Tina Fey: b. 5/18/1970

Funny Girl Tina Fey has the amazing Expression Number* of "9".These are your real winners often associated with great fame and fortune. In fact, her initials "T" and "F" add up to a "9" as well. As Chinese numerologists explain, the number "9", being the greatest of single-digit number, was historically identified with their Emperor. His robe had nine dragons and according to Chinese mythology those dragons each had nine off-spring.  In addition, the number "9" is a homophone, in Chinese, for the word "long lasting" making it a much sought after date for one's wedding. However, there is one caveat assoicated with the number "9" and that is they usually give more than they get. "9s" tend to be compassionate and humanitarian and as such must watch out for their generous impulses getting the "upper hand" so to speak and distorting their judgement.  They need to be vigilant against those who might want to exploit their good nature.

More good news. The name "Tina" corresponds to the number "8" which is the jack pot number promisng good luck  and abundance and her last name "Fey" corresponds to the number "1" which symbolizes leadership and being the first in your field.  Her numbers are amazingly accurate.

Tina's Life Path Number** is a "4" and "4s" are the worker bees of the Universe.  They are diligent, tenacious, steadfast and true blue friends and colleagues. They never shy away from a job that needs to get done.

And, lastly, Tina is going into a "9" year which means she can look forward to acquiring even more status and prestige. But, on the other hand, as "9" signifies endings something significant in her life will come to a close. This could be something concrete like a project or something more abstract such as an attitude or relationship that she has. 2011 will most definately mark its demise. Having said that, once this particular door closes another will open.

*The Expression Number signifies a person's overall personality.

**The Life Path Number signifies your place in the world.

Dame Margot Fonteyn: 5/18/12-2/21/91

Dame Margot was the very epitome of loveliness and lyricism.  She was grace incarnate and was one of of the century's greatest classical dancers who repeatedly wowed audiences for years and enjoyed one of the greatest artistic partnerships of all time with Rudolf Nureyev (3/18/1938-1/6/1993)

She was a true "3" and embodied all the charm and appeal that only a "3" can. Like many "3s", she was artistic. She found her mode of expression through the theater and was an expert at communicating to the audience. She was renown for the way she used her eyes in conveying emotion and feeling. 

"3" was most definitely a special number for her.  It was inevitable that she would draw another "3" towards her energy field and that "3" just happened to be Rudolf  Nureyev. He was born in a "3" month (March ) and his name corresponds to "33" which is a double "3".  Curiously, Dame Margot died on the "21st", a "3" day and Nureyev died in a "3" year.

Together, the  first and last initials of her name, "M" and "F",  correspond to the number "1"  as does her last name, "Fonteyn". And Dame Margot was most definitely a "1" in every respect e.g., she was the prima ballerina ne plus ultra.

Robert Pattinson : b. 5/13/1986 (It's Got to be the Hair)

Robert Pattinson, the heartthrob of practically every female tween and teenager, celebrates his 25th birthday tomorrow.  If there's any doubt about his sex appeal, just consider the word "heartthrob".  The last syllable contains his name, "Rob"!  Here's what his numbers tell us about him.

His Life Path Number is "6", which is considered a "good luck" number.  In China, the number "6" is the homophone for their word for "blessings" and is a coveted and sought after number i.e., for a business address. It also represents the home and all things domestic. This is a guy who values family and family life. Nice. As "6s" tend to be perfectionists, they can also be worriers. "6" is also associated with a love for music and Robert is an ardent musician and sometimes composer for the piano. His first name also corresponds to a "6" which doubles these unique characteristics. "6" is ruled by the planet Venus which, given Robert's status as a leading man, makes perfect sense. And the 6th card of the tarot's Major Arcana is The Lovers which further explains his appeal.

As with so many other famous people Robert's birthday corresponds to a "9" signifying fame and exulted status.  His full name corresponds to an "8" which is the jack pot number in that it symbolizes phenomenal good luck and fortune.

Robert is going into a "4" year. "4" symbolizes steadfastness and diligence. It can also suggest a time period of repose and contraction, so I would not be surprised if Robert takes some much-needed down time from all the over exposure he's experienced the last few years. This should be a time in which he reflects and considers what his next career moves may be as well as any major personal decision. In a "4" year, it's time to take heed and slow things down. Put the brakes on, so to speak.

 In honor of his birthday, I picked a card from my tarot deck and came up with the Three of Wands which depicts a man (whose back faces us) looking out beyond the horizon. What a perfect card to have picked given that Robert is about to embark on a "4"year which implies a pulling back to re-evaluate one's life. Here are some questions he might want to think about: What new horizons are you contemplating?  Do you feel optimistic about the future? Are you hesitating about acting on your dreams? Despite your fame and fortune are you sure that this is the path you intended for yourself?  And, if not, what is?

Great Kate: 5/12/1907-6/29/2003

The important thing to remember about Katherine Hepburn is that her first name begins with the letter "K", one of the two Master Letters (the other being "V:) and that it corresponds to the number "11" which is one of the two Master Numbers (the other being "22") as well. So she not only has a Master Letter but a Master Number, too.  

My friend, Lucy I, describes the number "11" as symbolizing the Creative Masters of the Universe.  She explains that their path or life journey is often impractical although always inspirational. Their messages are always strong and intense. They pull no punches as very little can deflect them from their appointed task.  Often they border on martyrdom. Hepburn and her devotion to her married lifetime lover, Spencer Tracy, was interpreted by many as "masochistic" and "slavish". However, self-sacrificing or not,  "11s" are destined for greatness and leave their mark upon the world.

She died in a "4" year which is the number "13" reduced. "13" is frequently associated with "death" as is the number "4", especially in Chinese culture, as it's nearly homophonous to their word for "death". "4" also symbolizes the "earth" as well as the qualities of "respose", "quiet" and "passivity".

