Lesson 48
Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument located in the English county of Wiltshire, about two miles west of Amesbury and eight miles north of Salisbury. It is one of the most famous sites in the world. It has so much to do with numbers that some mystics have called it a prehistoric computer.
Stonehenge was a place of burial from its beginning to its zenith in the mid third millennium B.C. related to an ancient system of numerology and celestial divination that used to belong to a prehistoric Celtic style culture known as Annunnaki.
Just in case you are not from this planet and have not heard of Stonehenge it is basically a circle of very large free standing boulders that surrounds a series of several hundred burial mounds.
It's been estimated that it was built for 1500 years 2900 BCE (in the Middle Neolithic Age). The oldest part of the site consists of a circular bank and a ditch that is about 100 meters in diameter. 100 is of course a nice round holy number that symbolizes wholeness. Inside this circle there are 56 chalk holes that are about three feet in diameter. These holes are known as the Aubrey Holes.
One of the most significant things about the Aubrey holes is the way they are arranged. A CBS documentary on Stonehenge that ran in sixties ran a computer analysis of the circle and found out it was a very special location when it came to marking moon eclipses that occur in a repetitive sequence of 19 years, another 19 years and then 18 years.
When numerologists add 19 and 19 and 18 together they reach the number 56. A black stone was moved around the circle in sync with the passage of moon cycles.
This meant that every 56 days the stone would arrive at the center stone, also known as the heal stone and tell us exactly the day when a moon eclipse would occur. The fact that Stonehenge is so efficient at marking the movements of the moon and sun have also had it nicknamed the Eclipse Computer.
Of course the awe factor in all of this is that the monument itself is so prehistoric. The question absolutely is how this uncannily accurate stone computer could have been created in such a unique geographical location miles away from any stone quarry? The dating of the placement of the rocks tell us that it could not possibly be the work of the Neolithic tribes that lived at that time. It is one of the biggest mysteries in the history of mankind.
The numerology that predicts the rotational frequency of the movement of the sun and moon that is inherent in the structure of the central circle of Stonehenge is very sophisticated and also theoretical support for the idea that aliens once visited our planet and used the site as a S.I.D. or Stored Information Device.
The erection of the upright stones surrounding the Aubrey Holes came a little later in history - around 2,500 BCE. These freestanding stones are called the Sarsen Circle. The circle is exactly 100 feet in diameter.
Any numerologist or astrologer would immediately ask him or herself why thirty upright stones were erected on this site. One theory is the need to reduce the mathematical system down to twelve.
In essence a circle is 360 degrees. If you divided it by thirty you get the number 12. The number 12 was the sacred root number of the Annunnaki civilization.
The Annunnaki civilization was ruled by twelve months that were in turn ruled by twelve great Gods. This culture also was responsible for dividing the twenty four hour day into two twelve hour segments - one symbolizing day and the other night. This culture also created the twelve signs of the Zodiac.
The thirty Sarsen upright stones are harder than granite and weigh about twenty-five tons each. The big mystery behind them is that they were mined at a quarry near Marlborough Downs using tools that could not have been possibly invented by or available to that very primitive culture at that time, once again supporting the idea that Stonehenge's construction had something to do with aliens. Furthermore the Marlborough Downs quarry is over twenty miles away from the site so this also begs the question of how these primitive people transported these twenty five ton boulders all that way.
The other eerie thing is that the final construction placed each upright stone into the ground, forming the 100 foot circle with the top level of all 30 stones extraordinarily attaining the identical elevation.
The tops of these uprights were linked by a continuous ring of 30 horizontal Sarsen lintels, curved to follow the circumference of the circle. These lintels were anchored in place by ten pin an hole joints and cap stones.
This construction technique also appeared later as part of the construction of many temples in Egypt, Greece and Rome. Those structures were rectangular, rather than the circular shape of Stonehenge.
Do you have trouble finishing what you start? Maybe that has something to do with the "special letters" in your name.
Then a numerologist refers to the "special letters" in your name they are usually referring to the "Cornerstone and Capstone" letters in your first name.
