July 2008 Archives

A moderate quake shook Southern California yesterday and was felt all the way to Las Vegas and the Mexico border.

Having lived in Southern California for 15 years I know what an earthquake around 5 feels like. That was my first - and only - experience of a moderate quake. Happily, I missed the big Northridge shaker because I was in Dallas with my husband at the time. He was performing there in January of 1994.

I had a concert of my own back home in Los Angeles six days after that earthquake struck.  So I had booked a flight from Dallas to LAX in the weeks before. It landed on January 18 a day after the earthquake. I was stunned  when I saw the deserted streets while driving from the airport and thanked my lucky stars.

My own experience came when I was living on the third floor of a condo in 1989. The quake struck early in the morning and, believe me I was pretty shook up. The East Coast and London were my only previous homes prior to that experience.

So I sympathize with all the non-natives in Southern Cal. Luckily for them it was only a wake-up call. There is a numerological message connected to yesterday's tremblor I'd like to share with you.

Having just completed my book on how the numbers in U.S. history affect the November Election, I've had a good look at how historical events are intricately connected through numbers.

So I was particularly curious about the numbers signified by the time, date and magnitude of yesterday's quake. After seeing the recipe of numbers I knew they might be forecasting an event in the near future. A 5.8 quake downgraded to 5.4 magnitude at 11:42 am on the 29th of July is significant for three reasons.

1. The time of the earthquake activates the number 11 both for the time on the clock, namely the 11th hour of the morning, as well as the Day, July 29 which reduces to 11. This is a number which can signify great division and separation, which is precisely what a fault line does. It separates, opening up a rift. There is another deeper side to this Master Number. 11 symbolizes an open gateway towards greater understanding and wisdom.

2. Every earthquake relieves stress. The Number 42 for the Ancient Egyptians signified a completion of a 42 year cycle. This means a turning of the tides, leaving the old behind by releasing the past. The 5.4 magnitude adds up to 9. When I see this number in a current cycle, meaning a date or time, it represents the ending of a cycle and the release of everything which is no longer useful. So these two numbers, 42 and 9, are very connected. In fact 42 reduces to 6 which is the number of your home. What is more affected than the structures we live in when the earth shakes.

3. Adding all the digits in 11:42 am results in the number 8. And the original magnitude reported yesterday was 5.8 which reduces to 13/4. This is where the fateful nature of the earthquake comes in. 8 and 4 are magnetically and fatefully connected.

So, I'm gathering, the next big one won't be 30 years from now. The timeline is more like months to within four years from yesterday's quake.

There's much more I can say about the Number 8, including how it ties into the 1994 Northridge quake which occurred on January 17 - an 8 Day. In fact, I'll be talking more about this powerful number before the Olympics get started next week. China is banking its success on activating this powerful and fateful number.

The 4 or 8 may be affecting your life as well. If one of the important numbers in your Personal Numerology Blueprint is 4 or 8, I make sure your current allows you to BENEFIT from the immense resources these two numbers bring into your life.

You see these are numbers anyone would want. As long as ancient laws are followed. It's the complete recipe of your numbers profile that matters. So I always look at the whole picture.

Your current name allows me to adjust these ingredients and create a masterpiece for you.

I don't drink coffee, but I like meeting friends who do. When a friend asked me to meet her for coffee at a local Starbucks on Saturday, an interesting thing happened.

Halfway there we were stopped by construction traffic, changed our plans, made a U-Turn and ended up at another café.

This little detour away from Starbucks reminded me about the company's current woes. Earlier this month news came that signifies a 'Starbucks on every corner' might not be ringing so true anymore soon.

Starbucks revealed they're closing 600 stores, most of which opened since 2006. That means as many as 12,000 current employees are leaving the company. The company's stock has been sliding for a year and is now down nearly 50 percent.

All this comes as no surprise.

