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.

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.

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.

The Life Path number gives us a broad outline of the opportunities, challenges, and lessons we encounter in this lifetime. Your Life path is the road you are traveling. It reveals the opportunities and challenges you face in life. Your Life Path number is the single most important information available in your Personality Chart!

Richard, your Life Path is 20/2

The key word in your nature is peacemaker. You have the soul of an artist. You are extremely sensitive, perceptive, and a bit shy. These qualities are both your strengths and weaknesses, for while you possess enormous sensitivity to your feelings and those of others, that same sensitivity can cause you to hold back and repress your considerable talents. Sensitivity and perceptiveness are among your many fine qualities

Because you intuitively know what people want, or feel, you can be extremely diplomatic and tactful. You are also patient and cooperative. You work well with groups and somehow find a way of creating harmony among diverse opinions.

You enjoy music and poetry and require a harmonious environment.

You have an eye for beauty and a fine sense of balance and rhythm. You have healing capabilities, especially in such fields as massage, acupuncture, physical therapy, and counseling.

However, your sensitivity can also be your downfall. Your extremely delicate ego bruises easily and can make too much of someone else's thoughtless remarks or criticisms. Because you get hurt easily, you may tend to withhold your own thoughts and contributions to the matter at hand. This can cause you considerable resentment and anger.

Too often, you run from confrontation to avoid a battle.

When you employ your considerable inner strength, you will discover your enormous power and abilities to direct difficult situations toward your own goals. It is the awareness of your inner strength that will give you the courage to use your own personal power when it is needed. You are a sensitive and passionate lover, your perceptiveness makes you aware of your partner's needs and desires, which you are able to fulfill with almost magical delicacy.

However, when you feel you have been mistreated or jilted, you can react with devastating power, sometimes using personal criticisms vindictively. Your awareness, diplomatic skills, and organizational talents give you the ability to bring off difficult tasks. You willingly step out of the limelight to facilitate the success of your endeavor. In truth, you are often the power behind the throne. However, you do not always receive the credit you deserve for the fine work you've done, or your role is underestimated and your accomplishments overlooked. Rather than brood over your losses, you need to confront those who would make less of your contributions and stand up for your accomplishments. You need security and comfort, quiet settings, and the company of loved ones. You are a perfectionist when it comes to your home and work environment. You have excellent taste which is obvious in your private surroundings. You are a fine companion and possess a good sense of humor. Friends seek you out for your calming and peaceful company. You are a safe haven to other sensitive people, who recognize your compassion and understanding. When you have found your niche in life, you have all the talents and intelligence for great success. Seek out work that allows your sensitive nature to flourish -- be the glue that binds others together.

Elizabeth, your Life Path is 17/8

You are gifted with natural leadership and the capacity to accumulate great wealth. You have great talent for management in all areas of life, especially in business and financial matters. You understand the material world; you intuitively know what makes virtually any enterprise work. Your talent lies not with the bookkeeping or petty management, but with the greater vision, it's purpose, and long range goals.

You are a visionary and a bit reckless. You possess the ability to inspire people to join you in your quest, but often they are incapable of seeing what you see. Therefore, those around you need your continual guidance, inspiration, and encouragement. You must prod them into action and direct them along the lines of your vision.

You attract financial success more than any other Life Path, but effort is required.

Your challenge in life is to achieve a high degree of detachment, to understand that power and influence must be used for the benefit of mankind. Those born with the Number 8 Life Path who do not understand the real and relative value of money are bound to suffer the consequences of greed; they run the risk of losing it all!

You must learn to bounce back from failures and defeats. You have the character and resilience of a true survivor. It is not uncommon for a person with your Life Path to experience major reverses, including bankruptcies, financial failure, but you also have the talent and the sheer guts to make more than one fortune, and build many successful enterprises. More than most people, your failures in marriage can be extremely expensive for you.

Despite the difficulties that life presents, you will experience the satisfaction that comes from material wealth and the power that comes with it.

Business, finance, real estate, law, science (particularly history, archeology, and physics), publishing, and the management of large institutions are among the vocational fields that suit you best. You are naturally attracted to positions of influence and leadership -- Politics, social work, and teaching are among the many other areas where your abilities can shine.

You are a good judge of character, which aids you well in attracting the right people to you.

Most 8s like large families and sometimes tend to keep others dependent longer than necessary. Although jovial in nature you are not demonstrative in showing your love and affection.

