INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this report is to point out some of the personality traits you each possess, and discuss how compatible they may be. It is meant to help you identify potential strengths and weaknesses in your relationship, in the hope that by being aware of these issues, you might prevent them from damaging or dominating your interactions. 

Please keep in mind that having charts that indicate tremendous compatibility does not mean you will not have to work on your relationship- it just means that you have areas of natural harmony that should make such work 'lighter'. 

In the same manner, charts that indicate considerable areas of incompatibility do not 'doom' the relationship. In fact, such relationships can actually become uncommonly strong if these challenges are worked through. 

It may also be useful to note that incompatibility for one kind of union (e.g marriage) may indicate an essential ingredient for another type (e.g business). 

Ultimately then, we believe that the nature of your relationship will be a result of the effort the two of you put into it, and hope that in some small way this reading will help you journey down that path together.

All the best! 

One of the most important numbers in your chart, the Life Path reveals the central lesson you came into the world to learn. 

It describes major themes that will run through your life, challenges and lessons that will keep returning until they're faced, as well as the special gifts and talents with which you have been blessed. 

Sometimes called your Destiny, it is perhaps more accurately your Potential Destiny; the positive rewards or negative consequences are waiting -- the decisions that will lead you to them are yours!

Albert, you have within you the potential to become a spiritual teacher. The 33, like the 11 and the 22, is considered a Master number. However, as with all Master numbers, you may or may not find the opportunity and inner resources to reach your full potential. If you do, you will be remembered for generations. If you don't, you will still have a strong, spiritually empowering influence on others. Keep in mind, that spiritual does not always mean religious. Some of our most enlightened teachers never saw the inside of a temple or a church. In fact, most were considered heretics and unbelievers. The truth is that spiritual knowledge is an inner experience. An experience, which nonetheless can be visible to those around you. If you know this experience, you understand your path.

You possess great compassion and seek to be of service to others. You have concern for the weak and the downtrodden. You are a healer and a helper to others. You are capable of giving comfort to those in need and will frequently offer a shoulder for others to cry on.

Your task in life is to develop the tools necessary to be truly helpful to others, rather than to simply be a sympathetic ear. You must find the balance between help and interference. In the same way, you must learn the delicate art of the counselor who knows when to leave the struggle to others and when to avoid taking away the necessary experiences and lessons of life.

You are naturally balanced. Therefore, you are well equipped to support and ground others in times of trial.

It is in your nature to take on responsibility -- you often fill the void left by others -- and do not turn away from personal sacrifice. At times, you may feel overburdened by the travails of others. However, the love others bestow upon you is your well deserved reward.

Albert, you try to maintain harmony within the family or group, balancing and fusing divergent forces. You seek marriage and are often a wonderful parent, offering warmth, protection, and understanding to children.

You are generous, kind, and attractive. You are often admired even adored which baffles you. You are humble and yet you carry a deep pride. You move well and gracefully, but will have to work to stay in shape. Seek out physical exercise and limit the sweets and dairy you crave to keep yourself from becoming plump and round.

When young, you must be careful not to choose partners for the wrong reasons. Do not let sentimentality influence your decision, especially those involving the choice of a spouse. You need to be needed, but must learn to discriminate between those you can help and others who are made weaker by your care.

After all, it is in your nature to be attracted to the weaker brothers and sisters among us.

The temptation and the danger for you is to think of yourself as the savior of the world, carrying the burdens of others on your shoulders.

You are blessed with musical talent, as well as in the visual and performing arts. However, your creativity may well be suppressed due to your willingness to sacrifice, or your inability to fully appreciate your talents. This is not to say that you cannot excel in these areas; on the contrary, you have the talent, and with effort you can make a success in a number of artistic fields.

You also have enormous talent in business. You are blessed with a great deal of charm and charisma, which you use effectively to attract the people and support you need.

Madonna, you have the potential to be a source of inspiration and illumination for people. You possess an inordinate amount of energy and intuition. There is so much going on in your psyche that you are often misunderstood early in life, making you shy and withdrawn. You have far more potential than you know.

You galvanize every situation you enter. You inspire people, but without your conscious effort. Energy seems to flow through you without your controlling it. This gives you both power and sometimes emotional turmoil.

You are a channel for information between the higher and the lower, between the realm of the archetype and the relative world. Ideas, thoughts, understanding, and insight -- all of these can come to you without your having to go through a rational thought process. There seems to be a bridge, or connection, between your conscious and unconscious realms, attuning you to a high level of intuition through which even psychic information can flow.

All of this amounts to a great capacity for invention. Many inventors, artists, religious leaders, prophets, and leading figures in history have had the 11 prominent in their chart.

Because you are so highly charged, you experience the consequences of a two-edged sword. You possess great abilities, but indulge in much self-reflection and self- criticism. You often feel highly self-conscious. You are aware on some level that you stand out. Even when you try to blend with your environment, you often feel conspicuous, alien, and out-of-place.

Madonna, you are blessed with a message, or a specific role to play in life. But you must develop yourself sufficiently to take full advantage of that opportunity. Until that time, your inner development takes precedence over your ability to materialize the great undertaking you were chosen to perform. Consequently, 11s seem to develop slowly, but they simply have more to accomplish in their evolution than the average person. Thus, your real success does not usually begin until maturity, between the ages of 35 and 45, when you have progressed further along your path.

You may often be frustrated, largely because you have extremely high expectations of yourself. But these expectations can be unrealistic, and can prevent you from accomplishing anything. You can be very impractical, envisioning a skyscraper when all that was necessary was a two-story house.

You may also suffer from bouts of confusion and lack of direction. This gives rise to loss of confidence and the onset of deep depression. The cause of these emotional problems is your lack of understanding of your own sensitivity and potential. Your desire to achieve some great ambition is enormous. However, a lack of confidence in your own ability to realize this dream may cause you much frustration. You sense the enormous potential you possess, which requires equally enormous confidence in your ability to materialize your dream. Confidence is the key that unlocks your potential.

On a strictly physical level, you must protect your nervous system, which is inordinately vulnerable to stress because of your acute sensitivity. Depression is often the result of long periods of stress that have gone unrelieved. Seek out peaceful and harmonious environments, relaxing music, and follow a healthful diet in order to restore balance and peace.

As an 11 Life Path, you are a highly charged version of the 2 and possess many of the characteristics and talents of that number.

You can be extremely diplomatic and tactful. You are also patient and cooperative. You work well with groups and somehow find a way of creating harmony among diverse opinions. You enjoy music and poetry and require a harmonious environment. You have an eye for beauty and a fine sense of balance and rhythm. You have healing capabilities, especially in such fields as massage, acupuncture, physical therapy, and counseling.

Madonna, you are a sensitive and passionate lover; your perceptiveness makes you aware of your partner's needs and desires, which you are able to fulfill with almost magical delicacy. However, when you feel you have been mistreated or jilted, you can react with devastating power, sometimes using personal criticisms vindictively.

You are a fine companion and possess a good sense of humor.

When you have found your niche in life and begun to realize your true potential, your rewards will more than compensate for your trials earlier in life.

Albert and Madonna, your Life Path numbers are the most important numbers in your charts, and, as such, their compatibility is extremely important to the well-being of your relationship.