You see 'Starbucks' adds up to 26/8 in the Chaldean system - the one I use for current names. You would think an 8 name is good for business. It depends on the number. A 26/8 name will attract wealth, that's true. At the same time this number has a way of being quite extravagant.  One sign of this is that the person or company with this name number is tempted to invest in other people's projects and can therefore be taken advantage of.

For example, Starbucks at first was known for it's good gourmet coffee. When we travel, my husband Clay knows he can always find a good espresso at any Starbucks. Consistency was the key.

Then the core of their business expanded. Really expanded. They began selling other company's products. Like New Age music CDs.

The extravagance and fateful nature of the 26 came into full force when Starbucks began producing movies such as the box office bomb 'Akilah and the Bee.' The title for that movie by the way is a 13/4 which connects it fatefully to the 26/8 name for 'Starbucks.' The combo of Starbucks' 8 name and 'Akilah and the Bee's '4' name was a hint there could be challenges on the horizon.

Then entrepreneur Howard Schultz bought a basketball team and began hanging out with old-time rock stars. Never a good idea. Remember the warnings - beware of behaving extravagantly and beware of listening to bad advice. Well, by now those were in full force.

Now Starbucks is trying to recover by making a new brewed coffee called Pike Place to match what Dunkin Donuts offers. That's a good move. However they're also going to branch out into 'healthy' protein boosted smoothies and a new frozen drink.

I predict Starbucks won't recover to previous heights. Unless they reinvent themselves with a new fortunate name.

Luckily their company name is 'Starbucks Corporation'. I say luckily because that name adds up to a highly fortunate number. So the company will survive. Their coffeehouse chain named 'Starbucks' though needs to they reinvent itself.

Reinventing yourself from time to time is a good thing to do in any case. Life isn't meant to be a battle. Life is a game of the imagination. Someone imagined a gourmet coffeehouse on every corner and manifested the idea into reality. With their current hurdles, a new approach is needed.

Someone once said that imagination is the 'scissors of the mind.' Yes indeed. Imagination - a word which adds up to the powerfully creative 33 - is constantly reinventing itself.

Now Starbucks Corporation could use those pair of scissors to cut a new version of their flagship store, which includes - a revised fortunate name.

P.S. Your own name is only limited by your imagination. Make sure it adds up to a good, helpful number.

Barack Obama hit a home-run during his 'world tour' last week according to the media. Especially in Europe where it looked like he was running for President.

I was interested in that Berlin speech he gave on Thursday. Not so much what he said, though that was interesting too, but the date itself.

My mom grew up in Berlin. She took me and my younger sister to see her home town, including the Brandenburg Gate when I was a young girl. This was before the wall came down. What an impression that wall made on me at the time. I shall never forget it.

Obama spoke to 200,000 Germans and Europeans on July 24. That's a lot of non-Americans showing up for a campaign speech for an American Senator running for U.S. President. Not surprisingly the date of this extravaganza lined up in a big way with Obama's Personal Numerology Blueprint.

It also harkened memories of another young politician, one with whom Obama is often compared to - a comparison he seems to be relishing. He even initially wanted to speak at the Brandenburg Gate just like this other famous politician did when he uttered the famous line 'Ich bin ein Berliner.'

Of course, I'm talking about President John F. Kennedy.

Obama's campaign speech was moved to another Berlin location because the Chancelor of Germany, Angela Merckel, knew it was exactly that - a campaign speech.

So how does the date of his speech indicate not only Obama's stature but also his possible future.

Let's recap July is a 29/11 Personal Month for Obama, tying directly to his own 29/11 Life Purpose. He's also in a 22/4 Personal Year throughout 2008 tying in with his Day of Birth on the 4th.

Last Thursday a third big number was activated - his current name - creating a triple whammy. 'Barack Obama' adds up to 17/8, the 'Immorality Number'. Well July 24 was a 35/8 Personal Day for him. So three important numbers were activated on the day of his big speech - the one whose picture was meant to evoke memories of JFK.

And there's another clue explaining the unseen forces when it comes to lining up the important numbers in your blueprint with your current cycles.

