Life Purpose Report for
Pope John Paul

Numerology

Numerology is a complimentary divination method that provides a good starting point for astrology, it confirms and enhances the natal chart and gives a structure on which to build.

18 May 1920 = 18+5+1920 = 26/8

The number 8 relates to the planet Saturn. Saturn is in the 1st house in Virgo. With an horary value of +1, bestowing leadership qualities, originality and exclusivity for his destiny. The 1st house relates to identity, he is likely to be identified as someone who is represented by Virgo’s symbolism, which is that of service. Esoterically Virgo represents the Christ’s consciousness or the hidden Christ, the inner gestation and growth of the soul force within us, Virgo the Virgin is about birthing the Christ.
The Christ is the soul of humanity. So this man was born to be identified with the Christ’s soul of humanity. A man operating on the highest human expression of Virgo will say "life is led as an act of love", and he devotes himself to the universality of humankind; uniting all in the knowledge of love.
Astrologically number 8 relates to the planet Saturn, which is considered to be the most malefic planet in the solar system. In astrology Saturn deals with the dark side of human nature, teaching the native to overcome fear and tread into the light. This is very apt for Wojtyla Karol, as in his own life he lost both his mother and father by the age of 21.
When Saturn is well placed in a chart it brings wisdom, awareness of right and wrong, sincerity, honesty, love of justice, non-attachment, long life, fame, authority, leadership and organizational abilities. Saturn is the planet of confinement; its teaching methods can bring anything from obstruction, delay, loss, humiliation, enmity, lawsuits and prison. With a destiny 8, a person is likely to experience delays and obstacles, perhaps even humiliation from an unknown source, which makes life rather unpredictable.
Often those with a psychic number 8 too [born on the 8, 17, and 26 of any month] create conditions for their own failure, by loosing faith in a virtuous life and act destructively. 8’s attract unwanted opposition and enmity without cause, there can be financial losses and theft too.
8’s have accidents, face lawsuits and can prematurely age. Saturn teaches wisdom through sad experiences and opposition, which eventually leads to 8’s to excel under such difficulties, in fact the more difficulties they experience the better; they shine. Through great adversity 8’s achieve fame and organizational abilities, they hold high posts and become wealthier in the latter part of life.
If interested in politics, they reach the top, in spiritual and occult sciences they will become leaders of their groups. Problems exist for them, whether real or imaginary, they experience humiliations, and at times seek solitude as it gives a relief from the outside world, however they are seen by others they may suffer with loneliness.
Negative 8’s are susceptible to drug addiction and alcohol. [this is not the case for the pontiff] Sex scandals can give 8’s a bad name, love is not generally a successful area of life. This usually only happens if Saturn is weak in the chart. Should an 8 marry, it would not be for a long period of time, perhaps their fear of rejection or separation or divorce adds to the decision. Often living alone for a while can be good for their spiritual lives.
8’s philosophical ideas can take them away from pleasure seeking and then they are found directing their energies to fight the suffering of fellow men. Many 8’s are destined to make their mark on history, as innovators, scientific researchers, social reformers and opposition groups. 8’s develop endurance, they tend not to suffer from stresses or strains and adjust to shocks quickly, coming to terms with adversity while a child brings about a certain attitude which helps with survival.
8’s have no time for social amusements. They don’t know how to behave in this arena, they don’t know how to play. Women who are 8’s inherit property and save money for their old age, preferring to be alone due to earlier experiences. Life partners are difficult to find, but 8’s are dedicated to their families, they have patience, spiritual inclinations and faith. Destiny 8 men do not usually respect their partners, or respect women in general.
Perhaps respect is the wrong word, as often 8 men are well mannered, but they do not consider women to be on an equal footing, but something less. 8’s usually have to go through a lawsuit at least once in their life. Pythagoras called the 8 "light and darkness", the money maker and the spiritually minded who offer light to the dark. An 8 will choose one path or the other, or perhaps even try to balance both.
Knowledge of spirit and matter gives the 8 inspiration, even genius. 44 = 8 is the number of the mastermind, with other associated words such as; prosper, unlimited. Destiny 8 appears to be the most difficult of life-paths, but it does give its rewards where it is due and usually much later in life, but before anything is given a person has to understand what its like to be on the receiving end of others actions, facing obstacles in life such as failing exams needed for a chosen profession, often the rejections and failures bring about a certain morality;
experiences that they would not wish others to suffer; those who have failed are not failures or something less; failure makes a person more determined; failure means more refinement is needed. Also it is about understanding how it happened. Eventually 8’s consider the results of their response to any subject, more than whatever is being said or dished out to them in the moment, they develop a wider perspective on life, an understanding of what things lead to. Rather like a chess game of preconceived moves.