Two and six are considered the most loving numbers of all. However, their love expresses itself in different ways. Madonna, your two, in this part of the chart, reveals sensitivity, awareness of emotional forces in yourself and others, and an ability to recognize the subtle and often hidden motives in others. Albert, your six points to a powerful urge to care and protect, to shelter those you love and to comfort them. In fact, one of the few traits a six has to guard for is not to smother others with its love.

Madonna and Albert, this combination forms a strong foundation for any relationship, but in particular for a romantic one. You both love easily and without holding back. You are not afraid to reveal your feelings. However, it is only in the strength of their love and their need for sharing and giving that these two numbers overlap. In many other respects, they are very different and, sometimes, even opposite. Madonna, your love is one of feelings and emotions driven by the need for companionship, security, and comfort. It is intuitively aware of the fragile nature of life and therefore has a tendency to be somewhat needy and insecure. A negative expression of this insecurity is jealousy, perhaps even towards people Albert may have a business or friendship relation with. If Albert gives too much time and attention to someone else, Madonna may have some difficulty in accepting that. Albert, on the other hand, can be oblivious to the subtle signs that something is brewing underneath the surface. Albert feels comfortable in a romantic relationship and does not share this kind of insecurity.

Although Albert is not particularly afraid of romantic competition, Albert’s demons also show up in this relationship. Where Madonna requires attention and emotional contact to feel comfortable, Albert may tend to spread attention around in search of other people’s approval and gratitude. Like a parent with grown children, Albert reaches out to take care of, and comfort others, as a way to fill a space that can’t be filled. By doing so, Albert may forget who and what is really important, a trait typical to the six.

More often than not, neither the occasional jealousy and envy of the two, nor the aimless mothering of the six, can do more than put a dent in this relationship. The two and the six are very compatible and the likelihood of a crash is smaller than in most other number combinations.

While your Life Path is the major lesson you are attempting to learn this time around, your Expression number indicates how you will live that Life Path.

One of the key values of Numerology, the Expression number reveals your natural talents and abilities, and how you can best use them to interact with others.

You are the humanitarian. You are attracted to a cause or a movement whose purpose is to make a better world. You are extremely idealistic, sometimes to the point of being naive about people or methods. You have great compassion and seek to create a more humane society. You are drawn to those who suffer physically or are at the hand of injustice. You are the righter of wrongs. Your deepest intention is to transform the world.

You are willing to sacrifice in order to advance your cause. Indeed, this seems to be a theme in your life. From time to time, you find yourself involved in a project whose very life depends upon your willingness to sacrifice something that relates directly to your ego.

You are highly idealistic. You are also a visionary, with the ability to influence and direct the masses. Deep inside, you long for the love and approval of the many, and seek fame.

Part of your hunger for fame has to do with your need for validation; you are your own harshest critic.

You realize your greatest satisfaction when you are involved in some activity that directly benefits the public good. Politics, law, protection of the environment, teaching, and healing are areas in which you would succeed.

You have a broad view of humanity and are not shackled with prejudice. You should have friends and associates from all walks of life, all colors and religious backgrounds. People fascinate and enrich you. A wide diversity of people and experiences stimulate and bring forth qualities within you that would otherwise lay dormant.

You have an abundance of artistic talent. Many with your Expression number find themselves in the arts, especially in literature, painting, and the visual and performing arts.

The number 9 indicates the completion of a cycle or a block of learning. The 9 Expression suggests that you have reached the point where a breakthrough can occur; during this lifetime you can apply all that you have learned along your evolutionary path and complete a major stage in your development. This is why we find many geniuses with the 9 Expression.

You have the ability to synthesize many diverse bits of knowledge into a unified whole.

Your appearance is important. You are keenly aware of how others perceive you. As a result, others see you as a person with a great deal of control. Conversely, you are charismatic. Despite the cool and distant personality you project, people are attracted to you.

You tend to express your love somewhat impersonally. You tend to be preoccupied with your vision or cause, and sometimes overlook the needs of those closest to you. You need to be reminded to give your love more personally and more openly. Ironically, you are a very loving and sincere person, but often neglect to express what you truly feel.

In the same way, you can overlook your own needs. You can avoid sharing of your deeper feelings, creating a reservoir of emotion. You tend to postpone your personal satisfaction in favor of some larger work. Try to be more spontaneous and courageous about showing your real self, including your vulnerability.

Your basic belief in the goodness of humanity is unshakable. This causes you to encourage the best in people, but occasionally makes you vulnerable to being taken advantage of. You are not a very good judge of character.

The surest way to personal satisfaction is for you to become part of some larger social cause. Your nature is to serve. You are happiest when you feel you are helping to advance the human race.

You are optimistic, inspiring, outgoing, and expressive. People see you as cheerful, positive and charming; your personality has a certain bounce and verve that so powerfully affects others that you can inspire people without effort.

All of this upward energy is a symptom of your tremendous creativity. Your verbal skills may well lead you into the fields of writing, comedy, theater, and music.

Yours is the number of self-expression -- rich in imagination and spirit. But you have to be careful not to scatter your talents. Your bane is that you often lack discipline and order in your life. Avoid becoming a "happy- go-lucky" spendthrift, escaping responsibility and commitment. You must learn to concentrate and focus.

These are the keys to your success. You have great potential in the arts and areas that requires creative solutions to problems. You are able to perform leaps of imagination, providing unconventional ideas as if they suddenly descended from above. Hard work and focus, however, are the foundation for a successful future.

Though you possess great verbal skills, your mind tends to see life as pictures rather than in words. Yet, you have the ability to think abstractly.

Creativity is a sensitive faculty that is often suppressed in childhood. If you lack the confidence to pursue your ideas, you may divert your abilities into a scattering of trivial pursuits.

To overcome this problem, you must make a choice. You have to limit your field of vision and the number of activities you engage in, and bundle your energies into a single thrust. Focus your life; choose the area that you love the most, and commit. There, you will find success. And a great deal of happiness.

Love, romance, and money are within your reach. You are aided by your friends and admirers. Often people appear out of nowhere to help you in key situations. You have to learn to accept the involvement of others in your life. You are not a loner, nor are you particularly independent. You are social -- you need an audience and the support of others to fully realize your abilities.

On the down-side, you can be superficial, moody, and intolerant. You are emotional and sensitive, sometimes presuming criticism where none was intended. You can also be jealous and gossipy. Beware of becoming cynical and sarcastic. These traits can suppress your natural creativity.

Be goal-oriented. This is a practical, step-by-step approach to your larger ambitions. You possess the natural abilities to attain a high degree of excellence.

More than any other number in your chart, your Expression number reflects who you are as a person. Earlier, you read about the Life Path number and how important that number is in your chart. However, the Life Path number reflects “the path you walk on,” and should be seen more as a powerful influence than as a part of your personality makeup. Your Expression number on the other hand, reflects a deeper part of you. It is more difficult to overcome possible negative traits you may have recognized in yourself when they are found in this part of the chart, than when they are found under the Life Path description.

