INTRODUCTION HOW TO READ YOUR RELATIONSHIP COMPATIBILITY REPORT When two people are involved in a relationship, they get to know each other more deeply over time. At first, everything is wonderful and friction is rare. Then, as time goes by, you get to know other sides of your partner and, undoubtedly, discover some personality traits you don’t like, and other traits you appreciate. The more time you spend together, the more you get to know each other. But even if you consider your relationship almost perfect, you will certainly experience at least some areas of possible friction. The purpose of this report is to point out the different personality traits you possess, and how compatible they are. This report will help you identify those properties that are, at least to some extent, not compatible, and suggest how to prevent them from damaging, or dominating, your relationship. It is important to also keep in mind that you may have some qualities that, although positive, are not compatible, but that negative traits are almost always a cause for friction. Therefore, you may find that this Relationship Compatibility Report is at times more critical and perhaps somewhat harsh - unlike most readings of this kind. If you feel uncomfortable with that, remember that this report was designed to throw light on those aspects in your charts that need to be understood and recognized, because if they are not, they can do a lot more damage than a few critical remarks in a reading. Elizabeth and Max, you will probably encounter some texts such as: “The compatibility aspect in this area of the chart is already included in other parts of this report, offset by other conditions or redundant”. This is done in order to offer a perspective that is as well balanced and clear as possible, and repeating certain traits would place too much emphasis on them. Master numbers are also handled somewhat different in a relationship compatibility report. They are reduced to their single digit values, because it is in the single digit’s archetype that those personality traits are represented. If a number that appears in your chart is 11, 22, or 33, and the compatibility refers to the numbers 2, 4, and 6 respectively, this is not a typo but an indicator that the compatibility is based on the single-digit sum of your Master number. You will also find that some numbers normally included in a personal numerology reading are not included in a relationship compatibility report. This is because the compatibility between two people is influenced much more strongly -- as much as ninety-five percent -- by the core numbers, than by all the other numbers in the chart combined. In fact, the lesser numbers in the chart would only muddle the waters if analyzed in the context of a relationship compatibility report. Elizabeth and Max, I hope you will enjoy your Compatibility Report and, more importantly, I hope you will find this reading to be beneficial to your relationship.

LIFE PATH If ever there was a moment of total transformation, it was the moment of your birth. In that instant, you stepped through a door in time into a new reality -- the reality of human life. The most important number in your numerology chart is based on the date of your birth, the moment when the curtain goes up in your life. Even at that moment, you were a person with your own unique character, as unique as your DNA. Everything that is you existed in potential, much like a play that is about to begin. Your entire life exists as a potential that has been prepared for. Elizabeth, you have ultimate freedom to do with your life as you like: To fulfill its potential completely, or to make some smaller version of yourself. It all depends upon your effort and commitment. You make the decisions to fulfill, to whatever extent, the potential life that exists within you. That is your choice. In this sense, the possible you is implicit during the moment of your birth. The Life Path number gives us a broad outline of the opportunities, challenges, and lessons we will encounter in this lifetime. Your Life path is the road you are traveling. It reveals the opportunities and challenges you will face in life. Your Life Path number is the single most important information available in your Personality Chart! Elizabeth, your Life Path is 6 Elizabeth, you possess great compassion and seek to be of service to others. You have concern for the weak and the downtrodden. You are a healer and a helper to others. You are capable of giving comfort to those in need and will frequently offer a shoulder for others to cry on. Your task in life is to develop the tools necessary to be truly helpful to others, rather than to simply be a sympathetic ear. You must find the balance between help and interference. In the same way, you must learn the delicate art of the counselor who knows when to leave the struggle to others and when to avoid taking away the necessary experiences and lessons of life. You are naturally balanced. Therefore, you are well equipped to support and ground others in times of trial. It is in your nature to take on responsibility -- you often fill the void left by others -- and do not turn away from personal sacrifice. At times, you may feel overburdened by the travails of others. However, the love others bestow upon you is your well deserved reward. Elizabeth, you try to maintain harmony within the family or group, balancing and fusing divergent forces. You seek marriage and are often a wonderful parent, offering warmth, protection, and understanding to children. You are generous, kind, and attractive. You are often admired even adored which baffles you. You are humble and yet you carry a deep pride. You move well and gracefully, but will have to work to stay in shape. Seek out physical exercise and limit the sweets and dairy you crave to keep yourself from becoming plump and round. When young, you must be careful not to choose partners for the wrong reasons. Do not let sentimentality influence your decision, especially those involving the choice of a spouse. You need to be needed, but must learn to discriminate between those you can help and others who are made weaker by your care. After all, it is in your nature to be attracted to the weaker brothers and sisters among us. Page 7

The temptation, and the danger for you, is to think of yourself as the savior of the world, carrying the burdens of others on your shoulders. Elizabeth, you are blessed with musical talent, as well as in the visual and performing arts. However, your creativity may well be suppressed due to your willingness to sacrifice, or your inability to fully appreciate your talents. This is not to say that you cannot excel in these areas; on the contrary, you have the talent, and with effort you can make a success in a number of artistic fields. You also have enormous talent in business. You are blessed with a great deal of charm and charisma, which you use effectively to attract the people and support you need. Max, your Life Path is 10/1 Max, you are a born leader. You insist on your right to make up your own mind; you demand freedom of thought and action. You have drive and determination. You don't let anything or anyone stand in your way once you are committed to your goal. You assume the responsibility to be the protector and provider for those you love. You demand respect and attention and become irritated and even domineering when important things do not go your way. You need to feel in command of important undertakings, and resist supportive roles. You seek the forefront and the limelight. You are exceptionally creative and original and possess a touch of the unusual. Your approach to problems is unique and you have the courage to wander from the beaten path. You can be impatient with your shortcomings and those of others. You are very concerned with your status and foster the appearance of success and self-satisfaction. The need to appear well off propels you to strive for growth, success and the finer things of life. Max, you should watch out for selfishness, conceit and the over-concern with appearance. You must guard against overzealous behavior, anger and aggressiveness. If these qualities are not brought under control you could become excessively domineering, vindictive and even violent. You perform best when you are left to your own devices. Ideally you should own your own business and be your own boss. Hold fast to your life's dream and work with the determination you possess to realize it. You can become overly stressed by your driven nature. Be careful about the food you eat and maintain an exercise program you enjoy. Competition sports are often a healthy outlet for a person with your drive, particularly sports involving running and swimming. Don't let pride and overconfidence be your masters. Remember, your talents and abilities are a gift from a higher source, which should promote gratitude and humility, rather than pride and conceit. More often than not a person with a 1 Life Path will achieve much in life as long as the drive, creativity, originality and pioneering spirit are fully employed! Your Life Path's compatibility is 6 and 1 Elizabeth and Max, your Life Path numbers are the most important numbers in your charts, and, as such, their compatibility is very important to the well-being of your relationship. Max is fortunate. Elizabeth's six reflects a great capacity for love, understanding, sacrifice and support. The six is, by nature, perhaps the most harmonious of all numbers. But Max is not the only one who is fortunate in this relationship. Elizabeth also has Page 8

reasons for gratitude. Max will protect and defend Elizabeth through thick and thin. The power of the one should not be underestimated. And to have that power and concentrated energy on your side, Elizabeth, can be a real blessing. Max can make you feel safe and secure, since there is nothing wishy-washy about Max. This is a combination that can last for a long time, without ever going through the kind of turbulence so many other relationships experience. But, as always, there is another side to the coin. This aspect of Max's chart reveals an inner force and a driven energy that doesn't slow down for anything. Max doesn't put up with weakness and is demanding of others. Like a true leader, Max needs to see courage and strength represented in others. Elizabeth reveals a different nature. At least in this aspect of the chart. Elizabeth is compromising, forgiving and sometimes sacrificing to a fault. Max has to be careful not to see this as a weakness, since Elizabeth's ability to defend the weaknesses of others is alien to a number one. Likewise, Elizabeth may at times be disturbed to recognize a somewhat hard and unforgiving quality in Max. Elizabeth should not confuse that with a lack of compassion. Max is certainly capable of offering compassion, especially towards victims of circumstances, where fault or laziness, or cowardice is not an issue. Only when Max feels someone is not pulling his or her weight, can Max respond quite harshly. The important thing for both Max and Elizabeth is to understand that they are very different in the way they view human qualities. Their priorities differ. That's all. Therefore, if they are able to keep an eye open for their differences and value their respective good qualities, they will certainly enjoy a long life together.

EXPRESSION Your Expression number reveals your physical and mental constitution, the orientation or goal of your life. Some numerologists refer to this number as the Destiny, because it represents a lifelong target at which you are aiming. You work at fulfilling this potential every day of your life. Thus, the Expression number reveals your inner goal, the person you aim to be. The Expression number reveals the talents, abilities, and shortcomings that were with you when you entered your human body. Your name, and the numbers derived from it, reveals your development, as well as the talents and issues you will be working with during this life. For those for whom reincarnation is an accepted philosophy, the vibration of your full name can be seen as the totality of your personal evolution, the experiences, talents, and wisdom accumulated over many life times. Every experience, no matter how great or small, along this evolutionary path has influenced your development, and brought you to your current state of being. The Expression is your being; the Life Path is the major lesson you are attempting to learn this time around. Time allows the gradual emergence of your personality. By reading the Expression number below, you will come to understand your basic nature and the abilities and issues inherent in your being. Elizabeth, your Expression is 14/5 Elizabeth, you are a free spirit. You love change, adventure, and excitement. You love your freedom. Like a bird that needs its wings to live, you cannot exist without it. Freedom is the nucleus around which your life revolves. You need it for your very survival. By Page 9

using freedom properly, you are able to explore and develop all of your varied talents. You will meet many types of people and travel great distances. Freedom is the atmosphere necessary for you to bring forth your many talents. You are capable of doing almost anything, and probably quite well. Only by avoiding the imprisonment of illusory security are you able to bring forth your abilities. Elizabeth, you are unusually adaptable. In fact, change is a blessing for you. In the same way, you need challenge and variety. You hate the routine of life; being stuck is a catastrophe for you. You become miserable when you are held back or held down. The taste and texture and color of life have an overpowering allure for you. From childhood, you dream of seeing foreign lands, experiencing the sensual and the exotic. You want to try everything at least once in life. All of life is a playground for your senses. But this can get you into trouble. You may fail to respect your natural limits, either biologically or socially. Any sort of boundary is anathema to you, which can blind you to your natural limits, and may cause you to overindulge your desire for food, sweets, alcohol, sex, and drugs. Elizabeth, you are gifted in your ability to communicate. Your facility with words is almost limitless. You can be a salesman, politician, lawyer, public relations person, and minister. You also possess the talent to share and advance new ideas. You are talented with your hands. You love the new and untried. Your field is the frontier. You are a bit of a gambler, and often play for very high stakes. All of this combines to give you a youthful enthusiasm, which others find infectious and attractive. You like to work with others, but need to perform your task un-encumbered by the restraints of others. Elizabeth, you are a clever and a quick thinker, but your thought processes -- like your life in general -- can be unorganized and scattered. You must stay grounded and focused if you want to be successful. You fall in and out of love frequently, especially early in life. You are naturally sensual and commonly have a strong sex drive. These characteristics usually make for a lively and exciting love life, but you must guard against shallow feelings and relationships. Your challenge is to develop mature and lasting relationships. Self-discipline and setting healthy limits is the key to your success in virtually every area of your life. Ironically, you will find that as you learn to set appropriate limits on yourself, you will develop more self- mastery and realize even greater freedom. This is especially true when it comes to finishing what you start. Your tendency is to give up once you've got a project or job under control; you grow bored quickly. You start to fantasize about a new challenge, or the rewards of your great accomplishment, long before the work is finished. The 5 Expression desires the whole world. You are aware that you have many talents that can bring much success. But that success depends on your willingness to choose certain areas to concentrate on, and to bring them to perfection. Max, your Expression is 18/9 Max, you are the humanitarian. You are attracted to a cause or a movement whose purpose is to make a better world. You are extremely idealistic, sometimes to the point of being naive about people or methods. You have great compassion and seek to create a more humane society. You are drawn to those who suffer physically or are at the hand of Page 10

injustice. You are the righter of wrongs. Your deepest intention is to transform the world. You are willing to sacrifice in order to advance your cause. Indeed, this seems to be a theme in your life. From time to time, you find yourself involved in a project whose very life depends upon your willingness to sacrifice something that relates directly to your ego. You are highly idealistic. You are also a visionary, with the ability to influence and direct the masses. Deep inside, you long for the love and approval of the many, and seek fame. Part of your hunger for fame has to do with your need for validation; you are your own harshest critic. Max, you realize your greatest satisfaction when you are involved in some activity that directly benefits the public good. Politics, law, protection of the environment, teaching, and healing are areas in which you would succeed. You have a broad view of humanity and are not shackled with prejudice. You should have friends and associates from all walks of life, all colors and religious backgrounds. People fascinate and enrich you. A wide diversity of people and experiences stimulate and bring forth qualities within you that would otherwise lay dormant. You have an abundance of artistic talent. Many with your Expression number find themselves in the arts, especially in literature, painting, and the visual and performing arts. The number 9 indicates the completion of a cycle or a block of learning. The 9 Expression suggests that you have reached the point where a breakthrough can occur; during this lifetime you can apply all that you have learned along your evolutionary path and complete a major stage in your development. This is why we find many geniuses with the 9 Expression. You have the ability to synthesize many diverse bits of knowledge into a unified whole. Max, your appearance is important. You are keenly aware of how others perceive you. As a result, others see you as a person with a great deal of control. Conversely, you are charismatic. Despite the cool and distant personality you project, people are attracted to you. You tend to express your love somewhat impersonally. You tend to be preoccupied with your vision or cause, and sometimes overlook the needs of those closest to you. You need to be reminded to give your love more personally and more openly. Ironically, you are a very loving and sincere person, but often neglect to express what you truly feel. In the same way, you can overlook your own needs. You can avoid sharing of your deeper feelings, creating a reservoir of emotion. You tend to postpone your personal satisfaction in favor of some larger work. Try to be more spontaneous and courageous about showing your real self, including your vulnerability. Your basic belief in the goodness of humanity is unshakable. This causes you to encourage the best in people, but occasionally makes you vulnerable to being taken advantage of. You are not a very good judge of character. The surest way to personal satisfaction is for you to become part of some larger social cause. Your nature is to serve. You are happiest when you feel you are helping to advance the human race. Your Expression's compatibility is 5 and 9 More than any other number in your chart, your Expression number reflects who you are as a person. Earlier, you read about the Life Path number and how important that number Page 11

