Beware the ides of March!

Though for Australia's PM, Kevin Rudd, it was the 23rd June! 

Congratulations to Julia Gillard, Australia's very first female Prime Minister!

Political preferences aside, you have to feel compassion for Kevin Rudd the man. As I watched him say his goodbyes as PM, I felt very saddened at the way he was so ruthlessly cut down. I count my blessings for not having chosen a career in politics.

What killed Kevin Rudd? Numerically, it was his inability to follow the mandate of the number two, which is this millennium's directive. He failed to cooperate, to  negotiate, to dialogue, to include others, to work with others, to get on with others. He failed to understand that many roads can lead to Rome, apart from his preferred choice. He thought he could do it all. But this is not the way of this millennium. To quote this mornings SMH.com.au, "He proved the party's greatest electoral asset since Bob Hawke and did what only half a     dozen Labor leaders have done since Federation: he brought the party in from opposition to government. And the party rewarded him with unprecedented powers. This was emphatically - until yesterday - the Rudd Labor government...Rudd believes he can master anything...The subject he never mastered was people...He had to do everything himself. He couldn't trust and didn't delegate...The prime minister found he had few friends where it mattered: in caucus."

 Julia Gillard, PM, is another case in proof of the power and influence of the feminine in this millennium. She will be successful as long as she follows the mandate of the number two as I stated above. Can she do it? With a 19/1 Birth Number, she was born to lead. But the very number which offers her leadership, also challenges her. She will either be too stubborn a leader or someone else will hold the reigns. I think she will sway between these two opposites when push comes to shove.

She has, like Kevin Rudd and Malcolm Turnbull, a very strong personal pride - a huge ego. Will it bring her down? It's up to her. At the moment she appears very much in control and very much a good team player. Today's successful leaders must be leaders and team players at the same time. More importantly, they must know when to lead and when to be part of the team. Ms Gillard has a prominent 11/2 in her profile, so cooperation and peaceful negotiation are traits which she possesses, but so is the strong desire to be more than her 22/4 Destiny. If she can keep her pride and personal wants away from politics and public scrutiny, if she can work with the establishment and be the leader she was born to be at the same time, then she'll succeed. I certainly wish her every success for our nation!

By the way, I predicted that Kevin Rudd would not make a second term only months after he was elected and was riding the biggest wave of popularity. Those of you who were in that classroom at Baulkham Hills High School on that summer's evening may remember!  I'm sure Tom will remember, as he asked the question!

Andrew Johns - puts both feet in mouth!

Little Andrew Johns, little in statue and also in understanding that we are all equal! When Johns was exposed as a drug user in 2007, he was shown a lot of understanding and compassion - by all. So much so that after he cleaned up  he was reinstated in the sport which propelled him to the success and prosperity that had no doubt paid for his drug supply. This is what I wrote in an article about Johns in 2007, 

"Johns was born to live from a higher plane, one of philanthropy and right living; a leader who sets an example for others to follow...For the next three years Johns will be faced with many difficulties. How he responds to these experiences will determine the outcome. There will be times of confusion, anger and even feelings of subordination as life challenges him towards self realisation."

I am sorry that he's blown it again. Perhaps he wasn't in hell long enough to appreciate that being given a regal sports  lifeline is a privilege. A privilege which was given, though not necessarily appreciated. Racist remarks hurt big time - not just those on the receiving end, but also those on the mouthing off end. He has failed to be the leader "who sets an example for others to follow." He has displayed his "anger" by the racial remarks he made to those he was paid to protect. And now he is facing those "feelings of subordination as life challenges him towards self realisation." 

Commendations to Tahu for being the better man for resisting a great big urge to make mince meat out of Johns! 14/6/2010

OUR WORLD IN 2010

The year 2010 has the number three in prime position. The fact that its numbers are comprised in such sequence tells me that there is a need to guard against falling for something too good to be true or of being taken for a ride, a ride which could result in loss. Particularly with the environmental decisions being made this year, we need to know that we are doing what’s best for all.

