So Just For Fun

April 30th, 2013

Today I spent the day at my drawing table working on illustrating. Daytime TV bantered gently in the background as I worked. On weekends, when I draw, I put on music, but given my penchant for pop culture, during the week I leave the TV on because something could pop in our culture and I might miss it.

Sure enough, The Talk talked. They had Glynis McCants, numerologist, on talking about her new book, Love By The Numbers. She got my attention as soon as she started talking about how our lives move in cycles and each year we get a new number that tells what our life path for the current year is. Wow, fun. I wanted to know my number for 2013 and what path I’m on. I rewound the show and here is what I found:

Take the day and month of your birth, along with the current year, perform a little math and you will get a number 1-9. Each number through nine describes a different life path. Like so:

My birthday is 8/13:
8+1+3+2+0+1+3=18
1+8=9

My life path number for this year is 9.

9 means preparing for new beginnings. Adventurer that I am, I can’t wait to see what that means. (In August I think I’ll probably remember this day.)

Here are the rest:
You will be:
8 – establishing finances and health, pay attention to your body and your money

7 – looking within – finding the meaning of life

6 – celebrating new opportunities

5 – embracing freedom – but drama shows up, focus on you

4 – expanding your mind, seeking knowledge and finding great security in knowing

3 – communicating and expressing yourself

2 – dealing with deep emotion – pay attention to your intuition

1 – taking control of your life

These are so positive and encouraging. I like this kind of horoscopy. Before I did my number, I really thought they all applied to me, but after finding I was a nine, yes, I really did see how that one has a big chance of taking precedence over all the others this year.

Once you do your own, you start doing everyone’s whose birthday you know and that makes it more fun. My husband is a one. He’s taking control of his life this year and I’m sure he’ll thank me for finding that out for him. My NY daughter is a seven. She will be off searching for the meaning of life for the next eight months. My Boston daughter is a two. She will be dealing with deep emotions this year. Wow, serious family for 2013.

I’m glad I’m a nine. I spend enough time looking inward for the meaning of life. A new beginning sounds like a lot more fun.

What is your life path this year? Calculate it, write it down and put it in a safe place and open it back up on January 1 2014. What fun way to review the passing year.

And so, as another day goes by, the promise of a new beginning lends a little glitter to my day, I reaffirm my passion for daytime TV, and…I have written.
