"The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference." Before I began to study astrology, for many years I was, and remain, interested in science. In particular, physics and subatomic physics (the study of the particle world that comprises atoms and matter) have always fascinated me. As the years have gone by, I have seen many correlations between the paradigms and theories of science and physics, and the more mystical world we deal in when we approach astrology. In this article, I will try to present some of these correlations. I wish to state from the outset, however, that I won't attempt to "ultimately explain" these things. Pythagoras of Samos (560-480 BCE), is mostly remembered today for the "Pythagorean Theorem", which relates the length of the sides of a right triangle (a2 + b2 = c2). This is taught in every Jr. High School geometry class.

The Square therefore draws its fundamental meaning from the meaning of the number Four. The same is true of the remaining aspects. Those aspects which are most commonly used are even called "The Pythagorean Aspects", and consist of the ... Love by Numbers By adding up the numbers of your birth date you’ll find out what your ruling numerological number is. This is said to be your destiny or life number. Here’s how you work it out.

And the year 1,9,6,1 all add up to 17, then you add 1 and 7 together and it = 8. So now you have 9,9, and 8 which = 26. Then you add the 2 and 6 and it = 8, this is your destiny number.