The number three is considered to be a lucky number, but its luck will only come to you if you are a true believer, otherwise its high powered emotions can drive you into negative territory – and you don’t want that.  Friends and friendships are important and these should be fostered personally and nation with nation. Social events are a -plenty and intended to express joy and happiness. The three is the number of vision, and so even if you’re not living your best life, it asks that you adopt an optimism which carries with it the opportunities to enable you to do just that – to live your best life!  

As we brace ourselves for another year of uncertainty on the world stage, 2010 is definitely one which will inspire humanity toward bigger and better things – but inspiration is just inspiration if it is not backed by good deeds. It is definitely the year for self expression. And while some world leaders will inspire you with their call to action and the possibility of a better world, others will put their foot so far into their mouths that they will stifle their vocal cords as well as their cause.  

Communication in every which manner will matter in 2010. Gossip will flow, but so will words of wisdom and spirit. The option of which to choose is always a personal one for individuals as well as leaders, and one which will leave its mark. So whether you are a world leader or a world citizen, choose what you say with love in your heart – believe me when I say, “It’s the only way forward!”  

If you have managed to hold your head above water in 2009, congratulations but be clear that we are not out of the woods yet, this year will prove to be a testing one. Economically, 2010 will show promise for betterment, however a promise is not instant actuality. This is not a time for extravagant living. Please understand that by extravagant I don’t mean buying a ten carrot diamond or late model Ferrari. By extravagant I mean living beyond one’s means, or spending more than you make, even if it's just a dollar more. If you are in charge of others in a small or worldly way take care not to spend haphazardly, but rather to invest in what will promote good health and prosperity for all.  

The year will bring its fair share of pain and heartache and touch us deeply both as a nation and as individuals. As I said, it is a year for optimism, and when does one have the need be optimistic but when one’s heart strings are stretched to an uncomfortable level which create feelings of discomfort for some and an unbearable ache for others. Without a doubt, it is a year of enjoying the highs and managing the lows. 

This year, 2010, is a significant one for Australia and the USA because it coincides with their destiny numbers. This means that whatever decisions and/or action is taken, they will have a profound effect on the wellbeing and prosperity of these nations. The emphasis is on doing what’s best for today and the future. The enticement for selfish choices will be their, but huge repercussions will follow according to the choices made. Let’s hope they are for good.   

Children will feature this year. Let’s focus on their wellbeing and their importance in our world and in our lives, let’s make their happiness and care of paramount importance. In fact 2010 is a time for us and our leaders to look at our earth through the eyes of a child. And the eyes of a child see through the eyes of love, through a heart filled with love for all. We cannot afford to say yes to anything that will further pollute our environment. It is no longer about which political party to pledge your allegiance; it is about pledging your allegiance to a new earth and those who are implementing new ways of living with the view to clean air and water. If new energy such as nuclear comes with pollutant and deadly garbage that has to be buried only to be uncovered by our children and grand children in the future, then where’s the benefit?  

Please, stand for something or you will risk falling for anything.

And if you fall, we all fall!

Remember, we're all in this together!  A.B. 1/1/10

Congratulations President Barack Obama!

No doubt you've heard or read that we live in interesting times? Well baby, today's US presidential inauguration of Barack Obama is clearly an event that defines the very meaning of that statement - yes we do live in interesting times!

Obama is the 44th President of the USA. From the double 4's adding to an eight and with his RC number totalling to an 8 for his first year - wait there's more - plus the world being in a 224/8 major cycle, he really has his work cut out for him! But you know what? If anyone can make a difference, it's this man. His qualifications are different to his predecessors - his qualifications are precisely the ones needed to take us forward.

Those of you who have a copy of my book, Numbers do not Lie, will no doubt have read the words I am quoting here from page 34, "The World in 2009": Those individuals, groups, leaders and governments that are on the path of enlightenment and spiritual awareness can move forward devoid of any fear or apprehension... In 2009 our relationships with others will be paramount....The year is about achievements and success which will come about only through diplomatic and tactful means...Those that understand the importance of this message and in turn implement working and living with others in peace and harmony with equality and justice will indeed flourish...Peace or crisis; that is the choice for 2009. This year’s number vibration challenges humanity to work together towards universal peace, to work together by negotiating terms and conditions, which will benefit everyone concerned...If the government in power at this time has the intelligence to blend power with spirit, to understand that we are all custodians and keepers of this planet then our future will be secure, enabling us to move forward with peace and confidence. (published in 2005)

Now, I ask you - as you read these words, do they not ring true to the intentions of President Obama? 