is in your chart. However, the Life Path number reflects “the path you walk on,” and should be seen more as a powerful influence than as a part of your personality makeup. Your Expression number on the other hand, reflects a deeper part of you. It is more difficult to overcome possible negative traits you may have recognized in yourself when they are found in this part of the chart, than when they are found under the Life Path description. It can’t be emphasized too much how important it is to realize that numbers in different areas of the chart affect you differently, even when it is the same number. Sometimes, you may read something that seems to directly contradict earlier statements. Yet, if you take the time to think about them carefully, you will probably recognize that you, as a human being, are extremely complex and full of the same contradictions. This is simply the way we are. You may be organized in one area of your life, while chaos rules in another area. You may be tactful and sensitive in one setting, and direct and confrontational in another situation. There is very little the five and the nine have in common, Elizabeth and Max. In fact, there is no common ground at all. Imagine a social event where all the participants are pure archetypes based on the personalities of the cardinal numbers, you will never see the five and the nine huddled together, laughing and talking and sharing jokes. Like oil and water, the five and the nine won’t mix. They are so far apart that they would have a hard time keeping a conversation going, and an even harder time enjoying it - if at all possible... Elizabeth and Max, the numbers found in this particular aspect of the chart are not responsible for the attraction between you. The fact that you have a relationship indicates strong compatibilities in other areas of the chart. You will find that other numbers - as described elsewhere in this report - sustain your relationship. Elizabeth, your adventurous, dynamic, and freedom-loving spirit reflected in this part of your chart can be annoying and perceived as irresponsible by Max. Max, your idealism, your sense of duty and responsibility to mankind, your desire to “make a difference” in this world, appear superficial to that part of Elizabeth that is represented by this five. Although there is not much to be done about this lack of compatibility, the relationship between a five and a nine is far from doomed. Other aspects of your personalities are obviously strongly connected and compatible, otherwise there would not be a relationship at all. So, how can you minimize the lack of compatibility between the five and the nine in this aspect of the chart? For Max, it is important to know that idealism, self-righteousness, duty and responsibility will only impress Elizabeth if you don’t take credit for your actions. Elizabeth distrusts idealism but admires results. Without limiting yourself Max, you will have to accept the fact that you are on your own when it comes to following your heart in these areas. Similarly, Elizabeth, in Max’s eyes you sometimes appear shallow and selfish, not because you are shallow and selfish, but because Max connects selflessness and inspired actions with depth and moral strength. Elizabeth and Max, you will have to compromise and be diplomatic when it comes to these issues and explore your number combination in other aspects of the chart that certainly have sustained your relationship.

HEART'S DESIRE Page 12

Your Heart's Desire is the inner you. It shows your underlying urge, your true motivation. It reveals the general intention behind many of your actions. Consequently, it dramatically influences the choices you make in life. The Heart's desire is seen as part of the larger picture, called the core numbers, which includes the Life Path, Expression, Day you were born, and Personality. But each points to a different aspect of you. The Expression number reveals your talents and abilities, and your general direction in life. The Life Path is the central lesson you came into the world to learn. The Day you were born is very closely connected to your Life Path. It reveals specific talents you possess, which will be helpful to you in dealing with your Life Path. The Personality reveals how people tend to see you. It also demonstrates what characteristics you are projecting to the world. The Heart's Desire demonstrates the identity of the soul that joined the earth -- you, the spiritual being. Elizabeth, your Heart's Desire is 14/5 Freedom is essential for your happiness. Elizabeth, you love change, new experiences, meeting new people, adventure and travel. You love the exotic, far away places. Variety is more than mere spice of life -- you thrive on it. You are extremely flexible and adaptable. You have more curiosity than the proverbial cat. You have a sharp mind and a natural ability with words. You are a born communicator, clear, fluent, and imaginative in every area that interests you -- which are many! Your Heart's Desire makes you very well equipped for life. Change -- the only constant in life -- doesn't threaten you, as it does other people. You are highly resourceful. Generally, you can think clearly in a crisis; you have good mental and physical reflexes. Whenever you fall, you tend to land on your feet. Elizabeth, you are highly enthusiastic. You get excited easily over a new idea or opportunity. Your nature is unconventional. You are a bit of a gambler, taking risks whenever you think the rewards are worth it. You are very socially oriented and rarely, if ever, dull or boring. You are, of course, drawn to those people who, like yourself, are original thinkers and have exciting personalities. Elizabeth, you enjoy being involved in several projects at the same time. You need continual stimulation by the new and fascinating. You tend to discard boring pastimes quickly. Your love of freedom and change can have numerous consequences. You can be irresponsible, especially when it comes to finishing tasks. You have a hard time persevering at a given project and bringing it to completion. You must be careful that your love of sensory pleasure doesn't lead you to excessive indulgence in alcohol, food, sex, and even drugs. Elizabeth, you are a bit of a hero and want to save the world. This causes you to make promises you often cannot keep. Down deep, you long to please everyone, an impossible goal. Many 5s can be emotionally superficial. They feel love passionately, but fear making deep and lasting commitments. As a result, they resist the depths of emotional attachments and remain on the surface where it is safe. You will experience many changes and unusual events, but you learn best through experience. Therefore, your life will be full and you will make great strides in personal Page 13

growth. Max, your Heart's Desire is 13/4 You like to live a stable, well organized life. You dislike sudden changes. You prefer orderliness in all things. You have a systematic mind that is reflected in everything you do. You can establish and maintain a routine. You are exacting with details and quite thorough. You like to carefully analyze a problem and then tackle it in a logical and practical approach. You want to be dependable, a rock of strength and an example of discipline for others. Work is central to your life, but you may have a tendency to overdo it; you can easily become a workaholic if you're not careful. You have a great deal of energy and can accomplish a lot. You want a family and you are a good parent. You may carry the discipline and the need for orderliness too far, especially in your family, making children and spouse feel oppressed and limited. Flexibility is your key to harmony and balance in life. For you, structure is more important than freedom, which you tend to interpret as chaos. But others do not have your need for well defined systems, in fact, they may feel deeply inhibited and uncomfortable with it. The peace you get from orderliness may represent a prison to someone else. Max, you need and want much love, but you are not very demonstrative. You can be a little rigid and stubborn. You are honest and unpretentious. You detest liars and affectations. You can be very determined and tenacious. You are the bedrock of any enterprise. You have the courage to go into the nitty gritty of a problem and come up with a solution. Try not to lose sight of the larger picture and dream while you plumb the depths of the bottom line. Your Heart's Desire's compatibility is 5 and 4 Compatibility of the Heart’s Desire numbers is very important in a relationship - few relationships last beyond the initial stage if the Heart’s Desire numbers are not compatible. Max and Elizabeth, you make up a challenging combination. Max likes routine and predictability, while Elizabeth prefers change and the unexpected. The numbers four and five stand for each other's polar opposites in many ways. And, interestingly, this is often where the initial attraction lies. Max is drawn to Elizabeth’s daring, adventurous, dynamic and energetic life. On the other hand, Elizabeth admires the control and discipline Max seems to have. Quite often, this combination makes for a dynamic relationship comparable to a roller coaster ride. So, it is not difficult to conclude that this combination can only survive if your mutual love is strong enough to give each other room to live the life style of your respective choices. There is nothing gained by trying to change your partner. Your needs are simply too far apart. Max will have to accept the fact that Elizabeth is not predictable and, therefore, Elizabeth will never be happy living a too-structured life where everything can be forecast. Elizabeth should make peace with Max’s need for a more organized and controlled environment. Page 14

Very different attitudes can also be noticed in other areas. Elizabeth is sensual and feels totally comfortable with other people. Elizabeth is more social and, probably, has a wild streak. Max can be social when the occasion calls for it, but Max will always keep a certain amount of distance. When choosing company, Max is more discriminate and tends to hold on to protocol longer. Although as a rule more conventional and careful, Max can, when the occasion is just right, reveal an extrovert, even outrageous, side. When it comes to opinions, Max and Elizabeth, you will find yourself on opposite sides more often than not. Max may be Republican while Elizabeth votes Democrat. Max needs a somewhat structured spiritual connection. Elizabeth’s spiritual world is very imaginative and more changeable. Max may be much more willing to accept rules and regulations that Elizabeth will try to break with every opportunity. Of course, these are just examples provided to give you a picture of what this combination may bring about, and not to be taken too literally. Interestingly, this kind of relationship can be very powerful and long lasting. The key to achieve that is not to take yourself and your concepts too seriously - something Max in particular may have to work on - and maintain your sense of humor. If you can do that, you will be able to enjoy each other’s company instead of getting irritated by the differences you encounter. So, keep in mind that opinions are just opinions, with relative values. On the other hand, a sense of right and wrong, a moral foundation, should not be relative. Sometimes, we find ourselves confused, attaching the same importance to our opinions and moral convictions, and when that happens, it is no longer possible to enjoy or build on the differences. Max and Elizabeth, this is where the danger lies in your four and five combination. Once the differences become so important you can no longer appreciate your partner, the end of the relationship is unavoidable. Therefore, go ahead and work on developing these two key qualities - tolerance and open-mindedness - so that you can build a happy and healthy relationship where Elizabeth’s adventurous spirit and energy and Max’s control and discipline will stand side by side.

PERSONALITY Your Personality number is derived from the consonants of your full name at birth. Your Personality is like a narrow entrance hall to the great room that is your true nature. It is those aspects that you feel comfortable sharing with people at the outset of a relationship. With time and trust, you invite others into the deeper aspects of your nature; you reveal more of who you really are, in effect, your Heart's Desire, Expression, and so on. Your Personality number often serves as a censoring device, both in terms of what you send out, as well as what you allow to approach. It discriminates in the kinds of people and information you let enter your heart and mind. For this reason, your Personality is usually much more narrow and protective in its definition than the real you. It can screen out some of what you do not want to deal with -- people or situations -- but it also welcomes those things that immediately relate to your inner nature. Your Personality number also indicates how others perceive you. No one can be objective about himself or herself. Even our closest friends and relatives have trouble describing how they see us. Elizabeth, your Personality is 18/9 Page 15

Elizabeth, you have an impressive and aristocratic bearing. No matter how tall you are, you appear noble and upright. You are very much in control of the image you send out to others. Many actors, dancers, and other performers have a 9 Personality Number. You are elegant, graceful, and charismatic. Many admire you. You have the kind of stature that pulls people to you or repels them intensely. Some are jealous of you and may seek to belittle you. You may encourage this to some extent by the amount of arrogance you radiate. This is a caution for all 9 Personalities -- they are sometimes aloof and hold themselves above the world. Your challenge is to come down to earth with your fellow man. Conversely, you have a great compassion for humanity and want to dedicate yourself to improving the lot of others. You are better when dealing with the trials of the many than the trouble of a single person. You are more capable of working on the grand scale, addressing the needs of society, than on a one-to-one basis. Elizabeth, you are kind and sympathetic, helpful and compassionate. Behind the controlled and calm facade, you are sensitive, vulnerable and emotional. You have excellent taste. There is a good deal of artistic talent in you that shows in your home environment and your clothing. You tend to see yourself as a guardian of society, a benevolent leader, guiding and directing your community toward a better world. Max, your Personality is 14/5 Max, you are a stimulating person. You brighten social gatherings with your fresh and original ideas. Your conversation tends to be sprinkled with novelty and wit. You have a quick tongue and charisma. You are probably an excellent salesman. There is a lot of nervous energy within you looking for an outlet. You love your freedom and you see this life as an ongoing adventure. You are upbeat and optimistic. This is infectious for those you meet. As a result, you inspire others. You have a strong and attractive body, with good muscle tone. Your movements are supple, graceful, and athletic. Max, your bane is that you love to indulge your senses with food and drink and can easily gain weight. You have an appetite for anything that stimulates the senses -- sex, food, alcohol, and drugs. Discipline is a necessity for you. The negative side of a 5 Personality Number can give rise to an addictive personality. You like to dress fashionably and can get away with more colorful clothes. However, you should be aware of the value of quality and the power of modesty. You are a little irresponsible and quick in satisfying your sensual urges. You are attractive and that, coupled with your innate ability to promote yourself, makes it easy for you to satisfy your desire for new and exciting relationships. You have a kind of swashbuckling personality. People see you as the adventurer that you are. They expect the unexpected from you, and when they don't you often surprise them. You have a quick and eclectic mind. You attract information from all directions, but you can be a bit superficial, skimming over the surface of a wide diversity of subjects. This may cause you to be a bit of a dilettante. You can get away with it much of the time, but for your own success and happiness, you should try to ground knowledge and deepen Page 16

your understanding. Max, your versatility and adaptability make you capable of getting the most out of virtually every opportunity in life. You decide quickly on a course of action and your timing is usually good. You radiate with the potential for success, which attracts others who can further you along your path. Your Personality's compatibility is 9 and 5 Quickly recognized when two people first meet, not many relationships even get started unless the Personality numbers are compatible. Elizabeth and Max, as you may have noticed, the numbers that define the compatibility of your Personality are identical to the numbers found under your Expression's compatibility - with the important difference that in this part of the chart, Elizabeth has Max's number and Max has Elizabeth's number. What this means, is that the qualities described in the section under Expression apply here too, but the attributes recognized as belonging to Elizabeth now also fit Max and vice versa. And in equal measures. This is somewhat uncommon and the result is difficult, if not impossible, to predict. To use an analogy, you might say that the Expression reveals that Elizabeth brings blue into the relationship, and Max adds yellow. The result is green. At the same time, the Personality shows that in this part of the chart Max contributes the blue and Elizabeth adds yellow. Again, the end product is green. Now you have twice the green, with each of you bringing in similar attributes in equal amounts. Read the compatibility section under the Expression again, but this time replace Elizabeth with Max and Max with Elizabeth. In addition, all the qualities and traits, positive as well as negative, described in the compatibility section of the Expression should be given considerably more weight. When two people have a "reversed recurrence" of numbers, such as appears in your compatibility chart, Elizabeth and Max, the effect tends to be either very good or very bad. There is no middle ground. All the qualities are intensified; the positive as well as the negative. Keys to maintaining a positive relationship therefore are your ability to compromise and to be tactful at all times. And most importantly, to avoid stressful confrontations through awareness and sensitivity.