It can’t be emphasized too much how important it is to realize that numbers in different areas of the chart affect you differently, even when it is the same number. Sometimes, you may read something that seems to directly contradict earlier statements. Yet, if you take the time to think about them carefully, you will probably recognize that you, as a human being, are extremely complex and full of the same contradictions. This is simply the way we are. You may be organized in one area of your life, while chaos rules in another area. You may be tactful and sensitive in one setting, and direct and confrontational in another situation.

This aspect of the chart, Madonna and Albert, reflects excellent compatibility between the two of you. The three and the nine can form a strong unity, one that often lasts for a very long time - if not forever.

They represent archetypes that are almost mythical in their romantic bond. Lots of stories of endless patience and self-sacrifice could be told about this unity. And what makes this so surprising is the fact that this is possible even though both numbers are considered self-centered, even egocentric at times.

Madonna and Albert, you both have powerful imaginations and intense inner lives, and that makes the two of you creative, albeit in very different ways. Madonna has a unique, somewhat offbeat originality, and expects life to be full of unexpected events and turns. Albert, in turn, likes to manipulate the environment until everything is harmonious. Albert has the talent to combine colors and materials to create beauty in a disciplined manner. Madonna appreciates the way Albert seems to be able to control events and surroundings, while Albert envies the easy manner in which Madonna accepts, and takes advantage of, whatever life has to offer. This brings balance to your relationship.

Madonna, your three in this part of the chart is often compared to the sun: you are warming and comforting to everyone, inspiring and uplifting to all. Albert, the number nine you carry is the most idealistic and self-sacrificing number. Like the three, it offers its love freely and generously.

Although they are both loving, generous and worldly numbers, they can never forget for a moment that they are at the center of whatever they dispense.

So, they can sometimes conflict, in particular when both are vying for the same limelight. In such circumstances, they are like politicians in an election run-off. Even if, privately, they respect and like each other, they will try to take away the attention and spotlight from their partners. They can become very competitive, in which case, just like politicians, they will do anything to win, even start throwing dirt at each other if they feel justified.

But that is pretty much the only area where the three and the nine combination may encounter problems. This is, therefore, where you, Madonna and Albert, will have to be careful. Don’t become competitive. Don’t feel you have to put down your partner in order to elevate yourself. Instead, if you find that in social situations you compete with each other, take an honest look at yourself and acknowledge it. In essence, this number combination shows great compatibility in this aspect of the chart. Avoid competition and instead invest in building the caring, romantic, life-long unity that comes so natural to you.

This is what 'makes you tick' -- your innermost yearning, your underlying motivation. It reflects the dreams which are closest to your heart, and shows the general intention behind many of your actions. It also dramatically influences the choices you make in every area of your life.

You love knowledge, study, and insight. You value the gifts of your mind, which you use to great advantage to penetrate the mysteries of life. You study things in-depth. You search beneath the surface of things. You abhor shallow judgments or opinions.

You have a natural gift for analysis and research. Once you have grasped the facts of a subject, your creativity and abstract approach lifts your thinking beyond the rudimentary to the philosophical. You have a theoretical mind, but rather than indulge in fantasies or idle thought, you prefer to base your theories upon scientific facts.

You enjoy mental and physical puzzles -- figuring them out, taking them apart, and putting them back together.

Some people may perceive you as cool or aloof. You are somewhat introverted; you may feel slightly removed and even a little different. The fantasy of the hermit or monk engaged in a life of study and meditation appeals to you.

In relationships, you tend to keep things business-like and impersonal. You prefer to talk about the facts of a given situation, rather than the cloudier issues of emotions and personal feelings. You distrust feelings -- both your own and those of others. The whole emotional realm strikes you as unreliable, and a bit unnecessary.

Your inability to fully understand the emotional aspect of life is your Achilles heel. You are so rational that the unpredictability of the heart frightens and surprises you.

Your challenge is to trust. You need to share your heart with someone. This is a courageous step for you, but will result in enormous growth and satisfaction.

The advice here is to make a true connection with another human being. Without it, you may marry out of convenience or to fulfill social expectations, but it will not lead you out of loneliness. The more removed you are from people, the more you risk isolation, bitterness, and a cynical attitude toward life.

This choice represents a true crossroads in your development. By sharing yourself with others (without compromising your independence and need for privacy) you can cultivate your enormous charm and share your understanding of life. You are a natural teacher and advisor. And the wealth of knowledge you will accumulate in life is meant to be shared with others.

This is not to say that you must compromise on your need for privacy or time spent alone to contemplate life. These are natural aspects of your personality, which are essential to your growth. These characteristics should not be threatening to your spouse, but must be understood as fundamental to your being.

You are blessed with a great reserve of intuition, which can be cultivated by regular meditation and contemplation. Your "inner voice" is your greatest guide and friend.

You are idealistic and have high expectations for yourself. Learn to balance your serious nature with regular doses of fun.

Your intelligence and cultivation make you charming and distinguished in appearance. As you get older and more comfortable with your identity, people are naturally attracted to you. They see your wisdom, your deep understanding of life, and the refinement you radiate.

You want to be of service to the world. Your deepest satisfaction comes from knowing that you have advanced the cause of humanity.

Your ideals are of the highest order. You are a perfectionist. You strive to make the world a utopia; to make each person's lot in life better; to become perfect yourself. One of your challenges in life is to strive toward your lofty goals and at the same time recognize the good you are doing.

You like and are fascinated by people from all walks of life. Human nature is a lifelong study for you. You are highly intuitive, but not an especially good judge of character. You are a bit naive, as well, thinking perhaps that all people have the same values as you.

You dream of having the resources to immediately relieve the suffering of others, whether it is economic, physical, or psychological.

You are gifted with a good mind and a great deal of wisdom, which makes you a natural teacher, counselor, or healer.

As much as you desire to be of service to others, you also crave fame and the approval of the masses. Much of the energy you expend in life is directed toward putting yourself before an audience, most often as a salesperson whose product provides some social good; as a philanthropist; or an artist.

You are attracted to the arts as a vocation, especially as an actor, photographer, or writer. But whatever your profession, any involvement in the arts, even as a hobby, will provide you with a deep and lasting satisfaction.

Secretly, you dream of having a big impact on the world. Others may see this as egotism, especially when you are still young. But your concern for others is genuine. You must apply yourself in this direction in order to become psychologically whole and personally satisfied.

Your vision is on the crowds of people, which can cause you to overlook the needs of those closest to you. You need personal love as well, but have a tendency to put your needs in the background. Still, you are a loving person, and only need to be reminded to direct and demonstrate that love to those nearby. If, however, you are focused exclusively on the masses, people will perceive you as distant and a bit aloof.

You are emotional, and sensitive. You can also be moody and critical. You have high expectations for yourself and others. This can cause you much anger when your expectations are unfulfilled. One of your most important life lessons is to forgive.

Because you are striving hard to attain high ideals, you may think of yourself as superior to others. Arrogance is a trap many 9s fall into. The danger is that arrogance cuts you off from the thing you love the most: people.

Your happiness and contentment are therefore highly dependant on the ease with which you are able to serve and influence mankind.

It is the paradox of your Heart's Desire that you receive by giving. Both your material success and spiritual satisfaction are made possible through service and sacrifice to others.