BARACK OBAMA - a new president for the USA!

It's interesting but also numeric science that a 2 Birth Number would never have attained high office pre 2000. The world is under the influence of the number 2 for this millennium and amazingly in this Presidential election we have also witnessed the law of attraction in action. Now you know what is meant by "we live in interesting times!" Many would say that today Barack Obama achieved the unachievable. But in actual fact there is no limit to what you can achieve when you live true to the person you were born to be!

Remember when I posted this article, earlier in the year? Well, what can I say - History has been made today!

Here's the article ...

Is this the face of America's next President?

 Barack Obama - a man fit for High Office...???

Many would doubt that this man is capable of leading America out of its "dark night of the soul" and back into the light. Why? Well, he's black, he's young, he's charismatic and he speaks of peaceful negotiation in a world of aggression overload.

And yet, many more are certain that if it’s at all possible, then Barack Obama is the only one who can do it. Why? Well, he's black, he's young, he's charismatic and he speaks of peaceful negotiation in a world of aggression overload.

Alas! …The truths according to human perception!

Now let’s see what Obama’s numbers reveal about him. Barack Obama comes in with a two Birth Number - he is a peacemaker and a negotiator. He's a natural diplomat and getting on with others is essential for his happiness. He likes to help people and will do his utmost to resolve problems amicably. He likes to fit in. His Heart Number is a nine - if he could, he would save the whole world. He’s a man of charity and philanthropy. His sensitivity and gentle nature is what gives him the edge, but on the downside it also makes him very sensitive to what others say about him. But, wait a minute… he sounds like a softy – is he strong enough to be a world leader, someone who will make a difference? Maybe yes, maybe no, depending on what type of world leader you’re thinking of. The leaders needed today are very different to those needed pre 1999. 

In Numerological terms this means that the Universe will no longer support leaders who resolve conflict through the use of aggressive means. We are on the cusp of an evolution of conscious awareness. It’s a beginning time, but we can see that significant changes are already taking place. These past months we have seen history in the making – quite unprecedented stuff! We have witnessed Hilary Clinton, of the female species and Barrack Obama, of the African American species as top contenders for the world’s top job! Can you imagine the remote possibility of this happening even twenty years ago? Surely this is enough to convince even the most elitist of sceptics that the human race is evolving for the better!  

Barack Obama is a man of many talents. He is intelligent, determined and courageous. He’s a doer and is capable of putting in the hard work when his mind is made up that it’s the way to go. On the flipside his numbers tell us that he can be over-caring to the point where he believes to know what’s best regardless of other’s opinions. And he can be overly optimistic to the point of failing to see things as they truly. His low fives make him inflexible to change, especially unexpected change.

Having a two Birth Number means that Barack Obama possesses many of the qualities needed as a leader for the 21^st Century. But he's no different to you or I. A Numerology Profile on your life can give you information which when used will better your life enormously, but if you don't use it, it's as good as useless! Obama's Destiny number is a 19/1. His Destiny calls him to leadership. But not just any leadership, for the nineteen behind the one speaks of a compassionate and understanding leader – a leader for all people.  But we’ll have to wait and see if his number one Destiny number takes him all the way to the top. For now, he will have to be content as the leader of the American Democratic Party.

But whatever you do, don’t make the mistake of thinking him weak, or pushing him too far, for when his back hits that wall you won't believe the punches he can pack – you’ll think it’s Muhammad Ali all over again! 5/6/08

Congratulations Ms Quentin Bryce – Australia’s first female Governor General!

 With such political intensity taking centre stage this past week, on and beyond our shores, I decided it was best to focus on Australia’s first female Governor General Ms Quentin Bryce, rather than risk putting my foot in my mouth by what I could say about some politicians. … And somehow I knew you’d agree with my choice!

