Sample Reads

The following are sample reads on a few folks whose names you will recognize, but they are more casual and refined and are not intended to reveal everything about each person, nor could they, for the only one who will truly be able to read their own energies will be the person under analysis. Also, there is a certain level of respect that must be observed when it concerns messages from analysis: some are very personal and should only be revealed to the subject, so I have not gone down that deep in these sample reads. They are intended as structured examples of the information potentially available to you when you do your own analysis. Also, with the exception of one example, these folks are alive and well, so I have not addressed their Current Energy Phases for reasons also having to do with respect of privacy.

Having said that, the letters and numbers do have overall meanings and in reading them, we can get a general idea of prevailing energies and other things.

Apolo Anton Ohno—Olympic Speedskater

Apolo Anton Ohno reflects the strength in his name by standing as one of the most powerful and decorated American Winter Olympians of all time. He has come a noticeably long way in a relatively short time: from a lost Olympic bid while still a young teenager, Apolo has gone on to win a total of 8 Olympic medals, and all before his 28th birthday.

However, it was not always smooth skating for Apolo. He had his share of ups and downs that were serious enough to perhaps have prompted anyone with less drive and determination to throw in the towel or unlace the skates, as the case may be.

Apolo began his speedskating career while still very young, and experienced considerable victories and setbacks along the way. At 14, Apolo became the youngest athlete ever to win the US Championships. After some weight and strength issues in 1997, he failed to make the US Junior World team, yet later that same year, went on to win both gold and silver medals at the US Senior Championships. The following year saw a disappointing last-place finish in his first bid for an Olympic spot at Nagano, but he then went on to win his second US Championship in 1999.
In 2000, Apolo was unable to defend his title in the same competition, yet won his first World Cup overall title in 2001 while also regaining his National title.

Controversy has never strayed far from Apolo either. In 2001, while participating in the pre-Olympic trials for short-track skating, Apolo was involved in an International Olympic Committee (IOC) dispute that centered around a questionable skate (he and a friend were suspected of throwing a race in order to ensure a spot on the six-man team for yet another friend). After enduring a three-day arbitration hearing, both were cleared of any wrongdoing. But controversy continued, this time centering around the disqualification of a leading South Korean skater for “cross-tracking” (blocking Ohno’s path), which then cleared the way for a gold medal finish for Apolo. More than 16,000 angry emails actually crashed the IOC’s website and subsequent death threats kept Apolo from competing in the 2003 World Cup short-track race in Korea, but again, he persevered and successfully defended his title during that same year and again in 2005. In the years that followed, Apolo continued to race and win—and also to race and lose, but he never gave up. Along the way, he collected 8 Olympic medals, numerous National titles, and an induction to the Asian Hall of Fame (in recognition of his outstanding achievements and Japanese heritage); he guest-judged on Project Runway, and both entered and won the fourth season of Dancing with the Stars with his partner, Julianne Hough.

In contrast to this ambitious side of Apolo is the soft and compassionate one: he also takes the time to work with worthy and humanitarian causes. For example, he has worked with Product Red to help fight AIDS in Africa; the Salvation Army to assist those less fortunate; and the Ronald McDonald House to help fund a home stay in Seattle, to mention but a few. Apolo is an interesting blend of drive and ambition and faith and spirituality.

Day: Master 22: The Builder

The connections in Apolo’s name became apparent immediately and grew as I continued formulating his chart. The first and most obvious connection is to be found in his middle name and his day of birth: both show Master 22 energies, which can take the dreams and fantasies of the Master 11 and make them real and tangible in this Earth plane. The Master Builder (or Architect) has the fundamental power to create a rather large life—to amass and achieve and to, well, build his reality and surroundings and arrange their contents according to his desires. This super-charged energy is already making itself known. He has set an Olympic World record, so the balance of his life is akin to an open playing field (or ice arena, as it were).

The other main connector is to be found in his Total Name Number of 9. As you know, this complete read of any name indicates the Universal potential held within that name, and Apolo’s gift vibrates exactly to his Number 9 Lifepath. Remember when I mentioned that the above connection is ideally what one wants to see and that the Total Name energy matching the Lifepath is quite auspicious? Here is a perfect example of this unification and proof of the power of aligned energies. Further, this 9 appears once more as the “sum of all he is,” as represented by his Identity Initial Code of AAO (1+1+7 =9).

The following is what Apolo’s energies look like when broken down into categories.

Whole Name Numbers

Social Energy

APOLO (A/1, P/8, O/7, L/3, O/7) = 26/8

Apolo’s Cornerstone is the perfect expression of the pure and Original Force that the letter A and number 1 represent: both are “starter” energies, both are driven to succeed, and both pave the way for others to follow. The A/1 is the pioneer, the leader, the one who never gives up. In its positions as Cornerstones for both his Social energy and his Inner Soul energy, the A/1 doubles in strength and potency. Apolo is a force to be reckoned with.

The energies that complete the essence of his social energy include the P/8, which means he will be direct and determined in his undertakings and committed to his goals, and that success will be drawn to him, especially materially. The key to its lasting power will be dictated by his spiritual development and his level of compassion.

Connected to this energy is the power and opportunity presented in the openness of the O/7. Since he has two of these energies in his social essence, this makes an incredibly strong statement about how far he can go and how much he can accomplish—if he is open to it. Squeezed between these impressive vibrations sits the loving L/3. This indicates that no matter how involved Apolo may become in projects, organizations, and sports, he will always make time for family, friends, community, and assisting or motivating others. The 3 energy shows that his life is filled with activity and that his mind is never still.

Apolo is a rare blend of assertiveness, control, determination, receptivity, and attentiveness. Three 7 symbols appear in his first name—one in the upside-down L—and this can produce an interest in the unusual, the mysterious, or the metaphysical … an interest that pops up again and will likely grow over time.

While he may suffer a few drawbacks and controversy along the way, chances are good that Apolo will stand up to opposition and achieve his goals, an ability he has already demonstrated.

His Whole Name Number of 8 within the social arena can mean that some may view him as too focused on achieving and not enough on just being. The sub number here is 26, which speaks to a need to connect and be connected to people, places, or things in a deep and devoted manner. What others may occasionally perceive as controlling behavior is actually based on genuine concern for the people, places, and things he loves. Apolo likes things to be in order, which is also a characteristic of the 8. Given enough time and experience, he carries the potential to reach that rare level of spiritual and material balance that is inherent to the fully developed 8.

Inner or Soul Energy

ANTON (A/1, N/5, T/4, O/7, N/5) = 22
Master 22: The Builder

Apolo’s Inner or Soul energy is wired to his Lifepath and states fairly succinctly that the desire and motivation to build something of lasting value is exactly matched by his potential to do so while he is on this Earth plane. Since he has accomplished much in his life thus far, I would say that these two Master Builder vibrations are incredibly accurate and hold tremendous promise for future undertakings. The 22 has the ability and talent to design its own life, but must take care not to “color outside the lines” or build castles on sand. Foundations must be afforded the same amount of attention as the building itself; it will only be as secure as its pilings. This 22 also carries the same warning regarding careful observance of moral and ethical boundaries connected to successful 22 energies.

The A/1 Cornerstone of Apolo’s Inner Self holds the same drive and determination as his Social energy. (These two A/1 Cornerstones form a double whammy of originality, pioneering strength, tenaciousness, focused energy, and the natural inclination to keep going no matter what.) The conviction to achieve goals literally begins in his soul.

The energies that complete his Inner Soul include two N values, which fortunately soothe and calm the changes and eventfulness of their 5 values (despite the chaotic conflicts these outrageous number energies can cause) while the T and O just keep adding more thoughts, ideas, and options. The number 5 values emphasize the freedom that motivates Apolo—this is a base and core need that he will always have and in some odd way, always search for.

There is something else I must mention here and it concerns the double-2 values in the number 22. As oft-mentioned, double numbers have the potential to increase their energetic meanings or to create conflict in that particular area. In this case, the 2 theme in all of his subs and as a Master here can suggest difficulties in relationships; close, personal, and usually formative connections may hold challenging lessons. The Master vibration 22 has the power to suppress or express emotions, and they tend to suppress when they get the chance, which can lead to problems years later when foundations begin to crack. (I have noticed that major lessons are learned after the second run-through of name energies [unless the name is short], for the simple reason that we have been around a little longer and are a bit wiser by then by virtue of experience.)

Apolo’s Inner Self is the nucleus of his actions and paths taken on a social level. There is a deep and abiding conviction that his “building” will be built, which gives him a deep and abiding sense of self—as such, he will likely come across as confident, cheerful, receptive, and outgoing. He will have a fantastic imagination and enthusiasm to spare. This is a soul energy that is loyal, responsible, methodical, and dedicated.

Domestic Energy

OHNO (O/7, H/5, N/5, O/7) = 24/6

As you already know, last names are not as important as the first two names but can influence the formation of character, ethics, and so on. The ideal number vibration to have in this position is Apolo’s—his Domestic influence is the loving and nurturing number 6. This energy shows that there is a consistent and constant offer of support and caring, and a place to regroup when needed. The 6 is warm and safe and enduring; it is indeed the place of domestic bliss, which doesn’t mean everything was always peaches and cream—rather, it means that home was and will continue to be safe for Apolo.

The Cornerstone here is the O/7. We have already said enough about this letter and number energy; the only thing I want to add here is that since this is a domestic influence, the opportunities would have originated from within the family structure itself, in particular, from the male essence of the family unit. This is a natural salutation to Apolo’s father, Yuki.

The energies that make up the balance of the Ohno name are the H/5, N/5, and a final O/7. What is held in this essence is independent choice (H); freedom, artistic communication, sensory stimulation, changes and risk-taking (5); and the ongoing portals (O) or opportunities that seem to be awaiting Apolo.

Daily Name Number

APOLO OHNO (8+6) = 14/5

First sub numbers: 26+24 = 50

Apolo’s Daily Name is composed of the sub numbers 50 and 14 and total to 5. The sub number of 50 indicates that changes, freedom (personal and financial), communication, sensory input, and stimulation are important elements to him. The one thing that pops out here is the potential for fame—the 5 stands for this alone, but when the intensifier of the cipher is added, this potential becomes even more likely. Looking at his second (and most important) sub number calls to mind breaking ground, as the 14 reads as “force through foundations”, but 14 can also carry difficult frequencies within its structure, as this same force can apply to foundations such as family, job, health, and other basic aspects of life. Suffice it to say that Apolo Ohno as a Daily Name holds many changes that involve originality, determination, and pioneering breakthroughs as well as the sometimes chaotic changes and ongoing searches for sensory stimulation that the number 5 heralds. These ongoing changes are part and parcel of Apolo’s path and will assist him in getting where he wishes to be; the freedom-seeking 5 does not usually settle for a run-of-the-mill existence, and his life will entail a theme of changes, so anyone who contemplates hitching up to Apolo’s wagon had best understand and accept this before doing so.

Total Name Number

APOLO ANTON OHNO (8+22+6) = 36/9

First sub numbers: 26+22+24 = 72

Apolo’s Total Name Number is 9: Beginnings and Endings. What this means is that Universe gave him a heavy load to carry when he arrived—some emotional baggage may have accompanied him and manifested in the early years of his life. The 9 is the highest on the evolutionary scale before graduating to the Masters (a potential already present in the Master 22), holds all of the lessons to be found in the previous grades 1 through 8 and provides the toughest subjects and homework.

Number 9 is the artist, the empath, the spiritualist. It moves through life gathering different experiences, passing through circumstances, and joining and releasing friendships and other connections. This is a “moving on” kind of energy as its nature is to seek out more knowledge and more experience. There is a spiritual element here that is different in tone than the balance of the other energies in Apolo’s read—it suggests to me (again) that there may be a curiosity about the hidden side of life, which must be investigated if he is to realize the entire spectrum of the 9 essence. As mentioned previously, when there is a match between the Total Name energy (or the complete picture of one’s potential) and the Lifepath number, well, all I can say is that Apolo has the proverbial world by the tail. It is up to him what he does with it.

