Add up the digits in your month of birth (if more than one digit)
Your month of birth is June, which is the 6th month. As 6 is a single digit, there's nothing to add here.
Your month of birth is June, which is the 6th month. As 6 is a single digit, there's nothing to add here.
Add up the answers from (1), (2), and (3) above.
The totals, then, are 6, 2, and 7. To get our final answer, we add these three numbers together to give us 15: Adding 1 + 5 gives us 6

What Does Your Life Path Say About You?
As you are so self-sacrificing you are also in danger of working yourself to the point of exhaustion. One of your life path lessons is to remember to care for yourself as much as you care for others....
Lana, your Life Path of 6 ...
You have a deep love and concern for your fellow humans and are at your happiest when you feel yourself to be in the service of others. You are a supportive and self-sacrificing and a friend to all. You intuitively know how to cheer or heal others who are in a crisis. You also have a swift, analytical mind, dexterity and a lot more faith and courage than is often demonstrated by the other numbers. For this reason, many of you end up being doctors, nurses, fire-fighters, policeman, politicians, lawyers, crisis line workers, counselors and any occupation that involves empathy, skill or bravery.
Your life path is often filled with responsibility, but the difference between you and other people is that you are happy to take it on. You are a sympathetic and kind person and skilled in the arts of diplomacy and leadership. Many of you are born with an innate wisdom about what others need to survive and thrive. You easily earn the devotion and respect of others and are destined to become a pillar of your community.
Like most sixes, you probably were some kind of child prodigy in one subject area. You probably seemed to be wise beyond your years and may have accelerated grades or entered university early. Furthering your education is likely to be a theme that is important to you your entire life. This is because your brilliant mind is always looking for ways to enhance the quality of your life.
Another mark of the number 6 child is that he or she tends to connect very well with adults and have full, intelligent conversations even at a very young age.
You often marry early and the cornerstones of your life are family, religion, philanthropy and compassion. Your relationship with your partner is often destined to be a permanent loving one that survives all obstacles. You may also have an extraordinary talent for dealing with children, teens and the elderly.
You have very few flaws, but one of them might be a tendency to meddle in or fix other people's lives. Also your willingness to excel to please high-ups may look like brown nosing to others. As you are often very successful compared to others, you might also experience a lot of jealousy and envy from those who just don't see how good-hearted you really are.
As you are so self-sacrificing you are also in danger of working yourself to the point of exhaustion. One of your life path lessons is to remember to care for yourself as much as you care for others.
Another one of your life challenges is to make sure that you don't take on more than you can chew as this might force you to break promises that you would rather keep. You are a soft touch, so you are also at the risk of being taking advantage by individuals who might see your kindness as the mark of a fool. However your traditional approach to life along with it's ethics and moral values usually serves you well.
Being one of the most domestic numbers, your family and extended family is probably the center of your life. You are very realistic in your approach to money and career and often have the intelligence and foresight to build a small fortune. This financial savvy is good because number six's tend to have large broods or spend many years of their life supporting parents or other relatives.
Your Expression Number
Your Expression - which describes your potential natural talents and abilities - works out to be a 5.
How Is Your Expression Calculated?
What we are going to do now is turn all the letters in your name at birth into numbers, using the following chart :
In practice I put the vowels above the name and the consonants underneath. This is because your Soul Urge is derived from the vowels alone, so it makes it easier at the next step to do it this way.
Again there is one exception to the rule and this is with the letter ‘Y’. If it acts as a consonant and is pronounced it is classed as being a consonant. If it is not pronounced or acts as a vowel it is classed as being a vowel. The ‘Y’ in Yolande, for instance, would be classed as being a consonant, but the ‘Y’ in Larry would be classed as being a vowel as it acts as a vowel.
Let’s work out your Expression number, Lana :
Using the above chart we would put a '4' below the 'V' in your first name. We would follow this with a 9 placed above the 'i', then a 3 below the 'c', a 2 below the 't', and so on...
We then carry on in the same manner with the rest of your name. When you are finished, you should end up with a chart like this:
Now we simply add up the numbers in each row.
The top row: 9 + 6 + 9 + 1 + 1 + 6 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 1 + 6 = 54
The bottom row: 4 + 3 + 2 + 9 + 5 + 5 + 6 + 3 + 9 + 1 + 7 + 5 + 9 = 68.
We now add the total of the top and bottom rows, which gives us 54+68=122. Adding 1 + 2 + 2 gives us 5
And so, Lana, your Expression is 5.
What a Number '5' Expression Says About You
You are also very accepting of new people and new ideas. The last thing that could ever be said of you is that you are closed minded....
Lana, your Expression of 5 ...