PERSONAL YEARS Your Personal Year number is a strong indication of the trends and circumstances you will experience during the year ahead. Your Personal Year cycles are based on the Universal Year cycles and therefore run concurrent with the calendar year. Transit and Essence cycles are based on the letters of your name and run from birth date to birth date. There are nine personal year numbers, which makes up a complete Epicycle. Each Epicycle reveals the progression or evolution of a specific part of your growth. Elizabeth, your progress along this Epicycle can be seen very logically, from the infancy or beginning of a growth period in your life, to the conclusion or culmination of that process. The 1 Page 17

personal year indicates your first steps in a new direction. The years that follow indicate your progress along this path, concluding with your 9 Personal Year, which completes the cycle. Below is a description of your current Personal Year. It indicates where you are on the 9 year Epicycle. The Personal Years form the building steps that mark your progress through life. Elizabeth, your Personal Year for 2016 is 3 This is a year of expansion and personal growth, Elizabeth. It is a time of heightened personal expression. Creativity and artistic talent come to the forefront. You are lighthearted and drawn to all kinds of social events. More than most other years, you will entertain and be entertained. You meet new and exciting people. It is a time to appreciate all that you have. You are highly dynamic and charismatic. Your challenge is to avoid scattering your energies. You have a rare opportunity to bring forth new and creative ideas. But that requires discipline and focus. It is easy to be optimistic and enthusiastic this year and this may result in speeding up your projects. Yet there will be delays and disappointments unless your enthusiasm is based upon the reality of work and concentration. This is a pleasant time in which friendship is enjoyed and love shared easily. This is often a good financial year, particularly if your creativity is well directed. Surround yourself with upbeat and positive people. Elizabeth, you may travel more than usual, which in all likelihood will be filled with exciting people and pleasure. Control this years tendencies towards glamour and extravagance, yet allow your self more room to enjoy and celebrate. You communicate well this year and are more capable of getting your ideas across. Love is in the air. February brings changes; June sees the completion of a project and July signals a new beginning. August can be emotional, as can November. Max, your Personal Year for 2016 is 8 After last year's constant involvement with yourself and very possible occasional doubts about the state of your business or career you will find this year to be a relief, Max. Things finally work out. Long postponed checks and promotions come through. You see the light at the end of your financial tunnel and an inner strength and confidence is breaking through. This is your year of harvest and, depending on the effort you put out in the past seven years, your reward will be equally large. There is a beauty in these cycles we can recognize and understand and in doing so we find ourselves "in the flow" and there is no more need to try and struggle upstream. So this year you will have an opportunity to involve yourself fully in work and material growth and bring home the rewards, at the same time a certain detachment is also necessary, for you and for the experience you have because it is not the reward that brings you happiness but your experience of life, which is why before the rewarding eight year you have had such opportunity for growth during the soul-searching of a seven year. Give in to your ambitions, you will find yourself more clear and focused and able to pursue and reach your goals. Max, your power is visible and strong, mental creativity is high, vision and intuition will guide you, and at the same time Page 18

you are more efficient and focused. There can be loss, serious loss, bankruptcy and failure, because always the rewards are directly proportionate to your effort and motivation, however you know the effort you put out and you know your motivations, so there must be no room for fear and doubt, only for success and winning and this year will undoubtedly turn out to be a very satisfying year. Your Personal Year's compatibility for 2016 is 3 and 8 Compatibility is as important with the cycles as it is with character traits. It is possible for a relationship between two people with otherwise very compatible charts to break down as a result of encountering one or more incompatible cycles. However, it is much easier to overcome or avoid possible pitfalls resulting from incompatible cycles than from incompatible personality traits. Creativity, optimism, and inspiration are the main ingredients in Elizabeth’s cycle. Ambition, goals, and financial rewards are the components ruling Max’s cycle. Although very different, these cycles are nonetheless compatible. They complement and inspire each other. Elizabeth and Max, this is not only a good combination of cycles as it relates to your relationship, but also on a more practical level. You will be able to take care of long postponed projects, overcome some financial difficulties you have had, make repairs to the house, and so forth. This is one of the best combinations to be shared by two people involved in a relationship. You relate easily, communicate well, and support each other’s endeavors. There is, however, an area where there might be some discordance. Elizabeth is inspired and active, but not focused on goals so much as on the activities themselves, while Max is completely focused on the bottom line. As a result, Max may feel Elizabeth is irresponsible. Elizabeth, on the other hand, may feel that Max is all work and no play. Compromising and understanding that each cycle has its own opportunities will help you get the most out of this period. Elizabeth, your Personal Year for 2017 is 4 This is a year to be organized and practical. Take care of details. Commit yourself entirely to your goals. Elizabeth, your concentration and ability to focus will be much improved over last year. You will have an attitude of realism and determination. There can be a sense of limitation and some frustration this year. However, it is a year of important opportunities that must be seized. There can be considerable work-related travel. You must be flexible this year to make full use of the opportunities that present themselves. It will require a combination of perseverance, hard work, and versatility. You will receive recognition for your efforts and support from your friends and family. It is a good year to buy real estate or remodel your home. It is also a good time to take care of projects which have been postponed for to long. Fulfill your obligations and do not be afraid to spend some of that hard earned money. Selling and trading during this year usually is quite successful. This is the year to work on your foundation and prepare yourself for the many changes Page 19

that will undoubtedly come next year. As a result of your hard work, there will be much satisfaction and a feeling of accomplishment. January and February will bring some important change, a new opportunity perhaps. March requires self-reflection and reshaping of your plans. It is a good time to meditate on what lies ahead. June brings a new and important step -- a breakthrough, perhaps -- in your work. October brings changes and a sense of chaos. Elizabeth, you may feel threatened by the changes that are on the horizon. But November brings assistance in the form of a promotion or additional financial support. Max, your Personal Year for 2017 is 9 This is your year to finish up all unfinished business, Max, to clean house and make room for new things. On a material level this is a good time to get rid of unnecessary weight, to give away or sell what you do not need anymore and to pay off old debts. On a spiritual level you will experience a different mode altogether. Your attention should turn to others and their needs, find ways to be of help and give time and energy to worthwhile causes. You must lighten your burden of questions and doubts and the best way to do so is by directing your attention to another direction, away from yourself and you will find yourself becoming lighter and more in touch with your self. This is a time of completion, problems can be solved and over with, strained relationships relax or disappear, the sources of stress in work or business can be better understood and dealt with. Be social and communicative, enjoy music and other arts. Max, your creativity is higher than usual. There can be some difficulties this year due to your desire to face obstacles and overcome them, decisions have to be taken and courage and strength may be severely tested several times, this is not going to be an easy year all the time but you will feel relieved and on the brink of a positive breakthrough by the end of this year. This is the end of a nine year epicycle and will you will feel many times the excitement of a new and promising era when optimism is your friend but you will also experience the fear of letting go, however the more you let go the more room there is to be filled during the next epicycle. Your Personal Year's compatibility for 2017 is 4 and 9 Elizabeth and Max, the four and the nine are not the most compatible of cycles. As a matter of fact, this combination often causes emotional turmoil within a relationship, in part because Max is at the end of a series of cycles, a time when one’s feelings and emotions are always unpredictable. Max needs to let go of the old and prepare for the new, and letting go invariably brings on powerful emotions. Elizabeth, on the other hand, is experiencing a time during which there is little room for feelings or sensitivity of any kind. Elizabeth’s focus is on practical matters: career, work, taking care of details, effort and discipline. Elizabeth needs to see results and progress. This is a time when Max needs Elizabeth to offer understanding and to show that you are walking the same road towards common goals. In contrast, Elizabeth would rather see Max getting on with the more mundane business at hand. Elizabeth and Max, you must be conscious of the fact that you are going through very different stages and, at this time, the best advice for both of you is to try to be as close to each other as you can be. Take the effort to focus on your partner and not on yourself. Most importantly, get away from the daily grind and do things you enjoy doing together as Page 20

often as you can manage: go to the movies or go dancing, or paint the town red if necessary. Elizabeth, your Personal Year for 2018 is 5 This is a year of dynamic change, Elizabeth. Many surprises will come your way. Be open and ready to embrace new opportunities. Do not be overly careful this year. This is a year in which a major step forward can take place if you are willing to take some calculated risks and do a little gambling. Wisdom and prudence is the key, but you will definitely be faced with choices that require fast action and a willingness to act before all the facts are in. This is an exciting year in which you will be required to promote yourself in order to take full advantage of the opportunities that await you. There will be increased opportunity to travel and possibly a change of residence. You may be tempted by the desires of the flesh: too much food, alcohol, sex, and drugs. Be careful and discriminate. You could make mistakes in these areas. You will have some unexpected adventures and lucky breaks this year. This can be an unsettling year if you try to cling to outmoded methods or characteristics. This a year to throw off the old and adopt the new. It is a rebirth and a release after last year's struggle. This is a year in which change takes place consistently, and particularly so in April and May. July is a breakthrough, a time to enjoy life. September can be intense, while October requires tact and balance in relationships. Max, your Personal Year for 2018 is 1 Be ready for major changes. Max, you will be inspired to start new projects or enterprises. You will feel a strong forward push toward new goals. This is a time for vision and planning. Share your dream with others; make plans, get the necessary support, but, above all, rely on yourself as the driving force. Be decisive! You are starting a new nine year Epicycle. Everything you do now will affect your future. Do not hold back the inner force of creation. Be direct, daring, and bold. You will have more confidence and determination this year, particularly in comparison with last year, which was a time of letting go. This year represents a time of birth. It's a time to take charge and to apply yourself to your dream. This is also a good time to make the personal changes you have long wanted to make: Start a diet and/or an exercise program, or begin a new course of study. There may be some emotional turmoil, especially in the first two or three months. It takes a while to get the ball rolling. There are many changes you must make and much work to be done. Be open-minded, organized, and focused. Avoid distractions and procrastination. Max, you are at a crossroads. You will need courage and a clear head to stay on the right track. This is a year of opportunities. The key months in your year ahead are March, in which you are able to lay the foundation to your plans; April, in which changes take place such as a change of residence or career; July and August mark a time in which you will see the fruits of your labors begin to take place; October represents a major turn in events, often fraught with Page 21

emotional turmoil; the fall marks a coalescing of your plans into more concrete form. Your Personal Year's compatibility for 2018 is 5 and 1 This is a highly compatible combination, Max and Elizabeth. Max is at the brink of a new direction where signs of opportunity and progress are very clear. Elizabeth also faces a dynamic time, but a period in which little goes according to plan. If you had to draw a schematic of these cycles, the one cycle as found in Max’s chart would probably show a straight line throughout the period, perhaps a few bends and curves, but all clearly going in one direction. As in Elizabeth’s schematic, the five cycle would be represented by nothing but curves and bends alongside very few straight lines. So, the conclusion is: the whole cycle is about change and movement. Max and Elizabeth, for both of you this is a time in which you may have less opportunity – and even less desire - to pay a lot of attention to each other. You would do well accepting that from the beginning so neither of you will feel left out and ignored. You are both going to have your hands full and need to apply yourself to your own needs and desires. For Elizabeth, the keyword is discipline. Try to stay focused but be flexible at the same time. For Max, the keyword is drive. Take advantage of your energy and do your best to reach your goals. It sounds like a contradiction, but if you both apply yourself to your own needs, you will be doing each other a favor and the chances of disrupting your relationship will be smaller. Rest assured; you will be spending lots of time together next cycle, when the two and the six rule.

