Question:
Dear Priti ~ I feel like I have 2 people within me. I have done a lot and I know I can do a lot more—in terms of both quality and diversity of different activities. I am confused as to why I’ve been feeling like things are not moving, as if there is a stagnation that refuses to budge since some years. From the outside things look fine but I’m concerned that I will not be able to reach my true potential. - Richa – (letter edited, name changed and birth data omitted)
Answer:
Numerologist Priti responds: Dear Richa ~ The numbers 9 & 1 are the most important in your profile. Even though 1 is more important as it is your destiny number, but as 9 is your day of birth no, occurs thrice in your date of birth, is the numeric value of the first letter in your name and is the numeric value of 3 letters in your first name--hence though you should give more imp to destiny 1, the no. 9 is pretty much shoulder to shoulder in importance. Both these numbers indicate you to be very independent; you can be very assertive and even aggressive if the need arises. Being self-controlled will go a long way for you as that is one of the challenges of destiny 1. Do note that one of the negative attributes of the no. 9 is being overly impulsive. You may face a continuous battle between being self-centered and selfless. Destiny 1 challenges you to carve a unique niche for yourself, which does require being self-centered to some extent. However, the number 9 can make you very selfless. It's important you achieve a reasonable balance between these 2 attributes. Both the numbers 1 & 9 show you can be a leader, specially the number 1. You are meant to be self-reliant, determined, creative, pioneering and unconventional. In the negative you can become manipulative, egotistical and obstinate. 9 makes you very charitable, and a humanitarian. Combined with the expression no. 3 from your maiden name, it makes you a universal friend. This combination also makes you good in expression skills. 9 makes you very empathetic, generous, inspiring & inspired, and it makes you want to do good to uplift others. The no. 3 from your maiden name also makes you want to spread cheer, optimism even at the cost of your own desires. Hence emotional expression could become a challenge. It is important that you bring a balance between expression that brings joy to others and expression that helps you communicate your own feelings. The number 9 can bring extremes in forgiveness--if that's the case, you may have to learn to forgive and let go. Expression umber of your first name is 11/2 indicating sensitivity, diplomacy, patience, cooperation and a gentle, understanding nature. It also makes you quite parental (combined with the destiny 1). Before it reduces to a 2, your first name adds up to the master number 11. The potential in the master number can be tapped if you overcome the challenges in the lower number. The challenge generally for 2s is finding a balance between doing too much or doing nothing at all. This challenge is actually clearly visible even between numbers 1 (self-centered) and number 9 (selfless). It's there also in 3 (expressing for others & expressing for self). The prominent number 6 from your marital name is very diff from all the above numbers. It has required you to be more family oriented, responsible, team-spirited, harmonious and loyal. It has made you want to spend more time with family and make close friends part of your family too. It has also emphasized art and beauty more.
The challenges between the no. 6 (from your marital name) and all the imp numbers--1, 9 & 11 in your profile:
1. 6 is very conventional and the others are unconventional
2. 6 believes in working in a team unless the work is one of being of service to others (such as medicine, hospitality). The numbers 1, 9 & 11 are very independent.
3. 6 makes you consider only immediate family and few selected friends as "family". 9 is a universal friend and gives friends more importance than family. 1 and 3 are very social and can easily spend as much time meeting new people as time spent with family. The no. 11 believes that all of us are connected to one another and are part of one big family.
4. 6 works to make the home the most beautiful place. 9 considers the world to be home and wants to bring beauty wherever the 9 individual goes.
The other important points to note when 6 and 9 come together in the numerology based profile are following:
1. Too much desire for perfection--even trivial things may be given importance and hence one loses sight of the fact that everything is perfect in it's own way. Much time and energy may be lost when perfection is chased.
2. The good thing is that both 6 & 9 desire harmony and are very ethical in the positive.
3. As 9 is very intuitive and you are easily able to sense what your loved ones need. You might feel that they should be able to intuit your feelings and desires as well--that may not be possible if they are not as intuitive as you are. Hence, reasonable amount of expression is required.
One thing all your numbers indicate is that you can be a very good teacher.
