Letter H

Patience, vision, long-term money and success goals, discipline, hard work, fame, public visibility (or being a reclusive failure); the innovator; what you will be remembered for.

The Eighth Letter of the Alphabet.  Energy Frequency No. 8. (including matrix suggestions and my own musings) Integration, unity and balance; traditional icon for money – and for some – the “Infinity” symbol, including the vision of boundless, limitless, vast possibilities and incorporating glorious rainbows: – imagine and create shimmering rainbows of limitless possibilities around yourself and others! (How this relates to “H” the 8th Letter has now been discussed in full under “Letter-Number Table 8.” on the Header Menu Bar….take a look!)

Although “H’s” can polarize to extreme caution and paralysis, they’re normally fearless risk-takers fired with determination and often the first to do something outstanding or unique.

Some Examples:

Heinrich Hertz (with three “H’s”) discovered radio waves in 1886.

Sir Edmund Hilary was the first man to climb Mt. Everest (tallest mountain in the world).

Elias Howe patented the sewing machine in 1896.

Hugh Maston Hefner’s “Playboy” magazine fueled the new sexual freedom after world war II — and now at the end of that liberated era comes Dr. David Ho’s revolutionary AIDS research!

Money and fame often team together in the “H” energy; sometimes, they inherit it, as in the case of the young Howard Hughes – who just went on to make more money, or they possess a brilliant head for business and promotion like early skating star Sonja Heini from Norway.  Combine the money aspect with “H’s” futuristic energy and you get careers in projected trends and finance – like the truly unique Barbara Marx Hubbard, a leading social and spiritual visionary.

Letter “H” governs concepts of time and all things connected to time management and efficiency – including the question of patience. “How long will it take me to achieve this, what will I have to do to get from here to there??” These time-scripts involve dreams, ambitions and plans for the future, with the determination, hard work and discipline needed to make them come true; it’s also about learning and persisting through restrictions and limitations. (Astrologically, “H” quintessentially fits the energy of Saturn.)

Note: talented singer-actress Lena Horne flourished during the turbulent years when black artists were struggling for and receiving very little recognition; then, several decades later in her 80′s, the self-affirmed “late-bloomer” remained beautiful, talented and successful!  Consider another astonishing “late bloomer,” the brilliant (and ill fated) concert pianist David Helfgott, whose life showcased in the film “Shine.”

The “H” energy demands unflagging willpower while you remain steadfast and dare to own your wildest dreams – you may even become famous for them!  However, the desire for fame and fortune isn’t enough – you also need a willingness to pay the price with dogged and often slogging hard work.  In the long haul, the solid fact remains – you are responsible to manifest your goals, and only you can do the work!!

The presence of “H” in the name implies the need to dream your impossible dreams – then possess the patience while you do the necessary work!

Balanced “H:” positive willpower, mellowed by wisdom; patient striving – no matter how unusual or unlikely the goals; often has a strong business sense and the courage to take risks; an unwavering eye for the end result; a “success” consciousness. A supreme example being the astonishing Helen Keller, who lived the “impossible dream,” developing her talents for communication (four “E’s”), in a body initially compromised by being blind, deaf and dumb; she overcame her disabilities and became a writer, social reformer, speaker – the inspiration of millions. (Letter “K” can mean a difficult physical challenge that is always overcome and can lead to outstanding achievements.)

Unbalanced “H:” craving for money fame and power; a compulsion to succeed regardless of cost (to self or others); or the opposite – unpractical; undisciplined with a ‘poverty consciousness’ that avoids responsibility by non-action; often an irrational dreamer who never amounts to anything with resentment over money – particularly if others have it and they don’t!

Neurotic “H:” epitomized by the late in life phase of eccentric billionaire Howard Hughes (with three “H’s”); initially, a wealthy, efficient businessman, aviator, visionary, successful film producer and handsome ladies-man; he spent his declining years as an obsessive-compulsive recluse in the world’s luxury hotel suits.  And the infamous and fanatical Adolf Hitler took most of his life to become the supreme “Fuehrer” of World War It’s Germany beginning in abject poverty with dreams and schemes that fell apart (he first studied unsuccessfully to be an artist!) — and even within the political arena it took him years of patient endeavor to rise to the strong heights of riches and infamy, with the megalomaniac power to enslave and destroy millions.

When “H” is in YOUR NAME: it’s how you deal with self discipline and delays – how (in a day-to-day practical way), you train yourself to do the work that has to be done for as long as it takes – to fulfill your plans  and dreams.

SUMMARY: restriction, delays, time and patience, distant goals; great fame and fortune (or infamy); leadership and success; foresight, tenacity, self motivation, self effort, rags to riches – or riches to rags.