Lifepath Number

May (5) + 22 = 27/9

Day: 22 Master Builder

Apolo’s Lifepath number 9 shows that beneath the outer composure lies a soft, sensitive, and aware person. He may need to come to terms with an element of the past that involves immediate family and understand that all was as it should have been. He is destined to be a leader of some type: perhaps within his natural habitat of the worlds of art and vision and performance. While his head can appear to be in the clouds, his heart will always be in the right place and somehow, his feet will always be on the ground.

Born on May 22, Apolo’s Lifepath sub number is 27 (an interesting “mirror” of the sub for his Total Name Number) which was also his age when he won his 8th Olympic and record-breaking medal at the 2010 Games in Vancouver, British Columbia.

His sub number of 27 is interesting in that it shows the softer side of Apolo: the number 2 (which is oft repeated in his subs) represents friendliness, approachability, concern, kindness, and compassion. This is a nurturing essence, one who places considerable importance upon loyal friendships. Connections of 2 will likely permeate his work and personal life. The presence of the 2 indicates that heartfelt connections are as important as “reaching the goal.” The connected 7 points once more to the brain and its functions—logic and mystery are its primary interests. This 27 also holds the potential of units of 2 working together, using the functions of the brain to create something unique and memorable. This is something he has likely not yet fully realized because of his age.

Lifepath Day

Born on the 22nd of May makes Apolo’s specific entry energy 22—the Master Builder, which is identical to the energy vibration gifted to him by Universe on a Soul or Inner level. This kind of match, as I have already said, is ideal and fairly rare, and in this case, presents tremendous potential for success and material/spiritual gain because it springs from his Inner self and is propelled by a core desire or need. This gives Apolo extra intensity when it comes to creating, chasing, and actualizing his dreams. There is, however, a warning attached to this Master Number that calls for careful awareness of ethical and moral guidelines, which must be observed lest all that is built comes tumbling down. This message is doubled in his Inner Soul energy.

Highest Letter and Number Count

The highest volume of letter energies in Apolo’s chart is the O—he has 5 of these in his complete name. To say that so many O values in one name is unusual would be an understatement. This offers Apolo so many opportunities and doors to choose from that someone less focused may well be overcome by the voltage held therein. Once again, it would appear that the world is his Oyster … providing he commits to finding his pearl.

The highest volume of a number energy in Apolo’s chart is 7, which predictably connects back to the O values. Since 7 rules the brain, thoughts, plots, ideas, research, and anything else can make its home there. Apolo is sure to think things through very carefully before taking action. This would translate into someone who is highly intellectual and rational; however, the flip side of the 7 calls to the perhaps less scientific and controlled side of thought patterns. This call involves using his intellect to investigate the more mysterious side of life—a connection that keeps showing up.

Identity Initial Code

AAO (A/1, A/1, O/7) = 9

This set of initials displays the sheer drive of the first letter in the alphabet and the first number in the scale and brings to mind the speed and power and force of direction that Apolo’s chosen sport epitomizes. The A is the winner—the champion, the striver, and the one in motion—and two A charges in a row intensifies this force. However, here we also have an example of double energies (the two 1 values form a sub 11) and because of the possibilities of conflict of force, Apolo may occasionally fall down or crash or go off the rails and into the ditch, so to speak. These double A/1 values can create problems, setbacks, and misdirections along the way, especially if Apolo becomes distracted by the temptations of sensory stimulation that can be found throughout his name energies (5). The saving grace of this unit comes in the form of the O/7, which can be read as his destination: Open to all. The meaning of the O is almost unlimited; Apolo can look forward to opportunities that are “Olympic” in nature and, unlike the Games, hold no distinct parameters or time limits, other than those nature imposes.

The total of his initial code is 9 (which ties to his Total Name Number and his Lifepath number) and is illustrative of the theme “beginnings and endings” and also of deeply ingrained sensitivity, compassion, artistic talent (dancing, for instance), intuition, and spiritual awareness.

Words within Names

The most obvious connection here is the presence of the Greek God’s name (although it is spelled slightly differently; the double L values reflect the difficult love life of the mythical god Apollo) and also of Mount Olympus, the home of the Pythias Games. Those games are considered the forerunner to the modern Olympics and were, according to legend, created in honor of the god Apollo after he slew the giant Python at Delphi with his bow and arrows.

This energy vibration suggests skill and swiftness and is certainly applicable to Apolo’s social energies.

A rather humorous link exists in his middle name as well. Remember I mentioned all of the activity that goes on within Apolo’s brain and Inner Self? Well, the “Ant” is often noted as being one of the most industrious and organized creatures in the world—again, this energy matches the activity and construction held in his Soul energy.

And last but not least: “Oh, No!” This is a phrase most likely uttered when events like crashes into boards, disqualifications, and less-than-stellar performances occur—and most likely by his dad. Speaking of his dad, Yuki supposedly named his son based on Greek translations of “steering away from” and “look out—here he comes!” How absolutely true that application of energy became … it all but encapsulates the image of a speedskater.

Connecting Numbers

Since I do not have access to Apolo’s private number assignments, I can only comment on the 8 Olympic medals he has won and the name of his new line of health products, 8Zone. I would be remiss if I did not also add that it has been reported that he considers 8 to be his lucky number.

I wonder if he already knew that his Social energy vibration is an 8?

Leonardo da Vinci—
Artist, Inventor, Scientist: The Renaissance Man

This famous artist (the Mona Lisa and The Last Supper to name but a few of his contributions to the world of painting) was much more than a painter—he was a multi-talented and multi-layered gentleman whose interests ranged from dissecting and “mapping” the interiors of cadavers to the more sublime study of the movements, currents, and properties of water (which he also “mapped” in his treatise “Codex Leicester,” currently owned by Bill Gates). Leonardo was also an accomplished sculptor, draftsman, illustrator, architect, musician, scientist, and engineer whose desire for knowledge combined art with science, and produced wondrous results, all of which he attributed to “knowing how to see.”

Leonardo began his apprenticeship while still young and learned all about making canvas and brushes; grinding and mixing paints; carving in wood, clay, and stone; and casting in metal, silver, and gold.

After his apprenticeship, Leonardo went on to create his own history, which is still regarded with tremendous respect hundreds of years later.

The interior workings of things fascinated Leonardo—the investigation of those cadavers I just mentioned were done to expose the body’s functions and were based on curiosity and a genuine desire to know, rather than morbidity. The exact same level of care and attention were applied by Leonardo, whether creating intricate machinery or calculating the mathematical angles inherent in the creation of three-dimensional images on canvas.

His was an interesting, informative, and unique life, to be sure, but Leonardo also faced setbacks and disappointments: at least two of his major paintings remained unfinished because of suspected difficulties in the quality of the paints (since the restoration of The Last Supper, it is an acknowledged fact that very little of the original paint remains intact), including a commissioned piece for the Council Hall in Florence (1503) called Battle of Anghiari (which was to have greatly surpassed the size of The Last Supper) and another called Ledo, the sister painting, some say, to the Mona Lisa.

Another likely crushing disappointment had its beginnings with a commissioning from the Sforza dynasty around 1482: a gigantic horse was to be rendered and then cast in bronze. Leonardo spent approximately twelve years designing and molding the massive sculpture. It was eventually ready to be encased in bronze and would have been the largest sculpture of its kind at the time—a historic moment—when the threat of war intervened. Instead of the bronze being assigned as the crowning glory of Leonardo’s magnificent sculpture, it was instead used to fill cannon molds. The project was aborted and the war reduced the majestic clay horse to a pile of rubble. How painful that must have been for him.

Although Leonardo created thousands of pages of text and illustrations, none were ever published; consequently, the natural assumption was that Leonardo did not care one way or the other about publishing his works. However, marked in the margin of one of his last anatomy drawings is a notation regarding exactly that—an expressed desire for his works to be published. His devoted student, Melzi, did publish abridged versions of some of da Vinci’s work, but only after his death. This was perhaps another dream or desire he never realized.

So, here is a number 1 force who had to face challenges and new beginnings time and again—but who never gave up.

In true keeping with his double 7 values (see below), Leonardo was almost two-sided: he even wrote backwards (“mirror” writing, with his left hand); this duality was evidenced in many different ways. As an example, Leonardo loved beauty, art, and animals in all their forms and despised war, yet he also designed and invented intricate weapons specifically intended for use during war.

Further indication of Leonardo’s philosophical understandings of the worlds of science and the spiritual are echoed in his own words about his conceptions of forms, objects, and particular uses of anything within the realm of Universe as being dictated through “physical and spiritual motion.” It is almost as though he viewed everything from an objective point of view that just naturally incorporated the logical and the spiritual.

Perhaps the most telling statement on record regarding his view on painting (and likely his view of overall reality) is to be found in the following quotation:

The mind of the painter is transformed into a copy of the divine mind, since it operates freely in creating many kinds of animals, plants, fruits, landscapes, countrysides, ruins, and awe-inspiring places.

—Leonardo da Vinci (1452–1519)

This run through of his name essences will not go into quite as much detail as Apolo’s—I just find Leonardo’s numbers to be quite reflective of the man, his interests, his contributions, his art, and the impressive legacy he left behind—a primary goal of the number 1.

L	E	O	N	A	R	D	O		D	A		V	I	N	C	I
3	5	7	5	1	2	4	7		4	1		6	1	5	3	1

=7									=5			=7

Sub #	Total Name #
55
19/10	1

April	15	Sub #	Lifepath #
4	6	10	1

Once again, we are looking at a Total Name Number energy that matches the Lifepath Number energy. Energies like this are rarely held down; the Universe supports their endeavors in ways that are out of the ordinary, noticeable, and lasting. Considering this main energy is the Original Force of the number 1, this person who was Leonardo da Vinci had something, or a series of somethings, to do, be, or create, and he did so with admirable determination and over a vast domain and a period of many years. His life consisted of starts and stops and beginnings and endings (19), yet he was a force unto himself; everywhere he went or anything he did always left a legacy, one way or the other. Because of the strong influence of the 10, his was also a life that was destined to leave a mark, an imprint upon man in some way, big or smal—which he did.

Something worthy of mention is his first sub number: the Master 55 or the Master Genius, because he was a Master Genius in so many ways—even today, many of his illustrated mechanical “blueprints” and ancient devices can be copied and built, and they work just fine. Indeed, many of the items and products we consider relatively commonplace today actually began in Leonardo’s head and were first birthed under his pen. Found among his papers were sketches of (the first) motorcars, bicycles, (3-shot) machine guns, parachutes, tanks, and swinging bridges.

Whole Name Numbers

Social Energy

LEONARDO (L/3, E/5, O/7, N/5, A/1, R/2, D/4, O/7) = 34/7

Leonardo’s Cornerstone energy is the L/3, which means he experienced the love of something at an early age; this love could have come in any form and we do know from his history that it took the form of art and design. The numeric value of 3 lends the force of activity to both the brain and the body—Leonardo was likely always thinking about creation, even as a youngster. His curiosity about the things around him was probably intense and may have left him in a world of his own—others may not have been able to follow his endless changes in focus and shifts in attention.

