Psychick Focus >>
This month we received a beautiful poem called The Return. A few months ago we added a new section to the newsletter called Crystal Focus. The last element tells you which vibrational number the crystal works with and we have been promising to explain how to work out this number. The number used is your birth number and here's how to work it out.

Numerology >>
For centuries, observers of human nature have sought common denominators to better understand the forces that shape the human personality. Numerous tools of insight from both psychological and mystical traditions have emerged at different times and in different cultures. All of these methods and "maps of consciousness" represent our attempts to demonstrate that our universe and our psyches are not random or chaotic, but have a certain structure and order.

The ultimate source of numerology is veiled in mystery, but its origins may date back to the Pythagorean school of ancient Greece. Pythagoras taught that number was the essence of all things. He spoke of cycles, patterns, and waves of energy that existed long before the dawn of humanity, and of how our life paths reflect great and eternal laws, whose origins and purpose remain hidden within the mystery and mechanics of existence. In exploring the fundamentals of form and frequency, he discovered relationships between mind and matter where before no such order had appeared to exist, and he pointed to hidden numerical patterns that served as keys for unlocking secrets of the psyche.

Determining Birth Numbers >>
At birth, our parents gave us a name;
the universe gave us a number.

1. Write out your birth date in numerical form. For example, the birth date 6 August 1970 would look like this: 6-8-1970. Do not abbreviate the year to 70.
2. Now put a plus sign (+) between each digit, including zeros; then add all the digits to get a sum.
E.g. 6 + 8 + 1 + 9 + 7 + 0 = 31

3. Once you have added all of the digits of the birth date and reached a sum, put a plus sign (+) between the two remaining digits and add them together to reach a final sum.
E.g. 3 + 1 = 4
If your original sum ends with a zero, such as 20, or 30, or 40, add the two digits as you would any other to get a final number.
E.g. 2 + 0 = 2
For birth dates in the twentieth century, you will always end up with a final sum of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, or 12.
4. Write the complete birth number as the original sum followed by the final sum, and separate the final sum from the first two digits with a slash mark (/).
E.g. 31/4
5. Double-check your math to confirm that you have reached the accurate birth number.

Important Points >>
When adding up the digits of the birth date, treat a zero as you treat the other digits. For example, for the birth date 2-20-1946, put a plus sign (+) between every digit:
2 + 2 + 0 + 1 + 9 + 4 + 6.
Depending upon the date of birth, you will end up with a birth number made up of three or four digits. Some examples:
Three-digit birth numbers: 21/3, 27/9, 30/3, 32/5
Four-digit birth numbers: 28/10, 29/11, 38/11, 48/12.
Although all of the numbers and energies they represent are significant, the numbers to the right of the slash mark have a stronger influence in terms of the life purpose.
