Characteristics of Numbers
Have you ever wondered what you were destined to do in life? Why you react in a certain way to certain situations? About whether or not your partner and you were really meant to be together? Numerology can help you to figure out the answers to these questions.
The literal definition of numerology is "the science of numbers". Numerology has been used since ancient times. Thousands of years ago, people used numerology to predict the future. It wasn’t until later that it became used as a tool in discovering one’s self. The study of numerology can be used as a method of character analysis, to gain knowledge and insight, to avoid mishaps, and even to explain future outcomes of situations.
Some numerologists believe that your entire destiny and fate are determined by the numbers that are related to you. There are various ways to determine your own numbers, and with careful analysis of them as a whole, it can provide insight to determine the course of action you should take in life. Although numerology cannot always provide individuals with specific answers to their exact problems, the study of one’s numbers can tell how the situation or problem should be approached, and what measures should be taken to make certain that the most favourable outcome would be produced.
The following sections outline some of the aspects of different numbers and some of the characteristics involved with each of them. By going through this, you can decide how to look at your own future and better understand your own or another person’s character. Numerology can provide you with the solutions to your questions about love, money, career, and, most of all, it can provide you with solutions to your identity.
The Signifigance of Each Number
1
The number one is often considered in relation to religious worship and as the single source from which everything in the universe is created. People who are leaders and possess organizational abilities are characterized by the number one. The number one is often referenced as being an image of God as the Creator.
2
Femininity is the main symbol of the number two. Traditionally regarded as female, (as most even numbers are), people who are characterized by the number two often have passive traits and are extremely loyal. Sometimes the number two is seen as being "evil" as it contrasts the divinity of the number one, and poses as an opponent to the number 1 as being an image of God as the Creator.
3
As the number three is created by adding both the number one and number two together, number three can be interpreted as a symbol of harmony and equality. It is valued as a holy number, as in the Holy Trinity - the Father, the Son and Holy Spirit. Adoration and admiration are attributed to the number three as well. As each and every existence is divided into three major components, such as birth – life – death, time into past – present – future, etc…the number three stands for a basis of all existence.
4
Since ancient times, the number four has been associated with the four elements of earth, air, fire and water. The natural world in itself is composed of four, as there are four seasons in a year. Therefore, the number four is a representative of the natural world and that involved with earth and other earthly figures. In some cultures, the number four is affiliated with death, since as there are four seasons, with spring being the birth of new life, and winter being the death of life.
5
The halfway mark between the system of numbers, the number five is symbolized as being connected to human life. In several cases, the number five is spoken of relating to humans as humans have five senses. The number five represents many of the "human" characteristics available, as they are compared to that of the divine.
6
Once again, this even number is seen as female, and the characteristics of the number six are affiliated with that of a nurturing woman figure. On the sixth day God created man in his image, much like how a woman is indeed a creator of man. As women throughout history have been regarded as being fragile and cooperative, the number six deals with these very same characteristics.
7
Another mysterious, yet holy number, the number seven has been regarded by religious followers as being linked to that of magic and power. In the Bible, there are the seven days of creation, and the Sabbath, the day of rest, adds to the sense of relaxation and withdrawal connected with the number seven. An isolated number, seven represents both inner and outer peace.
8
The number eight, in itself represents double that of the number four. If four represents the natural world, the number eight in essence represents the unnatural world. It deals with such matter as both success and failure that one is faced with in life. The number eight represents new beginnings and the birth of new hope.
9
Being the last and the highest of all of the numbers, the number stands for achievement and success. As number nine is the highest of the numbers, and the next number leads back to zero, the number nine also represents the readiness to begin again. Because of this, other associations of the number nine include fear of new things and of being alone.
MASTER NUMBERS
In numerology, every number is reduced to a single digit EXCEPT the master numbers of 11, 22, 33 and so on. These numbers indicate giftedness and leadership and are considered to have special significance. Number 11 people inspire and help others to achieve a higher purpose. They are inspirational leaders, truth seekers, visionaries, intuitive, wanting to uplift and inspire. Number 22 is a master builder and has the innate ability to see the whole picture in all its parts and the steps for implementing large-scale plans. Here is a true visionary, bringing spiritual into the material, and wanting to improve things. Number 33 is the master of healing energies – most significant being the energy of unconditional love, which is love raised to the highest level; is self-sacrificing and wanting to heal through love.Back to Top
How to Calculate your Birth Number
To figure out your own personal number, add up the numerals of your birthdate. For example, if you were born on July 22, 1973, you would calculate your birth number as follows:
7 (for the seventh month) + 2 + 2 (for the day) + 1 + 9 + 7 + 3 (for the year) for a total of 31. The total that number: 3 + 1 = 4. So, in this case, your birth number is four.
Remember, if your numbers add up to a master number, do not reduce it to a single digit.
Your birth number reflects several different aspects of your personality and your character. Numerologists believe that you were assigned this number at the time of your birth and the study of it will lead to insight to your true destiny.
If you would like to find your number for the current year (rather than your birth year) simply replace the year of your birth with the numerals of the current year and continue as before.
How to Calculate your Name Number
Your name number is also known as your destiny number and represents your purpose in life. The destiny number is the sum total of your complete name at birth, again reduced to a single digit. So find the number associated with the letter of the alphabet in the chart below and add the numbers together. Include your middle name(s). If the number totals 25, your final number would be 7.
Your secret ambitions are revealed by the vowels in your name. Your personality is found in your name’s consonants. Your power number is the sum of your birth number and your name number.Back to Top