The balance of the energies in Leonardo’s name begins with the sheer energy of the E/5, which simply exaggerated the love of his chosen topic(s), and such intensity could have easily become obsessive (this can manifest in relationships as well, but history shows that this was not Leonardo’s focus). The L is a forward-reaching and helping energy; it wants to “make better” and even heal. It was from this place that Leonardo observed the life around him—seeking its secrets by using his senses and learning how to translate or communicate what he saw, and the O/7 allowed him to see things from an entirely unique perspective (this energy phase would have been highlighted before and around age 15—the same time frame during which he began his art apprenticeship). The N/5 that follows would have introduced a variety of interests and fascinating sensory stimulations that would have been, fortunately, influenced by the calming nature of the N—many subjects would be introduced and all would have been given logical and impartial assessment—until the A phase kicked in. This “fresh start” offered Leonardo the experience and knowledge to begin his own career—he would have a direction upon which to focus (painting) thanks to the presence of the A/1. Unfortunately, the R/2 does indicate disappointments along the way, as already touched on, and also can indicate difficulties in intimate or loving relationships; Leonardo never married, nor is there mention of a significant other in his life. The follow-up D/4 points to doors opening and closing: relationships that are short, if at all, and projects ending before they were begun. It is said that Leonardo became quite disillusioned towards the end of his life (perhaps due to the emergence of younger, talented artists) but the final O/7 of his social energy speaks to the considerable legacy of knowledge and subjects of study he left to us.

Leonardo’s Whole Name Number is 7 and perfectly epitomizes his incredibly intelligent mindset, his logical thought processes, and his scientific outlooks. It also encompasses his spiritual side—this man looked at things from all sides and used both logical and spiritual angles when drawing, sculpting, or undertaking any expression of the thoughts and images in his brain.

It is likely that Leonardo was not readily understood by others. While they may have been impressed with his intellect and creativity, chances are good that he kept to himself and did not place too much value on the political side of social interactions. He may not have had much of an interest in socializing for its entertainment or social-status values, although he certainly did have ongoing and loyal relationships with both mentors and students. The descriptions of reserved, dignified, and well-respected most likely applied to this Italian Renaissance man quite nicely.

His Social sub number of 34 is a raw expression of the force of activity (3), which has the ability to “run through” or “destroy in order to rebuild” the foundations of the 4. This energy is one that can (and did) introduce new concepts, ideas, and practical applications that changed the conceptualizations and directions of mankind.

Inner or Soul Energy

Note: This is not actually his middle name; translated, this Italian word means “from,” and here it refers to where Leonardo lived—but it is part of his name energy and so must be looked at in analysis.

DA (D/4, A/1) = 5

The placement of the Door as Leonardo’s Inner Self is very appropriate here: the D/4 offers new vistas, concepts, inventions, and ways of relating to the other side of our normal perceptions, and the A/1 energy that follows applies solid force to projects found on the other side of the (opened) door and the determination to understand and master them.

The Whole Name Number of da totals to a 5, which underscores the two already found in his social nature. The Inner self of Leonardo da Vinci was likely filled with changing thoughts, sense impressions, and the desire to attain the “ultimate” in freedom through Universal truths and visions—images that were forever changing shape and content.

The inner soul of Leonardo was seeking and knocking; he likely did not think of himself in an overly personal way—as in my needs and wants. His sense of self was larger than most and was centered in his surroundings and what he could find there.

Domestic Energy

Note: Once again, this is not Leonardo’s birth name—it refers to the place he lived; however, its energies still apply.

VINCI (V/6, I/1, N/5, C/3, I/1) = 16/7

The Cornerstone of V/6 seeks victory and unity: it lifts up to the heavens, and its essence is loving and warm. Leonardo sought this kind of victory—the kind that opened all doors and allowed access to the perfection of the Universe. This is not to say that he attained it, merely that he never stopped reaching for it. One other significant meaning connected to the V is the search for the perfect mate—something da Vinci likely found in his love for science and art rather than in a particular person.

The balance of this name energy includes two I factors: here is the power of the intuition in full bloom. The connection between “out there” and “down here” is emphasized and, to Leonardo, this must have been an accepted part of his psyche, as the N/5 is once again present to offer calm in all undertakings. The C/3 calls for communication of all that is seen, perceived, intuited, and sensed, through whichever medium available, and the final I value at the end of the name energy ties back to the final O in Leonardo—the aim does not falter, the goal remains the same—to access and express all that lies within the human and the Divine brain.

Again, the Whole Name Number is a 7—more of the same energy that is held in his social energy. It all goes back to the brain, time and again—and that is where Leonardo lived, in his brain.

The sub number is 16, an energy that is motivated or pushed (1) through love or emotion (6). In this case, it would read as a positive force in search of positive energies, perhaps at the expense of intimate and domestic love such as that found between husband and wife.

Total Name Number

LEONARDO DA VINCI (7+5+7) = 19/10/1

First sub number (34+5+16) = 55 Master Genius

It seems so very fitting that this Renaissance Man’s gift from Universe came in the form of the breakthrough vibration of the numbers 19/10, 55/10, and 1. Certainly original, inventive, curious, and a force unto himself, Leonardo as a name energy embodies the diversity and electrical charge that drives this number’s Lifepath, which is to seek, comprehend, achieve, and create.

The 19 reads as one of the more forceful and barrier-breaking vibrations known; it is the combination of the beginner, the starter, the one who knocks on doors and is not held back by fear. The 9 indicates the various stages and projects explored and investigated; therefore, these two thrusting and cyclical energies come together to create new starts, pioneering developments, and insatiable curiosity, which is present in both the 10 and the 1 energies.

Leonardo was a force unto himself and to humankind as well, and may have been almost heaven-sent (or a gift from Universe?) in a way: his very essence, which is reflected in his Total Name Number and its subs is an exact match to his Lifepath and its subs. Because of the nature of the number involved, Leonardo da Vinci was simply power supreme when it came to forging the way.

Lifepath Number

April (04) + 15 = 19/10/1

Here again is the main connector between the Total Name Number and the Lifepath Number. When these two vibrations are on the same wavelength, anything is possible. Leonardo da Vinci is a prime example of what can happen when dynamic and identical energies merge. He also illustrates the truth of a numeric rule of thumb: number 10 energies tend to leave something behind that is of considerable value to mankind or even just to a select few.

His Day of Birth number 6 suggests that he was a loving soul who seemed to be undergoing constant shifts in his life. To me, it feels like his was a focused search for love, but not in a physical way—more in a spiritual or altruistic way.

Highest Letter and Number Count

Leonardo was interested in almost anything, and the energies in his name reflect a broad coverage in range as well. Five of his letter energies repeat themselves while each of the others counts as one each. The doubled energies of the A, D, I, N, and O comment on his unending curiosity, his seeking of knowledge, his intuitive connection, his calm nature, and his thirst for new and fresh options, information, and projects.

The highest number count goes to the 1, 5, and 7, which are also the exact numbers assigned to his Total Name, his Inner and his Social energies, respectively. These numbers speak to an original freedom seeker whose search involved the untried and unusual.

Identity Initial Code

LDV (3+4+6) = 13/4

Leonardo’s Identity Initials are LDV (3+4+6) and total to 13/4. The number 13 suggests unusual forces at play. Sometimes it has to do with karma, and other times it can indicate unusual and even mysterious forces. Remember the number 13 is a force of activity that is beyond powerful and that its electrical forces can produce fundamental changes for good and for ill—the 13 is that potent. In this event, Leonardo’s force of activity produced fundamental and lasting changes in the development and direction of humanity. A grandiose statement, but one that seems applicable here … which is a nice way to conclude my look at Leonardo’s energies.

Leonard DiCaprio—
Producer/Actor and Environmentalist

Many years ago, a young expectant mother wandered through the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy, marveling at the shadows and subtle depths in the art of Leonardo da Vinci. As she studied and wondered, the child in her womb reportedly delivered a kick worthy of an award. Perhaps this was a prediction of some sort, considering what her child went on to do with his life.

Apparently she didn’t forget that kick, either, for when the child came, she named him after the Master painter she had been studying at the time of this memorable kick. However, baby Leonardo’s path, though similar in many ways to the painter’s, would take him down very different roads—the first of which began in a drug-infested and environmentally polluted area of Los Angeles known as Echo Park, where life as a kid, to put it mildly, could be rather challenging. Leonardo even credited living in a neighborhood that overflowed with drug addicts and prostitutes with helping him form aversions to drugs and for highlighting and ingraining the realization that we as a people needed to become more aware of the damage we were doing to our Earth and her environment: his neighborhood was a smaller version of the bigger picture.

Although his parents separated shortly after he was born, they were both active in his life and encouraged him to pursue his interests, one of which became acting or performing. In fact, Leonardo’s first gig was on television’s Romper Room at the age of five. He was obviously enthusiastic about performing, for he went on to make plenty of commercials and several educational shorts throughout his teens.

Leonardo kept auditioning until winning the lead in a low-budget, straight-to-video horror film called Critters 3, which served as a springboard into landing a recurring role on the struggling sitcom Growing Pains, which succumbed to its slumping ratings the following season. But Leonardo’s reel was growing and that earned him an audition for This Boy’s Life, a true story based on the memoirs of Tobias Woolf and his abusive stepfather, played by Robert De Niro. Leonardo won the part over hundreds of other young hopefuls and, with the release of the film in 1993, he proved beyond a doubt that he was a seriously talented actor … and one to watch.

This was only the first in a series of roles that involved complex, confused, and conflicted characters. The kicker was and continues to be that the majority are centered more on true stories than on fictional ones, and the fictional ones are undoubtedly real somewhere in the world.

In 1993’s What’s Eating Gilbert Grape, Leonardo portrayed a mentally handicapped teenager with such conviction that he earned a nod from the Academy Awards as Best Supporting Actor. Two years later, he took on Total Eclipse, the true story of Arthur Rimbaud, a poet whose tortured life centered around his sexual preferences. Yet another character based in truth came to life on screen during that same time frame: The Basketball Diaries grew from the journals of Jim Caroll, a young basketball player who seemed destined for NBA success but who became addicted to drugs instead. Then came a role as a stylishly seductive gunslinger in the 1995 movie The Quick and the Dead, which offered yet another glimpse into the many faces of Leonardo the actor. His chosen roles were, to say the least, diversified and challenging, and with his shift in direction as Romeo in a modernized version of William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet in 1996, Leonardo became a sexy and convincing romantic leading man as well. His credentials grew, as did his fame; he seemed well on his way to success.

Then, in 1997, a gigantic steam ship named the Titanic plowed into Leonardo’s life and changed it forever. This time, his role was more traditional, as in a “boy meets girl, girl loses boy” kind of way, and for a while, Leonardo was literally on top of the world, and on the top at the box office. Titanic became the highest-grossing movie ever made at that time and currently sits second only to Avatar (2009).

A string of unremarkable “how the heck do we match that” films followed until 2002, when Leonardo delivered a remarkable portrayal of a real-life con artist in Catch Me If You Can. Once again, Leonardo landed at the top of the A-list, a position he cemented two years later by winning a Golden Globe award for his role as Howard Hughes in The Aviator.

Leonardo’s lifelong passion for environmental awareness, education, and protection began to take firm physical form as well. After narrating two films about environmental issues, he followed up by co-writing, co-producing, and narrating The 11th Hour, a full-length film that explores how human kind is negatively affecting the health and equilibrium of our planet. This film was previewed at the 2007 Cannes Film Festival and won favorable reviews. In March 2008, The 11th Hour was honored with the 22nd Annual Earthwatch Film Award. Leonardo has further demonstrated his commitment to this cause by serving on the boards of the Natural Resources Defense Council and Global Green USA and by forming websites that foster awareness of the true circumstances of our environment and its direction if change is not implemented and sustained soon. More recently, the World Wildlife Fund joined with Leonardo in a campaign called “Save Tigers Now,” which is specifically aimed at saving a small tiger family that stands on the edge of extinction, which, to me, offers a peek at his love for animals as well.

Leonardo is a thoughtful, pragmatic, reserved, talented, and focused man who has remained true to his lifelong interests in acting and in the environment and has transformed them into things that we can see and relate to as genuine. He has turned his childhood dreams into his reality. The one thing that really stands out for me is that Leonardo is substantial. He seems to prefer portraying real people with real challenges and real stories, yet his career is all about creating an effective illusion. This is the perfect illustration of the developed 7: the world of the intellect is tapped into just as deeply as the world of the imagination.

