This article was inspired by an email I received recently. Thanks Serena. Here is the email:
Ellis, I'm hoping you'll be able to answer a simple question that's been bugging me for ages with regards numerology - failed in my quest to find an answer so far so here goes ...
How come is it that, according to the Zodiac, we are now in the 10th House of Capricorn and yet the World consensus is that we are in month 01? Actually, this example makes no difference numerologically but as the houses progress, you can understand the conondrum. I've always wondered why my birthday, late September, for example, is given as 7th House but 9th month; surely September is the 7th month corresponding with Virgo/Libra. The first month of the year in the Zodiac Aries, yet it falls on month 3/4 in our World view calander.
I know this would play havoc with some numerological predictions but does it not make sense? After all, if we look at 9/11/3 it would still be pertinent in occult terms as 7/11/3 and the London bombings would be just as interesting at 7/9/7 as 7/7/7 - 9 being the number of Mars.
Why do numerologists follow the World as opposed to Zodiacal Calander? Trying to make sense of this World from all angles, hope this is an easy one to answer so I can stop worrying my pretty little head over it!

The answer to this is even more complicated than you might suspect. It won't be very popular in some quarters (but what the heck). Anyway, it is vital to appreciate that both the sciences of numbers - Numerology, and of reading the stars - Astrology, as they stand, as we perceive them, have nothing to do with describing our genuine natures, or indeed predicting our divinely intended destiny, or anything else that is authentic to our individual and collective journeys.
They both have everything to do with demonstrating the diabolical programming that causes us to act and respond according to a plan that was first set down several thousands of years ago. In other words they are means by which the wounded human traveller and his or her travails are revealed.
One of the most cunning things about this dark agenda I am referring to is that it uses natural harmonics, frequencies, vibrations - whatever you want to call them to mould and fashion us into pre-contrived patterns of behaviour - all of which accord necessarily with the multitudinous natural cycles that this realm is constructed from. Our realm, we might consider, is everything that we are aware of that we can recognise by physical means (i.e. our 5 senses) - which, as we know is continuously expanding, but at the same time being monitored, and edited, before we are informed about anything new.
Numerous Schools of Astrology and Numerology abound. In fundamental ways they disagree with each other both in their own discipline and, as Serena pointed out, with each other. This again, by default and design, is all part of the agenda to confuse us and to create divisions. With Astrology, and I'm not an astrologer, the three prevalent schools are based on ancient Indian, Babylonian and Chinese teachings, said to derive from their observations (How do we know these are actually true accounts?). Added to this turmoil are the sceptics who have seized on the irrationality of long ago star locations (as they related to the Earth and our solar system) influencing us on present day Earth. And then there are the 13 sign-adherents and the other cultural systems that the pedantic starry-eyes have unfortunately always averted their gaze from.
The written word then, holds massive potential for individual and societal control. What is more the individual letters, especially in the Roman alphabet (because it is used everywhere now in the form of English) is designed to induce ways of thinking that enhance other mind programming tools like the Holy Bible.1 In fact, the English Alphabet and its letters have been largely designed around the Genesis Creation story. Other communication systems like Hebrew and Greek alphabets also foment mental compliance to an inhibiting designated system. The forms of numbers too are occult programming symbols and both letters and numbers are significant factors in Numerology and Astrology charting. I've been working on a manuscript for a few years that demonstrates this. It isn't finished and I'm not sure when it will be. I might put it up on the net - warts an' all. If readers are interested then please let me know.
And so, on to Numerology... For a start it depends for data on two contrived setups - the date systems and the alphabet systems. This fact alone should set alarm bells ringing - all is not as it should be. Sound (names and words) and light (birth and other dates, times etc) are intrinsic to our natural environment but the symbols and orders we adhere to are not. This applies to both Numerology and Astrology - and I would suggest that Numerology must have come first because counting came first, in fact, as Pythagoras is reputed to have maintained, 'number is everything'. Before we can recognise anything number must initiate it. Think about it. The point is that numbers are, in themselves, faithful; they describe energy and its permutations; whereas the way they are used does not have to be, and in the fundamental systems that govern our worldly affairs they are not.
Serena mentioned September, which we all know means the 7th month, or the 7th sky, yet it is interpreted as the 9th month because of our imposed Gregorian calendar system. (It was the 7th month in the Roman era until 153BCE). It ain't natural. Aries, in the zodiacal system is, as she says, is taken (I nearly said considered, but it can't have been) as the first House. That's a pile of sheep's wotsit too now. Much depends upon where you want to begin an incarnation to ascertain the beginning, and this is another contentious matter. Some say it's at the moment of birth while others (including myself incidentally) hold that it is the moment of conception. Birthtime is easily recorded (but is vulnerable to the agenda layed out above as well as other factors) while conception time is not (for most of us anyway - although the the El-ites of the Dark Ones make arrangements for this to accord with their ambitions.) For the rest of us we have to guess, although sometimes our intuition can give us insight at the time or some later point. (In these times of artificial insemination parents can know this but can they be sure whose sperm the women are receiving?)
