Life Purpose Report for
Tony Blair

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.

The birth date is the destiny number, showing the experience of life as it unfolds.

6 May 1953

6+5+1+9+5+3 = 29/11--29 behind the 11 stands for spiritual power; 2 = peace, 9 = humanity, completion.
Other 29 words are--associated, force and wisdom. [words that have meaning in his life purpose] 11 indicates this is a spiritual quest. The destiny number two is associated with the Moon in astrology and has a very powerful effect on a person’s life, as the path through life resembles the waxing and waning of the Moon in its changeable circumstances.
Tony Blair’s Moon is in the 10th house of leadership, conjunct the Moon's node, indicating leader of an association [party leader] and leader of the country as "Prime Minister".
The Moon in Tony Blair’s natal chart rules the 3rd and 4th houses of communications and heritage. Traditionally the 4th house rules the government party opposition, the common people, so in these terms we can say the 4th house relates to "the Labour party" representative [3rd].
Tony Blair’s purpose was to be the Labour party representative in opposition to the government. It's strange that his natal chart reads " Prime Minister", and opposition is also shown to his own party; perhaps more will become clearer later.
Interestingly the Moon has the least power in Tony Blair’s chart with a horary value of -5, indicating that he is prone to the negative 5 attributes of thoughtlessness, impatience and restlessness, and prone to taking a gamble.
The Moon is in the 10th house of leadership, conjunct the Moon's node, indicating an emotional link to his association [Labour] and communications with the common people.

The object of a two destiny number is to gain mental and psychological growth during the lifetime; as a result the owner gains more confidence in the world and is then able to make their individual "personal mark" upon it. Unfortunately in order to bring this about, the destiny two makes people face a few ups and downs in life; it may appear that opportunities slip from their hands just when they feel within grasp; this can initially give the feeling of helplessness, as the changes often feel unpredictable. But in reality they show people are capable of much if they reach out and grab the opportunity with both hands.
2’s love their home and family, and are greatly interested in all domestic affairs; it is where 2’s feel most comfortable. [this means he is more comfortable dealing with the issues of home affairs]
Sadly when love affairs end or there is a parting of the ways, in some way there is a strange twist with this number; it seems that almost without exception that women get landed with the blame, whether they deserve it or not; it just is;
i.e. thinking not of love affairs, but of the politics of the British and American allies, Condoleezza Rice was possibly the only female in these talks; I'm not sure if she has somehow been given the blame in some way regarding information; it would typically be a number 2 twist, labelled by onlookers, not Tony Blair.
2’s have a great sense of self respect, and a precise and well mannered way of interacting with others; their thinking is "do unto others as you would like others to do unto you"; this thinking serves them very well as they are favoured by good friends, strong followers, and positive circumstances of clarity of understanding. 2’s can act with great confidence and do not doubt themselves, even under stressful conditions; they are capable of performing miracles in any field they are involved in.
With a destiny of two, Tony Blair is attracted to water, he loves rivers, streams, waterfalls, springs, lakes and ponds. It is also usual to find destiny two's enjoying living in groups, because two’s are particularly fond of good company; so much so that the important jobs, appointments, transactions, can suffer because of the attraction to be with others. There is nothing like the harmony of good vibrations and friendship for a 2.
As the Moon is associated with the number 2, it bestows strong intuitive powers; it would be natural for Tony Blair to intuit the minds of others. There is also a high probability that if his life were less demanding, he would develop an interest in herbs and medicinal plants and gardening, and redecorating his home. [on a grander country scale, this covers medicine and hospitals, horticulture and refurbishment]
A destiny two can make a good psychologist, creative thinker, poet, writer, counselor, therapist, doctor and dancer.
After the age of 35, the spiritual life becomes more important, suggesting that Tony Blair’s soul purpose will not be experienced before age 35.