Leonardo DiCaprio is also the ideal example of the Master 22 energy at work: he has built a strong foundation from which to act, so to speak. This is a man with yet much to accomplish—things that have little or nothing to do with acting. This is a man to watch, for he is building his life into one worthy of note, which is exactly what his Lifepath number forecasts.

Here is a visual look at Leonardo’s energies.

Whole Name Numbers

Social Energy

LEONARDO (L/3, E/5, O/7, N/5, A/1, R/2, D/4, O/7) = 34/7

Have you ever wondered how two identical name energies might compare to one another? There will be many similarities between the two Leonardos, however, the true distinctions in personalities will become evident as we look at DiCaprio’s additional names, totals, and Lifepath energies.

That said, here comes Leonardo DiCaprio’s Social signature, and don’t be surprised if it sounds familiar. Quite familiar, in fact—but the difference lies in the details.

Leonardo’s Cornerstone energy is the L/3, which means, like the other Leonardo, that he knew early in life where his interests lay, and in his case, it was in the direction of performing and also in protecting the environment. The numeric value of 3 lends the force of extra activity to both his brain and his body; Leonardo was likely always thinking about creating or creation, even as a youngster. His active curiosity about the things around him was likely intense and may have been part of the reason he was politely kicked out of Romper Room at age five.

Both as a child and as an adult, Leonardo has always been influenced by the Cornerstone of the L/3. His instinct to be involved and active and to motivate or assist in any way will always be a strong part of his personality. Others will find him quite helpful, friendly, and open without being too aggressive or too personal. A deep part of the L/3 is not visible to outsiders, nor does it wish to invade the privacy of others.

The balance of vibrations in his name continues with the sheer energy of the E/5, which adds an extra boost to anything (or anyone) that he likes (L) and can lead him to make connections based on impulse or the desire to help. The L is notorious for helping the right people for the wrong reasons and the wrong people for the right reasons, which can understandably lead to crossed wires and, sometimes, hurt feelings. By the same token, this LE combination can give LEnding a hand a whole new meaning. Similar to da Vinci, Leonardo relies on his senses when learning how to translate or communicate what he sees or feels (5), and the O/7 allows him to see things and express himself from an entirely unique perspective (this original energy phase would have peaked around age 14, which would tie in with the time he began to be taken seriously in the world of performing—and it is also around that time that he landed his first agent). The N/5 that follows introduces a variety of possibilities and exploration of emotional and sensory stimulations that are, fortunately, influenced by the calming nature of the N; many directions are possible and all are always fully investigated and given careful and logical consideration and assessment before any commitment is made. The placement of the A/1 energy indicates that certain projects or plans can affect the direction of Leonardo’s life. The first time this energy kicked in was when he was 21—the year of the Titanic. The A/1 energy allowed him to “pull ahead” of the masses—in this case, using a ship rather than more traditional methods of transportation.

However, the follow-up R/2 phase does indicate disappointments along the way, particularly in the relationship department, and the D/4 doesn’t help matters.

Like da Vinci, Leonardo does not seem anxious to marry (by his own admission), and the RD energy might go a long way in explaining why and might have something to do with being slightly disillusioned. And again, like Da Vinci, the final O/7 of Leonardo’s social energy speaks to the considerable legacy he is building and the opportunities that still lie ahead; it is almost as though there are more important things on Leonardo’s mind than marriage and its parameters.

Leonardo’s sub number is 34—a steamroller kind of energy that can kick the legs out from under a chair and find a new way to build it that makes more sense. This is the same kind of energy as our first Leonardo and holds the same raw expression of the force of activity (3) driving straight through firm foundations (4). This energy is one that can introduce new concepts, ideas, and practical applications (7)—ones that can alter the direction of mankind or their behaviors and practices. Same message, different Leonardo.

Leonardo’s Social Whole Name Number is a 7 (as are both his Total and Daily Name Numbers), and strongly suggests someone who is intellectually developed and who looks primarily to logical thought processes when considering various actions and reactions. But it also encompasses his spiritual side: in order to bring his complex characters to life, Leonardo would have had to access a deeply emotional and spiritual well—something he has already proven to be quite adept at doing—but on a social level, it would appear that this is one well he keeps closed, or at least well guarded, unless he is with trusted friends. Then the lid might come off.

Inner Energy

WILHELM (W/6, I/1, L/3, H/5, E/5, L/3, M/4) = 27/9

While Leonardo DiCaprio, like most others, is not generally known by his middle name, it does give indications about his inner workings and essences. Here is a quick look at those energies.

The Cornerstone of W/6 speaks to riding the waves and the ups and downs of life while maintaining a stoic and even temperament, but it also shows the deep desire for closeness, as the 6 refers to love in all its forms. This energy indicates that Leonardo will likely have a solid circle of friends and intimates, most of whom will be lifelong or long-term connections.

The remaining energies that combine to form his Inner or Soul desires can be read as follows: the I of the intuition says that he reacts to those ups and downs by following his gut reactions and tries to appreciate the highs and lows of the roller coaster for what they are—part and parcel of life and lessons to be learnedL although the combination of L, H, E (double 5 values), and L can present a few interesting situations that might even set off a firework or two. (Notice the anagram within those letters?)

Looked at from an Inner, or emotionally-based point of view, the L/3 is, among other things, very connected to friendship, love, assisting, and moving forward, and since there are two in this letter run, these qualities are emphasized. When the first L leads to the H, it faces a choice: positive or negative (up or down), and because the L is usually a positive energy, it would tend to go with the flow, meaning Leonardo would be open and willing to engage emotionally. Once the connection is made, the E is encountered. This dynamo throws excitement, risk, challenge, change, and stimulation of the senses into the picture. The more contrary double 5 vibrations of the HE will introduce an element of conflict into any relationship, as its chief meaning is one of independence. Hence, loving and caring emotions may indeed be engaged, but whether Leonardo wants to become engaged may be another matter entirely.

There is an indecision of sorts within this name energy: part of it wants to climb that ladder, and the other part most definitely does not. The freedom of the 5 plays a key role—this is not an energy that performs well when tied down or hindered in any way, yet the Cornerstone of Leonardo’s Inner Soul energy seems to contradict this in that it holds domesticity as important and even necessary to inner satisfaction. As a concluding energy, the M/4 pictures someone who might prefer to remain on the emotional sidelines; helping out when necessary, but ultimately more comfortable keeping his emotions under wraps. I will just say this: it is likely that Leonardo’s affections have been both up the ladder to Heaven and down the ladder to Hell.

The Whole Name number for Wilhelm is 9 and signifies the theme of beginnings and endings. It reflects all of the soul experiences Leonardo has had and will have and points to a time when he will be ready to end something significant and begin something equally significant: the 9 is all about learning to understand that life itself is composed of a series of beginnings and endings that are designed to create and sustain the development of a truly good person. Once this threshold is reached, a certain freedom results. Leonardo is still a young man with plenty of room to grow; being the best he can be will take on many shapes and forms, and those will be up to him.

The sub number for this name energy is 27, which shows an ongoing connection of pairs—whether they be people, places, or things—that are attached to the investigation of thoughts or anything sourcing back to the operations of the brain, logical or otherwise. Leonardo is not what I would normally call overly impulsive, but he is someone I would normally call logical. Hence, deep thought will be assigned prior to any important decisions. This number shows that Leonardo’s peak performances will come through connections with others (2), and that an element of intellectual illusion and mystery (7) is also present. There is something here I have seen before, and it relates to two elements (or groups of pairs) coming together to produce something of note. This could easily be read as a joining of minds whose focus is on the bigger picture in which logic, science, and spirituality are combined. I am not sure exactly how this will manifest in Leonardo’s life, but it will definitely be something of note and perhaps of consequence that reaches far beyond the parameters of his own life.

Domestic Energy

DICAPRIO (D/4, I/1, C/3, A/1, P/8, R/2, I/1, 0/7) = 27/9

And here we have yet another unusual energy aspect: Leonardo’s Domestic energy is an exact match to his Inner or Soul energy. While not normally viewed as overly important in analysis because of the connection to the male hierarchy of the family unit, this match does indicate an influence that steadfastly supported Leonardo’s goals and interests. His domestic energy is like a mirror of sorts that is connected to his sense of identity. However, the essence of beginnings and endings also lends a continuous theme of separation from the family unit—and it is known that although his parents did divorce while Leonardo was still young, they also continued to play active parts in raising him and in honoring his desires and predispositions.

The Cornerstone for this domestic name is the D/4, an energy that presents choices in terms of which direction to pursue and which door to raise a fist to. This is a firm and grounded vibration (by virtue of the 4) that can be as stubborn as it is loyal.

The letter energy that follows the D suggests that when opportunity knocked, the door was answered rather than ignored, and revealed a land of imagination, esoteric knowledge, and illusion in which the intuition played a key role (I/1: this energy is confirmed and strengthened by later repetition). This world of the imagination in turn reaches the C/3, which almost demands communication through its “open mouth”: any form of entertainment falls under its domain, but focus is required in order to bring this entertainment to life—that is supplied by the A/1, and the potential for success and power is on offer via the P/8.

Unfortunately, the R/2 also shows trials and tribulations in close relationships, which can manifest in intimate or family realms, especially during formative years; this is when later adult patterns are set. The saving grace of this name energy is to be found in the second I/1 and in the O/7: these two energies are intuitive, progressive, open-minded, incredibly smart, discriminating, and objective.

The Whole Name energy for DiCaprio is another 27/9, which shows an advanced energy at work within this unit despite the theme of starts and stops, or separations. It almost reads as a blueprint that was drawn out once, then attempted again at a later point in time.

Leonardo succeeded based on the general blueprint laid down by his domestic name.

Daily Name Number

LEONARDO DICAPRIO (7+9) =16/7

First sub numbers: (34+27) = 61

Total Name Number

LEONARDO WILHELM DICAPRIO (7+9+9) = 25/7

First sub numbers: (34+27+27) = 88 Master Success (16/7)

The reason I have listed these two calculations together is because they both total to the same number energy. The 7 is magickal in its applications. It can bring very good luck and very bad luck. In Leonardo’s case, its influence is positive, and with the supportive sub number of 88, the sky’s the limit.

Either way you slice it, Leonardo DiCaprio is a 7 energy—a very close link to our first Leonardo, whose Social and Domestic energies are also 7. What this means is that the gifts Universe gave DiCaprio when he arrived are being perfectly pursued in his daily life. He is following his path rather faithfully.

The 7 is ruled by the brain and is very articulate, intellectual, reserved, and dignified. Those who fall under its influence are often not truly known by others and are very private in general. The 7 has an exceptionally vulnerable interior that it works very hard at hiding or sometimes manages to suppress altogether. So, despite an outer appearance that may seem a little distant, Leonardo is actually very sensitive and compassionate. He is also, in many ways, very much like his namesake.

The sub numbers here are reversals of one another: his Total Name sub number shows as 16 while his Daily Name sub number (the one more commonly used) shows as 61. What this means is that the same vibrations are present in each; however, his Universal gift shows the force of love, the ability to break through emotional walls (16), while his work on the Earth plane shows the love from which a new force flows (61).

Lifepath Number

November (11) + 11: 22 Master Builder

Day: 11 Master Intuitive

Once again, the Master Number energy potential is made evident and, in this case, quite directly. This Master 22 is actually formed by two Master 11 vibrations. The Master 11 (or Intuitive/Visionary) lives in the world of imagination, illusion, esoteric truths, progressive tactics, and mystery; doubling this energy affords the 22 a phenomenal reach in terms of visions and plans and their implementation here in the Earth plane. Translated, this means that Leonardo has the ability to implement change on a vast and considerable level; he could well become one of the leading forces behind the movement to protect the planet.

Once again, the Master 22 warning assigned to all who carry this energy must be mentioned. Awareness of the boundaries and parameters of proper conduct is paramount, as the high-level material wealth and success this vibration holds can lead to dramatic downfalls should this power be misused in any unethical way. Not that I think Leonardo needs this admonition. It just has to be said.

