What's in a Number?
So, let's get started and I'll demonstrate what the basic numerical vibrations
represent and how to make up a simple chart. This way you can judge for
yourself just how applicable this old "science" can be.
Basics / Math
In basic numerology, there are nine numbers or vibrations that you want to
reduce any greater number down into. These nine numbers are the digits 1
through 9. In some numerology application, there is a special consideration for
the digit 0, but for simplicity we will not be concerned with that here. There is
also special treatment of the numbers 11 and 22; these are referred to as "master
numbers". Some forms of numerology treat other numbers as master numbers
as well, but we will stick to 11 and 22 for our purposes. The numbers 1 through
9 represent the stages through which an idea or thought must progress prior to
becoming manifest. They also represent the stages through all natural
evolutionary cycles universally. The master numbers can be reduced down to a
single digit as well, but they represent higher vibrations of the idea that they
can be reduced down into.
Basically, to reduce any number down to its single-digit vibration, you simply
add each of the digits of the number. For example, lets reduce the year 1998:
1998 = 1 + 9 + 9 + 8 = 27
Because 27 is still not a basic number (1 through 9), nor is it a master number
(11 or 22), we must reduce it further:
27 = 2 + 7 = 9
You would continue reducing any number that is greater than one digit unless
you come to a master number. For this example, the result of reducing 1998 is
9.
74 = 7 + 4 = 11
123456789

J K L MNOP QR
S T UV WX Y Z
To create this mapping, you simply count the letters of the alphabet starting
with "A", and reduce the number when you get above 9. As you progress
through your numerology study, you will probably want to memorize the table
above, or create a quick reference table for yourself. (Maybe print this page and
cut out the table above).
WORK = 5 + 6 + 9 + 2 = 22
Once you understand basic numerology math, lets take a look at the esoteric
meanings of each numerical vibration.
Number Vibrations
As I mentioned earlier, in numerology each number represents a particular
quality. Again, the different digits from 1 through 9 represent the various steps
any idea must progress through prior to becoming manifest. On a universal
scale, life processes can be associated with cycles that can be broken down into
these nine major vibrations. A person’s progression through time itself is also
assumed to go through cycles of nine. You may find that if you look back nine
years prior to now, you may have had some similar events occur during that
year, or you may find that your outlook on life was similar to how things
appear now. Each numerical vibration can be interpreted in general terms, but
as you learn what the different numbers associated with your birth date and
birth name represent, you can get a more applicable interpretation of those
numbers.
In the table below, I have listed some general keywords for each numerical
vibration. Then on the following pages of this study I will show you how to
apply these meanings to some specific birth related numbers. The keywords
listed below are from other sources as well as my own interpretations.
Creation, resurrection, manifestation, independence, singularity, masculine
1 principal, leader, originality, conscious mind, beginnings
receptivity, feminine principal, follower, tactful, gentle,
2 Mediation,
changeable, adaptable, compromise, subconscious mind, form
Unity, trinity, romance, art, beauty, abundance, life, growth, expressive,
3 harmony, communication, enthusiasm, super-conscious mind,
seed
Structure, order, work, law, formation, system, construction,
4 discipline, preparation, foundation
travel, activity, adventure, promotion, speculation,
5 Freedom,
decision, involvement, transcendence, change
And here are the primary meanings of the two master numbers that I have
mentioned:
With just the information that we have covered so far, you can start to analyze
certain names and words by reducing them down to their primary number and
interpreting the meaning based on the keywords above.
Next, lets look at the numbers that make up the numerological chart, and how
to derive meaning from them.
The Life Lesson is the number derived from your birth date. First I will
demonstrate how to correctly reduce the birthdate to derive the Life Lesson
number.
To begin, you reduce the year of birth down to a two-digit number (this step
is important in retaining the proper master numbers). Next, you add that two-
digit year number to the month and day of birth to get another number. Finally,
you reduce that number down to one of the 9 primary vibrations or a master
number (11 or 22). I'll use my birth date as an example:
I was born on April 28, 1967. So, first reduce 1967 down to a two-digit
number: 1 + 9 + 6 + 7 = 23. Next, we add the month and day to that 23, so we
get 4 + 28 + 23 = 55. Finally, we reduce the 55 down to one of the primary
numbers or master numbers: 5 + 5 = 10, 1 + 0 = 1. This means that my Life
Lesson number is a 1.
The Life Lesson number represents what we are heading for in this lifetime.
Many numerologists believe that we enter each life to learn some sort of
evolutionary lesson, thus "life lesson". It is my belief that we are not fated by
karma to learn anything in particular. However, I believe that at the time of
entering into this life parameters are provided for us that facilitate
accomplishment of certain things we might like to achieve (on a soul level). It
is thus my opinion that the Life Lesson number gives us guidance on what we
may want to look at throughout this life. This is not a mandatory lesson, but is
probably a logical step in our path towards our inner self.