PERSONAL MONTHS Elizabeth, your Personal Month for July 2016 is 1 Elizabeth, July is a 1 Personal Month in a 3 Personal Year. It is a time of dynamism, courage, and eagerness to begin the new. Last month's blues are gone and you feel you are on top of the world. You are more original and creative than at any time of this already creative year. Many of those in a 3 Personal Rhythm Cycle may finally break out of unrewarding patterns. Some may even make career changes, or start their own businesses. This is not a time to be squeamish in any area of your life -- be it money, career or romance. You may experience an urge to write, paint, or express yourself in some other creative way. By all means, take on the challenge. If you are not already involved, you may well meet someone special, but the relationship, while intense and passionate, may not be a lasting one. This is a month that will also bring opportunities to mingle with new acquaintances at social events. You will be outgoing and witty. These are great opportunities to make lasting contacts which will help your career and other endeavors. A warning to the easily excitable: don't brag about your plans and accomplishments. The effect may backfire. Max, your Personal Month for July 2016 is 6 Max, July is a 6 Personal Month in an 8 Personal Year. It is an excellent time for business and financial affairs. Respect and recognition for past efforts is followed by Page 22

financial gain or promotion. You are in a position to ask and receive what you believe to be your due. However, you may find that you are not as diplomatic as you might be. This is your most challenging weakness during this month. Guard against arrogance. Your responsibilities increase possibly as a result of a promotion. Family affairs, friendships, and romance also move to the foreground and are rewarding and healing. You will be asked to sacrifice some of your time and energy to a younger person or someone who is old or sick. You feel closer to the people around you and you want to be there for them. Somewhat contradicting to this show of warmth and affection is the lack of tact and sensitivity you may display a number of times during this month. Max, you may be too intent on forcing people to see life as you do, rather than allowing them their own perspectives and their own rates of growth. The later part of this month brings changes that arise from a chance meeting at a social event. This change may be based on a romantic encounter, and may affect your living situation. An unexpected travel is also a possibility. Your Personal Month's compatibility for July 2016 is 1 and 6 Relationship compatibility of Personal Month cycles can have a powerful effect. But keep in mind: the cycle is short. So, if you run into turmoil, it helps to remember that it is in the nature of a cycle to be only temporary. Note: The compatibility between cycles is repetitive, as is the nature of cycles. While the influence of Personal Month cycles represented by the same number, can vary greatly depending on the yearly cycle, the compatibility aspect changes very little. You will therefore find that the compatibility description is the same when, for example, a 3 and 4 Personal Month combination is found in a 5 year, as when it is found in a 6 year. Therefore, you will find that the possible influence of your Personal Month cycles never repeats itself within any one-hundred-and-eight-month period. However, the compatibility aspect repeats much more often - generally every nine months - but sometimes even less than that, depending on your Personal Year cycle. Your commitment to each other will be tested during this time, when outside influences may be affecting you in a negative way. You will need to trust and to rely on each other. It is quite likely that jealousy will rear its ugly head and it is good to understand right away that blame is not the answer. Turmoil will be around and the relationship will lack stability. This is one of the most difficult and challenging combinations, and it is important to remember that your greatest strength is found in your faith in each other. While going through stages of doubt and insecurity, Max may, at the same time, be the target of too much attention by someone else. In the meantime, Elizabeth will tend to be very focused on goals and career, and may be somewhat oblivious to the signals that would otherwise warn Elizabeth to start paying attention to Max. For both of you, the answer lies in a conscious effort to be as much a part in your partner’s life as possible, even if that proves to be somewhat inconvenient. There is also a strong possibility of a birth in the family. This combination of cycles often represents the birth of a child. If that is the case, everything changes and the relationship Page 23

becomes much stronger. Elizabeth, your Personal Month for August 2016 is 2 Elizabeth, August is a 2 Personal Month in a 3 Personal Year. It requires a sensitive and cooperative attitude at work and in all other areas. You are upbeat and optimistic during the early part of this month but an anticipated reward or recognition may go to someone else, much to your dismay. Your challenge is to set the record straight by using your diplomatic skills. Do not allow anger to alienate you from those involved. Otherwise, relationships go favorably this month. You are in a position to smooth out some long-standing disagreements between people close to you. Often, these disagreements do not involve you directly. You have the opportunity to serve as a peacemaker. Romance is also strongly represented and highly favorable. Elizabeth, your feelings are strong and your ability to communicate these feelings is enhanced. A good month to spend some extra time with your lover. Max, your Personal Month for August 2016 is 7 Max, August is a 7 Personal Month in an 8 Personal Year. The emphasis changes from outgoing to inward seeking. You are more serious now and self-reflective. You question the wisdom of some of your decisions and choices made during the past ten to twelve months. You keep to yourself, and are generally less social. You are engrossed in your work and feel a need to do a better job. Your desire for perfectionism is strongly enhanced, which results in self-criticism and impatience with others. At the root of this change in attitude is a spiritual need for clarity and understanding. You want more security, both internally, as well as in your more worldly roles. Max, you would do well spending some time alone for contemplation and meditation. In this respect, August stands out during this otherwise "material" year. Family and friends take a backseat during this period. There are strong feelings connected to your relationships with your loved ones, but these are experienced and expressed more subtly. Romance becomes more serious. You share mental, spiritual, and emotional experiences on the deepest level. There is no room for superficial exchanges. Your relationship with the person you are attracted to intensifies and becomes stronger as a result. Your Personal Month's compatibility for August 2016 is 2 and 7 Elizabeth, this is not a time to pay too much attention or attach much value to your emotional ups and downs. This is a time for you to swallow your pride, ignore any possible hurts, and to focus on what you want. During this time, you may occasionally feel that Max is a bit distant and seems to live in a world that doesn’t include you. In a way, this is true. Max is going through a time of self-reflection, a time of spiritual wondering. For Max, this is a time when life itself demands a lot of attention. Elizabeth, your best response is to focus on your own life. Quite different from Max, who Page 24

is consciously or sub-consciously, involved on a deep level with the mystery of life and all its manifestations, Elizabeth should be focused on the practical side of living; career, the home, finances, and so forth. If you both feel that each of you is more involved in yourself than in each other, take heart in the fact that this is not per se a bad thing. You play different roles right now and should allow each other the space and freedom to do that. Elizabeth and Max, it is only when you try to force your partner to move into your world, that the relationship might get damaged. Otherwise, the relationship is actually quite safe since neither one of you has any desire to rock the boat. Elizabeth, your Personal Month for September 2016 is 3 Elizabeth, September is a 3 Personal Month in a 3 Personal Year for you and your creativity is at an all-time high. You find solutions and discover new ways to improve old methods. You are communicative and express yourself well. You have a strong urge to write to old friends you haven't seen in some time. This need to re-establish relationships with people may even surprise you. At work, you discover that it is easy to reach others and influence the way they feel about themselves and their work. You uplift them and are rewarded with gratitude and support. This is a time to be social, easy-going, and optimistic. Max, your Personal Month for September 2016 is 8 Max, September is an 8 Personal Month in an 8 Personal Year for you. This is a month with great potential for your career and finances, especially to increase your finances for the long-term. It is a time to be aggressive and outspoken. Your authority is needed and you will have to apply yourself one hundred percent. However, there is another side to this month. You may feel that you have reached the pinnacle of your career, or that work and other areas of your life have become dull and monotonous. You may feel you need a break. You are approaching a time of deep inner change. Several times during your life you have reached a point at which you need to break out of a cocoon. All evolution is gradual, but periodically interrupted by sudden bursts of growth, or change. Max, you are at a stage in your life when you feel ready for such a change. However, you are not clear about the true nature of this change and, while you may feel inspired to force some practical changes now, you should approach this with care. Avoid impulsive decisions as well as any contractual arrangement that would tie you down for a long time. You need to rely on your own strength and feel confident that you have a certain amount of control over your own future. You should relax and let things develop at their own pace. Social events are highly favorable and there will be ample opportunity for that. Your Personal Month's compatibility for September 2016 is 3 and 8 Elizabeth and Max, the influences and compatibility of this month's cycle are already incorporated in the compatibility as described in the section of this year's Personal Year Page 25

cycle. An analysis of this month's compatibility is therefore redundant. You may, however, want to take another look at the description of the compatibility of this year's Personal Year cycle, keeping in mind that the compatibility for this month will reflect the same influences. Elizabeth, your Personal Month for October 2016 is 4 Elizabeth, October is a 4 Personal Month in a 3 Personal Year. It requires you to be practical and disciplined in all matters. It brings opportunity as well as limitations. Career is a high priority and you will find yourself putting in overtime. Details will need to be taken care off. There is very little room for slacking, and everyone may be making demands of you. You may feel frustrated and need to blow off steam. On the other hand, there is also much opportunity implicit in these demands and you will be pleasantly surprised with the rewards that come your way late in the month. You'll have to respond quickly. You may feel that you are not ready to take on the new challenge that comes with this opportunity, but if you overcome this temporary lack of confidence you will be well rewarded. This month is demanding in domestic affairs, as well. There is an ongoing need to watch finances carefully, make decisions concerning your budget, and plan for the future. If you have not been keeping a close eye on your checkbook, Elizabeth, this month will force you to balance your account and make up for haphazard expenditures of the past. There's not a whole lot of time for romance this month, but when you can find the time, your partner's love brings perspective and rejuvenation. Max, your Personal Month for October 2016 is 9 Max, October is a 9 Personal Month in an 8 Personal Year. It marks the beginning of the end of a certain era in your life. Now you begin to let go of certain expectations you have long held. There is a feeling of emptiness and of "what now?" The time has not yet come to respond to these feelings in a practical way. Now is the time to begin to become comfortable with the need to change. The changes contemplated involve both personal and professional life. For these reasons, October could become an emotional time. Some melodrama and role playing is actually a subconscious way for you to test the people around you, and the depth of their commitment. You are also testing your own position towards people, career, environment, spiritual beliefs, and other aspects of your life. You have, even if you are not aware of it, already begun the process of selecting what you want to remain in your life and what you want to discard. This process, which continues through different stages over the next 2 years, is natural and nothing to be afraid of. You are entering a period of reawakening. This means a letting go of some of the comfort and security that surrounded and protected you for many years. Start giving some of your energy to a good cause that benefits others. Ultimately, it will benefit you. It takes the spotlight of your doubts and questions, and gives you strength and confidence. For October, practical matters can be handled with ease. It is much better to pay off debts than to incur new ones. Completion is favored over new starts. It is a time to tie up Page 26

loose ends, not so much to begin new projects. It is a time to clean up and prepare for new things coming into your life. Max, you are not in the right mood to pay much attention to romance or personal relationships of any kind, unless it's to test the strength of the relationship. You may be a little judgmental and self-righteous and will need to guard yourself against this sort of thing. Your Personal Month's compatibility for October 2016 is 4 and 9 Elizabeth and Max, the four and the nine are not the most compatible of cycles. As a matter of fact, this combination often causes emotional turmoil within a relationship, in part because Max is at the end of a series of cycles, a time when one’s feelings and emotions are always unpredictable. Max needs to let go of the old and prepare for the new, and letting go invariably brings on powerful emotions. Elizabeth, on the other hand, is experiencing a time during which there is little room for feelings or sensitivity of any kind. Elizabeth’s focus is on practical matters: career, work, taking care of details, effort and discipline. Elizabeth needs to see results and progress. This is a time when Max needs Elizabeth to offer understanding and to show that you are walking the same road towards common goals. In contrast, Elizabeth would rather see Max getting on with the more mundane business at hand. Elizabeth and Max, you must be conscious of the fact that you are going through very different stages and, at this time, the best advice for both of you is to try to be as close to each other as you can be. Take the effort to focus on your partner and not on yourself. Most importantly, get away from the daily grind and do things you enjoy doing together as often as you can manage: go to the movies or go dancing, or paint the town red if necessary. Elizabeth, your Personal Month for November 2016 is 5 November is your second 5 Personal Month in a 3 Personal Year, and as before it brings change, excitement, and possibly a financial boost. The 5 brings movement -- travel, a change of residence or office, perhaps. You will receive a letter or phone call from someone close to you whom you haven't heard from in some time. This month should be light and playful. Try not to take things too seriously. The down-side of this combination (5 and 3) is in the area of relationships. You may have a tendency to misread others, to be a little insensitive and short on tact. Avoid confrontations in personal matters as well as those related to work. As long as you are upbeat and supportive, friendship and social events are favorable. As was the case with February of this year, November may also find you in the mood to indulge yourself. Moderation may be hard to maintain, but it's still the best advice. Max, your Personal Month for November 2016 is 1 Max, November is a 1 Personal Month in an 8 Personal Year. It brings confidence, independence, and individuality. Now, you are driven to take up new challenges, tackle new projects, and get a firm grip on your life. You have energy to spare and you use this Page 27

to inspire and motivate others. You feel that there is nothing you can't deal with. You are ambitious and result-oriented. You receive an opportunity that will have long-ranging effects on your life. You are confident, but also a bit stubborn and hardheaded. You are direct and not as sensitive to other people's feelings as usual. This is a good time for business and finances. It is a time to be decisive and adventurous, not a time to be conservative. Courage and originality are key ingredients needed to take full advantage of this cycle. You are more stable and outgoing in your personal life, much to the delight of friends and relatives. You are also generous and inspiring, but not in the mood to deal with the petty stuff. You are a little impatient. Romance may prove to be the most challenging aspect of this period. The chances of meeting someone are good, but your approach may be too aggressive and lacking in sensitivity. If you are married, or otherwise committed, a small warning: not everyone is on the high curve of his/her cycle, so be patient. Your Personal Month's compatibility for November 2016 is 5 and 1 This is a highly compatible combination, Max and Elizabeth. Max is at the brink of a new direction where signs of opportunity and progress are very clear. Elizabeth also faces a dynamic time, but a period in which little goes according to plan. If you had to draw a schematic of these cycles, the one cycle as found in Max’s chart would probably show a straight line throughout the period, perhaps a few bends and curves, but all clearly going in one direction. As in Elizabeth’s schematic, the five cycle would be represented by nothing but curves and bends alongside very few straight lines. So, the conclusion is: the whole cycle is about change and movement. Max and Elizabeth, for both of you this is a time in which you may have less opportunity – and even less desire - to pay a lot of attention to each other. You would do well accepting that from the beginning so neither of you will feel left out and ignored. You are both going to have your hands full and need to apply yourself to your own needs and desires. For Elizabeth, the keyword is discipline. Try to stay focused but be flexible at the same time. For Max, the keyword is drive. Take advantage of your energy and do your best to reach your goals. It sounds like a contradiction, but if you both apply yourself to your own needs, you will be doing each other a favor and the chances of disrupting your relationship will be smaller. Rest assured; you will be spending lots of time together next cycle, when the two and the six rule. Elizabeth, your Personal Month for December 2016 is 6 Elizabeth, December is a 6 Personal Month in a 3 Personal Year. The month stabilizes your work-environment, but requires that you work on your relationships and family affairs. You will be in the unique position to counsel and support someone in your circle of friends and family with immediate and positive result. It will be one of the most rewarding experiences of this year for you. A promotion or a raise are possible, as is an increase in your workload. This month is good for business and financial affairs, particularly for long-term planning and investment. If you are involved in legal affairs, the time is right to surge ahead. Page 28

