Get Lucky!

"Luck" is what happens when someone wins the lotto. Against several million to one odds, the six numbers drawn match the six on the winning man's ticket. Or the little old lady pulls the "one-armed bandit", and bells ring and lights light up as she "hits the big one".

There was once a time when one's values, work ethic and determination went a long way in explaining success. Horatio Algerism meant that a well-dressed, hard-working, likable person could write his or her own ticket--climb the corporate ladder, live in a big house in a nice neighborhood, drive a fancy car, and vacation with the family once or twice per year.

But today that's not enough. There's something else--some other factor that separates the ones just getting by (in spite of their hard work, etc.) from those who appear to be living the American Dream. When you try to analyze it, it seems to be, well, luck.

Sure, one can do okay by doing "all the right things." But today, you don't necessarily get the white picket fence just for performing up to your bosses expectations, and running a profitable business. No, today we seem to also need something intangible, some break, some uniqueness. We need luck.

By definition, luck is completely out of our control. I believe, however, that there are certain things we can do to position ourselves for it. Earl Nightingale defines success as "when preparedness meets opportunity." Here are a few ways to "prepare" ourselves for the "opportunity":

Work hard. In the words of Chuck Berry, "The harder you work, the luckier you get." While hard work alone does not guarantee meeting Lady luck, people who work long enough and hard enough at their goals tend to be lucky.

Be couragious during the storm. As elusive as good luck seems to be, bad luck seems to happen so naturally. While you can't escape it, how you weather it will have an effect on the kind of luck that follows.

Be positive and optimistic. Being positive helps get you through the bad luck, and also positions you for lucky opportunities to flow your way.

Do what you love. Passion seems to be a conduit for luck. When you have discovered what you love, and focus your energy in that area, you are well-positioned for luck to occur.

So go out, get positioned, and get lucky!

Lucky Charms and Numerology; your personal Magic Square Talisman

Long believed to possess great magical properties in India and the far east; numerological Yantras are Magic Squares attuned to an individual by using the numbers of their date of birth to construct the square. Yantra Magic Squares can be used for divination, to bring good luck to the bearer, ward off harm and ill luck, and to draw love and prosperity to you like a magnet. They are relatively simple to make, can be drawn or printed on paper, inscribed on metal, or carved in wood or stone.

In general, Magic squares are any regular grid of numbers; (3 x 3), (4 x 4), etc. where each box of the grid contains an integer number, and all of the rows, columns, and diagonals add up to the same total. Several famous western occultist created and worked with Magic squares: Agrippa, John Dee, Abramelen, and the Golden Dawn just to name a few. Even Benjamin Franklin had a passion for constructing magic squares.

===> Yantra Magic Squares

The only book I've seen that describes them in detail is "Talisman Magic, Yantra Squares for Tantric Divination" by Richard Webster (Llewellin Publications, St. Paul, Minnesota, 1995). It's currently out of print, but you can find it out there. The book provides a formula for constructing a (4 x 4) magic using your birthday numbers, and your Life Path from numerology. Let's look at an example to see how they are made.

===> Johnny Depp's Magic Square

Johnny Depp was born on June 9th, 1963. His Life Path of (7) is calculated as follows:

6 9 1963 = (1978) = 1 9 7 8 = (25) = 2 5 = (7).

The top row of his Yantra Magic square if filled in from left to right with the Month, Day, Year (without the century), and his Life Path as follows:

( 6 ) ( 9 ) ( 63 ) ( 7 )

This row sums up to (85), so we fill out the Magic square with numbers such that all of the rows, columns, and diagonals add up to (85) giving us the following result.

( 6 ) ( 9 ) ( 63 ) ( 7 )
( 61 ) ( 9 ) ( 4 ) ( 11 )
( 8 ) ( 64 ) ( 8 ) ( 5 )
( 10 ) ( 3 ) ( 10 ) ( 62 )

===> Summation

Using some very simple techniques and materials, anyone can make a potent talisman to attract money, good fortune, and help you reach your life goals; all through the power of numerology.

As a Gemini, you probably know your basic Horoscope for the year, but did you know there are six days of every month that are lucky for you, just because of your sun sign? Just what are your lucky Gemini days?

===> Your Birth Date

In Numerology, birth dates are always lucky days for you. So, in addition to the dates below, add your birth date. For example, actress Angelina Jolie was born on June 4th, 1975, so she would add June 4th to the lucky days list.

===> Universal Days

Days in which the Universal day number matches your Life Path number are especially lucky for you. The universe tends to flow in your direction on these days. Your Life Path number is calculated by adding together all the digits of your date of birth by fadic addition. Angelina Jolie's Life Path number is a (5) as shown below:

Life Path number = (06 04 1975) = (1985) = (1 9 8 5) = (23) = (5).

Universal Day (07/07/2007) = (7 7 2007) = (2021) = (5)
