A numerology chart can be created for anything that has a name and a date of birth. This can apply to a business, a pet, or a ceremony, as well as a person's name and birthdate. All I need to know is the full name of the subject and the birth date. Unlike Astrology, Numerologists don't need to know the time or place of birth. Once I have that information, I work out the relevent numbers and begin the chart. Depending upon the type of chart, they take between one and two full days to complete.

Each chart is written individually, I do not use any numerology software packages. My knowledge is derived from a synthesis of a wide variety of ancient teachings, including perspectives of vibrational science and spirituality accessed by Pythagoras, Plato, Rudolph Steiner/Anthroposophy, the Ancient Egyptian Mystery Schools, the Essenes, the Mayan chronicles, the Melchizedek, Rosicrucian and Freemasonary brotherhoods, Druidism, Gnostic Christianity, African Traditional Religions, Islam, Hinduism, Buddism, Sufism, the Kabbalists, and so on. What inspires me is that the spiritual science of vibration is documented throughout all the earths religions, cultures and spiritual paths, leading us all back to UNITY.

I integrate a variety of relevant symbolism within the written charts, referring to the sacred geometry of the numbers, the corresponding Tarot cards, I - Ching hexagrams, Astrological indicators, colours, and words that have the same vibration as the one under investigation. The qualities, characteristics and challenges of the particular vibrations are discussed in great detail, and are synthesised with one another to give a completely unique profile. I like to make the information as practically applicable to one's life as possible.

Numerology is a subject that expands the more you work with it and since I have been creating charts, their length has increased from 10 pages long to the current length of, on average, 18 A4 pages. I prefer to work with the written word, rather than have consultation sittings because of the extent of the information that is revealed. I don't feel that an hour long sitting does the subject justice. People will often reveal more details about themselves in a face-to-face situation, and I find clients find it much more exciting and fascinating to see how accurate and thought-provoking the information is when they know that they have not influenced the reading in any way.

I also feel it is more useful and relevent to have a printed reading that one can refer to continuously. Many of my clients have remarked upon the revelations that appear when re-reading their charts further down the line. Of course this has great relevence to the personal year charts especially, but even the Birth Name & Date charts seem to have a fluidity that flows with the reader as they move through their life journey.

Personal Mandala Birth Name/Date charts:

By looking at the numbers in our birth dates and the numerical values of the letters in our birth names, we can determine four personal numbers that articulate in great detail our Soul Purpose, Destiny Path, Life Lessons and Personality. I use these numbers and integrate the logical and intuitive aspects of these vibrational frequencies to create personal mandalas that make visible your unique vibrational signature. The written reading explains in detail the significance of the forms and colours in the personal mandala, as well as the characteristics, qualities and challenges that the particular number vibrations express. This chart takes 2 days to complete, or longer, depending upon the size of the painting. Visit the Personal Mandalas page to find out more.

Birth Name/Date charts:

The four personal numbers that express the Soul Purpose, Destiny Path, Life Lessons and Personality are explored and synthesised in a written reading. These charts are the ones to choose if you require a complete overview of who you really are, why you're really here, what your challenges, talents and karmic themes are, and how you express your energy to people and how they perceive you. This chart takes 1 day to complete.

Business name charts:

These charts give the big picture of the business' deeper purpose, destiny, challenges and successes, and public image. I have produced a number of mandalas for businesses, and the mandala is often used as a logo to reflect the ethos of the venture. Having the painted mandala displayed at the business premises reflects and focuses the vibrational essence of the original intent behind the business. These charts take 1-3 days to complete, depending upon whether the mandala is required.

Personal Year charts:

In this chart, I concentrate on finding out what vibrations will be influencing you over one year, running from birthday to birthday. We can use Numerology on all sorts of levels. Your Birth Name/Date Life chart shows you the "fixed" vibrations that are crystallized in the name and birthdate, that stay with you and influence you throughout your whole life. But we can also uncover and focus upon the influence of the more transient vibrations that effect us each year, every 4-months, and the vibrations that will be influencing us on a monthly basis, too. This is more of a vibrational forecast chart and is very good for planning and responding to what the year holds for you. This chart takes 1-2 days to complete.

Relationship charts:

Usually, two Birth Name charts are completed and then compared to establish the dynamics that exist between the two charts. A particular focus is put upon the corresponding Life Lesson numbers, the area of the chart that can give most insight to our karmic paths. However, all the numbers are investigated and a complete profile of the strengths, weaknesses, challenges and deeper, karmic story of the realtionship is revealed in detail. These charts take 2 - 3 days to complete.

Family Karma charts:

In this chart, we look at the relationships between the family members, their compatibility, their areas of conflict and karma, and the roles that each plays out, either facilitating or retarding the growth of other family members. We can either do complete birth name and date charts and then compare and synthesise them, or create a summary of each family member's 4 personal numbers, and then embark on the comparison dynamics.

