It is said that numbers are the language of the universe and therefore, have a profound impact on our lives (whether we are aware of it or not). Each number from 1 to 9 carries a specific vibration or archetype (patterns of behaviour), and through unlocking the 5 core numbers in our personal numerology chart (via the Pythagorean/Western system), we are better equipped to understand our life's purpose, our divine gifts, and our potential life obstacles. Numerology calculations generally require our date of birth and birth certificate name. The team at Numerologist.com offer a free calculation tool which is a great first step for anyone seeking to understand themselves on a deeper level. Once you have discovered your "core numbers", we highly suggest that you take time to do extra research by visiting various other websites (there is plenty of free content out there). In doing so, you will build a stronger connection to the numbers and in a sense, help to "activate" them. My first numerology calculation came from this very website back in March of 2017, and it has shifted my life tremendously ever since! I mean, look at where I am now? :)

The Enneagram Test is a powerful tool that can increase your self-awareness and empower you with self-understanding. It encompasses both human psychology and spirituality, and helps you to identify your "blind spots" (aka shadows). The Enneagram was first conceptualized by mystic Gurdjieff and further developed by Oscar Ichazo and psychiatrist Claudio Naranjo. This particular test is from the incredible team at Lonerwolf (Luna & Sol), and I highly recommend everyone visit and bookmark their website as it is full of super juicy spiritual content and an abundance of free tests to help build on your self awareness. And if you find their work serves you on your journey, please do spare some change and kindly donate to their website as they release all their content for free. Yes, FREE!

Did you know that the date, time and location you were born are no coincidence and was divinely planned by your own soul? At the exact moment of your incarnation on this Earth, all the stars and planets aligned in a specific position (or "placement") to create your astrological blueprint (aka your "birth natal chart"). This chart is like a magical roadmap revealing your soul's innate talents, personality traits, and shadow aspects (challenging life themes). Through examining where all the planets, houses, and aspects sit in your chart, you can further understand your soul's journey and the key lessons for soul growth. The team at Cafe Astrology offer a free tool to calculate your birth natal chart which is then translated into an extensive report that is truly eye opening! For the best results, you will need to know the exact time you were born. That said, it is okay if you do not know this (you'll just have a little less info in your report). For those who find the report overwhelming (as there is A LOT of information to consume), begin with focusing on your Sun, Moon, and Ascending (aka Rising) signs first and gradually build on from there.

Human Design (HD) is the Science of Differentiation, and this system shows that we each have a unique design and a specific purpose to fulfil on Earth. The system leverages off ancient wisdom traditions like the I'Ching, Hindu Chakra System, Tree of Life (Kabbalah), and Astrology, combined with the Science of Neutrinos, Genetics, and Physics. The late Ra Uru Hu (founder of the system), believed that we are "9-centred beings" and every human can be grouped under one of four energetic "Types", being: Manifestors, Generators, Projectors, or Reflectors. There is also a fifth hybrid type known as Manifesting-Generators. Each Type utilises and expresses its energy differently and by becoming aware of this, we can leverage our energy more effectively according to our own body mechanics. Using your date, time and location of birth (similar to Astrology), the HD system produces a "BodyGraph" that acts as a precise map and operating manual on how we are genetically designed to interact with the world, and how our inner-guidance system operates. The BodyGraph reveals our "Type", "Strategy" and "Authority" plus, outlines our strengths and blind spots. You can grab a free Human Design Report at Jovian Archives (Ra Uru Hu's original website). MyBodyGraph.com also offers a free digital and interactive BodyGraph. Side Note: This systems works well with the Gene Keys System.

This is a modernised version of the Myer-Briggs Personality Type Indicator (MBTI) test from the team at 16Personalities.com. Many of you probably had to do one of these at school at some point, although the results probably didn't "sink in" as you were likely too young to even care about these things (nor really know who you are). However, as we each get older and begin to walk the spiritual path, it is important to seek all avenues of developing self-knowledge and understanding, and the MBTI test can be one of the many tools to help us with identifying our basic personality traits, including our strengths, weaknesses, and personal preferences. The original questionnaire was developed by Isabel Myers and her mother Katherine Briggs, and their work was based off Carl Gustav Jung's theory of "personality types". The test was actually designed to understand personality differences in the general population. While everything is not "set in stone", we have found this test to be fairly accurate and have used it frequently in the workplace to understand our fellow team members and identify their preferred work and communication styles.

Unlike the Human Design (HD) System where we are provided with more strategic and practical information, i.e. "what" our strengths/weaknesses are and "how" we operate (energetically) in the world, the Gene Keys (GK) System takes us on a more contemplative path. (This system is perhaps more suited to the philosophers and seekers of the world). There are 64 Gene Keys in total, that correspond with the 64 codons found in our genetic code, and the 64 Hexagrams of the I'Ching. Each GK represents a core archetype that can be expressed in either a low, high, or highest vibrational state (aka shadow, gift, or siddhi, respectively). By learning which specific GKs relate to us, we can work towards activating our gifts and siddhi. The GK System is designed to take us deep within our souls and over time, connects us with our higher purpose aka our "Genius". This system is meant to be digested and integrated slowly. It is a fluid system that takes one on a journey of truth and revelation. If the Human Design System gives us the "what" and "how", then the Gene Keys System is said to give us the "why". The GK System was first channelled in 2002 by Richard Rudd, a long-time student of Ra Uru Hu's Human Design work, and as such, builds on from the HD System. You can obtain your free GK Hologenetic Profile from the Gene Keys website.