Lifepath Day

Leonardo’s specific entry is marked by Master 11. Quite frankly, this means that he is naturally connected to energies other than his own. It will be his lesson and challenge to harness and direct his intuition and to honor the unseen and his own (perhaps suppressed) desire to investigate the mysteries of life.

Highest Letter and Number Count

Leonardo’s highest letters show a tie between the energies I, L, and O. This would translate into a man who is more intuitive than he would perhaps care to admit and that this instinct guides him in many conscious and even subconscious ways. He is motivated to motivate; he is a born leader who would support his words with actions. More than that, Leonardo is an open soul and a natural helper and sees opportunities or options that are perhaps sometimes not visible to others.

Leonardo’s highest number count shows a tie of 5 each between numbers 1 and 7, which increases the strength of each number five times. Thus, the Original Force of the number 1 is akin to hurricane-force winds, and the activity in the brain is equal to the brainstorm of the century. Put in gentler terms, these numbers read as someone who is actively seeking the truth in all things.

Identity Initial Code

LWD (3+6+4) = 13/4

And here is yet another connection back to Leonardo da Vinci—both Leonardos share the identical Identity code: 13/4, which allows access to the considerable power and mystery of the number 13: its presence usually suggests a frequency force that can produce quite noticeable results, both for good and ill. The number 13 is a force of activity that is beyond powerful, and its electrical forces can produce fundamental and permanent changes. In this case, Leonardo’s force of activity is only beginning to produce fundamental and lasting changes in the area of greatest concern at the moment and could very well develop into a game plan that affects and directs the future habits of humanity. Another grandiose statement perhaps. Or perhaps not. Look at how this letter code can be read: the activity of body and mind (3) that is motivated by love and concern (6) and is of a foundational and fundamental nature (4). The result? A super-charged activity level (13) that effects/changes/improves the very elements of our home, the Earth (4).

Words within Names

This is just too much fun to pass up—aside from the obvious “Leo,” which makes me think of a lion—Leonardo also shows something interesting in his Inner name. Think of being at the HELM of a ship. Then think of the famous Titanic shot. The word CAP in DiCaprio also caught my attention and Leonardo is known for wearing baseball caps, but in particular, for wearing different caps to different games—and their selections seem to have more to do with their design appeal than with supporting either team playing. It just seems that he picks the one that matches his mood on any given game day.

If you can do what you do best and be happy, you’re further along in life than most people.

—Leonardo DiCaprio

Drew Barrymore—
Producer/Actor/Director/Model/Spokesperson

Here is someone who became a superstar by age seven and a drug addict by age ten. Drew Barrymore presents the most remarkable success story—one that began when most kids are still playing childish games in school.

Drew Blyth Barrymore was born February 22 (there’s that Master Number again), 1975, in Culver City, Los Angeles, to separated-and-later-divorced parents Jaid, an aspiring actress, and John Barrymore Jr., an addicted actor who lived the life of a hippie.

With her birth into the Barrymore clan came instant mini-celebrity status and an almost-preordained entry into the world of show business. At eleven months, Drew completed her first television commercial, and at five earned her first big-screen credit alongside William Hurt in Altered States. But it was not until the release of the blockbuster E.T.: The Extraterrestrial (1982) that she gained national exposure. The cherubic and charming darling of this larger-than-life fantasy not only became an overnight sensation, she also began attending evening parties and popular nightclubs (often in the company of her mother) such as Studio 54 and the China Club, a turn of events that hardly missed the ever-attentive eyes of the media. A youngster out partying with adults was rather conspicuous, to say the least. After a few years of this mystifying behavior, Drew was labeled by the press as a “bad girl,” an out-of-control “wild child,” and she became more of a curiosity than anything else.

During the years that followed, Drew grew from prepubescent child to complicated teen, and the two were hardly alike. While she might have found the over-the-top attention delightful to begin with, these celebrations had soon taken on nightmarish overtones. Drew had become addicted to the readily available “party favors” and eventually found herself fighting an apparently losing battle.

At the age of fourteen, after a few failed attempts at sobriety, Drew communicated her distress in a rather straightforward manner: she cut her wrists. Fortunately, not only did she survive, she went on to gain control of her addictions within the year and followed up by petitioning the court for a “divorce” from her mother. Once recognized as a legal adult, Drew was free to manage her own career, financial affairs, and life in general.

By the age when most teens are tentatively exploring the real world beyond the rather sheltering walls of school, Drew Barrymore had already achieved super stardom, partied with celebrities galore, traveled to the core of addictions, been exposed to all manner of negative media publicity, survived a suicide attempt, conquered her dependencies, divorced her mother, and co-written a bestselling book entitled Little Girl Lost, about her life and her addictions. It was published just three weeks shy of her seventeenth birthday.

Her sheer strength of will and determination to gain control were key to her successes of the time—successes that were destined to continue.

In a rather shrewd move, Drew followed the release of her book by capitalizing on her bad-girl image: she took on her first leading role by portraying a beautiful, bewitching, seductive, and very bad girl in 1992’s Poison Ivy (which also featured Leonardo DiCaprio). Although it did poorly at the box office, it did spawn two additional Poison Ivy films, but most importantly, at the time, it did what it had been designed to do: it re-introduced Drew to the public, but as an adult this time. Indeed, the child had morphed into a sexpot. To fortify this new image, Drew went on to pose nude for Interview magazine and continued to accept roles that required nudity and sensuality like Doppelganger (1993) and Bad Girls (1994). Also in 1994, Drew married bar owner Jeremy Thomas, a union that lasted less than two months.

Her notoriety spiked when on April 12, 1995, during a guest appearance on the David Letterman show, she hopped onto the host’s desk, did a little dance and, with her back to the audience, flashed her (unwrapped) birthday present at the rather stunned but gracious birthday boy.

During that same year, Drew appeared nude in Playboy, which her godfather, Steven Spielberg, appeared to take serious exception to. For her twentieth birthday, he sent her a quilt, a note, and the spread from Playboy … all three bearing the same theme. The quilt read “cover yourself up,” as did the note, and the pictures spoke for themselves—they had been artistically altered to cover her up. Almost by design, Drew’s focus did seem to shift shortly thereafter.

Within months, Drew had formed her own production company called Flower Films with her friend Nancy Juvonen. After 1996’s Scream, she began to aim at lighter roles, romantic comedies like The Wedding Singer (1998) and EverAfter (1998), which showcased her talents in completely new and refreshing ways while also revealing her penchant for comedy. She bumped it up a notch in 2000 with her role as Dylan Sanders in a revival of the old television series Charlie’s Angels, which her company co-
produced. The film was a smash hit with audiences and helped to establish Flower Films as a viable entity and Drew Barrymore as a woman of distinction.

Drew’s second attempt at marriage took place in 2001, when she wed comedian Tom Green. Unfortunately, it too did not prove lasting: they divorced a short time later. More films and projects followed as well, and, in February of 2004, Drew was recognized as a Barrymore in her own right—she was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. This was also the year during which Drew reconciled with her dying father, whom she had rarely seen as a child or while growing up; some things had come full circle.

Since then, Drew has been involved on various levels in various projects and is acknowledged and recognized as a multi-talented, irrepressible, and creative force in the entertainment industry.

In 2007, Drew became the new face of Gucci, signed a lucrative deal with Cover Girl as a model/spokesperson and as co-creative director of the initial campaign, and was featured on the cover and in the top spot of People’s 100 Most Beautiful. Later, she directed her first film, 2009’s Whip It, which Flower Films also co-produced. Already the recipient of dozens of nominations and independent awards, in 2010 Drew saw sophisticated acknowledgment of her talent: she won both a Golden Globe and a Screen Actor’s Guild award for her part in HBO’s Grey Gardens.

One of the most important aspects of Drew’s off-screen life began in 2005 when she made the first of two journeys to Kenya to view the plight of those living there. In 2007, the World Food Programme (WFP) named Drew as their Ambassador Against Hunger and on March 3, 2008, during an appearance on Oprah, Drew announced a personal donation of one million dollars to the organization, which suggests a heart that is obviously as open as her pocketbook. She also works with Much Love Animal Rescue. Compassion for the less fortunate is evidently a built-in commodity when it comes to this Piscean heart, but so too is promoting personal power, which she has done by working with organizations focused on encouraging young people to vote.

Despite dealing with situations and emotional trenches deep enough to drown a full-grown adult, this sweet child star went on to become one of the most captivating, charming, recognized, respected, admired, and successful women in the world. Here are the reflections of this resolute energy in numbers and letters.

Day of Birth: 22 Master Builder

As in previous samples, I am immediately drawn to the two Master Number elements in Drew’s chart: one as her Total Name Number or Universal Gift, and the other as her Day of Birth, or the specific energy upon which she was “delivered.” These Master 22 Builder essences are undoubtedly responsible for her ongoing drive to create: to build and to manifest what she sees as appropriate for her and for others. (You have surely noticed the many 22 energies contained in these sample reads? This serves to underscore the validity of the power held in Master Numbers: oftentimes, chosen careers or actions will result in fame; 22 is the architect who just cannot stop building, and the primary goal is to reach a level of achievement that allows assistance to be offered to others.)

If one looks further into the elemental 4 that the 22 operates as when not “on,” it becomes evident that this energy carries significant impact in Drew’s life and its construction. In addition to standing as her Social Cornerstone, it is also doubled to 8 in several places (including in her Identity Initials and her Social and Domestic Whole Name Numbers) and elevated to Master 22 in others. The 4 refers to the basic fundamentals of life and how strong they are or become—it plays with the building blocks of life. This feels as though Drew had to lay her own foundations in spite of or perhaps because of the strength of her family name. And she has done so. And will continue to do so.

A final connective note comes in the shape of the 6. This loving, nurturing, compassionate, and caring energy sits at the core of Drew’s being (in her Soul energy or middle name) and is also her Lifepath Number. Drew is here to learn how to pinpoint, define, and experience personal true love—and will have to undergo all of the pain, confusion, and joy such a journey entails.

Whole Name Numbers

Social Energy

DREW (D/4, R/2, E/5, W/6) = 17/8

Drew’s social Cornerstone energy assigns her the resoluteness, strength, and tenacity the D/4 represents. As you know, the D is the Door and it can stand open just as easily as closed; it represents the ins and outs of opportunity while its companion, the 4, often refers to family and foundational issues. Since this energy is her “welcoming” one, so to speak, it can portend difficulties in terms of fundamental issues within the home—for Drew, some doors were open while others were closed and destined to remain that way. The divorce of her parents and absence of her father kept two of those doors firmly closed (she rarely saw her father before their already-mentioned reconciliation and therefore did not have the opportunity to watch healthy interactions between loving parents).

Since the Cornerstone will always exert influence over the entire energy dynamic, this D will both help and hinder Drew. It is not an overly movable essence, but it can instill the Drive and Determination required to break down obstacles and blocked passages. Despite her cheerful demeanor, Drew is actually very much influenced by the 8 (a double 4) of her Whole Name Number. This gives her the power, authority, and intelligence to succeed materially, and by jumping ahead to her Inner Soul energy, which is that of the loving number 6, it becomes clear that Drew has the ability to reach a rare position: that of a spiritually and materially balanced energy, which is the goal of the developed 8. When engaged, this is the energy state in which anything becomes possible and, indeed, probable. Having two of these energies (Social and Domestic) can introduce some conflict, yes, but that is on a more personal familial level and is something Drew herself will come to terms with in her own way … and maybe she already has.

The balance of her Social energies are the R/2, E/5, and W/6. The presence of the R/2 is not an initially overly optimistic vibration: this is the one that refers to the successful formations of lasting and resilient relationships—from family members to friends to lovers—and the conflicts, tests, and indecisions attached to them. The R/2 cores back to our very first (usually parental) connections and relationships and the forms they took, or didn’t take. These core patterns are reflected in our adult relationships and can put us through rather severe challenges until we make peace with their role models.