 Quentin Bryce - her attire is impeccable – classical hairstyle, well cut clothes tailored with the best fabrics, elegant and reserved – someone to be admired and taken seriously. But that’s Ms Bryce’s personality on camera! What’s she really like? Well, she’s strong on children, family and community; in fact she’s a true humanitarian. With all this said, she claims her right to independence and the freedom to maintain her individuality and autonomy…and for her this is non negotiable! She likes to push the boundaries and those who know her well will admit that there’s a little bit of the Bohemian in her! Her Heart Number is a three, so friends, romance and the social life are very important to her, and should be a constant in her life.  

Her One Pinnacle offers her the opportunity to be outstanding in her chosen field – and it’s great to see that she’s had the courage to take it. Her Four Reality, which kicked in at age 49 and stays with her until she goes “home,” foretold that there was still “a work” for her to do in her later years. Her Challenge number is a four, so she’ll have to be organised and disciplined, which does not come naturally to her, for she is low in her fours. She has a brilliant mind and is extremely knowledgeable. She feels things very deeply, is very optimistic and is gifted with foresight. Her abundant threes make her an eloquent speaker. Her Destiny calls her to look for opportunity in specialised fields, and she’s certainly done that! We wish Ms Bryce well in her new position!

China’s love affair with the number eight!

It’s public knowledge that the Games of the XXIX Olympiad, will officially open on 8/8/08. But perhaps your curiosity, like that of many, has been faintly stirred as to China’s decision to have the opening on a date that has, undeniably, the number eight written all over it. And, just in case you might be tempted to think that this is purely coincidental, the scheduled time for the opening ceremony to begin is 8.08 pm CST (China Standard Time). 

Before I became aware of the significance of the number eight in the timing of the China Beijing Olympics, I was under the impression that the Chinese perceived the number eight to be lucky in the same context that many westerners believe the number seven to be lucky. To my knowledge though, no western nation to date has deliberately planned a major event such as the Olympic Games to coincide with a date of multiple sevens. This has me thinking that perhaps the Chinese were taught things about numbers in their halls of learning that were definitely amiss in our school curriculum. 

Many ancient cultures reportedly believed in, and were guided by esoteric sciences such as Numerology and Astrology. And though the advent of new age and quantum physics have in recent years converted some and diminished scepticism in others, most people still believe such things to be “hocus pocus”.  And yet, here’s China, a nation taken seriously on the world stage, blatantly and unashamedly using its belief and knowledge in numeric science to set a date for the opening of the 2008 Summer Olympics!  

Now, before you are tempted to dismiss this as “funny stuff” and something that begs to not be taken seriously, remember that it wasn’t so long ago that many considered acupuncture as something not to be taken seriously, and today, it is taught in some of our universities.  

So what secret powers, charm or luck could the number eight possibly hold to convince China to employ its influence? The number eight is a number that is significantly active in the world today. We are currently in the first year (2+0+0+8=10, 1+0=1) of a major 224 cycle of world experience under the direction of the number eight (2+2+4=8).  

Numbers do not in themselves make things happen, they interpret what has happened, is happening or is to happen. In my many years of study and research in the meaning of numbers, I would unequivocally say that I do not consider the number eight to be a lucky number. The so called luck that people think this number carries is only realised as a consequence of giving its all in everything that it undertakes.  

To its advantage, the number eight holds within it the promise of great achievement and many possessions – wealth, success, money, power, strength, influence, property, business, authority and public recognition. It’s a number that does things on a grand scale, doing things half heartedly is not what this number is about. Hiding from facing consequences or making excuses for blunders and failures will not work – the number eight does not tolerate weakness, nor does it accept anything but 100% effort if success is to follow. If the number eight is prominent in your Numerology profile perhaps you will agree with me when I say that this number does not allow you to “sleep on the job.” In order to attain and to then hold on to the reward and success which the number eight promises, you have to constantly keep your shoulder to the wheel, so to speak. You must be prepared to pick yourself up after being knocked down and then have the courage to start all over again.  

For those looking from the outside in and seeing the owners of this number’s amassed fortune and power, they can be forgiven for thinking that the eight is indeed a lucky number. But that’s because they are not aware of the sheer hard work, perseverance and relentless drive that has gone into every ounce of success that is ultimately the outcome. 

