The second purpose is handy for planning future events such as Kate and Wills' proposed wedding. They are planning to marry on the 29th April, 2011. So we can use their event as an example for finding numbers and Tarot cards that depict marriage. It can also be used to validate the use of Personal Month Diamonds. These diamonds are introduced in my Decade Diamonds book. Ideally, their Yearly Diamonds, introduced in my Yearly Diamonds book, would be calculated first to see if the possibility of a wedding is likely at some point during the year. I have chosen to use their Universal Yearly Diamonds for the following.

Only salient features are pointed out in the following.

Kate and Wills' Universal Yearly Diamonds

As both Kate and Wills are always the same age on the 1st of January, their Universal Yearly Diamonds are always the same, so there is no need to calculate one for Kate and one for Wills. It is clear in their diamond for this year that a marriage could take place because the right numbers we would expect to see in it to depict such an event are definitely there. For example, number 5 links to the Hierophant Tarot card. This is significant for two reasons; The Hierophant can depict marriage and there are many 5's (or Hierophants) holding vital positions in their Universal Yearly Diamond.

Another number that depicts marriage is 41 and there are many (the 5's actually stem from their reductions eg, 4+1=5).

To find three 43s, the 3 of Cups, in their diamond and two in the actual cycle when the wedding is planned, is a wonderful sign to see for verification. They depict, happiness and joy, fun, laughter, celebrations, entertainment, pomp and ceremony; all things that weddings entail except that this one will be on a GRAND SCALE! 22 rules their Grail and there are two more in the diamond; 22 can indicate something on a great scale or of far-reaching proportions.

This is no ordinary wedding day. Therefore, the couple need numbers to give them the strength - spiritual, mental, emotional and physical to cope with its extraordinary demands. And, they have them! One is their diamond's heart number. It's an 8 and 8 links to the Strength card in the Tarot. Being at the heart of the diamond, it imbues all numbers in the diamond with its influence so there's a good amount of strength to pull on. 70, holding their Top Cycle Ruler position, fortifies 8. Both Kate and Wills will need it on their big day because 70 gives them the inner strength, an inner stabilising force, that they can utilise to remain steadfast throughout all that they have to endure on their special day. 70, as the 2 of Pentacles, helps us to envisage the tumult and chaos they will have to navigate without losing their 'centre' - they may be trembling on the inner yet appear calm on the outer.

The couple also have the number for a turning-point and taking a new path in their lives; something that will occur after the wedding when they 'set up house' together. There are three 48s in the diamond with two in the current cycle which is a good indicator that the change will likely occur during its period. 48 links to the 8 of Cups Tarot card and it depicts a figure in a red cloak leaving old people, things and the past behind - always with some sentimental value attached yet the 'sacrifice' seems worth the 'letting go'.

Finally, perhaps the numbers we most want to see in their diamond are 6, The Lovers card, and 42, the 2 of Cups card; they both signify love, romance, marriage and union. They hold prominent positions in the year's numbers. As you can see, it is very important to check out the year's numbers before setting up a month's numbers because they should bear each other out.

Kate and Wills' Personal Month Diamonds for April

Kate and Will's do not have the same Personal Month Diamonds even though they have the same Universal Yearly Diamonds, each year. This is due to their Personal Year Numbers being different; Kate's is 5 and Will's is 4.

Will's Personal Month Numbers contain more 43s than in his Universal Yearly Diamond. They tell us that he will experience a month of great celebration and joy. This is an excellent sign to see in view of his forthcoming marriage. 44s aren't as prolific but hold powerful positions. I'm singling them out as I feel that they signify a 'proposal' and his wedding epitomises that. 20s are there for making a serious decision that usually has long-term effects. 63s depict 'wedding jitters' and sleepless nights. The 3rd week in April seems to be the worst for this where there are two. Six 48s reinforce that this is the month when a new path is embarked upon and the old one left behind; two are actually in the active cycle when he marries. There is no doubt that Wills' is daunted by what his marriage means judging by the brevity of his numbers for the week when he says "I do".

Kate's numbers are very different to Will's. 49s literally dominate April's diamond which is really lovely to see. They link to the wish card in Tarot; it's the 9 of Cups. Does it signify that Kate is likely to realise her dearest wish at long last? That's nice for her. But there's something else about Kate's 49s that make them very special; I have found in my research that 49, as a number in its own right, often signifies a male - in this case her future husband and to think that her diamond contains several! 9 as the heart number and another four are signifying something of huge proportions besides romance and sex, they are signifying an end to her life as a 'commoner'. Kate also has 18 (also reduces to a 9) and 55 in her diamond that signify the possibility of a life-changing event during the month.

It's interesting to see 38 holding the commanding position of the Wheel Ruler in this diamond. What makes it interesting is its link to the media. Kate has three 9s situated on April's Vertical Axis. This combination of Wheel 38 and several 9s indicates global, media coverage of the wedding as it is beamed around the world and we watch Kate's transformation from commoner to high royalty.

This concludes a brief synopsis of Kate and Wills' diamonds or personal maps for 2011 and April. I think that their current maps beautifully depict this most important event for them both.

In my last lesson, I thought I might be writing more on 2011's significance numerology-wise but I suddenly realised I should be investigating Kate and Will's numbers as their wedding is looming fast.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on their numbers for this occasion or just something personal to you'd like to share with other readers. Please don't be shy - use the comments box.

For the next lesson, we shall be taking advantage of Kate and Wills' wedding day's date, time and Universal Day Diamond. Their Personal Day Diamonds (or maps) for the day of their wedding and their Personal Hour Diamonds for the time of their wedding will be discussed in conjunction with the Universal Day's Diamond. They are really exciting and I love the way they depict the event. They even  hint that something might go wrong. (These types of diamonds, or maps, are introduced in my Decade Diamonds book.)

Until next time,

In Love and Light,
