In Support of Handwriting Analysis

Share Button

Skeptics of handwriting analysis say they want statistics on the validity of handwriting analysis, such as those involving published medical studies. Yet time and time again the outcomes of such scientific studies are proved unreliable due to bias (e.g., the study that found the drug superior was sponsored by the company that makes it).

Or, skeptics suggest that a handwriting analysis study should be “peer-reviewed.” However, there are many studies showing that peer review doesn’t enhance the accuracy of scientific work at all.

Even so, if they insist on scientific reviews, there exist many involving the science of handwriting analysis. The best anyone can do is to conduct objective empirical investigations, such as the ones here (extensive list–over 200, many from the past decade–of scientific papers published in non-graphological peer-reviewed journals since 1950): http://tinyurl.com/4cx3nf

You can’t prove that something has scientific validity. But you can prove a practice invalid. So far, handwriting analysis (or comprehensive astrology, or comprehensive numerology, etc.) has yet to be proven invalid. The above studies very firmly lend authenticity to the science of graphology.

An aside, handwriting analysts never claim 100% accuracy, and there doesn’t exist any psychological assessment tool that is 100% accurate.

Handwriting analysis is a valid supplement to other testing methods. It’s extremely useful in determining if a job applicant fits a job description, thereby saving the company time and money, along with helping to reduce security risks. It does not, however, directly predict the success of the applicant on the job.

Handwriting analysis is also extremely effective in assessing already existing employees’ strengths and challenges. It can go a long way in helping to improve workplace productivity and morale by uncovering true abilities and compatibility.

Reasonable levels of accuracy are assured if the graphologist has extensive training, such as by earning certification from a respected handwriting analysis school. An analyst knowledgeable in both trait-based and  holistic approach graphology is best, rather than only one of the two methodologies.

A graphologist’s analysis is relative to the time the handwriting sample was written. Although it’s possible for a person’s script to change somewhat over time, the basic structure (organization, form, zonal balance, spacing, etc.) most often remains the same. But it is a good idea to have the person offer an updated writing sample for a current analysis if the person has gone through some major life changes, or if the last analysis they had done was when they were 23, and they are now 43, for example.

For those who are still skeptical of graphology, recall that many respected scientists in the earlier part of the twentieth century insisted that psychology could not be a science. It took decades for psychology to be accepted as the valid science it is today.

The U.S. Library of Congress catalogues graphology (handwriting analysis) books in the psychology, document examination, and personnel screening categories.

“Graphologist” (handwriting analyst) is listed in the U.S. Department of Labor’s Directory of Occupational Titles (DOT) as “miscellaneous professional.”

The U.S. Department of Labor Dictionary of Occupational Titles lists the profession of graphologist (handwriting analyst) as follows: http://tinyurl.com/52wb9u 199.267-038 GRAPHOLOGIST Analyzes handwriting to appraise personal characteristics: Obtains handwriting specimen to observe overall appearance of writing and detailed formation of letters. Measures height of letters and slant of writing, using calibrated templates. Observes individual writing strokes to determine unique or distinguishing characteristics, using ruler and low-power magnifying glass or microscope. Evaluates handwriting sample and interprets findings, according to theories of handwriting analysis. May use diagram to plot writing characteristics. GOE: 02.04.01 STRENGTH: S GED: R4 M3 L3 SVP: 6 DLU: 89 Evidence of handwriting analysis having done harm in personnel selection or in other applications in the workplace is non-existent.

Over 300 handwriting indicators must be considered in doing a thorough analysis. Some of the more notable considerations are as follows: consistency; compression; down-strokes; elaboration; expansion; finals; fluidity; form; harmony; lead-ins; loops; margins; movement; organization; pressure; rhythm; signature compared to the rest of script; size; slant; overall arrangement and picture of space; spacing (letter, word, line, etc.); speed; zonal balance and much more.

Does any single consideration, such as excessive elaboration, override the cumulative strength of the collective body of other considerations? No.

All of the hundreds of indicators in a handwriting sample collectively either support or reduce the energy of any one consideration. Any single indicator must be corroborated by other indicators. The analyst weighs individual considerations and then views them in the context of the entire writing sample; the sample is dissected then re-built into a profile outlining the personality.