Compatibility of the Heart’s Desire numbers is extremely important in a relationship - few relationships last beyond the initial stage if the Heart’s Desire numbers are not compatible.

Albert and Madonna, the seven and the nine usually get along fine, as long as too much interaction is not required. Although compatible in some areas, they are not that interested in each other’s issues. If you imagine the seven and the nine as two archetypes forced to spend some time together in a social event, you might see them politely chatting about superficial stuff for a couple of minutes, then lapse into extended silence. However, there is no dislike, the issue here is simply a lack of interest.

Albert and Madonna, although the numbers in this part of your charts add no particular excitement and energy to your relationship, on the plus side we find that they rarely cause any kind of discordance.

Religion is one of the few areas where the seven and the nine tend to be incompatible. Madonna thrives on faith and has the intuitive understanding that all things are in balance. This understanding is also the reason why Madonna may occasionally experience completely unexpected financial windfalls in the form of an inheritance or some other stroke of luck. Albert, on the other hand, needs to be able to recognize logic and does not accept anything at face value. Albert questions everything and religious belief, at least as reflected by the seven in this part of the chart, is alien to Albert’s intellectual quest for understanding. Sometimes, this can turn Albert into a skeptic, even cynical, which goes against the faith of the nine.

Your completely different taste may well generate other areas of conflict. Albert might enjoy life in a great metropolis, while a cozy chalet up on a hill in the countryside would be like Paradise for Madonna. But one thing is for sure: when is comes to deciding colors and objects for your home, the nine is unquestionably better suited.

This is often the first impression others get of you before they really get to know you. From your point of view, it is the aspect of yourself you feel comfortable sharing with people at the outset of a relationship. As a result, it tends to act as a sort of filter in your life, attracting certain kinds of people and situations to you, and keeping others away.

You appear friendly and unpretentious. You have a soft and warm exterior. Others perceive you as gentle, safe harbor. People are drawn to you because, among other reasons, you appear warm and unthreatening.

Your dress is neat and clean. Your clothing should be comfortable, soft, and flowing. You should avoid plain and understated clothes. Make an effort to be a little more daring and exciting in your appearance. This will balance nicely with your perceptive and open personality.

The opposite sex is attracted to your gentle and attentive nature, yet senses the passion beneath your surface. You have sex appeal.

Exercise is important to your appearance and to promote the level of strength you radiate.

You are very patient and understanding, and a wonderful listener. You make others feel important and loved.

You are sensitive and become tense in a disharmonious atmosphere. You have experienced quite a bit of negative criticism as a child, which made you shy growing up. Though you may be well past that shyness, a bit of the vulnerability has remained with you and is often sensed by others.

You are a peacemaker. Arguments leave you drained. People sense your desire for harmony. But you must avoid being the blank tablet for others' projections. People may underestimate your strength, but this is a mistake. You are strong. You bend, but don't break.

You have a fine sense of beauty and excellent taste. There is a grace in your movements, reflecting your keen sense of harmony and refinement.

You are highly attractive. Many men with a 3 Personality are very handsome; women are often strikingly beautiful.

Your vibration is full of life. You are uplifting, inspiring, and charming. You are a fun person to be around. Your wit and sparkling personality make you the life of a party.

You are extroverted and optimistic. You appreciate fine clothing and jewelry, and enjoy dressing up a bit. You like glamour, and are sought after by the opposite sex.

You are a romantic. You fall in and out of love rather quickly. You are affectionate and giving.

Do not let your charm be an incentive to play too much. Work at developing deep and lasting relationships. You have to avoid scattering your attention for popularity.

You can be flippant about commitments and may dramatize or exaggerate.

Your wit can cause you to rely too much on superficial, humorous conversation.

You have a distinct "lucky streak" that attracts many opportunities throughout your life. You also have a knack of promoting yourself as well as inspiring others. When backed up by hard work and self-disciple, these qualities almost ensure your success.

Quickly recognized when two people first meet, not many relationships even get started unless the Personality numbers are compatible.

Albert, as a number two, you are not very well equipped to deal with criticism and confrontations - - you are vulnerable and can hold a grudge. On the other hand, Madonna, as a number three, has an in-born ability to let negative criticisms bounce off without letting them do much damage. That does not mean that Madonna can't be hurt, but simply that Madonna does not allow little things to spoil the experience. And that is exactly where a possible danger exists. A bit tactless at times, Madonna can occasionally put the foot in the mouth, without realizing that this has a negative effect on Albert. However, when “little things” grow into big emotional issues in which even Madonna is strongly affected, Madonna will respond passionately. Madonna may even lose sight of the beauty and love that is the foundation of your relationship, letting anger and sharp verbal skills do considerable damage. Albert will respond, perhaps with a few angry words, but, more likely, by withdrawing. Thus, a hard kernel of resentment wrapped up in confusion and sometimes hidden from view for a long time - since Albert doesn't think too clearly when emotions are in play and tends to walk away from confrontations - may eventually become a source of such discontent that it will take everything Madonna has to offer to bring Albert back.

On a more positive note, the combination of 2 and 3 is a very passionate and strong one. So, as long as Madonna keeps verbal impulses under control, and Albert has enough self-confidence to handle occasional criticisms, the relationship has every chance of bringing lots of love and joy to your life.

Often, the combination two and three in this aspect of the chart also enhances each other's creative juices. The sense of harmony and rhythm connected to the two merges beautifully with the powers of expression so native to the three. Your relationship is strengthened enormously by sharing creative interests, and that is where you should concentrate your efforts.

Keep in mind that beauty and love lie at the bottom of your relationship, and that it is in your own hands to gradually destroy or make them stronger day after day. Discuss any issues - open and frank, but also with tact and sensitivity - as they come up.

Your Personal Year number gives a strong indication of the trends and circumstances you will experience during the calendar year. (Your Personal Year number changes each January for 9 years, then the cycle is completed and starts again.)

Each of the 9 Personal Years has it's own energy and character, much like each season has its own unique weather. By tuning into the natural energy of our Personal Year, we can act like the farmer, choosing the best time to start new projects (spring planting), nurture our crops (summer), cash in our rewards (fall harvest), or rest and review (winter).

This is a year to be organized and practical. Take care of details. Commit yourself entirely to your goals.

Your concentration and ability to focus will be much improved over last year. You will have an attitude of realism and determination.

There can be a sense of limitation and some frustration this year. However, it is a year of important opportunities that must be seized. There can be considerable work-related travel.

You must be flexible this year to make full use of the opportunities that present themselves. It will require a combination of perseverance, hard work, and versatility.

You will receive recognition for your efforts and support from your friends and family.

It is a good year to buy real estate or remodel your home. It is also a good time to take care of projects which have been postponed for to long.

Fulfill your obligations and do not be afraid to spend some of that hard earned money. Selling and trading during this year usually is quite successful.

This is the year to work on your foundation and prepare yourself for the many changes that will undoubtedly come next year.

As a result of your hard work, there will be much satisfaction and a feeling of accomplishment.