The desire for luxury and comfort is especially strong in you. Status is very important. You must be careful to avoid living above your means.

Your Life Path treads that dangerous ground where power lies -- and can corrupt. You may become too self important, arrogant, and domineering, thinking that your way is the only way. This leads inevitably to isolation and conflict. The people you run the risk of hurting most are those you love, your family and friends.

Be careful of becoming stubborn, intolerant, overbearing, and impatient. These characteristics may be born early in the life of an 8 Life Path, who often learn these negative traits after suffering under a tyrannical parent or a family burdened by repressive religious or intellectual dogmas.

Those with the 8 Life Path usually possess a strong physique, which is a symptom of their inherent strength and resiliency.

Your Life Path's compatibility is 2 and 8

Richard and Elizabeth, your Life Path numbers are the most important numbers in your charts, and, as such, their compatibility is extremely important to the well-being of your relationship.

Richard is drawn to Elizabeth in part because Elizabeth has great inner strength and the kind of personal power that reveals the possibility of worldly success. Capable and goal-oriented, Elizabeth is a force to be reckoned with.

Elizabeth is attracted to Richard largely because Elizabeth recognizes in Richard an emotional and spiritual wealth that may well have remained, at least to some extent, dormant in the life of Elizabeth. Richard lives and experiences life on many levels. Richard knows the heart and the power of emotions. When brought together, the two and the eight’s individual innate qualities can produce quite a balanced relationship.

This is a combination with potential to survive for years and years. However, an important detail you both must be attentive to is that the relation between a two and an eight is often based on illusions, and when such illusions fall apart, the relationship may crash.

The two sees strength, and thinks it will always be there. The eight sees romance and the subtle powers of the heart, and thinks it will last forever. Neither does, of course. Strength eventually dissipates. The heart slowly loses interest.

However, that does not mean this relationship doesn’t stand a chance. It certainly does. And the key to make it a pleasant, long lasting relationship is to recognize each other for what you are, beyond the obvious. Richard must learn to love not only Elizabeth’s strength and capabilities but also Elizabeth’s weaknesses. It is important that Richard can love Elizabeth as a whole human being. And Elizabeth, in turn, must learn to love not only the romantic presence, the passion of the heart Elizabeth craves in Richard, but Richard as a whole human being.

Few combinations tend to give birth to relationships based on illusions as often as do the two and the eight. But Richard and Elizabeth, don’t forget that this is just one aspect of the chart. You both have many other qualities to be brought to the surface, exercised and explored to your mutual benefit. Just keep that in mind, unite your respective strengths and move on to turn yours into a most pleasant, rewarding and long lasting relationship.

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, reveal 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.

Richard, your Expression is 8

You have the power and potential to achieve great things. It is both your challenge and your birthright to gain dominion over a small part of the earth. Whatever your enterprise, you strive to be the best and most successful in your field. You are highly competitive and will not rest until you are satisfied that you have bypassed the opposition. You enjoy challenges and rivalry.

You are a realist and a visionary planner. Money and authority are available to you if you are willing to discipline yourself -- generally an inborn talent -- and persevere in the face of the considerable obstacles in your path.

You are dynamic and have a talent for efficiency. You understand the larger picture, see the broader challenges, and know how to marshal your collective resources to address the problems. You delegate responsibility well; it is best for you to leave many of the details to others.

You are a great leader of people and an outstanding judge of character. You are demanding of those who work for you, often putting things in no uncertain terms: do it my way or don't do it at all!

At the same time, you don't hesitate to reward the faithful and hardworking employee. You are not a particularly tolerant leader; too much tolerance violates your sense of efficiency. You go directly after your goal with courage and tenacity.

You have a natural understanding of money, authority, and power. You are able to struggle consistently after your goal. Eventually power falls to you. Within you lies an innate balance between the higher and lower characteristics of man. Your challenge in life is to balance your higher ideals and your understanding of the hard realities of the earth.

Much effort will have to be put out and many ups and downs experienced before you reach the level of success you desire. Life will probably test you many times with obstacles that seem insurmountable. But in reality, these are merely opportunities for you to learn how to use power and authority in the face of difficulties, and to find out just how much power lies within you.

It is crucial for your success that you balance the material and the spiritual. You have chosen a path that requires balance between giving and taking, reward and punishment, action and reaction. Despite the obstacles on your path, you are a true survivor.

When focused exclusively on your desire for results and success, you can become stubborn and intolerant; you can be driven by excessive ambition, causing you to be exacting and without perspective.