You see, President John F. Kennedy had two big 35/8s in his life. He was the 35th President. And he died in his 35/8 Personal Year. He was also born on the 29th.  Many lightbulbs go off in my head when I see these kinds of symbolic connections.

Remember, Obama's speech, meant to invoke memories of JFK, occurred on a 35/8 Personal Day for him.

And since 8 also happens to be a fateful number, it was no surprise that he had some controversy to deal with later in the day. Obama was due to visit U.S. troops at a military hospital in Germany, a visit he abruptly canceled, because it may have been perceived as 'political.' Hmm. No wonder McCain had a field day with that one. Give a 'non-political' speech in front of 200,000 Germans which is broadcast live all over the world and then scrub a visit with wounded troops because it might be seen as political.

A controversial and fateful day for Obama indeed. There is more to this story as well which I'll reveal in my upcoming book 'The Unrevealed Secrets of Political Success.'

What is so fabulous about numbers is how they will always explain the story behind the story. If there's a big event in your life, past or future, the numbers for that day, month or year will reveal all the 'hows' and 'whys' relating to it. And allow you to make the best decisions.

In this newsletter I'll be explaining the amazing symbols to come as we head into the final three months before the November 4 Election.

Meanwhile, make sure you're tapping into all your resources. The first step is to see whether your name is fortunate - or not.

The other is to know What your resources are. Your gifts are all laid out for you in your Personal Numerology Blueprint.

It’s been a great year for Will Smith and Cameron Diaz. Both are the top earners when it comes to acting in Hollywood.

The announcement comes as Smith is enjoying a runaway hit with his movie ‘Hancock.’ Hancock happens to add up to the same number as Will Smith’s Personal Year right now. I don’'t think its success is a coincidence.

The number both have going for them is 26/8, signifying power and wealth which are often acquired through fateful events. You could say that this amazing 26/8 lineup between movie title and its star, qualifies as an event which was destined to happen. Plus, the 26/8 acivates Smith’'s Destiny number –- an 8. So this year is especially important for him.

Whenever your Personal Year matches one of the important numbers in your blueprint, it gets very active. Much more can be accomplished – and often there are great rewards. Depending, of course, on whether you HELP to make it happen. Will Smith certainly has. And seeing his name at the top of Hollywood’s top earners is a testament to his will and perseverance.

If the number 8 rewards anything, it’s the willingness to leapfrog all perceived obstacles in your life.

Since Will Smith’'s Life Purpose is a 4, he is bound to be affected by dates and his own cycles which add up to 4 and 8. These two numbers are magnetically attracted to each other. It makes perfect sense then that his big hit and big year add up to 8.

The amount he earned, 80 millyon, even taps into this vibration. 80 reduces to 8. On a side-note, after Jada Pinkett married Will Smith she changed her name to Jada Pinkett-Smith. Guess which number her current name adds up to. Yup. 26/8. I also noticed Johnny Depp, who came in second, has a Personal Year right now which exactly matches his Life Purpose Number.

Cameron Diaz is the top earner for the ladies. No surprise there either. Diaz is born on a 30/3 Day and her Life Purpose is also 30/3. This makes the Number 3 a highly important number in her life. It’s no coincidence then that today’'s announcement places her on top of the Hollywood leader-board.

Here’'s why.

2008 is a 21 Personal Year for Cameron. And 21 reduces to 3. For most people 21/3 Personal Years are very rewarding. Second place finisher Keira Knightley is also in a 21/3 Personal Year right now. For Cameron, since the number 3 plugs right into two of the most important numbers in her Personal Numerology Blueprint, it’'s clear why she’'s benefiting especially from the great tidings this cycle brings.

Numbers will always help you see what’s possible. You can discover the timing for your most successful periods. Remember, it’s not just your Personal Year, but your months and days as well. In fact, it’s a mistake to think abundance will only occur during certain years in your life. Yes, some years it will be easier. But you have many cycles. And months and days figure into the equation in a big way as well.