Graphology is grounded in common sense. For example, pressure of handwriting is symbolic of emphasis in speech; size is representative of how much attention you want; slant is how you react (left = withdrawal, right = outwardly expressive); writing movement is how you act (e.g., appears to be moving forward quickly equates to high drive, etc.); and signature could be interpreted as how you want others to view you. Handwriting is like mind-writing and handwriting analysis is a mind interpretation method.

Graphology is a valid, ethical approach to help define a person’s abilities and challenges, and it can help employers run their businesses more efficiently (before and after hiring). It can also be used by parents, singles, couples, teachers, and anyone else who is seeking more understanding about themselves and others.

5 More Handwriting Analysis Concerns Addressed

Share Button

Handwriting analysis (graphology) shows how a person thinks and acts, along with their emotional balance, maturity, and much more. It denotes past conduct and displays potential for future behavior.

The fascinating thing about handwriting analysis is that you can interpret beyond the persona; subconscious personality is revealed.

Common mistaken beliefs about handwriting analysis abound, such as that it involves only scrutiny of the signature or how attractive the script appears.

Below we deal with five common concerns about the science of graphology.

Concern:
“My writing looks horrible! Will this rule me out?”

Answer:
No. How your writing actually looks (form, etc.) is only one indicator of hundreds. Don’t worry. There are highly skilled and talented people throughout history who have messy-looking handwriting. The world is also replete with sociopaths who have very attractive-looking handwriting.

Concern:
“What if I have a physical limitation, such as arthritis that limits my handwriting?”

Answer:
Handwriting analysts take any physical limitation into consideration. As we list on our handwriting sample form, “Please explain any physical limitation that affects your handwriting…If you are using medication that you feel might alter your handwriting in any way, please say so and list the medication.” We also state on our “How to Prepare a Handwriting Sample” document, “Please state if you have suffered any emotional or physical trauma during the last year that might affect your handwriting,” and take such things into consideration when doing the analysis.

Concern:
“What if my handwriting changes depending on the writing instrument and the surface on which I’m writing?”

Answer:
A well-trained handwriting analyst gives specific directions to the person writing the handwriting sample to avoid any such concerns. Please see “How to Prepare a Handwriting Sample”. In this document, we ask that you use a regular ball-point pen, unlined paper, be seated comfortably at a desk or table, and write at least a half page, among other advice.

Also, most of the 300+ indicators of your handwriting change far less than you realize no matter with what or on what you are writing.

Concern:
“If artists can alter their handwriting when they want, doesn’t this mean it’s not a useful personality assessment tool?”

Answer:
If a person is applying for a job and they are told that as part of the hiring process they will be asked to submit a handwriting sample, and the sample directions list the following (among other requests): “The writing sample should be done in your normal writing style while you are comfortably seated at a table or desk. If you habitually print, then please also include a paragraph of cursive writing. If you normally have several styles of writing, you may also include samples of each,” then chances are they will not attempt to alter their usual script. Even if they do, a good analyst can spot affectation and bluff. By attempting to significantly alter his or her writing, the writer also would risk misrepresenting themselves to the detriment of appearing to not be a match for the job.

Concern:
“According to the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, handwriting analysis might seem to be discriminatory since if anyone who has a disability cannot take a test, then nobody can; evaluations that can’t be adapted for use by those who are disabled, such as a blind person, can’t be used by a potential employer.”

Answer:
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has stated, “We are not aware of any evidence or cases which suggest that graphology has an adverse impact on a protected class.”

Anyone who can write a few paragraphs of spontaneous writing, even if it is with their foot or mouth holding the pen, can have their handwriting analyzed. Despite what some might claim, a handwriting analyst can’t distinguish sex, sexual orientation, race, age, weight, height, religion, or marital status from a handwriting sample. Handwriting analysis might just be the most non-discriminatory personality profiling method in existence. Firm correlations between specific protected classes and handwriting analysis indicators have not been identified.

An employer should make sure that every job applicant submits a handwriting sample, whether or not that applicant’s handwriting sample is to be analyzed, if the employer plans to analyze handwriting as a form of evaluation for the job.

We advise the utilization of graphology as one of the most valuable forms of character analysis available.

Handwriting Analysis–6 Concerns Addressed

Share Button

Handwriting analysis is the scientific investigation of handwriting to determine personality characteristics.