Be careful of your alcohol consumption, a danger-zone for you. You can be a social drinker, mixing business with pleasure -- a dangerous cocktail.

An excellent manager, organizer and administrator you have talents in many areas of life. Entrepreneurs, executives, bankers, brokers, negotiators, gamblers, coaches, collectors, heads of institutions, builders, art dealers, manufacturers, promoters, military officers, police detectives, smugglers, engineers, pilots or sea captains.

You have been entrusted with special gifts, the use or abuse of which has an immediate and often physical effect upon you and those around you! Use these gifts for the good of mankind and accept your own good fortune with gratitude. This is your rewarding stage in your evolution. Yours is a life time of harvest

Elizabeth, your Expression is 11

Yours is the most highly charged Expression number of all. You are like a lightning rod, attracting powerful ideas, intuitions, and even psychic information like unpredictable bolts.

You are a powerful presence without any awareness on your part of having personal power. You are a channel for higher vibrations. But in order to be emotionally and psychologically at peace, you must learn to control that flow of energy. You possess a bridge between the unconscious and the conscious. The trouble is that the unconscious is an infinite resource, while consciousness by definition is a limited arena. The two are therefore at odds until they can learn to live in harmony with each other. This is where control comes in. Until you are able to control the flow of energy from this infinite source, you may feel like a victim of its whimsy, thrown about by emotional turmoil and nervous tensions.

You have always sensed that you are different, but it was an indefinable feeling. You are enormously sensitive and aware, especially as a child. This made you vulnerable to all conflicts and painful situations. For most of your upbringing, however, you did not realize that other people did not possess the same sensitivity, nor did they see the same things you were seeing. This caused a great reservoir of emotion that was dammed up behind an inability to express your feelings, even to yourself. For this reason, most 11 Expressions have a difficult childhood. Your extreme sensitivity made you very shy as a child. This usually manifests in adulthood as hesitation and acute vulnerability. You are very careful about sharing your feelings with others and choosing your friends.

You compensated for your sense of separation in childhood by creating an elaborate fantasy world. You daydreamed more than other children. You have a lively imagination and even in adulthood have a hard time separating reality from fantasy.

Your challenge is to bring forth your primitive, earthy strength. You need to be grounded in order to deal with your lightning bolts. The more you are able to call upon your inherent human strength, the greater your capacity to take advantage of your extremely sensitive awareness. Once this is accomplished, your antagonist becomes your benefactor.

You are highly emotional and dependent upon relationships. Emotionally, you go up and down with the fortunes of your love life.

You are idealistic, impractical, and at times disorderly. You are often unrealistic in your expectations.

Your reasons for doing things are usually born of a mixture of logic, emotion, and intuition, which can rarely be explained satisfactorily to your more rational associates.

The 11 Expression is the number most dependent upon other core numbers in your chart for insight into your vocation. The 11 charges every area it enters, but it needs a grounding vocation and discipline to be effective.

A balanced 11 is one of the most unique and impressive of all people. It is gifted with insight and illumination, which it can transmit to others. This makes you a natural teacher in whatever area you enter.

Your Expression's compatibility is 8 and 11

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 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.

Elizabeth is drawn to Richard in part because Richard has great inner strength and the kind of personal power that reveals the possibility of worldly success. Capable and goal-oriented, Richard is a force to be reckoned with.

Richard is attracted to Elizabeth largely because Richard recognizes in Elizabeth an emotional and spiritual wealth that may well have remained, at least to some extent, dormant in the life of Richard.

Just keep that in mind, unite your respective strengths and move on to turn yours into a most pleasant, rewarding and long lasting relationship.

HEART'S DESIRE

Your Heart's Desire is based on the vowels in your name. It 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 demonstrates the identity of the soul that joined the earth -- you, the spiritual being.

Richard, your Heart's Desire is 6

Your attention is directed to helping and caring for those you love. You are exceedingly domestic. You love your home and family and work hard to make both comfortable and secure. Your love for family and friends is a major source of your happiness and sometimes unhappiness.

Your desire to help others is so strong that you often find yourself sacrificing your own personal needs for someone else's. You can overdo it, becoming too deeply involved in other people's lives. You risk interfering in personal matters and or smothering those you love in too much affection. This can be especially weakening to children, who never experience their own personal strength if an adult is too protective.

You are extremely loyal and rarely let anyone down. You need to feel appreciation for your giving and caring. You want to know that you are needed.

