6-THE LOVERS
originally, this card was called just ‘Love’. And that’s actually more apt than “Lovers”. The two figures
in the Lovers card are blessed and protected by the infinite intelligence in the clouds above them.
The sign associated with
the Lovers is Gemini that is ruled by mercury, the planet of communication. Just
like the sunshine,
transparent communication and trust brings
warmth and
security
to
a healthy relationship. The twelve flames in the picture, signifies that the twelve zodiac
signs are no exception to the grace of love. Love is a force that makes you choose and decide for reasons you often cannot understand; it makes you surrender control to a higher power. This could be
a person, place or a thing.
Love
is usually followed by the feeling of compassion.
Name Number 88 Key Compound Number 7 George Washington was a dominant military and political leader of USA who led the American
victory
over
Great Britain in
the American Revolutionary
War as
commander-in-chief of the continental army. Historians give Washington
high marks for his selection and supervision of his generals; encouragement of morale and ability to hold together the army; coordination with the state governors and state
militia units; relations with Congress; and attention to supplies, logistics, and training. In his domestic life, he managed a variety
of enterprises. He freed all the slaves in
his tobacco plantation.
After
victory, he
drafted the US
Constitution and
was
elected as
the
first
President of USA.
Washington had a vision of a great and powerful nation that would be built on republican lines using federal power. He sought to use the national government to preserve liberty, improve infrastructure,
open the western
lands, promote commerce, found a permanent capital, reduce regional tensions and
promote a spirit of
American nationalism. Washington presided over the creation of a strong, well-
financed national government that stayed neutral in
the wars raging
in
Europe, suppressed rebellion and won acceptance among Americans of all types. His leadership style established many forms and
rituals of government that have been used since, such as using a cabinet system and delivering an
inaugural address. Washington is universally regarded as the “Father of his Country”.
People who fall under the influence of this number are very sensitive and make good spouses,
parents and
home makers. They are very social and
cannot live without the society. These people love
to take responsibility of their beloved ones. Usually they do not stick to anything for long be it a job,
cause, venture or a person. These courageous, original and brilliant
natives have the potential to
become great reformers or catalysts for change in
home, work
and or society provided these people

Sigmund Freud Name Number 6
Sigmund
Freud was a Jewish Austrian neurologist who founded the psychoanalytic
school of psychiatry. Freud is best known for his theories of the unconscious mind
and the defense mechanism of repression. The most significant contribution Freud
made to Western thought were his
arguments
concerning the importance of the unconscious mind in
understanding conscious thought and behavior. Freud called dreams the “royal road to the unconscious”. This meant that dreams illustrate the “logic” of
the unconscious mind. He
theorized that personality is developed by a person’s childhood experiences. On the lower octave of number six, Freud was addicted to smoking. A heavy cigar smoker, Freud smoked 20 cigars a day
despite
health warnings from colleagues.
Freud
was
eventually diagnosed with an oral cancer. Despite over 30 surgeries, and complications ranging from intense pain to insects infesting dead skin
cells around the cancer, Freud smoked cigars until his life ended in a morphine-induced coma to
relieve the pain. In September 1939, he prevailed on his doctor and friend Max Schur to assist him in
suicide. After taking permission from Freud’s wife, Schur administered three doses of morphine over
many hours that resulted
in
Freud’s death.
7-THE CHARIOT
T he Chariot is one of the most majestic cards in the set of 22 Major Arcana. A royal prince rides in a
chariot drawn by two horses, black and white representing mercy and severity respectively. The prince keeps both of them in line with a wand of willpower, for if he doesn’t the horses will pull him in opposite directions leading to disaster. The Chariot card is not about riding majestically through the town. It is the victory which creates kingship as its natural consequence and not the vested royalty of the fourth card ‘Emperor ’. This card promises triumph and victory through self-mastery, and the bringing together of powerful and possibly conflicting forces to work in harmony towards a common
goal. Those who fall under the influence of this number are assured of victory if they overcome their doubts and fear, and work towards their goal with continued effort. Honor, fame, recognition, awards and monetary
rewards will eventually
follow their success. These people should exercise discipline
and harness their inner strength and use it wisely. Wasted energy is wasted effort. This card also
suggests long distance travel, experimentation and/or exploration.
8-STRENGTH
T he card is illustrated by a woman in white dress taming a wild lion on a rugged landscape. White
color symbolizes peace and purity of thought. She also wears a crown and a robe made of red roses. Red rose symbolizes love, passion
and desire. The infinite symbol signifies that the woman’s inner
strength is infinite. There is no evidence of power struggle, yet the woman controls the wild lion with
sheer will power. That is exactly what Eight’s do. People under the influence of this number make excellent entrepreneurs. They
work
hard to achieve their goals and possess a special skill of making money
in leaps and bounds. However they should avoid being impulsive, critical and stubborn.
Usually these people have a tendency to ill treat or get frustrated with
those who do not meet their expectations. These people form strong opinions and become too judgmental. Eights do not always
have a smooth ride in their endeavors just like the rugged field beneath in the picture. Yet, these people overcome all obstacles with courage and
enthusiasm.
Key Compound Number 8 John D. Rockefeller was an American oil magnate. He revolutionized the petroleum
industry
and defined the structure of modern philanthropy. He founded the Standard Oil Company
and aggressively ran it until his retirement. As kerosene and gasoline grew
in importance, Rockefeller ’s wealth soared,
and
he became the world’s richest man and first American worth more than a billion dollars. Adjusting for
inflation,
he is often regarded as
the
richest and controversial
businessman in
history. From his very first pay check, Rockefeller tithed ten percent of his earnings to his church. As his wealth grew, so did his giving, primarily to educational and public health causes, but also for basic science and the arts. His fortune was mainly used to create the modern systematic approach of targeted philanthropy with foundations that had a major effect on medicine, education, and scientific
research. Rockefeller University,
founded by Rockefeller claims
a
connection to 23 Nobel laureates so far. Rockefeller adhered to total abstinence from alcohol and
tobacco
throughout his life.
