Welcome! I am very excited to help you identify more clearly the path and purpose you were born to fulfill. I have studied numbers and counseled thousands of people for over forty years. Incredibly, the numbers have revealed, time and again, what is hidden from ordinary view. The numbers have the capacity to open our eyes and answer our questions.

I imagine that you—like many others—are asking the following questions.

Amazingly, our name and birth date hold the keys to our life purpose!

Numerology is an ancient tradition. There is evidence that numerology was in use thousands of years ago in China, Greece, Rome, and Egypt—long before the time of Pythagoras, who is generally accepted as the “father” of numerology. Most of the earliest teachings were transmitted orally, only to the initiated, because the information was considered very powerful and sacred.

Numbers create order out of chaos. Pythagoras, a philosopher and mathematician, lived and taught in Southern Italy in the sixth century, B.C. His belief that reality is mathematical—a concept still alive in modern times—is the principle on which numerology is founded.

Numbers have meanings. By converting letters into numbers, you can discover the hidden meaning of any word or name. For this chart, I have selected and described the most important, core numbers which cast an influence on your life.

Your Soul chooses your purpose. Your birth circumstances, including your specific parents, who brought you into the world, are not random. There is no assurance that you will be able to fulfill the entirety of any specific goal or purpose, as part of your reason for living is to exercise free will. However, you can be assured that you will be given opportunities (repeatedly, until your last day on Earth) to use your inherent abilities—thus fulfilling your natural role in keeping the world turning.

The purpose of your life is bigger than a job title or career. Numerologists believe that we come into life to gain new experience, learn different lessons, and, hopefully, accrue more wisdom. As we express our innate Spirit-given qualities, we naturally play our part on the world stage.

In seeking to fulfill the old adage, “know thyself,” you will find your chart to be a simple tool to increase your self-awareness, and discern the overall plan you have chosen.

Catherine, your birth date of October, 22, 1943, adds up to 31, which gives you the practical and results-oriented outlook of the 4 Birth Path.

Your basic nature as a 4 Birth Path is to put ideas into form. Practical and goal-oriented, you are a builder, manager, and organizer. Without you in the world, things would fall apart, or never get built or produced in the first place!

Your to-do list is truly awesome! If asked what your purpose in life is, you are likely to say, “To finish all my projects.”

• From the day you were born, you started planning, working, and creating. You have no problem starting at the bottom, because you know you'll move up. Your inner clock is always ticking—and your inner score-keeper makes sure that your efforts pay off.

• Typically blessed with endurance, common sense, and logic, you are sincere, conscientious, and secure in your values. You get a kick out of doing things others find too messy, too risky, too much trouble, or almost impossible.

• A natural systems-thinker, you despise bureaucracies as being too slow and rule-bound. Far flung travel holds less appeal to you than coaching a high-school basketball team or mastering Middle Eastern cooking.

We tend to forget that our purpose is to be, just as much as it is to do. Most of the time we give little thought to our key traits—like a fish swimming in the water, unaware of the water. Our personality and interests just seem to be us. We may not stop to think that the way we operate in the world has a profound effect all on its own, setting in motion consequences we may not even realize.

Your natural characteristics are there for a reason. Each trait is necessary for you to enjoy and fulfill the purpose of your life.

Catherine, your practical and reliable 4 Birth Path has the following key being traits. You naturally fulfill your life purpose when using these qualities.

• Problem-solving and keeping things organized is a central part of your life purpose.

• Reliability builds trust so that your work can come to fruition.

• A pragmatic, conservative perspective helps preserve what is essential.

• Self-disciplined, you can be depended upon to build the structures society needs.

• Down-to earth personality inspires cooperation and helps morale.

• Forthright communication insures a viable end result. Part of your purpose is truth-teller.

• Self-sabotaging traits: tunnel-vision; stubbornness; inflexibility; comments that burn bridges.

• As you saw in the previous slides, each of your names, individually, have a certain contribution or bearing on the purpose of your life.

• Next we will look at the total value of all the letters in your full name. Your full name is your Destiny Number.

• You Destiny number activates specific strengths and predispositions in your nature.

• Your Destiny number prompts you to develop certain interests.

• If you change your name after birth, the new name adds another dimension, such as, a new interest or goal.

• The new name may seem to pull you in a different direction. However, despite the overlay of a new name's energy, you always retain your core nature and sense of identity.

• Your birth Destiny is always active, however modified by a name change. Usually, the effects of a name change are felt within a year of taking the new name.

Catherine, your dynamic, ambitious, and goal-oriented 8 Destiny asks you to be a positive force in the world of power, money, and status. Your Destiny gives opportunity for success and recognition—if you work as much for the good of others as for yourself. You are fulfilling the purpose of your life when you:

• Exercise good judgment, lead with clarity, and build a strong foundation. Disregarding any of these three factors can lead to many challenges. Your Destiny likely brings you several important turning points. If you correctly assess risks and rewards, you are likely to have phenomenal success by most standards. Humanity needs your talents for perceptive oversight and wise, balanced decision-making. Your purpose is to aid the flow of progress and human rights for all of society—not just a few.