The first area to look at is the Life Lesson vibration, because this gives great insight to our initial karmic reasons for incarnating with one another. We often say, "you can choose your friends, but you can't choose your family", especially when we're upset or angry at family interference. However, we must be aware that this statement is false when we consider the notions of karma and reincarnation. In many diverse doctrines of Reincarnation, the concept is often expressed that the family we are born into is significant in our journey of karmic development. Very often our close family members are spirits who have incarnated with us before in other lifetimes and sometimes under very different circumstances. We get together again in this lifetime because we have karmic ties to one another; we are magnetized towards each other to fulfill the destiny of that karmic connection, whatever it may be.

Karma is here to show us the consequences of our actions, and that we must take responsibility for creating our own realities with every thought, belief and action we take. So the teachings that families bring to one another have the potential to empower the individual with great insight into the self. Along with the Life Lesson vibrations, the Path of Destiny numbers are equally important in revealing the karmic lessons and stories of family incarnations. The Life Lesson numbers reveal the skills, aspirations and areas of challenge that we work with, and these work in accordance with karmic and dharmic cycles that are expressed as we chart and find our way on our Destiny path this lifetime, so these two areas of the chart interweave and try to achieve a state of harmony and balance. These charts take 2- 4 days to complete.

Marriage charts:

The golden rule in classic Numerological practice is to always use the birth name, the one that has been written down in an official identity document, usually the birth certificate. People change their name when they get married or when they feel an affinity with a name that they feel expresses more of their true nature. What happens when the name we use now is different from the birth name?

Well, the new name vibration is activated in our lives, and rather than take over from the original vibratory code of our birthname, it blends with and influences these vibrations. The birth name is like a vibratory web that anchors us to the earth for this life-time. Within that web we can sound in and catch new vibrations, but the original pattern underpins and holds the new vibration. This is always the case when the wife decides to take on the husband's surname. So, when we add up your name with your Husband's surname, we can say that the new numbers will influence your original birth-name vibrations, each in their own particular aspect.

When we consider a name change, we are considering whether or not to take on board a new vibration, one that will directly influence 3 of our four personal numbers. Obviously, the Life Lesson number stays the same because this is the vibration derived from your birthdate. These charts take 2 days to complete.

9 year cycle Life charts:

This is an ancient method used by Pythagoras to determine the 9 year cycle vibrations that influence us as we tread life's path. Numbers that are derived from the name and the individual letters in the name, and the birthdate, are plotted along the sides of 3 squares that are joined together by a Pythagorean triangle which lies at the centre of this geometric template. Each edge of the squares plot a 9 year path that is governed by a particular vibration.

The 3 squares also represent 27 year cycles (3 x 9 years), that form an "umbrella" vibration under which the 9 year vibrations operate. The Youth square defines the period in our lives where the foundations of perception are built, it is during the age of 0-27 that our awareness of the self and reality in general emerges and is crystalised into belief systems that create our experience of reality.

The Power Square defines the period between the ages of 27 and 54, which is when we are focused more on survival and achievement in the material realm, it is here that we put all our plans into action. And this life phase allows us potentially more freedom because we have the opportunity to break away from the perceptual conditioning of belief systems that were forced upon us by our parents, or the ideas of our youth. Here we come into the power of the self, and it is over this period that we learn how to use this power with the respect it deserves.

And finally the WISDOM square, covering the agees of 54-81, indicates the time of our life that is naturaly more reflective. You have more time to philosophise and to assimilate and analyse the events of your life and glean the wisdom that lies at the heart of all your experiences. The diagram is labelled in a specific way to determine all these vibrations that influence you throughout your life.

This is a very detailed and lengthy chart favoured by those who want to understand and pinpoint the major and minor experiences that have shaped their current lifetime. It includes a full Birth name and date chart, and goes into great detail about the destiny path.These charts take 3 days to complete.

What's in a Name?

The golden rule with Numerology charts is to use the birth-name, in other words, the name that appears on the birth certificate, or an official birth document. The full name, including all middle names and the surname is used. When the chosen name is written down in physical form, it anchors that vibratory coding into form, rather like sounding a bell, or begining your signature tune.

One of the most commonly asked questions I hear is "How can the name your parents chose reflect the vibrations YOU want to work with?" This is often asked by people who dislike their name, and/or their parents, or never use their birthname. My answer is that the incarnate self, the soul, spirit, or higher self, influences the parents to choose a particular name that carries the frequencies it wants to work with this lifetime. Quite often when a person dislikes a name, it reflects a particularly challenging vibration that the soul has chosen. I have done many charts for people who were initially against me using their birthname, but when the chart was completed, they resonated with it totally, and they gained deep insight to certain challenging aspects of their lives.

At one time, the naming process was known as the sacred ritual that it is. Many cultures regard the naming ceremony as the most important ritual in a person's life. Although in general, the westernised culture may have lost consciousness of the importance of naming, the soul/higher-self hasn't, and whether we or our parents are aware of it or not, the ancient wisdom and spiritual science of vibration is accessed when every child on the planet is named.
