Numerological Analysis For

SHAKIRA ISABEL MEBARAK RIPOLL

02 February, 1977

When you interact with others you are adaptable and open-minded. You are inventive to the extent that you are prepared to take chances. You prefer to being different almost for the sake of being different. Your natural element is freedom and you cannot tolerate being boxed in. You are highly communicative and popular. Your generosity is considerable.

The negative aspects of this number mean that you tend to be ruled by your senses and as such not reliable. Your pleasure seeking tends to create a certain instability and if there is no number 5 in your name your focusing on freedom will tend to be poor and you will ignore the responsibility of your freedom of movement. You may take up too much space. Ignoring the fact that space is perhaps occupied by others.

You have a marked sense of who you are, supported by a strong belief in your own capabilities. This does not necessarily mean you will become a leader, or even particularly successful. But you see your self as an individual. You have good reserves of will power and your self-confidence is high.

You are relatively ambitious, resourceful, with a clear sense of personal identity. You know who you are. And you do not, as a rule, need anyone to confirm your identity to you. You have a fairly clear idea of where you want to go and you seem to know how to get there. You have no difficulty in expressing your feelings and are you are physically active. You should remember to eat and rest regularly - failure to do so will result in erratic behaviour.

You have a strong sense of identity which enables you to be confident in your ability to communicate. You are a great role player - open, tolerant and willing to learn. In the best sense of the word you are a teacher. Your communication with others reflects your communication with yourself. This perhaps is your greatest talent.

You have no difficulties expressing your ideas. Your thoughts are stimulated by an irresistible curiosity and the urge to learn whatever you can. Just as you can quickly pick up an idea, so can you just as quickly drop it and pick up the next. You are easily distracted by your senses. Depth of interest must be cultivated by hard work. Concrete thinking is just as easy as abstract. You can be either logical or imaginative as your mood takes you. The chances are that you will go on learning as long as you live.

You know how the material life works. You are capable, you have self confidence, you are logical and practical and you know how far you can go. Although you can say no easily, when necessary, you may have difficulties in accepting the consequences.  You may also become blinded by your dependence on logic. You may also need to be reminded of your creative powers.

You have strong organisational talent; you like taking charge of the situation and you like getting things done, preferably yourself. You have an instinctive understanding of how far you can go.

You are caring and protective. You have no difficulty in expressing all of your feelings. At times you will find it difficult to control them in any way. You believe in expressing yourself emotionally and will be uneasy whenever you have to restrain the expression of your feelings. Beware over-sentimentality. In your relationship with others, your expression of feelings will vary.

You are blessed by innate talents. This is not a one-sided blessing because it may be difficult for you to know which particular talent to focus on. You are advised simply to enjoy them and not to worry about developing them. With maturity - which in your case will come later in life - you will learn that your work is mainly concerned with finishing off tasks left over from previous lives. Your main satisfaction will come from your spiritual growth.

You are spiritually talented. You are born with the ability to tune yourself into yourself. Some of it will be hard work but much of it will provide satisfaction. Developing these talents will take time. But you have the stamina to achieve success to a great extent. The price is high and success demands some form of self-sacrifice. There is not much space for ego. The price of success will be certainly worth paying.

As the number 2 is a feminine number you tend to be sensitive, caring and self-protective. You are relatively reserved. As long as you are considerate you will have no difficulty in attracting others into your life. It is important that you do just this, as, in contrast to the extrovert number 1 type, you are dependent on others. You learn by being together with others. By and large you are a good ‘mixer’, you enjoy the company of others and find your place naturally in group activities. You do not have any difficulty in playing supportive roles, you are loyal, co-operative and hard working. You may have to work hard at preserving your identity in partnerships of any kind, since keeping an emotional balance means too often that you allow yourself to be influenced too much by others. This can result in losing sight of where you are. Your main task is to help others find themselves: make sure you do not get lost in the process. You must learn the art of getting as close to others as possible - without treading on their feet.

