August 2008 Archives

For the last few days I have tuned into the name and numbers for Hurricane Gustav. Now it's time to share what I found.

I know many of you want to know more about McCain's surprise running mate pick, Sarah Palin - and I will get to that next week - however this storm needs to be addressed now.

Take note that news of Hurricane Gustav is reaching us right in the middle of the Democratic and Republican conventions. Gustav became major news yesterday, August 29, the exact anniversary of Hurricane Katrina's hit on New Orleans.

As it happens, yesterday was also John McCain's 72nd birthday. Not only that, the August 29 day also ties in directly to Barack Obama's Life Purpose, which is 29.

Due to these numbers and in particular the information I am about to share, I foresee a devastating direct or near direct hit on New Orleans and vicinity. So, if you live near New Orleans or up the Mississippi river, please pack up and leave.

'Hurricane Gustav', interestingly another Germanic name like Hurricane Katrina, adds up to 8. This makes the storm very, very powerful. Remember 8 is the number of infinity, so the strength of this storm could be immense.

The 8 also creates a fateful quality. I believe all the levees will be affected and that the current residents of New Orleans and surrounding areas will not return for months or longer.

Consider that the name 'Gustav' alone gives fuel to the likely calamity. 'Gustav' has an 18/9 Destiny Number and a 23/5 current name. What does this mean. Well, remember that the big earthquake in China and the typhoon in Burma both struck on 18/9 days in May.

9 brings endings, release and change. 18 in the Chaldean system is about spiritual and material conflict. In fact, surrounding world events, this number specifically warns about danger from the elements, such as fire, tornadoes, floods, earthquakes, lightning and hurricanes.

And the 23/5 current name, shows that this disaster will affect many people. 5 represents crowds, risks, freedom and adventure. The 23 ties right into the Blueprint for the U.S. which has a 32/5 Life Purpose. Even the name 'America' is a 32/5.

This means the whole country will be affected by the effects of Hurricane Gustav.

And just like nominating Sarah Palin was a turning point in McCain's bid for the White House, Hurricane Gustav will hit right at the beginning of September, the 9th month of a 1 Universal Year. I will reveal more about the significance of this timing next week.

The history of numbers and names for Gustav tell a compelling story.

Tropical Storm Seven, also known as '94L' turned into Tropical Storm Gustav on August 25, 2008. The 7th depression was also known by a name '94L' which adds up to 16/7. 16 is a number of transformation often accomplished through some kind of upheaval. August 25, 2008 ALSO adds up to a 7 Day activating the 16/7 even more.

Notice that the 94 in '94L' reduces to 13/4 establishing a fateful connection with the 8 name for 'Hurricane Gustav.'

Gustav intensified from a tropical depression on August 25 to a Category 1 hurricane on August 26 in just 16 hours, tying Hurricane Humberto's record. Again notice the double 7s in 25/7 and 16/7 and the 26th of August - another fateful 8 connection to Hurricane Gustav's 8 name.

Additionally there are these stunning connections to Katrina which struck same area of the Gulf Gustav is heading to right now.

Unbelievably, the name 'Katrina' also adds up to 16/7. This creates a mirroring effect to the birth of 'Gustav.' And the day Katrina struck New Orleans and Mississippi was a 26/8 Day. Do you see all the mirroring of numbers here.

Another clue is this. The name for New Orleans also shows the fateful relationships to both hurricanes. You see, 'New' is a 16/7 and 'Orleans' a 17/8.

As a numerologist, I see these connections not as coincidences but clues. Occasionally clues become warnings, which I believe to be the case with Hurricane Gustav.

If you live in New Orleans it goes without saying that you should leave. If you live within 200 miles of this area as well as up along the Mississippi River, where I believe the storm is going to continue, I also would seriously consider packing up your most important items and finding higher ground.

Because of the numbers connected to Gustav I believe its damage will be greater than Katrina's. The intensity of the storm will be closer to category 5 than Katrina's category 3.

More on Gustav on Monday. Also keep an eye out for tropical storm Hanna in the Atlantic.

Best Wishes for a Safe and Happy Labor Day,

Tonight we hear from the man of the week, the Democratic Nominee for President Barack Obama.

Hillary Clinton's husband Bill made the case for Obama last night and showed once again why he made it all the way to the White House in 1992.

The former President certainly rose to the occasion. What Hillary couldn't do for Barack Obama on Tuesday, her husband accomplished last night. He addressed Obama's age and his ability to lead. Clinton did his numbers justice yesterday. His double 9 of release and culmination were fully activated. It's obvious Bill understands how to help his party and keep himself on the front lines.

In a few hours Barack Obama takes the stage.

He made a quick surprise cameo with Joe Biden last night. Speaking of Biden, he made the weakest speech of all. The man who recently criticized Obama for not being ready for the presidency, did not address this point in favor of his running mate last night.

He did not overcome his fateful double 4s yesterday. Joe Biden, in my view, didn't really help Obama's cause.

Moving on to today, August 28, 2008. Obama's numbers are amazing and truly fitting for his coronation.

Whether you are a Democrat, Republican, Independent or none of the above, tonight will be an historic moment in U.S. history. Tears will flow. Emotions of the last 45 years may spill out.

Barack Obama's acceptance speech just so happens to coincide with Martin Luther King's most memorable evocation of freedom, the "I Have A Dream" speech.

Is this a coincidence? No. Not when you look at the following numbers.

The first African American nominee for a major party, accepts the honor in front of the nation on the 45th anniversary one of the greatest speeches on race, unity and freedom in the history of America. That's some kind of planning.

Since cycles run in every 9 years, the 45-year span is significant. 5 times 9 equals 45. Five is the number for freedom, and nine is the number for release, compassion and humanitarianism.

It gets even more interesting.

MLK himself was born on January 15 in the year 1929, resulting in a 28/1 Life Purpose Number. So tonight the memory of Martin Luther King's 28/1 Life and the August 28 anniversary of his most famous speech are brought to life by none other than Barack Obama.

Barack Obama's Destiny Number happens to reduce to 1 as well, just as today's significant 28/1 Day does.

As for Obama's current cycles, they are extraordinary as well. You may recall, he's in a 22/4 Master Number Personal Year. Well today is a 40/4 Personal Day for Obama. His 4 Year and 4 Day add up to 8 which activates his current name 'Barack Obama.' In case you don't know, that number - 17/8 - is the Immortality Number.

Thus, in so many ways, personally and historically, Obama's speech tonight seals his name in history. And since these 4s and 8s are numbers of 'fate and destiny', you can bet that his speech will elicit some strong emotions.

Obama's current name has helped him get to where he is today. In the same way YOUR name is influencing your life too.

Goals are reached far more easily and quickly with a fortunate name than a difficult one. Just look at how 'John Edwards' challenging 16 name affected his frame of mind. So, if you do just one thing, activate abundance and peace of mind with the help of a good name.

I watched Hillary Clinton's speech at the Democratic Convention last night. And part of Michelle Obama's well-delivered speech on Monday.

And I've been amazed at how the numbers have lined up for each of these celebrities as they take the stage. In a moment I'll look ahead at the numbers for Bill Clinton and Joe Biden - both of whom speak tonight.

First, here's a fascinating recap of how each person's personal cycles affected the delivery and content of his or her speech.

For example, last night's big speech by Hillary came on a 35/8 Personal Day for her. The 8 ties right into her 26/8 Day of Birth and 44/8 current name. Fateful indeed.