For example, notice July 2008 is a 1 Personal Month for Cameron Diaz – and she’s listed as number 1. July is a 33/6 Personal Month for Will Smith. 33/6 is an incredible number for success. You'’re always given opportunities.

So be sure to pay attention to your Personal Year, Months and Days.

  On the current edition of my radio show I profile Edgar Cayce's blueprint. I was amazed by what I found out about his name and numbers.

Edgar Cayce, also known as the 'Sleeping Prophet' and one of the most mysterious men of the last century, was born on March 18, 1877. The two numbers I immediately noticed were the 18 Day of Birth and the 77th year of that century.

The two-digit year in any century that you are born in is an important indicator as well. For example, if you were born in 1968, the number 68/14/5 as well as 6 and 8 also figure into your overall profile and tendencies.

As for Edgar Cayce, that 77th year is highly significant. First of all, 7 is the number of mystery, spiritual and intellectual thirst and knowledge, great analytical abilities and a kind of singular independence.

When the 7 is doubled, it turns into master number 77. With master numbers more is asked of you. Many highly successful people, or people who are pillars of their community, have at least one master number. They usually know on some level they are here to 'master' a talent, a specific task or be a master teacher.

77 is also referred to as the 'Christ Consciousness' number.

Cayce is a wonderful example of someone who tapped into the numbers in his blueprint in an exceptional manner.

His Life Purpose Number was a 35/8, and his Destiny Number a 45/9. These are both leadership vibrations.

They are also the numbers of a visionary. 45 is a highly sensitive and mystical vibration which can indicate great intuitive abilities. Often I see someone who is an outstanding example in his or her field of expertise. Cayce certainly was.

Along with giving Cayce great courage and fortitude to face challenges, his 45 Destiny made him secretive and proud.

Did you know Cayce never willingly released a photo of himself to the media. He wanted to remain anonymous. So the New York Times interviewed his parents at their home and snuck out a photo of Cayce.

Then the NY Times published it on their front page. The man was famous, and so they wanted a photo.

Edgar Cayce was meant to be in the spotlight. It's clear based on his numbers as to why he was able to generate so much interest as a medical intuitive, his specialty, and build a major enterprise surrounding his intuitive gifts.

The combination of his Destiny and Life Purpose Numbers could have made Cayce feel like an outsider. This is particularly true when you add his 18/9 day of Birth - a challenging number.

Luckily for Cayce, his current name adds up to a wonderful vibration - 10, the Instant Manifestation Number. His 10 name magnified his intuition even more. This number symbolizes Love and Light. The power for manifesting your creative ideas into reality is truly remarkable with this number.

As often happens when you have a prominent 4 or 8 in your Personal Numerology Blueprint, as Cayce does, you are magnetically attracted to other 4s and 8s - and that includes dates. Edgar Cayce died on January 3, 1945. This date adds up to 35/8, his Life Purpose Number.

During his life he would have been magnetically drawn to people and dates who have a 4 or 8 in their blueprint.

The year within the century that he passed away, 45, reflects his Destiny Number.

As you can see, his date of death is filled with symbols. Numbers which mirror why he was here and what his destiny was. This means, Edgar Cayce allowed his gifts to blossom to the fullest extent possible. You could say, he was a man on a mission to help others using the 6th sense as his guide. Many consider him to be the greatest intuitive of the 20th century.

Another example of a highly fortunate name is the title of his 1943 biography.

This bestseller, 'There Is a River', adds up to the number of spiritual alchemy and compelling charisma. It certainly helped in cementing his great legacy.

