Yet another year goes by, time sure flies; but which way it flies may well determine ones fortunes.

Brexit caused anxiety around the globe while back-home, nobody was spared from the woes of demonetisation.
A question on most minds is how does 2017 look like, as per Numerology, do the Numbers add up well?
Let’s take a peek.

In our New-Year story last year we had said 2016=9, Mars that is fiery Red, so shall be one of the hottest years. The global heat record had been broken & each month was the hottest recorded month in history!
Red was our pick for the No 9 year of fiery-red Mars, West Indies Cricket team (Red) picked up 3 World Cups! The Euro Cup was picked by Portugal who sported red, stumping favourite France.
Chile (Red) defeated Argentina to win the Copa America Trophy!

Djokovic, sporting red, beat Andy Murray to script history by winning his maiden French Open and becoming the first player since 1969 to hold all four grand slams.

In fact, Trump’s party, Republicans are represented by red again stunned one & all.

In the No 9 year, No 9, Salman was predicted to have a fab 51st (6) in 2016 (9) as 3,6,9 are a. Family. Sultan that released on 6th was a Blockbuster while Sallu was absolved of both his major cases too!

No 9, Akshay (predicted to have a good year) gave Airlift & Rustom.
No 9, Sonam A Kapoor too delivered her biggest hit, Neerja.
While Dipa Karmakar a No 9 made headlines, another No 9, Vijay Mallya got Airlifted from India this year.

Our client, Mukesh Ambani (Aries ruler-9, Mars) gave Jio that adds to 9, spelling was okayed by us,  while Reliance gave their highest dividend since 8 years.

Scorpions were tipped to do well too as 9, Mars is Scorpio ruler.
Virat Kohli, a Scorpion had a dream year too!

We said it could be an explosive year, India was on the Media world-map as we retaliated with Surgical strikes on Pak.

2017 gives us 1, Sun that’s fiery hot again so we may not get respite from the heat for one more year till 2018 that adds to 2, Moon, colder & calmer.

2017=10, the meaning of No 10 in Numerology is-
‘It denotes a wheel of fortune that’s not stable denoting success & failure, rise & fall, ones name will be known for good or evil’.
10 has two numerals, 1, Sun (Hero) & the other 0 (zero).

The earlier crop of footballers (Pele, Platini, Baggio, Maradona, Zidane)  sporting jersey No 10 did very well compared to the recent ones (John Carew, Hugo Viana, Jose Reyes, William Gallas) who didn’t
quite live up to their Number 10 fame.

The world economy could be turbulent with the stock indices swinging crazily both ways.

India: why times will be trying!

The tough times for India post notebandi may continue till next August 2018 as we are about to enter our 71st year of Independence.

71=8, Saturn (Shani) the strict Lord of trials. In fact it was 8th Nov, a No 8 date when our PM made the announcement at 8 pm!

But after taking trials, Saturn can compensate well too; our 72nd year shall be far better, can even be a landmark year as 3,6,9 are a family & India adds to 3, Bharat, 6.

Yellow, gold, brown & orange would be the best shades in the year of Sun.

Sun is the creative force that gives light & life. Creative industries like Bollywood would do better than the past year that wasn’t so ‘filmy’.

Consultancy or ‘service’ providing industries (Banking) could shine, as well as manufacturing. & advanced inventions, IT, software & technology.

Reliance honcho, Mukesh Ambani (19/04) is a No 1 too who would continue to be in the news.

The Sun is the creative force, which is so powerful that it gives us Light and Life to the universe, so radiant that we can hardly see any other planet or star, when the Sun is in its element.

Like the Sun, No 1 persons usually like to lead from the front, and do better in positions of authority over others.

Those in authoritative positions, like Company promoters, Team-Leaders, Politicians & bureaucrats could have a field year.

Advanced inventions, solar energy, technology, IT, Start-ups, Computer & electronics could do well.