Some great Katherine Hepburn films include:

-A Bill of Divorcement (1932)

-Little Women (1933)

-Alice Adams (1935)

-Bringing Up Baby (1938)

-The Philadelphia Story (1940)

-Woman of the Year (1942)

-The African Queen (1951)

- The Lion in Winter (1968)

Miss Hepburn was, indeed, the "real deal" in every sense of the word.

Fred Astaire: 5/10/1899-6/22/1987

Astaire was destined for greatness. The year of his birth, 1899, contains three 9s and as 9 is the number signifying fame and fortune and exulted status there was little doubt that he would achieve the stardom he enjoyed. 

The name "Astaire" translates to a 7 in numerology which symbolizes spirituality, Heaven and all things celestial. 7s focus on the non-physical.  I don't think it's too much of a stretch to say that he devoted his life  transcending the material world.   That is, through his dancing,  he defied the laws of gravity and its physical constraints .

One of his missing Karmic Numbers is a 3 (these numbers tell us what we need to do in this lifetime in order to correct for one's previous actions and choices from a previous life). 3s are the charmers and optimists of the Universe. They are often entertainers and excel at communicating. Clearly, Astaire compensated magnificently for this past apparent lack during his phenomenal stage and film career. There were few actors who were as charming and attractive.

Astaire died in an 8 year which in addition to symbolizing wealth and good fortune and strength also represents "infinity" as the number 8 is also the infinity symbol turned upright. This symbol is associated with  the matters of the soul ( consistent with the 7)  as well as with eternity, perfection and equilibrium which seem to me to reflect what Astaire and his art were all about e.g., the consummate artist.

Robert Leroy Johnson: 5/8/1911- 8/16/1938

 "The thing about Robert Johnson was that he only existed on his records. He was pure legend" so wrote Martin Scorsese. That pretty much sums things up. To this day, the late great Delta blues singer and guitarist remains an elusive shadow. Not much is known about his life and mystery shrouds his death. Some say he was poisoned. Some say he died from syphilis although he was only 27 years old thus linking him forever with other great musicians who died an untimely death. Think Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix. It's curious, is it not, that the letter "J" dominates all their names?

Numerically, "J" is a "1" and as such are self-starters and usually tops in their field. They leave their mark. And as "J" is the tenth letter of the alphabet it's a "double 1" as the number "10" corresponds to a "1" as well.  That's very heady stuff.

With respect to Robert Johnson's Karmic Number, he's missing a "4". (Just in case you are not familiar with the concept of the Karmic Number it's the letter or letters missing from one's name. It instructs  us what we need to do in order to correct our actions from past or previous lives. It may also reveal our vulnerabilities and weaknesses.  So if you are missing a "7", the most spiritual of all numbers, you may end up becoming a Buddhist and so on.)  "4" is the number most associated with the earth and this makes sense as Johnson is a Taurus and the earth is their element.  The irony, of course, is that everything that a "4" represents-stability and tradition-eluded him. He led a transient and itinerant life. What this means is that because he was unable to obtain the equanimity in that lifetime he will have another opportunity in his next until he gets  it "right".

 "4" is also the number most associated with Death as it symbolizes the sum of "13". Johnson died in a "9" year which always signifies "endings" (as well as fame and exulted status).  His Destiny or Life Path Number was "7" which, in addition to vibrating to the highest spiritual frequency, is most associated with Heaven and things celestial. "7s" tend to be loners and eccentric. They dwell in a non-material world and are not attached to material things. This certainly seems to true of Johnson who never settled down, but was constantly on the move from town to town performing at every stop. 

It's fitting that his Expression Number is"5" which represents the most physical and restless number of them all, which makes perfect sense as "5" is ruled by Mercury the quick-silver messenger to the Greek gods. "5" is your freedom lover. They are your born travellers and seekers. All of this is consistent with what we know of Robert Johnson, which when all is said and done, is not very much.

So it appears as if Scorsese is right. Johnson remains a legend who has obtained almost mythic status. Did he really sell his soul to the Devil one night at the Southern Cross in exchange for the ability to play like a god?  Listen to his music and judge for yourself.

The Furies

In Greek mythology, they are the three goddesses of vengeance:  Tisiphone, Megaera and Alecto. They were also referred to as the "Daughters of the Night". In actually, they were the offspring of Uranus (the primeval god of the Sky and the first ruler of the Universe) and Gaea (the primeval divinity of the earth). They are sometimes referred to as the Erinyes.

The Furies spared no mercy to those unwise enough to incur their wrath. They were relentless in their pursuit of transgressors of the social order and were particularly vicious to crimes committed against one's mother or father, specifically matricide or patricide. They also took offense against those who would harm society's defenseless e.g., beggars, the sick, the old, the vulnerable. They even protected animals. God help the naughty child who removed a baby bird from its nest or who might mistreat its pet. The Furies would not be far behind. Their mission was to preserve the natural order and acted as society's moral and ethical conscience.

The sisters were also servants of Haides (King of the Underworld and the dead) and Persephone (Queen of the Underworld). Here, they oversaw the torture of criminals sentenced to the Dungeons of the Dammed.

The Furies were no beauties. Blood dripped from their eyes and in lieu of hair snakes resided on their heads. As Virgil wrote, " The Eumenides (Erinyes) with livid snakes entwined in their hair."

Our culture abounds with vestiges of the Furies i.e., Shakespeare's three witches in "Macbeth" or Madame LaFarge in Dickin's "A Tale of Two Cities". We owe our words "infuriated" and "furious" to the Furies. And, unfairly or not, they are the origin for the expression "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned".