I just got an alert about this year’s Emmy Award nominations which were announced this morning. I wasn’t surprised to see the critically-acclaimed, popular series ‘Lost’ on the list. Whether it wins or not, this series has already left a huge mark on American popular culture. References to the story line – survivors of an airline crash live on a mysterious South Pacific island – have appeared all over the media map including other tv shows, songs, commercials, a video game. The name ‘Lost’ adds up to the ‘Immortality Number’, 17/8. 17 is a powerful number bestowing long-lasting success on the person or product it is named for. So ‘Lost’ is set up to be a show many generations will watch on DVDs and reruns. Another nominated show in the drama arena is ‘Damages’ starring Glenn Close. This series began airing last July and is already a hit worldwide. No wonder. ‘Damages’ adds up to 21 which is a really fortunate vibration in the Chaldean system. Both ‘Lost’ and ‘Damages’ may not necessarily win – though I think ‘Damages has a great chance, since the Emmy’s take place on Setpember 21. What their fortunate names indicate is the amazing commercial success these shows already enjoy. On the comedy end of things, ‘The Office’ has a great name. It resonates to 10, the ‘Instant Manifestation’ Number. Spin-offs of this series were created in Brazil, Germany and Quebec. However, only the U.S. used the same title ‘The Office’ secured from the original BBC hit. The benefits have been enormous. Names, whether they are your own, a movie title, a website or a product name, have an undeniable effect. For this reason, I tell all my clients – if you want to do just one thing, make sure the current name you are using now is fortunate. I’m extending my Summer Special for a short while longer, so there’s no better time to check your name than Now. Warmest Regards, Tania Gabrielle P.S. You will want to listen to the guest I had on my radio show last week. It’s a brand new look at an ancient Chinese science with author and Compass Feng Shui expert Chriss Barr.

Last night I was reading an article about Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, when something suddenly occurred to me. With my cross-country move a couple of weeks ago, I’ve let a couple of things slip. And this one is big. I forgot to tell my webmaster in North Carolina to take down my Summer Special page. So I’m giving you one last chance to improve your life with numerology – at Summer Special rates. Here it is. One final opportunity to enhance your name, discover your greatest talents, get an inside look at your next 12 months, or find out whether you’re living at a good address. As for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac – looks like bail-out time again for these financial companies. What particularly got my attention are the numbers coming from Wall Street on Friday. It’s fascinating and definitely a forecast of what’s in store for the rest of the year. On Friday, with Freddie and Fanny’s shares plunging fast, the Dow Jones industrial average went down more than 200 points, even dipping below 11,000 at one point. Later that day, rumors leaked that the Federal Reserve Board might help out F and F, just like it has recently done with other investment banks. That rumor calmed the market. As a result - The Dow Jones average gained 100 points, closing at 11,100 on July 11, down 1.1 percent. It’s those numbers which got my immediate attention. What does this mean. We are all in a 1 year right now – 2008 reduces to 10 and 1 plus 0 equals 1. So 2008 begins the first 9 year cycle originating during our new 21st century. The last universal 9 year cycle which ended in 2007, began in 1999. When so many 1s, 11s and 111 are activated at once, in the same location - namely Wall Street - and when these 1s also align with the date, July 11th and occur during 1 year, you can bet something is up. On one level, financial markets and institutions are being forced to break new ground. Some will go under, others will tap into any and all available resources. As a result of this, we the people are being asked to use far more creativity. It is a definite turning of the tide. On a deeper level, the Number 1 represents a pillar. Two or more of these 1s symbolize pillars of success and change. To the subconscious mind these pillars are gateways. In ancient times, a person undergoing an initiation would pass through a set of pillars. Even the exact middle of the word ‘pillar’ has a visible representation of what it symbolizes. Passing through pillars means leaving behind the past, getting inspired on the precipice and stepping boldly into an unknown future. This whole year is symbolic of the 11, 111 and 11:11 symbolism. Additionally, take another look at the numbers arising from Wall Street on Friday - the Dow Jones average gained 100 points, closing at 11,100 on July 11, down 1.1 percent. You’ll notice, there are also zeroes. All computer code is built on 1s and 0s. These two numbers are the building blocks of life. As for how the message contained in these numbers impacts each individual – that depends on your attitude towards change, creativity and courage. What I will say is that this year is an amazing and important cycle to get a fresh perspective one everything you believe to be true. It is a big year of preparation for what’s to come next year, in 2009. Notice the digits for next year add up to 11. So, Wall Street, a numbers game for the world of finance, is reflecting what is natural and inevitable – each one of us is experiencing new things, as we make new internal and external discoveries resulting in brand new conclusions. Every part of life is affected. The result of all these 1s and 0s – after all we are in a 2008 – 10 – 1 Universal Year, is complete renewal. You can see this reflected in natural events all over the world as well. Everything and everyone is feeling it. Now, more than ever, trust your intuition. One great way to do this is to pay attention to your numbers. To help you understand and activate the numeric symbols unique to you, be sure to visit my Summer Special while it’s still active today.