In a nutshell--the most imp number for you being 1, it is important that you balance your independent, unconventional desires with society's and family's demands for a conventional life. Use your very high intuition to give importance to perfection only where that really makes a difference. You are a person connected to the world and should not limit yourself to tight-knit circles.

WHY HAS HE COME INTO MY LIFE AND WHAT IS IT THAT I REALLY FEEL FOR HIM?
Question:
Dear Priti ~ I have been in a relationship since the last 3 years and my boyfriend, and I had been really happy till another person, Sanjeev came into my life. Sanjeev and I slowly grew close and became good friends. I enjoyed his company so much that I would miss him sometimes even when I was with other good friends or with my boyfriend. I even started getting jealous when Sanjeev would talk to someone else and felt shattered if he ignored me. My boyfriend was uncomfortable about my reactions regarding Sanjeev but did not express anything. All of a sudden, Sanjeev distanced himself, became rude towards me, said he’s tired of me, and hates me. I tried to continue being friends with him but he refused and said we could not be best friends anymore. He removed his unhappiness in different ways—quarreling at times, and being rude even in front of friends, which made everyone uncomfortable. Later, on chat, he told me that he has fallen in love with me and as I was in a relationship with someone else, he didn’t want to come between us and wanted to be only a friend. I know there is a huge attraction between Sanjeev and me. At the same time, my boyfriend has consistently been by my side and tolerated my behavior with Sanjeev. I spoke to him about Sanjeev and he said that I need to make a choice, but doubted that things would work out between Sanjeev and me. I’m still with my boyfriend as I think we are a perfect match, but I sorely miss Sanjeev—memories keep flooding back making me laugh, cry, keeping me in pain and making me wonder what this is all about. The memories and thoughts are like a crushing addiction, and I want to bring back the happy me.. - Purnima – (letter edited, names changed and birth data omitted at writer’s request)
Answer:
Numerologist Priti responds: Dear Purnima ~ You are meant to be a very happy, cheerful, optimistic lady with a sunny disposition leaving smiles wherever she goes! Your destiny number 3 indicates a sociable, likeable, fashionable, charming personality and you can be quite the people-pleaser! What this means is you should respect your emotions and your happiness, and not keep giving priority to others’ happiness. Your boyfriend is a mature, sensitive, respectful and trustworthy young man who values consideration, refinement and does not get easily upset or makes hasty decisions. Sanjeev came into your life and turned things upside down. How could he do this? Because, it was possible. Numerologically, there is a lot of similarity between Sanjeev’s and your boyfriend’s profile. Both their day of birth numbers reduce to a 7, same as the numeric value of the first letter in your name. Both their first name numbers are absolutely the same—1, which is the same as your first name soul urge number. Your first name expression number, 33/6, is same as your boyfriend’s destiny number 33/6. Your full name expression number is same as Sanjeev’s destiny number 4. Hence, there is no doubt that there is compatibility with both these gentlemen. However, your boyfriend is respectful, refined and has remained steadily by your side, which talks far more about love, than Sanjeev who has blatantly been quarrelsome and rude to you, not caring or respecting your emotions or your privacy. It’s very clear with whom you will have a more peaceful life. However, you do need to address the empty pockets in your relationship with your boyfriend, which Sanjeev was able to fill. Are things being expressed clearly and in a reasonable way between you and your boyfriend? Also, if you say you are in a committed relationship with your boyfriend, how did you think it was okay to get so close to another? Is it possible that you and your boyfriend have a very unconventional relationship and if so, are you comfortable with that? With Sanjeev, at times you might have felt that you have met your soul-mate. Both of you felt very vulnerable with each other and quite often must have felt that you are “balancing” each other. He enjoyed your somewhat motherly and responsible behavior, which stabilized him. He also might have been keen to enter your social circle. His rudeness actually might have seemed sweet to you as you felt somewhat responsible for his feelings and behavior. Please remember that you were not in a relationship at any time with him and thus are not responsible for his hurt feelings and consequently rude behavior. At the same time, please also remember that you, your boyfriend and Sanjeev are all quite young. You will find things changing as you grow older. Your boyfriend may appear flawless now. Hopefully he will continue to remain sensitive and respectful of your feelings, and will not talk carelessly about this incident in your lives, to others. He has never expressed his feelings during this entire incident to you. Either he is really quite mature and understood you intuitively or he secretly sought approval, and hence appeared to be the mature one. As his day of birth number is a 7 (same as Sanjeev), he can be quite intuitive, but also secretive. The day of birth number 7 also brings deception which could mean self-deception. So, it’s very important that all these questions are looked into. Sanjeev could also have been a catalyst for change in your life. So, take this opportunity to resolve the questions which have come up regarding your relationship with your boyfriend. Also, please pay attention to your career, which is in its fledgling state. Please don’t go destroying your health or emotional balance, and try to focus on the relationship and other matters at hand. You will emerge stronger after this experience and if you and your boyfriend are really made for each other, then your relationship will only grow stronger after some matters are addressed.

