October Birthday – What Do Gates and Chopra Have in Common?

Editors Note: This post is an updated revision of an article I wrote some years ago. I thought I would take this time to celebrate two October birthday leaders in their specific fields –
Bill Gates and Deepak Chopra!

What do Deepak Chopra and Bill Gates numbers have in common? Here are two substantial leaders that you might not ever consider comparing.  But sure enough, they have quite a few parallels.  Both were born in October, a birth month of leadership (1) and potential (0). Both Gates and Chopra have made their success by applying the characteristics that show in their destiny numbers.

Bill Gates’ Birthday Numbers Show the Four Destiny

Bill Gates, born as William Henry Gates on October 28, 1955, is known as one of the main leaders of the computer revolution and co-creator of the software company named Microsoft.  As an entrepreneur, philanthropist, and one of the wealthiest humans on the planet, Bill Gates’ numbers illustrate a 4 (four) destiny (or life purpose).  The four life purpose is the builder, someone who always gets the job done, and has a deep understanding of how things are connected to each other.

“It’s fine to celebrate success but it is more important to heed the lessons of failure.” ~ Bill Gates

As Bill Gates, his numerological name chart illustrates the master “33” in his expression number. The 33/6 is a powerful energy of creative expression and service, that can ultimately change the world. How true.

Deepak Chopra’s Life Purpose ~ 7

Deepak Chopra, born October 22, 1946* in New Delhi, is also a perfect description the 7 destiny number. (As on target as Gates’ ‘4’ )

Chopra is an alternative health practitioner, motivational speaker and writer (The 7 Spiritual Laws of Success). He is most known for connecting human health and spirituality.

The 7’s life purpose is one of the non-conformist and spiritual visionary.  It is clear that Chopra follows the unconventional path as unique leader with an alternative viewpoint to life’s journey. (Read more about the 7 destiny.)

Chopra and the ‘4’ Expression Number

But along with Chopra’s spiritual side, he is also extremely grounded and organized as his Chopra Foundation and programs illustrate. The ‘4’ appears in Chopra’ name (see the chart below). His soul number (9) of universal compassion and transformational ideas combines with the organized expression number (4).  Like Gates, Chopra uses his four to build and organize his unique thoughts into form.  Without this organization and perfectionism, it is often hard for the 7 life purpose to bring their ideas into form.

“Relinquish your attachment to the known, step into the unknown, and you will step into the field of all possibilities.” Deepak Chopra

* (Note: unfortunately, Chopra’s birth year is debatable.  I have seen 1946 and 1947, but since all the astrology reports say 1946, I am going with the latter date for my analysis).
