The numbers
4 + 0 = 4
Lo Shu grid
Missing: 3, 5, 6. Present digits repeat to show how many times they occur.
Life path 4 — The Builder
Four is the square, the table, the four walls. The tradition gives it method, endurance and an appetite for the unglamorous middle of a project where everyone else has lost interest. It is read as the most trustworthy number and the least celebrated one. Its tension is rigidity — a system built carefully enough becomes hard to change, and 4 is described as defending the structure after the structure has stopped serving the purpose.
Complete lines
Line of Reason
A complete line in the grid.
Line of Ambition
The 7-8-9 column complete. Read as drive that has both the wish and the machinery — the traditional marker of someone who converts intention into position.
Cooperation
A complete line in the grid.
Organisation
A complete line in the grid.
Repeated numbers
4 appears 3 times
Concentrated method. Read as endurance that can become entrenchment.
What is missing
Missing 3
Read as difficulty getting the inner picture out — the thought is complete, the expression lags. Often described in people whose written voice is far stronger than their spoken one.
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 6
Read as a complicated relationship with obligation — either avoiding it or over-shouldering it, rarely a settled middle.
Vedic — Ank Jyotish
Moolank 9 comes from the day of the month alone; Bhagyank 4 from the whole date. They differ, which is the ordinary case — the two numbers answer different questions.
Mangal
Mars. Force, conflict, courage, blood. Read as energy that must be aimed at something.
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
Perfect as is the wing of a bird, it never could raise the bird up without resting on air. Facts are the air of a scientist. Without them you never can fly. Without them your "theories" are vain efforts.
The Sun-Paul must consider only one thing: what is the relation of this or that external reaction of the animal to the phenomena of the external world?
Mankind will possess incalculable advantages and extraordinary control over human behavior when the scientific investigator will be able to subject his fellow men to the same external analysis he would employ for any natural object, and when the human mind will contemplate itself not from within but from without.
Learn the ABC of science before you try to ascend to its summit.
Learn, compare, collect the facts!
I was, I am and will remain the Russian, the son of the Motherland. Her life first of all I will be interested in. I will live with her interests. With her's dignity I will strengthen mine.