WHAT DO OUR NAMES REVEAL?
Question:
Dear Priti ~ I read your book, “Your Name Reveals Your Nature”, and found it very helpful. Though my name, Dilip, is there in the book, I would like to know if there’s anything more you can tell me from this name itself. My friend, Jigar, whose name is not in the book, is also keen to get an insight into what his name reveals about him. - Dilip
Answer:
Numerologist Priti responds: Dear Dilip ~ In the book, I have focused on the final numbers arrived at from the complete name (expression number), vowels (soul urge number), and the numeric value of the first letter in the name. However the gross total especially of the name expression number gives further insights than of the final number. Your name first adds up to 32, before reducing to a 5 (3 + 2 = 5). Though 5 reveals an independent, freedom loving personality, the 3 and 2 indicate that you definitely enjoy being with people. You like to bring cheer, are quite sociable and strive to bring harmony while remaining the adaptable 5. As for your friend, Jigar, please request him to read up on the name Jatin, as it has the same final numbers.
HAVE QUIT MY CAREER AND AM UNDECIDED ABOUT HIGHER STUDIES
Question:
Dear Priti ~ I am a 26-year old woman, and recently quit my IT job as I had no interest in that field, though I did work for 3 years in IT. I am planning to study further but am unsure as to the studies I should take up so that I can work in a field which interests me and is suitable for me. Please advise about appropriate studies or suitable career choices.- Rachael – (letter edited and birth data omitted at writer’s request)
Answer:
Numerologist Priti responds: Dear Rachael ~ You indicated a lack of interest in IT, in which you had worked for 3 years. However, at that time you had picked up those studies, completed them and then went on to work for 3 years in the same, So you did have interest, but then you lost it and are seeking some other professional choices which will satisfy you. There are suitable career choices and areas of study which will interest you immensely. These I have detailed below. Your date of birth as well as first name expression number reduces to a 5, your destiny number from complete date of birth is 7 and your full name expression number is 3. Your first name expression number is also 5. The most important point that arises from your numbers is a restless personality who quickly gives in to boredom or may possibly be deceiving herself of the reasons why a certain career is not appropriate anymore. In the positive, your numbers also indicate a versatile, highly alert, intuitive and analytical person, who is excellent in fields of research and communication/ self-expression. In order that you stay for a long time in any career and grow in the same, it is imperative that you exercise self-discipline. Choose your field of study/ career carefully and then restrain yourself from feeling bored. Also, invest your energies in creative forms of self-expression such as writing, singing, dancing, other forms of arts, so that your expressive and creative abilities get channeled. This will help make you more self-disciplined too. Your numbers being mainly odd, you are quite independent and can be very unconventional too. At the same time, the 3 and 5 in your profile make you versatile and hence you can handle different tasks and roles quite well. The most important number being the destiny number 7 for you, areas where research, intuition, attention to details, high quality and generally where manual labor is not required would be appropriate for you. Your day of birth number is 5 making you good in career relating to communication, travel and areas of sensual satisfaction such as food, fragrances etc. Your name number 3 makes you an artist, very keen on self-expression. It’s important that you maintain cheerful and uplifting surroundings, so that you don’t feel confined or dull.
SHOULD I CHANGE MY SCHOOL?