January and February will bring some important change, a new opportunity perhaps. March requires self-reflection and reshaping of your plans. It is a good time to meditate on what lies ahead. June brings a new and important step -- a breakthrough, perhaps -- in your work. October brings changes and a sense of chaos. You may feel threatened by the changes that are on the horizon. But November brings assistance in the form of a promotion or additional financial support.

This is a year to carefully protect and nurture your plans. You will be like a mother watching over her children, conscious of every threat, real or imagined.

You need tact and cooperation to keep yourself moving forward. There will likely be confrontations with others, requiring a subtle and gentle approach. You will have to stay focused on your goals, yet use intelligent persuasion. Being forceful may work against you; compromises will work in your favor.

You will be unusually sensitive and may wonder at times what happened to the drive and momentum you felt last year. This year requires something else from you now -- a delicate sense of balance and a willingness to go around obstacles, without losing sight of your goal.

You may experience some emotional depressions and frustrations. The year is marked by struggle, but there are many opportunities to advance your plans.

This is a year of slow growth, requiring patience.

Be discriminating in your associations and secretive about your plans. Don't talk too much about your ideas; be a bit secretive; guard yourself and your ideas. You are somewhat vulnerable this year.

This is a good year to improve yourself through reading and research. Your growing awareness of the less visible and less obvious aspects of life will make you much stronger and better prepared for the future.

You must be wise in all your relationships and associations this year. You are far more capable of establishing close, even life long relationships this year. Because sensitivity and openness are heightened, many people find their "soul mate" in a two year.

May is the pivotal month in the year. You are extremely intuitive and sensitive. You are also self-reflecting and better able to influence your peers and situation through spiritual awareness. July brings a culmination of plans and a distinct step forward. August sees things become more concrete and brings a new beginning. September is emotional, requiring adjustments, tact, and inner resolve. The 2 year is a year of growth and advancement, but through gentle means, and the indirect use of your personal power.

Compatibility is as important with the cycles as it is with character traits. It is possible for a relationship between two people with otherwise very compatible charts to break down as a result of encountering one or more incompatible cycles. However, it is much easier to overcome or avoid possible pitfalls resulting from incompatible cycles than from incompatible personality traits.

For Madonna, a time of growth as a result of networking, meeting people in relation to work or business, and consolidating plans. For Albert, a time of hard work, focus, and probably a fair amount of frustration. For both of you, Madonna and Albert, the focal point should be career, work, your plans, your future.

The relationship is not much of an issue. It is possible that you will experience times when you don’t seem to communicate much or share as much time together as usual. You may even feel that you are pulling away from each other. Don’t worry. It is simply a matter of not being able to be in two places at the same time.

This, however, is only one side of the coin. On a more subtle plane, it is almost as if the opposite takes place. Because for Albert this is also a time of finding stability and comfort. Of placing things where they belong and establishing boundaries and territories. While for Madonna the heart rules and emotions are strongly felt and quickly displayed. This means that you complement each other. While Albert works on the practical aspects of your relationship, Madonna energizes the relationship on a deeper level. You could say that during this time, Albert works on the home and Madonna works on the heart.

This is a year of dynamic change. Many surprises will come your way. Be open and ready to embrace new opportunities.

Do not be overly careful this year. This is a year in which a major step forward can take place if you are willing to take some calculated risks and do a little gambling. Wisdom and prudence is the key, but you will definitely be faced with choices that require fast action and a willingness to act before all the facts are in.

This is an exciting year in which you will be required to promote yourself in order to take full advantage of the opportunities that await you.

There will be increased opportunity to travel and possibly a change of residence.

You may be tempted by the desires of the flesh: too much food, alcohol, sex, and drugs. Be careful and discriminate. You could make mistakes in these areas.

You will have some unexpected adventures and lucky breaks this year.

This can be an unsettling year if you try to cling to outmoded methods or characteristics. This a year to throw off the old and adopt the new. It is a rebirth and a release after last year's struggle.

This is a year in which change takes place consistently, and particularly so in April and May. July is a breakthrough, a time to enjoy life. September can be intense, while October requires tact and balance in relationships.

This is a year of expansion and personal growth. It is a time of heightened personal expression. Creativity and artistic talent come to the forefront. You are lighthearted and drawn to all kinds of social events.

More than most other years, you will entertain and be entertained. You meet new and exciting people. It is a time to appreciate all that you have.

You are highly dynamic and charismatic. Your challenge is to avoid scattering your energies. You have a rare opportunity to bring forth new and creative ideas. But that requires discipline and focus.

It is easy to be optimistic and enthusiastic this year and this may result in speeding up your projects. Yet there will be delays and disappointments unless your enthusiasm is based upon the reality of work and concentration.

This is a pleasant time in which friendship is enjoyed and love shared easily.

This is often a good financial year, particularly if your creativity is well directed. Surround yourself with upbeat and positive people.

You may travel more than usual, which in all likelihood will be filled with exciting people and pleasure.

Control this years tendencies towards glamour and extravagance, yet allow your self more room to enjoy and celebrate.

You communicate well this year and are more capable of getting your ideas across.

Love is in the air.

February brings changes; June sees the completion of a project and July signals a new beginning. August can be emotional, as can November.

This is one of the most compatible combinations of cycles, Madonna and Albert. You are both experiencing a time of enhanced energy and dynamic growth.

Within the contexts of your relationship, you are able to communicate well, enjoy each other’s company, and play off each other’s energy. Lower blood pressure and less stress bring more flexibility to the body and to the mind, which explains why this is considered a cycle of healing.

There is little negative to say about this combination of cycles, except for the inherit danger of having too much fun. Quite often, the three as well as the five draw elements of danger in their search for new and exciting experiences, which does not go unnoticed to those around you. You will have to be careful not to draw into your circle people whose influence is less than desirable.

This is a year of progress and financial advancement. Major career opportunities present themselves. It is a challenging year in which personal growth is joined with new responsibilities and challenges.

This is a year of domestic responsibility and attention to the needs of family and friends. It is a time of heart felt emotions and some sacrifice. It is a time for comforting and caring.

You realize the importance of your place within your community. You will be called upon to help others bear their burdens. You are the proverbial friend in need.

You must work to create an atmosphere of harmony and balance. It is often a time when marital issues surface and need attention. However, you possess the understanding to deal with such issues effectively if you apply yourself with love and flexibility.

These deep feelings bring renewal to relationships and often a birth in the family.

May is an emotional month filled with the promise and the stress of imminent changes. June is a breakthrough and a relief. September brings advancement, October self- reflection and readjustments, and December brings a sense of completion and fulfillment.

This is a year to be organized and practical. Take care of details. Commit yourself entirely to your goals.

Your concentration and ability to focus will be much improved over last year. You will have an attitude of realism and determination.

There can be a sense of limitation and some frustration this year. However, it is a year of important opportunities that must be seized. There can be considerable work-related travel.

You must be flexible this year to make full use of the opportunities that present themselves. It will require a combination of perseverance, hard work, and versatility.

You will receive recognition for your efforts and support from your friends and family.

It is a good year to buy real estate or remodel your home. It is also a good time to take care of projects which have been postponed for to long.

Fulfill your obligations and do not be afraid to spend some of that hard earned money. Selling and trading during this year usually is quite successful.

This is the year to work on your foundation and prepare yourself for the many changes that will undoubtedly come next year.

