What number are you?

We all have our lucky numbers. But few realise how important digits are to our personality. According to your date of birth, you could be a Number 1 or a Number 4, and each have their qualities...

‘Ruled by the Sun’

People born on the 1st, 10th, 19th and 28th of any month are called Number 1 people, and are ruled by the planet Sun. Leos too are ruled by the sun. 2014 is good for the No 1 people (1, 2, 4 and 7 make up a family).

The strong and forceful attitude you have towards whatever you undertake, could ensure success this year. Persistence and consistence are the key words.

Do not be unyielding in your decisions and consider the other person’s point of view. Your hard work and consistency will probably reap rich rewards, which you have been waiting for. You may also receive much-deserved recognition in your career.

On the personal front, you will find yourself being more romantic and dreamy, than usual, which is a good thing! Regarding health, don’t push yourself too far, lest you head for a nervous breakdown.

‘Your mind is the key to good health’

Number 2 represents the moon, and they are persons born on the 2nd, 11th, 20th and 29th of any month. Cancerians are partially ruled by the Moon too. For those ruled by the Moon, this year could be favourable, as 7 and 2 are like twins, interchangeable numbers. The most important thing to remember this year is not to depend on others to complete the job you started. Set out to realise your dreams. Use your creative skills to improve your work, rather than daydreaming. This will enable you to break away from the monotony of life.Take up challenging projects this year.

In matters of health, your mind is the key to good health. Therapies like yoga and meditation can handle emotional restlessness. This will aid you in doing things that you might not have been able to do, due to your sensitive nature. Finances will shoot up too. Increase the budget for your larger plans. Those looking to invest in property should focus on the same with fervor.

‘You will need a break’

Number 3 people are those born on the 3rd, 12th, 21st and 30th of any month. They are ruled by the biggest planet — Jupiter — which also influences Pisceans and Sagittarians.

Materially speaking, it’s a standard year, but not something that calls for a crisis or SOS situation. A good year for spiritual pursuits, so develop this side, which is important too. But for most No 3 people, work too is meditation! There are other pleasures in life besides work; take a break and get together with your loved ones, those who are close by, and those who are faraway.

You will look for alternative ways to balance the need for more money, without spending too much time. Try to be less rigid with your subordinates, and establish a healthy working atmosphere. Avoid people who might want to take advantage of your skills, without giving you credit.

Health-wise, take particular care of lungs, throat and chest.

Use your intellect

Number 4 people are those born on the 4th, 13th, 22nd, and 31st of any month. The Number 4 people are ruled by the planet Uranus. Uranus (4) is linked with the sun (1) so number 4 persons are also indirectly influenced by the magnetic rays of the sun.

The good news is that No 7 (in 2014) is good for No 4’s. If you play your cards well, you can expect a fulfilling year. Your unusual ideas or solutions will earn you appreciation, and recognition from individuals you consider your idols. The year will be good for those in the creative field, as they will be able to see their work benefiting people. Use your intellect to support people in their work, without making them dependent on you for the end result.

Romance could look up, so spend quality time with your spouse. 2014 could be fruitful for those looking for a life partner. Financially, it shouldn’t be a hand-to-mouth year! But, do save.

A word of caution — you may need to work harder on the personal front with regard to relationships. Some changes in personal relationships are foreseen.

Singles might meet someone of interest or a relative will probably tie the knot this year.

Don’t allow yourself to get carried away by your sensitive nature, and try to think with your head, rather than with your heart. However, efforts (if) made in 2013 can translate well, so there is no real need to be on tenterhooks. Keep a tab on your diet; this will help avoid illness.

Events in your life will make you feel that struggle is an important part of your existence. Just as jumping over hurdles make your legs stronger, trials  strengthen you to face problems with equanimity. Move on with patience and confidence and you will see the rewards of your actions.

Try not to get annoyed by mistakes that people might commit. You will feel enthusiastic, as your positive frame of mind will enable you to settle many incomplete tasks.

For many, on the basis of a good  2013, you can feel the sweetness linger for a large part of 2014. But, begin the ‘sowing’ process again, laboriously. No time for short-cuts. Also, watch  your diet to see what agrees with you.

Golden advice for you this year: avoid quarrels, litigations and lawsuits. Relationships should be dealt with utmost caution; beware of flare-ups.

Try to be tolerant with slow people, especially in personal matters. Avoid being impulsive in taking decisions. Don’t get agitated, it will only complicate matters. Finances could put you in a spot, if you go for fast-money. Go for ‘long term’ in your endeavors.