Question:
Dear Priti ~ I am going into the last years of high school and am finding it difficult to want to stay at the school I attend. It is in a small town and everybody seems to be very two faced because they have nothing better to do but talk about people. I would like to attend a bigger school and I was wondering if this would be a good idea? I know that at every school there will be gossip but I have been to a variety of schools in my life and this seems to be the worst, please give me some advice on this. - Kylie – (letter edited and birth data omitted at writer’s request)
Answer:
Numerologist Priti responds: Dear Kylie ~ I hope you have spoken to your parents and have spoken to your school counselor as well about this. Please consider their advice seriously. Peer pressure, not “fitting” in due to any reason or below par performance in any aspect of school life, are reasons, which can quite easily lead to depression and anxiety. Please believe in yourself, recognize the special person that you are and have faith that the challenges coming your way, will make you even more special and confident, after you’ve tackled them in the best way you can. If you are sure that certain students’ behavior in school, need to be brought to others’ attention, then do it in the proper manner. Most of all rest assured that the universe gives you the right opportunities at the right time. So take the time to reflect on your environment, the people around you and on your own thought patterns and behavior. As your day of birth, full name and first name expression, each reduce to the master number 11/2, you may find voluntary service a healthy outlet for your energies. Helping others will help you feel more good and confident about yourself. This will take off the weight given to “fitting in”, as you become happier with your own life, rather than wonder what others think or talk about you. You are a very creative person too. Channel your sensitivity into creative endeavors, when you wish to take time off from studies. Slowly, you will attract the right kind of people and friends into your life, as they start recognizing how unique you truly are. Please do not allow your studies to suffer due to neglect. If, at any time you feel vengeful, remember that success is a sweet revenge….which finally benefits you. So, work towards a brighter future.
WILL I GET MARRIED AND HAVE A FAMILY?
Question:
Dear Priti ~ I hope all is well with you. I've always felt that my life as I live it is part of a plan that I'm not aware of in a conscious way. And I feel that I'm living the life I am supposed to be leading. I like my life. It has only become important to me in the past few years to get married and have a family. (For years this was a non-priority.) Does marrying and having a family seem to be part of "my plan?" - Nellie – (letter edited and birth data omitted at writer’s request)
Answer:
Numerologist Priti responds: Dear Nellie ~ “Your plan” is what you decide should be your plan, and you take the steps towards making it work for you. If you are satisfied with the way your life’s going and are happy with the fulfillment that comes in areas, other than family life, that’s great! If it has become important to you to get married and have a family, then make it a part of your future plans, and take the steps towards it by meeting other singles etc. Do remember that everything doesn’t happen the way we wish it would. As you get close to another, you will realize that a close relationship requires understanding, adjustment, co-operation and compromise. If you haven’t been in an intimate relationship earlier, these attributes may be new to you, as you may have to bring them into your personality in a different way. Your numerological profile indicates a person who enjoys relationships, as the number 2 figures quite prominently. Your destiny number reduces to an 11/2, your day of birth number is 2 and your first name expression number is 20/2. The desire for independence and occasional solitude is also clear, as your destiny number first reduces to 11, your full name soul urge number is a 1, your first name soul urge number is 7 and the numeric values of all the letters in your complete name are odd. Hence, as you have been used to living an independent life, making adjustments in living with another will be a gradual process. The prominent 2 indicates that you are a very sensitive and gentle person who would rather be diplomatic, than argumentative when there are differences of opinion. If you are very emotional, and for some reason are afraid of getting hurt by another, this may have been an important reason for keeping away from relationships. However, it’s only after you make yourself vulnerable by opening to another, that you can attract chances for sweet success.
WHY IS THE UNIVERSE CONSTANTLY TESTING US?
