Some more details about the numbers:
If you're a 1: You can achieve distinctive position in life, if you use your talents wisely. Develop self-control, grow love in your heart and remember that though you are leaders, you need others to help you work your way to the top. Independence will come your way, recognize this is an asset as it allows you to focus on your true dreams and desires.
If you're a 2: You have the ability to see both sides of any situation and your desire for harmony is so strong that you are a natural diplomat. Bring balance in your emotionality, channel intense emotions into creative interests, voice your feelings and above all, have faith. It is imperative you realize that unless you respect your feelings, nobody else will.
If you're a 3: Most gifted with exceptional expression skills, the need for creative communication may be so great that other important issues or underlying currents may be overlooked. You may find it very difficult to express your emotions. Once you learn to release your emotions whilst respecting others' sensitivities, you can apply your boundless imagination to exciting endeavors, which can lead you to shining center stage moments.
If you're a 4: Uranus, the ruling planet for this number is considered by some to be the "Eureka" planet. You, one of the most down-to-earth persons, can be a specialist in your chosen profession. You are capable of highly detailed work. However, in your desire to be always practical, you may suppress flashes of intuition…which in fact, could lead you to your well deserved "Eureka" moment. Once in a while, skip the routine, step back and re-assess the direction in which you want your life to go.
If you're a 5: What you may not realize is the creative energy and state of high alert sparked off when your senses and curiosity are aroused. In the positive, this might mean a new interest or skill picked up quickly and with relative ease. In the negative, you could resort to overindulgence or escapism via food, alcohol, drugs, sex, etc. Self-discipline, positive use of freedom, adapting to change without reluctance and conscious realization of the reasons for confusing behavior become very important in order to make better choices.
If you're a 6: You find great fulfillment in serving others. Don't forget to cultivate your inherent artistic talents, as these will calm and soothe your soul, when despite your best efforts, there is disharmony in your relationships. When you cultivate such creative interests, there will be less emphasis on attracting happiness from family alone. This, in turn, will bring a required balance, in the amount of importance you attach to harmony and self-sacrifice expected in family relationships.
If you're a 7: You are a dignified, elegant, and truth-seeking philosopher. Don't be scared of your dreams. You may be clairvoyant and that may frighten you. Walk through the path, deal with your demons, and then you will realize the extraordinary gift you possess. Don't deny truths that you instinctively feel, however absurd they appear to be. Remember that everything is possible.
If you're an 8: The number 8, which stands for big business, power, recognition, social status, material success and aggression, is normally not associated with sensitivity. But in fact great depths of emotion are buried within this number. When a number 8 person is balanced, she is discriminating, good at judging people and events, and uses sensitive tact and diplomacy to get what she wants. To reach this pinnacle of awareness, she has to first respect her own and others' emotions. When such feelings are not acknowledged, consciously or unconsciously she becomes aggressive, seeking power by force.
If you're a 9: You are the universal friend and gentle albeit brave healer, who does not bother with culture, lifestyle, color or materialistic differences. Seeking perfection in higher matters may become so important that day-to-day practical necessities are overlooked, leading to problems or confusions in close relationships. Do remember to feather your own nest and spend private time with loved ones. The greatest tests for you may lie in the area of forgiveness. But, what you may need to learn most of all is the ability to forgive yourself for any imperfection you see in your own personality or life. Remember that no one is perfect.
If you're an 11: "11" which is considered a master number needs careful understanding as the person vibrates between the double dose of the confident, aggressive, ambitious and independent 1 and the quieter, more submissive and peaceful 2. At times obstinate and stubborn, you can suddenly become very emotional and passive too. Your own behavior may confuse you immensely and make others wonder as well.
