one

ONE is a Ruler - flirting with freedom

This character is Jack and the Beanstalk- Ones like challenges that are awesome because they fantasize about conquering the world. Like Jack the One's curiosity overrides his fears while underneath there's a scared little kid. Jack's Ogre, the giant who eats children, tests his nerves of adventure when he thunders: "Fee fi fo fum, I smell the blood of an Englishman!" Still Jack would rather find out where its going to go down than skip out. Repeatedly he scrambles up the beanstalk stealing treasures from underneath the giant's watch; these risks change his fortune for the better.

In their early years ONES find looking destiny in the eye to be dangerous sport. They encounter authority figures who test their wills. Temper tantrums, hissy fits, you name the attention tactic, it is employed to beat out the competition. Or their families will experience trauma and the Ones will find themselves ignored. In order to survive these children become helpers to get noticed. A conflict of wills or an insensitive environment will continue on until they find peace with their identity. They want to think outside the box; explore the hardest places; and pursue risky ventures. But Ones have to work to be independent and they will be rebels until they find a safe fit for their talents so that they're able to pursue vocations that are challenging, adventurous, and creative. Learning perhaps the hardest way that a lifestyle of opposition does not necessarily establish self-direction and the kind of independence they desire. Their stubborn streak (which they should be able to recognize from a domineering parent-figure) can last until their forties before they start to release their resentment at their childhood and learn to forgive. When they gain back confidence by learning the lesson of forgiveness, self-reliance will immediately step in.

Ones are leaders in the world and at home. Their spouse will need to be strong-minded and possibly hard-headed. If Ones do not work out their subconscious conflict of wills (from childhood) they will marry someone of extreme willfulness also. Their mate will need to be self-reliant, warm and patient, and very affectionate. Ones need to be acknowledged for their unique contributions to other's lives even if they appear to be loners. Receiving affirmation of their genius from their special someone makes them beam up like a kid on Xmas. Ones love to love others, even if they are a bit sniffy about it. They're creatures who seek self-confident characters like themselves. They are smart witty friends and their originality makes for great long conversations. If a One gets loved and understood at home their exponential soars and they're ready to shower affection back.

They want to explore the wilds; invent time-savers; design cutting-edge products; and originate enterprises and if they reach a balance earlier in life these things will happen sooner. Ones are ambitious and find overcoming obstacles and limitations exhilarating. However, they can also be stubborn, selfish, and dictatorial because they don't like restrictions or direction from others. Yet they are the Ones that find the oasis in the desert when you've lost direction and your mind, and it's just because these inimitable characters have instincts that are so clear that we forgive them.

Careers: CEO, explorer, governor, inventor, creative director, editor, producer, any media

two

TWO is Yin and Yang - finding balance through partnership.

After the universe created Earth there came Day and Night. Next: Time and Space partnered up and the seasons of nature fell into a re-birthing cycle. Humans began their own mating cycle that philosophically pinned them together "until death do us part." The tango of time and true love began. Chinese"Yin and Yang" marries the dance of opposites together through a continous cycle of change. The mating dance is an eternal theme, as continuous as the phases of the moon.

The art of relationships is the path of a TWO - finding balance through extremes and changes - their course is set in twilight and leaving a powerful maternal bond that protects them is hard to say the very least. A delicate balancing act is what they're here to fine tune, learning to be true to themselves and speak up tactfully. They need to choose to be with supportive, friendly people and to make it clear they will give to them their best. Self-preservation will always be an issue for them. Twos are finely tuned spirits whose diplomatic skills are appreciated when they are put to use in proper environments.

The art of growing up is impacted for them by an incestuous environment that is prone to pettiness, contrary opinions, and criticism. Their efforts go unappreciated by demanding relatives that want things their way only. Twos cower under these tyrants who aren't aware of their sensitivity. Twos will fear making decisions for fear of being wrong. They often find themselves victimized unfairly by gossip because they cannot make up their minds. Although the rudeness comes from others' prejudices it is not their problem. Twos will repeat being a victim until they realize what lovely creatures they really are. Their ability to find common ground in any environment will carry them contentedly through life if they don't react to brutes. It is not their way, Twos seek balance and prefer peace and cooperation.