Clinton was relaxed and feisty. At the same time, I didn't sense a genuinely strong emotion from her towards the current Democratic Nominee for President. It wasn't a full-fledged endorsement. That would have entailed expressing her confidence in his ability to be the leader of the nation.

The effect of the numbers of 'fate and destiny' 4 and 8 definitely were in play last night. Especially since these numbers activated her personal blueprint. She had one eye on the convention and the other on 2012.

Note that it even was August 26. Which strengthened her resolve even more.

Speaking of fateful numbers, Ted Kennedy's surprise visit to the convention had significant ties to his Personal Numerology Blueprint. His 13/4 current name and 22/4 Day of Birth were both activated on Monday evening - he had a 31/4 Personal Day. This signifies both the enormous importance the speech had for Kennedy, as well as his family's endorsement of Barack over Hillary.

Also on Monday, Michelle Obama came across as genuine and strong. Fittingly her number 7 Destiny Number was activated that day - Monday was a 34/7 Personal Day for her. So what we saw two nights ago gives a good idea of what we'll get if she becomes first lady.

As for tonight's speakers, Hillary's husband Bill and VP choice Joe Biden - well it could get VERY interesting.

First Joe Biden. He's in a 22/4 Personal Month signifying achievement. Today is a 31/4 Personal Day today. This double 4 combo is fateful. It adds up to 8 So I expect his speech to elicit very strong responses. His Destiny happens to be a 17/8 as well. I'll be curious to see how he uses these numbers of 'fate and destiny' tonight and whether they will end up helping Obama.

As for Bill Clinton. Well, his is an interesting story. He's in a 9 Personal Month and today is a 9 Personal Day for him.

9 signifies endings. And a 36/9 Personal Month cycle brings the feeling of culmination and endings to the forefront. Any losses he may feel right now, especially concerning the continuation of his legacy through his wife, are meant to free him for the new cycle he's already entered this year.

Tonight is not the coronation of Hillary he so expected. It is a turning of the tide.

But as we all know, Bill's a fighter.

He started a whole new 9 year cycle in 2008 - that means he's in a 1 Personal Year right now. And so August is a crucial 'letting go' month for him, since in September he'll be forced to start fresh if he hasn't done so now.

So I predict an emotional speech. Anything can happen. I'm sure he will reminisce about his Presidency. I'm sure he'll talk about Hillary. The key is, how will he talk about Obama.

Of course Thursday, August 28 is Barack Obama's big night. And oh do his numbers tell a riveting story. More on that tomorrow.

P.S. We're coming up on Labor Day Weekend and I have great show for you this week. Check it out here.

On Saturday morning I woke up, showered and checked the news. Not usually my routine, but Saturday was different.

I wanted to know whom Obama chose to be his running mate.

Turns out he wants someone who has more foreign policy experience. I guess his thinking makes sense. Especially since  former Soviet republic Georgia went to war with Russia on 8.8.08 and the conflict with Iran is intensifying. The Middle East could very well be in the forefront right around the Election. Obama knows John McCain is perceived as being stronger when it comes to foreign policy.

So what do the numbers say about an Obama-Biden ticket?

Let's begin with how Obama unveiled his VP choice. It ends up telling a riveting story.

After weeks of speculation, Obama sent a text message to his supporters announcing Joe Biden as his running mate. It happened at 3am on Friday night. Then both of them made their first joint appearance at a big rally in front of 35,000 supporters on Saturday. The time - 12 hours later at 3pm EST.

In a minute you'll see why these numbers all figure into the Obama-Biden story.

As for Joe Biden's personal numbers, what's fascinating is that he has the same Destiny Number as current Vice President Dick Cheney - 98/17 which reduces to 8.

In many ways, Obama's choice of Biden harkens back to current President Bush's choice of a more experienced Dick Cheney.

And for Biden, this number also creates a strong bond with Barack Obama whose current name adds up to 17/8. 17/8 is referred to as the 'Immortality Number.

Both Biden and Obama also share the number 4. Remember the 4 and 8 are magnetically attracted to each other - and Obama and Biden have one of each.

Additionally, Joe Biden has two 20s in his blueprint. This connects him with Barack's 29/11 Life Purpose. Reduce the number 11, and you end up with the number 2. Do the same with the number 20 you get a 2 as well. 2 is the number of diplomacy. It shows Biden can reach across the aisle and make his case.

What concerns me though are the following repeated numbers in Both Biden's and Obama's blueprints.

Joe Biden has a 12/3 Personality Number. This gives him an ability as a speaker and communicator of ideas. Something he's known for. However, Biden's 12 is activated in another more important section of his blueprint.

His current name 'Joe Biden' is also a 12/3.

That's not great. You see, 12 is also referred to by numerologists as the 'Victim' number. And when I see a 12 twice - and one of the numbers is the 'current name' - a red flag goes up.

You may recall that Joe Biden has run twice for the Democratic nomination for President. First in 1988 and 20 years later in 2008. Both times he was not successful. Note that in 1988 he was in a 3 Personal Year - thus activating his double 12 vibration.

I'm not saying Joe Biden will keep Barack Obama from winning the election. Former Vice President 'Al Gore' also had a 12 name and he didn't keep Bill Clinton from winning. But Biden won't help Obama either. And he may inadvertently cause some challenges for the Democratic Presidential Candidate.

Here's why.

Biden's Double 12 mirrors the double 12 in Obama's blueprint. Yes, Barack Obama has two 12s as well.

This is where it gets interesting.

When a number appears twice in any blueprint it is intensified. When it appears twice in two blueprints of two men who are in a close relationship, two things happen. It is doubly intensified And you get a mirroring effect.

As for how these double 12s will affect both men during the upcoming election, nothing's for sure. However, by choosing Biden, Obama has activated a double challenge - the fateful 4 and 8 connection I mentioned earlier, AND the double 12. In combination all these numbers can cause obstacles.

Back to the timing of his announcements. This is where the subconscious effect all numbers on your life becomes crystal clear.

Obama's 3 am text message to his supporters was followed by a 3pm rally 12 hours later. Do you see the numbers in action now. Every part of his announcement put activated the number 12/3.

Plus, August is a 30/3 Personal Month for Senator Obama. This will certainly help him at this week's convention, since 3 is the number of self-expression and uplifting others. Perfect for his big speech.

Yet his 3 cycle this month directly ties into the double 12/3 as well.

And the day of his VP announcement? Well it came on a 35/8 Personal Day for Obama, tying in directly with the 35,000 people who welcomed him and Joe Biden in Illinois on Saturday. It also activated his 17/8 current name.

You can see how vital it is to know the meaning of your own personal Numbers. They are activated all the time. Without you even realizing it.

Showing yet again, that numbers are vibrations - they are influencing our lives and help to shape our destiny - whether we are aware of them or not.

Being aware of your personal numbers is very important and so is making sure you have a good name to support those numbers. A fortunate name will reward you with surprisingly 'lucky' events that strengthen your inner confidence and bring about your destiny quickly and easily.

So be sure you have a fortunate name.

P.S. If you don't know your own personal numbers then invest in your Personal Numerology Blueprint. This document is life-changing. For a short time it also includes your 'Is My Name Fortunate' report as a gift. So find out what your numbers say about your destiny Now.

On Monday the unthinkable happened in China. National hero Liu Xiang pulled out of the Olympics.

