With the success of the first two 'Pirates of the Caribbean' movies, actor Johnny Depp is at the top of his profession, commanding a $20,000,000 salary for 'Dead Man's Chest'. Now that his popularity has shot off the charts, and with a third 'Pirates' installment due out next year, what does Numerology predict for him in the next few years?

As a Numerologist, if I want to see what is in persons future there are (3) main calculations which I check: their Life Cycles, their Letters of Transit and their Personal Year. These values give me a number of clues about what's in store for a person over the coming years.

His Life Cycle

Johnny Depp entered his second Life Cycle in 1992, and will not enter his third and final Life Cycle until 2019. This cycle begins after his first big movie success in 'Edward Scissorhands', and covers his rise to stardom. It brings him endless possibilities. This is a highly emotional time for him, and is a particularly good time for creativity in artistic endeavors. It is a cycle of frequent sudden or unusual endings for him in his work and relationships.

This is seen in his several romantic attachments in the early years of this cycle before he met his current girlfriend French singer-actress Vanessa Paradis. Also, his several run ins with the law fit into this pattern.

The challenge of this cycle is for him to overcome a reluctance to accept his great personal power, and to avoid becoming greedy. I would say that so far, Johnny Depp has successfully lived up to that challenge. With his next Life Cycle 13 years in the future, we're in the midst of a long period of creative success for him.

His Transit Letters

Transit letters are calculated from a person's full birth name and are the most detailed predictor of events unique to an individual. Johnny Depp, being born a 3rd, ('III' on his birth certificate,) has the unique trait of always having an 'I' transit letter in affect throughout his life.

His transit letter of 'I' marks a time of dramatic ups and downs in his life, a time filled with creative opportunities. Remember this is in affect for him all the years of his life, except when a double 'I' is in affect (such as occurred for him in 1983 through 1991). In those years he would have great difficulties getting things started in his life. Fortunately, that period is long passed.

His other current Letters of transit are 'OPP'. They begin on his 41st birthday in June 2004, and will end on his 45th birthday in June 2008. Their affects on his life are as follows:

His transit letter of `O' marks a time of calm and serenity in his life. He will accept responsibilities in his home life and experience improved finances during this period. I believe this indicates that he has found a balance in his family life, and that his film work will continue to bring huge success. The 'O' transit letter will stay in force through the end of this decade, so his career looks bright indeed.

His transit letters of `PP' mark a time of too much privacy and solitude in his life. He tends to live like a hermit. This period of intense privacy will end in June 2008 when the double 'P' changes to a 'P' and an 'H'.

Following up, his transit letter of 'P' in June 2008 will mark a time when Depp still needs solitude, but not to the degree of the last few years. It also marks an excellent time for business and financial growth.

And his future transit letter of 'H' will mark a time of professional growth, financial success, and independence. He should be careful to pace himself and not overwork.

His Personal Year

2006 is a personal year (5) for Johnny Depp; a time in which new opportunities abound. He will feel change in the very air. New people or interest will come into his life. Depp's adaptability to changes in his life is enhanced. He may also find opportunities for a second chance at plans and tasks that were put aside or missed out on before.

In summation, I don't believe I've ever seen a Numerology reading where so many factors point to career and financial success in the next four or five years. Every transit letter points towards Johnny Depp having the Midas touch for his business projects. A fitting image for a Pirate, seeing everything he touches turn to Gold.