Sun comes out early morning but catches heat only later in the day.  Likewise, No 1’s too can do well in latter part if they haven’t scored well in the beginning.
This can lead us to assume that the second half of 2017 could be more productive for the world economy than the first.

Sunny side of Sun-

The richest Indians are amongst Mukesh Ambani, (19/04) Dilip Shanghvi {1/10/1956} who adds to No 1 by his name too as well as his DOB while the richest in the World, Carlos Slim Helu {28/1}, is also a no 1 who overtook another no 1, Bill Gates {28/10}, Dhirubhai Ambani, Ratan Tata {both 28/12} Indira Gandhi, Miss Universe, Sushmita Sen, No 1 Sex Icon of her time, Zeenat Aman, No 1 wrestler, Dara Singh, {all four, 19/11} Rekha, {10/10} Lata Mangeshkar, {28/09} Aishwarya Rai, {01/11} Sunil Gavaskar, {10/07} Hrithik Roshan, {10/01}, No 1 Dance Guru, Shiamak Davar {19/10}, Number 1 Chef, Sanjeev Kapoor {10/04} are amongst some Number 1 people who have shone in their fields. In fact, Osama Bin Laden was born on 10/03 too!

The first to win an individual Olympics Gold, Abhinav Bindra {28/09} is a No 1 as well.

1,2,4 & 7 being a family, those born with such Numbers (1st, 10th, 19th, 28th; 2nd, 11th, 20th, 29th; 4th, 13th, 22nd, 7th, 16th & 25th in any month) could have a field year.
Leo’s can shine too as Leo Ruler is No 1, Sun.
Cancerians & Taurus born are governed by No 2, Moon & can also expect a bumper year.

And all whose current age is same as their birth Number; like if you are born on the 1st, 10th, 19th or 28th in any month then all years adding to 1 could be eventful, like your 19th, 28th, 37th, 46th, 55th, 64th, 73rd years.

Now let us further analyze individually how the New Year could fare for those born on each Number, 1 to 9.

Number 1:

People born on the 1st, 10th, 19th and 28th in any month are termed as Number 1 people, ruled by the Sun.

2017 gives us 1, your primary Number, so you could look forward for more opportunities than the year gone by.
But you need to capitalise & choose the better ones; sealing a deal isn’t more difficult & sometimes prudent than letting one go by.
Those willing to tie the knot or a job change should keep their eyes & ears glued.

The second half could bring more promises than the first.

Finances should look up, but the challenge will be to hold on to what you make; keep one eye on savings, especially long term ones.

In fact one good year can take one ahead by a few years too.
Those in position of authority will have to fulfil expectations of juniors who shall look upon you for a boost; try not to disappointment them.
Remember, with more power comes more responsibilities.

Health Tip- Draw a line between over-activity & in-activity.

Examples of some famous No. 1’s:

Dhirubhai Ambani, Mukesh Ambani, Ranbir Singh, Rekha, Lata Mangeshkar, Aishwarya Rai, Sanjeev Kapoor, Shaimak Davar, Sunil Gavaskar, Hrithik Roshan, Ratan Tata.

Number 2:

# 2 represents the Moon, and they are persons born on the 2nd, 11th, 20th and 29th of any month.

If 2016 didn’t meet expectations then the good news is that 2017 can even perhaps surpass some of your aspirations.
Moon, your ruler makes you creative & dreamy, but to achieve dreams it’s necessary to wake-up!
The year of the Sun is the right time to come out of hibernation for those who have been planning their career move.

If you combat your mind (read-mood) then there is so much fame awaiting you.
You are destined for honours, awards & recognition if you follow
your goals & sixth-sense.

Those suffering from health issues can bounce back, the magnetic rays of the Sun can make you feel rejuvenated.

And for eligible singles, now’s the time to mingle.

Financially you may overspend, but remember what fellow No 2, SRK once said-
‘Spend so much that you find ways to make more!’

Health Tips-
Alternate remedies can help overcome restlessness, if you conquer your mind, this will take care of your body.