You are generous and very forgiving. You are somehow able to overlook the worst mistakes in another and find enough good in that person to continue the relationship.

You are patient, warm, and sympathetic, sometimes to the point of sentimentality.

You have a natural ability as a counselor and healer. You are an excellent listener, compassionate and understanding. You are able to both sympathize and empathize with a person's dilemma. Your challenge as a counselor is to be adequately educated so that you can do more than provide a sympathetic ear or shoulder.

You possess a great deal of artistic talent, though you may not have a lot of confidence in your ability. Art gives you a great deal of pleasure and satisfaction. You are especially sensitive to your environment and have a knack for creating an artistic, healing, and harmonious atmosphere in your home or work space.

Your deepest intention is to love those around you, and be loved in return. Six is the most loving of all numbers, especially in a one-to-one relationships. Your instincts are toward your family and friends. You envision a beautiful and harmonious life with love as the basis for all social interaction. Your love is returned manifold; people appreciate you and the love you give, and are willing to go to great lengths to keep you close at hand.

Elizabeth, 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.

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 6 and 4

Compatibility of the Heart’s Desire numbers is extremely important in a relationship - few relationships last beyond the initial stage if the Heart’s Desire numbers are not compatible.

It is not all that common for these two numbers to “fall in love.” Although these numbers carry some common traits - the two of them are practical, grounded, and highly responsible - they are rarely interested in each other. The four and the six are both family-oriented numbers, with a strong sense of community and loyalty to others, but they tend to compete where you might expect them to support each other. This is only one aspect of your charts, but, quite possibly, the hardest to overcome at the onset of the relationship. However, if support prevails over competition and you do become involved in a romantic relationship, it will usually be a strong, comfortable alliance right from the very beginning, an alliance that will, more often than not, last for a long time. It will be the kind of relationship others recognize and view as indestructible. It is understood that “Elizabeth and Richard are always together”, you make the “perfect couple” - those are statements people around you wouldn’t even consider questioning.

This contradiction is explained by the fact that you have a lot in common in some ways but, at the same time, you have some major differences to overcome.

As we mentioned, Elizabeth and Richard, the two of you are responsible and family oriented. Your priorities have to do with the home, children, friends, stability and security. You are both very loyal and protective of each other and of those you care about. It is in the underlying energy and in the way you express it that you are very different. While Elizabeth relies on structure, discipline, and control to protect, love and care for others, Richard relies on love, sacrifice and forgiveness. Elizabeth is much less flexible and may, at times, feel that Richard is too soft and forgiving. You make up a relationship typically characterized as the disciplinary father and the soft mother, or vice versa.

For those around you, the impression is that Elizabeth is harder and less loving, while Richard is pure love and gentleness. This is not an accurate perception, though. Elizabeth’s love is no less strong than Richard’s - it is just not as openly expressed. When push comes to shove, Elizabeth will fight and sacrifice just about anything to protect Richard, the children, or anyone else who is part of Elizabeth’s life.

A certain danger exists when some of these attributes become too strong. Elizabeth’s need for discipline and structure may, at some point, become too much for Richard, suffocating and limiting Richard’s ability to express love easily and without fear. Another possibility would be Richard becoming a bit of a doormat everyone takes advantage of, which might lead Elizabeth to lose respect for Richard.

Elizabeth and Richard, you can, together, balance these opposites and live a strong, lifelong relationship if you just remember that, deep inside, you value the same things.

PERSONALITY

Your Personality number is derived from the consonants of your 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, life Path, 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.

Richard, your Personality is 11/2

You appear friendly and unpretentious. You have a soft and warm exterior. Others perceive you as gentle, safe harbor. People are drawn to you because, among other reasons, you appear warm and unthreatening.

Your dress is neat and clean. Your clothing should be comfortable, soft, and flowing. You should avoid plain and understated clothes. Make an effort to be a little more daring and exciting in your appearance. This will balance nicely with your perceptive and open personality.

The opposite sex is attracted to your gentle and attentive nature, yet senses the passion beneath your surface. You have sex appeal.

Exercise is important to your appearance and to promote the level of strength you radiate.

You are very patient and understanding, and a wonderful listener. You make others feel important and loved.

You are sensitive and become tense in a disharmonious atmosphere. You have experienced quite a bit of negative criticism as a child, which made you shy growing up. Though you may be well past that shyness, a bit of the vulnerability has remained with you and is often sensed by others.

