YOUR BIRTH NUMBER INTERPRETATIONS:
Below is a
description of the meaning of the main numbers. The information has been
taken from www.wikipedia.org, the
free online encyclopedia.
One
One is the first number used when counting and therefore it is
considered to have great power; without it there would be no numbering
system as we know it. It is often seen as the origin of all things and
represents perfection, absolute, and deity in monotheistic faiths. One can
be happy, loving, romantic, dynamic and charismatic, but on the downside
it can be egotistical, selfish and melodramatic, individualistic,
obstinate and alone.
One is the origin, the beginning. Gaea. The Bang. The Word.
Two
Two can have many different meanings, representing partnerships and
interaction with others on one hand, and disunion and polarities on the
other. In symbolizing partnership, two implies that individual
achievements are not realistic because accomplishments are best realized
through co-operation and teamwork. While duality is required for the
formation of life in sexually reproducing species, it is also seen when
contrasted with the perfect, unified number one. Two represents polarities
such as good and evil, black and white, male and female, left and right.
One pole cannot exist without the other; this idea of complementary
relationships is best symbolized with the Yin-Yang symbol. Polarity,
though, can also create strife and discord. Two may be considered
feminine, intuitive, and corresponds with our protective instincts.
Negatively, two can be grasping, overprotective and cranky. The cranky
aspect of the number two is derived from the disappointment and
dissatisfaction of the human spirit when denied first place in
anything.
Three
Three solves the discord created in the polarity of two, resulting in a
new integration and wholeness. This can be seen in the divisions of a
human: mind, body, and spirit, whose unification makes us whole , our
visible world is three dimensional. Three can also relate to expansiveness
and learning through life experiences. It is considered to be lucky, and
is often associated with money and good fortune. Three can depict several
people joining together to achieve a common goal, whether through a social
or professional affiliation. Three also represents communication of all
kinds, expression, drama, acting, and humor. Although three possesses
attributes of wisdom, understanding and knowledge, negatively it can
exhibit pessimism, foolhardiness and unnecessary risk taking. Three is
seen as a very magical number. In some cases, the number three can take on
some negative aspects and is seen as demonic or unnatural, as there are no
creatures in our world who walk upon three legs.
Four
Four derives its significance from various sources. It is the first
"composite" number; that is to say, the first number that can be created
from multiplying numbers other than itself and 1, in that 2 X 2 = 4. The
simplest solid object,a tetrahedron has four sides; hence four
denotes solid matter in general and the Earth in particular, as the Earth
is a solid object bounded by four cardinal points (North, South, East and
West). Time is another concept strongly associated with four, on the
grounds that the year has four seasons and the month has (roughly) four
weeks; Christian-oriented observers also note that the life story of
Jesus is told in four gospels, each of which is in turn linked to one
of the four classical "elements" of fire, air, earth, and water.
Specifically, the Gospel according to St. Matthew is associated with earth
since his Gospel stresses Christ's incarnation in earthly form; water is
accorded to St. Mark since his Gospel emphasizes the importance of
baptism, fire is ascribed to St. John since his Gospel is the most
"spiritual," and air is assigned to St. Luke since his Gospel is the
longest. The association with Earth means that four symbolizes being
practical and "down-to-earth," while the fact that four is the first
composite number is linked to the idea of an other-directed, "composite
personality" that takes cues from different and often conflicting sources,
leading to fiercely independent, "out-of-the-box" thinking. In the Jewish
religion, the number four is significant because of the Tetragrammaton,
the four-letter name of God which is so holy it is never spoken. In
Chinese numerology (as well as that of other Oriental languages), the word
"four" is a homonym of the Chinese word for "death". As thus, some
hospitals do not have a 4th floor.
Five
Five is connected to sensual awareness in the form of the five senses
as well as protection. It is also a number which represents service to
others. It is highly analytical and has the ability to think critically,
but can over-ponder an issue to the point that its significance is no
longer relevant. This number governs our ability to think clearly and our
intellectual capacity. Five represents openness to new experiences as well
as new ideas. Seeking freedom, it is often the adventurer. Five is about
pushing life to its limits. It is a multifaceted number with links to our
state of physical and mental health.
Six
Six relates to tact, beauty and harmony. It is very much a relationship
builder which corresponds to one-to-one encounters. It deals with that
which we are attracted to and those things we find great pleasure in. Six
possesses charm, grace and the ability to make small talk on any stratum,
and is therefore much of a diplomat. Six is very nurturing, and is
considered the mother/father number. It is considered to be a minor money
number, so a little extra income will be available wherever this number is
found. Negatively, six can be unfaithful, jealous, bitter and vengeful.
Six can also denote perfectionism, as it is the first "perfect" number, in
that the sum of its divisors, other than itself, is equal to itself: 6 X 1
= 6 and 3 X 2 = 6, and 1 + 2 + 3 = 6. Interestingly, the product of its
divisors, other than itself, also equals 6.
Seven
Seven is considered to be a spirtual number because it is illusive
and contains veils which must first be uncovered, one after another,
before illumination will ultimately be found. Seven is said to be sacred,
and this is evidenced by the fact that there are seven days in the week,
ancient texts such as Genesis propose that the earth was formed in seven
phases, the ancient solar system consisted of seven luminaries, human
body consists of seven plexuses or chakras and some versions of the
Kabbalah have seven sepiroth. While seven possesses qualities of dreaminess, spirituality and psychic awareness, negatively it can be
dubious, deceptive and insincere.