As a result of your hard work, there will be much satisfaction and a feeling of accomplishment.

January and February will bring some important change, a new opportunity perhaps. March requires self-reflection and reshaping of your plans. It is a good time to meditate on what lies ahead. June brings a new and important step -- a breakthrough, perhaps -- in your work. October brings changes and a sense of chaos. You may feel threatened by the changes that are on the horizon. But November brings assistance in the form of a promotion or additional financial support.

Madonna and Albert, the combination of cycles you are now undergoing offers a number of opportunities for you to improve the quality of all aspects of your life. You complement each other very well. It is a time of shared effort with Madonna focusing on the practical aspects and Albert on the heart and health of the relationship. Madonna and Albert, your energies are in line and enhance all the good qualities found in the four and the six. You will experience progress as well as financial growth, and will also manage to play a larger role in the community around you. You may even find yourself combining your forces to reach common goals. Very few negative influences may come from this combination of cycles. Even a tendency for Madonna to become irritated - perhaps even angry - a little quicker during a four cycle is easily lessened by Albert’s ability to reach out and comfort Madonna.

January is a 5 Personal Month in a 4 Personal Year. You experience some self-doubt related to your work situation. You may question your direction. This frustration will be in the background for most of the year, but this month particularly feels a little bit out of control. However, hidden forces are guiding you carefully and your best approach is to persevere.

Later this month, or early next month, an opportunity will come your way that represents a step forward in your career.

This month also brings some unexpected changes in other areas of your life; possibly an unexpected trip. Be cautious in all financial affairs.

Your family members demand a lot of attention and much practical guidance is required from you. They look to you for direction.

Social events are favorable, particularly when they are work-related. You will make a very positive impression on someone who can help you move forward.

If married or involved, maintain harmony and avoid rocking the boat.

January is a 3 Personal Month in a 2 Personal Year. Hence, the month brings you optimism and energy. The drive and enthusiasm that emerged during the second half of last year is still with you, along with a certain caution born of inner change and the emotional ups and downs that arose during the previous 18 months.

You're aware of your need for support, cooperation, and advice. And this month, you find yourself establishing closer ties and better communication among those with whom you live and work.

You are also reflective and relaxed. Take time to play and laugh. Reach out to friends and loved ones. Communicate your ideas freely. You and your plans will be supported, which will heighten your optimism about the future.

Romance is an important part of this months' experiences, and the chances are good that you may meet someone special.

Relationship compatibility of Personal Month cycles can have a powerful effect. But keep in mind: the cycle is short. So, if you run into turmoil, it helps to remember that it is in the nature of a cycle to be only temporary.

Note: The compatibility between cycles is repetitive, as is the nature of cycles. While the influence of Personal Month cycles represented by the same number, can vary greatly depending on the yearly cycle, the compatibility aspect changes very little. You will therefore find that the compatibility description is the same when, for example, a 3 and 4 Personal Month combination is found in a 5 year, as when it is found in a 6 year.

Therefore, you will find that the possible influence of your Personal Month cycles never repeats itself within any one-hundred-and-eight-month period. However, the compatibility aspect repeats much more often - generally every nine months - but sometimes even less than that, depending on your Personal Year cycle.

This is one of the most compatible combinations of cycles, Madonna and Albert. You are both experiencing a time of enhanced energy and dynamic growth.

Within the contexts of your relationship, you are able to communicate well, enjoy each other’s company, and play off each other’s energy. Lower blood pressure and less stress bring more flexibility to the body and to the mind, which explains why this is considered a cycle of healing.

There is little negative to say about this combination of cycles, except for the inherit danger of having too much fun. Quite often, the three as well as the five draw elements of danger in their search for new and exciting experiences, which does not go unnoticed to those around you. You will have to be careful not to draw into your circle people whose influence is less than desirable.

February is a 6 Personal Month in a 4 Personal Year. It brings an increase in responsibility and workload. You receive recognition for your efforts and abilities, and probably a financial increase, as well.

Perhaps even more important is the role friends and family play during the period. Loyalty and a willingness to sacrifice time and energy to your loved ones is needed.

You, in turn, receive comfort and satisfaction from their obvious love for you. It is a time of love, warmth, and a strengthening of the bonds that form the foundation of your life. It is also a good time to start domestic projects, such as minor remodeling and home repair.

If you are not married and are not involved in a relationship, you may meet someone who catches your interest. In this case, the relationship will develop slowly but will endure. Your focus should be on being dependable and active.

There is no room for procrastination. Your health improves during this time.

February is a 4 Personal Month in a 2 Personal Year. You will realize early this month that progress depends upon your willingness to work diligently and remain focused on details.

You feel capable and confident, but as your effort increases -- and the hours pile up -- you may become frustrated with the slow response of others. Keep your nose to the grindstone, and if necessary put in overtime. Don't try to dodge the bullet; bite down on it and keep going.

Meanwhile, be willing to cooperate, listen to others, and tactfully communicate your convictions, as well as your doubts.

This is an excellent month to improve your financial position, particularly through better management. Through your consistent and patient effort, a raise or profitable business deal is also in the cards.

Relationships tend to be a little shaky for most of this month. You may be somewhat irritable and lack patience as a result of stress and emotional turmoil in your work-environment.

Maintaining a well-ordered environment and avoiding procrastination will help you bypass much emotional stress.

Madonna and Albert, the combination of cycles you are now undergoing offers a number of opportunities for you to improve the quality of all aspects of your life. You complement each other very well. It is a time of shared effort with Madonna focusing on the practical aspects and Albert on the heart and health of the relationship. Madonna and Albert, your energies are in line and enhance all the good qualities found in the four and the six. You will experience progress as well as financial growth, and will also manage to play a larger role in the community around you. You may even find yourself combining your forces to reach common goals. Very few negative influences may come from this combination of cycles. Even a tendency for Madonna to become irritated - perhaps even angry - a little quicker during a four cycle is easily lessened by Albert’s ability to reach out and comfort Madonna.

March is a 7 Personal Month in a 4 Personal Year and should bring some significant changes in your outlook. Indeed, the month is filled with the mystery of life.

You are aware that you are developing spiritually. This is not a good time to deny important issues in your life, or be superficial about significant matters. Your dreams are vivid and if you take some time immediately after awakening to contemplate their meaning, you have the potential to gain some insights that uplifts you and raises your confidence in your life's direction.

You are mentally sharp and creative. You solve problems and gain insight into things that have floated in the background of your consciousness for some time.

It is a period of hard work -- possibly overtime -- juxtaposed with much soul-searching and the need for quiet contemplation.

You may be offered an opportunity to become involved in a new endeavor. Be careful with anything that promises a fast return. This year, long-term projects are far more favorable than get-rich-quick-schemes, or short-term gambles.

Your need for peace and quiet during this month may make your friends and family members wonder whether you have some problem that you are not willing to share.

March is a 5 Personal Month in a 2 Personal Year. It brings some relief from last months' frustrating efforts to persuade others and to keep track of the details.

This month will be hectic with some unexpected changes. Don't try to plan everything down to its final detail. Instead, be flexible and adapt to whatever comes your way.