The Cornerstone letter is the very first letter of your name and the Capstone is the very last letter.
The first letter of your name reveals how and what you generate things in life. The last letter of your name reveals your capacity to "walk your talk" and become accomplished in life. For example in the name Anne the Cornerstone letter is A and the Capstone letter is E.

Lesson 49
The Karma number is not really of Western numerology but more a Vedic or Indian invention. You may not relate to the idea of having a karma number if you do not believe in reincarnation however it is an interesting exercise in numerology if you do subscribe to the concept.
The Karma number is supposed to tell you about the "baggage" you are carrying over from your last lifetime that is giving you lessons to learning in this lifetime. In this sense numerology can tell you what types of karma you are carrying over from a previous life. All you need to do is calculate your Karma number.
Your Karmic number is not calculated in any way that you may have been familiar with so far. It is figured out using fadic addition.
Technically the number is based on a Magic Square that incorporates your birth date numbers and the values.
The shortcut to calculating your Karma number is found by taking the day of the month of your birth day, subtracting 1 and then reducing the number to single digit.
For instance if your birth day is June 7, 1960 you would take the day of the month of your birth day and subtract 1. You would then reduce the result by fadic addition.
The calculation would be 7-1 = 6. If the person was born on June 17th you would reduce it like this: 17-1 =16 and 1+6 = 7. The Karma number values and their meanings are listed below.
Karma Number (0)
If you reduce to a zero then it is possible you are a new soul or one that has cleared up a lot of karmic debt in your past life. This current life is one where you get to start again with a clean slate.
Karma Number (1)
The lesson of this karma number is learning to be independent. You may start off this life by being very dependent on others, with the life lesson being that you need to stand on your own two feet. This might manifest as spending most of your life single or being very successful but alone.
Karma Number (2)
The karma of this life has to do with learning how to get along with others. You may have taken advantage of others in your past life and now it is payback time. You may find yourself saddled with the responsibility of taking care of someone who is dependent on you. You may also have to learn to be less skeptical and how to trust your intuition...
Karma Number (3)
You may have been frivolous, wasteful and guilty of not taking things seriously enough. You may have also taken credit for someone else's accomplishment or cheated to get to the top somehow. Your lesson in this life is to be balanced, serious and responsible.
Karma Number (4)
You may have been lazy in your past life so in this life you will be asked to fulfill your potential. You may have to work harder than most people just to make a living. Your karma requires you to be persistent; great riches are possible if you keep doing the right thing without complaint.
Karma Number (5)
You may have been an addict, wasteful or sexually over active in your last lifetime. Your lesson in this lifetime will be symbolized by situations that necessitate that you work hard and make sacrifices so you can get ahead later. You may also be dealing with health crisis that force you to stay on the straight and narrow.
Karma Number (6)
You are dealing with the karma of betraying or abandoning your family in a past lifetime. In this lifetime you may find yourself in the position of having to care for your family or take care of someone who is ill. You may also find it hard to strike out on your own and leave the family nest.
Karma Number (7)
You are dealing with the karma of failing to pay attention to the spiritual side of your life. You may have been too focused on money in your past life so in this life it may be more challenging for you to make money. You may be dealing with an illness or chronic problem that also tests your faith.
Karma Number (8)
You may have been in a position of power and abused it somehow in your past life. It is also possible you may have exploited others for financial gain. In this life you are doomed to be a follower. You will probably have to get by in this lifetime with less money than most and you will likely have to work hard to get ahead in life.
Karma Number (9)
You are dealing with the karma of avoiding assisting or loving other people in a past life. Your lesson in this lifetime is to learn to be kind, compassionate and help others. You will probably start this life with great personal needs of your own, and will only progress in life once you learn how to be a teacher or a philanthropist in your own life.
As you can see this is not the usual way that numbers are calculated but it is interesting as the interpretations are practically the opposite of what we would normally associate with these particular number values.