You are a peacemaker. Arguments leave you drained. People sense your desire for harmony. But you must avoid being the blank tablet for others' projections. People may underestimate your strength, but this is a mistake. You are strong. You bend, but don't break.

You have a fine sense of beauty and excellent taste. There is a grace in your movements, reflecting your keen sense of harmony and refinement.

Elizabeth, your Personality is 16/7

You seem mysterious and different. People see you as serious and studious. You are highly independent and self- sufficient. Your exceptional intelligence and wisdom are quickly noticed, people respect you. You are not one to attract people on the basis of your warmth or compassion -- though you may be loaded with both -- but because of your obvious insight into life's mysteries.

You are hard to get to know. You are often withdrawn. It is common for people to see your focus turn inside of yourself in the middle of a conversation.

You have the makings of an intellectual and an aristocrat but you have to guard against arrogance and an attitude of, "I've got it all figured out".

There have been periods in your life when you had little concern for your clothing or fashion, while at other times you are very aware of your clothing and use it to make a specific impression.

You appear dignified no matter how you dress., but a well groomed seven with a touch of dash definitely has an advantage. Your confidence increases when you know you are well dressed.

You are recognized as spiritual and religious, with your very own ideas regarding the purpose of life and the Creator.

You are an inspired speaker, but only when discussing subjects that really interest you. Otherwise, you are not one for chatter.

Your love of knowledge and wisdom shows.

Your Personality's compatibility is 2 and 7

Quickly recognized when two people first meet, not many relationships even get started unless the Personality numbers are compatible.

In this combination of numbers, intuition meets intelligence, sensitivity meets clinical research, the heart meets the mind. It would be a challenge to find two more different archetypes than this. Richard and Elizabeth, yours is a unique relationship. Rarely do two such different numbers express even the slightest bit of interest in each other. But, when they do, the partnership is worth every effort. Almost certainly, you met under strange circumstances, perhaps a situation where you were both out of your usual environment, and, most likely, Richard reached out to Elizabeth.

Once these two completely different numbers come close enough, the result is often an exchange of energy that welds the relationship for life.

The dangers and pitfalls possible in this combination are generally experienced right at the beginning of the relationship. They are numerous and include the inability to relate to the other person’s way of thinking, feeling, and expressing. Richard’s love is soft and gentle, idealistic and romantic, emotional and innocently childlike. Elizabeth’s love is like a precious jewel; it requires a lot to earn it. Wisdom and knowledge, spiritual understanding and an ageless quality strengthen Elizabeth’s love. At the onset of the relationship, this was the big hurdle to overcome. Elizabeth does not trust love that comes so easily. On the other hand, Richard simply cannot understand why someone would not just respond. After all, what is more natural than love?

Sometimes, a relationship with this combination of numbers occurs after the partners have known each other for many years, when levels of trust and understanding have been achieved before either one of them thought about romance. So, a romance born on such solid foundations and balanced by pure emotions on one side and wisdom and spiritual understanding on the other can’t but succeed.

So, be that as it may, once other number combinations bring these two opposite archetypes together into this unique relationship, it takes a hurricane to destroy their bond.

Your Personal Year for 2000's compatibility is 5 and 4

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.

Elizabeth and Richard, this is a time during which you are under very different influences. It is a time of focus, effort, and sometimes frustration and stagnation for Elizabeth, and a time of change, excitement, and dynamic energy for Richard.

As a result, Richard is in a position to help Elizabeth to keep moving forward and not get too frustrated by the demands of this cycle, and Elizabeth will be able to function somewhat like an anchor for Richard. Richard can certainly use the stable influence of Elizabeth during this hectic and unpredictable time.

The most positive effect of this combination of cycles is that their combined forces almost always deliver progress and decisiveness. By the end of this cycle, you will realize that you will have established new goals, and a clearer horizon will make it much easier for you to see where you want to go next.

A negative effect you should be aware of is that you may find yourselves moving in such different directions that, at times, you will feel like strangers. Share your feelings and ideas as much as possible and reach out to each other. Physical closeness and sharing things you both enjoy will help you keep connected on all other levels.

You realize the importance of your place within your community. You will be called upon to help others bear their burdens. You are the proverbial friend in need.

You must work to create an atmosphere of harmony and balance. It is often a time when marital issues surface and need attention. However, you possess the understanding to deal with such issues effectively if you apply yourself with love and flexibility.

These deep feelings bring renewal to relationships and often a birth in the family.

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.

