Kofi Annan
7th Secretary-General of the United Nations (1938-2018)
The numbers
3 + 3 = 6
Lo Shu grid
Missing: 2, 5, 7. Present digits repeat to show how many times they occur.
Life path 6 (master 33) — The Master Teacher
Thirty-three is the rarest of the master numbers and the least agreed upon — many practitioners do not use it at all. Where it is used, it is read as the care of 6 raised to instruction: lifting people by teaching rather than by carrying. Its named risk is the same as 6’s, one size larger.
Complete lines
Line of Action
The 8-1-6 row complete. Read as follow-through — the traditional marker of someone whose plans reliably become events.
Responsibility
A complete line in the grid.
Organisation
A complete line in the grid.
What is missing
Missing 2
Read as bluntness: reaching the conclusion without the intermediate handling. The tradition frames this as a timing gap rather than a lack of feeling.
Missing 5
The centre of the grid, so its absence is weighted heavily. Read as difficulty adapting mid-course — a preference for the plan already chosen over the plan now indicated.
Missing 7
Read as reluctance to sit with an unresolved question. Associated with wanting the working answer rather than the true one.
Vedic — Ank Jyotish
Moolank 8 comes from the day of the month alone; Bhagyank 6 from the whole date. They differ, which is the ordinary case — the two numbers answer different questions.
Shani
Saturn. Labour, delay, consequence. Feared in popular practice more than any other, and read as the graha that makes people earn things.
Bhagyank uses the same arithmetic as the Western life path, so the two will always agree. That is not two traditions confirming each other — it is one calculation under two names.
In their words
"The world is not ours to keep. We hold it in trust for future generations.
You can do a lot with diplomacy, but with diplomacy backed up by force you can get a lot more done.
We may have different religions, different languages, different colored skin, but we all belong to one human race.
Eradication of extreme poverty has been identified as a priority, and specific targets have been set for prescribed measures. Many said the potential benefits of globalization are understood but people have yet to feel them. It is agreed that part of the solution lies in sovereign States giving priority to the needs of their people, especially the poorest. States, however, must work with the private sector and civil society to solve the problems of globalization. A more equitable world economy has been called for, one where those who have more do more for those who have less.
He is very calm—very, very calm. Never raises his voice. Well-informed, contrary to the sense outside that he is ill-informed and isolated. And decisive.
Unless the Security Council is restored to its pre-eminent position as the sole source of legitimacy on the use of force, we are on a dangerous path to anarchy.