Liu became the first male Chinese track and field Olympic gold medal winner in 2004. His fame is as great in China as any rock star in the West.

Fittingly, this superstar 110 meter hurdler has the same 32/5 Life Purpose Number as Olympic Champion gymnast Shawn Johnson and the great Michael Phelps.

So his win in his home country this week was always deemed a given. In fact, Liu's gold was considered essential by the Chinese media. For many Chinese the most important segment of these Olympics began on Monday, August 18.

Liu was due to compete in his first heat that day.

Can you imagine the pressure on this young man. Not only from his countrymen and women but also from his big name advertisers.

Then a shocking thing happened. He pulled out in his first round heat after another runner made a false start. The crowd was stunned into silence. Tears flowed.

As it turns out, Liu was hampered by a long-time hamstring injury.

So I was curious about his current name and numbers.

I decided to look at his Personal Year in 2008 and 2004 first. Both good, with the added benefit in 2004 giving him that extra edge - Liu had a 17/8 Personal Year in Athens. As we have seen with Michael Phelps and others, the 17/8 is key to immortalizing an athlete's performance. Which is exactly what happened to Liu Xiang at the last Olympics in Greece.

Now he's in a 21/3 Personal Year. So what happened.

21 personal years are often very rewarding cycles. I looked more closely at his numbers. He doesn't have any 3, 6 or 9s in his blueprint. This means his 21/3 Personal Year, though helpful, wasn't tying into any of his personal numbers.

Compare that to 2004, his 17/8 year. The 8 activated two of his important numbers.

Then I noticed Liu won his first World Championship Gold last year. Again his Personal Year tied into his Personal Numerology Blueprint.

Finally I checked his current name. 'Liu Xiang' adds up  to a neutral number - 25/7 - neither helpful nor very  challenging. Since Liu is born on a 13/4 Day, I'd like him to have a more fortunate name. A good name will help him overcome obstacles during ANY cycle. It would also help him to heal faster from any lingering injury.

Numbers can affect you in very immediate ways as well.

This morning I after exercising I did something unusual for me. I turned on the tv. After Shawn Johnson's win on the beam last night I heard she and Nastia were going to be interviewed this morning.

Shawn made a very interesting comment.

Before her beam final last night she was feeling under the weather.  This was confirmed by her coach as well. He told Shawn to 'wake up.' To seize the moment of a lifetime.

So she practiced her full beam routine an unheard of seven times right before going on to the floor to compete. Finally the seventh practice was mistake free.

Then it was her time to go.

As we all know, her eighth performance, the one that counted, won her the gold.

This morning Shawn made a specific reference about her 8th routine bringing her gold. What Shawn may  not know is that the number 8 is particularly important to her personally.

1. 8 is a great number for athletes since it symbolized infinite strength and abundance.

2. Her name 'Shawn Johnson' adds up to a simple 8, not a 26/8, 35/8 or 44/8. This single digit name number gives her the strength and power - the words everyone uses to describe her style of gymnastics - to win.

You might be wondering why an 8 is a good number for a current name. Like I said she has a single 8. Just like 2004 Olympic All Around Champion Carly Patterson who was ALSO known for her powerful style of gymnastics. In their case the 8 name was very helpful.

Nastia Liukin has a 15/6 name. This number is about alchemy and magic.

Notice her name number describes Nastia's style to a tee as well. Her elegance is magical. Her performances transcend the sport. Liukin's legacy is that she created a magical alchemy in her routines.

What's fascinating to me is how the meaning of their current names reflects in these athletes.

As for Michael Phelps' highly fortunate 27/9 current name - it signifies compassionate leadership. In the future I expect Phelps to apply his immense fame and fortune  by inspiring, helping and teaching adults and children alike how to focus and overcome perceived obstacles like a champion.

Of course, there's always the possibility of more from Phelps during the 2012 Olympics in London. Just think, he'll be 27 years old. A number that ties in directly to his fortunate 27 name.

Consider Michael is 23 right now. As I said off the top, Phelps' Life Purpose is 32. Notice the mirroring effect in play for him this year. Very powerful.

As you can see, numbers can be activated in the most unique ways. Knowing your personal numbers is key to helping you to take advantage of your unique qualities. Just like Shawn Johnson got the gold with her 8th routine, you will notice how your own personal numbers appear in unusual ways in your daily life as well.

Start activating the best in you by ensuring your current name isn't causing obstacles in your life.

I want to look more closely at a number Michael Phelps has mastered like no one else.

One reader makes this observation:

"Now I'm totally lost. 16 was the worst - now it's great. I like the 17 idea though as there appears to be a consistent theme."

Yes, I have mentioned many times that 16/7 is a very challenging number.

You may recall, John Edwards has the same 88/16 Destiny Number as Michael Phelps. Unfortunately for the disgraced Senator, the name 'John Edwards' ALSO adds up to 16. Thus he's activating his powerful Destiny with a very difficult current name number. This is not recommended for obvious reasons.

Here's what I want you to know about the number 88 and the number it reduces to - 16/7.

88 is first and foremost a Master Number of power, strength and infinity. It will ask you to be responsible. It will guarantee you have obstacles to overcome in order to test your inner resources. 88 is a double leadership number.

The first President of the United States of America, George Washington, had an 88/16/7 Destiny.

88 reduces to 16/7. This combination warns against an inflated ego. Those who use this number in an egotistical way will suffer.  Your ego will always disconnect you from the source of your true power - intuition.

Ego can be mistaken for confidence and strength. Not so.

In reality, no matter who the person is, if you stop trusting your daily intuitive messages, you have stopped taking responsibility for your life. Your physical, emotional, spiritual and mental life will be disconnected from the ultimate generator  - infinite wisdom or God.

Ignoring your intuition results in an painful life - and that pain can be felt in various different levels.

Now consider that Intuition is symbolized by the number  7 which is the root number of the number 16. So people who have a 16/7 are especially asked to listen to their hunches.

John Edwards obviously ignored his intuition in a big way.  So eventually the 16/7 present in his Destiny and current name appeared in his life in a swift, sudden and shocking manner. 16 takes the ego by surprise.  It has to.

On the other hand, Michael Phelps is a highly intuitive swimmer with a brilliant tactical mind. General George Washington utilized these qualities as well.

High intelligence comes as a result of trusting your intuition. So you see, the 16/7 brings profound gifts.  This is how Michael Phelps is able to access the double power symbolized in his 88/16 Destiny. He trusts his body. He rests and rejuvenates every part of himself between races. He allows himself to breathe.

And so every time he arrives at the pool, he enters the water rebirthed. Physically, mentally and spiritually.

That is the key to this number.

So, if you have an 88/16 or any 16 in your blueprint, your life will be akin to a spiritual rebirth - a rebirth which affects all areas of your life.

Keep in mind, being born with a 16 in your Personal Numerology Blueprint affects you differently than having a 16/7 current name.

Your current name number is an activator. I always say there's no need for you to activate your life with a 16/7 name like 'John Edwards' did. Unless you're a monk on a spiritual mission.

Without a doubt, Michael Phelps' 27/9 name helped him. You see, 27 is a highly fortunate number of courage and power. It blesses him with command and authority along with great rewards. It gives him the strength and confidence to tap into his Master Number 88/16
Destiny.

Do you know who else has a 16/7 in her Personal Blueprint and benefits from a 27 current name.

