Your Life Path is 17/8  
 
   Shamir, you are gifted with natural leadership and the capacity to accumulate great
wealth. You have great talent for management in all areas of life, especially in business
and financial matters. You understand the material world; you intuitively know what
makes virtually any enterprise work. Your talent lies not with the bookkeeping or petty
management, but with the greater vision, its purpose, and long range goals.
   You are a visionary and a bit reckless. You possess the ability to inspire people to join
you in your quest, but often they are incapable of seeing what you see. Therefore, those
around you need your continual guidance, inspiration, and encouragement. You must
prod them into action and direct them along the lines of your vision.
   You attract financial success more than any other Life Path, but effort is required.
   Shamir, your challenge in life is to achieve a high degree of detachment, to understand
that power and influence must be used for the benefit of mankind. Those born with the
Number 8 Life Path, who do not understand the real and relative value of money are
bound to suffer the consequences of greed; they run the risk of losing it all!
   You must learn to bounce back from failures and defeats. You have the character and
resilience of a true survivor. It is not uncommon for a person with your Life Path to
experience major reverses, including bankruptcies, financial failure, but you also have the
talent and the sheer guts to make more than one fortune, and build many successful
enterprises. More than most people, your failures in marriage can be extremely
expensive for you.
   Despite the difficulties that life presents, you will experience the satisfaction that
comes from material wealth and the power that comes with it.
   Business, finance, real estate, law, science (particularly history, archeology, and
physics), publishing, and the management of large institutions are among the vocational
fields that suit you best. You are naturally attracted to positions of influence and
leadership -- Politics, social work, and teaching are among the many other areas where
your abilities can shine.
   You are a good judge of character, which aids you well in attracting the right people to
you.
   Most 8s like large families and sometimes tend to keep others dependent longer than
necessary. Although jovial in nature you are not demonstrative in showing your love and
affection.
   The desire for luxury and comfort is especially strong in you. Status is very important.
You must be careful to avoid living above your means.
   Shamir, your Life Path treads that dangerous ground where power lies -- and can
corrupt. You may become too self important, arrogant, and domineering, thinking that
your way is the only way. This leads inevitably to isolation and conflict. The people you
run the risk of hurting most are those you love, your family and friends.
   Be careful of becoming stubborn, intolerant, overbearing, and impatient.
These characteristics may be born early in the life of an 8 Life Path, who often learn these
negative traits after suffering under a tyrannical parent or a family burdened by repressive
religious or intellectual dogmas.
   Those with the 8 Life Path usually possess a strong physique, which is a symptom of
their inherent strength and resiliency.

BIRTHDAY  
 
   The day you were born bears great significance in understanding who you are and
where your talents lie.  The day of birth indicates some special talent you possess.  It is a
gift to you that will help you along your Life's Path.  Your day of birth is one of your four
core numbers -- the Life Path, Expression, and Heart’s Desire being the other three.  It is
the least significant of the four core numbers, but perhaps the most finite, in that it
reveals a specific ability you possess in a marked degree.

Your Birthday is 16  
 
   Shamir, your over-powering orientation is toward the philosophical and spiritual
aspects of life.  You are driven to understand the unseen world.  On some level, you feel
like a foreigner on planet Earth.  Your realm is the world of spirit.  Your challenge is to find
a way to ground that desire and understanding in practical terms so that it can be
effectively shared with others.
   You have a fine analytical mind that is capable of penetrating beneath the surface of
the subject at hand.  You also have the capacity for excellent concentration.  You must
use that mind to your greatest advantage.  Investigate the subjects you love and gain the
depth of knowledge in these fields.  Specialize.  Become an expert in a given area.  This
will give you a means of earning a living and personal power to share your wisdom.
   The great pitfall you face is the choice of becoming aloof, mental, and critical.  This will
result in alienation and even bitterness.  You can also easily lift off the ground, becoming
impractical and dreamy.  If you indulge too much in flight of fancy, you may drift from
reality and give up the possibility of earning an adequate living.
   Shamir, you have excellent intuition and may even possess psychic ability.  Trust your
intuition and use it as a guide in life.  But at all times, be practical in your application of
your insights.  Find concrete means of expressing yourself.  Pick a field that suits you --
science, metaphysics, philosophy, psychology, teaching, for example -- and deepen
yourself in its understanding.  But beware of becoming overly dogmatic and shut off from
the truths of others.
   You prefer to work alone, rather than in a group.  You can easily lose interest in your
projects, however, and must work hard to finish what you start.  You have to have faith
and let opportunities come your way, you may miss out if you reach and seek.
   You are very sensitive and feel deeply, but you don't share your feelings easily, nor do
you communicate them well.  
The realm of the heart troubles you for its shifting, nebulous qualities.  
You must work hard to understand this area of life.
   You like to spend time alone to contemplate and meditate, but have to be careful not to
withdraw too much.  Long-term relationships are not easily established nor maintained.