Your Potential Natural Talents and Abilities
You are optimistic, inquisitive and embrace change. You are a freedom-loving individual who expresses their love of independence often through a bohemian or unusual life style. You are blessed with a brilliant creative mind that is never at a loss for a solution to a problem.
As your independence is so important to you, you thrive best in creative occupations that allow you a great deal of travel. You have an eye for design and appreciate the good things in life. In fact, you may spend a lot of your time trying to figure out how to get these things without having to work too hard.
If you are a typical five then you will meet with the most success by selling some aspect of yourself or your talent. The height of your personal expression is in your talent for persuasion. This is why you are best suited for jobs in media, marketing and design.
You very much believe that a person is defined by what he does and not what he wants to do so any business or project that you start will be very much branded with your personal flair. It is a number 5 that tends to name a business after himself or send out a resume with a photo.
When it comes to business you also tend to have a "hands on" approach as you rely a lot on your wit, charm and good looks to get what you want. Once the deal is sealed, however, you sometimes have difficulty seeing it through to completion. This is because your brilliant mind is captured by so many other interests that it is difficult for you to focus sometimes.
Sometimes your need to express your independence brings you to a critical point in both your professional and personal relationships. You are terrified of being stuck in one place or having your free spirit suffocated by labels and possessiveness. For this reason many of you feel quite suffocated in relationships or are unable to hold down a day job for any length of time.
You are very popular socially because you are the life of every party. You have light nimble mind and have excellent verbal skills. You also have enormous powers of analysis that gives you an edge when it comes to investing money, judging others and avoiding harmful situations.
You are also very accepting of new people and new ideas. The last thing that could ever be said of you is that you are closed minded. You will try anything once and you often respond willingly to a dare. However, sometimes your permissiveness leads to relationships with odd or unstable individuals.
Romantically others may find you hard to get close to as you would rather sit and chat than get intimate. Others fail to understand that the most valued expression of your love is the expression of your hopes and dreams to another.
You are also very pragmatic when it comes to all of your relationships and believe in treating everyone equally. Deep down you are very philosophical about relationships and believe that no person should be so important that he or she should have the power to make you happy or sad. This can often distress your soul mate who doesn't feel that special in your presence. Part of your challenge might be showing through your actions, how loving all without sacrificing one can be achieved.
Now, Let's Examine Your Soul Urge
(also known as your "Heart's Desire")
Lana, your Soul Urge of 9 ...
What You Desire To Be, To Have, and To Do In Your Life
The highest expression of your soul's urge is to connect in a mystical way with others. Although your aspirations are lofty, you are also a humanitarian who is often gifted with a sharp intuition and keen analytical skills. Often you give up opportunities that should be yours, simply to help another. This is because your faith in yourself, god and the future is so strong that you live by your conviction that the universe is always unfolding as it should.
Others simply do not possess your spiritual sophistication and may be amused or repelled by what they see as your irrational talk or beliefs. You may be accused of being stupid or foolish simply because you won't take the bait (of a job or money) at the expense of your ethics. Compared to the other numbers, you excel at letting go of lovers or opportunities simply because you know you can't take emotions and material goods with you when you die.
As you are driven more by compassion than common sense, you are the first to fall on your sword for a worthy cause. You may often be broke because you see money only as a tool of change. You would much rather spend money on art, charity or a trip. In fact, ostentatious displays of wealth anger and disgust you because your ideal is a world where all humans are equal.
You might appear very eccentric to others who don't quite understand your fascination with the spiritual world or your insistence on being a seeker of truth. Furthermore nines tend to get carried away when it comes to trying to heal or connect to others. The biggest mistake you could make is to try and be an "agent of karma" by meddling or interfering in other people's affairs.
As you are so talented psychically, you often become a liability in business simply because people in authority resent your ability to perceive their secrets. You rarely rise very high on the corporate ladder simply because others see you as a threat to their cloak of political intrigue.
You have a soul that must be continually assured and fed with new sources of spiritual information. To stay healthy, your psyche may require that you make special trips to holy or mystical places. You may have to seek out special teaching to help you understand and cultivate your talents so that you are in control, as opposed to terrorized by them. Being able to foresee the future or see through other people is often painful, so some therapy might be required in your life to help you detach from your own sensitivity.
One of the sins you are most vulnerable to is spiritual pride. This can bring you situations that cause your faith to be seriously tested or where your pride can take a big fall. Many nines often find themselves subject to a lesson in becoming humble by the cosmos simply because they were too boastful of their talents. Making money off of your psychic talents may also cause you some problems, as part of your path is to heal without the expectation of reward. If you are working professionally as a psychic and are a nine, then remember to tithe at least one tenth of your earnings towards a worthy cause. However the highest calling of your soul urge is to share your intuitive talents for free.