Madonna. She turned 50 on Saturday, August 16. Madonna is a poster child for turning her life around after she discarded her last name Ciccone. 'Maddona Cicccone'  happens to result in a very challenging 18. Once she changed her name number, her life took off like a rocket.

Note that Madonna was then able to benefit from her 16/7
in unusual ways.

If you take anything from Phelps' historic wins during these 29th Olympic Games in China, it is that he turned what seemed to be immense obstacles - such as goggles filling with water in two races, and being in 7th place at the wall - and switched on the lightning bolt of courage in his double 8 Destiny number and 27 name to shock the world with his 8 wins.

It's the whole recipe that counts. This is key.

So activate your own blueprint in the best possible way. By ensuring your current name is a fortunate one.

Warmest Regards,

P.S. Did you see amazing Chinese diver Guo Jingjing last night. Now she's the most prolific women's diving medalist in the history of the Olympics. Take note - her name resonates to the same meaning as Michael Phelps'. The date of her final competition, which she won Gold, also happens to add up to a Personal Day of 17/8  for Guo. Yes, the 'Immortality Number' was activated again - this time for the most famous female athlete in China - Guo Jingjing.

Whoa. Did you see Michael Phelps win his 7th Gold last night. If not, catch it in tonight's broadcast. It's a legendary swim. One for the ages.

What a stunner. Who would have thought.

I turned to Clay and said, 'You know it's already the 16th over in Beijing. Well, Michael's Destiny Number is 88 which reduces to 16.' Phelps' 88 Master Number just so happens to symbolize double strength and double power.

Furthermore - and this is amazing - 16 forecasts sudden, shocking events. I couldn't believe the manner in which he came from SO far behind. He was in 7th  place at the wall. Yes, it WAS shocking.

Notice that even being 7th halfway into the race ties into his 88/16/7 Destiny. Oh, and this was his 7th Gold Medal.

Judging from the open mouths around the pool and his mother's reaction - she had to sit down, after seeing the scoreboard - everyone was stunned.

Phelps won by 1 one hundredth of a second. That's pretty insane. Later he said he thought his final lunge to the wall would cost him. Instead, it was the lunge of Gold.

So can he make it eight. At this point I think it would be a good idea to bet on Michael. Yes he has three other teammates who need to help him out tonight. Yes the Aussies are favored to win. Can you imagine the electricity cursing through the swimmers as they line up tonight.

Let's look at the date of Phelps' final, historic race.

It will be August 17th in Beijing. 17 is an 8.

8.17 adds up to - 16/7, reactivating his Destiny Number yet again. What does the full date 8.17.2008 add up to - 26/8 - adding another 8 to activate Michael's 88 Destiny. Ah, and it all falls on a day that he would win his 8th Gold.

Do you know what else the number '17' for August 17th stands for.

'Immortality.'

Tonight Michael Phelps could become immortalized. No doubt his amazingly fortunate <a 27/9 current name has already helped him in his quest. And so has his creative imagination.

Last night Mark Spitz called Phelps' win 'epic.' I agree. Phelps said, 'The biggest thing I've been thankful for is I've been able to use my imagination.' That is a quote to remember. Never underestimate the power of your creative imagination - it sets everything in motion.

What do you think activates your numbers in YOUR favor. It's your imagination. Just like Michael Phelps activated the fateful 16/7 in his favor last night. That was something to behold.

As far as I'm concerned, tonight is the biggest night of the Olympic Games and that's coming from a gymnastics lover mind you. Enjoy.

Warmest Regards,

Before last night, Nastia Liukin was always listed as 'Anastasia Liukin' at all international competitions. What a difference a name change can make.

I always cringed when I saw 'Anastasia Liukin' up on the scoreboard. It adds up to a difficult 38/11, and did not help her in her greatest quest - to become all-around champion. In fact Nastia lost the all-around championship by .001 points at the world championships two years ago and then was out with an ankle injury most of last year.

So when I saw her officially listed as 'Nastia Liukin' I knew she would feel more confidence. After all, Nastia was competing with her good friend and current world champ, the great Shawn Johnson.

As usual I watched live online without all the commentators. I'm on West Coast time here in Arizona, where nothing's live. Can't have that, can we, especially for my favorite sport of the summer games. What a great competition.

Nastia Liukin had an amazing night. Helped no doubt by her extremely lucky 15/6 current name. The meaning of her name is a perfect fit. 15 is a number of alchemy, magic and happiness. By finally adopting her name on the international stage, Nastia was able to activate one of the most fortunate name numbers anyone could have.

She needed it too.

What was great about last night is that all the top gymnasts hit their routines. Nastia did not win because of someone else's error. She won because she had the highest start value of the competition - and didn't give away points in execution or style.

Here's another interesting fact. Nastia Liukin is in the midst of an incredible 22/4 Personal Year.

Since her Life Purpose Number also reduces to 4 - the 31/4, referred to as the 'Genius' Number, Her current cycle, the Master Number 22, is activating her Life Purpose. A 22 Personal Year is a pinnacle year, where all your dreams can come true. When it also coincides with one of the major number in your Personal Numerology Blueprint, as it does for Nastia, then you can certainly expect great things.

As you can see once again, the 4 and 8 are not to be feared whatsoever if they appear in your blueprint. It's your attitude towards these numbers, as well as your current name which help or hinder you.

Did her fantastic current name 'Nastia Liukin' help her in her quest to become Olympic Champion. Of course it did.

Do her genes help. Yes. Both her parents are former world champions. Her mom a rhythmic gymnast, her dad a powerful artistic gymnasts who performed the first ever triple somersault in competition. Did her intense training help. Absolutely.

Last night was the biggest night of her young life. Is it a coincidence Nastia Liukin's fortunate 15/6 name was activated on the 15th of August. I don't think so.

Everything was performed with ease, grace and amazing elegance. She was magical, just like the meaning of her 15 name. Congratulations, Nastia.

And congratulations Shawn for your impeccable sportsmanship.

One note about Shawn Johnson. She's a fighter befitting her 8 name. 'Shawn Johnson' adds up to what I refer to as a pure and simple 8.Not a 26/8 or 35/8 or 44/8. In that sense a single digit 8 can be very helpful for a gymnast such as Shawn who does not have any other 8s in her blueprint.

Shawn went into her final event the floor exercise probably knowing in the back of her mind that she could not beat Nastia, even with a perfect routine.

And yet, just like an 8 person would, this wonderful gymnast still put in her toughest skills. She inserted her most complicated pass, one she has left out in Beijing so far. She didn't fold. She was fighting for silver.

And she performed beautifully.

You see, in the end it's all about activating the numbers in your blueprint to the best of your ability. At the same time you want to make sure your fortunate current name is being used everywhere. Just as 'Nastia Liukin' finally has.

So check out your current name Now.

Here's a great story of someone who has benefited from the strength and determination given with the 'fateful' numbers 8 and 4.

I'm talking about Yang Wei. The Chinese male gymnast who got the silver at the 2003 Worlds and at the 2004 Olympics and wanted to retire. Then he decided to learn brand new skills - skills so difficult they would overcome anyone else's routines.

That's the determination of an 8 speaking.

You see Yang Wei was born on the 8th of February 1980. His numbers guarantee leadership, originality - and fateful events. The great thing about 'fate and destiny' numbers is that you can take advantage of them by turning what at first appears to be 'bad luck' into an advantage.