EXPRESSION  
 
   Your Expression number reveals your physical and mental constitution, the orientation
or goal of your life.  Some numerologists refer to this number as the Destiny, because it
represents a lifelong target at which you are aiming.  You work at fulfilling this potential
every day of your life.  Thus, the Expression number reveals your inner goal, the person
you aim to be.  
   The Expression number reveals the talents, abilities, and shortcomings that were with
you when you entered your human body.  Your name, and the numbers derived from it,
reveals your development, as well as the talents and issues you will be working with
during this life.
   For those for whom reincarnation is an accepted philosophy, the vibration of your full
name can be seen as the totality of your personal evolution, the experiences, talents, and
wisdom accumulated over many life times.  Every experience, no matter how great or
small, along this evolutionary path has influenced your development, and brought you to
your current state of being.
   The Expression is your being; the Life Path is the major lesson you are attempting to
learn this time around.  Time allows the gradual emergence of your personality.  By
reading the Expression number below, you will come to understand your basic nature
and the abilities and issues inherent in your being.

Your Expression is 10/1  
 
   You are a natural leader, independent and individualistic.  Shamir, you are extremely
ambitious, original, and courageous.  You employ new and unproven methods.  You are
an explorer and an innovator.  Openness to too many peripheral influences limits and
frustrates you.  You are self-reliant, confident, and energetic.
   You possess executive abilities and are most successful at owning or independently
managing a business.  You need the freedom to make your own decisions, based on
your own ideas.  You can be an astute politician.  You also possess the ability to
influence the opinions of your milieu.
   The number 1 symbolizes the front-runner, pioneer, warrior, risk-taker, and daredevil.  
Generals, top politicians, successful businessmen, self-made millionaires, religious
leaders, inventors, activists, and avant-garde artists are often born with a 1 Expression.
   Strength and perseverance are central to your success.  You must be willing to travel
the frontiers of life, away from the beaten path.  You possess a great reserve of willpower
that must be directed at your goals.  You do not give up, but relentlessly pursue your
aims.

   Shamir, you are quite opinionated.  People tend to be inspired or repelled by your
strong personality.
   You have great powers of concentration and the ability to visualize your goals, thus
making them more attainable.
   You stand up for your convictions and hold your ground.  All of these abilities enhance
your chances of success in life.
   There is a tendency to be self-centered.  You can be domineering and, in the extreme,
a bully.  You can be highly critical of others, complaining that people lack the industry or
determination you possess.  But this lack of understanding can alienate friends and
family members from you.  You must learn to control this tendency to maintain harmony
in relationships.
   Once you are convinced of the inherent correctness of your ideas, you stubbornly --
and sometimes rigidly -- defend and propagate them.
   Avoid obstinacy and antagonism.  You must cultivate balance, compassion, and
perseverance.
   You easily assume the role of protector.  You spring into action when leadership is
needed.
   Pride can be your downfall.  You so powerfully identify with your goals and ambitions
that you sometimes refuse to see a potential flaw or weakness in your well-laid plans.
   Shamir, you possess strength and determination, which, when applied to any
endeavor you are committed to, will lead you to great success in life.
