There is living and then there is feeling alive!

Calculating your soul number can help you get back in touch
with what really moves you in your life, your reason for being
and what gives you true fulfillment.

If you are depressed or seem to be going in the wrong
direction in life, the calculation of the soul number can
remind you what puts a lift in your step and the sparkle
back in your eyes.

Your Soul Number, which defines your very essence or
heart's desire, is calculated using the vowels in the
name that appeared on your birth certificate.

First of all, eliminate all the consonants from your birth
name by adding together the numerical equivalents displayed
on the chart below.

          A   1
          E   5
          I   9
          O   6
          U   3

For amusement's sake let's take the example of Paris Hilton
as this week's  case study.

A person who seems very materialistic and a little shallow;
in other words it is difficult to see what her real heart's
desire might be on the surface.

Paris' full birth name is Paris Whitney Hilton. After we
eliminate all the consonants from her name we end up with:

AI  IE IO

We then would refer to the above chart and add the numerical
equivilents  of the vowels in her name togther as in:


1+9 + 9+5 + 9+6 = 39

Adding 3 + 9 gives us 12. Adding 1 + 2 gives us 3.

So Paris Hilton's soul number is a 3.

There are no surprises here. Paris Hilton's soul urge is to
delight and amuse others.  Threes are the performers and
entertainers of the numerology system and one mark of a three
is that they will always crave fame. Three is definitely the
number of the showoff, which is fully displayed by her love
of outrageous clothing.

The fact that she is a three also explains why Hllton, who
does not need to work for a living, spends so much of her
time modeling, acting and making personal appearances. This
call to greater things can make her quite inflexible
emotionally. All of her energy would be channeled into career
and travel as opposed to putting down roots anywhere.

The romantic life of a three is often marked by very rocky
phases. It is difficult for others to understand the three's
need to find approval outside the sphere of a relationship.
This is because mass approval often means more to them than
an individual intimacy.

In love three is the number of separation and people with a
soul urge number three may often find something coming
between them and love. Usually this issue is career or travel
but many threes find themselves being the odd man out in a
love triangle.

Because of their mercurial natures threes often always find
themselves in a series of relationships and rarely find stay
put in one relationship for life. In the case of Hilton's
most recent relationship with another Paris, it seems that
her scandalous reputation was the element that came between
her and the approval of his billionaire parents.
