By looking at the characteristics of manypeople born on a given day, and correlating what weknow about them with basic principles of psychology and astrology,personology seeks to explore certainrecurring ideas, actions, concepts and themes which those born on this day--now, in the historical past and in the future--are seemingly fated to encounter. Some Life Path numbers are believed to have a natural affinity for one another, while others may require more effort to overcome their differences. Understanding our own Life Path number and that of our partner can provide a deeper understanding of the challenges and opportunities we may face in our romantic journey. The Quest for True Compatibility The birthdays presented in this book were gathered from many sources. Not infrequently, these sources disagreed about the day of birth of a given individual, and in these cases a consen­sus of five or six sources was sought. In the course of collecting birthdays, one often finds repeated errors due to the same fac­tors, i.e., the day is correct but the month has been incorrectly copied, or perhaps the day itself is noted mistakenly as 8 instead of 18, or 2 instead of 21. Sometimes the death day is given instead of the birthday, or perhaps the researcher has confused two individuals with the same or similar names.

The final complication, that of nineteenth century Russians (Russia did not change over until the 1917 revolution), is met in the following way: nineteenth and twentieth centrny birthdays are given NS, since virtually the entire rest of the "civilized" world was operating on the new calendar system. Thus, Tchaikovsky's birthday is always given as May 7, although he was actually borntwelve days earlier, Russian OS time, on April 25. Watch children at play. Learn from them.

Out of all the books in the three I respect by Goldschneider, I love the Secret Language of Birthdays a little more since it appeals to everyone compared to just a few. Destiny is something everyone pursues but it is a general description given without any details to the person and as for relationships, well relationships are different among everyone and so the general is for a general understanding how two people will mesh.Numerology, another mystical discipline explored by both Cheung and Goldschneider, offers further insights into birthday compatibility. In this practice, our birthdate is reduced to a single-digit number known as the Life Path number, which is believed to reveal our deepest desires, life purpose, and even our compatibility with others. According to Gary Goldschneider, the author of “ The Secret Language of Birthdays,” the day you were born plays a vital role in determining your personality traits, desires, and even your compatibility with others. This belief is also echoed in the writings of Theresa Cheung, who frequently explores the spiritual and emotional significance of our birthdates in her work. If one considers astrology to be heaven-oriented, personologyis earth-oriented. That is, the basic structure upon which per­sonology is built is that of the year as it is lived, and as far as we know has largely been lived here on earth. The rhythms of the year are mostly determined by the changes of the seasons themselves, along with the lengthening and shortening of the days and nights. Each year these solar changes are roughly the same. We are fixed to a wheel of life here on earth, whose motion dictates (in the northern hemisphere) that beginning with the winter solstice, around December 21, the shortest day and longest night, the days will get progressively longer and the nights shorter until the vernal or spring equinox is reached around March 21, at which point day and night willbe equal. We call this season betweensolstice and equinox winter, expecting that only certain plants willgrow, that some animals willsleep or hibernate while others grow a full coat to warm them against the biting winds. As the days grow longer in spring,highly varied forms of lifebegin to emerge culminatingfinally in the heat of the summer,beginning on the longest day of the year,the summer solstice, around June 21. With harvestcomes the fall and again a period of equal day and night (fall equinox, around September 23). Finally the days grow shorter, the sun no longer rises high in the sky, and the world moves inside to prepare for winter once more.

Gary began his extensive career in the public eye with weekly performances o For all of us, as well, this is a week in which we may also feel itchy and long to change our circumstances. It will benefit us to go with these feelings, using them as an impulse to investigate new ways of living, working and relating. It is only possible to master your impulses and moods by understanding the secret language of birthdays. That is because the secret language of birthdays has the right explanation to reason out your behavior. Many people have long suspected, as astrologers believe, that the day you were born affects your personality. While no one knows exactly how or why, birthdays do tend to be uncannily accurate predictors of psychological tendencies. The Secret Language of Birthdays by Gary Goldschneider and Joost Effers describes in detail the characteristics and quirks of personality associated with being born on a particular day of the year. Book Genre: Astrology, Divination, Esoterica, Metaphysics, New Age, Nonfiction, Occult, Philosophy, Psychology, Reference, Self Help, Spirituality In their quest to understand the underlying patterns and connections between people, both authors have delved into the world of astrology, numerology, and other mystical disciplines to uncover the secrets of birthday compatibility. Zodiac Signs and CompatibilityI didn't get to read this cover to cover, of course, but I looked at what related to me and a few other people I know. I'm not sure the September 21st birthday really described the two people I know who have that birthday, but maybe I don't know them well enough? Though I think I do. It seemed like they wouldn't necessarily recognize themselves in what was said, but maybe they would and I just don't. Hmm. Those born on January 9 can suffer common side-effects of stress: headaches, anxiety, muscle tension, lowered resistance to infections and problems with sleep. Learning to relax and allow themselves fun is crucial to their maintaining good health. Family and social activities, as well as regularly scheduled vacation, are an important part of the picture. An exciting, vibrant diet with lots of appetizing recipes is recommended to keep them looking forward to the zestful enjoyment of good meals. Only mild exercise is recommended for those born on this day along with periods of rest, including occasional afternoon naps, which can work wonders. January 9 people must pay particular attention to the effects of stress on their bones and teeth, as well as making sure that they get proper dosages of supplementary vitamins and minerals. For example, a person born on the 23rd of January would have a Life Path number of 6 (2+3+1+1+9+8+6 = 30, 3+0 = 6). Life Path numbers range from 1 to 9, each possessing unique qualities that can impact our romantic relationships.
