Marriage (Fully Committed Relationship) Numerology Meanings

So, after my day off yesterday I am having a hard time focusing on work as it is beautiful outside and the temperature is mild. As I was doing the weekly horoscopes I looked to see if there was a weekly horoscope on thehoroscope.co but their wasn’t. I decided to scroll down the page a little way to see what else this website might have on it. Found out they have numerology stuff also. Below the picture of the numbers 1 through 9 I saw “Marriage Numerology Meaning” since our wedding is just 16 days away (eeks I need to get busy on the flowers…tee hee) I decided to see what our marriage number will be. It is a 7 as I was reading the meaning for this number, I was surprised that it fits us to a T.

I believe these numbers will work for anyone in a committed relationship if you have “pledged” yourself to your partner and they to you.

Here is the link and the information for how to figure it out your marriage number Marriage Numerology Meanings.

If you would like to share your number with us and let us know if it fits the two or more of you and your relationship, please put it in a comment below.

Here is the link and the information for how to figure it out your marriage number Marriage Numerology Meanings.

Let’s discover what the day we are married in has to say about our relationships and the way the marriage will unravel. In order to discover which your marriage numerology is you need to extract a single digit number out of your marriage date.

The marriage date is considered to be the first date when the two of you have said yes (for some cultures this refers to the first ceremony, the one in front of the law in which you are released the marriage certificate). You transform the month in a number, from 1 to 12 (1+2) then add the day (for the two digit days you need to add them separately) then the year unfolds just the same.

For instance, if the marriage date is February 29, 2010 it means: 2+2+9+2+0+1+0=16, 1+6=7. So the marriage number for the above example is 7. Below you will find the meanings for all nine numerology numbers.

When the number of your marriage is 1:

This suggests dynamism, enthusiasm and determination. This relationship gathers two powerful personalities that can deal on their own with everything that goes in their couple. Sometimes one of you would try to take charge but will definitely come to an agreement when the other starts persuading. Number 1 is a number of beginnings therefore shows that this marriage has been built on a heated passion that will in time switch to a mutual agreement to leading a responsible life. 1 is also a number of selfishness but in the case of marriage there is no such thing, both partners are there because they wanted to connect their lives and can behave in a mature and loving way.

When the number of your marriage is 2:

It suggests romance and peace. It is characteristic for two individuals that have decided to stay together and are connected through a strong feeling of belonging. Two is a number of the couple so you will probably discover in time that you match just like puzzle pieces as long as you lean on each other and spend as much time together as possible. However, a number 2 marriage might be under the risk of possessiveness and jealousy if the two of you don’t know how to balance your impulses. It’s also important for you to synchronize your activities or even work in the same domain. This marriage is also based on home comfort and you both have the desire to have a house and a big family.

When the number of your marriage is 3:

This number suggests modernism, exuberance and general success. It defines a couple that is sociable and open to new experiences but also relies on the comfort of each other. 3 is for a relationship that is liberal in movement, decision and thought and might represent quite a hard test for some people. If you manage to understand and be honest with yourself and with your partner it will definitely be a marriage in which both of you can grow and follow your paths. So don’t even think of changing any of your partner’s habits. This is a full of live relationship that can surpass many of life’s troubles. Just as 3 is the number of the 3 wishes this marriage can work if the two of you wish for it to work.

When the number of your marriage is 4:

This is the number of the four elements, of the four seasons and suggests stability and practicality. It defines a relationship that is soon to escalate and become serious. This couple is stable and reliable and usually with little chances to break apart. However, they are prone to frustration and to growing apart because of boredom and of not being able to resist to outer temptations. These two form a stable and safe family but should not forget of the feelings that first united them and just remember to be romantic from time to time. This is a marriage in which the two permanently invest in the base of their relationship and are often more interested in practicalities in life.