The name number is the tool used in life, the interactive experience during life. Tony Blair = 116/8; 1 = exclusive = original = voice, 8 = leader. Number 8 relates to Saturn in the astrological chart, which rules the 9th and 10th houses. This again suggests advising government as Prime minister.
8’s interaction with others is rather humbling and full of obstacles, as can be seen in the media; it’s the school of hard knocks and humiliation at every turn, until the tools are finely honed.
Many athletes have 8 as a name number, balancing good health, strength and stamina. 8’s have good common sense. Management, organisation and administration lead 8’s to a position of authority and recognition.
At some time in his life he will have to make an assessment or judgement over other people; sometimes 8’s do this regularly as part of their work. If the philosophy is faulty, this cannot be achieved. But if the philosophical faculty is developed and unprejudiced judgement is made, the reward comes in its accomplishment. Money may not always be the reward for accomplishment, although often 8’s associated with business become famous. This suggests that Tony Blair may go into business at some stage of life and that he will have to face some huge matter of judgement at some time. By having a weak destiny number that is prone to haste and gambling, it’s essential that he has accomplished the 8’s common sense. Otherwise he could make the wrong decision.

The day of birth, the psychic number, 6

People born on the 6th of the month like to do humanitarian service. They are artistic, generous, responsible, loving and are interested in home and family.
6 relates to the planet Venus; Venus rules the intercepted 5th and 12th, culture and leisure, and care, crime and liberation. Venus could be said to be Tony Blair’s undoing, as Venus is the other least powerful planet in his natal chart, with a -2 value, bringing conflict, indecision due to being able to see both sides of an issue, and the fact he is easily hurt.
6’s attract members of the opposite sex easily; they are very social, love travel, and may journey to foreign lands, and in their lives are always busy. 6’s are conscious about their physical appearance and dress well.
They dislike ugliness, dirtiness, mismanagement and disorder in all areas of life; their dwelling places are clean and orderly and there is a flair for decoration in the home and places of work. They are unlikely to disturb the environment with an argument; harmony is important to them. They are more likely to run away and start talking compromise rather than face a stand off.
6’s are tactful and clever and people feel comfortable in opening up to them with their deeply guarded secrets; they know that their secrets will never be revealed to anyone else. It is likely 6’s keep their feelings hidden inside and present the world with a smile.
One strong irritation 6’s experience, is after having started work, they deeply resent having any interruption.
6’s generally have very few close friends, and may live alone at some time in their lives, but they love their homes.

Ultimate number [ Sum of name + Destiny number] 8+2 = 10/1

He ultimately will be aware of his individuality and will gain leadership. As 1 is always independent, alone, it's likely he will stand alone in some way, over some interaction with others. Interestingly he has a 12th house Sun, which gives him a deeply felt connection to the masses.

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 in a natal chart. Often people recognise this soul energy as describing their "nature".
A second ray group that creates synthesis out of polarized opposites, by using the energies of love and wisdom.
A female energy that is inclined towards co-operation, philanthropy and teaching others. This soul group energy makes a person stand out in a crowd, even if they wish to retire from public scrutiny and hide, in which case the energy creates even more attention for them.
A person born to this soul group is bound to take a meaningful place in society. Something about their life will make them stand out from others by their actions.
This soul group is about sharing the inner life without embarrassment; possibly those who are born to this group are going to be involved with controversial issues in their careers. The conflict may be of a public nature or some private aspect of their life. Whatever the life plan is, those with this soul group will not remain uninvolved.
They will be stoic in their cause, making their views known and may stand alone on a certain issue; this issue of independent thought is often part of the turmoil seen in the natal chart.
The group energy despises tyranny of any form.
It is neither gullible or influenced by money, but it is willing to give of itself; often some form of social work is involved in the plan.
The closest aspect is Chiron opposite the North node; indicating that there is pain and healing in interacting with groups. [that as a maverick he goes against the association's wishes]
The heart of the energy picks up Mars/Jupiter midpoint and Jupiter/MC, indicating a fortunate decision and a successful activity that represents the objective in life. Also conjunct the Arabic part of honourable acquaintance indicates those born to this group are respected. Mercury parallel Aldebaran; affects the health and domestic affairs, prominence through mercurial matters, material gain, and many learned friends. (Robson)
Saturn conjunct Aculeus; ready to attack. [Saturn in Tony Blair’s natal chart rules the houses of government defence and security, implying a readiness to attack] Uranus conjunct Saulocin; naivety and overconfidence, or shyness and a tease. MC Parallel Zosma; benefit by disgrace.