There’s a lot of testosterone in the number eight! Its aggressive tendencies however, are best tempered with assertive power rather than brute force. If we look at its form or shape, we cannot fail to see its symmetry and balance - as above, so below. From this we come to understand the importance of balance if one is to enjoy the fruits of this number’s potential. There is a spiritual influence here which needs to be nurtured just as much as the quest for material success. Its intense activity makes rest almost impossible, and yet it is absolutely essential if good health is to be enjoyed. At times the power and authority that comes with this number can make those possessing it dizzy with ego. But this is not the intention of the eight. Its true intention is that its power and capabilities be used for the benefit of humanity as well as the self, working with integrity and wisdom to bring about material abundance for all.  

When we calculate China’s numbers, not surprisingly, we get another eight!   

C h i n a                                                                                                                      3 8 9 51 = 26, 2+6= 8.

The eight is China’s destiny number. You might call it coincidence – I call it intelligent universal planning. It would appear that China’s destiny is to attain and enjoy all that the number eight stands for, but will it? If it is to reap the abundant rewards of this mega number, it will have to meet this number’s mega requirements. Given that the numbers 2 and 6 make up China’s 8 destiny, means that its achievements will come through peaceful negotiation and cooperation with others (2), and through the employment and responsibilities of humanitarian principles (6). Spiritual consciousness is to be balanced with material gain if prosperity is to flourish (8).  

We have witnessed the tireless cooperation of the Chinese people as they continue to labour against all odds to make everything ready for the Beijing Olympics. And both the humanitarian and cooperative aspect were evident during China’s recent earthquake, as citizens and government put in 100% effort in the massive rescue mission that was undertaken. According to China’s destiny numbers its climb to super power status is paved with serious hard work and untold obstacles. If it is to reap the rewards of its destiny and minimise its difficulties, then it will need to adopt and maintain these very principles. 

So what can we expect on the actual day of the opening of the Games? Let’s do the sums, 8+8+2+0+0+8 = 26, 2+6 = 8. Incredibly, we end up with an eight yet again! In layman’s words we can expect China to put on a show intended to outdo all shows. This is in keeping with the eight’s showmanship credentials. Looking at the complete number pattern for the day, disruptions are possible, as the karmic number sixteen dictates proceedings from 4.00 pm to 8.00 pm AEST. Wisdom will be needed if the universal brotherhood and sisterhood of the Olympics is to be upheld and these Games proclaimed as “the best ever”. The number nine, which is active between 8.00 am to 4.00 pm, and again from 8.00 pm to 12.00 pm AEST, demands compassion and understanding. At the same time the nine’s intention is to unite the peoples of the world in universal love, harmony and camaraderie. Given that the number seven is in the challenge position from 8.00 am to 12.00 pm AEST, tells us that there is an undercurrent for things to happen, which some would prefer kept secret and away from the public domain. 

The day’s events will need to be handled with understanding. Control is to be applied wisely, to maintain order and harmony, as the numbers guide. When China balances its quest for material acquisition with authentic power, integrity and spiritual guidance, as its numbers direct, it will be on track to becoming the mega power that its destiny foresees. And then it will be in the running to take its love affair with the number eight to the next level!

Anna B. 29/7/08  

With World Youth Day behind us it's important to maintain any significant and positive changes that were engendered in our lives during the many celebrations. While it may have been easy to feel the emotions of love and compassion while watching the re enactment of Christ's Passion, how many of us still feel it today? Perhaps it was merely a temporary thing - and only significant for those few hours that it was in our faces?

I was elated by the goodwill that WYD personified. I found it refreshing to see the youth of today portrayed in a way that expressed the ideals and goodness that I am certain is in all of us, even if some people think them lost, never to be reclaimed. The joy, that's what got me, the shear joy expressed by those pilgrims! I was grocery shopping that Friday when I heard the singing. I left my trolley in the aisle and went out to see a group of pilgrims led by a young man holding up an icon of Mary, singing to the beat of the drum and leaving a trail of smiling faces behind them. I was so tempted to abandon my shopping trolley permanently to follow them. The only thing that stopped me was the realisation that I had to get back to my office to prepare for a workshop which I was giving the next day. It's that practical 4 Personal Year again, that's what stopped me!