The expression "being in the flow", is instructive for most of this month and you will be astonished by coincidences in which timing is crucial. Don't make financially risky decisions, especially involving business. Checking and double-check all your facts before going forward with your plans. Be skeptical! However, your ability to promote yourself, your plans, or a product is enhanced.

There will be many social events and opportunities. Take advantage of them. The chances of meeting new people who can support you in your endeavors are especially good.

A letter or phone call from someone you haven't heard from in a long time may surprise you.

It's high noon for romance, but be warned. You may not be as discriminating and cautious as you should be. Allow your rational mind to take a critical look at flattering admirer(s).

Madonna and Albert, this is one of the most healing and loving cycles you can experience. The five and the seven are very different, but they get along extremely well.

Madonna is undergoing a time of changes and dynamic energy. Albert, you are a bit more withdrawn than usual because your focus is on your inner life: who you are and where you are going. Although the cycles tend to influence you very differently -- outward for Madonna, inward for Albert -- these energies thrive on each other. Albert, your desire, consciously or subconsciously, to understand better who you are and where you want to go, as well as the fact that you are more quiet and subdued, creates somewhat of an aura of mystery around you. This is very attractive to Madonna, in particular during this time when nothing else seems subtle and mysterious. Madonna’s charged energy and inspiring attitude has a powerful and positive effect on Albert, for whom this is like a lifeline to the “real” world. A mistake people in Madonna’s position sometimes make, however, is to view their partner’s quietness to mean that something is wrong. Don’t make that mistake, Madonna. The one thing people in a seven period don’t want is for someone else to try to draw them out of that quiet space. Albert would probably experience that as annoying and intrusive. Just be together. That is all it takes to make this a wonderful time of closeness and deeply felt appreciation.

April is an 8 Personal Month in a 4 Personal Year. It promises to be rewarding financially as well as in other areas of life. There is a catch: It is essential to take care of details, to be reliable, and to keep things organized. If you allow yourself to get sloppy in any of these areas, the results could be disastrous. Still, the combination of numbers

(8 and 4) gives you ample support in all efforts at organization and management.

Respect, recognition, financial reward come to those who are careful. Financial problems and struggle (some may even experience bankruptcy) come to those who are careless. The more you stay clear and focused, the higher the rewards will be.

Relationships that are not related to work are not a high priority this month. Your attention should be given towards career and finances, as well as to people who play important roles in those areas of your life. The advice for this month is to get up early, put your nose to the grindstone, be organized, and don't hesitate to move yourself to the foreground in your work-environment. If you are due for a raise, ask for it. If a business associate is not fulfilling his/her duties, confront that person. If a payment is due, call it in.

April is a 6 Personal Month in a 2 Personal Year. Matters of the heart come to the foreground.

Romance is now at the top of your list of opportunities.

On the other hand, the month brings instability to outdated relationships, and some may end. You become aware of the need to let go of certain people, although final good-byes may not occur until July or early August of this year.

Your family and friends need more attention and you will likely find yourself playing the roles of mediator, comforter, and counselor. You'll be the one to offer the proverbial shoulder to cry on this month. A younger person, particularly, needs your love and attention.

Your career is guided favorably by the Force. There is an increase in your workload and responsibilities due to a promotion -- or one that may be in the offing. The change may well bring financial rewards.

This is a good time for finances, particularly those related to real-estate.

Although quite different, these cycles are nonetheless very compatible. Both of you, Madonna and Albert, will experience progress in career and other worldly matters. Albert and Madonna, this can turn out to be an excellent time that may well bring a financial windfall.

On a more personal level, you are also more involved with each other, albeit in very different ways. For Madonna, it is simply a matter of the heart. Madonna feels strongly committed and wants nothing more than to make Albert happy. For Albert, there is some awakening of leadership spirit and ambition, even within the relationship. And here is where we may encounter a possible pitfall. Albert, your tact and diplomacy are not particularly enhanced right now. You are taking more control of your life, but you have to be careful not to try and take control of the lives of those you care about, including, of course, Madonna’s life. It is easy to see how that can become a source of friction: Madonna needs your love, not your leadership. Focus your ambition on other things and allow your heart, not your mind, to control your relationship.

May is a 9 Personal Month in a 4 Personal Year and may introduce some emotional turmoil due to a relationship gone awry.

A friend or co-worker has let you down. Your trust has been damaged and you realize that this is not just a temporary disappointment but the conclusion of the relationship. While you have reason to be angry, you should avoid self-righteousness.

You may want to remember that you are not without fault. This allows the anger and disappointment to turn into understanding and forgiveness, even if the situation can not be saved.

As a way of healing this type of wound, life may offer you the opportunity to become involved in a good cause. Sacrificing some of your time and energy will prove very rewarding and will deliver some benefits that are not immediately obvious.

This month, your health requires some special attention, particularly your digestive tract. Watch what you eat. Avoid excesses.

It is possible that your career is heading for a change of direction, which may be of some concern for you. Look to next month for some insight into that aspect of your life.

May is a 7 Personal Month in a 2 Personal Year. The combination leads to powerful self-discoveries and intuitive perceptions. It is a highly spiritual time, causing you to withdraw from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Your focus is inward. You find yourself contemplating the mystery of your own existence, your purpose in life, and your direction.

You find yourself taking time off to read, meditate. Your interests are spiritual, not worldly. It's an excellent time to take a vacation, as long as you avoid group-activities.

Social demands will make you irritable and out of sorts. Be with yourself or enjoy meaningful discussions with someone close to you. In this way, you may deepen your marriage or romantic relationship.

It is a time for wisdom and insights, even premonitions and revelations that have little to do with intellectual effort, but are the result of heightened awareness and a free-flowing channel between your sub-conscious and your conscious.

Be particularly alert to your dreams and the direction and insight they offer.

Madonna and Albert, you may feel somewhat distant from each other during this period. You are both experiencing a lot of emotions that are not easily understood or explained. Although you share the need to be more inward focused than usual, the reasons are quite different. Madonna, in what is at least in part a subconscious effort, is seeking understanding and clarity. Madonna is on a path of increased self-awareness and spiritual growth. Albert is also influenced by energies that focus inward, but on a more practical and emotional level. Some hovering insecurity may cause Albert to feel less confident than usual. There are doubts and questions in Albert’s life, but they are different in nature from Madonna’s. Albert’s turmoil is largely emotional.

There is a big difference in the way this internal search for understanding is experienced. Madonna, strange as it may sound, actually feels strong and capable. Albert, on the other hand, feels vulnerable. Albert needs you right now, Madonna. Albert doesn’t per se expect any answers from you, but you can be a much-needed source of strength. For both of you, this is a learning cycle. And you will certainly come out spiritually and emotionally stronger.

June is a 1 Personal Month in a 4 Personal Year. It gives you a new start in some area of your life, perhaps career, or a some new project or endeavor.

This is a month of promise and opportunity. Your energy-level increases, as does your excitement for your new direction.

This period requires courage and flexibility. You should also be more verbal: Express your thoughts and feelings; inspire and motivate others to follow your lead.

You may have a difficult time relaxing or enjoying yourself outside working hours. But it's important that you do just that.

