To find out your own mission in the Year of 2008

Calculate your personal brithday using this formula to help you to find out your personal clue as to what lies ahead in the year of 2008.

This formula
First, reduce the month and day of your birth, your birthday, to a single digit. For example, Amy’s birthday is February 8th, that single digit would be 1 (2+8=10; 1+0=1). Next, reduce the year for which you are making the calculation to a single digit. The year 2008 would become 1.
Third, add the single digit representing your birthday to the single digit representing the year in question. Thus, 2008 is a 1+1=2 personal mission for Amy.
Now, calculate your personal mission and see the likely trend of events for the year of 2008:

(A)Your Personal mission at the number 1. . . .A New Beginning In Your Life
The year of 2008 holds the promise of being an exciting new adventure for you, with life taking on new challenges that pave the way in your life. This is a time to clarify your goals and it is a time to act on them. Hard work may be necessary to get a new venture moving. Your physical strength will be up during this year, perhaps higher than it has been for some time, as you have some special needs for this extra energy. If you are unable or unwilling to answer the call to change and make the move in your life now, your prospects may be delayed until the next nine years. Because of this, you feel like an adventure, a major change in your life, something new. New goals should be clearly set and worked toward, as this is really a new beginning for you and it is best not to dwell on the past at this time. This will be fairly easy for you to do because most of the problems and disappointments of the past will tend to disappear, leaving the way open for these new challenges. This is a great time; use it to its full advantage.
(B)Your Personal mission at the number 2. . . .Development, cooperation, and waiting
The year of 2008 is a wait and see time for you. This is not a time for you to force the issue and try to move forward. You will find yourself very much in a stage of development. It is a time for cooperation and building relationships that will benefit you in the future; a year for accumulating and collecting. Aggressiveness will cause problems now. You must be prepared and patient for delays, detours, stoppages in 2008. This is a time of small contribution, of helping, and details must be taken care of when they come up. If you have chiefly worked alone in the past, it can be a time to test your self-control and emotional sensitivities. You may experience a degree of nervous tension and it brings a tendency to emotional extremes including depression during this year. Keep calm, cool, and pleasant. On the other hand, your Mr./Ms. Right may show up and the relationship can be deep with this person and a deepening feeling may occur to marry this year.
(C)Your Personal mission at the number 3. . . .Social expansion & creative successes
The year of 2008 is a social, happy year for you. It generally tends to exude bright and cheerful vibrations. This is a year you can check up on old friends and broaden your social life to meet some new ones. Romance and love affairs may bloom. You can safely take some time off to enjoy yourself, but resist the temptation to completely give in to having a good time; keep your goals in mind. It is a good time for you to expand personal creative talents, particularly those related to the arts and verbal skills. While this can be a happy year for you, it may be a disastrous year on the business scene. A generally frivolous attitude in that environment can cause rash decisions and impractical, unfinished schemes. This is not likely to be a very good year for your finances. (D)Your Personal mission at the number 4. . . .Hard work and slow, but steady progress
The year of 2008 is a year of hard work and effort when you must knuckle down to the task at hand. A year of digging in and hoeing, a reestablishment of self-control. It is a frustrating year in many ways when your considerable effort fails to produce dramatic results. One step forward and two back may seem to be the case most of the time. You may look at your current and past performance to get organized and bring yourself down to earth. Responsibilities will increase, magnifying the effort and hard work needed to maintain a reasonable level of existence. Health and diet should be carefully scrutinized this year, as physical resistance is low and you may become more susceptible to ailments. A tidying up of affairs is now in order, as you must make ready for a very hectic year ahead.
(E)Your Personal mission at the number 5. . . . Feeling Loose and Free
The year of 2008 is a year of major change in your life. Horizons are expanded and growth is less impeded. This is a year that will bring more excitement and adventure than you have experienced in recent years. A time for you to feel loose and free; to move away from old routines; to seek out new directions. Your problem is the tendency to scatter energies in all directions and your ability to do detail work may be limited. In all, this a free-wheeling year that is liable to bring major changes to your life; your career, your family situation, your residence. (F)Your Personal mission at the number 6. . . . Love, Family, Home and Responsibility
The year of 2008 is a year to make some adjustments in your life. This is not really a year for major accomplishments, but rather a time to handle those adjustments to your plans that may be necessary or required, and for finishing projects started earlier. New endeavors will be so slow throughout this year. You tend to bring on increasing responsibilities and a deepening concern for family, loved ones, and close friends, however, your emotional interchange with those who are close to you should be at its best during this year. The important thing for you is to be willing to accept a slower pace and be sure to enjoy the peace and harmony.
(G)Your Personal mission at the number 7. . . . a time for analysis and understanding
The year of 2008 is a time to be a very introspective year. This year should provide you with some time for gaining understanding eof yourself. It will be good for you to spend time alone or in quiet activities, as free from outside responsibilities as possible. You should try to get away from business pressures. At the same time, this is a good time to plan, to wait, and to develop for the future and not a time to have action. One of the most profitable activities for you is that of study and writing and of thinking and analyzing now. Your capacity for research and understanding is at its very best. It would not be unusual for you to take on an appearance of coolness and detachment during this year. Certainly, it is the best for you to focus on your skills and refine them.
(H)Your Personal mission at the number 8. . . . Attainment and capital gains
The year of 2008 is your power year to make big decisions and major achievements in you life. Opportunities for advancement and recognition for the current work is likely to come about during this year. You may start feeling some stirrings of ambitions and find yourself very much involved and occupied with these things. Others will tend to be receptive to your leadership and control because your power and status potential is at a peak in 2008. Activity is your keynote and you should take advantage and act this year and it will be easy for you to branch out and expand in a businesslike manner.
(I)Your Personal mission at the number 9. . . . Reflection and Reaching Out
The year of 2008 is the time of completions and endings for you. This should be a time to involve more with others and you may also become aware of a lure to commune with nature. You may bring to completion a lot of things that you have been working for during this year.
