Numerology Fortune Telling Systems; as diverse as Astrology

Numerology, like astrology, has several different systems which have evolved over the years. These systems have the same basic principles, but also have major differences in how they prepare your reading. Here is a synopsis of the four major systems and how they differ.

===> Western Numerology

Western numerology is the classic form of numerology derived from the work of the Greek philosopher Pythagoras in the sixth century B.C. It uses your Gregorian birth date, and places the numbers in a (3 x 3) square with positions numbered from bottom to top, and left to right as shown below.

( 3 )( 6 )( 9 )
( 2 )( 5 )( 8 )
( 1 )( 4 )( 7 )

Completed lines and missing lines in your chart denote particular character strengths and weaknesses.

===> Chinese Numerology

Chinese Numerology also has ancient roots. It too places the numbers of your date of birth in a (3 x 3) grid, but instead of using Pythagoras grid above, they use the Lo Shu grid, based on the square of Wu of Hsia. This grid is numbered in a (3 x 3) magic square as shown below.

( 4 )( 9 )( 2 )
( 3 )( 5 )( 7 )
( 8 )( 1 )( 6 )

We call this grid pattern the square of Saturn. In addition, Chinese numerology converts your date of birth to the Chinese lunar calendar before charting the numbers.

The Lunar calendar begins the year on the second new moon after the Winter solstice (the shortest day of the year.) Note that the lunar year consist of twelve months in a regular year, and 13 months in a leap year. Also, Chinese Numerology does not recognize a life path number. This is a Western innovation.

===> Nine Star Ki

The Nine Star Ki system, more commonly called the Ki, also uses the Lo Shu grid shown above, but it then rotates the numbers each year, creating a set of nine different squares used in a nine year cycle. This system also uses the Chinese lunar year to calculate your birth date.

The system has (3) major numbers which produce your reading: Your Natal (lunar) year number, your Natal month, number, and your House number.

===> Yantra Magic Square Numerology

This numerology system is actually based on Indian Numerology Yantras. This system uses a constructed magic square where the top row (left to right) consist of your birth month, your birth day, your birth year (excluding century), and your Life Path number. The remaining rows are calculated by formula to complete a (4 x 4) magic square with these numbers, such that all rows, columns and diagonals have the same sum.

The calculated squares each represent a particular character trait and are interpreted for the reading. The Yantra Square shown below is for actor Johnny Depp, who was born on June 9th, 1963. Note that all rows and columns add up to the sum of (85).

( 6 )( 9 )( 63 )( 7 )
( 61 )( 9 )( 4 )( 11 )
( 8 )(64 )( 8 )( 5 )
( 10 )( 3 )( 10 )( 62 )

Organizing The Information

Putting a piece of paper in a file folder is easy; finding it again is the hard part. There are ways to make your files easier to use and your papers easier to find. Invest in a sturdy, four or five-drawer file cabinet. Spend the extra money it takes to get quality and durability.

You'll spend more money replacing a cheaper file cabinet a few times than buying a reliable one in the beginning. You may not have enough files to fill the cabinet now, but believe me, you'll need it in the future.

Before you buy additional cabinets, weed out unnecessary files. The natural tendency is to buy more cabinets to hold the papers you've accumulated. The more filing space you have, however, the more tendency you have to keep unnecessary papers.

Keep the number of hanging file folders you use to a minimum. Rather than putting only one interior folder in each hanging folder, group three to five interior folders in each one and label the hanging folder with the main category.

Minimize your paper files by using a scanner to store them electronically. There are hand-held, sheet-fed, flatbed and optical pen scanners available. You can even use a scanner to enter business cards into a contact management software program.

Designate one place in your office for magazines, newspapers and any other publications you don't need to read right away. Select another place for papers that need to be filed. Stacking binsâ€"they're larger than stacking trays and have legsâ€"keep papers to file and papers to read separated, yet in close proximity to each other. You could also use wicker baskets near your desk to hold these materials. The point is to keep this inactive information off your desk and keep you focused on more important tasks.

You don't have to spend a fortune or a lifetime organizing your home based business. Take the time to select the right location for your home office and evaluate whether your current furniture and setup is meeting your needs. Then design your office so you can find information quickly, and create a filing system that reduces the time you spend searching for important papers.

Disorganization can cause lost time and money and eventually may cause you to lose sight of the reason you started your business in the first place: to enjoy what you do each day.