Question:
Dear Priti ~ Mike and I have known each other for over two years and have always felt an incredible energy when we are together as well as a close companionship. But he would periodically disappear for a couple weeks to a month or so, for no apparent reason, then reemerge. Things would be incredible again for a time, then the disappearing act again. This confusion would make me so sad at times. Five months ago something changed dramatically in the dynamics of our relationship and we began seeing each other all the time (long weekends) or were in constant contact. (He lived out of state at the time.) We both knew how right it felt and sincerely confessed our love to one another. Then suddenly he had huge challenges to deal with when his Dad was diagnosed with cancer. He was urged to relocate home, needed to pack up all of his belongings in a home he had lived in for 6 years, move, find a new job, etc. It has been tough all around since he relocated back here. Not to mention the stress he has been under from the whole relocation, and concern for his father. His family is somewhat dysfunctional and very controlling. Now that we have found our place together and feel good about our relationship, we have so little time to spend together. It is almost as if the Universe is testing us at every turn. I had our astrological charts done and it shows a less than perfect match made in heaven. From our DOBs you can see that I am some years older than he is. Yet I have no doubt that his feelings for me are very real, as are mine for him. We are so at peace when we are together, it feels so right. I just wonder why we had to go down such a bumpy road to finally get to where we are in this place of love, only to be challenged again and again. Will this road always be so bumpy? Do our numerology profiles show a happy ending? I can deal with anything as long as I understand. It’s the not understanding, for me, that makes it so difficult. Can you tell me anything about our situation? - Coco – (letter edited and birth data omitted at writer’s request)
Answer:
Numerologist Priti responds: Dear Coco ~ Your boyfriend has a very strong 7 in his profile: his destiny number, day of birth number and full name expression number, all reduce to a 7. He has three 7s in his complete date of birth as well. In the positive, he can be very honest, intuitive, and philosophical. In the negative, he can be very secretive, able to deceive others and prone to self-deception himself. He also needs private time and space on a regular basis. His name numbers indicate a very service-oriented person: one committed to helping others, especially family. His first name expression number is 33/6, first name soul urge number is 6 and full name soul urge number is 11/2. Where family is concerned, they probably always come first with him, at least right now. If his family is aware of and not too happy about your relationship, he may decide to go as per their wishes. Quite often the universe tries to protect us in its own way. If things aren’t working, then either the endeavor itself is not suitable for some reason or the time isn’t right. Both your full name soul urge numbers indicate a great deal of attraction to each other. Your full name (maiden and marital) soul urge is 7, same as the strong 7 in his profile. His full name soul urge 11/2, is same as your destiny number 11/2 and your complete maiden name expression 11/2. Your present age and his personal year both are 11/2, indicating that this is a very emotional time for both of you, and could prove to be highly transformational. You are in your personal year 4, and his present age reduces to a 4. Both of you therefore, though interested in increasing stability in your life, are keenly aware of conventions and conventional ties, like family ties. Your 16 year age difference may not matter to both of you. But if his family cannot accept this relationship, he may decide to give in to their wishes by distancing himself and at the same time, as he loves you, he may decide to be alone. The number 7 as appearing so prominently in his profile does indicate a strong possibility that the person may decide to remain independent. You may also want to think about the areas in which you have similar interests and the areas where the two of you are very different from each other. This could give you an idea of how your life could be, if you did end up together. With your day of birth number 3, destiny number 11/2 and first name expression number 6, you are certainly a very relationship-oriented person. His prominent 7, on the other hand shows a person who may more often than not, wish to stay aloof, except for very close ties. As in you are in a very emotional phase right now, it is important that you take care of your health and well being. At the same time, please renew your relationships in other areas of life, so that you feel less “dependent” on your love relationship.
WILL I BE CHANGING CAREERS SOON?