Two's will seek a soul-mate like mom or else play mother to avoid relationships. Their rough childhood training in relationships thwarts their search for a mate and distorts their perception of the right person for them. When Twos realize what their part in the relationship bargain is they will then appreciate the joy of being in a twosome; and still feel they are being themselves. Twos nourish a relationship with affection, faithfulness, and financial planning. They hate making decisions alone, they don't like to rock the boat, and they are slow to tell you what's wrong; listen carefully and talk them out until they feel understood. Their charm, grace, and terrific hosting skills win many wonderful friends. They want to please those they love more than anything.

They like groups and working from within an organization; their understanding of divergent views make them ideal diplomats and great team players. Although they work behind the scenes its their finesse with details that gets the recognition everyone works for. They are patient people who like to serve.

Careers: salesman, agent, clerk, politician, diplomat, teacher, hostess, secretary

three

THREE is Pleasure - a creation of Psyche and Eros

Psyche and Eros fell in love on a moonless night where neither could see the other. Their enthrallment was only marred by other's jealousy who believed Psyche was making it up. The journey to true love takes Psyche through dark places and difficult tasks that test her readiness to be a goddess. When the smitten Eros returns to Psyche's side after her initiation he totally surrenders to Psyche's beautiful spirit. Their joyful reunion produces a love child they name Pleasure.

THREES love to create and communicate the joyful side of life. The Three's attitude toward life is unbusinesslike -- they seek to open the hearts of everyone. They want to be easy-going, joking about, playing with toys, shopping for gifts, sending flowers, being colorful, and enjoying luxury. In the mix of all the fun stuff they regard one thing the raison d'etre: friendship is their ultimate goal. As a host they'll put on the fireworks especially if they make you dinner; but watch them wiggle out of doing anything like the dishes. A busy social life keeps them distracted from the thing they ought to be working on, the issue that is their Achilles heel, trusting their own mind and believing in their talents.

The root of Three's lack of confidence stems from obstacles like a limited education, a background that scorned intellectual development, a purely disinterested parent, or an envious resistance to a Three child's creative promise. With such easily amused children others think they're not serious enough to buckle down and develop a gift. Adults naturally chide them into action -- sometimes over the top, so that these children flounder and become unsure of their abilities. So even rebellion in childhood against oppressive conditions is a preferable choice than to later on squander their gifts in frivolous involvements because they lack a sense of purpose. Finding a slot that engages their imaginations totally which is backed by an appreciative audience is crucial to a successful life. That lucky break will resolve any self-doubts they harbor about their abilities. In the pursuit of their dreams they may find that they will have to alienate those friends and family who are dear to them but who are just not on the same page.

You couldn't find a more playful fun partner than the Three. They love to joke, are proudly witty, and sometimes sharp-tongued. They're very entertaining company. Flirtatious personalities they will keep the game going for as long as they can! Unless one has a sense of humor this could become old. Threes will wilt if their creations are criticised or their little antics with the other sex aren't appreciated. They vibrate with the pulse of life and bring joy wherever they go. The higher they soar in their expression the deeper they'll experience it's down-side of repression surfacing. When the going gets tough projects will not be completed; selfishness rules, and a relationship will get neglected. It is very important to stand by them until they feel safe again to express their creative/kundalini energy. When the struggle is overcome they then again become glorious as companions and inspirational dynamos. They'll travel, read, communicate, and enjoy the great pleasures of life.

Careers: journalism, writing, art, music, entertainment, public relations, advertising, promotion

four

FOUR is a House - square, solidified and feels like home

The farmer, cock, priest, tattered man, forlorn maid, cow, dog, cat,and rat that ate the malt that lay in the house that Jack built...a catalogue of incidents that makes Jack's dreams come true. Political pundits have used "the house that Jack built" as a parable for political corruption. The former Governor of Louisiana, Huey P. Long was a classic case. He was a beloved character with a populist reform agenda. Sadly, at 42 he was assassinated before his run for the presidency. Afterwards, pundits wondered about "the kind of house Huey built" implying that the kind of associations one makes and the experiences one has can either lead to ruin or success.

