ESSENCE OF FOUR

SECURITY

Four symbolizes the boundaries that provide security for the Three. As the square, the second perfect shape in mathematics, it suggests solid foundations and perimeters that contain and protect.  The determined and conservative Four works hard to provide strong fences and square meals for the nourishment of the Three family.

PERSONAL NUMBER FOUR

You are practical, cautious, and reliable, the salt of the earth.  You feel responsible for building solid foundations upon which the future depends. That is why you respect law and order . It also explains why your cupboard is never bare and you have something  saved for that rainy day.  You can de depended upon to be at the job every day and to finish any task assigned to you; you exemplify Kahlil Gibran's line from THE PROPHET "Work is love made visible" You take pride in your work because it is an expression of yourself.  You are concerned with the land and need to be connected in some manner, through a garden , nature trips, or environmental issues. Financial matters are of concern to you as well; they are another expression of the worth of you talents.  You should avoid stubbornness, overwork, and hoarding.

PERSONAL YEAR CYCLE FOUR

The emphasis this year is on work, order, budgeting, foundations, close physical relationships, the body. You have an urge to organize all areas of your life, so you begin cleaning the attic, cellar, closets, the garage, the office.  This action is a symbolic gesture indicative of your subconscious need to build an orderly and strong foundation in your life.  Material things become important now because they add to your sense of security and satisfy your heightened physical needs. You may purchase goods or property, or decide to build or remodel. Exercise good judgment and organize your funds carefully.  You body is a physical possession, and since you may have put on a few pounds last year, now is the time to bring out the sweat suits, the diet book, and the bathroom scales. Health can be a concern, so rest, eat well, exercise properly, and have a physical examination.  This can be a money cycle, but funds that come in are in direct proportion to the amount of work you do.  Work well and you will be rewarded.