In summary, the soul group energy bestows prominence of position and respect to those who are born to it; their life at some time will be subject to sharing something of their personal inner life.
A native will stand alone over some issue which will bring controversy and turmoil in their life; it may well be related to that of tyranny associated in other's social welfare.
The aim of the soul group is to bring about synthesis in the areas of polarisation in society.
The numerology gives further understanding to the soul group energy and how it is used.
The number 2 destiny number reveals Tony Blair makes his own unique personal mark upon the world. His number 8 name indicates he will make some profound judgement at some time, backed up by the soul group and the number 6 psychic number reveals it is to be an act of humanity and service for other people; a release from tyranny.

Natal Chart

Tony Blair’s life path is ruled by Scorpio and the planets Pluto and the Moon.
Scorpio rules the intercepted sixth house and is placed in the 5th house. This shows a military strategist. [protector of social functions, economy through speculation]
The 5th house is about speculation and the 6th associated with trade unions, armies and national defence. Because Scorpio is usually associated with war, I would read this as some speculative action regarding the national defence.
Because Pluto’s descending node conjuncts Chiron in the 9th house, and makes a quincunx aspect to Chiron too, it can be seen that any action taken will not be productive for him; it’s a no win situation, an unresolved matter. He will not win any favours.
Pluto squaring the Sun also shows it to be an unpredictable action taken.
Tony Blair’s life path states that he would dominate by intellect, having the ability to conceive and order thoughts and project these structured ideas onto the world.
He becomes entangled in circumstances that are not created by himself, and he does not see those circumstances as being separate from himself. [something he could walk away from] He uses his huge, complex and dominating intellect to bring order to the world.
He sees everything as raw material for some structure he has in mind. He speaks with certainty; confident that the constructions which he places on events will strike others not only as the most original, but also the most appropriate possible.
His contributions are timely, regardless of the past and future without emotional attachment. He is to dominate current events by force of intellectually complex arguments. This means he dominates the leadership through the force of his arguments, not particularly seeing the existing structures that exist, like the national health service, education etc.; he sees them in a raw state ready to be altered.
The war Britain became entangled in was predicted by "being entangled in circumstances that were not created by himself". He could not see British policies [or himself] as being separate from America’s policies.

In summary, Tony Blair’s life path predicted that he would get caught up in another country's affairs and in taking speculative action by going to war would not win any favours with the British people.
His destiny 2 birth date shows he would put his own individual stamp upon the world and he would not doubt himself while doing it.
The objectivity of his life path is to show loyalty to a self created belief or private set of values; in doing so he willingly accepts an ongoing conflict. So it can be said that by going to war he was being true to his programming, but also that it was against the wishes of the British people and he has to live through that ongoing conflict each day.
His soul group stated that he would stand alone on the issue, and that the conflict would be over the polarization in society. [suppression v freedom]

Sun 15 22 Taurus, ruler of the 5th house in the 12th house.

Shows a strong intellect, horary value +3, good humour, enthusiastic, good at writing/speaking. With this position, Tony Blair is sensitive, astute and imaginative.
He seems to know just how imagination and the unconscious work, building imaginative pictures into the minds of others during his speeches. He is sympathetic and empathic towards others, knowing just what their dreams are made of in essence. This sympathy makes him an expert at guiding others through difficult times and helping them to understand their motivations.
Some people with this position are obsessed with realizing their dreams. It's possible for him to use this talent amorally without a goal, with the result of manipulating the lives of others for their own belief. [going it alone regarding the war]
In a more personal way he may have a career or marriage that is less than ideal.
Life changes when he treats others objectively and ethically.
He possibly had a difficult or traumatic experience as a child, which he overcame with great courage and tenacity; the insights he gained then would have helped him during the rest of his life.
Being born on the 6th, he uses these former insights, compassion and empathy in service to others in society. His highly sensitive nature makes him prone to emotional instability and to physical discomfort and pain.
He is always striving to overcome obstacles. He might be compulsive in structuring every moment of his time.
He will always take the side of the underdog or victim, and he can be depended upon in difficult emotional situations for his wisdom and courage. The weaknesses of this position are being overly emotional, suffering in silence and self indulgence.