Drew’s first run-through of these energies would have taken place from birth to around age 6, and then came the E/5 or an explosion of epic proportions (E.T.). But that was then. On a daily basis, this E represents Drew’s bubbly, excited love of life and her eager embrace of new and different things, ideas, and even people. She values her independence, likes to be self-supporting, and enjoys stimulation of all kinds. Her life is and always will be prone to changes, which she actually welcomes. Boredom is not something Drew will put up with for long; she really is the free spirit that she seems to be. This love of life and certain impulsiveness is likely what led her to agree to two brief marriages and supports the fact that the R/2 and E/5 is not an overly fortunate combination of energies, especially on the romantic front. The E takes the “testing” of the R (partnerships, marriages, close connections) to new levels, and experiencing these periods is not what I would call particularly reassuring. But once Drew has been through a variety of different styles and types of relationships and has learned her likes and dislikes and her rights and wrongs within them, she will find her place and her true-love connection; for once the lessons have been learned and accepted, the R rolls in Recovery, Redemption, and Refreshing Rewards, which normally manifest as newfound relationships that make the whole lesson worthwhile.

The final W/6 brings us to the emotional ups and downs of its proverbial roller coaster and refers to the peaks and valleys, the negatives and positives that are found in all emotional attachments. Drew is all about connections made and connections lost, but she is not one to give up. She will hang on and ride it out, but only if it is something she feels is worth hanging on to, for whatever reasons. The most common of these will be out of loyalty. The W sticks around if trust is involved no matter how rough the trip. Not surprising since the W is represented by the Waters of love and emotional ties. Its presence is reassuring in this name energy, as it is indicative of long-lasting companionships that are based on cooperation and dedication. Drew is likely to have several committed friends and even business connections who will stick around through thick and thin—like Drew herself will.

Drew’s Social Name Total is an 8, as is her Domestic, or last name. Double 8 values carry enormous power and potential; however, as already touched on, there is also the probability of conflict (which in this case would be carried between her Social persona and her Domestic roots), which can only be neutralized if the balance point between the two is found. Despite the power held in both names, I feel there is a need for complete distinction between the two, and therein may lie the contradiction or conflict.

Drew likes to be in control, but in a gentle way, and she does not respond well to those who tag onto her because of her name rather than who she is as a person. So there can be a bit of a conflict for Drew herself—between who she is as a person and who others might expect her to be because of the Barrymore name.

The goal of the developed 8 is to reach a plateau upon which the elements of life are equally distributed, or balanced, and that includes everything from Drew’s friends to her relationships to her (spiritual) state of mind. Mind over matter. And her Social Number energy is supported by her brain, her mind, and her thought processes. The sub number 17 (the force of the brain) lends Drew the ability to detach emotionally and to apply logic to any given situation or circumstance—an admirable ability for one so soft-centered. While the 17 is hardly a weak-willed number, it is also one that invites investigation into the deeper and quieter realms of the imagination: reality and illusion; fact and fiction; life and death. Drew will likely find her interests in those areas growing over the years; after all, her Daily Name is the magickal number 7.

Inner Energy

BLYTH (B/2, L/3, Y/1, T/4, H/5) = 15/6

Again, this is not a name that Drew is commonly known by, but it does reveal a more detailed look at her Inner or Soul energies.

The Cornerstone of this name is the B/2, which translates into the search for the “other half” or the perfect union. However, since it is also a “closed’ energy, there can also be a certain withholding when it comes to relationships (the number 2 is the strongest number element in Drew’s chart, which we will see later). So while at heart Drew is ruled by the duality and normal disagreements that arise in any kind of union, she is also a very loving and giving energy (L/3).

At the very core (or heart) of her Inner essence is the Y/1, that fork in the road. The first time she would have experienced this change in direction would have been just prior to the release of E.T.—an event that changed her life and its direction in no uncertain terms, which is the precise meaning of the Y. But this letter energy can also indicate another situation altogether. The Y can point to an uncertainty, a confusion; a “which way do I go” type of energy. Since it follows the BL, it almost reads as in order to find her true BLiss, Drew may well choose an untraveled or just different road or direction at some point in her life, and this will likely involve something to do with her personal life and its contents. (The B and L are emotionally charged and loving energies having to do with expressions of caring and the willingness to give.)

The balance of her Inner Soul energies are the T/4 and the H/5. While the T throws additional and increasing forces into the mix and thereby underscores the undeniable changes any shift in direction might bring, the H is where she will likely face something having to do with commitment to her chosen direction, however it might manifest.

The Whole Name energy of Blyth is an exact match to Drew’s Lifepath: the domestic and nurturing number 6. However, her sub number here is quite telling in that it forecasts the “force of changes” (15), which are necessary in order for this love energy to fully manifest itself. Since 5 is also connected to fame, it is likely that she will find her soul mate within that realm, but this sub number can influence the 6, making it more likely that a soul connection will take time simply because its essence is one of constant change.

Drew is nothing if not a true “love bug,” which is my favorite expression for one under the domain of the 6. She is kind, soft-hearted, sensitive, open, approachable, compassionate, and generous, and because her Lifepath is also a 6, she is here to experience the truths about love in all its forms, whether they include art, music, fine foods, nature, or people. Drew is destined to seek out and experience the best of the best.

What makes her different from other 6 energies is that she is ruled by its formative energies of 2, which means people are important to her—and this means all people, not just those within her circle. The following L is, as already mentioned, a giving and helpful energy. She will want to (and already has) reach out to help others. Not because she feels obligated, but because helping others lies at the core of who she is.

Domestic Energy

BARRYMORE
(B/2, A/1, R/2, R/2, Y/1, M/4, O/7, R/2, E/5) = 26/8

Once again, we are looking at yet another B/2 as a Cornerstone, so the same energy of Drew’s Inner Soul is connected to her family hierarchy—in particular, to the male history attached to the name. The duality and sometimes “closed” energy of the B points once more to the process of finding and blending with the perfect mate and achieving balance in relationships by learning how to compromise. There are four 2 values in this name and three of them are the relationship-oriented R. (Worthy of note is that two of these form a Subtle Master 22, a possible indication of conflict within the family’s core unit and also of the position of the family within its community, which would mean that the outside view of the family was likely one of status and accomplishment.)

So while the Domestic name is not usually of major import in analysis, this case stands as a bit of an exception, the reason being that the family history itself is significant and that Drew also carries the identical Total Name energy in her Social or first name: double 8 values show a power struggle of sorts. It is as though, on some level, Drew may feel the need to establish herself in no uncertain terms as a breed apart (from her famous relatives)—to establish herself as her own unique entity and talent that is not connected to or spun-off from another thread. This does not mean she desires to separate from her family or its history, rather, that she is her own person with her own history and talents and wishes to be accepted and recognized as such.

The presence of four 2 values (one of them a Cornerstone) makes a strong statement regarding core relationships and the patterns set long ago and their affects upon Drew when it comes to forming new and successful ones. This theme was introduced to Drew even before she was old enough to understand what was missing from her young life and has shown up so many times in her read that it is impossible to ignore.

One likely cause of relationship issues is to be found in the center of the Barrymore name itself: the Y/1 is the fork in the road and reads as a point of departure or separation, whether by choice or by force, and often manifests as break-ups and divorces. The Barrymore clan shows a history of divorces, including Drew’s great-grandfather, Maurice Costello (who shares Drew’s birthday, by the way), who married twice; her grandfather, John Barrymore, who married four times; and her own father, John Drew Barrymore, who married three times. Drew herself followed suit by marrying and divorcing twice before the age of 28. When found in the center of a Domestic name, the Y/1 is not representative of a stable core energy.

The balance of the vibrations in Barrymore include the A/1, M/4, O/7, and E/5. The A offers focused ambition; the M can gloss over details and hide many things; the O presents plenty of opportunity; and the E just adds extra energy to the entire picture. But the one thing that is consistent within this name energy is its commitment to love, as shown in the sub number 26.

Once more, the final comment on this name energy is summed up in the powerful and oftentimes controlling vibration of the 8, which can be read two ways: one will either have the control and lose it or have the control and keep it, something that seems to apply especially to the male figures in this family as both scenarios have occurred.

Drew Barrymore has the power, the control, and the means to attain material evidence of success, and she also has the compassion the fully developed 8 requires in order to keep it. If the spiritual road is further pursued, she is poised to step into its fullest and finest spiritual potential, and as such, she is, indeed, a breed apart.

Daily Name Number

DREW BARRYMORE (8+8) = 16/7

First sub numbers: (17+26) = 43

Drew’s Daily Name is a unique combination of double
8 values, as already noted. This supplies her with vast
opportunities for both material and spiritual gain, authority, and status. It also forms a Subtle Master Number (88—Master Success). Similar to Leonardo DiCaprio, Drew has the ability to succeed beyond her own wildest dreams. Anyone who has seen Drew on film or being interviewed already knows that her heart is as big as they come, which is a necessity before the positive and fully formed 8 will realize the immensity of the fortune laid at its feet. Drew does carry the capacity to understand the temporariness of “things,” and since her Lifepath reflects the open and true heart of a lover (as opposed to a fighter), she has one of the highest chances of experiencing the awesome serenity and success that accompanies true and lasting personal satisfaction.

The first sub number of Drew Barrymore totals to a 43, which suggests foundations already in existence (4) that are rearranged, recreated, and rebirthed (3). This is indicative of mind over matter. Drew’s presence of mind helped her to restructure her life in spite of patterns and examples already set.

Her Main sub number of 16 shows the gentle undercurrents that will tend to lead her towards her goal rather than away from it; the “force of love and ability to break through walls” of the 16 energy is what motivates her. Drew is a force unto herself who has the power and determination to break through cycles and boundaries. This is one lady who has the ability to do tremendous things, and is another worth watching since she is still young and her future is unwritten.

Drew’s Daily Name is a 7, fitting, I think, as that was her age when everything changed—forever. On a more contemporary note, she is at once a blend of enticing mystery and careful planning, which is evident when one looks back over the decisions she made and the directions she took following her near fall from grace as a child. The mind is a compelling tool and Drew knows how to use hers. She is much more intellectual than she perhaps lets on and can be reserved and somewhat distant at times, but that is when she does her deepest thinking. Since the 7 is of a dual nature and its lesson is to honor both sides of the brain, she is likely as open to her intuition as she is to the unusual, the unique, and the esoteric. There is an odd contrariness to the 7: one half is strictly practical and proper while the other is fascinated by the world of metaphysics and spirituality. There is much more to this lady than anyone realizes or can even see. Beneath her bubbly exterior lies a brilliant, imaginative, and highly progressive mind that is intrigued by many more topics than anyone might ever suspect.

Total Name Number

DREW BLYTH BARRYMORE (8+6+8) = 22 Master Builder

First sub numbers: (17+15+26) = 58/13/4

We have seen the Master 22 fairly often in this short list of samples; often enough to gain a clearer understanding of its elevated energy potentials and the results thereof. This is indeed the number of building, of constructing, of foundations that are firm enough to hold whatever is added to them. This number is often found in the lives of celebrities, whether they belong to the entertainment world or another department of social interaction. When utilized correctly and not taken for granted or ignored, this vibration
will leave an imprint upon our reality. The potential for larger-than-life impressions and legacies is likely and even probable among strong 22 energies.

Universe gifted Drew Barrymore with the ability to dig deep, to manifest, to deliberately use her brain and her will to create something real and tangible for others to enjoy. In her case, this translates in a variety of ways, from entertaining to providing a role model for those addicted. Her struggles of youth and her victory over them provides an upstanding example of courage, dedication, and faith while her continued personal achievements and work with the less fortunate cements her growing reputation as a person of moral and ethical standards who is worthy of note and respect.

Her sub numbers of 58, 13, and 4 are commentaries that can be read thusly: the fame game was one she needed to, at a young age, gain control over in a lasting way (5 = fame and 8 = control) and the 13 offered her two options—to follow the karmic lead of her forefathers or to gather the “force of actions/activities” close to her heart and make her own decisions.