When the number of your marriage is 5:

This is a number of romance and entertainment. It suggests a marriage built on passion and common interests. It usually gathers complex personalities with a mind of their own that are in a permanent search for adventure and new experiences. It is a partnership between two creative persons that can help each other grow. These two are stubborn, fiery and quick to argue when things don’t go the way they want them to. On the long run this relationship has quite a risk to be under the influence of change and the two should be able to adapt and compromise in order for things to work out. This is also a number suggesting a big family and frequent challenges in family life.

When the number of your marriage is 6:

This is a powerful number that symbolizes equilibrium, love and good health. It is usually a lucky number and indicates mutual powerful feelings. The two persons involved in this marriage are close friends and life partners above all and usually their love develops from a great friendship relationship. These two know how to work together to raise a family and they rarely grow apart as they usually have the same view on how to live life. This marriage is optimistic, practical and usually build on affection and loyalty. This kind of union usually leaves behind a great legacy.

When the number of your marriage is 7:

(Side Note from LCB: This fits Big Dawg and I like a glove!)

This number suggests great attachment and love and it usually defines a couple that feels best when alone or just surrounded by close friends. These two know how to live their love in a protective far away place. This kind of marriage is above all based on intellectual affinity and cooperation. Both of the partners are aware of the great responsibility they have towards their significant other and they usually make sure to be as much supportive as they can. They might have moment in live when they feel stuck but otherwise, the number 7 couple the partners manage to keep their individuality but also build something new together.

When the number of your marriage is 8:

This number suggests wealth, prosperity and loyalty. This is a marriage that is entirely based on mutual affection and understanding that started as a heated passion. These two have complex personalities and a strong intellectual affinity so they usually have similar occupations or work as a team. This is that kind of relationship in which both partners have the same goals and expectations in life so they rarely argue. What these two need to learn is that sometimes they should be a lot more open to the outer world and not only count on their own powers.

When the number of your marriage is 9:

This is a number suggesting generosity, loyalty and romance. This is a marriage based entire on good communication and management of feelings. These two usually pair up quickly and can’t even remember how life was when they were single. They might come from different backgrounds or even cultures but this will only spice up their relationship. A couple like this won’t meet many outer obstacles but might have some difficulties in understanding and working with the need of freedom of one partner. Each of the partners tries to put the happiness of the other above his but there might be some sacrifices needed to get this goal to completion.

All Signs

We are halfway through this year, so let’s look at where we’ve been and where we’re headed. This can help us make plans. It can also increase our confidence and hopes for the future. What can we expect? Where should we put our focus? We know that meteorology can predict the weather; but astrology is the only discipline I know that can forecast the future primarily because the planets have predictable cycles. But astrology aside, there is one truth that is solid, certain and cannot be ignored and it is that you will never again be as young as you right now. Oh yes. As you read these words, you are the youngest you will ever be. (Some things are hard to lose forever – like youth and toilet paper.)

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You will get richer this year or next depending on if you’re an early Aries or born after April 10. Either way, the wealth is coming! This is timely because meanwhile, in the next few years, you will be letting go of what is no longer relevant in your life — people, places and possessions. It’s time to streamline your world and lighten up! An interesting combo. On one hand, you’re attracting abundance, and on the other hand, you have different fingers. Seriously, on the other hand you’re letting go of the past. You will notice that things that you used to do, which got a certain result – somehow no longer get that result? Something has changed. This will lead to fresh, new beginnings in 2026.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This is a beneficial year for you because for the first time since 2011-2012, lucky Jupiter is in your sign for an entire year. This is a boost to your good fortune! Relationships and encounters with others will work to your advantage. Your self-confidence and poise will increase. This also means you’re beginning a new 12-year cycle of growth where you will discover more deeply who you really are. Meanwhile, one of your challenges will be to learn how to deal with the demands of others (especially based on your recent successes), and at the same time, protect your own world so that you don’t sell out to everyone. You have your own needs! Meanwhile, in 2024-2025, you will get richer! Ka-ching!