Last night, after marveling at another beautiful sunset, I checked up on the news from the Entertainment world. Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban welcomed a baby girl four days ago. They must have been expecting her a day early or been so exhausted they lost track of time. Or maybe they forgot their baby naming book at home. Who knows. They named their little girl ‘Sunday’. She was born on Monday. I dug up some other crazy names from people frequenting LaLaLand. One thing’s for sure, they ARE entertaining. Bruce Willis and Demi Moore put things into high gear in the late 1980s with their three daughters Rumor, Scout and Tallulah. The last one at least IS a name. Then there was Sonny and Cher’s Chastity Bono, Melanie Brown’s child Phoenix Chi, Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin’s daughter Apple, Toni Braxton’s kids Diezel and Denim, Sting’s daughter Fuchsia and Penn Gillette’s daughter Moxy Crimefighter. No I’m not kidding on that last one. The good news is Nicole and Keith chose a name which adds up to a fortunate number. If ‘Sunday Rose Kidman Urban’ goes by ‘Sunday Urban’ in the Chaldean system, she’ll do well. Her other choices, ‘Sunday Kidman’ and ‘Sunday Kidman Urban’ add up to good numbers as well. So, aside from the occasional weird looks and taunting in school, Sunday has a good name. Now I’ll switch gears and focus on the latest in politics. I have to say, writing my book – now in its final stages – has given me incredible insights into U.S. politics and the current Presidential candidates. I’ve been somewhat out of the loop for the past few weeks due to our cross country move. But I did notice a shift in one of the two candidates this month. And it did not surprise me knowing what’s going on ‘on the inside’ with his personal numbers. Barack Obama is in a big Personal Month right now. July 2008 matches his Life Purpose Number, 29/11. This is highly significant. The seeds he is planting now are forecasting what we’ll see as he races towards the election. Obama began a new 9 month cycle in June, when he was in a 28/1 Personal Month. Anytime someone is in a 1 Year of Month, he or she is beginning a new cycle. His new cycle was symbolized when he locked up the Democratic Nomination for President. Now the shift has begun in earnest. Here’s why. Barack Obama is currently in a Master Number 22/4 Personal Year. Since he was born on the 4th, experiencing a 22/4 Personal Year means, all he stands for and has yet to learn is being brought to the forefront. As I already menationed, Barack is ALSO in a 29/11 Personal Month. So, for Obama, July directly mirrors his Life Purpose Number which is 29/11. As a result, we are getting a much closer look at the man and his principles. One event which caught my attention was Obama’s 180 degree flipflop on the wiretapping law, also called FISA. Barack’s main financial support by far has come from liberals denouncing the bill. He has repeatedly said on no uncertain terms that he agreed with them. In fact, Obama promised to filibuster the FISA bill earlier this year. Instead, two days ago on July 9, he voted for it. What I see is this. The day of the vote Obama was experiencing an 11 Personal Day along with his 22/4 Personal Year and 29/11 Personal Month. A triple activation of his true nature was in force on Wednesday. You could liken it to a powerful magnification. Made even more strong by the fact that it was a triple day of Master Numbers – 22, 11, 11. In some ways, that vote made it a day of reckoning. He was face to face with himself when he made his decision. Obama’s vote for the bill revealed his true nature. He chose to go against his word and vote for a plan which would broaden the government's ability to spy on its citizens. Of course, the core of his supporters were stumped. I wasn’t because I understand both sides of his numbers. Interestingly, John Mc Cain ALSO has the 29/11 prominent in his blueprint. He’s not in a 29/11 month right now like Obama, but he IS in a 29/11 Personal Year. Watch out for September when he’ll experience an 11 month as well. 11s are leadership numbers, yet this vibration can pull you in too many directions – pleasing too many people and feeling divided as a result. Flip flopping is one of the negative expressions of this number. You see, numbers are symbols, and symbols describe the essence of a person or an event. Mind you, there is always a choice. Of course, flip-flopping is nothing new. Any politician who really wants to win the Presidency of the U.S. in this day and age, has to appeal to such a broad base. And to be clear, I don’t endorse either candidate. Both McCain and Obama are people whom I look at purely from a numerological perspective. You’ll hear the good, the bad and the ugly on all sides of the aisle. My role is to allow names and numbers to shed light on the world we are living in – and right now that world is consumed by the upcoming election and other international events which I will address soon. On a final note I want to thank you for your patience while we settle into our new home in Arizona. Writing to all of you again is such a joy and a daily highlight. Warmest Regards, Tania Gabrielle