The final message of the 4 brings us back to the observations made at the start of Drew’s read. The number 4 and its various shapes found throughout her analysis indicate that Drew Barrymore had a choice: build her own foundations or follow the blueprints laid out by some of her ancestors.

Thankfully, Drew chose to lay her own foundations.

Lifepath Number

February (02) + 22 = 24/6

Day: Master 22 The Master Builder

Drew’s Inner Soul essence is firmly anchored to her Lifepath, which means, in simple speak, that her heart’s desire (experiencing the reality that love is found through helping/loving others) is exactly in line with the reason she is here—to understand the various intricacies of love and the many forms it takes and to learn that attempting to label or organize or compartmentalize love is a losing proposition. It is what it is.

Drew is destined to follow her heart wherever it may choose to lead her, and although she must surrender to those inclinations, she must also recognize her own limitations. Put another way, she must also learn not to lose herself in the process.

The sub number of 24 comments further on the foundations created by units of 2—Drew has built her world into large groups of connections, each with its own function but to which the same loving energy of the 6 is applied.

The number 6 is very appreciative of and drawn to all things beautiful. They value a splendid painting as much as a fine piece of crystal and often prefer to present themselves as nicely as possible. Drew Barrymore is a work of art—one that has yet to be completed.

Day of Birth: 22 The Master Builder

Much has been already addressed in regard to this Master Number Universe gifted to Drew (as reflected in her Total Name Number). It is also the specific energy upon which she traveled into this world. Drew has the tools and the imagination required to build her life as she sees fit, and fame and fortune have already found her. The only direction she is likely to continue building is up, which is why the following caveat bears repeating.

Since Drew has done a large amount of her own life construction, I doubt there is cause for concern; however, one final time, it must be said. The warning is simple and to the point: once significant achievements have been made, attention must still be paid to the base (or basement) structures, which are commonly seen as ethics or morals. These base elements, if not properly maintained, can easily shift, and we all know what can happen if buildings shift off of their bases. Again, not something I believe Drew has to worry about, but worth mentioning. The extreme powers held in Master Numbers can swing both ways—sometimes unexpectedly.

Highest Letter and Number Count

The most potent letter energy in Drew’s name is the R/2. The Barrymore name, which is heavy in R energy and points to difficulties in relationships, has been recognized and celebrated for over a century, and its energy influences witnessed by millions. The high rate of divorces and separations and battles with drugs and alcohol within the family were common knowledge. Drew is also under the R/2 influences, but she has traveled through them several times and has come out a survivor.

The one thing I do want to reiterate about the R is its resuscitative and restorative qualities. Once the root lesson of understanding the rights and wrongs involved in any personal relationship (whether it be with the self or with another) is at long last learned and assimilated, the R can also present a time of refreshing rebirth and release. This usually occurs a little bit later in life as the R transits are difficult ones to truly master. However, it is also usually then that most hard-working R energies will finally find their soul mates … in the mirror first and then in the physical form of another.

Fittingly enough, the highest number energy is the 2, which ties in with the R/2 but with an additional message. The 2 is not complete if it is only 1. The 2 needs its other half. That is the focus of the 2: to join, to unite, and to balance the picture. Drew is a people-person who likely has an extended family, which is perhaps even larger than her own. She needs to love and, like everyone else, to be loved. As such, she is open and willing to learn about interactions and emotional intimacies and stands the best chance at reaching the rewards at the end of the R challenge.

Identity Initial Code

DBB (4+2+2) = 8 Balance: Matter vs. Spirit

The two 8 values found in Drew’s Social and Domestic Total Name Number energies are reflected here, too. It’s as though the feeling I had while doing this read, that Drew Barrymore’s name energy is larger than the sum of its parts, has been confirmed. The 8 represents the lemniscate, the symbol for eternity and infinity, and Drew’s name is filled with direct and indirect references to this essence and its symbol. She may well be one of the first Barrymores to truly understand the concept that true peace is only gained through the release of control and the embracing of Faith, the healthiest infrastructure known to man. Drew seeks eternal balance in all things, and chances are good that she will find it.

I believe in fate. I believe that everything happens for a reason, but I think it’s important to seek out that reason—that’s how you learn.

conclusion

Many years ago, I was given a gift and asked to pass it along, which I have now done—to you, dear reader. In honor of that initial request, I respectfully ask you to do the same. Sharing knowledge is the greatest gift of all and now that you are free to be who you are and to feel good about it, you have also become a gift to others. Mass consciousness is composed of people like you and me and if we feel good about ourselves, others will feel good while in our company and will transmit that same energy to those they cross paths with later, which essentially creates a domino effect— a smile in LA can lead to a hug in China.

Chaldean name analysis offers us the chance to explore ourselves and to accept what we find as intrinsic to who we are. As a result, we come into our own power and just naturally become happier people. Happier people think happier thoughts, and that energy is picked up and carried into the energy matrix, which produces a happier matrix.

Since we know that every thought and emotion registers with Universe, I invite everyone who reads this to send out their own form of positive energy—it can be to someone specific or to the world in general. It just takes a moment, and if you doubt its effectiveness, I promise you that Universe doesn’t; energy is energy and you are a conduit, just like everyone else. Imagine how the atmosphere on Earth would change if routinely charged with loving and positive ions, and then imagine how that might reflect back upon us and our environment—literally.

The Chaldeans seemed focused on rising above the limits of the physical mind and body to become closer to the Divine. I say that Heaven is right here on Earth and that it is up to us to do some gardening—starting in our own back yards. So pull some weeds and plant new seeds, and I will do the same. Together, we can bring the dream to life.

Until we meet again, I leave you in light, in love, and in peace.

Happy people are beautiful. They become like a mirror and they reflect that happiness … if someone is giving of their spirit and they make you laugh and feel good, that’s a whole other level of beauty.

—Drew Barrymore, People magazine, April 2007

glossary

Acceptance: Spiritual term referring to the personal understanding that we are all created exactly according to plan. Perceived imperfections are not flaws; they are inherent to our individual designs.

Alchemy: Ancient practice of attempting to transform base metals into gold and ideally creating an “elixir” of immortal life in the process.

Alpha and Omega: The first and last letters of the ancient Ionic Greek alphabet. Also used in spiritual terms to describe the “be all and end all,” the entire picture, the beginning and the end, and all points in between.

Astrology: Literal practice of tracking the positions of the stars and using these celestial bodies as tools of divination or forecasting. This is where the signs of the Zodiac are “drawn” as sky patterns. (See Divination.)

Awakening: Spiritual term that refers to becoming aware of other levels of energy and the existence of a “higher” power.

Bermuda Triangle: Plenty of ships and planes have disappeared without apparent reason within the boundaries of Miami, Bermuda, and Puerto Rico. The term was coined by the media around 1964, and it stuck. Some say the lack of debris, the clear weather, and the calm seas are proof that something about the disappearances within this triangle is mysterious and dangerous, while others say many of these occurrences can be scientifically explained and that there is nothing mysterious about them at all.

Blueprint: The fundamental elements of our human and spiritual auras as reflected in our names, numbers, and Lifepaths. Another form of this aura can also be seen in the colors surrounding our bodies.

Butterfly Effect: This theory suggests that a small action can alter the course of events some distance away and is linked to the idea of cause and effect: all energy is connected, and every action has a reaction. Therefore, the flap of butterfly wings in British Columbia might be linked to a hurricane in the Tropics.

Cornerstone: The first letter of any given person, place, or thing. The Cornerstone shows the strongest overall essence of the word itself and is what your Identity Initial Code is made up of.

Cosmic Catalog: Often used in conjunction with the Law of Attraction to reference the willingness of the Universal or Cosmic mind to give us that which is needed to improve the life. Our positive thoughts (and even magickal undertakings) are sometimes likened to “placing an order” with this catalog.

Cosmic Mind: This is another way of addressing the power of God, the Divine, Spirit, or Universal Consciousness.

Cosmic School: This relates to the idea that we are all here to learn a specific set of lessons and are actually attending a learning center which, while of this Earth plane, is actually “run” by higher level energies.

Cuneiform: This is one of the first forms of writing, or rather, printing. Used in Babylonian times, its symbols look rather like nails with wedge-shaped heads.

Current Energy Phase: A method of counting through each name until you reach your current age. These letters are then grouped to form a code, totaled, and studied for the letter and number energy messages they hold, and for which vibrations are affecting you the most at present.

Cycle or Pattern: Situations and/or relationships that repeat themselves in style and content. For example, if you are in your third abusive relationship, you are in a cycle that needs to be broken before you can move on.

Daily Name: The name you are most commonly called, for example, John Smith. The Daily Name does not include the middle name.

Déjà vu: Déjà vu refers to that odd feeling of having experienced an event before or having been in a particular place before—even if you know this is not so. The term originates with the French and translates as “already seen.”

Direct Number: This happens when a name does not have more than a total value of 9; there are no sub numbers prior to the Whole Name Number. For example, “Amy” is 1+4+1 and equals a direct 6.

Divination: Divination methods include gazing into crystal balls, throwing runes, and pulling Tarot cards, and all are aimed at seeking guidance from a higher source. We ask for signs from the Divine, hence, divination. (See Divine.)

Divine: This is another way of saying God, Spirit, or Universe and connects to unexpected blessings and the absolute trust placed in something unseen. Also used when referencing information whose source cannot be readily explained.

DNA Activation Code 11:11: Because of the number 1’s connection to original forces, four of these energies in a row would point to fundamental and foundational changes that are caused by a combination of powerful but separate forces. It is believed that while we now function on two strands of DNA, we once did so with twelve, which would have allowed for a much more advanced state of health in the body, mind, and spirit. Some believe this advance in our genetic structure (from two to twelve or more) will occur naturally over time. Others believe the time for activation is now and that 11:11 is a “code” and that activation can be encouraged through energy work that cleans and reprograms our belief systems. (See DNA Helix.)

DNA Helix: Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) is our individual genetic information code that is contained within a twisted ladder-type shape called a double helix. These codes are passed down to our children and help to explain why a son looks so much like his dad or why a daughter sounds just like her mom.

Dowsing (Rod): Here is another ancient practice that involves a forked branch held by the forked end and used to locate things that are hidden. It is believed that the user or seeker energetically connects to that which is sought and that the rod moves to indicate its placement or location. (See Pendulum.)

Easter Island: This tiny island (approximately 15 miles long and 10 miles wide) lies thousands of miles off the coast of Chile in the South Pacific Ocean—literally in the middle of nowhere. When it was discovered by a Dutch captain in the 1700s, it was completely deserted save for hundreds of massive stone statues, some of which stood at least thirty feet tall and weighed several tons. Who lived there, how the stones were moved and erected, and why still remains a mystery.

Ego: The ego is our sense of self. It allows us to set and pursue goals, to develop personalities in which many things can manifest—not the least of which are pride, greed, envy, and also confidence, consciousness, and personality. It allows us to feel in control of our own lives and even superior to others. The ego is one of the main detractors in the search for spiritual connections, as it must be released (or at least subdued) in order to find true serenity and faith.

Energy: Energy is everywhere: it is electrical, radiant, nuclear, and spiritual. Energy is the flow of creation and movement and must be balanced to be positive. That applies to the human form as well—as above, so below. Allowing yourself to be an open conduit for energy flow is the key to spiritual growth.

Esoteric: That which is hidden or not immediately available to all. Mystic, occult, and spiritual knowledge that is specific to certain groups or subjects.

Faith: The unfailing belief in that which cannot be seen or proven, as in God or the Divine, and that “everything happens for a reason”—reasons we may not be aware of but nevertheless take “on faith.” One of the major spiritual support systems of mankind.

Flower of Life: Sacred Geometry sits at the base of this venerable design, which consists of a series of overlapping circles and can be found in various places throughout the ancient world. It contains mysteries beyond what can be discussed here, but this circular maze is our picture of how the mind of the Universe might look. It is said that wearing a Flower of Life pendant can improve one’s mental and physical state of well-being.