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You are now beginning your time of harvest, which will last for the next few years. (This last occurred 1994-95.) This means that you will be able to see what is working in your life and what is not. Don’t dwell on failure. Instead, focus on what is working because this is a time of great achievement for you. You will reap the rewards of everything you have done since 2008-2009. Personally, this year will be more spiritual for you. You will discover more about your inner world and deeper values. By June 2024, lucky Jupiter returns to your sign bringing you good fortune and an opportunity to boost your confidence and poise! Looking swell!

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

This year and next year, you’ll be a more popular — more involved with friends, daily contacts, groups and organizations. Meanwhile, this is also a time of preparation. You need to get performance ready for your time of harvest, which will arrive in 2026-2027. This will be a time when you reap the benefits of the seeds you have sown in the past. Therefore, as part of your preparation for this special time in your future, explore what courses or further training you might get that put you in a better position for when that time arrives. Likewise, grab opportunities to travel to enrich yourself so that you can dazzle others when it really matters.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Because lucky Jupiter is at the top of your chart for the first time since 2012-2013, people see you as successful, affluent and happy. (Next year for later leos.) Obviously, this increased admiration is because you are reaping some success – a promotion, a published book, an award, your own business, a marriage, a first child – something that makes you feel proud. Nevertheless, while you shine in the eyes of others, you are also getting along with less. It might be less from the government. A scholarship might end. You might end a relationship. Something has forced you to stand on your own 2 feet. Both these influences are occurring. Verrrry interesting.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This is a similar time to what occurred around 1994-1995. (Saturn opposite your sign.) This influence can be stressful on partnerships and marriages, which is why relationships that are more trouble than they’re worth will end. All your close relationships will undergo an adjustment; however, most of these relationships will endure and come out stronger in the end. Meanwhile, this year you have marvellous opportunities to travel and expand your world in exciting ways. You might go back to school. You might take courses. You might explore opportunities in publishing, the media or medicine and the law. Next year, your success is obvious. You will shine!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You are in a two to three-year window of hard work. There might be times when you will feel overwhelmed with the demands and responsibilities you have to face; however, do not fear. You will handle this! In fact, by 2026-2027, you will get recognition for busting your buns in the next few years. Fortunately, many of you will become richer and have favours and practical wealth come to you via a third party, your spouse, a business partner, an inheritance or a friend. Possibly you will have the use of something that someone else owns? You definitely will get a financial boost this year or next year. Keep plugging!

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Many of you will have increased responsibilities with children for the next few years. Personally, you might find yourself feeling at loose ends. The thing is, no matter how old you are, you’re wondering what you really want to be when you grow up? What is your calling? How can you find out? In the next few years, these answers will present themselves to you. In the meantime, this is a fabulous year for relationships – professional partnerships and marriages. In fact, it’s the best year in over a decade to get married! (This year or next, depending on if you are an early or late Scorpio.) Fun times ahead!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This is the perfect year to boost your health and become stronger. This is also a wonderful year to improve your job, or how you do things, or get a better job. (These opportunities to improve your job and your health will come later if you are born after December 10 – but they will come!) Meanwhile, in the next several years, you will work to establish your roots. If you continue living where you now reside, you will tackle some basic home repairs and restructuring. Others might change residences. You might also be more involved with a parent than usual. Basically, you want to solidify your home base to feel secure in your future.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Lucky you! This year and next are the perfect time to have fun, take vacations, explore the arts, enjoy enriching times with children and encounter thrilling opportunities in romance and new love. Yes, it’s play city for Capricorns! In fact, children will be a great source of joy to you. However, you are also looking at a two to three-year window where you might change residence, change your job or both. Starting around 2015, you had to give up things and let go of what was no longer relevant in your life. By 2018, you set off on a new journey and now you are testing the waters. You know that you want to feel secure about where you are living by 2026. And you will.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

This is a wonderful year for home and family. In fact, some of you will expand your family through birth, adoption or marriage. Family members will get along better with each other and they will be more generous to each other. By extension, you might also improve your home or expand it through renovations. Some of you might even move to something that you like better. This benefit to your private life will last this year (or next year, if you were born after Feb. 10.) Meanwhile, you are taking a more serious view about cash flow, earnings and your assets. At a deeper level, you’re also wondering about your values and what really matters in life? “These are serious times for the Federation.”