He
spent the last 40 years of his life in retirement.
9-
THE HERMIT
T
he card is depicted by a Sage standing alone on a snowy peak, lighting the way for others with the Lamp of Truth or Light of the World
in
the lantern that he holds. There is a great difference between loneliness and aloneness. When there is no “significant other”
in
our lives we can either be lonely, or enjoy the freedom that solitude brings. When we find no
support among others for our deeply felt truths, we can either feel isolated and bitter, or celebrate the fact that our vision is strong enough even to survive the powerful human need for the approval of
family, friends or colleagues. The long grey beard of the Hermit implies ages of wisdom acquired
through past experiences. The humble figure in this card glows with a light that emanates from within. One of Gautama Buddha’s most significant contributions to the spiritual life of humankind was to
insist to his disciples, “Be a light unto you”. Ultimately, each of us must develop within ourselves the
capacity to make our way through the darkness without any companions, maps or guide. Hence, it is a
card of attainment of the spiritual wisdom and the sage stands vigil for weary seekers willing to share
it.
The snow represents the isolation he endures because his wisdom sets him apart from others. Those under the influence of this vibration are humanitarians born for the service of others. These people have a thirst for spiritual knowledge and an urge for freedom and wisdom that transcends
personal needs. The higher they evolve the more difficulties they face. People will be drawn to them for advice. Charitable work
is
close to their heart. These people easily acquire money and
independence.
Key Compound Number 9: Mikhail
Gorbachev is a former Soviet statesman, and the last head of state of theUSSR.Gorbachev’s attempts at reform
as well as summit conferences with United States President Ronald Reagan and his reorientation of Soviet strategic aims contributed to
the end
of the Cold
War and also
ended the political supremacy of the Communist Party, and led to
the
dissolution of the Soviet Union. For these efforts,
he
was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
10-
WHEEL OF FORTUNE
Name Number 10
T he Wheel of Fortune is a Karmic payback card that spins the destinies of mortals based on the
good things they have done in their past lives. The letters TARO appear on the wheel. This is exactly the same word that
the Goddess of Underworld holds in The Priestess card. A bull for Taurus, a lion for Leo, an Eagle for Scorpio, and a winged man
for
Aquarius represent the four fixed signs of the
zodiac. The books they hold are wisdom of the ages. The overall symbolism is that while our material
existence undergoes ups and downs,
transcendental reality is an eternal constant. Those under the vibration of the Wheel of Fortune card encounter unexpected developments that change their plans or alter their course. Circumstances will not be under their control and fighting
their limitations itself could be a form of limitation. The natives should get ready to experience a new way of life. The apparent chaos can
be the beginning
of something
much better, so be flexible with your plans. Letting things flow will bring good fortune. Events unfold in such a way that it will be
impossible to miss the hand of Fate in their affairs.
For this engineering
feat, Yu
has been
remembered as an
exemplar of perseverance and
determination and revered as the perfect civil servant. Stories continue to dwell on his single-minded dedication. In spite of passing
his own
house three times during
those thirteen
years, he never once stopped in for a family visit, reasoning that a personal reunion would distract him from dealing with
the public crisis at hand. King Shun was so impressed by Yu’s engineering work and diligence that he passed the throne to
Yu
instead of to his own son. At the end of Great Yu’s life, however, his ministers favored passing the throne to Yu’s son, Qi, instituting a hereditary monarchy. This created China’s first hereditary
dynasty, the Xia Dynasty (ca.2070 BCE - 1600
BCE). It is said that when Yu was given the task of fighting the flood, he had been married only five days.
He
then said goodbye to his wife, saying that he does not know when he will return. His wife then asked him what name to give if a son is born. Yu replied, Qi, a character meaning five days in ancient Chinese. During his thirteen years of fighting the flood, Yu passed by his own family’s doorstep three
times. The first time he passed by hearing that his wife was in labor. The second time he passed by, his wife was holding his son’s hand as he was learning his first steps. The third time, his son greeted him and
enjoined
him to
come in for rest.
Each time, Yu refused to
go in the door, saying that the flood was rendering countless people homeless,
he
could not rest in his own. the waters. But during
a period of heavy
flooding, the earthen dikes collapsed everywhere and the project failed miserably. Shun executed Gun and recruited Yu as successor to his father ’s flood- control efforts. Instead of building more dikes, Yu began to dredge new river channels, to serve both
as outlets for the torrential waters, and as irrigation conduits to distant farm lands. Yu spent thirteen
years at this task, with the help of some 20,000 workers. Yu
the Great was the legendary founder of
the Xia Dynasty and is identified as one of
the
Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. Yu is best remembered for teaching the people
flood control techniques to tame China’s rivers and lakes. According to the legend of China’s Great Flood, Yu’s father, Gun, was assigned by King Yao to tame the raging
waters. In 9 years, Gun had built earthen dikes all over the land in the hope of containing Chinese numerology is believed to be one of the earliest forms of
numerology. It is thought that the
origins of Chinese numerology date back Yu’s time on the banks of the Yellow River. The tale that is told is that when Yu found a tortoise shell while working on methods to prevent flooding. This
particular tortoise shell, however, was extremely rare, unique and special because it had fascinating
markings on it. The shell showed a magic 3x3 square on its back that later became known as the Lo
Shu Grid. The Lo Shu Grid was particularly remarkable because every row, column and diagonal on the grid add up to the number 15. The Lo Shu Grid became the basis of Chinese numerology and is still used
today in the Far East.