Although handwriting analysis is gaining in popularity, many misconceptions exist about this complex form of personality analysis.

Below we address six common concerns about handwriting analysis:

Concern:
“If behavioral scientists had found it to be a valid tool, then they would have done so by now and it would be commonly used.”

Answer:
Human behavioral studies involving handwriting analysis exist and it has been found to be a valid tool. More than 200 scientific papers have been published in non-graphological peer-reviewed publications in the last 58 years: http://tinyurl.com/4cx3nf

Also, handwriting analysis is already commonly used in the workplace (and elsewhere) at this time, although it is more popular in Europe than it is in America.

Concern:
“As a candidate for a job, I want to be considered due to my experience and talent, not the results of some examination of my signature.”

Answer:
Your signature (and how it relates to the rest of your script) is only part of what is analyzed. At least a half page handwriting sample is best to properly analyze handwriting.

We and other respected professionals advise employers to hire based on a person’s experience, talent, and the results of personality testing methods, which indicate whether someone has the mindset for a particular job. We recommend the use of a range of evaluations (e.g., graphology in conjunction with other psychological testing methods), in addition to the interview to determine a person’s fit for the demands of any particular job.

As we say on our handwriting sample forms, “Decisions will not be made based only on the results of the graphological analysis, but in conjunction with the interview process, decision-maker observations, and other information.”

Concern:
“What if 10 different handwriting analysts interpret a person’s script 10 different ways? Isn’t there a problem with interpretation?”

Answer:
We recommend employers hire well-trained graphologists, such as those who have earned certification from a respected handwriting analysis school. In doing so, the problem of varying interpretations is eliminated.

Concern:
“How does a person’s handwriting tell you ‘this person can or can’t do the job?’ This does not seem like a reasonable tool to help make hiring decisions.”

Answer:
First, through the complex coordination of physical body, the nervous system, and mind function, you express yourself in your writing like no one else. Handwriting is called an expression of your true self because it has been shown to directly link to subconscious character, the real personality behind the public persona. It’s really mind-writing and it’s as unique as your fingerprints. Even twins have different fingerprints and they also have different handwriting, sometimes drastically different, if you delve into the hundreds of indicators used for a comprehensive analysis.

Handwriting analysis doesn’t directly predict the success of a job applicant. However, it does provide infomation about whether or not the applicant is a match for the job based on the job description. Motivtions (e.g., social involvement, recognition, money, etc.), intellect, work habits, communication skills, and emotional foundation are some common areas of assessment.

There are many personality traits that aren’t easy to measure by talking to an applicant, reviewing their resume, and having them take standard personality evaluations. Handwriting analysis is so valuable because it assesses subconscious character, the actual personality, aside from the one presented or witnessed when an individual is at their best. It goes beyond evaluating an applicant just for the job tasks.

Handwriting analysis is particularly useful in determining specific personality traits needed for a job, such as consistency, flexibility, sincerity, emotional maturity, ability to make distinctions, decision-making ability, analytical ability, problem solving ability, ability to cope with stress, objectivity, and much more.

Concern:
“What if handwriting analysis exposes a questionable personality dynamic that you wouldn’t see demonstrated on the job, that is totally unrelated to the position? I’d be concerned that this is an invasion of my privacy.”

Answer:
Established legal precedents exist in relation to handwriting analysis. One U.S. court ruled that your script is “behavior in public” and that using it as the foundation of personality evaluation can’t be viewed as an invasion of privacy. U.S. vs. Hazelwood School District 534 F 2nd 805 states that graphology is “not precluded in hiring if it is related to the job.”

Invasion of privacy hinges on the expectation of privacy, which vanishes when you fill out a job application in your handwriting and acknowledge that the employer will read it. Also, employers understand (e.g., through performance agreements, such as the one we use) that only the employer’s decision-makers (i.e., your interviewer, etc.), those supervisory personnel who have a “need to know,” are entitled to see the results of the analysis. The contents of each profile is kept confidential, as per the client-analyst agreement.

Besides, no ethical handwriting analyst would tell your prospective employer about your possible early-life sexual abuse, for example, because it’s not directly related to the job. It’s the responsibility of the graphologist to focus exclusively on personality traits required for optimum job performance, i.e., identify personality strengths and challenges related to the job position.

Concern:
“The majority of adults entering the workforce today can’t even write. It’s becoming an obsolete skill due to computers.”