And what about Pope Benedict XVI? I must admit, when he was elected Pope I wasn't exactly awed nor inspired by him. However, my view of him has changed for the better in recent weeks. Like many of my friends and family members, I regret not participating in the celebrations in person. One of my friends who did take the time, told me that he felt an undeniable peace throughout the celebrations. He spoke of the gentle and humble nature of Pope Benedict and of the genuine love that he expressed, even without words, for young and old.

Too often we are led to believe that there is more evil than good in the world - but it would be hard even for the most pessimistic person to hold on to that belief after witnessing the love and goodwill which permeated Sydney and beyond during World Youth Day. It's time to let go of the sadness, the grief, the pain and the fear - it's time to get inebriated with the love, joy and peace of the God that resides within us all! 

  Jane McGrath

   1966-2008

Like you, I was very saddened by the passing of Jane McGrath - a beautiful woman and a beautiful soul! I have been following her progress over the years with hope, admiration and inspiration. Having walked a similar path, I know that she would have had days when she was in the darkest of places, but she always looked for that flicker of light to pull her back, which always did, until 22 June, when she herself became that light!  

Our experiences on the earth are indeed written the very instant we are born and given a name. But it is not the experience that determines the person. Indeed, it is how one takes the experience that will determine the outcome to be beneficial or otherwise. For Jane McGrath the experience written for her at this time of her life was in earth terms, the ultimate sacrifice. In spiritual and higher consciousness terms this same experience gave her the opportunity to do immense good for millions of women who have walked a similar path - cancer. And it is for this selfless immense good that she chose to do that she will always be remembered with love and gratitude by those of us that are left behind. May God hold her in the palm of His hand! 

How have you chosen to live your current experience?

Heather Mills...love her or loathe her she is now one wealthy woman!

So what makes her tick, how has she managed to attain this massive divorce settlement from Sir Paul? Is she a saint, a sinner or a victim of circumstance? Heather Mills comes in with a number one Birth Number - she has to go after what she wants, and boy she did!

She is currently in a Nine Pinnacle. This indicates that at some stage during this Pinnacle, and for Heather it's between the age of 35 and 43, there will be an ending or conclusion in her life - the ending of her marriage. The Nine Pinnacle offers unlimited success, wealth and worldly living. However to come out a winner in the happiness stakes it demands an attitude of compassion, understanding and forgiveness.  

If you think Heather is one happy babe- forget it! As much as some people like to think of her as heartless, we need to show some empathy towards her. After all no man is perfect, not even a Beatle!

Her Challenge Number is a 3, which means that the joy of life, self expression and optimism is in the "too hard basket". Her Heart Number is the same as her Challenge Number which tells me that though she might be holding up well in public, her heart is absolutely shattered.

OK, so she's got all this money, $52.something million. Where to from here for Ms Mills? She is 40 years old and has recently entered her 5 Personal Year - freedom at last! BUT...at age 44 she goes into a nine year cycle of a Four Pinnacle. If Heather does not invest her millions wisely she will be the poorer! The Four Pinnacle amongst other things can bring economic restrictions. Interestingly Sir Paul is currently in a Four Pinnacle and his economic restrictions have come with the face of Heather Mills. Granted, he's still a very wealthy man, but $52 million would make a dent even in his pocket!

Check out your Pinnacle Number to find out what your future holds for you!!!

For those Of you who are interested in sports here's an article  I wrote on champion footballer, now fallen angel, Joey Johns...

ANDREW JOHNS – SAINT OR SINNER?

Up until the recent revelation about the other side of Andrew Johns it would    be fair to say that to the majority of his fans, the thousands who idolise him, the news headlines exposing him as a drug cheat and alcohol user would have come as a shocking truth. Andrew Johns - the footballer par excellence with a boyishly shy any mother would love to claim as a son kind of guy candidly admits to a dangerously close tango with drugs and alcohol.