Romance is also favorable. Commitments bring stability. For those who have become involved in a relationship during the course of this year, this is a good month to exchange vows. This should be a wonderful time for most of those who are in the last stage of this 3 Personal Year. The holidays bring family and friends together, for much love and the rewards of the season. Max, your Personal Month for December 2016 is 2 Max, December is a 2 Personal Month in an 8 Personal Year and shifts the focus to relationships and all affairs of the heart. Co-workers are demanding, not only in work-related matters, but also in personal areas. You may catch some flack, or become involved in conflicts that don't appear to have anything to do with you. All your tact and diplomacy are needed to maintain harmony in the work place. However, you are better equipped to deal with sensitive affairs than usual and you manage to diffuse most of these potentially explosive affairs. Pretty much the same experiences await you regarding relationships with relatives and friends, but here too, you are able to keep the peace. Max, your intuition and sensitivity are your strongest assets during this month. There is, however, also a need to stand up for yourself. Someone is about to claim credit which rightly belongs to you. Again, diplomacy and tact are required to solve this problem. This is also a good month for negotiation and financial affairs, particularly concerning loans and mortgages. Romance can be powerful, but may cause problems when money is involved. Your Personal Month's compatibility for December 2016 is 6 and 2 No two cycles are so completely involved with the heart as the 2 and the 6. Max and Elizabeth, this is a combination of cycles that has only two possible outcomes. Simply put it is either very good or very bad. There is not much room in the middle. You will almost certainly experience some major disagreements. It is in how you handle them that makes all the difference. And it is the strength of your love, and the depth of your feelings, that influence the way you respond. Therefore, you can see this combination of cycles, Max and Elizabeth, as a kind of spiritual and emotional. It is important to realize that the test takes place on the level of the heart and anything that seems to be the cause of a disagreement has only a superficial meaning. In fact, the reasons are not important at all. Anything will do. Perhaps one of you wants to move, the other wants to stay. Or one wants to take an older relative into the house, the other doesn’t. One wants children, the other doesn’t. The reason is never the cause. Remember this: The key ingredients needed to prevent your relationship from breaking down are loyalty, commitment, and honesty. Elizabeth, your Personal Month for January 2017 is 5 Elizabeth, January is a 5 Personal Month in a 4 Personal Year. You experience some self-doubt related to your work situation. You may question your direction. This frustration will be in the background for most of the year, but this month particularly feels a Page 29

little bit out of control. However, hidden forces are guiding you carefully and your best approach is to persevere. Later this month, or early next month, an opportunity will come your way that represents a step forward in your career. This month also brings some unexpected changes in other areas of your life; possibly an unexpected trip. Be cautious in all financial affairs. Elizabeth, your family members demand a lot of attention and much practical guidance is required from you. They look to you for direction. Social events are favorable, particularly when they are work-related. You will make a very positive impression on someone who can help you move forward. If married or involved, maintain harmony and avoid rocking the boat. Max, your Personal Month for January 2017 is 1 Max, January is a 1 Personal Month in a 9 Personal Year. It brings progress as well as some turmoil. Your career offers opportunities that should be taken advantage of, but you may also be wondering if you want to continue on the path you have chosen. A change of course may be taking shape. You may want to focus more on the ideas you had at the beginning of your professional life. Even if you do not have a career, a return to the idealistic views you had at an earlier time cannot be avoided now. A similar desire for purity and idealism influences your relationships with friends and relatives. You find yourself confronting some of the people close to you. You may decide that some of your relationships are no longer desirable. You experience emotional ups and downs, caused by a need for confirmation of your love on one hand, and a tendency to be critical and judgmental on the other. You are aggressive and emotional at times. This combination may shake the foundations of many of your relationships. Undoubtedly, some of these foundations may crack, but others will prove to be strong and remain undamaged. Financially, this is a time to be extremely careful. Your Personal Month's compatibility for January 2017 is 5 and 1 This is a highly compatible combination, Max and Elizabeth. Max is at the brink of a new direction where signs of opportunity and progress are very clear. Elizabeth also faces a dynamic time, but a period in which little goes according to plan. If you had to draw a schematic of these cycles, the one cycle as found in Max’s chart would probably show a straight line throughout the period, perhaps a few bends and curves, but all clearly going in one direction. As in Elizabeth’s schematic, the five cycle would be represented by nothing but curves and bends alongside very few straight lines. So, the conclusion is: the whole cycle is about change and movement. Max and Elizabeth, for both of you this is a time in which you may have less opportunity – and even less desire - to pay a lot of attention to each other. You would do well accepting that from the beginning so neither of you will feel left out and ignored. You are both going to have your hands full and need to apply yourself to your own needs and desires. For Elizabeth, the keyword is discipline. Try to stay focused but be flexible at the same time. For Max, the keyword is drive. Take advantage of your energy and do your best to reach your goals. It sounds like a contradiction, but if you both apply yourself to your own needs, you will be doing each other a favor and the chances of disrupting your relationship will be smaller. Rest Page 30

assured; you will be spending lots of time together next cycle, when the two and the six rule. Elizabeth, your Personal Month for February 2017 is 6 Elizabeth, February is a 6 Personal Month in a 4 Personal Year. It brings an increase in responsibility and workload. You receive recognition for your efforts and abilities, and probably a financial increase, as well. Perhaps even more important is the role friends and family play during the period. Loyalty and a willingness to sacrifice time and energy to your loved ones are needed. You, in turn, receive comfort and satisfaction from their obvious love for you. It is a time of love, warmth, and a strengthening of the bonds that form the foundation of your life. It is also a good time to start domestic projects, such as minor remodeling and home repair. If you are not married and are not involved in a relationship, you may meet someone who catches your interest. In this case, the relationship will develop slowly but will endure. Elizabeth, your focus should be on being dependable and active. There is no room for procrastination. Your health improves during this time. Max, your Personal Month for February 2017 is 2 Max, February is a 2 Personal Month in a 9 Personal Year. It awakens you to many of the underlying factors that influence your career and personal life. You are highly intuitive; you experience strange and vivid dreams; and you gain insights that border on psychic premonitions. At the same time, you continue to be vulnerable in the emotional area. Any kind of criticism can devastate you. You should avoid confrontations. You are in a position where you can gain considerable understanding of the motivations and desires that influence you, as well as others. This is an important and valuable time, because you are learning much about the true nature of human beings, including yourself. The challenge here is to see yourself and others in a spiritual light, with love and forgiveness. Some people who go through this particular cycle experience bitterness and anger. For others, this cycle brings faith and gratitude. For everyone, the impressions are lasting. Romance is powerful; you see and hear and feel more fully than usual, which brings an added intensity to the experience of love. Your Personal Month's compatibility for February 2017 is 6 and 2 No two cycles are so completely involved with the heart as the 2 and the 6. Max and Elizabeth, this is a combination of cycles that has only two possible outcomes. Simply put it is either very good or very bad. There is not much room in the middle. You will almost certainly experience some major disagreements. It is in how you handle them that makes all the difference. And it is the strength of your love, and the depth of your feelings, that influence the way you respond. Therefore, you can see this combination of cycles, Max and Elizabeth, as a kind of spiritual and emotional. It is important to realize that the test takes place on the level of the heart and anything that seems to be the cause of a disagreement has only a superficial meaning. In fact, the reasons are not important at all. Anything will do. Perhaps one of you wants to move, the other wants to stay. Or one wants to take an older relative into the house, the other Page 31

doesn’t. One wants children, the other doesn’t. The reason is never the cause. Remember this: The key ingredients needed to prevent your relationship from breaking down are loyalty, commitment, and honesty. Elizabeth, your Personal Month for March 2017 is 7 Elizabeth, March is a 7 Personal Month in a 4 Personal Year and should bring some significant changes in your outlook. Indeed, the month is filled with the mystery of life. You are aware that you are developing spiritually. This is not a good time to deny important issues in your life, or be superficial about significant matters. Your dreams are vivid and if you take some time immediately after awakening to contemplate their meaning, you have the potential to gain some insights that uplifts you and raises your confidence in your life's direction. You are mentally sharp and creative. You solve problems and gain insight into things that have floated in the background of your consciousness for some time. It is a period of hard work -- possibly overtime -- juxtaposed with much soul-searching and the need for quiet contemplation. You may be offered an opportunity to become involved in a new endeavor. Be careful with anything that promises a fast return. This year, long-term projects are far more favorable than get-rich-quick-schemes, or short-term gambles. Your need for peace and quiet during this month may make your friends and family members wonder whether you have some problem that you are not willing to share. Max, your Personal Month for March 2017 is 3 Max, March is a 3 Personal Month in a 9 Personal Year. It lightens things considerably. You are not nearly as vulnerable as last month. You are more playful. You express yourself easily and you manage to inspire and motivate others. You receive some positive information about your career and your financial status. Meanwhile, you are considering some big changes in these areas of your life. You may want to keep your thoughts to yourself, or share them only with one or two of your most trusted confidants. You are not ready to make decisions or take steps that are irreversible, but that time will come soon. This is an exciting time, when everything seems more intense, more alive. You are more creative and communicative. Max, you should take the time to enjoy yourself. Go on a vacation. Visit friends. Be social. Give yourself a break. Romance is favorable, but you have to guard against irresponsible and superficial behavior. Your Personal Month's compatibility for March 2017 is 7 and 3 Two very different and completely opposite cycles are affecting your lives right now, Max and Elizabeth. For Max, everything lightens up like a sunny day after a period of overcast skies, while for Elizabeth this is a more serious time, a time of self-awareness and self-discovery. Your moods are different and you may find it hard to communicate clearly. Max may become frustrated with Elizabeth and vice versa. Max is in a light-hearted, optimistic cycle while Elizabeth is serious and perhaps even moody and pessimistic. Page 32

This difference can be offset by paying attention to each other’s needs, in particular on the physical plane. Express your love for each other, as much as you can, in the most basic forms known to man; reach out and be there for each other. It is also important for Max to understand that the quiet, withdrawn mood that seems to dominate Elizabeth is only temporary and represents a kind of healing. The soul is asking for attention and Elizabeth is just responding. Sometimes, this combination of cycles causes a breakdown in a relationship. If you feel that you are approaching the danger zone within your relationship, Max and Elizabeth, you will be able to overcome this by sharing your feelings as honestly as possible. And remember, you are both, but Elizabeth in particular, strongly affected by this cycle. Remember also, that cycles, by their very nature, are only temporary. Patience and tolerance are the keywords to get through this challenging period. Elizabeth, your Personal Month for April 2017 is 8 Elizabeth, April is an 8 Personal Month in a 4 Personal Year. It promises to be rewarding financially as well as in other areas of life. There is a catch: It is essential to take care of details, to be reliable, and to keep things organized. If you allow yourself to get sloppy in any of these areas, the results could be disastrous. Still, the combination of numbers (8 and 4) gives you ample support in all efforts at organization and management. Respect, recognition, financial reward come to those who are careful. Financial problems and struggle (some may even experience bankruptcy) come to those who are careless. The more you stay clear and focused, the higher the rewards will be. Relationships that are not related to work are not a high priority this month. Elizabeth, your attention should be given towards career and finances, as well as to people who play important roles in those areas of your life. The advice for this month is to get up early, put your nose to the grindstone, be organized, and don't hesitate to move yourself to the foreground in your work-environment. If you are due for a raise, ask for it. If a business associate is not fulfilling his/her duties, confront that person. If a payment is due, call it in. Max, your Personal Month for April 2017 is 4 Max, April is a 4 Personal Month in a 9 Personal Year. It requires hard work, an eye for details, and dependability. Your career is a top priority and requires much of your attention. This is a difficult month with frustrations and a sense of urgency. Perseverance is the key. There is another feeling that starts moving to the foreground. You feel a little tired, ready to surrender. Your energy level is lower than usual and this makes it harder to keep up with your duties and responsibilities. However, this is not a good time to slow down. It is a time that can bring opportunity and an unexpected insight into a new direction in life. You are at a point in your life when you feel that you have been stagnant. Change is needed. This month will bring some practical insight and ideas as to how this change can be accomplished. This is a good time for business ventures and investment. It's also a good time to work on the house and garden. Romance is understated, but emotional stability is hard to maintain. Don't make many any big changes or decisions in the emotional realm for now. Page 33

Your Personal Month's compatibility for April 2017 is 8 and 4 Max and Elizabeth, this combination of cycles can be either very good or very bad. It provides no middle ground. Metaphorically speaking, Max feels like someone who has to struggle through mud wearing heavy boots -- there is progress, but excruciatingly slow, and every step requires considerable effort. Elizabeth, on the other hand, feels like everything is within arm’s reach. All that is needed to achieve a goal and get a reward is simply to reach out and grab it. Together, these cycles either pull the best out of each other or enhance each other’s negative influences. Elizabeth’s optimism and can-do attitude during this time can be for Max like a red flag for a bull, while Max’s frustration and total focus on matters at hand can work like a cold shower on Elizabeth’s dynamic energy and optimism. Or Max’s efforts and dedication can be an inspiring influence to Elizabeth, while Elizabeth’s upbeat energy will certainly uplift Max, alleviating much of Max’s frustration and anxiety. To top it off, you will both be able to clearly recognize the effect you have on each other during this time. As a result, you will either feel love, gratitude, and appreciation for your partner, or anger and blame, depending on how you respond to each other’s needs. The key to getting the best out of this combination of cycles is to be aware of your partner’s needs and state of mind, and not to get caught up in your own world to the extent that you don’t know what is going on with the person you have chosen to be with. Elizabeth, your Personal Month for May 2017 is 9 Elizabeth, May is a 9 Personal Month in a 4 Personal Year and may introduce some emotional turmoil due to a relationship gone awry. A friend or co-worker has let you down. Your trust has been damaged and you realize that this is not just a temporary disappointment but the conclusion of the relationship. While you have reason to be angry, you should avoid self-righteousness. You may want to remember that you are not without fault. This allows the anger and disappointment to turn into understanding and forgiveness, even if the situation can not be saved. As a way of healing this type of wound, life may offer you the opportunity to become involved in a good cause. Sacrificing some of your time and energy will prove very rewarding and will deliver some benefits that are not immediately obvious. This month, your health requires some special attention, particularly your digestive tract. Watch what you eat. Avoid excesses. It is possible that your career is heading for a change of direction, which may be of some concern for you. Look to next month for some insight into that aspect of your life. Max, your Personal Month for May 2017 is 5 Max, May is a 5 Personal Month in a 9 Personal Year and brings many changes and ideas that start you in a different direction. You are restless and impatient. Your energy is scattered but you are ready to make a Page 34

