Birth Order Analysis

Learn Your Life Purpose and Flow with Life

A summary of Kathryn Andries’s appearance on the Zen Mommies Radio Show . . .

Ever wonder why you get stressed out and frustrated? In most cases it is because you are not following your life purpose. It is the soul’s way of letting you know you are off course. The cure? Follow your life path. How? Develop and offer your talents to the world, and work through your lessons.

You can uncover your talents and lessons with six intuitive sciences: astrology, palmistry, iris analysis, numerology, past lives, and family birth order. Each one of these sciences does a thorough job of describing your talents and lessons. Your life purpose is about mastering your karmic lessons and developing your gifts and talents. You can then be of service to others by sharing your gifts and talents.

When we understand why we were born with a Pisces Sun sign or a Jewel iris, we unlock the key to our life purpose. Doing the life purpose work gives people courage to pursue their dreams. People also become more aware of their lessons, and stop repeating the same unpleasant scenarios. Life becomes more joyful as we live from our highest purpose.

Mothers can overcome stress by incorporating their talents into their lives. When my daughter took her naps, I would use that time to indulge in writing, my favorite creative outlet. Find time each day between your mommy duties to devote to your talents.

Let’s look at how these sciences can help. The Sun sign on an astrology chart reveals your purpose in life. A mother with a Capricorn Sun sign will have the urge to attain a leadership position in the business world. If she stays at home with her children, she may feel a bit stymied. She should remind herself that this is only temporary, and perhaps can find ways to work from home.

Iris analysis reveals four main iris constitutions and four combination types. A mother with a Flower iris type needs to constantly feed her creativity or she will wilt. Flowers need lots of social events and creative outlets to blossom. A Flower child may struggle in school with the more technical subjects, and so the parents can consider placing the child in a school focused on the arts.

Palmistry reveals our personality through the shape of the palm. A fire palm person is impulsive and full of energy. A mother with a fire child will need to realize this child’s need for physical activity. The mother also needs to teach the child patience, and the importance of thinking before taking action.

Birth order is extremely helpful for mothers. The birth order position of each child describes many of his/her personality traits. A firstborn girl is known as the queen, and likes to have many responsibilities. She is the daughter that wants to help Mom clean the house and prepare dinner. Meanwhile, the second-born girl is the mystical, imaginative child that likes to spend time alone. Give this child a set of paints or musical instruments, and she will be happy.

Numerology, an easy science to learn, offers us a wealth of information. If a mother feels frustrated or lost, she needs to calculate her life path number to see what she is here to do. Then she can begin to incorporate activities associated with her life path. If she has a life path one, then she can practice being more authoritative with her children and take a greater role in managing the household.

Lastly, the study of past lives reminds us that although young children seem so new, they are really old souls who lived many lifetimes. They come into this life with a wealth of information that can help them with their current lifetime. Parents are often amazed when their children share wisdom with them that no one taught them. This is a reminder that they are old souls and need to be treated with respect so that they may flourish.

Listen in to the program here:

It’s Daddy’s Fault!

Are you your father’s second son? Third daughter?

We display certain traits based on gender and birth order. Birth order is determined by the father, not the mother. To determine your birth order, write down the list of children born to your father, and indicate where you are in the sequence.

Note that a child that survives 16 weeks of gestation is part of the birth order sequence even if it is not brought to term.

A father’s first six boys and first six girls conform to a pattern in their approach to life. The pattern begins again with child No. 7, who assumes the qualities of a firstborn child. Child No. 8 would assume the qualities of a No. 2 child, and so on.

A birth order analysis* will show your gifts and talents as well as your potential for genius.

Currently birth order analysis is only available to students enrolled in the Discover Your Life Purpose course level I and II, or the Spiritual Relationships class. In person family and birth order consultations are available upon request.

Birth Order Analysis — An Example

Here’s an example of an analysis showing birth order and characteristics for a firstborn girl.

From a young age, you willingly took on a lot of responsibility. You most likely enjoyed helping your mother around the house and cooking. You had two younger siblings you cared for while your mother worked, so you grew up quickly and weren’t able to enjoy your childhood.

Your decision to have three children at an early age is linked to your firstborn characteristics: The firstborn girl wants to be in charge and maternal. You’re comfortable at home with domestic duties and caring for your children.

Now, at age 40, you feel rebellious. After many years of domesticity, coupled with being too serious during your childhood, you feel like breaking free. You were the one to heal the entire family. You may have felt burdened with this responsibility and not known how to express it.

Call on your gifts of strength, practicality, and teaching ability to get you through this period. Your challenge is to be responsible and playful at the same time.