You won't find a FOUR puttering around for no reason. Fours want to feel safe and secure and their dream is a home; the overarching reasoning being that the aches and pains in life need a space to heal and a place that establishes security. Fours are pragmatic, organized, and will set routines for themselves and everyone else. "You can't teach an old dog new tricks" Fours believe. Fours may be stubborn as mules sometimes but they are steady. When they learn something they need to get it right the first time; they don't like to "change horses mid-stream" so to speak.They can build from scratch their own house or expand an empire. Their solid approach gets things working. They are here to implement the blueprints for the future.

As children their lack of material things translated for them into a meaning of inner poverty: they equated possessions with self-worth. A Four learns to approach life step-by-step and build it brick-by-brick so that they can have a fortress that will withstand the vicissitudes of life. They grow up to become money go-getters to shore up their self-esteem. Their financial insecurities will gradually evaporate when their self-confidence develops and their reality turns into one that is based on self-value. Emotionally they will open up then and find they are happier with less material things and content with being themselves. Life for them is spiced up when they see how their personal example and approach to life affects positively the lives of others.

They love the way life is a myriad of patterns and they see no reason to make changes on what works well. However, life is also a myriad of possibilities so they can get stuck in a rut or run dry in performance. Fours' love life can suffer from overbearing caution. Getting over the worry of self-worth and appreciating others and things in their own right happens as they mature and then they no longer feel they must work out of fear because their lives are based on a sweeter reality. Their mates are an important piece of the puzzle that makes their happiness happen. Perseverance and problem-solving are their strengths and they are reliable. Their emotions are traditional and their pockets go only as deep as the people they know but they are adept providers, loyal friends, solid citizens, and great parents and grandparents.

Careers: farmer, accountant, builder, executive, engineer, chemist, teacher, biologist, graphic designer

five

FIVE is a Wanderer - like five senses, fingers and toes

Johnny Appleseed traveled far from his home to promulgate the craft of nurseries , planting apple trees throughout the Midwest --"spreading seeds." Johnny's naïve yet progressive vision is as legendary as his independence. He believed in the Golden Rule and as the Indians who were his friends would say "He walked his Talk." He became friends with the settlers whose diets sorely needed the apples. But also, he spent weeks at a time alone with just wild animals for company. His gentleness made him a natural peacemaker. He's remembered for his eccentricity -- supposedly wearing a cook-pot for a hat and canoeing down rivers in his boat filled with seeds. He is an American icon of the free-spirit.

FIVES are adventurers who like to try anything different and unusual. They are driven to seek variety, shun monotony, follow the new, and experience as much of life as possible. Their path in life is to follow their senses and learn how to balance the sensual with their own sexual needs. Their freewill carves out an inner map that guides their trek through life's challenges. Although they develop a different beat or special personal compass their intentions are to harmonize with society's aims but still be themselves regardless.

As children they were told what to do, think, and feel by a dominating parent or it could be the whole family was unique and odd or just indifferent to their sibling. The emotional impact on the Five's character is like a sheltered existence, they don't experience the real rub of life. There is a tendency to repeat this restrictive environment rather than admit to themselves their fear of the unknown. When they take responsibility for falling into these psychological traps because of their childhood training then they blossom. Their playful sense of adventure overcomes the obstacles. Five's sense of adventure can take them to extremes. They're attracted to the exotic, fond of the eccentric, enticed by intoxicants, and sexually open. Freedom is something they learn how to use wisely.

Fives like to be independent and in a relationship they need their freedom too. They seek emotional intensity in sex, are unconventional in their goals, and they are not shy about speaking their minds. Give them a good deal of time and space. Their reward is that their timing is uncanny and instinctive in returning the favor. Their approach to life is youthful; they are excited by the novel, very adaptable, and willing to be risky (risque). Their mischievousness will never bore you and you'll love to play with them.

The thing they realize most from their adventurous life is that freedom comes in all kinds of bundles and guises. Fives must develop great communication skills so they can transmit their increased perceptions of the world around them to the many walks of life they encounter and the generations following them. From their absorption of cultural differences, languages, diets, politics....they are able to teach the meaning of brotherhood to others subtly.