Pope John Paul was born Wojtyla Karol [163/10/1]

Notes on Name number [the tool used in life]

The name number is the interactive human experience to contend with during the life. 10/1 gives the promise of manifestation that he will be in a leader role like a king. Name number 1 relates to the Sun, making people king-like, royal disciplined, authoritative strong and original. These people are remembered for a long time after their death; 1’s make progress in all areas, a 1 name number is good for writers, poets, actors and leaders and all those who come into contact with the public.
1’s benefits come through the social field, people want to give to them. 1’s are destined to be leaders in their own field of work, success comes through learning to rely on their own abilities, show courage and determination and avoid the negative aspects of selfishness and egotism. People look to 1’s for guidance and direction, 1’s are born to be outstanding. A very good name for a Pope.

Pope John Paul 2nd = 167/14/5

14/5 is a karmic number, some numerologists would have 14/5 come about from an irresponsible misuse of power in a past life, and control is to be learned in all areas of this life, particularly over the physical pleasures, and is likely to bring health problems in the future; [Louise Hay - Parkinson’s disease; fear and an intense desire to control everything and everyone] perhaps he overdid it.
Past lives are difficult to prove, even less lessons carried over from them, I prefer to associate 14/5 as needing to gain control over the senses in this life. When self-control is gained, the person becomes a SAGE [14/5] and is on the spiritual path. Whatever a person thinks of past lives, 14/5 speaks of selfless service to others; 1 = leader 6 = responsible, humanitarian, teacher. 7 = dignified, spiritual educator.
5 relates to Mercury astrologically, making a person entertaining, intelligent, sensitive and wily. 5’s were born to deal with people in general and to promote "freedom and progress". Change, new circumstances, new approaches, variety, versatility and unexpected happenings will feature greatly in life. 5’s do not mix with the same people for very long, they teach other people about "liberty".

Soul Group Chart

The soul group chart shows me the information of the energetic "fabric" [frequency] from which the natal chart is made, it gives the soul group purpose, and gives clues to the numerous possibilities and goal direction seen in a natal chart. Often people recognise this soul energy as describing their "nature". The group manifests on the third ray, concerning itself with the ability to relate in the world.
It is involved with matter and creation of forms, the ray energy is often seen as the builder or the architect, as energy follows thought. The third ray is on the mental plane, so it will also find expression in ideas and abstract thinking through scholars, mathematicians and inventors. The purpose of the third ray soul group is to distribute "material" in the form of ideas so that all humanity benefit worldwide.
The third ray planets are Saturn and Earth, Saturn’s position is important in this chart. Saturn is in Libra joining the 3rd and 7th rays, bringing in the Aquarian age. Uranus rules the 7th ray, which is concerned with synthesis, this puts the soul group aims as "synthesising ideas". Interestingly this soul group is my own.
The concerns of the soul group energy and how it relates in the world is about "The personal appearance of things" all things, be it on a physical, emotional or mental level. There is a great attention paid to detail in the soul groups surroundings, and the issues of organization are fully utilized. On a grander soul group scale, the energy can be seen as an organized and smooth running unit, with a focus on either the material or the spiritual world.
Those who focus on the material desires, work towards establishing a fine elegant appearance of tasteful design, while on a more spiritual level the concern is with organizing inner spiritual beauty which benefits others.
The energy can manifest itself in two ways, by directing itself into a successful and directed social being, or it takes on a more psychological route of spiritual well being, which can be directed towards helping others, this requires establishing and understanding some order of spiritual consciousness through some developed practice.
The groups aim is continuing the smooth running of Christianity on a spiritual level, knowing where they are at and what they are working towards, seeing through others chaos and making order.
Turning apparent chaos into an established pattern. This soul group gives a widely diverse expression, for a natal chart that is tuned towards the physical, concern is for their own personal looks, or others looks, running and organising and bring balance into their own lives and others, then ultimately balancing their own and others psychologically and again balancing and overseeing others life paths on a soul level.

In a nutshell the soul group promises enlightenment, for those who choose it. A person may go from a materialistic outlook to a spiritual outlook which helps others. The soul group energy needs other people in order to exist. On one level, understanding of the self comes through mixing with others, and on another level self understanding in turn is used to help others.
The soul energy requires interaction with others for personal growth. The energy postulates that there must be balance in these relationships, there cannot be too much giving or receiving, from one person, the lesson is in creating energy balance in relating with others. Relationship requires exchange. The Pope is to be respected by the rest of the world.
Right at the heart of the soul group energy are the midpoints; Uranus/MC = Jupiter/Saturn = Mars/MC = Vx = Eq. Giving original objectives, assertion, fortunate changes, inventors, physicists, musicians, perseverance, philosophy, professor, teacher, lawyer, official = organiser, leader, leading personality, success.
Creative ideas are highlighted by professional organization[s]. The reason for interaction is to build spiritual awareness in collective beliefs. Pluto is out of bounds; meaning it is not subjected to the restrictions of Saturn, transformation, power and regeneration is potentially unlimited.

