About the Guides

How do I find my birth date money guide?

Use the day of the month you were born, from 1 to 31. The month and year do not change which guide is yours.

What is a root number?

Your birth day reduced to a single digit by adding its digits. The 26th becomes 2 + 6 = 8. The 11th and 22nd are treated as master numbers.

Can I read guides for other people?

Yes. Many readers use the guides to understand the money habits of partners, children, clients, and business partners.