Through determination. Through incredible focus. Through fearlessness.

And that's precisely what Yang Wei did in these last four years leading up to last night when he won the gold by an unprecedented
2.6 Points. When you consider that a fall from any apparatus is .8 points, you can see how tremendous his victory was. In other words, Yang Wei could have fallen three times - and still beaten the rest of the field.

His win did not come out of the blue either. You see after his 'disappointing' silver medal finish in Sydney, he won the gold at the 2006 and 2007 worlds. With all those new skills.

Last night his start value - the points you can make going into each apparatus based on the skills you have lined up during the routine - was higher than for any other athlete. That's a huge advantage.

The point is - he planned this win. Long ago.

So when he struggled on his last event, high bar, it did not matter. His lead was too great. In fact Yang Wei was benefiting in two other ways.

Here is an example of someone with a strong 8 who had his most important event scheduled on a 4 Day, August 13th. Yang Wei was destined to feel challenged yesterday. Do you know how he won. He was prepared. He turned a challenge into an advantage.

So, when it came to high-bar, a weaker event for Yang, it did not matter that he faltered.

Going into these Games Yang Wei was widely seen as virtually unbeatable - the start values on most of his routines were that fearsome.

The best athletes understand that greatness comes with risk. You can see these risks in the routines of Chinese divers and gymnasts. They are fearless. Michael Phelps is a poster child for fearlessness as well. And so is American gymnast Shawn Johnson and her teammate Nastia Liukin. Watch for them in tonight's All-Around final.

As for Yang Wei's 8 Day of Birth - he's turned it into an asset.

So if you have an 8 or 4 in your blueprint - tap into the strength and determination and great planning these two numbers give you.

Do you know what else is amazing. Look at Yang Wei's current name. It's a 22/4. Like I have said before, 8s and 4s are magnetically attracted to each other, so it's no surprise he has a 4 name. Just like McCain and Obama have an 8 name lined up with a 4 in their blueprint.

22/4 happens to be another number requiring tremendous inner strength. Now wonder it's also referred to as the 'Buddha' Number. Yang Wei was up for his master number challenge this time around. What happened since Yang Wei nearly retired is that he Mastered his numbers.

I tell my clients who have a 13/4, 22/4 or 31/4 current name that it's up to them as to whether to keep it or change to an easier vibration. For some people, like Yang Wei, the 4 and 8 are the keys to his success. They challenged him to step up to the plate and leapfrog all obstacles. And he did.

Though I wouldn't recommend a 22/4 current name for most of my clients, for some it is the magic bullet towards success.

Michael Phelps, with his fabulous and effortless 27/9 name has had an easier time of it, winning 6 golds at the last Olympics and 5 more so far in Beijing. Watch him tonight as he goes for his 6th at these Games.

Be sure You have a current name that is helping you, not challenging you.

Warmest Regards,
Tania Gabrielle

Michael Phelps is having an amazing week. Last night I watched him win his third gold medal and set his third world record at the same time.

Now he has nine golds tying him with Mark Spitz, the great Russian Gymnast Larissa Latynina and two other athletes. He's got a lot more heats, semifinals and finals to swim in the next few days. Consider tonight he's up for two more medals. Should be amazing to watch. If Phelps wins just one more gold - out of five more events - he'll be considered the greatest Olympian ever.

So how do his current cycles stack up right now. Better than at the 2004 Olympic Games. He's in a 19/1 Personal Year - great for being Number 1 if that's your goal. And boy does Phelps have high goals.

Like yesterday - after smashing another world record for his third gold he gets back into the pool after less than an hour to easily win his 200m butterfly heat. "Coming back 50 minutes after his last race is incredible," NBC's Olympic Champion announcer Rowdy Gaines said.

Phelps is in a 27/9 Personal Month right now. 27 is one of the most powerful leadership numbers in numerology. Both spiritually and mentally, it is a number signifying someone whom others will listen to and emulate. Many great men and women in history have this number in their Personal Blueprint.

So does Michael Phelps.

27/9 happens to be the number his current name adds up to. A very, very fortunate name indeed. Since August is a 27/9 Personal Month for Phelps, this leadership vibration is being activated at just the right time.

When you consider he's also in a Number 1 Year, well, all I can say is that his chances for winning 8 golds are looking good.

Befitting one of the greatest athletes of all time, he also has an amazing 32/5 Life Purpose Number. It's also referred to by the ancients as the 'Politician's Number' since it can give you the power to sway masses of people, a magnetic presence and an open book to get media attention.

Hmm. No wonder Phelps is the big media story of these Games. We've seen 'a day in the life', we've seen him wolf down 10,000 calories a day and still not be able to reach 200 pounds because he's expending so many calories during five hours of swimming a day. There are so many profiles of Phelps, his life will be forever changed when he returns home. I say, he might want to run for President with that kind of attention..

One warning with the 32 is that he must hold true to his own goals no matter what. If he is easily swayed, others will create problems for his plans.

Isn't it wonderful to watch someone who relishes being underestimated because it fires him up even more. Like all highly successful people, Phelps is a specialist at getting fired up no matter what is thrown at him.

This is epidomized by a statement aired Sunday when he said, 'I welcome ALL comments.'

Phelps understands spiritual and mental alchemy. He takes BOTH the positive and negative and transforms it into something magical.

I believe during Sunday's thrilling 4x100m freestyle relay, Phelps transferred some of this natural confidence into the mind and heart of his 32-year-old teammate, Jason Lezak.

Did you see the replays of Phelps willing on his teammate with an intensity and warrior-like focus. His celebration afterwards was priceless. Like seeing a volcanic eruption of joy.

In order for Phelps to win his second of eight gold medals, Lezak had to come from behind in to beat the French swimmer and current world record holder. Lezak somehow swam the fastest anchor leg in history. Remember he's the oldest swimmer on the U.S. men's team. That race was definitely one for the history books. Congratulations to them all.

I can't leave today without mentioning the incredible bronze medal win by the U.S. men gymnasts last night.

After Olympic All-Around Gold Medalist Paul Hamm dropped out of the Olympics due to injury followed by his identical twin Morgan Hamm right before competition started, the American men were written off by the media.

Some thought they wouldn't even be able to advance to the top eight teams which advance to the final.

Well not only did they qualify to last night's team final, they were relaxed, happy and fired up to the max. I watched them live online and couldn't believe what I saw. I also knew their last event, the tricky pommel horse, was their lowest scoring. But after seeing their lead I knew they had a chance.

Especially since last minute replacement for Morgan Hamm, the elegant Alexander Artemev, is a world medalist on pommel horse. In fact, he was picked precisely because of his contributions on that event.

The incredible bronze medal win comes partly thanks to the new leaders on the American Gymnastics Team, Jonathan Horton and the astronaut's son, Justin Spring. Both these guys were fearless. And let's not forget one of my favorite people, 27 year-old Raj Bhavsar. Their performances made the rest of the team believe.

All three happen to have very fortunate current names - 'Justin Spring' and 'Raj Bhavsar' both add up to 24/6 and Jonathan Horton has a 14/5. Spring has been injured most of his career, so to see him pile on the tricks on highbar last night was incredible.

And Jonathan Horton. Watch out for him tomorrow night during the men's All Around final. He has a great shot at a Gold Medal. He's physically tough, loves the media attention, and has a personality which endears him to the public. By the way, that's his happy and expressive 30/3 Life Purpose Number. He could become a media darling in the next 48 hours.