Answer:
Although people aren’t writing as much as they used to due to computers, we believe almost everyone can still write, even those who just graduated from high school. Even if they use only printing and not cursive, their script can still be analyzed. It’s very doubtful the ability to write will become totally obsolete.

We recommend handwriting analysis as one of the most effective forms of personality analysis in existence.

Handwriting Analysis: Some Elaboration is Healthy & Perfect Penmanship Isn’t

Share Button

Elaborate handwriting, including lots of embellishment such as unnecessary loops, curves, spirals, underlining, circles, wavy lines, and other forms is an important, and telling, handwriting analysis consideration.

Handwriting analysis, or graphology, is so informative because it reveals subconscious character, the real personality, not just the persona and the one seen when a person is at his or her best.

The U.S. Library of Congress classifies graphology as a branch of psychology.

All in all, there are over 300 handwriting traits to consider when doing an analysis. Some of the more obvious ones include the following: connectives; connectivity; consistency; contradictions in script; compression; contraction/expansiveness; down-strokes; elaboration; expansion; finals; fluidity; form; harmony; hooks; jabs; knots; lead-ins; legibility; loops; margins; movement; organization; originality; pressure; retracing; rhythm; shading; signature compared to the rest of script; simplicity; size; slant; overall arrangement and picture of space; letter, word and line spacing; speed; spirals; tension; ties; zonal balance and much more.

Does any single consideration, such as the excessive elaboration, override the cumulative strength of the collective body of other considerations? No.

The collective body of traits in a handwriting sample either supports or mitigates the energy of any one individual aspect.

Also, in order for a specific graphology trait to accurately reflect personality, it must be throughout the handwriting sample at least three to four times to qualify.

Accuracy in graphology demands that the context of the entire writing sample be considered and that all individual aspects and parts of the script must be interpreted independently and then built into a complete picture describing the personality.

Also, you need at least a half page of cursive handwriting and not just a signature if you want to start on the right track.

For the highest level of accuracy in handwriting analysis, formal graphology training is recommended. However, we created our Graphology Resource Keys for anyone  to gain a very good understanding of their own or other’s subconscious character simply by comparing a handwriting sample to the Keys.

Copybook form, or “perfect handwriting,” varies somewhat from country to country and it’s best to be familiar with the standard copybook form of the country in which the person learned to write.

It’s good if your handwriting is not perfect, because you don’t want perfect handwriting. It’s natural to gradually move away from the basic copybook form you learned in grade school to develop your own unique style.

Just as everyone has a unique personality, everyone has unique handwriting. Aristotle remarked, “Spoken words are the symbols of mental experience and written words are the symbols of spoken words. Just as all men do not have the same speech sounds, so do all men not have the same writing.”

Adults who write in copybook form (considering there is corroborating energy from the rest of the handwriting considerations) strive to follow all rules exactly and abide by all laws. They are usually conformists, traditional, and inhibited. They commonly carry guilt and repression is customary. Hence, “perfect” handwriting is far from perfect.

If your handwriting has a lot of originality with high form level (good balance, movement, harmony, etc.) and other positive traits, it could indicate flexibility, resourcefulness, confidence, inward motivation, and possible leadership skills.

On the other hand, if you see originality in an off-balanced, inharmonious script (low form level), you could find rebelliousness, defiance, turmoil, confusion, dishonesty, and even psychosis or criminal-minded behavior.

Spirals are generally a negative sign relating, in part, to deception or self-deception.

Normal elaboration includes longer than usual t-bars and finals at the end of words, for example.

Excessive elaboration, such as artificial flourishes, many added strokes, long lower zone length (loops of letters such as lower case g and j), etc. could indicate an ostentatious personality with a need to impress others, a need for drama, flirtatiousness, vanity, exaggeration, bluff, a mind too rooted in fantasy, insincerity, a need to be told they are loved, façade of intrigue to mask an inferiority complex, possible deception, scattered energy, affectation, defense for self-consciousness, unstable self image, too much focus on trivial matters, and difficulty concentrating.

As the level of inharmoniousness increases with excessive elaboration, the negative traits listed above will also intensify.

If you see excessive elaboration mainly in the upper zone (e.g., where the t’s are crossed), which is the zone of the intellect, you may find someone whose thinking is ruled by illusion, and even someone who is a compulsive liar.