Question:
Dear Priti ~ At this moment, there are lots of talks of big changes going on in my company that I am wondering how they would affect me. Having been fired in Sept. 2009, it took me about 8 months (June 2010) to find this job. However, with the economy being the way it is now and companies no longer "caring" for loyal, capable employees, I wonder what these changes mean to me. I do not think my heart/pocket could take another layoff. I have been working triple harder and diligently to gain my bosses' and peers' respect, and avoid conflicts. I have been even thinking of taking off in a different direction, doing what? I do not know. Thanks for your insight into my career, opportunities, pitfalls, etc. - Concerned worker – (letter edited and birth data omitted at writer’s request)
Answer:
Numerologist Priti responds: Dear Concerned worker ~ The numbers 5 and 9 are prominent in your profile. Your destiny number and first name soul urge number, both reduce to a 5. 9 is your day of birth and personal number, and it recurs thrice in your date of birth. I’m not sure about the kind of work you do, but if your current job does not allow you a lot of communication, interaction with different kinds of people, diversified roles and/ or travel, then a career change is quite possible. You are in your mid-40s now. I don’t know whether you had any career change (in a different direction altogether) during the last 15 years or whether you traveled a lot. If this hasn’t happened in the last 15 years, then the present circumstances may be pushing you to make long overdue changes in your professional life. If change has to come, it will come you can’t stop it. At the same time, if your current job suits you well, and the fact that you’re “fit” for the job is very clear, then its quite likely that, things will improve for you. If, you do decide to change your career completely and are confused as to which direction to head in, you may want to look into areas which offer you one or more of the following: communication, travel, interaction with different kinds of people and/or playing diversified roles. It will become more important to you to have the freedom to decide your own timetable. Presently, after marriage, your first name has become more important. Your first name expression reduces to 8, indicating that you can be an ambitious, determined, and organized businesswoman. You will just have to be careful that you remain disciplined and do not give in to restlessness. Do keep in mind that things generally nudge us in the right direction. It therefore becomes important to pay attention to what the universe is trying to tell us. You are highly intuitive. Please listen to your intuition, pay attention to what your heart wants and remain practical too. Your age as per your coming birthday, reduces to a 1, indicating that you are about to start a whole new phase of life. Your personal year 6 and destiny 5 indicate that the phase may be about deciding what you really wish to do. You may be torn between service vs. being independent, long term stability vis-à-vis freedom to have your own timetable, responsibility towards family vs. desire to follow a new direction, which your heart may be keen on. Do take the time to carefully sift through choices, and as and when developments in your company give you a clearer picture of what is to come, then decide accordingly.
Question:
Dear Priti ~ I read your book, “Your Name Reveals Your Nature”, and found it very helpful. Though my name, Dilip, is there in the book, I would like to know if there’s anything more you can tell me from this name itself. My friend, Jigar, whose name is not in the book, is also keen to get an insight into what his name reveals about him. - Dilip
Answer:
Numerologist Priti responds: Dear Dilip ~ In the book, I have focused on the final numbers arrived at from the complete name (expression number), vowels (soul urge number), and the numeric value of the first letter in the name. However the gross total especially of the name expression number gives further insights than of the final number. Your name first adds up to 32, before reducing to a 5 (3 + 2 = 5). Though 5 reveals an independent, freedom loving personality, the 3 and 2 indicate that you definitely enjoy being with people. You like to bring cheer, are quite sociable and strive to bring harmony while remaining the adaptable 5. As for your friend, Jigar, please request him to read up on the name Jatin, as it has the same final numbers.
HAVE QUIT MY CAREER AND AM UNDECIDED ABOUT HIGHER STUDIES
Question:
Dear Priti ~ I am a 26-year old woman, and recently quit my IT job as I had no interest in that field, though I did work for 3 years in IT. I am planning to study further but am unsure as to the studies I should take up so that I can work in a field which interests me and is suitable for me. Please advise about appropriate studies or suitable career choices.- Rachael – (letter edited and birth data omitted at writer’s request)
Answer:
Numerologist Priti responds: Dear Rachael ~ You indicated a lack of interest in IT, in which you had worked for 3 years. However, at that time you had picked up those studies, completed them and then went on to work for 3 years in the same, So you did have interest, but then you lost it and are seeking some other professional choices which will satisfy you. There are suitable career choices and areas of study which will interest you immensely. These I have detailed below. Your date of birth as well as first name expression number reduces to a 5, your destiny number from complete date of birth is 7 and your full name expression number is 3. Your first name expression number is also 5. The most important point that arises from your numbers is a restless personality who quickly gives in to boredom or may possibly be deceiving herself of the reasons why a certain career is not appropriate anymore. In the positive, your numbers also indicate a versatile, highly alert, intuitive and analytical person, who is excellent in fields of research and communication/ self-expression. In order that you stay for a long time in any career and grow in the same, it is imperative that you exercise self-discipline. Choose your field of study/ career carefully and then restrain yourself from feeling bored. Also, invest your energies in creative forms of self-expression such as writing, singing, dancing, other forms of arts, so that your expressive and creative abilities get channeled. This will help make you more self-disciplined too. Your numbers being mainly odd, you are quite independent and can be very unconventional too. At the same time, the 3 and 5 in your profile make you versatile and hence you can handle different tasks and roles quite well. The most important number being the destiny number 7 for you, areas where research, intuition, attention to details, high quality and generally where manual labor is not required would be appropriate for you. Your day of birth number is 5 making you good in career relating to communication, travel and areas of sensual satisfaction such as food, fragrances etc. Your name number 3 makes you an artist, very keen on self-expression. It’s important that you maintain cheerful and uplifting surroundings, so that you don’t feel confined or dull.