Moon 11 30 Aquarius, ruler of 3rd and 4th houses in the 10th house

This planet represents the destiny number, his experience along his life path. The Moon is the weakest planet with a horary value of -5, bringing thoughtlessness and impatience into the equation.
In a nutshell this could mean he experiences a big loss through too much optimism. He puts a lot of effort into his career, but suffers from poor emotional states; has heart and knee problems.
Tony Blair’s Moon is in the 10th house of leadership, conjunct the Moon's node, indicating leader of an association. The Moon in Tony Blair’s natal chart rules the 3rd and 4th houses of communications and heritage.
Traditionally the 4th house rules the government party opposition, the common people, so in these terms we can say the 4th house relates to "the Labour party" representative [3rd].
Tony Blair’s purpose was to be the Labour party representative in opposition to the government, and then the prime minister, with opposition within his own party.
Emotionally, this Moon position creates great anxiety which can affect his psychological and physical health; its basis may lie in insecurity. He likes to be appreciated and understood even by a close small set of friends.
He likes to be seen and heard, and will often try to change his image, being alternatively tough and critical or witty and philosophical; he would like to appear profound.
Although he is at the focus of attention and being listened to, he does feel he is not appreciated for himself; the only solution is to be not so dependant on what others think, but project his deeper thoughts and feelings. The strength of this position gives admiration and appreciation, but the negative side is feeling misunderstood by others.

Mercury 26 23 Aries, ruler of 1st 2nd and 6th houses in the 12th house

With an horary value of +7, he is highly intuitive, thoughtful and analytical; he has great inner mental strength, and is knowledgeable on his given subjects. This says "he earns his living through speaking to gatherings, on behalf of an organization, as a servant of the nation, of the workers."
Translated this means he would be a speaker representing the workers of the nation. [Labour party]
Tony Blair keeps his communications as light hearted as possible, giving his words a humorous slant; he is generous in his communications with others and accepting of what comments are returned. He uses laughter as a release from a situation that is uncomfortable or painful. He comes across as very wise, but suffers with a large blind spot, as he is too accepting and understanding to a fault, which allows others to take advantage of him.
In his zeal to do good he overlooks the effects of his permissive actions on those he is helping and those in the community at large too; although tuned into the smallest of details he also makes big errors in judgement, which tend to be in the financial areas. [he is not strongly attached to money; others can take advantage]
He has a way of translating his dreams into concrete reality; he really is a doer, making his projects materialize.
He has a great sense of loyalty to family, friends and country, but will not hesitate to follow his dreams. He takes the plight of his fellow man seriously, truly feeling the deep distress of others.
He forgives others readily, from a non-judgemental stance and accepts setbacks and difficulties with grace.

Venus 15 01 Aries, ruler of intercepted 6th and intercepted 12th houses in 12th

Horary value of -2; shows indecision, and being subservient to another. The intercepted houses describe an action taken.
Numerology shows there could have been a downfall through indecision, by not moving the armed forces and being subservient to other's wishes. He would not have wanted to send the British army in, understanding the personal loss and hurt to the nation.
He is a very sensitive person who understood the decision at the time; remember the destiny 2 trauma from childhood. He knew what he was doing. Nobody in England wanted war.
The armed forces were to bring liberation to another land for another people; an act of sacrifice in service. People did not die in vain; they were collaborators in the quest of liberation for Iraq.
Tony Blair knows that the ability to succeed in life depends on his ability to hang in there. This is why he knows success will come from the armed forces hanging on in Iraq. He presents a composed and self-confident image as he persists in his endeavours, whether others are paying heed or not; he has tremendous powers of concentration to bear on the matter at hand.
As the Venus matters can be long lived, the relationships involved with others can be tempestuous, as he has a dislike of sitting down and talking things out; this often leads to him facing antagonism from those threatened by his direct and forthright approach.
Tony Blair will not compromise his beliefs regardless of the finances; it is more important for him to be successful in implementing his plans. He is a great believer in defending honesty and integrity.
He would leave the question of whether there is a fight or not up to the opponent. Having said that, he never knows when to quit. The strength of this position is through his consistent hard working self leading to success; negatively he may appear overindulgent and repetitive.