So, which one is right? Numerology that says January is number 1 or Astrology that insists that Aries (mainly April - the 4th month of the Gregorian calendar) is the 1st House? Neither, but one of the things January and Aries have in common is death and violence - Saturn (ruler of Capricorn - most of January including the so-called New Years Day puh!) and Mars (ruler of Aries) in that order and each having much to do with each other.2 On 2nd September 1752 the British Empire (on which the sun never set remember?) introduced the Gregorian Calendar. This occured during the sign of Virgo - the Virgin, ruled by Mercury (the Messenger [Saturn's snitch] - written words especially). This Saturnian and male dominated calendar system is based on a term of 400 years, which includes 303 (33 with a dark sun - 0 enclosed) common years and 97 leap years (97 adds to 16 - 4x4 and symbolises ejaculation amongst other things, and 16 adds to 7). Number 97 itself describes secrets within cycles - or an occult cycle). Number 4 is Saturn's number - the number of strictures and limitations. Saturn, as a matter of interest, has 33 moons.
Further "there is a period of 153 days divided over 5 months in an alternating pattern from March to July that repeats from August to December". (ref: Wikepedia) Number 153, you might remember, is the number of fishes caught by 7 apostles in a single catch. Fish, as it does in Pisces, symbolise sperm. (I won't go into it here but number 153 is a very interesting number, type in "153 fishes" into a search engine, if you've a mind to.).
The date of the calendar transition (2 September 1752 adds to 8 (2 + 9 + 1752 = 1763 = 17 = 8) which is a symbol of cyclical transition, repetition, limitation, order and time. September, as the 9th month represents such things as the serpent, fish, sperm, the end of a cycle (transition from one state to another - in 9s case, from matter to spirit. Virgo representing the main part of September is the 6th house, which represents the same things because 6 is the same figure as 9 but reversed; so in this case the transition is from spirit to matter and suggests impregnation - the arrival of the soul at conception. Note that the calendar was installed in the British Empire in the 9th month of a 6 year (1+7+5+2 = 15 = 6).
So what the Darkness has done is to sew up the fundamental systems by which human society regulates itself enabling it to control every soul throughout every moment of its experience in this physical world. From conception we are all herded into our prescribed lines according to the numbers derived from our names and calendar dates which are systems devised or channelled by the warlocks of religion.
Unless you have studied the esoteric arts and sciences, especially Numerology, like I have, readers will probably not be able to appreciate the immense influence that symbols, numbers and letters have over human behaviour. I understand how bizarre this might sound to the profane who are often the know-it-alls who in their self-contained frightened little worlds think (mistakenly) that it is safer to debunk than to explore. Every one of them will have numbers 4, 6 or 8 prominent in their numerology charts, maybe all of these numbers. (A zero in the chart can indicate a closed mind as well.) Number 4 - the square, number 6 - the box or number 8 - containment/control - they are all prone to obsessive and critical behaviour as well. These are the frequencies that describe the channels they have been chivied into and that they are content to accept. However, don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with these frequencies. They have wonderful properties such as attention to detail, responsibity, caring and focus. It is just that instead of struggling to cram everyone into the same box as them I wonder why they don't use the other frequencies they have to step out of it and explore in a more dynamic way the mysteries of life.

As you can see from the above James Randi's full name totals 3, the number of the trickster; which is very apt for a magician. When he was challenged by a New York university professor once, Randi famously quipped, "Yes indeed, I'm a trickster, I'm a cheat, I'm a charlatan, that's what I do for a living. Everything I've done here was by trickery" - perfectly describing a number 3 energy. 3s want to be heard, they are communicators and often showmen and women. They like to investigate things.
Also from the above we can see that both his birth name and stage-name (public name) contain the numbers I predicted above - 4, 6 and 8 - (4 and 8 strongly). The doubled-up numbers (44, 88 and 11 in Mr Randi's case) are known as Master Numbers. In Numerology they are regarded as having enhanced effect - which makes sense to me on an energetic level. Another aspect of Master Numbers, I have discovered, is that they reveal compulsive tracks because they are so overwhelming. Mr Randi then is locked onto tracks (frequency waves) described by 1, 4 and 8. The other numbers in the name, names (and birthdate when present) indicate what he will do within those (governing) tracks.