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

This is a significant year for you because Saturn is back in your sign for the first time since 1994-1995. This means it’s the beginning of a new 30-year cycle for you. Serious stuff! And yet, you’re laughing. That’s because lucky Jupiter is going through your House of Communications boosting your sense of optimism and pleasure in your everyday world. In a word – you’re happy! You’re content. In fact, next year (or 2025 for those born after March 10) will be a time when you really enjoy where you’re living because you will move to something better or be happier with your home life. (It could expand through marriage, birth or adoption.) The more the merrier!

Moon Alert

After 4 AM EDT today (1 AM PDT) there are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions. The Moon is in Capricorn.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

This is a productive day for you if you don’t get sidetracked with your kids, money issues (especially extravagance) and difficulties with romantic partners. These are touchy issues. Nevertheless, you’re actually focused and raring to go.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This week you’re involved with financial deals and cash flow. (There’s something cooking on the back burner.) Possibly, this relates to redecorating or renovating projects? You have strong ideas now about what you want to accomplish and you’re thinking big!

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

It’s all about you dear Gemini because the Sun is in your sign, which is energizing and empowering. This means you can use your clever verbal skills to avoid arguments with daily contacts, siblings and relatives, especially if they stand in the way of your behind-the-scenes plans.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You prefer to be low-key by working alone or behind the scenes this week. However, very likely, you will get drawn into a power struggle about money, possessions or how you use the resources of someone else or how you respond to the request. It’s tricky. (But so are you.)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

This is a popular week for you – no question. Nevertheless, it begins with fair Venus and Mars in your sign opposing big daddy Pluto, which could indicate a power struggle. Some aspect of this power struggle might even be public. Or it could involve your successful reputation. (Curious.)

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You have the upper hand this week because the Sun is at the top of your chart casting you in a flattering spotlight. This means no matter what happens, you look pretty good in the eyes of others. (This is handy because something going on behind the scenes might challenge your work or your health.)

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Small wonder if you have a strong desire to “get away from it all” today. It appears that difficulties with friends or groups, and financial resources, (possibly even related to your kids) are going to create a few problems this week. Time to get outta Dodge.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Today, tomorrow and especially on Wednesday, you will need to be tactful and diplomatic because you will encounter power struggles with bosses, partners, friends and family members. With your steely self-discipline, focus and skill, you can weave through this unscathed. It’s who you are.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

The easiest way to survive the first half of this week (actually, maybe all of it) is to avoid controversial subjects, especially related to politics, religion or racial issues. Keep a low profile. No need to stand on your soapbox. These difficulties could impact your work and even your health. Stay cool.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Disputes about shared property, earnings, cash flow and how money is spent on children, vacations and social outings are just some examples of challenges that you might encounter today and in the next few days. You can’t avoid these challenges — but who better then you can demonstrate grace under pressure.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Avoid power struggles with partners and close friends today. Likewise, don’t involve family as well, because things will turn into a circus. (You don’t need this.) Fortunately, you’re in a playful, upbeat frame of mind, and you want to have a good time! Go with what works.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Be patient with work colleagues today, and later this week, because you’ll be glad you did. (After all, you have to see these people next week as well.) Instead, swing your focus to home, family and your private life. You might even hide.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Musician Kenny G (1956) shares your birthday today. Because you’re multitalented and try to do everything — learn to pace yourself. Take time off. This is the perfect year to take inventory of your life. You might have let go of people, places and things that have held you back. Do some internal and external housecleaning.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

It seems that you are starting this week with your mind all wondering over your love affairs. There might not be anything troubling you or in fact you might have many reasons to rejoice.

The whole point is that you will probably find it hard to focus. Maybe it’s not the best time to take any important decisions and you should hold this, waiting for better times.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Maybe its time for you to listen to someone in your family that has been talking to you about a certain subject for some time now.

You should finally succumb to his or her insistence and see whether their plan is as bad as you thought it was. You might be surprised how the opinion of another person will shed some light on your own troubles.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You should be warned that at this beginning of the week you will be quite convincing and this means you should start talking to people about your plans and endeavors.