But remember, although it’s alluded to above, it’s important enough to say again: no single graphology indicator, by itself, absolutely describes any one personality trait.

Yes, straight-across, blunt ending strokes can indicate cautiousness, but there could be ten or more other indicators in a person’s script that would mitigate the notion.

If you find elaboration that is excessively complicated, especially with many complicated circle letters, such as a and o, it could point toward someone who is trying to hide something, even if it’s on an unconscious level and not in an intentionally deceptive way.

Look to the zone of handwriting for more clues to what the excessive elaboration with inharmonious handwriting indicates: in the lower zone (where the loops of letters such as g and j reside) it’s an imbalance relating to sexuality, social life, materialism, and physical energy, among others; in the middle zone (where letters such as n, m, and o reside) it’s an imbalance in practicality, daily routine, here-and-now, ego, consciousness and more; and in the upper zone (where the t-bar, tops of t’s, and h’s reside) it’s an imbalance in mental, intellectual, philosophical, literary interests, the imagination, and more.

When you see a Hollywood star’s signature that has over-the-top elaboration, if the rest of his or her script is much more subdued, it’s a sign of pretentiousness.

Alternatively, elaboration with positive indicators is favorable. With harmonious handwriting it can symbolize charm, healthy imagination, and originality.

Cheating Boyfriend’s Handwriting: True Personality is Revealed Through Handwriting Analysis

Share Button

How do you know if your lover is telling the truth?

Perhaps the only way to know for sure is to catch him or her with another lover.

Alternatively, while graphology (handwriting analysis) provides insight about potential current and future behavior, it won’t give you a definitive yes or no that he or she is cheating and being dishonest.

However, it’s possible to get an extremely clear idea of a person’s true personality, such as if they lack integrity. In order to do this, that person would need to write at least a 1/2-3/4 page of spontaneous writing about his or her current romantic situation. Indications such as insincerity and integrity issues showing up throughout the writing sample could give you a good idea about his or her actions.

Graphology is so informative because it reveals subconscious character, the real personality, not just the persona and the one seen when a person is at his or her best.

Relating to romantic relationships, a good handwriting analysis can tell you if a person fears commitment, avoids conflict, lacks a good sense of discernment (necessary to identify and understand personality and relationship issues), is emotionally mature or immature, is impulsive, fears intimacy, is restless, is self-conscious, lacks self-esteem and ego strength, has an excessive interest or disinterest in sex, fears success, fears trusting others, has a tendency to withdraw, and much more.

The topic of dishonest lovers brings up an important point about honesty in our society. Too many people think that if no one finds out that they lied, robbed, or cheated, they “got away with it.”

In reality, the eyes of truth are always watching, so everything you do and say creates karma and comes back to you. We’ve seen it played out repeatedly through past life regression, and we are convinced that there exists an automatic accountability system in this universe; everyone really does reap what they sow.

Handwriting Analysis: What a Handwriting Analyst Can Tell You About Your Lover

Share Button

A well-trained graphologist (handwriting analyst) can certainly identify personality strengths, challenges, and potential relationship problems, but he/she won’t tell you if you should marry or not. That decision is up to you.

Before committing to a life together (as with traditional marriage), two people would help themselves by also seriously considering who they really are (aside from all societal programming and conditioning), why they are here on Earth, and what it is that their higher-selves (souls) have chosen to experience. Graphology, meditation, and regression therapy are effective ways to know the who and comprehensive astrology and numerology open the door to the what and why.

It’s rare for modern-day couples to give much thought to themselves and their relationships before committing, legally or otherwise. It’s much more common to leap before looking in matters of the heart and we see this as “by design” so that we all put ourselves in the positions necessary to fulfill spiritual contracts, many of which include difficulties.

For those interested in and possibly fated for a more cautious approach, graphology (handwriting analysis) offers tremendous personality and relationship insight.

Comprehensive numerology and astrology are good for personality analysis, but our findings indicate that graphology offers a deeper look into subconscious personality.

A well-trained graphologist can indicate if a person is emotionally stable or volatile, honest or insincere, enthusiastic or depressed, in good health or unwell, intellectually sharp or slow-witted, artistic or analytical, sedentary or physically active, closed or open-minded, extroverted or introverted, tense or relaxed, immature or mature, and much more.