When we look at the true identity of this great sportsman however, we see that there is a dark side to his nature which has challenged him all his life. According to the Wikipedia Encyclopaedia, Andrew Gary Johns was born on the 19th May 1974. This gives him a Birth Number nine and carries with it the potential for greatness and the world as his playground! Make no mistake, Johns is a caring and compassionate man; he would save the whole world if he could. He also loves to party, has a real need to be loved and to be seen as a nice bloke. On the flip side, his depth of feeling for life makes him susceptible to both the highs and the lows. He can be ecstatically happy one day and overwhelmed with darkness the next.

Many of us have witnessed the highs in Johns’ life as time and time again he excelled to perfection during his illustrious career. But who was there to help him when he hit the lows and manoeuvred the rough stuff of life? Or perhaps it would be fair to assume that his avid supporters were ignorant of the emotional battles that plagued him and sent him to the depths of the blues.

The temptation to indulge in drugs and alcohol and indeed anything that would alleviate the blackness that he often found himself engulfed in was a challenge that he unfortunately succumbed to. Given the combination of numbers in his profile we could say that Johns was born with a pre disposition to the temptations of drugs and alcohol. But the choice is always there for the individual to make and so this in no way excuses nor condones the path that he chose to take.  
 
The many fives in his chart further indicate a tendency to bend the rules while at the same time understanding the importance and maintenance of such rules. His curiosity and energy for life has undoubtedly tempted him time and time again to go where most would say, “Uh uh, I’m not going there, it’s too dangerous.” While Johns has gotten away with bending the rules time and time again, breaking the rules holds an accountability that cannot be escaped.

Johns was born to live from a higher plane, one of philanthropy and right living; a leader who sets an example for others to follow. Sadly he has bombed out big time in this department. And surely the thoughts on the minds of many mothers having young sons who call Johns their hero would be of deep concern if not alarm. And, more importantly what affect could these recent revelations of drug and alcohol abuse have on the impressionable minds of these young sons? Sometimes I wonder if sportsmen like Johns give any thought to the thousands of little men and women that they influence. Do they not know that heroes have to consider the wellbeing of others before their own? Or perhaps the hefty pay pack and the public recognition create a temporary blindness and numbness to the responsibility of living with honour and integrity.

With an 11/2 Destiny number, life has given Johns the potential for power that many crave but are denied. But with every positive there is a negative and as much as the desire to live from an ideal base has tugged at his heart strings and indeed his very soul, the supposed good life of wine, women and song as the saying goes, beckoned him to indulge, to taste the forbidden fruit, which he admits to doing for the past ten years in fact - and now the very things that he sought for solace and pleasure to relieve the lows in his life have crucified him.

Deep down Andrew Johns is a traditional man. With the number four as his Heart Number he has a real need and a true desire for a loving partner, children, family and friends. He wants to be a stable, dependable and contributing member of society. Without this security and support the difficulties that he is now facing could prove unbearable. So where to from here for Andrew Johns?

Does he have what it takes to get through this? Without a doubt Johns’ profile reveals that he has the resources and the human ability to work through this dark night of the soul and come out the other end a more enlightened and a more powerful human being. But what will it take?  He is currently in a cycle of experience where life demands that he remove the rose coloured glasses and faces the music. It is a time when he is expected to look at his life realistically and to face it squarely.

There will be times when he will feel restricted as others intervene and tell him what to do to get him back on track and make things right again. His sensitivity to what is said to him or about him is something that he will have to deal with for the rest of his life. And, as difficult as it may be he needs to make a sincere effort and not feel small or less of a bloke because of it. In other words he has to cop it on the chin and accept that he has reached a stage in his downhill rollercoaster where he cannot save himself. He is in far too deep for that to be possible. His only chance is through the guidance and expertise of professional people experienced in this field.

For the next three years Johns will be faced with many difficulties. How he responds to these experiences will determine the outcome. There will be times of confusion, anger and even feelings of subordination as life challenges him towards self realisation. His heart will feel the pain as it deals with the raw expose` of his newfound reality, but it will also feel the exhilaration of having achieved the often unachievable – another chance in the game of life with the opportunity to re establish himself as a true champion!