You will definitely have all the resources at hand to convince them of the benefits. However, you should be careful not to cross the line between convincing and manipulating.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

This beginning of the week comes with some material gain opportunities for you. This means that you will benefit from unexpected resources coming from certain areas of your activity.

You should be using this influx to establish other contacts and invest in your activities. However, you should take some time to think everything through before signing any new contracts.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You should take advantage of this popularity you will be experiencing this beginning of the week. People will look up to you and search your company.

Be the model they are expecting you to be and don’t hesitate from leading them in the right areas. However, this also triggers the risk of you taking some rash decisions for yourself.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This Monday will be a great occasion for you to participate to some sort of official reunion. In most cases, it will be something that refers to your professional life.

Keep your eyes wide open and your mind even wider because you will be able to seize some unexpected opportunities. It is also a great moment to make sentimental partnerships official.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

It seems that you will have a lot more luck today than you’ve previously experienced on a Monday. This is a great time for you to show what you are able to do, especially at work.

It’s also a good moment to impose authority in front of those in your team and to argument logically why your decisions should be followed. These activities will be later rewarded.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

This Monday is going to be an auspicious day for all natives who are ready to make bold investments. This observation does not refer only to professional actions but also to personal endeavors.

This means that not only will you be able to complete good contracts at work but also make official a sentimental partnership. Other than that, a calm day ahead.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This Monday there are great chances for you to be all melancholic in regard of places you’ve been. Your mind will be wondering for the whole day thus making it kind of difficult for you to focus on work.

The luckiest natives are those who are on vacation right now. Dwell in your memories as long as it doesn’t make you postpone any real plans.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

It seems that you are not going to start this week in the best of shape as your health might be troubling you. Make sure there is nothing serious and try to maintain a healthy diet.

If there are worse symptoms maybe it would be time for you to go for a consult with a medical professional. Keep positive and avoid any unnecessary stress.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

This beginning of the week will teach you an important lesson. It seems that you need to take big risks to advance and you might be forced to make some quick decisions or invest a large amount of money.

Don’t be stubborn and evaluate every opinion that comes your way. You might find unexpected information from someone you never thought of.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

It is going to be quite a calm beginning of the week with little changes to be announced. All you can do is stick to your plans and embrace any change with peace of mind.

You will probably have some spare time for fun and games in the afternoon so don’t avoid it. It’s a good time to be spent with children of your own or from your family.

Gods – Overview The Olympian Gods and Goddesses

There will be a more detailed post for each god and goddess in the upcoming weeks.

The Olympian Gods and Goddesses, Main Greek Gods and Goddesses

The Olympian gods or Olympians are younger gods who got the name after their mythical place Mount Olympus. They had gained rank as the rulers of the world after dethroning the elder gods, known also as the Titans, in a ten-year war called Titanomachy. The Olympians, as they called themselves, were the main gods of Ancient Greece and were representing civilization of the world.

The first generation Olympians were descendants of a titan couple Cronus and Rhea. Together they gave birth to six children, three sons and three daughters. The sons were Poseidon, Hades, Zeus and daughters Hera, Hestia and Demeter. Zeus, Poseidon, Hera and Demeter are always considered as Olympian gods while Hestia and Hades are only included at some point of their existence. Hades was supposed to live on Mount Olympus and had every honour and right to but was given the realm of death under his control, when the three brothers had to split the cosmos after the victory over titans. And Hestia lived there just for a short period. After being granted a place on Mount Olympus by Zeus she eventually, because of her modesty, gave away her place to keep peace among gods because there were only twelve places on Mount Olympus, and the desire for these was huge among gods. The second generation Olympians were Athena, Ares, Hermes, Dionysus, Apollo, Artemis and Hephaestus. Aphrodite is also sometimes considered as the second generation goddess but is in general referred to be from the titans generation. Anyway, all of these gods are referred as Olympian gods and together they presided over every aspect of human life.