Careers: media, literary fields, dealing with the public, linguistics, anything connected with travel.

six

SIX is the Muse - of dreams and desire

Homer's The Odyssey is one of the great masterpieces of the ancient world...in it decisions lead or mislead; tests are what they seem but not the results you expect; and dreams get more realistic than the physical journey itself. When a tempting siren delays its hero with her magic charms, the war weary Odysseus must decide his fate and his future -- is it Circe the sorceress he stays with, or the ruler of his heart Penelope he returns to? The duality of the muse confounds even the most level-headed thinker -- does it serve up true inspiration or is the ego seduced by glory?

SIXES love beauty and feel beauty serves the world by healing its errors. A Six craves both romantic love and nurturing love. They rule with their hearts and also cherish domestic bliss. They will serve in the community usually as a volunteer spreading their good will and using their artistic talents to soothe. Life is good for them (even if they're public people) if it revolves around home, family, garden, artistic pursuits, comfort, and security.

While growing up their personal lives were often consumed by caring for the whole family in some way: looking after siblings, running grocery errands, cooking meals, etc. They won merit within the family by such dutiful acts; however their creativity got largely ignored. Their individuality was instead submerged into a supportive role, regarded as more important by the rest of the family. Sixes love music, art, and acting. To get their stifled spirits to finally soar out of this emotional prison they must find a vocation that channels their artistic side as well as one that speaks from their resourceful character. As Sixes mature they will learn to distinguish between the misperceptions of themselves and the real recognition of their talents. This modest appraisal will mirror back who they really know they are.

Sixes are tormented though by relationships; they must try to figure out what part they play in creating bliss or wreaking havoc in their romantic liaisons and friendships. They have an unconscious goal to get the kind of attention that makes them feel needed by being submissive or over-demanding. A result is their well meaning "good intentions" can turn to hell with such tricks and life isn't so sunny and relaxing then anymore. Six is the number of romantic love and all the sturm and drang that goes with it. They will find their domestic bliss with someone who shares their family ideals and their desire to give back to the community. They are wonderful marriage partners when they make the right match. Underneath their romantic exterior and artistic soul is a homebody who favors tending the homefires with a sweetheart by their side.

Because of their rich understanding about relationships Sixes will be drawn to work in counseling, teaching, ensemble theatre, or music groups. They will do a lot of work from home which is their seat of power; it is also great for their clients because Sixes love to provide a comfortable environment to entertain in and nurtures friends and family.

Careers: social worker, medicine, veterinarian, the ministry, marriage counselor, homemaker, musician, portrait artist, caterer, entertainment

seven

SEVEN is a Seer - speculates with the unknown

Lawrence of Arabia wrote: "All men dream: but not equally."...(Those who dream by night dissolve into vanity, and those who dream in the day are dangerous.) When Lawrence of Arabia ignited the imagination of Englishmen with his adventurous exploits in Arabia he shifted a culture. He totally immersed his identity in the Arab world while remaining a servant of the British Empire. His dual role haunted his conscience the rest of his life. The voyeurism of Lawrence's duality has always fascinated writers, readers, and movie audiences.

A SEVEN's reality is like a foreign world, they explore unmapped territory. The Seven nature is quiet, sensitive, and observing. They have strong intuitive powers which they develop through constant testing until they trust them fully. This experimentation can lead them on journeys physically and metaphysically. They will travel through time or out into the world to search for answers to puzzles that prickle their curiosity. They are nerdy creatures devoted to finding the answers in this world-like wonderland.

Having their dreams mocked as children leads Sevens into realms that are unobvious to non-believers and mystical to the initiated. Their activities become cryptic enough that their outward lives are disguised or even almost invisible to others. Their intellects become analytically engaged and unusually perceptive. As children they prefer to live in their own little world until loneliness drives them to see the real version they read and dream about. Sevens eventually link their intuition into their thinking helping to judge illusions and value the unseen. They are health conscious because they need to be to have a balanced physical life with the hyper-activity of their minds. They should have clean air to breathe, nature to comfort them, and marvelous meals to sink back into.