SHOULD I CHANGE MY SCHOOL?
Question:
Dear Priti ~ I am going into the last years of high school and am finding it difficult to want to stay at the school I attend. It is in a small town and everybody seems to be very two faced because they have nothing better to do but talk about people. I would like to attend a bigger school and I was wondering if this would be a good idea? I know that at every school there will be gossip but I have been to a variety of schools in my life and this seems to be the worst, please give me some advice on this. - Kylie – (letter edited and birth data omitted at writer’s request)
Answer:
Numerologist Priti responds: Dear Kylie ~ I hope you have spoken to your parents and have spoken to your school counselor as well about this. Please consider their advice seriously. Peer pressure, not “fitting” in due to any reason or below par performance in any aspect of school life, are reasons, which can quite easily lead to depression and anxiety. Please believe in yourself, recognize the special person that you are and have faith that the challenges coming your way, will make you even more special and confident, after you’ve tackled them in the best way you can. If you are sure that certain students’ behavior in school, need to be brought to others’ attention, then do it in the proper manner. Most of all rest assured that the universe gives you the right opportunities at the right time. So take the time to reflect on your environment, the people around you and on your own thought patterns and behavior. As your day of birth, full name and first name expression, each reduce to the master number 11/2, you may find voluntary service a healthy outlet for your energies. Helping others will help you feel more good and confident about yourself. This will take off the weight given to “fitting in”, as you become happier with your own life, rather than wonder what others think or talk about you. You are a very creative person too. Channel your sensitivity into creative endeavors, when you wish to take time off from studies. Slowly, you will attract the right kind of people and friends into your life, as they start recognizing how unique you truly are. Please do not allow your studies to suffer due to neglect. If, at any time you feel vengeful, remember that success is a sweet revenge….which finally benefits you. So, work towards a brighter future.
WILL I GET MARRIED AND HAVE A FAMILY?
Question:
Dear Priti ~ I hope all is well with you. I've always felt that my life as I live it is part of a plan that I'm not aware of in a conscious way. And I feel that I'm living the life I am supposed to be leading. I like my life. It has only become important to me in the past few years to get married and have a family. (For years this was a non-priority.) Does marrying and having a family seem to be part of "my plan?" - Nellie – (letter edited and birth data omitted at writer’s request)
Answer:
Numerologist Priti responds: Dear Nellie ~ “Your plan” is what you decide should be your plan, and you take the steps towards making it work for you. If you are satisfied with the way your life’s going and are happy with the fulfillment that comes in areas, other than family life, that’s great! If it has become important to you to get married and have a family, then make it a part of your future plans, and take the steps towards it by meeting other singles etc. Do remember that everything doesn’t happen the way we wish it would. As you get close to another, you will realize that a close relationship requires understanding, adjustment, co-operation and compromise. If you haven’t been in an intimate relationship earlier, these attributes may be new to you, as you may have to bring them into your personality in a different way. Your numerological profile indicates a person who enjoys relationships, as the number 2 figures quite prominently. Your destiny number reduces to an 11/2, your day of birth number is 2 and your first name expression number is 20/2. The desire for independence and occasional solitude is also clear, as your destiny number first reduces to 11, your full name soul urge number is a 1, your first name soul urge number is 7 and the numeric values of all the letters in your complete name are odd. Hence, as you have been used to living an independent life, making adjustments in living with another will be a gradual process. The prominent 2 indicates that you are a very sensitive and gentle person who would rather be diplomatic, than argumentative when there are differences of opinion. If you are very emotional, and for some reason are afraid of getting hurt by another, this may have been an important reason for keeping away from relationships. However, it’s only after you make yourself vulnerable by opening to another, that you can attract chances for sweet success.
