366 Australian Birthdays
Once you have a solid paradigm on which to base your AstroNumerology, you need reliable data to flesh it out and bring it to life. As with any science, reliable data is the cornerstone of AstroNumerology. 366 Australian Birthdays is a contribution to the data pool available to astrologers and numerologists alike. It comes from the much larger Pan's Script data base. Several brilliant Australians that have been omitted from this list are included elsewhere in the Correspondence Course.
It's difficult to secure 4-star data in Australia because the recording of the birth time is not compulsory, although it is now common in the bigger hospitals. And people change their names, so that unless you see recorded evidence, you cannot be sure you've got it the original one. By 4-star data I mean: correct Date, Time, Place and Original Name. By using this system, you know exactly where you stand with the data. I am constantly seeking to improve my data base, so if you see any mistakes or can fill in any gaps, please contact me at whitelk@bigpond.com
This is my system :
* Date of Birth only
*P = Date of Birth & Place only
*A = DOB, Time & Place but the Original Name is problematic or uncertain
** DOB & Original Name but the time and place are unknown to me
**P = Date of Birth, Name and Place but the time is unknown to me
*** Date of Birth, Name & Time but the place is unknown to me
**** Date of Birth, Time, Place and Original Name
Where the Birth Time has been previously researched, I add the Rodden system of rating the reliability of the data :
AA = Certificate in hand (in Australia 's case this includes the hospital tag)
A = Data comes from a reliable source such as the person themselves or their mother
B = Data from a biography or autobiography
C = Caution – the source of the data is unknown
DD = Dubious data or double-data – there is more than one birth time on record
X = Time unknown (NB: this rating has not been given to data that has not been researched to find out whether the time is known or not)
XX = Time unknown and date uncertain
The Code for the Source of Information is included at the end of the Birthday List.
Some of the 4-star Birthdays have a button attached. Labeled ANS, this will take you to a chart that represents a combination of the astrological and numerological factors of the person's birth data. It is like a horoscope with more detail. So that charts can be easily compared, the AstroNumberScope always begins at Zero Degrees Aries and follows the Pan's Script system of correspondences.
The inner ring contains the Date Path and Birthday (1-12)
Between it and the next ring are the notches of the Date Chart.
Into the second ring is placed the Sun, Moon and Natal Moon Phase.
And into the third ring go the planets, along with the North and South Lunar Nodes .
Into the fourth ring is placed the Name Data: Vowel, Consonant, Name and Growth Numbers. The outer ring is where the numerological progressions are placed i.e., the Bases and Attainments.