Numbers 44 and 88
These imposing numbers (44-44) lock him securely into a conventional way of dealing with the world. To a 44 the Earth is flat, mundane, and with no mystery. 88 on the other hand has more give to it. 8s have a more expansive view of the world than 4, though one-tracked they do recognise at least one other possibility (represented by the two circles). 8s are usually strong willed and confident in their opinion but they hold everything tight and have much of the pedant about them, as do 4s and 6s. However there is something else to consider about the name Randall. It conceals an opportunity that needs the courage to dispose of predisposition - which all three of these numbers find difficult. The break lies in the combination of 8 and 8 giving 16. This number violently demolishes convention and the ego it supports. It isn't a number that can be controlled. If this frequency decides to dispense with the stronghold or comfort zone then it will come hell or high water. It produces surprises. Reference Tarot Tower
Number 11
Number 11 wants to stand out and be noticed. It is a frequency with a multiple personality and an ability to mix with many differing facets of society. It can be the trickster as well (like 3). Number 1 (the Magician in the Tarot by the way) is the number of potential, it is go-getting and always wanting to be on top.
In James Randi's full birth name we have number 5 in the 88 track. Number 5 loves to explore and investigate but it is an addictive energy and can become over absorbed to a point where it can see nothing else but what it believes. However 5 is also the number of freedom and change so the name Randall actually wants to experience unusual things. Combined with the potential 16 life-changing drama is always a possibility. Number 16, when its numbers are added together, give 7. 7s like to know things, can appear to be eccentric or project a superior air, and it likes to criticise - they prefer to say 'test'. 7 is also the number of Randi's birthday.
When the full Birth Name Number and the Birthpath Number are combined (the Pulse) we get 11. When his Public Name Number, the one most used - James Randi - is added to his Birthpath Number we get 8 again.

Number 6s like to be thought of as dependable. They are conventional, responsible and caring energies. Often burdened and because of this don't get out of their box much.
For the other number meanings see above.
* A note to sceptics:
We do not have to believe in either of these esoteric sciences of Numerology and Astrology, we don't even need to know anything about them. In fact they would much rather that we didn't - hence the demonising of both by the very bodies who still represent the demonic power that first introduced evil into humanity's awareness - the Darkness. The fact remains - they work, but only because of the ingrained programming that humans are regulated by.
Now, I want to make clear that the examples of Mr Randi and the late Mr Klass are not intended as a criticism. They are perhaps the foremost sceptics of our age and that is why I have used them as subjects. There are others of course. In Britain there are, for example, Chris French, Susan Blackmore and Richard Wiseman - all three, if you work their numbers out oblige to what I'm saying above - which of course they must do. You might want to try it out on the nay-sayers you know. You might find it eye-opening too to check out the numbers of conspiracy researchers. Some people can see the walls.
Like everyone else in the world - except maybe those fortunate enough to live away from the demented maelstrom of Western civilisation - they plod their weary way, blinkered, tightly bound to the wheel never to see the sun of their own true potential and that which shines upon the truth of infinite possibilities. Yet...merely recognising that we are bound should urge us to break free surely? What to do?
If what I am saying here is true, it may seem that we are doomed. We cannot change something so ingrained and permanent as the systems that have locked onto us from the beginning. How can we remotely have any chance of dismantling something so pervasive as the alphabet or the symbols we use for counting every day? The answer must be for each of us to cast of these manacles and shrouds. We, all of us, have the means.
Just think about what it is in your life that consumes you. What is it that you regard as the primary motivation for what you do, how you behave? What is your immediate reaction? Be scrupulously honest, because whatever it is, that is a clue to your programming. It is what controls everything you do and it is in all likelihood nothing, or very little, to do with the real essence of what your life journey is intended to achieve. When you have defined what it is that you think you are most suited to you will discover that it fits what your 'stars' or your 'numbers' say you should be like. So consider these suggestions:
Anything you do as a matter of routine is likely to be a trait of conditioning - lose the routine or change the way you do it and how often you commit to it. Obsession is possession.
Learn to appreciate difference rather than criticise it.
Many of the things we do are because we think we should, other people expect these things of us. None of us, if we have grown up, should require anything of anyone. When people do things for us, or we do things for them, they should be regarded as gifts not obligations.
Do something different, something you'd never dare to do, even if you think you don't want to. Life is about exploration and taking risks.
Reconnect with nature.
Daydream.
Meditate.
Be thankful.
Be wise about what you focus most of your attention upon. There is enough darkness. You know our societies are callous and corrupt - don't add to it. What we need is Light and Love.
Think optimistically. Be positive.
Be true to your true self.
Be Loving to yourself and others.
Love that spirit that yearns to explore the boundless opportunities of living. It doesn't have to be something drastic.
A beautiful world awaits us. Namaste.