Some of the more important areas of interest a graphologist examines in relation to romantic compatibility are as follows: emotional maturity, integrity, honesty, sincerity, need for variety, level of interest in sex, communication skills (including listening skills), level of self-esteem, critical analysis/sense of discernment (effectiveness in identifying and understanding personality relationship issues), acquisitiveness (desire for money and material things), and financial extravagance/irresponsibility.

Since sex and money seem to be the root of many couple’s problems, most certified graphologists apply complex protocols to efficiently identify core issues. For example, financial issues are frequently linked with some of the following graphologically discernible personality traits: impulsiveness, lack of discipline, lack of control, extreme sensuousness, and distorted generosity.

Furthermore, graphologists consider the following traits to be some of the more destructive common red flags that challenge personal relationships: argumentativeness, domineering/controlling disposition, evasiveness, intolerance, vanity, withdrawal, reticence, drug and alcohol problems, fear of intimacy, denial, self-deception, and rationalization.

Note that graphology assesses conscious and subconscious character, so the graphologist is able to outline the real, prevailing personality; the one that shows up while under stress, not only the one displayed when on one’s best behavior.

A comprehensive handwriting analysis can indicate potential for future behavior, but in most cases, for instance, not that your mate is cheating right now. Still, it is possible to get a very good idea whether or not the subject is cheating if that person writes a reasonable sample (at least ¾ of a page) of
spontaneous handwriting, and writes specifically about his/her faithfulness/sincerity and his/her current relationship/partner. If he/she is in fact cheating, indications of integrity issues/insincerity would likely show up in the analysis.

When considering a long term commitment and/or marriage, it’s also important to acknowledge that permanence does not exist when it comes to relationships here on Earth. All bonds must dissolve at some point and fate guarantees (as can be identified and tracked through comprehensive numerology and astrology) whether a connection is to last only a day, endure a lifetime, or some period of time in between. Almost everyone wants an ideal match with which to spend the rest of his/her life. Knowing this while accepting that not all relationships are meant to be long-term can help minimize disappointment and heartache.

We would advise anyone to follow their heart, yet squarely face the truth that higher-self (soul) plans are frequently in contrast with ego-self (conscious personality) plans. Becoming aware of and aligning yourself with your true self and highest path pay deep dividends in the long run, although it’s not easy to give up many of those ego-self demands and expectations.

Our easy to use (even without a certified graphologist designation) Graphology Resource Keys and Graphology Trait-Based Guide offer tremendous personality and compatibility insight.

Numerology, Astrology & Graphology – Tools to Further Understanding, Thus Love, in Relationships

When working with numerology, it’s good to consider your interpretation of what the aspects reflect, yet it’s also a good idea to remain detached from the analysis. Being detached from it all is not easy, but with practice you’ll be able to do it.

There are two different paths you could take with the powerful insight gained from comprehensive graphology, numerology, and astrology. You could choose to avoid anyone who represents a challenge, as seen through the charts and handwriting samples, or you could chose to remain open to everyone and the inherent lessons in each love relationship, friendship, and family connection.

For a long time we would not ask a person’s birth data (anyone we met, including romantic possibilities) until after we got to know the person better. Almost always, we would end up correctly sensing the core of the compatibility energy between us and the other person before we knew their birth data. We’re at the point where we can feel “what is” between us and another person, as reflected in the aspects. Very often it is as obvious as connecting a dark, moon-lit sky to night instead of day.

In our professional and personal lives if a person appears to have their head on straight and is not a risk to our well-being, we tend to proceed with the connection and not just avoid them, regardless of what we see in the charts and handwriting.

We could simply avoid interaction with certain individuals because the aspects (on a personality level and through compatibility) are not supportive of anything with an “easy flow” whatsoever. Instead, we most often remain detached from the charts, gave the person the benefit of the doubt, stay open for the lessons, and end up experiencing exactly what we previewed in the charts.

This is far from a self-fulfilled prophesy since we do everything we can to make it work and strive to see them in the most positive and objective light. Graphology, numerology, astrology and the other esoteric sciences, when interpreted and used correctly, simply represent truth.

However easier life becomes by avoidance of certain people, it’s often more rewarding through personal growth to embrace any type of connection, even those that are inherently very difficult.