In personal relationships they often display an aloofness that may seem elitist or emotionally distant somehow...one would not take them easily for flirts because they are serious thinkers. They tend to prove their romantic side by being chivalrous. They would rather role play or mask their identity to avoid dealing with other people's petty motives. When they are attached to someone they reveal it by remembering special dates, personal details, and favorite preferences. They live in rarefied dreams and are romantic idealists. When they love you they will share their unique vision quest with you and claim you as their soul-mates on this journey together.

Sevens contemplate the space between dreams and action. They develop theories on the origins of the Cosmos, Creation, and Humanity. The idea of destiny stretches their minds and galvanizes their horizons. They must study and travel, preferably alone at times. Like the mystics that they are, they understand there is no single truth; there are many.

Careers: research, archaeology, sciences, philosophy, writing, acting, astrology, numerology, explorations

eight

EIGHT is the Magistrate - takes the measurement of all things

Daphne, the water nymph, pulled a clever trick to avert the relentless advances of Apollo; she transformed herself into a peaceful Laurel tree. She out-smarted him. Despite her speedy flight through the forest he would not give up the chase and so she had to make a rapid plan to disguise herself. Because of her quick thinking and some assistance from a river deity, Daphne successfully escaped her tormentor and kept her honor intact. The Greek gods' playful form of justice was to punish with an insult equal to the culprit's dishonorable behaviour. Apollo, though even after that, still kept pining for her, pressing his heart against the wood!

EIGHTS' issues are about boundaries. There are some things in life that are just beyond our control and we must face the dilemma of how to deal with those surprises in an optimistic and balanced manner. Eights deal with the evolution of energy. Everything in life is measured out in values in their minds. The eight vibration represents the material world and their place in life is in the worldly business of accomplishing dreams. They are objective and evaluate people and projects without letting personal sentiments get in the way. The flow of money is the symbol of energy on this planet and they are its taskmasters.

Eights learn when they are young that self-value is determined by showing up and being serious. Their childhood tests them to stand up for themselves and their beliefs. At home, there can be a dictatorial parent ruling their lives as well as the school yard bullies that shove them around. They have some harsh realities to face and the survival skills they gain early on make them good managers as adults. Growing up Eights are fascinated with the riddles of sex and death-- and how little is controllable. Their interest in psychology helps them understand others and overcome their weaknesses.

Time is money and what they put into their personal love lives is valued somewhat the same. Their mission in relationships is to accomplish as a couple the good life that is admired by all. In the immature years emotions sail in and out like the tides and they will remain loyal knowing that there's always another tide coming. When and if they achieve their desired symbols of wealth and as time wears thin -- they are more interested in personal happiness and spiritual goals. Eights are the boss everywhere. Despite that omnipotence home is where they find contentment. Learn to be patient with the Eight's temperament, power should not be an issue in the home. Their strength is their weakness -- their mastery is to pull many things together to achieve a positive result. Their failures come when they neglect to recognize other's expertise and knowledge. They are loyal partners, just not sentimental; and still they want to share their worldly abundance with you as their equal.

Careers: financing, law, publishing, film producing, corporations, brokering, and insurance.

 

nine

NINE is the Spiritual Adviser - combines the unknown with everything

In a private world of little furry friends who speak another language Beatrix Potter found as many secrets as there are in the universe. Spending a strict childhood alone mostly with just her pets and nature she became entwined in their company and she began writing and illustrating stories about them. Funnily, Beatrix Potter's Tales became a quietly spiritual treatise about manners, kindness, and morality. The gentle spirits in these Tales remain to this day as unapproachable beloved examples of forgiveness and good behaviour.

The extremes of life will lead the NINE to places and experiences that require an adjustment to the real reality of life. They have a passion for the beauty, grace, and fecundity that surrounds the everyday acts of life. Yet Nines are almost naïve in their anticipation of goodness trumping over darkness which makes them born idealists.They feel strongly right actions will transform the world. The truth is life is also a raw deal -- full of ups and downs -- that's its character. The blind idealism of the Nine can be easily exploited by a person or group using them as a means to an end and then discarding them. The huge lesson of the Nine is to let go and let the universe decide the finish. This is a path that requires courage.