Your Personal Year for 2001's compatibility is 6 and 5

Elizabeth is in a cycle of change and highly charged energy. Richard is in a cycle of stability and responsibility. Elizabeth’s energy is restless and dynamic, Richard’s energy is focused and grounded. Elizabeth is looking around for opportunity and adventure. Richard is looking at the home and the family. Richard’s attention is focused near by, on the people and things that matter most. Elizabeth’s attention is focused away; on work, career, travel and so forth.

These cycles are as opposite as two cycles can be, yet they are not incompatible. Within a relationship, these influences complement and balance each other. However, if they get too inner-twined, they will turn on each other and anger and blame are the most likely result. It is important, now more than at almost any other time, Elizabeth and Richard, that you don’t try to influence each other too much. Live and let live is the slogan for this month. You probably have realized by now that, more often than not, you are experiencing very different cycles. This is an important aspect of your relationship not limited to this particular cycle. It will always be that way. You should accept the fact that you tend to be influenced by very different energies most of your lives. Therefore, you may just want to make the concept of live and let live a family slogan -- for life.

But, as you probably have also realized by now, although the influence of your personal cycles always tend to place you at opposite ends of the spectrum, it also means that you complement each other very well and make a great team when you put your minds to it. In particular when it comes to showing a single front to the outside world.

Richard, your Personal Year for 2002 is 7

You will experience a strong tendency to spend more time alone, to delve inside and find some answers and to reach a better understanding of yourself. This is not a year for social activities nor is it a year to try and reach goals on a material level. You will find that the necessities of daily life seem to be taken care of by themselves. There is no need to be overly concerned regarding your material needs. Without slacking on your daily duties and responsibilities, you can afford to give more attention to yourself. This is a year for inner growth. It is your spiritual and mental presence that requires attention. Improve the quality of your life, read, contemplate and gain insight in yourself. You are important now. Rest and attend to your health. It is during this year that you strengthen the foundation of your life, after all your success in all matters rests upon the strength of your inner self. There will be many strange and unusual events inspiring you to take a closer look at life and an opportunity is there to experience the joy and beauty of life without any artificial or exterior involvement but purely the growing awareness of yourself. To much concern and desire for material rewards will turn this period of your life into a very bad experience indeed, while a "let go and let god " attitude will make this such a fruitful and pleasant year that you may find yourself wondering what you did to deserve this.

Elizabeth, your Personal Year for 2002 is 6

This is a year of domestic responsibility and attention to the needs of family and friends. It is a time of heart felt emotions and some sacrifice. It is a time for comforting and caring.

You realize the importance of your place within your community. You will be called upon to help others bear their burdens. You are the proverbial friend in need.

These deep feelings bring renewal to relationships and often a birth in the family.

Your Personal Year for 2002's compatibility is 7 and 6

Elizabeth and Richard, you are experiencing very different cycles.

On one hand, the influences of the six and the seven complement each other very well. On the other, they create such different needs you may find that there is little common ground between the two of you. You may find that you disagree on just about everything; how to spend your vacation, what kind of car to buy, which of your friends to invite, and so forth. Elizabeth is reaching out to people, Richard is avoiding them. Elizabeth is more extrovert than usual, Richard is seeking peace and quiet.

A positive influence during this time is found in the fact Elizabeth more tolerant and giving, willing to sacrifice here and there to accommodate Richard. This is an important and much needed factor to make this a harmonious time. Richard is not very patient right now and doesn’t want to be bothered.

Elizabeth, it is important to remember that if Richard seems a bit cool and distant, this has nothing to do with the relationship. Richard is doing some soul searching and needs to be given some space and distance. Richard, it is crucial not to forget Elizabeth and not to get lost within yourself to the extent of ignoring the world around you. Pay attention to those you care about, Richard. Your relationship with your friends, your family and with Elizabeth will last a lot longer than this period of self-examination and spiritual exploration.

PERSONAL MONTHS

Richard, your Personal Month for December 2000 is 8

December is an 8 Personal Month in a 5 Personal Year and will be rewarding in many areas of life. This is a good time for business and money matters. But don't indulge in spending money to impress others or flaunt your success.

The 8 Personal Month brings balance in all material matters. Expect some recognition in your working environment, perhaps a bonus or promotion.

This is an excellent time to promote some of your ideas or any other input you have in relation to your career.

Romance is favorable too. Express your love. You will be more attractive than usual to members of the opposite sex.

Elizabeth, your Personal Month for December 2000 is 7

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.