Natal Chart

Pope John Paul was born on an eclipse and was buried on an eclipse. symbolizing a person who is bringing in something new. Wojtyla Karol's life-path is ruled by Pisces and the planets Neptune, Moon and Pluto. Pisces is associated with Christianity and a fish is the symbol of the initiate. Whilst Neptune reveals that which remains hidden, it also represents that dreamy state of idealism and misconceptions.
Pisces rules the 8th house, it’s about transmutation and regeneration of values, the 8th house also has a spiritual association with it, therefore a transformation of spiritual values. Transformation is also about liberation, [Neptune in 12th house], responsibility [Moon in 10th house] and spiritual visions and wishes [Pluto in 11th house]. Their seems to be responsibility associated with spiritual dreams and wishes, taking responsibility during a period of change.

The life path; his life is seen like the germination of a seed, planted for watering and growth by others that follow. His life signifies the phase of transformation from one stage to another, his purpose is to distil the wisdom of what has gone before him to be inherited by those who have yet to emerge. He lives in total objectivity, using his instinctive awareness and open response to life and others, he gladdens whomever he encounters.
He tried to hold an instinctive childlike joy. He tried to create a harmonious and peaceful environment, exercising his emotion and intellect in a purely passive manner, to discern the qualities he will embody as himself. He fills the role of a listener, an observer and a joyful receiver. There is much placidity and lack of aggression within him that is unusual in contemporary society. He was to make a strong impact on society.

The Sun at 27 07 Taurus ruler of the 1st house in the 10th. Horary value +1, leader, thinker, an individual. He works for himself, he is independent, self sufficient and a self starter, he has a good reputation, position in life, has personal power. This position of the Sun shows that he was an interesting blend of tradition and liberalism, a mover and shaker with a revolutionary bent.
He simply wanted to improve what he saw; he would speak out in a thoroughly professional manner in a straightforward fashion, preferring a clean classical approach. He had a practical approach to problems, he liked to get things done without to much fuss or bother, however his outspoken manner may have got him into trouble, and he liked the clear logical approach to issues.
He was the voice of reason, but could easily exert a rational tyranny over others. He may have got carried away with his cause, by becoming fanatical about their views they fall into an emotional trap of their own making. This position ensures that the unsureness of youth is pulled together so as to function later in life. He may well have defined life as a struggle, busy with societal responsibilities, suppressing his own needs.

The Sun parallel Arctaurus; success comes through slow and patient plodding, friends among clergy, favourable for gain and for dealing with the public and lawyers. (Robson)

Aspects; Sun conjunct the Moon and Sun Parallel Moon; new start made in life, rulers of 12th and 1st in the 10th, he is an authority figure where his identity is associated with an "institution of faith", The Pope in Catholicism.

The attributes of this position; this position is about giving a huge over the top expression to what is felt inside. Enthusiasm is unbounded. By giving and sharing with others of their own personal inner experience, they may find themselves mistakenly be cast in the role of an entertainer. Boredom is never an issue, as this position is about rigorously examining subjective ideas with the mind.
This position is about being "widespread", wide ranging interests, worldwide even, but by being so widespread, it also suggests that the depth of interaction with others or the depth of knowledge covered over so many things can be nothing other than spread thinly, possibly more thinly than is personally wished. The love of travel or addiction to travel makes the pace of life frantic, therefore rest periods are required before a complete and utter breakdown.
Mentally this position is associated with being quick thinking, highly critical and suffering with worry and fears of different kinds. The mind just never turns off. Challenge comes from stilling the mind and remotely viewing personal actions and taking time to focus on personal goals. Life could resemble a butterfly, jumping from one project to another at alarming speed, never quite learning proficiency before going onto the next challenge.
Eventually having accumulated many talents, there is only one way of keeping them perfected, through self discipline, therefore the word "maintain" is understood. Motto for this position is "Variety is the spice of life". This position gives; excitement, innovation and over the top expression. Negatively; undisciplined actions, unfulfilled dreams and an over talkative communications.

Adherence to unrealistic expectations, even when obviously unobtainable, may lead to self-destructive urges. This position has difficulty letting go of idealistic hopes. Despite the physique much power is radiated, the strength lies in the defence of others who need help or protection.
There is much charisma ensuring friends and support. Anger is a big problem, effecting all, it has to be learnt to be controlled or others safety becomes an issue. Impatience and irritability cause problems too. Gentleness, generousness, and happiness are found when moral standards are obtained.

Therefore he represses his feelings to obtain this advanced position.

By associating with a higher cause their personal power becomes increased. As theirs is a Universal goal.

This may be done publicly or privately.