Nines are peacemakers having learned from the cruel treatment they received as children which charges their awareness of the hypocrisy around them. They'll notice the flaws in adults and point them out, drawing severer repercussions for their misdeeds. Such harsh attention makes them feel insecure. They are "all or nothing" creatures and they have titanic aspirations. Their dreamworld is out of this world. Still, fortuitous opportunities come to them throughout life. There is a tendency towards mood-swings, depression, and bipolar disorder. Essentially, despite a hard upbringing Nines leap into life optimistic and ready to change the world. Nines will often lead public lives bringing fame and fortune.

Love to a Nine is a bed-warmer; their humanitarian actions take them far out into the world and it may be some time before you see them again. They are very passionate romantic souls who idealize their beloved. Charming and charismatic they'll seduce you quickly but be prepared for their detached view of relationships. When the infatuation fades they might idealize someone or something else. Or depending on their neediness their attachments can become clinging to a destructive point driving loved ones away through separation, divorce, or death. They are here to learn the lesson of letting go and giving without conditions. Inner grace is their compass and they will flop miserably if their hearts are there for the wrong reason. When they get both their head and heart in gear....they master the art of romance.

Careers: teacher, archivist, lecturer, doctor, relief worker, statesman, diplomat, politician, film director, orchestra conductor

eleven

ELEVEN is a Comet - bearer of Light

The speed of light is similar to the travel of thought. It can strike like lightning or dawn like a smile. Thunder emits a boom and chirping precedes dawn. Sounds also transmit delicate impacts to the mind. When the psyche is wounded by trauma the mind shuts down. The Scottish writer James M. Barrie's boyhood was scarred by his family's inconsolable grief over the death of his brother. Their vacancy left him orphaned. His creation of Neverland, in the story of Peter Pan, was a filler for that childhood void. "Just think of happy things, and your heart will fly on wings," -- Peter told his lost boys.

Everyone wants to be a star: rock star, movie star, internet star, etc. ELEVENS have the impossible task of living up to that legend only with a caveat; they must check their ego at the door occasionally and seriously not offend their fans -- or else turn they will turn into a forgotten has-been. They have the glass slipper syndrome. Their habits and conduct must rise way above the common fit. Elevens don't seek the limelight but it is where they fit in best; only they must watch that success doesn't go to their heads.

Eleven children are guided by angels - synchronistic happenings that help them realize the best direction or make the best decision. While they are growing up they will experience conflicting parental viewpoints or a schism within their own community. They learn to seek their own truth. Essentially, these kids are introverted personalities but living in an environment that exposes them to the "spotlight," other's fantasies, or they are just plainly ignored. They choose to develop their artistic, dramatic, and writing skills to channel the spirit world into their lives. As they become adults their refined natures will be emulated by others which exposes them to popular opinion. They are treated like princes or princesses or else scorned by their milieu.

Elevens want to shine the light into the dark corners of ignorance. They are idealistic. They will appear to be very energetic, erratic, good-looking, and quick to burn out. Being a part of an Eleven's life means exposure to their fame or infamy -- the Eleven has a duality: saint or sinner. They make great partners for career reasons but it takes time for them to develop the art of companionship. They want to play in the big leagues because that is where their energy is acknowledged and appreciated. Marriage or partnership means for their spouse public exposure, striving towards high ideals, and being ambitious. However, Elevens' physical desires will reflect just how spiritually evolved they are - going from sainthood to profligate to doormat or vice versa. Living with them is a high-wire act - exposing oneself to an intensity that is very sensitive, romantic, and full of what dreams are made of. At their best they inspire others and are peacemakers.

Careers: art, poetry, writing, acting, ministry, internet hosting, teaching, role models, great parenting, and exceptional friendship.

 

twenty two

TWENTY-TWO is Beauty - architect of Ideals

The Ouroboros is an ancient symbol of civilization, a snake devouring it's tail. The meaning is as old as the planet: creation comes out of destruction, Life out of Death. The Snake was seen as an androgynous creature that related to both the dark and light andthe feminine and masculine principles of life. It revealed the non-static descriptive format of creation. Like creating the exact likeness is a sterile formula. The reality is, perfectionism is always in a state of mutating; and whether constructing a new institution, writing a peace treaty, or developing a charity -- all dreams are subject to evolution.