big step forward. A move of residence or a travel will bring inspiration. You are at an important stage in your life where you feel a bit in limbo, but you also know that a change for the better is imminent. You feel excited and confused at the same time. You do not really understand what is going on, and the motivations that have guided you for many years now seem outdated. You question your underlying values and desires. You feel a loss of direction. Your best approach is to wait things out. Do not start any new endeavors unless you are very sure you will follow through on them. Social events are highly favorable. Max, you need to be around people. You need to be loose and enjoy yourself. As I mentioned earlier, you are going through enormous changes this year and next year, and for that reason, interaction with others is therapeutic. It helps you deal with the turbulence that takes place inside. Your Personal Month's compatibility for May 2017 is 9 and 5 Max and Elizabeth, this combination of cycles can be quite challenging. Almost certainly, this is a bit of a trying time for Elizabeth, who feels somewhat at a loss as to where to go next, what the future holds, and so forth. There are few answers for many of the doubts and questions. The current cycle for Elizabeth feels like the end of a long, long day, when one is worn out, energy is low and one is emotionally charged and insecure. Don’t worry too much, Elizabeth, the next cycle will bring in a whole different energy, much more uplifting, inspiring, and powerful. On Max’s side, it will be a period of more energy and less patience than usual. And patience is exactly what Elizabeth needs. Therefore, the most important ingredient necessary to make this period as good as it can be, is for Max to muster up as much patience as possible and use it to comfort and support Elizabeth. And, if things get a bit difficult during this time, Max and Elizabeth, keep in mind that you are under the powerful influence of cycles that are not very compatible. And cycles are, by nature, only temporary. Elizabeth, your Personal Month for June 2017 is 1 Elizabeth, June is a 1 Personal Month in a 4 Personal Year. It gives you a new start in some area of your life, perhaps career, or a some new project or endeavor. This is a month of promise and opportunity. Your energy-level increases, as does your excitement for your new direction. This period requires courage and flexibility. You should also be more verbal: Express your thoughts and feelings; inspire and motivate others to follow your lead. You may have a difficult time relaxing or enjoying yourself outside working hours. But it's important that you do just that. An attraction to someone at work may signal danger to you. Even if you are committed, this attraction will prove quite powerful. Be careful. It may damage your future in many ways, not least of which is your career. Consider postponing any action in this area. Max, your Personal Month for June 2017 is 6 Max, June is a 6 Personal Month in a 9 Personal Year and brings stability, strength, and understanding of yourself and the many roles you play in this life. Some relationships may Page 35

undergo a test this month. This whole year is a time of letting go of certain people, behaviors, and roles that you have outgrown. June is particularly important in sorting out your feelings for others. Relatives and friends seek your company, but you may respond with aloofness and indifference. An important challenge this month is to be honest and open in your relationships. You may tend to bottle-up your feelings. This is a good time for career and finances, even if you feel a lack of interest for these matters. Romantic relationships are particularly fragile right now. However, if your love-relationship survives this period, you know that it is based on true substance. It will be stronger and lasting. Your Personal Month's compatibility for June 2017 is 1 and 6 Your commitment to each other will be tested during this time, when outside influences may be affecting you in a negative way. You will need to trust and to rely on each other. It is quite likely that jealousy will rear its ugly head and it is good to understand right away that blame is not the answer. Turmoil will be around and the relationship will lack stability. This is one of the most difficult and challenging combinations, and it is important to remember that your greatest strength is found in your faith in each other. While going through stages of doubt and insecurity, Max may, at the same time, be the target of too much attention by someone else. In the meantime, Elizabeth will tend to be very focused on goals and career, and may be somewhat oblivious to the signals that would otherwise warn Elizabeth to start paying attention to Max. For both of you, the answer lies in a conscious effort to be as much a part in your partner’s life as possible, even if that proves to be somewhat inconvenient. There is also a strong possibility of a birth in the family. This combination of cycles often represents the birth of a child. If that is the case, everything changes and the relationship becomes much stronger. Elizabeth, your Personal Month for July 2017 is 2 Elizabeth, July is a 2 Personal Month in a 4 Personal Year. At this time, your relationship with the people in your work or business environment is extremely important. You will need to be sensitive to their needs and desires and you will probably be called upon to play the role of mediator in a conflict between some of these people. Your success in that role will directly affect your future. You may be disturbed by these new challenges because they emerge at a time when your workload is considerable. However, you are more sensitive and better able to discern the true basis of the conflict this month. Elizabeth, your enhanced sensitivity also helps you in other areas of your life. Romance is strongly represented but should be kept out of the work environment, which may not be an easy thing to do. You may have the opportunity to go to a concert or some other musical event and because of your enhanced sensitivity, such events will prove very therapeutic. Pamper yourself in healthful ways, such as massage, a new exercise and dietary regime, or some time near the ocean, in the mountains, in the forest. Max, your Personal Month for July 2017 is 7 Page 36

Max, July is a 7 Personal Month in a 9 Personal Year. It represents a time of insight and awareness. You start to realize the magnitude of the deep inner changes that are taking place and this fills you with a combination of fear and excitement. You know that the time has come to face up to important decisions that will affect your life, as well as the lives of those close to you for a long time to come. Your fear is based on your indecision and inability to know if what you want to do is right. Your excitement comes from the knowledge that at least something is happening. In this situation, the key is to choose what feels right. Rely on your heart and your intuition, and have faith in yourself and your Creator. Max, your career and finances are not priorities, except when they relate to plans you may have for the future. This is a time to prepare for the long-term, not to reach for immediate rewards. Your Personal Month's compatibility for July 2017 is 2 and 7 Elizabeth, this is not a time to pay too much attention or attach much value to your emotional ups and downs. This is a time for you to swallow your pride, ignore any possible hurts, and to focus on what you want. During this time, you may occasionally feel that Max is a bit distant and seems to live in a world that doesn’t include you. In a way, this is true. Max is going through a time of self-reflection, a time of spiritual wondering. For Max, this is a time when life itself demands a lot of attention. Elizabeth, your best response is to focus on your own life. Quite different from Max, who is consciously or sub-consciously, involved on a deep level with the mystery of life and all its manifestations, Elizabeth should be focused on the practical side of living; career, the home, finances, and so forth. If you both feel that each of you is more involved in yourself than in each other, take heart in the fact that this is not per se a bad thing. You play different roles right now and should allow each other the space and freedom to do that. Elizabeth and Max, it is only when you try to force your partner to move into your world, that the relationship might get damaged. Otherwise, the relationship is actually quite safe since neither one of you has any desire to rock the boat. Elizabeth, your Personal Month for August 2017 is 3 Elizabeth, August is a 3 Personal Month in a 4 Personal Year and is a good time for some relaxation. You will find your workload a little less demanding and may want to take some time off. You are upbeat and optimistic and able to inspire and uplift others. Do not take matters so seriously this month. It's a time of enhanced creativity and practical application. You are original in your approach to problem-solving. You receive inspiring ideas and are able to turn some of them into reality. You impress others with your deep understanding of the issues. This month also brings spiritual realizations and insights. You are more aware of the underlying forces that are at play in your life and in the world around you. The challenge of this month is in overcoming a fear. Elizabeth, you may find yourself confronting some injustice. It may be necessary to meet that injustice alone. Stand up for yourself! Page 37

Be wise, but do not seek to avoid the issues. Max, your Personal Month for August 2017 is 8 Max, August is an 8 Personal Month in a 9 Personal Year. It brings financial matters to the foreground. Take a close look at your financial situation and adjust your lifestyle accordingly. Pay off debts. Tie up loose ends. Clean up this area of your life. Often, an 8 Personal Month, 9 Personal Year brings a stroke of luck; a payment from a forgotten source, or an inheritance. Use any extra income you might have to pay off your debts. You are facing a future that requires some risk taking, or investment. Perhaps you have been thinking about a complete career change, or starting your own business. Either way, you need to get a clean slate before the end of the year. You also receive recognition and compliments for effort put out in the past, which may result in a promotion. Romance is in better shape than the last two months. If you are committed to someone and have experienced some troubles in the relationship, you will find stability and comfort this month. If you are single, you may meet someone through work or business. Your Personal Month's compatibility for August 2017 is 3 and 8 Creativity, optimism, and inspiration are the main ingredients in Elizabeth’s cycle. Ambition, goals, and financial rewards are the components ruling Max’s cycle. Although very different, these cycles are nonetheless compatible. They complement and inspire each other. Elizabeth and Max, this is not only a good combination of cycles as it relates to your relationship, but also on a more practical level. You will be able to take care of long postponed projects, overcome some financial difficulties you have had, make repairs to the house, and so forth. This is one of the best combinations to be shared by two people involved in a relationship. You relate easily, communicate well, and support each other’s endeavors. There is, however, an area where there might be some discordance. Elizabeth is inspired and active, but not focused on goals so much as on the activities themselves, while Max is completely focused on the bottom line. As a result, Max may feel Elizabeth is irresponsible. Elizabeth, on the other hand, may feel that Max is all work and no play. Compromising and understanding that each cycle has its own opportunities will help you get the most out of this period. Elizabeth, your Personal Month for September 2017 is 4 Elizabeth, September is a 4 Personal Month in a 4 Personal Year. Six months or a year from now, you will look back at this month and realize that in some way it represented a turning point on your path to success. However, you may feel frustrated during this month and wonder why everything is moving so slow. In a way, it seems that life has you in a straight-jacket, but in fact you are being protected from yourself. The emphasize is on the irritating and seemingly unnecessarily details. You are forced to deal with things you consider a waste of time. These loose ends can no longer be ignored, but you feel frustrated by the limitations of Page 38

time and the massive amount of work. The situation is, in fact, two-sided: One side is effort, the other reward. You are being prepared to take full advantage of a string of opportunities that will begin next month, and will continue all next year. The challenge for you is to keep up. For that reason, you must finish the work in front of you now, to make room for the opportunities to come. Meanwhile, guard your health, especially against the effects of stress and frustration. Elizabeth, you would do well to eat healthy foods and in a regular and orderly fashion. Go to bed early; read to widen your view and escape. Do not dwell on the negative. Leave affairs of the heart to themselves for a while, until this intense period passes. Late this month, you will start to see the light at the end of the tunnel, but looking back you will be grateful and relieved that you took on this process of re-organizing the basics in both, your work and your personal life. Max, your Personal Month for September 2017 is 9 Max, September is a 9 Personal Month in a 9 Personal Year. Now your desire for change reaches a climax. You are taking steps to implement changes you have been considering for some time. Nothing is stable right now, but that should not worry you. You are making progress in hidden ways. You feel insecure about the future but you rightly know that these changes have to be made. There is a lot of adjusting that has to be done, not only for you, but also for the people close to you. More than at any other time this year, you let go of the old and prepare for the new. This takes place in every area of your life; spiritual, emotional, and material. However, this is not a month to make impulsive decisions and starting anything new should be postponed until very late this month or next month. A disappointment in romance is possible but will clear the air for future engagements. Your Personal Month's compatibility for September 2017 is 4 and 9 Elizabeth and Max, the influences and compatibility of this month's cycle are already incorporated in the compatibility as described in the section of this year's Personal Year cycle. An analysis of this month's compatibility is therefore redundant. You may, however, want to take another look at the description of the compatibility of this year's Personal Year cycle, keeping in mind that the compatibility for this month will reflect the same influences. Elizabeth, your Personal Month for October 2017 is 5 Elizabeth, October is a 5 Personal Month in a 4 Personal Year. It brings opportunity and change. You may be asked to go on a trip related to work or business. This trip is unexpected but will bring very positive results. Another possibility is that you are offered a transfer and promotion. Either way, there will be changes in your environment. Now is the time to take some chances, to promote your self unabashed, and to reach out to other possible sources of income. If you are in sales or business, this is one of the most promising times of your life. If your work is more service-oriented, you may receive a long-awaited promotion. Friends and family members are supportive. Romance is exciting. This is a dynamic month in all respects and will wipe away the frustrations of last month. However, a Page 39

warning is in place: You may have a tendency to make impulsive decisions, to be a little irresponsible, and to put your foot in your mouth. This hectic and dynamic month brings with it some chaos, and restraint is needed in order to maintain some control over the events. Max, your Personal Month for October 2017 is 1 Max, October is a 1 Personal Month in a 9 Personal Year. It is a month of new beginnings, new people, and renewed energy. While most of this year feels like the end of a long day of hard work, with low energy and a desire to put your feet up, October feels like you just had cup of coffee. You are ready to get started, to roll up your sleeves and tackle whatever project is in front of you. This is a time to aggressively pursue the plans you have made in the past. It is a time to act, not to dream or question. Take a chance. Show courage. This is also a time that requires independence and self-confidence. Don't let the cautious words of others slow you down. There is some danger connected to financial wheeling and dealings. Be very careful who you trust with your money. Friendships are renewed. You may also meet someone you haven't heard from in some time and this person will play a role in your plans for the future. Romance is favored, particularly if you are single. Max, you may meet someone who becomes a permanent fixture in your life. Your Personal Month's compatibility for October 2017 is 5 and 1 This is a highly compatible combination, Max and Elizabeth. Max is at the brink of a new direction where signs of opportunity and progress are very clear. Elizabeth also faces a dynamic time, but a period in which little goes according to plan. If you had to draw a schematic of these cycles, the one cycle as found in Max’s chart would probably show a straight line throughout the period, perhaps a few bends and curves, but all clearly going in one direction. As in Elizabeth’s schematic, the five cycle would be represented by nothing but curves and bends alongside very few straight lines. So, the conclusion is: the whole cycle is about change and movement. Max and Elizabeth, for both of you this is a time in which you may have less opportunity – and even less desire - to pay a lot of attention to each other. You would do well accepting that from the beginning so neither of you will feel left out and ignored. You are both going to have your hands full and need to apply yourself to your own needs and desires. For Elizabeth, the keyword is discipline. Try to stay focused but be flexible at the same time. For Max, the keyword is drive. Take advantage of your energy and do your best to reach your goals. It sounds like a contradiction, but if you both apply yourself to your own needs, you will be doing each other a favor and the chances of disrupting your relationship will be smaller. Rest assured; you will be spending lots of time together next cycle, when the two and the six rule. Elizabeth, your Personal Month for November 2017 is 6 Elizabeth, November is a 6 Personal Month in a 4 Personal Year. It offers the chance to strengthen your foundation in life. You pay close attention to the needs of your family and Page 40