Knowing they are the best in what they do, they persuade others this realization through their dominant personality. Setbacks, frustrations, disappointments are just stones on the path they tread.
This position could be defined as a crusader following a particular mission with zeal. But they are the boss of the mission, and the only leader they want. There is humour which touches on the ironic situation, and accurately aimed barbed comments that mercilessly hit others and themselves. Right amidst the world of controversy they arouse interest and antagonism, but are adept at defending themselves with language.
At sometime in life there is dependency on others for necessities and for the provision of a stable home environment. Likely to suffer from unexpected ailments. Personal relationships are put to the side due to the preoccupation with work. The world is viewed in a crystal clear fashion, knowing the fundamental nature of things. The possible manifestations of transits etc; elected leader, unexpected illness, a setback, seeing things clearly, seeing a solution.

Neptune parallel the fixed star Diadem; it is said to give a suave and well-bred manner, with great personal charm, but to lead to an idle and dissipated life. There is some love of, or, ability for the stage. (Robson)

He greatly needs the support of this association in order to feel secure. The attributes of the position; trailblazing something new, implementing new ideas, freely bringing thoughts into the world.
Work is original, elegant and simple, with hard hitting highly individual viewpoints; the position creates doers that may just overreach themselves. Suffering a blow brings about a new determination to get up and get on with life again. This is the position of the self-made man, coming out of nowhere with unusual talents and taking life by storm. Those with least powerful planets on this position may find it difficult getting others to listen to their schemes.
The thought processes remain a mystery and in turn the ability to teach others of the unusual ideas, and the steps involved become difficult to explain, the unique way of looking at life may keep them out of touch with other people. Projects may be left unfinished as interest has dwindled and new stimuli have brought new innovations to contemplate, perseverance has to be learnt.
May overwhelm others with tremendous energy and a facile mind, but there is diplomacy and shrewdness, often new talents are tried or developed. Need support of others who are close, a few close friends’ help with the knocks of life. Possible manifestations of this position; a loss, loosing everything that is dear, a new idea, going from nowhere to being someone, inability to explain themselves, trying something new, starting a new project, needing the support of others.

Pluto parallel Arctaurus; it has a reputation for achieving "justice through power".

Pluto conjunct the fixed star Mirzam; "The Announcers", representing a barking dog that announces the arrival of visitors, or brings things to people's attention;

Vertex 14 56 Capricorn The vertex shows what a person finds problematical in relating, it’s a personal challenge that can make people physically ill as it is related to the Ascendant/descendant axis. The Pope's problem was proving his beliefs to others, by listening to others philosophical speculations he appeared to be considering the best way to live, but in reality nothing would change his personal belief, but by giving others audience, he might just be able to change theirs.
Substantiation is the theme of this position, proving to others [and themselves] the truth of any given situation; usually it’s regarding the metaphysical area and philosophical speculations regarding the best way to live. Usually the belief of a higher existence, in a divine form, or nature, or a universal spirit or soul is at the heart of the matter, devotion, love, duty and sacrifice and interest in every physical manifestation of spirit are sought, there is great clarity in ideas which some say are far out thoughts.
Not averse to facing danger, they recognize dark forces and radiate innocence and light, even upon sceptics. The inner vision is unshaken through all trials, as the belief in a greater power than the self is strong. Proof is seen in ideas everywhere, everything has a special significance. There is a great desire to be worshipped, adored and followed for "bringing in the light" to others.
There is a high moral stance and unfulfilled desires. Having a fixed Earth chart signature means that it is impossible to change his mind once decided, fixed usually means "for life", whatever challenges are faced, or whatever is proven, he would stand fixed to his ideals, because the proof would never be enough to break down what is real for him.

Vertex conjunct the fixed star Vega; can be trained in duties of court. Avengers of crimes and in charge of public courts and inquires. If Saturn is in any aspect with Vega when rising, the native will pursue this vocation with a fanaticism to the point of utilizing tortures and executions to stamp out what he considers evil. (Noonan)

Vertex conjunct the fixed star Rukbat; steadiness and strength.

N node 15 38 Scorpio The North node shows how a person is remembered for what they have done, how they are thought of. It’s about being drawn into human experiences that others would call questionable, dubious or "not the straight and narrow". Some things about the life are bizarre and weird. Pushing back the limits of human experience, of what has gone before.
Upsetting those who have lived within carefully controlled parameters. Dedication borders mania, they drive themselves and others with intensity. Successful in finances [successful in spirituality]. When presented with schemes a "prove it to me" attitude prevails, and due consideration will be given. Resisting the darker self within and avoiding mixing with undesirables of the criminal world.
Confronting of personal demons and using self analysis. Feeling responsible, exercising caution and limitation. known for moral and physical strength

The north node parallel Sirius; it promises fame and honours, its about lifting a person up beyond what is expected, this indicates to me that he will be made a saint in due course.

Summary
