MORE ON NUMEROLOGY is the Science of Numbers (and its relationship to names). Numbers symbolize the meaning of our lives and its challenges and potentials.There are sets of numbers that are unique to you which Lagerquist and Lenard call your “cosmic code.” (Lagerquist and Lenard, 1999, p.10) The most important numbers are the core numbers which include your life path number, destiny number, soul number, personality number and maturity number.

The primary numbers as developed by the 6th century B.C.E.Greek mystic and mathematician, Pythagoras, are the numbers 1 through 9. However, there are other number combinations that impact our understanding of ourselves including Master Numbers and Karmic Numbers.

Karmic Numbers:

The Karmic numbers are: 10, 13, 14, 16, and 19.

Karma:

What is Karma? Karma (good and bad) is often explained as our thoughts and actions of the past which show up in the present. It is possible to repeat these patterns of thought and action over many life times.

Karmic Lessons:

What are karmic numbers? They are numbers missing from your birth name that represent experiences you didn’t have or didn’t master in your past life. They are numbers that represent life lessons that haven’t been learned…yet.

Each karmic number identifies a specific action or thought that you must learn in this lifetime or the pattern will repeat itself in the next life and the next life until you do.

Karmic Debt:

In our past lives, some of us were selfish, greedy, lazy cruel to others, abusive, or irresponsible.  Our present life gives us the chance to repent and redress our past negative actions.

Karmic numbers explain these negative behaviors.To counter these past actions, it is important that we learn new behaviors and thoughts in this life because we didn’t learn them in our past life. Negative patterns continuously repeat themselves until they are reversed into positive behaviors.

The karmic debt numbers are: 13, 14, 16, and 19. They represent specific thought or actions that we must learn in the present life so that we may redress past grievances.

If karmic numbers are found in your birthday, life path, destiny or soul numbers it is likely that negative behaviors affected your past life or lives and that you are here in this lifetime to make amends for those behaviors. (The bibliography below explains the five core numbers: destiny, life path, soul, and personality numbers.)

Number 19:

The Karmic Number 19 is about abuse of power, selfishness, dependence, laziness, aggression, intimidation egotism and a refusal to seek help from others. # 19s must learn true independence while at the same time, seek help when needed. They must also learn self-assertion and consideration of the needs of others.

Master Number 33

“The universe is based on the fundamental reality that all things are related and within that underlying notion of unity, all things are energy.”

from The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Numerology

33/6 Master of Healing Love

Numerology teachers write the Master Number 33 as 33/6.

They are the Masters of Healing Energies Through Love, the Cosmic Parent.

33/6s champion the underdog lending encouragement and understanding to those who need it but 33/6s must learn detachment and balance first before they can help others and right the injustices of the world.

Two  3s mean double the emotions felt by the rest of us plus like the Number 6, the responsibility to care for others in need. In spite of the power they have to help others they work with humility as well as love. However, 33/6s must learn to love and trust themselves first before they can help others with love and an open heart.

Famous 33/6s are Meryl Streep, Robert DeNiro, Steven Spielberg and the late Elisabeth Kubler-Ross.

Pythagoras and Numerology

Numerology is the study of the meanings of names and numbers and their relationship to each other and has its roots in  the cultures of ancient Greece, China, Rome and Egypt and the Hebrew Kabbalah.

Pythagoras was a Greek mathematician and mystic from the 6th century B.C.E. He is one of the fathers of numerology and regarded as the father of geometry.

He based his system of names and numbers on his belief that numerical relationships permeate nature. Numbers are a source of form and energy and numbers 1 through 9 represent the nine stages of the cycle of life.

Pythagoras and his followers believed that divine law could be calculated through mathematics.

Pythagoras, however, associated numbers with many ideas not just divine law. For example, he explored musical harmony through mathematics and called his concept “The Music of the Spheres.” Pythagoras believed that everything vibrates to its own special harmony; the higher the vibration, the more (or positive) force it has but the lower the rate of vibration, the less (or negative) force it has.

22/4 The Master Builder

Numerology teachers write the Master Number 22 as 22/4. 22/4s are also Master Organizers and Master Planners. They carry the double attributes of the 2: team spirit, sensitivity, coöperation and patience. They also absorb the traits of the 4: hard work,  practicality, seriousness, determination, and tenacity.

Creative, natural-born leaders, and workaholics, 22/4s are all about achieving balance in life as well as work.

Famous 22/4s are Colin Powell (U.S. Statesman, U.S. General 1937 – the present), Vince Lombardi (Football Coach 1913 – 1970), Bill Gates (Businessman, Innovator 1955 – the present), Luciano Pavarotti (Tenor 1935 -2007) and Winston Churchill (British Statesman 1874 – 1965).

22/4s turn dreams into reality because they are practical as well as creative and inspirational leaders.

11/2: Spiritual Messenger

Numerologists write the Master Number 11 as 11/2.  Colors associated with the Master Number 11 are white and silver.

11/2s seek self-illumination through spiritual inspiration and seek to inspire others to do the same. They are natural-born leaders, charismatic, creative, intuitive, inspirational, and visionary.

11/2s have double the attributions of the 1: independence, innovation, determination, courage and the ability to lead. They also share the traits of the 2: sensitivity, coöperation, patience, and team spirit.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (composer 1756 – 1791), Prince Charles (British Royal Family 1948 – the present), Antonio Vivaldi (composer 1678 – 1741), and President William J. Clinton (42nd President of the U.S. 1947 – the present), among others, have an 11/2 Life Path. They are dissimilar personalities with different career paths, but they share common attributes including the ability to lead and inspire others and to achieve fame.

(For a guide to determining your life path number, see The Idiot’s Guide to Numerology by Kay Lagerquist and Lisa Lenard. It’s easy!)

11/2s are true visionaries who serve others by serving in their own field of work.