I don't know Horton's birth name, but I bet his Destiny Number is powerful.

Speaking of Destiny Numbers, Michael Phelps has a Master Number Destiny - the 88/16/7. Probably sounds familiar.

Yes, as you might remember from yesterday, it's the same as John Edwards'. But there the similarities endeth. You see, The rest of Michael's blueprint gives him free reign to tap into the strength and power of his 88. His other incredible numbers support him, unlike Edwards'.

Michael Phelps has benefited especially from his amazing 27/9 current name. Compare that to John Edwards' biggest hurdle - a name which adds up to 16/7. Ouch.

There's another athlete who has numbers in common with Michael Phelps. She's American world champion gymnast Shawn Johnson. Watch out for Phelps and Johnson tonight. They have a knack for turning a negative, such as today's double 4 day, into a positive.

Warmest Regards,
Tania Gabrielle

P.S. Taking the plunge is what being alive is all about. So discover your own personal Destiny and Life Purpose while at the same time making sure YOUR current name adds up to a fortunate number. It's all revealed in your Personal Numerology Blueprint.

Another politician admits to infidelity. The media just can't get enough of John Edwards' affair.

I didn't mention Edwards in my recent recap of events which took place on 8.8.08. There were more important stories to report in relation to that auspicious and fateful date. Then, last night, I decided to spend time with John and Rielle Hunter's name and numbers. There's definitely a story to tell.

Let me start off by saying that John and his former mistress Rielle share the exact same Life Purpose Number - 25/7. It's a strong bond. What makes it even stronger are Edwards' Destiny Number and current name.

His Destiny, based on his full name at birth, is the powerful and fateful number 88. Hmm. Notice the story of his affair, and possible love child broke on 8.8.08. Well, as it happens, 88 reduces to 16/7, the number symbolizing a person with a crown on his head falling from a tower struck by lightning.

So there was always a risk he might suffer losses to his career, social standing, marriage, or health and so on.

Having a 16 in your blueprint doesn't mean they'll be a scandal. Rather there's often a major, life-changing hurdle or obstacle - sometimes self-inflicted as in Edwards case or a natural sequence of events, as in Muhammad Ali's case. Other times it's a sudden event, when all the numbers line up in a certain way, as in the 16th President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln, whose current name was a 16/7.

Why did I mention the boxing icon. 'Muhammad Ali' has a current name which also adds up to 16/7.

Ali certainly reached the greatest heights in his boxing career befitting this number. He also benefited from the strength and abundance of an 8 Day of Birth - Ali was born on the 17th - the 'Immortality' Number. 8 is a common number amongst executives and athletes.

But the fateful side of his 16/7 name eventually was activated in the form of Parkinson's Syndrome, a slow decline in of his motor functions. Fortunately Muhammad Ali did not have other 16/7s and 7s in his Personal Blueprint to reinforce his 16 current name.

John Edwards does.

I already mentioned the former Senator's 88/16 Destiny. Edwards also has a 7 Life Purpose.

Most importantly, his current name, the number which acts as a catalyst for your life, adds up to 16/7. So there's a triple activation of sevens, and it involves the most important numbers in his Personal Numerology Blueprint.

Now enter Rielle Hunter.

She has a 25/7 Life Purpose to matching his. Additionally, Hunter's Destiny Number is 77. More sevens. Luckily for Rielle, her Destiny reduces to 14/5, the Media Number. Makes sense for someone who is an aspiring actress and filmmaker. Hunter was hired by the Edwards' campaign to create several 'webisodes' for his campaign.

Thus her Media Number was in full force during the affair. At the same time her Destiny 77/14/5 and her 7 Life Purpose activated John Edward's 16/7s.

What happens is, when people with certain numbers' connections meet, these numbers 'communicate' and recognize a common and strong bond. Of course, I don't mean they literally talk to each other. But a heightened recognition between these vibrations results in more instant and close relationships.

In this way numbers act as a catalyst. In the same way, a current cycle like a date or Personal Year can activate important numbers within your blueprint.

Speaking of current cycles, initially Rielle Hunter won't be as negatively affected by the 'scandal.' She's in a 15/6 year befitting a new mother who gave birth to a baby girl in February. 6 is the parental and family number. Her family will rally around her to protect her from the onslaught of media.

2009 may be more challenging for Hunter. She'll be experiencing a 16/7 year which will also activate her Life Purpose Number. What makes this even more clear is the fact that John Edwards will experience an 18 Personal Year at the same time.

2008 is a 17 Personal Year for Edwards. Since 17/8 represents the 'Immortality' number I predict he will be defined in many ways by this story. Notice the 8 Year he's in right now ties in with his 88/16 Destiny.

And one more thing.

John Edwards, now more than ever, could really use a fortunate current name. In his case certain fortunate name numbers do not apply. For example, even though a 17/8 current name is highly fortunate for most, it wouldn't be for him.

This is why I always ask you for your birthday and birth name when I create your numerology reports. The recipe for success is only activated with fortunate numbers, which are good for YOU personally.

Begin activating your success today.

Did you hear NBC's Brian Williams mention the Pythagorean Theorem last night during the Opening Ceremonies?

I had just arrived home from La Jolla, California and turned on the TV when Williams mentioned Vietnam's dominance in international mathematics competition. He was comparing their knowledge of the Pythagorean Theorem compared to winning just one Gold medal in Olympic Competition.

It was great to hear Pythagoras mentioned. But even more touching was seeing the strength and joy of that 9 year old boy, an earthquake survivor and hero, walking next to basketball star and Chinese flag bearer, Yao Ming. What a precious moment.

And yes. I stand corrected after yesterday's newsletter -

"Hi Tania,
"I love your articles, however I did notice in this particular one that you made the statement that the number 8 is the only one that you can draw without ever lifting your pen - I don't know about you, but I can draw the numbers 1 thru 9 without lifting my pen. Did I miss something that you were trying to get across with that point? Thanks and keep up the good work."
 
Todd
 
Thanks, Todd, my mistake. Here's what I meant to say. 8 is the only number you can draw REPEATEDLY without lifting your pen. No other number from 1 through 9 allows you to do that. Hence the infinite abundance, strength and power connected with this number.

Notice that the great tennis champion Roger Federer, the Swiss Flag bearer last night, was born on 8.8. As you'll see in the next weeks, 8 is a number commonly found in athletes' blueprints.

And, as I expected, a major incident did occur during yesterday's fateful date, 8.8.08. Not in China but in South Ossetia, a disputed region between former Soviet Georgia and Russia.

Considering the 8.8.08 numbers in yesterday's date, and the fact that they added up to 26/8, this onset of war will most likely turn out to be significant. Especially since the underlying factor is once again - oil. I don't think it's coincidental this tragedy began right as the world focused its attention on the Olympic Games in Beijing.

On another note, you've heard of body language. It's a great way to get the real story behind what seems to be reality. Body language and face reading are ancient sciences used throughout Asia. Very useful too.

Did you know there is another powerful, non-verbal language involving numbers.

Let me give you an example of how I use 'numbers language' to get behind-the-scenes-clues to an official storyline.

Last week I was up late in bed reading a fascinating book called 'The Evidence for the Sixth Sense' by Hazel Courteney. Hazel was scheduled to be a guest on my radio show 'By The Numbers' the following morning, so I had good reason to read her book. Am glad I did.