Mars 3 27 Gemini, ruler of intercepted 12th house in 12th house

Horary value of +5; adventurous, freedom, adaptable. This again is not personal, but an action taken, a drive to bring freedom to another land.
This position of Mars ensures he has an opinion on every issue under the Sun, but in particular one of social orientation, which can take on being critical; to being revolutionary. He doesn’t leave people in the dark as to where he stands on this issue, but because he was born to a number 2 destiny life path, he is likely to change his viewpoint over time.
This issue of his opinion is not open for a two way discussion, but a matter for others to listen to what he has to say. Because of this, he is subjected to facing merciless satiric criticism.
He associates himself with the underdog, and may ally himself with a political entity or faction which is ultimately unworthy of his support. This position of Mars serves a highly important function in bringing out what has been suppressed in others. All Mars attributes of anger, resentment, and violence are likely to be used.
Once the smoke has cleared and the unpleasantness overcome, the situation will be clarified and improved for all concerned. This position of Mars indicates that Tony Blair will make an ally and take Britain to war in support of the ally.
From the position of Venus we know that he will keep the armed forces hanging in there until his mission is complete, and the suppressed country is liberated.

Jupiter 29 12 Taurus, ruler of 7th and 8th houses in 12th house

Horary value of +1; confident leader, makes a diplomatic partnership in war and then again during regeneration from devastation and disaster; war taxes and international finance. Jupiter refers to the ally in war, as the 7th represents the diplomatic partner, George Bush and also his wife Cherie Blair.
This may be more about Cherie Blair, as Jupiter rules the house of the spouse. Jupiter also represents the law and a judge, which is Cherie Blair’s profession.
This position shows that Cherie Blair and George Bush give great expression; what they think has to be said and expressed by them. It’s about persons who must bring prodigious energies to bear on all those around them.
They both examine the environment and bring subjective ideas to rigorous examination in their analytical minds. [which sounds like weighing up the facts like judges]
Cherie Blair needs to constantly be amused as she gets bored quickly; she may seek entertainment through others which may be why the media sees her as being superficial. Cherie loves travel, globetrotting or just going somewhere; if life gets too frantic she could suffer with a breakdown; she has a lot of nervous energy. [just like George Bush]
She is highly enthusiastic and critical, is quick thinking, but a worry wart that is susceptible to fears. She may jump from one project to another at alarming speed; learning quickly, she seeks out a new challenge.
The strength of this position gives exciting and innovating ideas that are well expressed; negatively, a person who is over talkative and undisciplined.

Saturn 22 21 Libra, ruler of 9th and 10th houses in intercepted 6th house

A career of service in "inspiring the government", leaning towards the defence and security areas in government, by taking interest in the justice system and to take a stand against unjust or ethical behaviour.
This position is all about judgement; Saturn gives the ability to size up a situation quickly and grasp the essence of it quickly. It’s not about preconceived ideas or prejudices, demanding adherence to personal morality; as really this position gives liberal attitudes and an openness to new ideas.
The judgement comes in objectivity, evaluating or assessing someone or something’s worth in real terms. It’s about common sense, using the combination of realism and imagination. It’s also about seeking out the truth of a situation, gaining insight.
Tony Blair tries to live out what he believes; he will either uphold or condemn a social system in which he lives. He condemned the social suppression under a dictatorship regime, which involved mass killings on a whim.
He is not impressed by those who do not live out their beliefs.
The strength of this position is in being discriminating, practical and fair; and negatively in being defensive and difficult. Saturn’s position gave Tony Blair the strength to defeat social injustice.