Since we moved a few days ago, I wasn’t able to catch the Wimbledon Finals over the weekend. Number one, our TV won’t be hooked up until Friday. And number two, I’ve been unpacking. I did read online between opening boxes that Venus Williams beat her sister Serena to continue her reign as Queen of Wimbledon. As for the men, the final yesterday is already considered to be the best tennis match ever played. So I had to check out the numbers of both players. Years ago, during my tennis watching days, I attended some matches at Wimbledon’s Centre Court and watched such greats as Steffi Graf, Boris Becker, Monica Seles and Andre Agassi from just a few feet away. Today Roger Federer is the King of Tennis, though he’s having a tough time of it in 2008. He’s been the number 1 ranked player for a record 232 straight weeks. The Swiss phenom has won 12 Grand Slam singles titles. He’s made it to 10 straight Grand Slam finals between the 2005 Wimbledon Championships through the 2007 U.S. Open – one of his many records. A number of tennis experts consider him the best player in history. Interestingly, Federer and Tiger Woods are close friends. Yesterday he lost to another amazing athlete, Spaniard Rafael Nadal. I immediately noticed both their first names, Roger and Rafael, begin with an R, a very forward moving, brilliant letter. Look at the loop at the top. It represents the head and an ability to think clearly, to ingest knowledge and use it creatively. At this point the letter looks like a P. The R has a leg moving forward coming directly from the head. This symbolizes moving ahead by using forward thinking. Many great teachers, writers and leaders have Rs in their name. Since the circle at the top is closed, it means these people retain their knowledge and think deeply about things. Rs are a Number 9 letter and represent completion. Now back to yesterday’s Wimbledon Final and a closer look at Roger Federer. He was born on the 8th day of the 8th month. Having a prominent 8 in his Personal Blueprint not only gives him strength, leadership and a yearning for wealth, but also challenges him to test his strength by overcoming obstacles. Many great athletes have 8s in their blueprints. Right now Federer happens to be in a 26/8 Personal Year in 2008. This makes things challenging - more so for him, since the 8 is mirrored in his blueprint. He will have many mental and physical obstacles to overcome all year. Consider Roger started out the year in Australia with a stomach virus which forced him to pull out of his first tournament of 2008. His winning streak so far has not matched the past few years, and yesterday he partly blamed poor lighting for his loss to Rafael Nadal. The match was so close it went on for a long time. Longer than any other final. London only stays light for so long, and both players could barely see the ball during the 5th set. Had Nadal not come through in the final game of the match, play would have been suspended and continued today. Federer would have loved that scenario. But it wasn’t to be. Then consider Rafael Nadal is in a 19/1 Personal Year and it’s clear why the match went his way yesterday. When an athlete experiences a 1 year of any kind, he or she Feels like Number 1. Any obstacle is seen as an opportunity to inch ahead of your competitor – such as last night when both players couldn’t even see the ball. Roger Federer will be back – there’s no doubt in my mind. Next year he’ll be in an extraordinary 27/9 cycle. Congratulations to both players. On another note of celebration, many of you were enjoying the 4th of July weekend and didn’t find out about my Summer Special until now. If you’ve already responded to this Special, many thanks. If you haven’t there’s still a little more time. I’ve decided to extend it one more day. Check it out Now here. Warmest Regards, Tania Gabrielle