• Aim for the top. Your instinctive drive is to work fearlessly and tirelessly. From the day you were born you aimed to create material success, not only for yourself and your family, but for the common good. Your foresight, natural executive skills, and ability for hard-headed decision-making are well-suited for hierarchical organizations.

• Are strategizing. A master in planning and negotiation, with a natural air of authority, your purpose in life is to get things done. Your Destiny will open doors in business, government, law, medicine, banking, or the military.

The vowels in your name express your Soul Urge or Heart's Desire—a motivating force from birth. The Soul Urge is the engine that ensures that you fulfill the purpose of your life. You may ask:

Catherine, you have a 7 Heart's Desire. What kind of life (focus/purpose) would make your heart sing? With your 7's urge to understand everything, as well as live simply and elegantly, what makes you happiest is

As you enter maturity (more or less after age fifty-five), things begin to come together. The unique pattern created by your various experiences, skills, and whatever wisdom you gained will flower along the lines of your Attainment Number. You could think of the Attainment as an ultimate goal. It is the hidden target that your life purpose was aiming at all through your life, probably without realizing it. Your Attainment Number

• Is the realization of your life purpose.

• Is the fruit and outcome of your efforts.

• Is the continuing purpose for your life in your last chapters.

• Describes the nature and environment of your later years.

• Is a blueprint of the purpose of your life in your later chapters.

Catherine, your life purpose has been gathering energy towards your final Attainment Number 3.

Ironically, this quality could have been subtly noticeable in your early childhood behavior. In maturity, it begins to become apparent from your mid-fifties and beyond.

The following key points suggest how you can make the most of this leisure-loving, social number 3 lifestyle:

• Enjoy the freedom to get out of the rat race.

• Embrace the joys of the moment; no need to look for problems!

• Express good will, optimism, sense of humor, and enthusiasm.

• Enjoy activities with younger people; coach, teach or mentor.

• Develop talents or interests you never had time for before.

• Travel short or long distances; buy a recreational vehicle; keep life simple.

• Stay active mentally and physically; build a fish pond; learn bridge; enjoy projects.

• Inspire others through story-telling, writing, performing.

• Avoid scattering forces through financial over-optimism, or prolonged self-indulgence.

Understand that Law of Attraction magnetizes people, events, and opportunities into your life in order for you to fulfill your purpose.

• Like the physical law of gravity, Law of Attraction is a fundamental organizing function of your world.

• The Law is working whether you know about it or not.

• As the old adage states, “What you sow, so shall you reap.” The Law must match your basic energy vibration.

• To maximize the effects of Law of Attraction focus your thinking with positive expectations and intentions.

• Notice which numbers in The Purpose of Your Life Numerology Chart resonates the most strongly. Practice thinking of yourself as the number and what is stands for.

Here's an exercise to help you attract your “ideal” situation or job.

• Look at at your life now (i.e., what Law of Attraction has brought so far).

• List points that you don't like about your current situation or job.

• Re-write each disliked point into an “ideal” version (i.e., ideal for you). For example, change “I don't feel this is what I'm supposed to be doing.” into “I love what I do for a living.” Be as specific as possible about what you want to attract, but a general statement is okay to start with.

• If you think your life purpose involves healing, write a general affirmation, such as, “I want to know more about healing practices.” Very soon, you should start noticing all kinds of things regarding healing practices, training schools, healers in the news, and so forth. If healing is part of your purpose, the way will open up.

Make sure your thinking is connected to a true feeling of passion (or strong interest).

• Just going through the motions intellectually by saying I want to “help people,” or “have a good life” is okay to some extent.

• It's more powerful if you feel a deep emotional connection to what you say you want.

• As you stay in touch with the joy you feel about something, you power up Law of Attraction to bring you exactly the people and opportunities that match your ideal!

Intuitive guidance is your navigational tool for fulfilling the purpose of your life.

• Images, thoughts, and feelings are all aspects of something that is coming into your awareness. They are not random.

• Your gut reactions may be subtle, so keep reviewing past choices to see if you dismissed an idea that turned out to be relevant. Was there something about a choice that later proved to be a factor you should have paid attention to?

To increase and understand intuitive messages

• Practice paying more attention to your first impressions. Notice any “gut reactions” when interviewing for a job or facing any choice.

• Notice when something seems to stand out. Does it feel positive, neutral, or “off?” Think about why. Your life purpose unfolds as you make choices.

• Begin to notice how a mental image may pop into your mind, when you are trying to make a decision to do this thing or that thing. The more you practice, the clearer intuition becomes.

• The image that pops up is an intuition. For example, take a moment to think about what to do this evening.

• Did a picture of a place or person come to mind? What significance do you find?

• Trust that the metaphysical Law of Attraction is always at work bringing people and events that match your internal life energy field.

• Whenever making choices, go in the direction of what seems to be the most positive energy.

• Synchronicity (two or more events that happen together, but are not causally linked) is often the way the Universe handles the details for you. There are no coincidences. Sometimes you don't even notice how things sometimes fall into place effortlessly. These are moments when your life purpose is a little more evident.

Warmest regards on your unfolding path,