Uranus 15 17 Cancer, ruler of 11th house in third house

Uranus is most important in Tony Blair’s chart, not only does Uranus symbolize liberation and freedom itself, but it has great relevance in the houses that it rules.
The 11th house is often associated with adoption; in this case Tony Blair has captured the hopes and wishes of the Iraqi people. "Gains, advantages and opportunities in life come from well-placed people; he creates a positive environment with fresh ideas and a hopeful vision for the future."
This placement is about uncovering Iraqi’s inner visions, thoughts and feelings; Tony Blair’s link to the subconscious is very strong, and he has the ability to understand many perverse twists and turns of the human mind. [found in Saddam Hussein]
Tony Blair is rarely surprised by anything, as he himself has a great desire for exposure, revealing the minds of others and he has a way of sounding a common chord with his colleagues.
Tony Blair would be quite a driving force in the social liberation of the foreign country, Iraq. Uranus is important as it rules the house of foreign affairs and legislation in the House of Commons.
For any legislation or action to be taken, Tony Blair would have to go to the House of Commons. The interactions regarding foreign affairs would be represented by Uranus’ attributes of working independently and breaking away. This placement of adoption may also suggest that Britain under Tony Blair would help Iraq in the initial stages of setting up its own government, until Iraq has established itself.

Neptune 21 22 Libra, ruler of 12th house in intercepted 6th house.

Service for liberation. He provides a service overseas, probably in the defence area; there is self improvement and humanitarian efforts; he wins legal battles and successfully challenges fines and penalties. He does his bit towards charitable work for a disaster relief organization.
This indicates that Tony Blair will be a dominant player in life’s great drama; he will give a running commentary over what happens. He has a great personal magnetism over others through his work.
He is likely to come to the world stage by appraising a situation or demonstrating through his own example, rather than administering the details of the operation. He makes a good partner and co-worker, but is likely to be a very controversial figure, agitating others; he speaks his mind openly and bluntly.
The strength of this position is through a person's magnetism, knowledge and provocation.
Neptune shows that Tony Blair will show by example, reflecting his inner beliefs by doing his bit towards disaster relief.

Pluto 20 48 Leo, ruler of intercepted 6th house in 5th house.

He has a militant mind and is involved in military strategy. He is seen as a protector of "children" and has natural abilities in overcoming diseases.
As ruler of the intercepted 6th house, Pluto not only outlines his personal policies and hence that of the government due to his position as prime minister. Pluto is about transforming the situation, through facing conflict.
Tony Blair is destined to face insurmountable odds in his united fight with America to liberate Iraq; he seeks to come out on top and stay there. He seeks to secure a desired position despite the struggles and odds.
It shows that he had a uniquely personal outlook regarding the war. Despite the crushing weight of difficulties and challenges and the opposing odds, he manages to maintain a buoyant disposition to the world. He is highly sensitive to criticism, thinking the worst of himself, but keeps the insecurities to himself, remaining friendly, open and active.
He has a powerful urge to rebel against any form of imprisonment, fascism or oppression. In fact this is his reason for going to war, the oppression of the Iraqi people. He was born to take on this challenge and take great risks.
He would know the right moment to strike and would have no problem in waiting. The strength of this position is the indomitable spirit of courage, and the ability to go for it.

The Moon's node, 6 degrees 54 Aquarius represents what Tony Blair will leave to the world. Historians are likely to see Tony Blair and Britain as being exploited or pushed into war too quickly; that the financial cost expanded precipitously without caution or thought during the liberation of Iraq. The whole war will be seen as being pushed too quickly, sweeping people off their feet. Tony Blair will be seen as a man who believed in himself, but suffered rejection and disappointment through not listening to the opinions of others and that he was over enthusiastic.
It will be seen as a step in humanity's maturing consciousness; the start of a new project so that the Iraqi people may grow without the restrictions of suppression. Tony Blair’s chart clearly shows that his soul purpose was to partner with an ally [George Bush], for reasons that were not justifiable, uphold military occupation and strategies for the soul purpose of liberating that country and society [Iraq] from suppression.
Tony Blair’s reason to go to war was the liberation of the Iraqi people, while George Bush’s reason was to secure oil fields for America's energy requirements; yet both were working towards the same goal, but through different methods.

Could the location of the foreign country be easily located using solar Maps? The ruler of the 11th house is Uranus, which has relevance to foreign affairs and legislature, particularly regarding the elective House of Commons; it also has the symbolism of "liberation", making Uranus the planet to watch.
Looking at Tony Blair’s natal Uranus, it can be seen it cuts right through the city of Baghdad in Iraq, predicting the place of liberation.