Eight
Eight is considered to be the number of karmic influences where we are
called upon to pay debts incurred in this and previous lives. It
represents hard work and lessons learned through experience, and can
therefore be a difficult number for some because of the very
restrictiveness of its nature. More than any other number, eight seeks
money and material success. However, the hardships eight faces in pursuit
of its rewards are extreme. Huge reversals in life are common for the
eight. Because reputation and community standing are of paramount
importance, those who have it figured prominently would be wise to lead
honest lives, otherwise any indiscretions will more than likely be
uncovered in a most unflattering manner. Although it is considered "good
luck" in Chinese Culture, it is of no particular importance according to
the esoteric beliefs of Chinese numerology.
Nine
Nine was considered to be a sacred number by the ancients and was
consequently not assigned a numerical equivalent to any letter in the
Chaldean alphabet. It represents change, invention and growth which
springs forth from inspiration. Nine is the humanitarian. Nine has
traditionally held esoteric significance which is evidenced by the fact
that it takes nine calendar months to bring a baby into the world from its
initial conception.
Ten
Ten is a higher octave of the number one and signifies an end of an
important cycle in which a change in circumstances will soon be
forthcoming. It carries with it much esoteric significance which is
evidenced by the fact that it takes ten lunar months to bring a baby from
conception into the world, there are ten sepiroth in many versions of
the Kaballah, the most common number system used today is based on
the number ten, and most currencies in use today have been decimalised.
People generally have ten fingers on which to count, leading to an easy
adoption of ten as the base of our intuitive number system. This belief is
also central to Chinese Numerology. It should be noted that ten is
considered to be a modern number of completion because it was only within
the last several hundred years that is has been used as the fundamental
building block of number systems, currencies and measurements. When ten
replaced twelve as the ultimate number, it heralded a change in man's
thinking patterns to become more scientific in his approach to questions
of an esoteric nature. (Note that advocates of Dozenal would
disagree).
Eleven
Eleven is a higher octave of the number two and is considered to be a
master number (the second master number being 22). 11 is considered the
path of spiritual awareness and knowledge beyond the grasp of others. It
carries psychic vibrations and has an equal balance of masculine and
feminine properties. It is also related to open-mindedness, intuition,
idealism, and visions. Because eleven contains many gifts such as psychic
awareness and a keen sense of sensitivity, it also has negative effects
such as treachery and betrayal from secret enemies.
Twelve
Twelve is a higher octave of the number three and is an indicator of
great understanding and wisdom. Much of its knowledge is gleaned from life
experiences, which enables a sense of calm to prevail in even the most
turbulent of situations. Twelve is significant in ancient man’s life
because there were twelve tribes in Israel, twelve disciples followed
Jesus, there are twelve astrological signs in the zodiac, there are twelve
months in the year, and our modern clock is divided into two groups of
twelve hours. It is considered to be the ancient number of completion as
it signals the end of childhood and the beginning stages of adulthood.
Additionally, the ancient numbering and measuring systems are based on
this number, as evidenced by terms such as a dozen (12), a gross (12 times
12), a shilling (12 pence) and a foot (12 inches). Negatively, twelve can
suffer from a form of depression brought about by a feeling of resignation
that life’s events have transpired in such a way.
Thirteen
Thirteen is a higher octave of the number four and is one more than
twelve, the ancient number of completion. Thirteen is considered to
signify the end of a cycle and the beginning of a new one, as evidenced by
the fact that there are thirteen lunar months in the year and thirteen
signs in the Celtic and Native American systems of astrology. While
thirteen foretells new beginnings, it also signifies that outmoded systems
must come to an end to make way for much needed transformations. Thirteen
may also be interpreted as 12 + 1 and is regarded by many as the number of
the initiate, this is seen in a chromatic musical octave. But thirteen's
real significance cannot really be discussed without reference to sacred
geometry, more particularly the Flower of Life, which is from the Temple
of Osiris and shows the never ending destruction and creation of life. It
is also very significant to the creation pattern and the platonic solids.
Thirteen is also a significant astrological number. The sum of thirteen is
91, (1+2+3..), which is each number of days in a season. Other notable
examples include the thirteen original, revolutionary U.S. colonies.
Twenty-two
Twenty-two is a higher octave of the number four and is considered to
be a master number. It contains the secrets to many esoteric questions, as
evidenced by the fact that there are twenty two letters in the Hebrew
alphabet, twenty two pathways in many versions of the Kaballah, and twenty
two cards in the Major Arcana. Twenty two carries with it psychic gifts
such as heightened sensitivity, intuition and psychic awareness, but is
also predisposed to pitfalls such as treachery from hidden enemies and
over sensitivity. It is also an approximation of pi times 7, and also the
number of pounds in 10 kilograms.
Zero
Zero is a powerful number which brings great transformational change,
sometimes occurring in a profound manner. It has much intensity, so
caution is needed wherever it appears to ensure that extremes are not
encountered. |