Your Soul is oriented towards your personal identity. You are closely attached to yourself as a physical being and cannot imagine yourself without a body. You are resourceful and generally speaking capable. You are most likely highly talented in some way or other, but you confuse your talents with your personal resources. You must learn to develop your personal resources. Your talents just need to be exercised. Your ego can get in the way of your development. You will be faced with uncomfortable situations in your life where it will be directly a hindrance. You will do your best to be distracted from an awareness of this fact. You will even go so far as to repress your ego: in this way you side-step the need to manifest your will. Instead you will project your will onto others, making them do the things you secretly want to do yourself, but refuse to admit. At the same time you will have to face up to the strength of your resources. Although this Soul number is so closely bound up with identity awareness, you will find yourself experiencing difficulties in acknowledging your own identity. Others, however, will be aware of it, mainly because your urge to play a part in the lives of others leaves them with a strong impression of you. By and large you will tend to take the long term view: you do not see yourself as a loser. You will at all times end by taking responsibility for your own life whatever obstacles are put in your way. You must learn to get rid of the attachments to the body and to satisfy your strong desire to manifest your resources.

In your mind you like to be comforted and have your identity confirmed by others but your soul demands an independence of spirit that your Mind will find difficult to acknowledge. This involves a certain conflict, which it will be difficult for you to avoid.

Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll (born February 2, 1977), known professionally as Shakira (pronounced /ʃəˈkɪərə/, Spanish: [ʃaˈkiɾa]), is a Colombian singer who emerged in the music scene of Colombia and Latin America in the early 1990s. Born and raised in Barranquilla, Colombia, Shakira began performing in school, demonstrating her vocal ability with rock and roll, Latin and Arabic influences with her own original twist on belly dancing. Shakira is a native Spanish speaker and also speaks fluent English and Portuguese as well as some Italian, French, Catalan and Arabic.

After commercial flops with local producers on her first two albums, and being little-known outside Colombia, Shakira decided to produce her own brand of music. In 1995 she released Pies Descalzos, which brought her great fame in Latin America and Spain, and her 1998 album ¿Dónde Están los Ladrones? was a critical success selling over 7 million copies worldwide. In 2001, aided by the worldwide success of her first English single "Whenever, Wherever" that became the best selling single of 2002, she broke through into the English-speaking world with the release of Laundry Service, which sold over 13 million copies worldwide. Four years later, Shakira released two album projects called Fijación Oral Vol. 1 and Oral Fixation Vol. 2. Both reinforced her success, particularly with the best selling song of the 2000s, "Hips Don't Lie". In 1995, Shakira founded the Pies Descalzos Foundation. It is a Colombian charity with special schools for poor children all around Colombia. During her career, Shakira has performed at a large number of benefit concerts. Among the most famous are the Live 8 benefit concert in July 2005, the Live Earth concert, Hamburg where she headlined the show, as well as the "Clinton Global Initiative" created by former US President Bill Clinton. She was also invited to the Oval Office by President Barack Obama in February 2010 to discuss early childhood development.

She has won two Grammy Awards,seven Latin Grammy Awards, twelve Billboard Latin Music Awards and has been Golden Globe-nominated. She is also the highest-selling Colombian artist of all time, and the second most successful female Latin singer after Gloria Estefan, having sold over 60 million albums worldwide according to Sony Music Entertainment. Her U.S. album sales stand at 9.9 million. In the fall of 2009, Shakira released her sixth studio album She Wolf worldwide gaining a lot of critical praise for her eccentricity and writing skills. The album sold roughly 2 million copies around the world. Shakira's "Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)", was chosen as the official song for the 2010 FIFA World Cup. The song has received generally positive critical reception, and has become a worldwide smash hit and the biggest selling World Cup song of all time. On YouTube, the English version of the music video is the 4th most watched video of all time with over 410 million views. When she released her seventh studio album, the bilingual Sale el Sol in October 2010, she gained back her Latin following, which Shakira described as being the main goal for the album. The album has sold over 2 million copies worldwide.