Lesson 50
2010 marks the end of a 3 Universal Year which means that many of us made new friends and contacts and spent a great deal of our time socializing. As we go in to 2011, which if you reduce it adds up to a 4, the overall theme is going to being getting back to fulfilling our obligations.
Hard work of a mental or physical nature will be required of almost every number this year. In 2011 it is going to be time to get serious.
However aside from the Universal Year number (4), the year 2011 is also going to add up to a Personal Year Number for you as well.
Your Personal Year numbers are considered to be a twelve month long interlude in an epicycle that consists of the nine numbers. These Personal Year numbers run concurrently with the calendar year which has its own personal year number.
For instance let's say that your birthdates is June 7, 1960.
The Universal Year calculation for 2011 is 2+0+1+1= 4
Your Life Path number is 6 + 7 + 1+9+6+0 = 29 =2+9= 11 = 1+1 = 2
You add your 2 Life Path number to the Universal Year number 4 and you get a 6.
4 (Universal Year) +2 (Life Path number) = 6 (2011 Personal Year)
Just as a refresher your Personal Year is calculated by adding your month and day of birth to the digits of the current year. This number is unique in that it pinpoints which areas need the most development in your current nine-year cycle.
Here are the different interpretations for the Personal Year numbers:
Personal Year of 1
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you are a one that is also going through a number 1 year you have a lot to look forward to. Your rise will be rapid and profitable the drawback of this is that there may be a surplus of that driven number 1 energy. This could annoy people who are close to you because they may not understand why you insist on being so independent. Remember that you are starting a new nine year cycle. Everything you do now will affect your future. Do not hold back the inner force of creation. Be direct, daring and confident.
Personal Year of 2
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The focus is on relationships whether it be for better or worse. Many of you could fall in love. Some people also break up if they get too close and are prone to codependency. The 2 Year is usually educational or karmic in some way; not so much fun as intense. Choose your companions wisely as the ups and downs it offers will require the support of good friends.
Personal Year of 3
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In general, this is an optimistic and enthusiastic year. The time will just fly by you will feel like you are having so much fun. It is also often a good financial year particularly if you surround yourself with positive people. All in all the timing is right for you to strike out on your own, especially if you are an artist or in a creative field. In love you will also be lucky, but possibly a little too lucky.
Personal Year of 4
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you are experiencing a personal year of 4 going to finally have the opportunity to address a health challenge. The year favors healers of the brilliant medical sort so if you need a good doctor you will find one. This will be a year of hard work but there will be some time for play. It is crucial that you fulfill your obligations and try to build a more solid foundation for your finances and body.
Personal Year of 5
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is a year of unpredictable extremes. Expect a lot of travel and exciting new relationships but also a whole new set of unique new challenges and problems. Many people break up during a year 5 or face a change of residence. Finally, this is a year when you can get away with more risks than usual. It is okay to gamble a little and also take more chances for love.
Personal Year of 6
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A year six is usually one of financial prosperity. Usually new career opportunities present themselves. However usually increased responsibilities are also part of the deal. However wonderful rewards are yours if you do not shun the new. The key is to eagerly embrace each new thing that life brings you this year and not fear having to work hard to get ahead.
Personal Year of 7
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A personal year of 7 often creates a need to spend more time alone in reflection or meditation. You might feel more depressed or like you have a need to escape the world. Some people also become very obsessed with one particular creative project or one person during a 7 Personal Year.
Personal Year of 8
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is a year when things seem to finally work out, all by themselves, without too much effort or angst. The 8 year often feels like a big relief to many especially in terms of finances. You have time to relax and focus on expansion and creating your own happiness. You may also be asked to step up to the plate and be a leader of some kind.
Personal Year of 9
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you are going through a personal year then you may still be mourning the loss of something big in your life such as a family member, a spouse through divorce or job that you held for a very long time. The good news is that the two and the eight means that even through these challenges you will be embraced by the support of loved ones and you will also not want for money. All in all this is a very spiritual year, full of karmic justice and saying good-bye to those things that no longer serve you.