Tonight it’s time for fireworks. We’ll be watching them in the Western skies for the first time since we moved from California five years ago. The digits for 7.4.1776 add up to 32/5. The Day of Birth is a 4. Let’s look at these two numbers more closely and get a unique view of America. This 4 and 5 combination is complex and powerful. The 32/5 is a number of action and adventure. Any person or country with this vibration must have high goals. At the same time the U.S. has to be patient and persistent. 5 lies right in the middle of numbers 1 through 9. In a sense it represents the tip of the mountain. Many talents are given with this number – this is why determination and persistence are key in order to stay on track. Otherwise the talents can lie dormant or be scattered. 32 is a magical number giving protection and victory. Look at the following words adding up to 32 in the Pythagorean system – ‘America’, ‘Glory’, ‘Circle’ and ‘Power’ – words which truly symbolize this vibration. 32 is also a warrior-like number. Many great athletes have it in their blueprint. The love of sports – and winning – is very strong. Every number has a flipside and so it is with the 32. There’s a tendency to feel proud and superior resulting in impatience, restlessness, and being careless and impulsive. So, since 5 symbolizes freedom and adventure – the flipside is being a reckless daredevil. Having this Life Purpose Number brings tremendous confidence – even overconfidence. It also gives a charming, social and outgoing personality, something Americans are known for. 32 was known by the ancients as the ‘Politician’s Number,’ because it symbolizes leadership, justice and authority. Freedom is absolutely necessary with any 5. The U.S. won’t ever want to be fenced in, to be told what to do. This country wants to lead. 5 is also the number of the salesperson. Clearly the U.S. understands big business. Small business owners thrive in this country. ‘Selling’ U.S. culture, like Hollywood movies and fast food, is totally in line with a 32/5 Life Purpose. American cultural icons are known worldwide – Madonna, Michael Jackson, rap, hip-hop, Superman, Star Wars, the Matrix movies, Steven Spielberg, Mickey Mouse, Elvis Presley, Tom Cruise, Marilyn Monroe, John F. Kennedy, Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, Mike Tyson, Venus Williams, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Julia Roberts, Tom Hanks and Leonardo diCaprio are names known worldwide. The big lesson with this number is to watch out for the ego. Over-confidence, pride and arrogance will prevent this magical and powerful number from carrying out its mission of freedom, justice and victory over suppression. When you add the 4th of July to the mix – a 4 Day - things get even more interesting. 4 represents building foundations, discipline, order and hard work. No wonder, Americans work longer hours and have less vacation time than the rest of the Western world. 4 is also an enigma. If you’re born on the 4th, 13th, 22nd or 31st, you make your own rules – many of which are not ‘politically correct.’ This is a very original number. As a result, certain mannerisms and words may shock others. Anything unusual appeals to a 4 person or country. If a 4 is told something is impossible, he or she will catapult into proving that it IS possible. The penchant for breaking records and succeeding at the highest levels is great. One interesting tidbit with the 4 is that it represents change on many levels. However, personal habits don’t fall under this category – many 4s are reluctant and stubborn about their own habits. This is partly because they are allergic to others wanting to mold them into a more ‘safe’ and acceptable social pattern. These two numbers 32/5 and 4 really give great insights into the birthday for the U.S. It is a powerful, complex and glorious blueprint. In the right hands, this country stands for the greatest gift of all – Freedom from Fear. Even the name “Independence Day” ties in to the three numbers of freedom, change and leadership. Have a great 4th of July! Tania Gabrielle P.S. My Summer Special is going strong. Go to Now and check out the fun.