circle of friends. You are serious and responsible in all matters related to career and receive recognition and respect for that. Financially, this could be a good month with an unexpected reward coming sometime during the last week. In many ways, this month brings blessings and can be very satisfying. Your workload is considerable but doesn't burden you as much as it did during other times of this year. You have the energy and feel confident that you are now moving in the right direction. Feelings of insecurity and frustration that loomed so prominently during most of this year are disappearing. Elizabeth, your friends and family members display strong signs of loyalty and feelings are expressed more freely. One or more of your friends or relatives needs a boost and comes to you for help. You are happy with the opportunity to help out in a practical way as well as with moral support. You play the role of (m)patriarch. The only troubling experience during this month will be the need to deal diplomatically and tactfully with a long-standing problem, perhaps with someone at work. A basic personality conflict has been the cause of friction between you and a co-worker, and this can no longer be ignored. Tension will come to a head but there is an opportunity to turn a difficult relationship into one of tolerance and mutual respect. Max, your Personal Month for November 2017 is 2 Max, November is a 2 Personal Month in a 9 Personal Year. You may find yourself wondering what happened to last month's energy. You feel a little burned out and you are not sure about the direction your life has been taking in the past several months. You may question whether you are trying to change too much of your life. You are moodier than usual and don't seem to be able to get things started. You are extremely sensitive and take the opinions of others more serious than usual. This is a time to take things slowly, to spend time in self-reflection and contemplation, to find strength and stability in yourself instead of in the circumstances around you. Your relationship to the people close to you improves and a lot of healing takes place there. Romance also is highly favorable, particularly if you do not try to make the impression that you are stronger than you really are. You are more susceptible to illness and would do well to refrain from alcohol or anything else that weakens your system. Your Personal Month's compatibility for November 2017 is 6 and 2 No two cycles are so completely involved with the heart as the 2 and the 6. Max and Elizabeth, this is a combination of cycles that has only two possible outcomes. Simply put it is either very good or very bad. There is not much room in the middle. You will almost certainly experience some major disagreements. It is in how you handle them that makes all the difference. And it is the strength of your love, and the depth of your feelings, that influence the way you respond. Therefore, you can see this combination of cycles, Max and Elizabeth, as a kind of spiritual and emotional. It is important to realize that the test takes place on the level of the heart and anything that seems to be the cause of a disagreement has only a superficial meaning. In fact, the Page 41

reasons are not important at all. Anything will do. Perhaps one of you wants to move, the other wants to stay. Or one wants to take an older relative into the house, the other doesn’t. One wants children, the other doesn’t. The reason is never the cause. Remember this: The key ingredients needed to prevent your relationship from breaking down are loyalty, commitment, and honesty. Elizabeth, your Personal Month for December 2017 is 7 Elizabeth, December is a 7 Personal Month in a 4 Personal Year. It's a fitting end for this year. You now enter a period of introspection, contemplation, and meditation, similar to that experience in March. December focuses you on inner-growth and soul-searching. However, that is where the similarities end. December is a much more comfortable time for such an inward-journey and expansion of your consciousness. There will be plenty of opportunity to withdraw, to seek the quiet. Whether you enjoy this time depends on whether you value such an experience. This has been a year of hard work and, at times, frustration, but the work will pay off. You are now more aware of that, and even that the year was well-spent. Understanding the value of day-dreaming and contemplation is more difficult as a result of this society's emphasize on action and result. However, the quiet, "un-productive" times of this month will be at least as rewarding, spiritually as well as practically. It allows for deep inner-contentment and a fuller awareness of the love and goodwill of others. Only the 4 Personal Year closes with such a beautiful and fitting counter-balance to a difficult and busy year. Max, your Personal Month for December 2017 is 3 Max, December is a 3 Personal Month in a 9 Personal Year. It's time to lighten up. Be playful, enjoy yourself. Don't take things too serious. It is time to recharge your batteries. There will be ample opportunity for social events and you should take advantage of that. Your creativity is enhanced, and so is your sense of humor. This is not a time to force any issues. Let things happen at their own pace. You are approaching a time of more energy, more opportunities, and progress, but before that happens, take this month to rest and relax. Max, you are entering a 1 Personal Year which brings much progress and a new beginning. This 9 Personal Year has been a year of letting go, next year is a time of renewal, almost rebirth. Your Personal Month's compatibility for December 2017 is 7 and 3 Two very different and completely opposite cycles are affecting your lives right now, Max and Elizabeth. For Max, everything lightens up like a sunny day after a period of overcast skies, while for Elizabeth this is a more serious time, a time of self-awareness and self-discovery. Your moods are different and you may find it hard to communicate clearly. Max may become frustrated with Elizabeth and vice versa. Max is in a light-hearted, optimistic cycle while Elizabeth is serious and perhaps even moody and pessimistic. This difference can be offset by paying attention to each other’s needs, in particular on the Page 42

physical plane. Express your love for each other, as much as you can, in the most basic forms known to man; reach out and be there for each other. It is also important for Max to understand that the quiet, withdrawn mood that seems to dominate Elizabeth is only temporary and represents a kind of healing. The soul is asking for attention and Elizabeth is just responding. Sometimes, this combination of cycles causes a breakdown in a relationship. If you feel that you are approaching the danger zone within your relationship, Max and Elizabeth, you will be able to overcome this by sharing your feelings as honestly as possible. And remember, you are both, but Elizabeth in particular, strongly affected by this cycle. Remember also, that cycles, by their very nature, are only temporary. Patience and tolerance are the keywords to get through this challenging period. Elizabeth, your Personal Month for January 2018 is 6 Elizabeth, January is a 6 Personal Month in a 5 Personal Year. All during this month the focus is on your attitude towards friends, co-workers, and family members. You are in a position to improve relationships in all areas. You are warm-hearted and more outgoing than usual. Others are attracted to your optimistic disposition and several people close to you will come to you for advice and comfort. The month may bring a turbulent new relationship into your life. The initial introduction may start off a little awkward, even cause some friction. You will need to be tolerant and understanding. Even if you feel sure that your point of view is correct, a hardheaded, stubborn approach is not beneficial. On the contrary, the true purpose of this conflict is an opportunity for you to reach out and earn the appreciation and respect of this person by freely demonstrating your own. Other, more practical changes are also in the picture. Many will make changes in their office, residence, or work routine. Elizabeth, you may get some strong signals that your career may receive a boost in the very near future, which only buoys your optimism. If you are single, this is an excellent month to be social and meet new people. Max, your Personal Month for January 2018 is 2 Max, January is a 2 Personal Month in a 1 Personal Year. This is not a month to make important choices or decisions without a lot of careful consideration. Begin this process by taking a critical look at your current state of mind. This is a month of some confusion and self-doubt. More mercurial than usual, you will likely switch from optimism to pessimism, and back again. This is to be expected when you are right in the middle of a major personality overhaul. January is your first month of a new long-term cycle. Many of the changes you are going through require approximately two years; you have now begun the second of those years. Max, your transformation can be compared to a low-level reformat of your inner hard-disk. When the job is done, much of the information is replaced, gaps are closed, and the bugs are ironed out. You can look forward to a time of greater self-confidence, more energy, and a refreshed and more positive outlook on life. A 1 Personal Year, 2 Personal Month is highly charged in the areas of romance and friendships. You may well meet someone who will touch your heart deeply. Page 43

Friendships intensify and can be very comforting and healing. You will likely find yourself being helpful to others, particularly as a counselor or adviser. The energies implicit in the month give you greater sensitivity to feelings -- yours, as well as those of others. You will be tactful and capable of creating harmony where there was turmoil. At times, you may be overly sensitive, and may not handle criticism well. The month starts slowly and with some difficulties. However, once you've passed the mid-point, you increasingly gain confidence, direction, and momentum toward your goals. Your Personal Month's compatibility for January 2018 is 6 and 2 No two cycles are so completely involved with the heart as the 2 and the 6. Max and Elizabeth, this is a combination of cycles that has only two possible outcomes. Simply put it is either very good or very bad. There is not much room in the middle. You will almost certainly experience some major disagreements. It is in how you handle them that makes all the difference. And it is the strength of your love, and the depth of your feelings, that influence the way you respond. Therefore, you can see this combination of cycles, Max and Elizabeth, as a kind of spiritual and emotional. It is important to realize that the test takes place on the level of the heart and anything that seems to be the cause of a disagreement has only a superficial meaning. In fact, the reasons are not important at all. Anything will do. Perhaps one of you wants to move, the other wants to stay. Or one wants to take an older relative into the house, the other doesn’t. One wants children, the other doesn’t. The reason is never the cause. Remember this: The key ingredients needed to prevent your relationship from breaking down are loyalty, commitment, and honesty. Elizabeth, your Personal Month for February 2018 is 7 Elizabeth, February is a 7 Personal Month in a 5 Personal Year and finds you more inwardly focused. Self-reflection and contemplation bring spiritual clarity and growth. At the same time, your career improves and you manage to impress important people. Doors that have been closed open and offer access to opportunities. Financially, this month may also show some progress but the emphasize is more on opportunities and your ability to take advantage of them. Warnings are justified in two areas. Your dynamism and excitement may cause you to be somewhat insensitive at times. Also, you would rather plan and discuss future endeavors than to put forth the effort required to take full advantage of current opportunities. Key-words to make this month a success are caution and discipline. If you are married or otherwise committed, you may feel a little distant from your partner. This is temporary and does not require any special attention. If you are single, romance is not a high priority. Minor health problems that have not been treated may come to the foreground. This is a good month to apply discipline to your eating habits and to step-up your exercise regimen. Max, your Personal Month for February 2018 is 3 Page 44

Max, February is a 3 Personal Month in a 1 Personal Year. It brings objective reasons for optimism. Now there is a sense of promise in the year. You see your direction a little clearer. There is a sense of beginning. This causes you to lighten up and become more social, especially during the latter part of the month. People are attracted to your upbeat attitude. You attract support from unexpected sources. A new project ignites your excitement, energy, and motivation, all of which you are able to communicate to others. The real work does not start until next month, and for that reason, this month offers some time for planning, as well as leisure and rest. You are quick-witted and your sense of humor is enhanced. Friends are drawn to you and there will be plenty of invitations for social events. Romance is exciting and promising. Max, your self-expression is improved and you feel more comfortable talking about your feelings, your expectations, and your dreams. Your Personal Month's compatibility for February 2018 is 7 and 3 Two very different and completely opposite cycles are affecting your lives right now, Max and Elizabeth. For Max, everything lightens up like a sunny day after a period of overcast skies, while for Elizabeth this is a more serious time, a time of self-awareness and self-discovery. Your moods are different and you may find it hard to communicate clearly. Max may become frustrated with Elizabeth and vice versa. Max is in a light-hearted, optimistic cycle while Elizabeth is serious and perhaps even moody and pessimistic. This difference can be offset by paying attention to each other’s needs, in particular on the physical plane. Express your love for each other, as much as you can, in the most basic forms known to man; reach out and be there for each other. It is also important for Max to understand that the quiet, withdrawn mood that seems to dominate Elizabeth is only temporary and represents a kind of healing. The soul is asking for attention and Elizabeth is just responding. Sometimes, this combination of cycles causes a breakdown in a relationship. If you feel that you are approaching the danger zone within your relationship, Max and Elizabeth, you will be able to overcome this by sharing your feelings as honestly as possible. And remember, you are both, but Elizabeth in particular, strongly affected by this cycle. Remember also, that cycles, by their very nature, are only temporary. Patience and tolerance are the keywords to get through this challenging period. Elizabeth, your Personal Month for March 2018 is 8 Elizabeth, March is an 8 Personal Month in a 5 Personal Year. It is a time to be careful in all financial matters. Issues involving money take center stage. More people go bankrupt or make a killing during this period than with almost any other number combination. Now, especially, you are required to balance the material and the spiritual. If you are considering a major purchase that involves long-range financing -- such as buying a house or a car -- but you question whether you can fulfill the obligation, you would do well to wait until the second half of May before acting. The worlds of work and personal relationships require opposite approaches this month. A certain amount of aggression in career and business matters is favorable. Promote your Page 45

ideas. Put out effort. Work harder and longer than is required. On the other hand, your personal life requires patience and understanding -- both of others and yourself. You may want to clear the air between you and a loved one, but you have difficulty overcoming your fear of being misunderstood. Or perhaps you are not clear about what you feel. Try putting your thoughts on paper first to achieve a higher degree of clarity. Max, your Personal Month for March 2018 is 4 Max, March is a 4 Personal Month in a 1 Personal Year and is the time to deliver; to show yourself and everyone involved that you are able and willing to do whatever it takes to reach your goals. It is a month to put your nose to the grindstone and to work on all the details. This is also a month in which your ability to plan and organize future events is greatly enhanced. So, too, is your clarity of mind. You gain confidence in your abilities and yourself. It's time to move; to make things happen. Do not procrastinate. Do not avoid work or effort. Slacking would be a serious mistake. The month can be a little frustrating because so much of your energy will have to be directed to work and details, even routine matters. But this is a time that will likely bring forth an important opportunity, and result in real progress. It's surprising, therefore, that against such a serious and work-oriented backdrop, romance can bloom. Someone is impressed with your down-to-earth, go-getters approach and your can-do mentality. Max, you will find yourself in demand. Your Personal Month's compatibility for March 2018 is 8 and 4 Max and Elizabeth, this combination of cycles can be either very good or very bad. It provides no middle ground. Metaphorically speaking, Max feels like someone who has to struggle through mud wearing heavy boots -- there is progress, but excruciatingly slow, and every step requires considerable effort. Elizabeth, on the other hand, feels like everything is within arm’s reach. All that is needed to achieve a goal and get a reward is simply to reach out and grab it. Together, these cycles either pull the best out of each other or enhance each other’s negative influences. Elizabeth’s optimism and can-do attitude during this time can be for Max like a red flag for a bull, while Max’s frustration and total focus on matters at hand can work like a cold shower on Elizabeth’s dynamic energy and optimism. Or Max’s efforts and dedication can be an inspiring influence to Elizabeth, while Elizabeth’s upbeat energy will certainly uplift Max, alleviating much of Max’s frustration and anxiety. To top it off, you will both be able to clearly recognize the effect you have on each other during this time. As a result, you will either feel love, gratitude, and appreciation for your partner, or anger and blame, depending on how you respond to each other’s needs. The key to getting the best out of this combination of cycles is to be aware of your partner’s needs and state of mind, and not to get caught up in your own world to the extent that you don’t know what is going on with the person you have chosen to be with. Page 46