I had an amazing 'aha' moment after I turned the page to read her final chapter.

First a little info. The book recounts Hazel Courteney's experiences with people who have accessed what we call the 6th sense. Courteney is a well-known British journalist with a specialty in alternative health and spiritual phenomena. So she has access to some of the world's best-known medical experts and healers.

Hazel herself had a life-altering near-death experience. She's written about it in another book. So I was surprised and delighted to see her return to the subject in that final chapter.

Here's what I got my attention. The chapter in question is titled "Diana's Surprise Party."

What struck me right away is it was numbered 16. Hazel describes an unexpected event in which Princess Diana reappears in her life in an extraordinary way. Her story, which I won't divulge here, included a few dates which instantly caught my attention.

Courteney recounted the announcement by the British media that the inquest, or investigation, into Diana's death would be aired live on British television. The date of the announcement came on July 16, 2004.

Then Hazel describes the event she participated in, for which the 16th chapter entitled 'Diana's Surprise Party' is named. As it turns out, Hazel participated in the event without her knowledge. She writes of receiving the transcripts of the event, which had taken place many months before, on - July 16.

In the last few chapters of the book, she writes movingly about visiting Diana's memorial fountain at the Serpentine in London on July 7, 2004.

It's also significant all this transpired during July, Diana's month of birth.

Here's why the number 16/7 is so important - and its triple appearance so stunning. 16 is symbolized by 'a tower struck by lightning from which a person is falling with a crown on his or her head.' 16 warns of a strange fatality, including danger of accidents and defeat of one's plans. This number urges you to listen to the inner voice as it will always warn you of danger through dreams or intuition in time to avoid it.

I realized that the appearance of this number in Hazel Courteney's final chapter - the only chapter devoted to Princess Diana, a person she knew - was a message within a message. As a numerologist I receive these 'hidden' messages every day.

Consider not only the meaning of the number 16/7, but the following facts as well.

Diana was born in the 7th month of July. Her birthday July 1, 1961 adds up to 25. This is her Life Purpose Number. Well 25 reduces to a root number of 7.

Then look at her birthday one more time - 1.7.1961. Notice Diana was born in the 61st year of the 20th century.

61 is the reverse of 16. I will not delve further into the meaning of 61 and how it relates to 16, except to say the storyline fits in perfectly with Diana, her life and her death.

Finally, since the number 16 appeared 3 times I multiplied three times sixteen. This is where the message became even more clear. The sum of 3 times 16 equals 48. The root number for 48 is 12 (4+8 = 12). Twelve is referred to by numerologists as the "Victim Number." 

As you can see, numbers unveil fascinating details behind any story. Sometimes they give clues to an event which is shrouded in mystery.

What was crystal clear to me is that Diana had 'spoken' to Hazel Courteney in another language, namely the symbolic language of numbers. Courteney has no knowledge of numerology. She would not have connected her Chapter 16 to Diana in any way

Listen to my fascinating radio show with Hazel Courteney, during which she talks about her near-death experience and much more Oh, and if I sound a wee bit tired right at the start of our talk, it's because I was up with Claire most of the night. She had a cold.

Warmest Regards,
Tania Gabrielle

P.S. You will see throughout these next two weeks how many great Olympic athletes are helped by having a fortunate name, If you do just one thing, make sure your name is a fortunate one.
 

Last night I was watching podium training live online for the women gymnasts. All I can say is 'wow.' Watch for the Chinese and American girls.

It's time for the Olympic Games to begin. The big sports in week one will be gymnastics and swimming.

I think the caliber of gymnastics this year will be beyond outstanding. I've watched many an Olympics, and from what I can tell the gymnasts from these two countries are about as focused as you can get. Both feel they deserve to win the team gold. It's going to awesome to watch. IF the Chinese women gymnasts hit their routines, they'll win. As for the men, the Chinese are pretty much guaranteed the gold in the team competition.

Maybe you're wondering why the date and time of tonight's opening ceremony is filled with as many eights as possible, the reason is simple. The word 'eight' in Chinese sounds like "fortune." And fortune, of course, is a good thing.

Did you know 8 is the only number you can draw without ever lifting your pen. So it symbolizes infinity - as in infinite abundance. No wonder the Chinese love this number.

This amount as 8s in one date can activate other forces as well.

For example, when an 8 is tripled it may not necessarily be the best thing. 8.8.2008, not only has three 8s, but also adds up to 26/8. Additionally the Essence Number for the opening ceremonies is 16/7. Those are not the easiest numbers. Power and abundance, absolutely. Danger - possibly.

I also noticed these are the 29th Olympic Olympic Games. 29/11 is a Master Number. Thus we are bound to see masterful attention to detail as well as leadership on the part of the hosts. On the other hand, 11 can signify division. So there's a potential for divisiveness during these games. Nerves may fray more easily amongst competitors and athletes alike.

Tonight's opening ceremonies are bound to be spectacular. China is an enormous country with a huge variety of cultures. I'm really looking forward to tonight's music, dance, drama and spectacular performances.

Back to the numbers. There's a connection to a previous Olympic Games, which caused me to pause for a brief moment.
 
For example the fateful 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich began on 26 August and ended on 11 September 1972.

The date of the opening ceremony for the 20th Olympic Games in Munich was 8.26.1972. These numbers add up to 35/8. Their opening ceremonies were on a 26/8 Day. And the Essence Number was also 16/7. These are some pretty strong connections.

Then there's the curious fact about when Munich and Beijing learned of their selection to host an Olympics.

Amazingly Munich won its Olympic bid on April 26, 1966, another 26/8 Day. The whole date adds up to a 7 and points out the religious conflict which emerged tragically during those games.

Beijing got its bid on 7.13.2001. Notice the 13/4 Day and 11 Essence. The really good news is that the whole Date adds up to 14/5, the Media Number. You can definitely say these games will be the most viewed ever, since the Internet will play a huge role in broadcasting events. At the same time, the 14/5 will make these Olympics unpredictable and very exciting. Watch the athletes take enormous risks.

No matter what happens, I look forward to a deep and lasting connection between Asian cultures and the rest of the world.

Let the 29th Olympiad begin.

Warmest Regards,
Tania Gabrielle

P.S. Throughout these Games I'll be pointing out how an athletes' blueprint will help him or her achieve greatness - including the genius swimmer, Michael Phelps. You'll see why this extraordinary athlete has so much going for him, including an amazingly fortunate current name. Make sure YOU are benefiting from a great name as well.
 

Talk about power mixed with fate. The numbers surrounding Christian Bale, Heath Ledger and "The Dark Knight" are astonishing.

Yesterday I was reading that, as of Monday, "The Dark Knight" has taken in 400.04 millyon at the box office - in just 18 days. That's the fastest pace for a movie ever. It will most likely pass 'Star Wars' in about two weeks.

This 18 day record gross announcement is significant. Here's why. "The Dark Knight" was released in the U.S. on July 18. The date for the release adds up to 26/8 a number signifying wealth and power. The record announced on Monday is an 8 total as well - 400.04 equals 8. And the amount earned has put the movie at No. 8 on the all-time box-office charts.

18 and 8 - a very potent and powerful mix. Interestingly these two numbers signify not only abundance but also making money through conflict or war. Very fitting.