Examples of some famous No. 2’s:

Rajesh Khanna, {29th Dec}, Dilip Kumar, {11th Dec} Amitabh Bachchan, {11th Oct} ShahRukh Khan {2nd Nov}, Ajay Devgn {2nd Apr} and Sanjay Dutt {29 July}.

Number 3:

People born on the 3rd, 12th, 21st and 30th in any month are termed as Number 3 people, ruled by the biggest planet Jupiter.

Mostly you are hardly ever ‘cash-strapped’ so demonetisation would have come to you as a rude shock.
Though you would feel cramped, remember that you have & will come out of the tightest of situations with bravado.

Tough times don’t last, tough people do!
Though you have set high standards of achievements, sometimes one can bank on past-laurels too.

Your hard-working & enterprising nature would sail you eventually.

Focus on loved ones; don’t neglect them when they need you the most.
Not being too expressive in matters of love & affection is not a licence that will help forever so work on this grey area.

Health Tips- Do not strain yourself too much, physically nor mentally.

Examples of some famous No. 3’s:
Rajnikanth, Yuvraj Singh Sharad Pawar {all 3, 12/12} Warren Buffet, {30/08}, Kareena, Tom Cruise, Shankar, Ehsaan & Loy.

Number 4:

People born on the 4th, 13th, 22nd, and 31st in any month are termed as # 4’s, ruled by Uranus. Uranus {4} is linked with the Sun {1} so # 4’s are also indirectly influenced by the magnetic rays of the Sun.

If 2016 was a mixed-bag, then you shall get relief this year.
Your best Number is 1, Sun and can bank on 2017 to be a year that can be remembered as a landmark year for some years to come.

For those who want to prove their mettle, now is the time to spend your resources & capitalise.
For students, it can be a learning & enriching experience and you can make headways in research & development.

Though expenses could mount, treat this as an investment that shall multiply into long-term returns.

Those eligible have a greater chance to tie the knot.
Others looking for better job prospects can be equally lucky.

Health Tips- take care of your lungs, throat & feet; guard against urinary problems.
Worship the Sun that gives Light & Life.

Examples of some famous No. 4’s:

Barack Obama, Kishore Kumar, Sridevi, Tabu, Juhi Chawla, Preity Zinta.

Number 5:

People born on the 5th, 14th, 23rd in any month are termed as # 5’s, ruled by Mercury, the fastest.

Mercury melts with heat and 1, Sun {2017} is fiery.

The trick is to disguise your aggression & focus on more meaningful jobs in hand.

Your dry wit can act as a shield too; use your communication skills to your advantage. But being a good listener is equally important.

Though you love to travel, there would be fewer opportunities than usual. Which is not a very bad thing; money saved is money earned.

If you are persistent enough, you will score, even if the run-rate could be slower than your expected pace.
So try to remain at the crease.

Being an adaptable personality, you love to be amongst friends, flip side being you get bored of them as fast too.
Focus on a particular relationship that can endure so you get back the love with equal intensity.

Health Tips- Alternate remedies like yoga & meditation can help ward off depression & anxiety. An emerald can help too.

Examples of some famous No. 5’s:

Donald Trump, Virat Kohli, Aamir Khan, Rohit Shetty {both March 14}, Abhishek Bachchan {Feb 05}, Deepika Padukone (5/01) & Kajol  {Aug 5}.
Number 6:

People born on the 6th, 15th and 24th in any month are termed as #6, ruled by Venus. Venus also governs Librans and Taurus born.

Last year’s luck could rub off for some time only before which you need to  eventually recoup your energies.
You should brace yourself to push harder to achieve desired results & recognition.

Do not allow yourself to get downhearted if your efforts don’t fructify.

If you don’t win a race, do a post-mortem, make it a learning experience; eventually nothing is hence wasted.

Your charismatic nature can charm the best; bank on this side of your disposition.

Usually a spendthrift do not let the ‘cashless’ economy make you splurge or you could find any amount of cash less!