Elizabeth, your Personal Month for April 2018 is 9 Elizabeth, April is a 9 Personal Month in a 5 Personal Year. It brings a certain amount of completion in both your personal life and career. It is time to let go and prepare for new adventures. It is necessary to keep a close eye on the details, particularly those related to your finances. Check your bank balance regularly and make sure you save the receipts for deposits and other transactions. There are indications of up-coming changes in your work environment; you are in the unique position to move to the spotlight. Self-promotion is favorable. You are a little more emotional and vulnerable and may have a tendency to make mountains out of molehills, however. Someone you care about is leaving, being transferred, or going on a long trip. Social events make this a hectic month and a certain amount of moderation and discipline is needed. Max, your Personal Month for April 2018 is 5 Max, April is a 5 Personal Month in a 1 Personal Year. It brings change in many practical areas of your life. As explained earlier, this year and last combine to bring about major changes. April brings many of these changes to the surface. They can include a change of residence or in career. The month often includes travel. You can count on a dynamic month, hectic even, but also adventurous and exciting. Consequently, the month requires flexibility and a willingness to accept change. Adapt. Respond. Embrace change. The more you allow yourself to flow with the circumstances, the easier and more successful this month will be. Be ready for surprises, but don't worry; the changes will streamline your ship and make your progress easier and more efficient. Max, your ability to promote yourself and your ideas is also enhanced. You have an uncanny talent to be in the right place at the right time this month. Both at work and at social events, you'll be able to advertise your talents and abilities. People will be drawn to you. With all this excitement, it may be hard to concentrate and focus on the job at hand. You'll need self-discipline in order to prevent the scattering of your energy. Unless you concentrate, you may realize at the end of this month that you did not get a lot done. Romance reveals a self-indulgent and perhaps irresponsible streak in you and should be handled with the utmost care. Your Personal Month's compatibility for April 2018 is 9 and 5 Max and Elizabeth, this combination of cycles can be quite challenging. Almost certainly, this is a bit of a trying time for Elizabeth, who feels somewhat at a loss as to where to go next, what the future holds, and so forth. There are few answers for many of the doubts and questions. The current cycle for Elizabeth feels like the end of a long, long day, when one is worn out, energy is low and one is emotionally charged and insecure. Don’t worry too much, Elizabeth, the next cycle will bring in a whole different energy, much more uplifting, inspiring, and powerful. On Max’s side, it will be a period of more energy and less patience than usual. And patience is exactly what Elizabeth needs. Therefore, the most important ingredient Page 47

necessary to make this period as good as it can be, is for Max to muster up as much patience as possible and use it to comfort and support Elizabeth. And, if things get a bit difficult during this time, Max and Elizabeth, keep in mind that you are under the powerful influence of cycles that are not very compatible. And cycles are, by nature, only temporary. Elizabeth, your Personal Month for May 2018 is 1 Elizabeth, May is a 1 Personal Month in a 5 Personal Year. It brings a sense of freshness or a new beginning in your personal life and career. You are more energetic and decisive than last month; this will help you cope with the hectic pace this month brings. This is a time of opportunity and the need to adapt quickly. You have been selected to play an important role in some new endeavor. This is an opportunity to move your career forward but it requires courage and the willingness to sacrifice some short-term goals. Financially, this is a dangerous time because of the tendency to splurge. If you are single, you may well be introduced to someone very interesting and attractive. If married, romance is rekindled. Still, new romantic relationships started under this number combination tend to burn out quickly. The attraction is physical and immediate, but may falter as soon as it is put to the test. Even if you are already committed you may well find yourself eye to eye with someone very attractive, in which case you may have to show considerable restraint in order to avoid a situation you may later regret. Max, your Personal Month for May 2018 is 6 Max, May is a 6 Personal Month in a 1 Personal Year. Love is a strong possibility and may require commitment. It is a month of responsibility, unselfish giving, and a willingness to devote time and energy to the needs of others. Domestic and community affairs move to the foreground of your life. Sometimes, this combination of numbers causes long slumbering discord between couples to surface and be dealt with. Consequently, this combination can represent both extremes of relationship -- either deeper commitment and more lasting love; or separation and divorce. Honesty is essential to the positive development of the month. You may find yourself tempted to take the easy way out in some awkward situation. However, white lies can turn ugly and become very destructive, particularly during this time. In general, this is a good time for career and financial matters, as long as you are wise and careful. Be sure to avoid speculation or chance-taking. This month may get you involved in a legal affair and, if that is the case, you can look forward to a positive outcome, as long as you stick to the truth and behave honorably. During a 6 Personal Month, 1 Personal Year, your ethics and moral values -- more than at any other time -- are crucial to your success.

is quite likely that jealousy will rear its ugly head and it is good to understand right away that blame is not the answer. Turmoil will be around and the relationship will lack stability. This is one of the most difficult and challenging combinations, and it is important to remember that your greatest strength is found in your faith in each other. While going through stages of doubt and insecurity, Max may, at the same time, be the target of too much attention by someone else. In the meantime, Elizabeth will tend to be very focused on goals and career, and may be somewhat oblivious to the signals that would otherwise warn Elizabeth to start paying attention to Max. For both of you, the answer lies in a conscious effort to be as much a part in your partner’s life as possible, even if that proves to be somewhat inconvenient. There is also a strong possibility of a birth in the family. This combination of cycles often represents the birth of a child. If that is the case, everything changes and the relationship becomes much stronger. Elizabeth, your Personal Month for June 2018 is 2 Elizabeth, June is a 2 Personal Month in a 5 Personal Year and it enhances your insight into the motivations and emotions of others. You play the role of counselor several times this month. Your intuitive powers are also enhanced, but this does not extend to money matters. It's not a good time to take financial risks. There are changes taking place in many areas of your life this year, and the general instability is felt strongly this month. Study and reading are more favorable, especially when related to your career. The focus is on relationships at work and at home. You need to trust others enough to open up your heart and reveal your deeper feelings. This is a good time to release some bottled-up feelings. Romance also plays an important role this month, particularly if you are involved in a relationship that originated fairly recent. Elizabeth, your enhanced sensitivity and intuition helps you to see the deeper meanings and values, which make the relationship stronger or....cause a permanent break. A critical issue here, is your ability to express your true feelings. Communicate! An unexpected invitation to visit a friend or relative in some distant town may inspire you to pack your backs and go. This will turn out to be beneficial. Max, your Personal Month for June 2018 is 7 Max, June is a 7 Personal Month in a 1 Personal Year and offers time and opportunity for contemplation and insight. Career and romance do not require as much attention as your own inner need to understand your motivations and desires. Don't make the mistake of feeling guilty for not carrying your load, or for not working hard enough. This is a month to set aside time for yourself. Look inside, get a better idea of what you want out of life, and don't be afraid to confront yourself. This is a spiritual time and a wonderful opportunity to gain insight into your true motivations and desires. Your career should not require much attention; just keep up your sails and let the wind take care of the rest. Financially, this is a time to be conservative. Let friends coast on their own. This is a month to devote to the inner you. Page 49

Your Personal Month's compatibility for June 2018 is 2 and 7 Elizabeth, this is not a time to pay too much attention or attach much value to your emotional ups and downs. This is a time for you to swallow your pride, ignore any possible hurts, and to focus on what you want. During this time, you may occasionally feel that Max is a bit distant and seems to live in a world that doesn’t include you. In a way, this is true. Max is going through a time of self-reflection, a time of spiritual wondering. For Max, this is a time when life itself demands a lot of attention. Elizabeth, your best response is to focus on your own life. Quite different from Max, who is consciously or sub-consciously, involved on a deep level with the mystery of life and all its manifestations, Elizabeth should be focused on the practical side of living; career, the home, finances, and so forth. If you both feel that each of you is more involved in yourself than in each other, take heart in the fact that this is not per se a bad thing. You play different roles right now and should allow each other the space and freedom to do that. Elizabeth and Max, it is only when you try to force your partner to move into your world, that the relationship might get damaged. Otherwise, the relationship is actually quite safe since neither one of you has any desire to rock the boat. Elizabeth, your Personal Month for July 2018 is 3 Elizabeth, July is a 3 Personal Month in a 5 Personal Year. Money matters come to the foreground; debts are called in and close attention should be paid to your bank account. Your ability to influence the ideas and opinions of others works in your favor and may create a new source of income. This is also a good time to promote yourself. If you have considered upgrading your resume or trying out for that new position you have been considering, now is the time to do it. A career change is also possible as a result of outside forces. You are more creative. You feel somewhat restless and impulsive and are willing to take risks for the sole reason that you need a change. There is a tendency to be somewhat scattered and even a little irresponsible during this cycle. Elizabeth, your domestic environment also becomes a source of restlessness and you may have to guard against irrational behavior from your side. At the same time, you reach out to old friends and relatives you have not been in touch with for some time. Your emotional state is a little turbulent causing you to be moody. Try to maintain equilibrium. This is a month to be somewhat detached from the events and circumstances surrounding your life. Don't take yourself too serious, and, if possible, take some time off for a vacation. It's a good time to recharge your batteries. Max, your Personal Month for July 2018 is 8 Max, July is an 8 Personal Month in a 1 Personal Year. Career and finances are at the top of all your priorities. Work hard and wisely.

money should be handled with the utmost care. But let me be clear: This month is a rewarding time, and your chances that events will take a positive turn are great. If you are wise and cautious, you may increase your bank balance considerably. Nine-out-of-ten people in this combination -- 8 Month, 1 Year -- increase the strength of their financial positions. This month brings strong emotions in personal relationships. Chances are good that someone has been trying to take advantage of you. Moreover, this realization leaves you disappointed. The situation will eventually be resolved, but the healing will likely take time. If you are not yet romantically involved, this month may introduce you to someone special through work or business. Your Personal Month's compatibility for July 2018 is 3 and 8 Creativity, optimism, and inspiration are the main ingredients in Elizabeth’s cycle. Ambition, goals, and financial rewards are the components ruling Max’s cycle. Although very different, these cycles are nonetheless compatible. They complement and inspire each other. Elizabeth and Max, this is not only a good combination of cycles as it relates to your relationship, but also on a more practical level. You will be able to take care of long postponed projects, overcome some financial difficulties you have had, make repairs to the house, and so forth. This is one of the best combinations to be shared by two people involved in a relationship. You relate easily, communicate well, and support each other’s endeavors. There is, however, an area where there might be some discordance. Elizabeth is inspired and active, but not focused on goals so much as on the activities themselves, while Max is completely focused on the bottom line. As a result, Max may feel Elizabeth is irresponsible. Elizabeth, on the other hand, may feel that Max is all work and no play. Compromising and understanding that each cycle has its own opportunities will help you get the most out of this period. Elizabeth, your Personal Month for August 2018 is 4 Elizabeth, August is a 4 Personal Month in a 5 Personal Year. Your career may be demanding and a bit frustrating. You need to attend to routine matters, some of which may be boring. This is not a time to slack. Don't procrastinate. Commit to your responsibilities and see projects through to completion. This month could bring a welcome opportunity on the job front, but your success will depend upon your willingness to stand up for yourself, to take charge of circumstances, and refuse to be victimized by outside events. You need the courage to stand up for your beliefs, to "do the right thing." Make important changes in your life. Such as start a diet and/or exercise regimen, quit smoking, dedicate yourself to a good cause, and reconnect to your higher spiritual values. This is the month to make fundamental and positive long-term changes in your life. It's important to demonstrate to those around you that you are dependable and can be relied upon.

Max, your Personal Month for August 2018 is 9 Max, August is a 9 Personal Month in a 1 Personal Year and promises some important changes. The previous year -- a 9 Personal Year and this year, your 1 Personal Year -- are considered a two-year block of time in which much wrapping up of old business, habits, and personal relationships are finally put to rest. This month, your 9 Personal Month in your 1 Personal Year, represents the concluding stage of that two year period. The last quick sweep of outdated concepts and expectations, confusions and doubts is done. With the beginning of next month, your inner house will be thoroughly cleaned. There will be a few moments of unexplainable emotional upsets, melancholy, and such, but they are essentially the remnants of the old you. Share those feelings with someone close to you. Take comfort in heart-to-heart talks. Still, do not doubt that you now have both feet firmly planted in the new 9 year cycle. You are ready to move ahead. If your love relationship is fairly recent, Max, or still fragile, this month will likely reveal whether it is of true substance and endurance. Let go of whatever wants to be free; hold on to what wants to stay. And then look to a brighter future. Your Personal Month's compatibility for August 2018 is 4 and 9 Elizabeth and Max, the four and the nine are not the most compatible of cycles. As a matter of fact, this combination often causes emotional turmoil within a relationship, in part because Max is at the end of a series of cycles, a time when one’s feelings and emotions are always unpredictable. Max needs to let go of the old and prepare for the new, and letting go invariably brings on powerful emotions. Elizabeth, on the other hand, is experiencing a time during which there is little room for feelings or sensitivity of any kind. Elizabeth’s focus is on practical matters: career, work, taking care of details, effort and discipline. Elizabeth needs to see results and progress. This is a time when Max needs Elizabeth to offer understanding and to show that you are walking the same road towards common goals. In contrast, Elizabeth would rather see Max getting on with the more mundane business at hand. Elizabeth and Max, you must be conscious of the fact that you are going through very different stages and, at this time, the best advice for both of you is to try to be as close to each other as you can be. Take the effort to focus on your partner and not on yourself. Most importantly, get away from the daily grind and do things you enjoy doing together as often as you can manage: go to the movies or go dancing, or paint the town red if necessary. Page 52