Let's look at the Batman himself first, Christian Bale. His current name happens to add up to 18. One of the symbols for the 18 is that it may result in bitter quarrels with your family. I guess it's not so surprising then to hear about Bale's current family troubles. His sister and mother publicly accused Bale of assaulting them in a hotel room in London.

This incident allegedly happened right before the big London premiere of 'The Dark Knight' - but was kept under wraps for fear of bad publicity. Bale denies the allegations and turned himself into the police.

Secrecy is also a key element of the 18. So is the promise of leadership, as in securing a major leading role in a movie.

What's just as astounding is the role Heath Ledger played in making this dark film such a big hit with audiences. I guess everyone loves to hate a villain - especially when the villain is off-the-charts crazy. From what I hear Heath Ledger portrayal of the Joker is one of the most scary maniacs in Hollywood history. His performance is being called truly memorable as far as villains go.

Heath Ledger of course died of an alleged accidental drug overdose in New York City in January a few weeks after filming.

He had just started his own 18 Personal Year in 2008. His death on the 22nd of January mirrors his 22/4 Soul Number, his Day of Birth on April 4 and his 8 Essence Number.

Ledger reportedly gave more than his all while filming the sadistic Joker role. After the movie wrapped he related how he felt total mental and physical exhaustion - to the point where he could not sleep during the shoot. Is it any wonder when he threw himself 100 percent into a role portraying The Joker - a sadistic, criminal mastermind.

"The Dark Knight" is a dark movie. For an actor, portraying a really dark and maniacal character can be very trying - and yes, dangerous. I believe playing his 'ultimate' role, one for which he may receive an Oscar nomination, put Heath Ledger into a downward spiral. Sadly it led to his death.

Note that while Heath has three fateful numbers, fellow actor Christian Bale has two - a 4 Essence and a 13/4 Soul Number. Not coincidentally, the story of his alleged assault on his mom and sister broke on July 22nd, a 4 Day.

As for Christian Bale's number 18 name, it forecasts more challenges ahead for this Welsh actor.

On another note, I'm sure you heard about 'Dark Knight' actor Morgan Freeman's scary car accident late Sunday night in Tennesee. The Oscar-winner happens to be in an 8 Personal Year right now. He has two 13/4s in his blueprint - his Destiny and Personality Numbers.

And his Soul Number is 18.

I'll note too that August is a 16/7 Personal Month for Freeman. Of course, he's experienced many '16' Personal Months before, as we all have. What's striking for Freeman right now is the combination of his numbers - an 8 Year, 16 month - and their relation to the huge success of a very dark movie. The name for 'The Dark Knight' happens to add up to 16 and of course was released on an 8 date. I believe there is a correlation.

The same goes for the movie's 18 and 8 number connections to Heath Ledger and Christian Bale.

You may think I'm a little crazy to say what I just did. How can the numbers and corresponding topic of a movie affect an actor with the same numbers. I've seen it happen before. In wonderful ways as well as I have pointed out with Will Smith's recent success, Angelina Jolie and the movie 'Titanic'.

Really what it boils down to is that the numbers for these three actors and the movie they helped to create tell me a story.

Under certain circumstances a recipe of numbers is mirrored in another person or date to 'activate' events. Ledger, Bale and Freeman each experienced these events differently.

You might be wondering about the name 'Batman.' I can assure you  this comic book hero will stick around for a long time. 'Batman' adds up to 17/8 - the Immortality Number. Ah yes, another 8.

On another happy note, I'm very happy to read Morgan Freeman is recovering. Very good news indeed.

Warmest Regards,
Tania Gabrielle

Vice Presidential choices are in the air. And for all of us, August is a big month.  Politically things are being stirred up not just in the U.S. but worldwide.

Remember how the big earthquake in China and the major typhoon in Burma both occurred on 18 Dates in May. Well, we are all now experiencing an 18 Universal Month. I expect more natural disasters. That is because 18 warns of dangers from the elements. In fact the devastating earthquake in central China may have forecast the challenging events I feel will surround the Olympics.

This number also always indicates major shifts behind-the-scenes.

The good news is this. I predict oil prices will continue to go down for the foreseeable future helping the economy. Behind the scenes decisions are being made which will have a great effect on the election November 4. Additionally, I expect some major politically motivated challenges during the Olympic Games in China, due to begin in 4 days. More on that later this week.

As for the Presidential campaigns, all eyes are now focused on who will join McCain and Obama as running mates.

Obama will most likely announce his VP candidate this week. It may even be as early as today. August 4, 2008 is a 4 Day AND adds up to 22/4 - the exact same number as Obama's Personal Year in 2008. The 4 also ties into the November Election on November 4. Obama happens to be born on the 4th, and, if you didn't know, today is his 47th birthday.

Note that 47 reduces to 11 and activates his 29/11 Life Purpose Number. It's all coming to a head for him right now. Also watch for John McCain in September when two very important numbers in his personal blueprint are activated.
 
When the Presidential candidates do make their announcements, they'll most likely pick from one of the following politicians.

On the Democratic side Indiana Sen. Evan Bayh, Delaware Sen. Joe Biden, Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine, and Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius are supposedly in the running for the Democratic ticket.

Based on all the numbers I narrowed it down to three - Governor Kaine, Senator Bayh and Governer Sebelius.

An extraordinary picture began to emerge.

Both Tim Kaine and Kathleen Sebelius have Destiny Numbers which reduce to 12/3. Senator Obama has two 12/3s in his Blueprint as well.  That's a big connection.

What makes this number so interesting is that Sebelius is in a 21/3 Personal Year right now and Kaine will be in 2009. This 3 cycle activates their respective 3 Destiny Numbers. Then I noticed Evan Bayh was ALSO experiencing a 21/3 Personal Year this year. So Senator Bayh and Governor Sebelius will both be in a 22/4 year in 2009.

I delved further. Both Governor Kaine and Evan Bayh are born on the 26th. This number connects them directly to Obama and the Blueprint for the United States. 26 reduces to 8, a big number in politics.

Then I looked and noticed Bayh and Obama share the SAME current name number 17/8 - referred to by the ancient Chaldeans as the "Immortalitly Number." Hmm. That is a very strong connection. In fact it is the same magnetic name number connecting John McCain to Barack Obama.

Here is what it comes down to.

Based on the current cycles and numbers connections I rate Evan Bayh's Vice Presidential chances best, followed by Kathleen Sebelius. Whomever ends on the ticket, I assure you he or she will play a crucial role as we head into the final three months.

For John McCain there are two people I would consider frontrunners - Rob Portman, Representative from Ohio and Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty.

Here's what's so amazing.

Both Pawlenty and Portman share the SAME Destiny Number 85 which reduces to 13/4. Not only that, they share it with John McCain who has a 76/13/4 Destiny. This is a very strong bond and also ties them to the United States blueprint. Additionally, the names 'Tim Pawlenty' and 'Rob Portman' both add up to 15/6, a highly fortunate number. Wow.

It's amazing to see these numerological connections within McCain's and Obama's top VP choices.

My Vice Presidential nod goes to Rob Portman, partly because his Soul Number is a 29/11 matching John McCain's 29 Day of Birth. And his Personality is another 11 matching John McCain's 11 Life Purpose Number.

As for other dark horses - Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee and Meg Whitman - their numbers don't match McCain's in the same way, nor do they have the current cycles being activated like Portman and Pawlenty do.

Meanwhile, be sure YOU have a current name which fully supports you and your goals. Go and get the report which changes lives every day.