WHY IS THE UNIVERSE CONSTANTLY TESTING US?
Question:
Dear Priti ~ Mike and I have known each other for over two years and have always felt an incredible energy when we are together as well as a close companionship. But he would periodically disappear for a couple weeks to a month or so, for no apparent reason, then reemerge. Things would be incredible again for a time, then the disappearing act again. This confusion would make me so sad at times. Five months ago something changed dramatically in the dynamics of our relationship and we began seeing each other all the time (long weekends) or were in constant contact. (He lived out of state at the time.) We both knew how right it felt and sincerely confessed our love to one another. Then suddenly he had huge challenges to deal with when his Dad was diagnosed with cancer. He was urged to relocate home, needed to pack up all of his belongings in a home he had lived in for 6 years, move, find a new job, etc. It has been tough all around since he relocated back here. Not to mention the stress he has been under from the whole relocation, and concern for his father. His family is somewhat dysfunctional and very controlling. Now that we have found our place together and feel good about our relationship, we have so little time to spend together. It is almost as if the Universe is testing us at every turn. I had our astrological charts done and it shows a less than perfect match made in heaven. From our DOBs you can see that I am some years older than he is. Yet I have no doubt that his feelings for me are very real, as are mine for him. We are so at peace when we are together, it feels so right. I just wonder why we had to go down such a bumpy road to finally get to where we are in this place of love, only to be challenged again and again. Will this road always be so bumpy? Do our numerology profiles show a happy ending? I can deal with anything as long as I understand. It’s the not understanding, for me, that makes it so difficult. Can you tell me anything about our situation? - Coco – (letter edited and birth data omitted at writer’s request)
Answer:
Numerologist Priti responds: Dear Coco ~ Your boyfriend has a very strong 7 in his profile: his destiny number, day of birth number and full name expression number, all reduce to a 7. He has three 7s in his complete date of birth as well. In the positive, he can be very honest, intuitive, and philosophical. In the negative, he can be very secretive, able to deceive others and prone to self-deception himself. He also needs private time and space on a regular basis. His name numbers indicate a very service-oriented person: one committed to helping others, especially family. His first name expression number is 33/6, first name soul urge number is 6 and full name soul urge number is 11/2. Where family is concerned, they probably always come first with him, at least right now. If his family is aware of and not too happy about your relationship, he may decide to go as per their wishes. Quite often the universe tries to protect us in its own way. If things aren’t working, then either the endeavor itself is not suitable for some reason or the time isn’t right. Both your full name soul urge numbers indicate a great deal of attraction to each other. Your full name (maiden and marital) soul urge is 7, same as the strong 7 in his profile. His full name soul urge 11/2, is same as your destiny number 11/2 and your complete maiden name expression 11/2. Your present age and his personal year both are 11/2, indicating that this is a very emotional time for both of you, and could prove to be highly transformational. You are in your personal year 4, and his present age reduces to a 4. Both of you therefore, though interested in increasing stability in your life, are keenly aware of conventions and conventional ties, like family ties. Your 16 year age difference may not matter to both of you. But if his family cannot accept this relationship, he may decide to give in to their wishes by distancing himself and at the same time, as he loves you, he may decide to be alone. The number 7 as appearing so prominently in his profile does indicate a strong possibility that the person may decide to remain independent. You may also want to think about the areas in which you have similar interests and the areas where the two of you are very different from each other. This could give you an idea of how your life could be, if you did end up together. With your day of birth number 3, destiny number 11/2 and first name expression number 6, you are certainly a very relationship-oriented person. His prominent 7, on the other hand shows a person who may more often than not, wish to stay aloof, except for very close ties.