We feel the best plan of action is to know “what is” between you and others and to use that understanding for personal development. However, that’s not to say that you can’t use your knowledge to select the best option, when you have more than one possibility.

Life is Measurable Through Astrology, Numerology, and Handwriting Analysis

Some people have a more challenging time meeting compatible romantic partners than others. Patterns in numerology and astrology charts symbolize life circumstances. Whenever we see patterns in a person’s charts representing tough love energy, their actual love life circumstances always match the energy. As above, so below.

Our work has convinced us that at least 75% of the key circumstances and events in everyone’s life are fated. Finances, love life, family, recognition, adversity, and more.

Some creative (i.e., subjective) modern astrologers might say, “Well, if things are bad in your love life at the present, just transform your ‘fate into destiny,’ and your ‘limitations into gifts;’ make it your destiny to have a good love life now, and ‘unleash the power of your soul’ while ‘delivering grace to the world.’”

Yes, it’s nice to spread light to the world, so to speak, but you can’t cheat fate, no matter how much effort and time you put into “creating your destiny.”

If you’re fated to experience a long spell of challenging romantic energy, no amount of inspiration and New Age myth will change that. However, you can change how you deal with it, looking at it from a spiritual perspective, therefore making it easier to handle.

By the way, fate and destiny are the same thing. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Destined circumstances and events/fated circumstances and events—same concept.

You have free will in how you handle your personal fate/destiny and how you make the most of your karma, within the confines of your fate/destiny.

If the creative, modern astrologers put aside the affectation, cheerleading and psycho-babble, and actually carried out the comprehensive delineation and prediction typical of seasoned astrologers who are devoted to their work (rather than striving mostly for the limelight and book sales) they would be singing a different tune.

Additionally, know that the following are best avoided if you want value for your money, rather than mere entertainment: Astrologers who treat the natal figures exclusively as maps of the subject’s subconscious and avoid real issues, and the timing of such, and otherwise deny the cold, hard realities of life; astrologers who use mainly infrequent cycles such as transits and secondary progressions and retrogrades (which are best used for minor modifications only); astrologers who use almost exclusively Ptolemaic aspects (conjunctions, squares, sextiles, etc.) in delineation; and astrologers who avoid comprehensive charting, using only a limited number of considerations (unless they have remarkable, consistently strong psychic ability).

Tough love life circumstances do exist recurrently for many people. Often times, thankfully, their love timing eventually improves greatly and if the overall natal structure looks good for love, the subject will have romantic success.

Until that time, it’s an opportunity to prepare for what is to come. It’s a good time to look into potential subconscious blocks that may hinder one’s love life. A great way to do that is through handwriting analysis. Comprehensive handwriting analysis exposes hidden behavioral forms in the unconscious mind, including fears and defenses, and it’s more reliable than modern, psychological astrology.

It’s very possible a person has zero conscious awareness that his or her subconscious personality would, for example, rather avoid anything more than superficial interaction with others. Furthermore, he or she may think they want marriage, but their subconscious personality views it as prison.

Hence, there is a constant, hidden battle waging between the conscious and subconscious, and the subconscious prevails.

Good news: simply by knowing about the hidden demands of your unconscious makeup will begin to set you free.

The numerology and astrology timing charts don’t make things happen, but they do represent what is predestined; the types of circumstances, events, challenges and rewards that your soul sets up for your earthly personality.

Your timing for career and money success gets much better in the near future, so it looks as if you are destined to have a decent job. Six to eight months from now you’ll likely be securely employed. Just remember that it’s important to consistently take action (exercise free will) to manifest this strong probability; do what you have to do to get where you’d like to be.

Despite your numerology and astrology timing in most of the first quarter of the year being very challenging for acquiring a new job, you’ve already experienced the most trying energy and your career aspects throughout the rest of the year steadily improve. The best months for your career this year are July and September. In fact, we see dynamite career and money aspects for you in late summer of this year. Now, even if you knew nothing of your timing charts, you would have still encountered the same challenging energy during the first quarter and more rewarding energy during the rest of the year–that’s just “what is.” Being centered, detached and tapping into your intuition will help confirm the energy represented in your timing charts.