An attraction to someone at work may signal danger to you. Even if you are committed, this attraction will prove quite powerful. Be careful. It may damage your future in many ways, not least of which is your career. Consider postponing any action in this area.

June is an 8 Personal Month in a 2 Personal Year. Now the time is ripe to reach out and receive some of the fruits of your labors. It is a harvesting time, but the rewards are still dependent upon good relations with co-workers. Ask for a promotion, or a raise. Let those in the right positions know that you value the recognition and respect they bestow upon you.

You are in the right state of mind to deal with some tricky personality-clashes; solve communication problems; turn enemies into friends; and in many ways manipulate events through gentle persuasion. The numbers 2 and 8 allow you to handle sensitive issues with tact and diplomacy, as well as with authority and decisiveness. It is a good time for negotiations in every area of your life, personal as well as professional.

Romance is very favorable, but can be spoiled by money issues. On the other hand, domestic affairs can be troublesome and can leave you feeling powerless unless you are willing to cooperate.

Leave such issues alone for now. The domestic scene is better handled next month, when all dealings with relatives are easier and smoother.

The one and eight is an excellent combination to inspire both of you to get busy. Albert is pushing towards goals and Madonna is discovering goals. The two of you are treading on a path of progress and financial improvement, although there may be some danger involved for Madonna, who should be very careful and suspicious of any get-rich-quick schemes.

The gap between the cycles is considerable and has to do with your different spiritual paths. This will become particularly clear during this period and may cause some problems in the relationship. Much of it is superficial and a helpful bit of advice is to just ignore it. Sometimes, in order to maintain a healthy, strong relationship, you need to talk about your differences. There are instances though, when it is better to just avoid the subject and accept the fact that you love each other but are two different people with different experiences. This is a time to ignore the differences and just enjoy each other’s company.

Both of you, Albert and Madonna, are going through cycles that strengthen your position on the material plane, and during their span, your best approach is to focus on that. As to your intellectual and spiritual differences, you will be better off if you don’t disturb sleeping dogs.

July is a 2 Personal Month in a 4 Personal Year. At this time, your relationship with the people in your work or business environment is extremely important. You will need to be sensitive to their needs and desires and you will probably be called upon to play the role of mediator in a conflict between some of these people. Your success in that role will directly affect your future.

You may be disturbed by these new challenges because they emerge at a time when your workload is considerable. However, you are more sensitive and better able to discern the true basis of the conflict this month.

Your enhanced sensitivity also helps you in other areas of your life. Romance is strongly represented but should be kept out of the work environment, which may not be an easy thing to do.

You may have the opportunity to go to a concert or some other musical event and because of your enhanced sensitivity, such events will prove very therapeutic.

Pamper yourself in healthful ways, such as massage, a new exercise and dietary regime, or some time near the ocean, in the mountains, in the forest.

July is a 9 Personal Month in a 2 Personal Year and is both emotional and demanding. This is a month to take care of loose ends. Relationships that have been rocky of late will reach critical mass, to be worked out and deepened, or separated entirely. Actually, this is a testing period for relationships in all areas of your life. The 9 and the 2 combination -- both diplomatic, sensitive, and service oriented -- advises that you avoid confrontations. Work with issues quietly and patiently.

At the same time, it is an excellent period to look inward and acknowledge your own needs and desires. Let go of all that you have outgrown, including people, situations, material objects -- anything that you have out-grown. This month is your opportunity to avoid becoming an emotional and/or material packrat. This is the time to empty your cup in order to make room for new gifts coming your way.

This is a transition period. You will likely experience deep emotions, even nostalgia and melancholy. At times, you may feel exhausted. Yet, such feelings are not altogether unpleasant. There is a cleansing and healing taking place at a very deep and personal level.

You are not entirely conscious of all that is happening, and consequently you may not be able to express your feelings to others. You may sense that you do not fully understand yourself. Give it time and much will be revealed to you.

An opportunity to be involved in a good cause may present itself and your sacrifice will actually help you achieve stability and inner strength.

This is a good time financially. Some payment may be received for something you'd forgotten, or for reasons you do not expect.

This is a month that requires balance: you are feeling emotional yourself, but at the same time you must also focus on the needs of others. If you indulge too much in your own feelings, especially self-pity, you will suffer more self-doubt than if you remain balanced between your own needs and service to others.

Albert and Madonna, this is a time when you will be able to recognize whether the relationship is founded on real substance. You are both experiencing a time when emotional forces seem to rule. Albert is somewhat self-absorbed and emotional about pretty much everything. Vulnerable and sensitive, Albert is also more aware and finely tuned to recognize what is real and what is not. In order for the heart to see more clearly, some protective layers have to be dismantled. This is exactly what is going on with Albert in regards to the relationship. While the heart is seeking truth and clarity, it is also more exposed and vulnerable.

For Madonna, a different but no less emotionally charged period is reflected in the nine. Madonna is also searching for answers, but the question is not so much connected to the relationship as to Madonna, the human being. Madonna is facing a crossroads and not sure about which way to turn.

This is a very important time for Madonna, a time during which Madonna experiences ups and downs like a roller coaster. A time of growth and choice.

Albert and Madonna, you are two people going through different emotional and spiritual changes. You will be able to support each other only in the most basic sense; you can give each other love.

If the relationship has real substance, you will get through this time with flying colors. If the relationship does not have real substance, you will both know that by the end of this period.

August is a 3 Personal Month in a 4 Personal Year and is a good time for some relaxation. You will find your workload a little less demanding and may want to take some time off.

You are upbeat and optimistic and able to inspire and uplift others. Do not take matters so seriously this month. It's a time of enhanced creativity and practical application.

You are original in your approach to problem-solving. You receive inspiring ideas and are able to turn some of them into reality. You impress others with your deep understanding of the issues.

This month also brings spiritual realizations and insights.

You are more aware of the underlying forces that are at play in your life and in the world around you.

The challenge of this month is in overcoming a fear. You may find yourself confronting some injustice. It may be necessary to meet that injustice alone. Stand up for yourself!

Be wise, but do not seek to avoid the issues.

August is a 1 Personal Month in a 2 Personal Year. It brings new energy and a kind of restoration of life. There is a feeling of rebirth, excitement, a brightness in the air that wipes away the last residues of last months bouts of gloominess and self-doubt. You want a change, a challenge, some goal toward which you can direct your enthusiasm.

Well, that's what this month will bring. A new project, career change, something new. Keep in mind, however, that you are planting seeds now that must be nurtured and cultivated over the next year or so. In other words, you must remain focused on this dream to nurture it properly over time.

Don't take chances financially. Your optimism may make you impulsive and vulnerable. Remain cautious and research all propositions brought to you.

You likely will be introduced to new people and, if you are not already involved, one of them may evolve into a passionate romance. Here, also, the careful approach can save some future heartache. The child in you is very much alive, trusting and believing that everything is what it seems.

While this is a very promising time for romance, keep in mind that a certain amount of rational examination is necessary to protect yourself. Wait until the end of next month before you surrender your heart to the person you are attracted to.

Madonna and Albert, not only is this one of the most compatible cycles but it also shows that your cycles are usually compatible in nature. A gap of two will always be maintain