Love & romance are things that you can hardly do without too.
So work overtime to let the momentum & bond last longer.
You don’t want to again invest more time in a newer relationship, do you!

Health Tips- Work on your food habits, do not over-indulge. Pay attention to physical fitness.

Examples of some famous No. 6’s:

Ranvir Singh, Alia Bhatt, Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Sachin Tendulkar, Sania Mirza, A R Rehman, Madhuri Dixit, Subhash Ghai, Rakesh Roshan, Anil Kapoor are other examples of number 6 persons.

Number 7:

People born on the 7th, 16th and 25th in any month are termed as # 7’s, ruled by Neptune, and such persons are also under the influence of the interchangeable # 2 of Moon. Cancerians too are ruled by 7 {and 2}.

You could juggle between spirituality & materialistic spheres with ease, one leg on either side.

Your past efforts could get you the recognition & rewards too. This good phase can last two years & hence continue till the end of 2018.

Your love life that may have seen some upheavals can get sorted too but not without efforts from your end too. Remember, it’s a two-way street.

Finances could look up from August onwards.

Till then you have to fight your own battle.
Life ain’t a bed of roses anyway!
However, from the second half of the year, you may expect a good phase for alliances & partnerships; you will once again treat life as a team-game.

Health Tips- Your mind rules over your body; yoga & meditation may work even better than gymming.

Examples of some famous No. 7’s :

M S Dhoni, Arvind Kejriwal, Ekta Kapoor, Katrina, Saif Ali Khan, Karan Johar, Irrfan.

Number 8:

People born on the 8th, 17th, and 26th in any month are termed as # 8’s, ruled by Saturn. # 8 also presides over the Zodiacal Signs of Capricorns, Aquarians and Librans.

If you have been grossly misunderstood in the recent months that went by, you will have the opportunity to clean the slate too now.

Try not to feel lonely & isolated, you could do with more than the few friends that you have.

Basking in their presence will bring the hidden best out from within you.

This can also help clear the air.
Those looking to get hitched can have more opportunities coming their way.
1, Sun (2017) & 8, Saturn are like Father & son so love & hate cannot be ruled out. As a result, do not stretch matters till the edge.
Try not to wait till the end to complete targets, time being so unpredictable.

With patience & perseverance Saturn blesses you with will-power & determination.

Post July you can expect if not exactly a wind-fall then at least compensations that will strengthen your belief in mankind.

In matters of relationship & romance, don’t let your shyness make you miss the bus. If you can’t be loud & bold, come out of the shell at least. It’s a beautiful world out there!

Health Tips- Sleep well, early to bed should be your mantra this year or else insomnia can cause depression.

Examples of some famous No. 8’s:

Narendra Modi, Dr Manmohan Singh, Sourav Ganguly, Anil Kumble, Shilpa Shetty, Riteish Deshmukh, Asha Bhosale, Gauri Khan & John Abraham.

Number 9:

People born on the 9th, 18th and 27th in any month are termed # 9’s, governed by Mars, and Scorpions & Arians too are Mars ruled.

9, Mars & 1, Sun (2017) are poles apart, common factor being both are fiery & are pillars of the Numbers game.

Do not let your ego come in between relationships, personal or professional.

Your karmas & hard-work can help avoid mishaps.

The secret is to stay busy; this way time will fly faster.

Those looking for a job change shall try to instead lie low; usually we don’t go out for a drive when there’s a storm coming.

Most times, known enemies are better than unknown.
Socially you could do a lot for your fellow-men.
Leading from the front can come naturally to you.

Romance can be the grey area that needs some ironing.

Health Tips- spend some time on physical fitness, but also guard against accidents, don’t drive rashly. Red Coral can help too.

Examples of some famous No. 9’s:

Akshay Kumar, Salman Khan, Priyanka Chopra, Farhan Akhtar, Bruce Lee, Suresh Raina, Sonam A Kapoor, Shatrughan Sinha are No 9’s.