Based on the birth data you provided, it looks as if you were destined to experience a period without steady employment. There are reasons for everything; maybe this seemingly unfortunate period allowed you to more greatly value being employed, or perhaps you were supposed to focus on a different part of your life for a while. A change of career direction at this time looks to be part of your earthly plan as well. Meditate on the reasons for your current circumstances until you receive answers that feel right. The tools we offer on our web site can further assist you in getting your own answers.

Based on the handwriting sample you submitted (using the science of graphology and covering only some of your more relevant personality traits), you’re understandably fearful of the future, somewhat anxious, and currently frustrated about material interests.

It would also help you to know this about your subconscious personality: you’re not entirely comfortable with accepting abundance in your life. In other words, you sometimes  (subconsciously) block yourself from acquiring money and material things. Although you consciously want more money in your life, your subconscious is consistently saying, “…I’ll pass, I don’t deserve it.”

It would be wise to get in touch with this energy in order to open the door to more prosperity in your life. Simply knowing about it is a great start. Searching for clues about the root cause in meditation and past life regression could help resolve the issue.

On the positive side, your handwriting indicates remarkable stamina, determination and powerful analytical abilities, which will help you accomplish your career goals.

Demonizing the Occult is Misguided

Contrary to what many have been told, metaphysical practices or disciplines such as clairvoyance, numerology, astrology, handwriting analysis, meditation, past life regression, tarot, channeling guides of the Light, and others are very much in harmony with ancient (before the Church) Christian teachings. (Black magic or spells that attempt to manipulate someone in any way, on the other hand, should be avoided at all costs.) Demonizing the occult is misguided. The Church, since its early days, has demonized these practices in an attempt to keep their followers’ focus on Church doctrine instead of elsewhere.

To provide more clarity, we’ve included the following excerpt from our book, Your Love Life and Reincarnation: Why thePast is Affecting Your Present and How to Fix it:

Whether the Bible is to be taken literally or figuratively, there are those who claim that reincarnation was once discussed and accepted. According to Edgar Cayce on Reincarnation by Noel Langley, the Byzantine Emperor Justinian (483–565 A.D.) ‘summoned the Fifth Ecumenical Congress of Constantinople in 553 A.D. to condemn the Platonically inspired writings of Origen.’ These writings apparently referenced the pre-existence of the soul.

“Moreover, according to The Christian Conspiracy by Dr. L. David Moore, the Bible was edited for more than 500 years for political reasons after the crucifixion of Jesus Christ:Although it may be somewhat difficult for some to believe, the Bible in its present form didn’t always exist. In fact, there is a lot of historical evidence which states that the old Testament, in its present form, didn’t exist until some 60 years after the death of Christ; and the New Testament in its present form didn’t exist until almost 300 years after that. The major point to be understood is that the Old Testament upon which so much of early Christianity depended in order to have a historical basis and to become legitimized, didn’t officially exist until well after Christianity had been established and even after much of what later became the New Testament had been written. In addition, one major reason for establishing the Old Testament as canon was because during the first century C.E., Christianity was distorting the historical record in order to enhance their own new religion.’

“In addition to the extensive editing and rewrites of the Bible, there was the influence of the Inquisition or the Holy Calling (1231–1820). This was established by the Papacy to punish anyone who expressed a belief in reincarnation or practiced anything metaphysical that would threaten the universal control of the Church. They proclaimed these beliefs as the work of the devil and any believers were sent to dungeons, tortured, or burned to death. Countless people have died because their beliefs (or beliefs of which they were accused) went against those of the Church, including the many put to death for “witchcraft” from 1484 to 1775.

“Fears of persecution may remain in the subconscious minds of many alive today. We are conditioned to believe that anything metaphysical is invalid in part because ‘inquisitional viewpoints’ still exist.

“Organized religion continues to provide support and structure for those who choose to use it. However, some organized religions, which may be based on fear and guilt, continue to openly condemn and spread misinformation, intentionally or unintentionally, about metaphysics. This is unfortunate, since many have found that both their metaphysical viewpoints and their traditional religious background can exist together peacefully.

Finally, it’s interesting that people who condemn metaphysical practices as “evil” or “dark” usually have no experience with them whatsoever, aside from what they’ve seen in Hollywood movies. The best way to understand the truth of metaphysical practices is by letting go of the fear-based conditioning, adopting a receptive, yet objective viewpoint, and by deciding for yourself, through experience, what is valid and what is not.