Frequency: This is used in reference to the energy levels projected by individual groups of letter or number energies, as in “what’s your vibe?”

Hieroglyphics: One of the first forms of writing. Ancient Egyptian symbol script often used actual images or pictures while detailing a story or transcribing historical events. The idea of picture images is closely tied to the “reading” of symbols in our current alphabet and therefore to Chaldean numerology.

Holistic: Often heard in healing circles, holistic includes the whole picture. The condition of body, mind, and spirit are included and considered when choosing or performing healings.

Identity Initials: Simply put, your initials and their numeric total. This total presents an overall view of your vibrations.

Immortality: To gain eternal life; to never die. This can refer to the human form or to continued existence after the death of the physical body.

Intuition: This is that inner feeling that warns us of impending danger or that something is not quite right about a situation or person. The intuition is our sixth sense, is connected to Universe, and is never wrong.

Kaleidoscope: In spiritual terms, this word refers to the beauty and adaptability of the human spirit. In the mundane world, this is a long optical device that displays brilliant colors when rotated.

Karma: As you sow, so shall you reap. Karma is from the Sanskrit and means to do, to make—action, word, or deed—and refers to past life actions within these parameters. Negative karma is believed to remain attached to the soul after death and is thus carried into new incarnations, where reparations must be made, or balance re-instated.

Kundalini: Once again of Sanskrit origin, the Kundalini is often pictured as a sleeping snake curled at the base of the spine. The objective of spiritual healing and other modalities is to awaken this sleeping giant so it may support the quest for enlightenment.

Law of Attraction: An age-old concept that was given a modern name, the Law is simple in that what you think and what you say will attract and dictate your circumstances. Positive to positive and negative to negative. Becoming aware of your thoughts does take some practice, but it does work.

Lemniscate: The symbol for infinity or perfect balance; it looks like the number 8 on its side. The lemniscate is endless; it travels the same graceful curves forever and forms two loops that are mirror images of each other. Its meaning is balance in all things and therefore, perfect control.

Letter Energies: These are symbols (similar to hieroglyphics) that stand for particular things—like characteristics, tendencies, and sometimes events. Each letter stands for something different and forms a “picture” when linked together in a word or name.

Ley Lines: This term refers to a series of ancient areas—such as Stonehenge and the Pyramids—that are reputed to be highly charged with energy and to be interconnected via invisible energy strands, or ley lines.

Lifepath: The combination of your day and month of birth reduces to the number essence of your Lifepath, which suggests the reasons why you are here and what to do about it. The Lifepath is the lesson (or set of lessons) you must learn in order to graduate to the next level or phase of existence.

Magick: This is beyond magic—this is magic that is kaleidoscopic in nature. It takes the element of mystery and elevates it to one of awe and wonder. At the core of this magick is nature and working with its energies in a productive and respectful manner.

Major Arcana: Refers to the twenty-two cards of the tarot that represent major life events.

Manifest: This is what happens when you learn how to focus your thoughts upon something needed. There is definitely something magickal about seeing something manifest just as you pictured it. (See Law of Attraction.)

Master Numbers: Refers to double-digit numbers 11, 22, 33, and so on that have the potential to create or motivate in more powerful ways than their root numbers. Master numbers are the movers and shakers of the number scale and are the only numbers not reduced in name analysis.

Matrix: While the proper description of a Matrix is usually a series of interconnected lines and rows, to me, this is a grid of either electricity or mass consciousness or spirituality or all three that encompasses the Earth. Something about this Matrix feels mysterious and powerful and esoterically tied to the Flower of Life. (See Flower of Life.)

Meditation: My personal form of meditating is to sit outside under the trees or in front of my work area or even in my favorite easy chair while being still and quiet, allowing my mind to go where it wants to go and to show me images along the way. Some of these images make no sense, but some do. Of course, there are more traditional ways to meditate, but they are all aimed at accessing the spiritual plane.

Metaphysical: “Meta” means “beyond” (from the Greek meta). It is the study or subject of all the elements that lie beyond or “after” our physical bodies and senses.

Minor Arcana: While the Major Arcana provides the twenty-two major life events, the fifty-six remaining Minor Arcana cards speak to specifics in the different areas of life as indicated by the four suits of Pentacles, Swords, Wands, and Cups. In other words, they “flesh out” the stories and address, among other things, the areas of money, love, health, and success.

Number Energies: These symbols dictate types of energies, whether they be fast or slow or powerful or passive. When combined with the characters of letters, these number flows will also form a picture when linked together and play an integral role in the practice of Chaldean numerology.

Numerology: The practical application of number energies to the path or pattern of one’s life. It is not a traditional divination system, but it is revelatory in a deeply personal way and can indicate times when certain events are likely to occur. Chaldean is but one form of numerology; some others are Pythagorean and Kabalarian.

Occult: Used here only in the positive sense. This term comes from the Latin occultare (to “hide” or to “conceal”) and refers to the mystical and unknown and the revelation and understanding thereof.

Omen: A bird flies into the room and we think someone is going to die. That’s an omen. Or, at least, that is one that I know of. Anything can be viewed as an omen, but I tend to listen to my intuition rather than start looking for omens because you can find them everywhere if you are actively looking. Having said that, there are times when repeated odd events will combine with messages from your intuition and present what can be seen as an omen, the meaning of which will be personal to the observer.

Oracle: Any device or tool that is used to peek into the placement of future energies.

Paranormal: This is something that travels past the boundaries of what we consider “normal” (para is linked to the Latin and carries a similar meaning to the Greek meta, which is to “go against, past, beyond, or above”) and includes hauntings, possessions, telepathy, and UFO sightings. Paranormal events or subjects are those that challenge or defy scientific explanation.

Pendulum: Usually a crystal suspended on a chain, these are also in the oracle family and are used to indicate yes or no answers. (See Dowsing.)

Pentagram: This is another symbol that goes back in time and always makes me think of the stars in the sky, maybe because it is the five-pointed star and holds the power of God and man within its frame. It is a positive symbol, unless worn or drawn upside down. Then it is sometimes viewed as connected to Satan worship or the misuse of energies.

Personal Power: This is the willingness to set goals and pursue them without allowing fear to intervene. Personal power is self-confidence that is gained through faith in your own abilities as gifted by a higher power. It is not overly connected to the ego.

Pineal Gland: This is a pea-sized gland that sits in the middle of your brain and regulates the secretion of melatonin, which helps us sleep. It is connected to the mystic “third eye,” which points to psychic abilities. When “opened” (through meditation, yoga, and reiki, to name a few methods), it is purported to offer a portal that sees beyond the physical and connects to the universal truths. (See Intuition.)

Prophets (Soothsayers): These have been around since the dawn of recorded history. Genuine practitioners are spiritual and intuitive and can indeed speak the “soothe.” This word is linked to Old English and basically means to tell the truth. Only over time did this change to cast doubt upon the words spoken. Otherwise known as seers, fortunetellers, and psychics, these are people who are just more naturally open to messages and visions than others. To supplement their visions, some also use tools (such as the Tarot) to decipher the likelihood of specific events occurring in the future.

Psyche: This is the deep and inner core of our emotions. This is where we are extremely vulnerable. For example, if we suffer an emotional wound that is penetrating and lasting, it can become ingrained into our very essence or soul, or psyche.

Psychic: Psychics are able to see, but not always in the same direction and usually without any control over images. Some see the past; some see the future. Being psychic is one big step up from being intuitive; it can be an uncomfortable way to live, but it can also prove very helpful. For example, despite their sometimes fallible reputations, psychics are often consulted by police in cases involving missing persons. (See Prophets.)

Pyramids of Egypt: Seemingly without the means to do so at the time, the people of ancient Egypt managed to build the Great Pyramids at Giza so that they aligned almost exactly with the astral Belts of Orion. Questions swirl around these mystical structures: how they were built; where the mathematical knowledge required to do so came from; how they knew the astrological aspects and how to apply them to construction; and perhaps one of the most perplexing—why? Why would these people have cared about the astrological alignments of their structures?

Roadblocks: Roadblocks are repeated and determined attempts by Universe to stop you from doing something or from going somewhere, and there is always a reason. We just don’t always know what it is, nor do we need to.

Runes: Runes are a set of symbols (originating with an old Germanic language) that formed a little-known alphabet, which was used when a document needed protection from prying eyes. But the primary use of runes even then was divinational; each symbol was marked or carved onto a small piece of rock, wood, or leather and used for divining the future. When thrown, only the runes falling face-up were considered. (See Divination.)

Soul Mate: We all dream of finding our soul mate, right? You may rethink that after reading this; not all soul mates are positive. Some are quite destructive and tie back to unfinished business; karmic debts and payback can come in forms other than romantic. So be careful that the soul mate you think you have found really is the soul mate you think you have found. Trust your intuition!

Stonehenge: Stonehenge, at least from a strictly structural point of view, always struck me as a giant circle within another made of huge rock dominoes with a smaller horseshoe in the center. Some of these dominoes have fallen down, but the rest remain standing, as they have done for thousands of years. There is undoubtedly mystery surrounding these monuments, why they were built, what was done there, and so on, but the largest mystery (just like Easter Island and the pyramids) involves how the people who built them knew enough about astrology to align its structure with lunar and solar solstices.

Sub Numbers: The most important subs are the ones just before your final number for any name. There can be a number of double digits found when reducing a Whole Name, and while these may hold messages for you, it is the last or main subs that will tell you the most about yourself.

Symbology: This means being aware of symbols around you that seem to play into what you were just thinking or answer questions you were just asking … similar to a stop sign appearing when you’ve just wondered about having that second hamburger.

Synchronicity: Often mistakenly called coincidence, synchronicity occurs when two elements come together in a surprising or unexpected way. A typical example is when you are thinking about someone you have not spoken to in a long time and an hour later, the phone rings and guess who’s on the line? Synchronicity is energies that meet and ride the same path for a short time, often resulting in a meeting of minds or people or ideas.

Tarot: The tarot is a very old and very well-used system of divining and advising that can offer spiritual insight and growth as well as a peek at potential upcoming events. (See Divination, Major Arcana, and Minor Arcana.)

Total Name: The Total Name Number is your entire name (including your middle name) and shows your “proper” and governmental essence as well as the potential gifted to you by Universe upon your “delivery” here.

Tree of Life: Although the natural connection is to the Tree in the Garden of Eden and forbidden fruit, this Tree is more concerned with human, plant, and animal existence. It performs many functions that are intrinsic to the cycle of life and is honored as such.

Universe/Source/Spirit/Divine: All refer to God; the Almighty; the One Who Creates. I think of God as a consciousness—one that contains all knowledge and wisdom of the past, the present, and the future.

Whole Name: Each of your individual names adds up to a Whole Name—like the name John totals to number 9. Each Whole Name Number is descriptive of the category in which it falls: if “John” is a first name, it will reflect Social aspects.

Wicca: Wicca is based on worship of the Goddess (and her consort) and involves ritualized ceremony, strict codes of conduct, and beliefs and ethics, and is positive in tone. It is not the same thing as witchcraft, which can be practiced by anyone in any way and can be positive or negative in intention. (See Witch.)

Witch: The origin of the term witch is not exact but is suspected to come from the Anglo-Saxon word wicca, which is believed to have meant “wise.” So from there, it is not hard to imagine an old wise woman of an ancient village who grew herbs, knew how to mix healing balms, and occasionally threw twigs or stones on the ground to study their patterns as the true core origin of the now-mixed meaning of the word witch. To my mind, this term means someone who works with and honors the power of nature and the energy/spirit of all things.

Yin/Yang: This ancient term sources back to China and is their version of how things work in the Universe. One half of the symbol is white and the other black, which is meant to reflect the fact that nothing ever is truly black or white. Their swirling action represents the continuous flow and changes of nature and life itself.