TWENTY-TWOS don't plod they calculate the strengths and weaknesses of a project in an overarching single vision. It's easy for them to profile a situation in one fell swoop. Masterminds of design, they can express the equation of the Golden Ratio better than anyone. Twenty-Twos are achievers whose multitasking talents appear effortless and organized. Watch for them in positions that challenge cherished material world accomplishments and institutions because they will bring new ideas and standards to the table. They stay focused on the interior workings, build up from within, then bring it out as an epiphany on the consciousness of the community.

Little Twenty-Twos start out in life on a mission to test everything around them and see if the structures or methods withstand their destructive little hands and clever minds. These tykes are Lego geniuses; team captains; sand castle artists; science geeks; foreign pen pals; etc. They are already "in love" with the broader spectrum of life but they must be reminded to clean up after their messes, keep regular hours, don't miss meals, and get their homework done. They need structuring to keep them from being carried away by their enthusiasms.

The love connection with a Twenty-Two is about being practical as well as bonding spiritually. They will not sweep you off your feet with a surprise trip to Bora Bora, instead you'll plan it together like children. Even so, they will also electrify your romantic-self by pointing out a constellation in the evening sky that resonates to your "soul connection;" or surprise your inner homemaker by creating pottery dishware that's lovingly used throughout your lives; or design a futuristic computer game naming it after your fantasy place. They believe in a partnership that lasts forever built upon shared experiences and that's even more romantic than ever nowadays. Good sense also enables them to find the funds to make all of your dreams come true together.

thirty three

THIRTY-THREE is Magic - healing touch

Great healers can heal with their hands; and the touch of love is the sublimest sensation on earth. Walt Whitman called this bold emanation from our spirits "the Body Electric" in the Leaves of Grass, his book of epic poems. His poetic ploy was to re-immerse America's consciousness into its "natural being" singing it a song of its soul -- a healing celebration of America's unique heritage and dreams. Each blade of grass in its poetic landscape was a truth rekindled through caressing phrases. His words were used to shore up this country of immigrants and their connections to their beautiful new home.

Physician heal thyself -- THIRTY-THREES are here to heal their own spiritual dysphoria before becoming great healers. They are totally aware of the misfortunate and they find their evolved understanding of other's pain has brought to them powerful healing gifts. Some are able to heal through their hands, others express their experience in the arts and heal the psyche, and some surrender their egos and give selflessly in public service. Thirty-Three is known as the Christ vibration which means these people are empathizers and are subject to other people's neediness; they can mistake selfishness for desperation. They should be very cautious of falling into a martyr role and instead aspire towards being mentors or seraphims to others.

Thirty-Threes are like shock absorbers. They think with their emotions and have unusual physical features or identities. Their childhoods were sensory-deprived in someway: from a physical challenge or disability that set them apart from the crowd; or a detached family that neglected them; or as a member of a marginalized group in the community. Their outsider status makes them aware of all kinds of personal contact. As they grow up their desire to help others develops almost into a religion; their self-righteousness might also become fanatical. Until they recognize and understand the cause of their complex affinity with the disenfranchised, their hearts will be frozen to those not disadvantaged; and their healing gifts limited and not utilized for the good of everyone.

A Thirty-Three mate is a compassionate listener, forgiver of faux pas, and a great hugger; however, if they're not mature individuals they'll become clingy mates and ambivalent providers. Gaining acceptance from their mate for their unconditional attitude towards love and supporting also their higher calling in life as public servants will give them the room they need to blossom and be themselves. Thirty-threes may forget your birthday, anniversary, or your child's final game but any holiday they do celebrate with you will be more memorable than many dozens of roses sent to you. They become absolutely great parents because they believe fervently in their child's purpose in life. They will also cherish them totally. They just have a calling that involves the world and its woes and you may get misplaced occasionally. The wonderful part is that they really want to come home to you alone and be there more than anywhere else on the planet. They will be a great lover, mate, friend, neighbor, citizen, and parent to all. They are the kind of jovial company that reminds one of (think Santa Claus).