Refer back at the table on the Number Vibrations page and try to apply the
generalized keywords yourself for your own Life Lesson number. For this first
and most significant number on the numerological chart, I have given some of
my own interpretations as a guide. As you progress through your study of
numerology, you will find your own interpretations of each number vibration
that may or may not coincide exactly with these general ideas, but use your
own intuition and judgment; they are your best tools.
Here is how the three numbers are derived, and how they relate to each other.
First, lets look at the vowels in the name, this vibration is called the Soul Urge.
Vowels sometimes include the letter "y". For our purposes, treat "y" as a vowel
when it is the only letter in its syllable that has a vowel sound, for example the
y in Mary or Lynn. Also, treat "y" as a vowel when it has the sound of "ee" like
in the word key, or in my last name, Rowley. If in doubt about how to treat a
"y", then try treating it both ways, and pick the interpretation that you intuit fits
the best.
Add up the basic vibrations for each vowel in the full birth name. (In my case
this is the vibration for A + E + E + A + O + E + Y.
Look up the letters from our reference table on the Basics/Math Page
This reduces down like so: 1 + 5 + 5 + 1 + 6 + 5 + 7 = 30.
Reducing further: 3 + 0 = 3. So my Soul Urge number is a 3.
Next, you add up the vibrations for the consonants in your birth name. This is
called your Expression Number. For me we add up the corresponding numbers
for the letters:
J + M + S + G + R + L + D + R + + l, which in numerical form looks like this:
1 + 4 + 1 + 7 + 9 + 3 + 4 + 9 + 5 + 3 = 46
Reducing further: 4 + 6 = 10, 1 + 0 = 1, So my Expression Number is 1.
Finally, add your Soul Urge number and your Expression number together and
reduce the total in order to come up with your Path of Destiny. For me this
means that my Path of Destiny is a 4 ( 3 + 1 = 4)
Remember that for any one of these three numbers, stop reducing if you hit a
master number of 11 or 22.
Once you have derived your Soul Urge, your Expression number, and your Path
of Destiny numbers, you can use them to help learn a little more about yourself
or the person whom you are casting the numerical chart for. See the top of this
page once again for the idea behind each of these three numbers.
Apply the basic guidelines for these numerical vibrations from my Number
Vibrations Table to get some insight on your approach to life, your inner
workings, and how others perceive you.
Each of us as individuals are also effected by our own vibration, and its relative
harmony to that of the rest of the universe. In order to determine your current
personal year vibration, look at the numerology for your last birthday. At the
point of this writing, my last birthday was April 28, 1998. In order to reduce
dates, remember we first reduce the year down to a two digit number, and then
we add that number to the month and day of the date before we reduce fully
down to a basic or master number vibration. Using this technique, you will see
that during the year following my 4/28/98 birthday I was being influenced by
change, travel, communication, and activity as indicated by my personal year of
a 5:
(04 / 28 / 1998)
1 + 9 + 9 + 8 = 27
4 + 28 + 27 = 59
5 + 9 = 14
1+4=5
I have found that Personal Years and Universal Years give us a good basis for
interpretation of some influences in our day-to-day lives.
The Numerological Chart
Below I have included an example of a fairly simple but somewhat
comprehensive picture of myself based on the numerology of my Birth Date,
Birth Name, and my personal and universal yearly influence at the time of
writing this. Please use this as an example only.
LIFE LESSON: 1
A life lesson of 1 denotes a very creative individual. You should strive to forge
your own path throughout life. You are probably very good at starting new
things, and maybe so much so, that you don't complete everything you begin.
Because of your individual needs, you may find that your life leaves you alone
at times in order to manifest your own true destiny; don't live in opposition to
this nature, as it is through knowing yourself that you will succeed.
PATH OF DESTINY: 4
You strive towards individuality and creativity through work and struggle. Be
careful not to become overly involved with work, nor wrapped up in the
struggle of life, but use these areas of your life in order to find your true nature.
You also must structure your life in such a way as to be comfortable with
yourself, and to give you the a feeling of stability as you forge new ground into
the unknown.
SOUL URGE: 3
Your true inner desires revolve around a playfulness and harmonious attitude
towards existence. Listen to these urges and use them towards your goal of
independence and leadership. You may desire to have lots of friends and
romance in your life, and you may have an inner need to be the center of
attention. Pursuit of friendship, love, art, and beauty will help lead you to inner
happiness.
EXPRESSION NUMBER: 1
Others see you as a creative individual. They look up to you as a leader and
know that you are a person who can find the correct path to follow in life. They
may see your method of dress or appearance as unique, and they probably can
see in you, the need for individualism and independence.
UNIVERSAL YEAR: 9
This year we are universally effected by a year of endings. There could be a
shifted perception in the world for the better where we will all learn to think a
little more globally. There may be events where people will somehow leave our
lives right now. People will find compassion in our hearts this year and will
perceive that together we can assist each other to usher in a period of new
beginnings next year.
PERSONAL YEAR: 5
A personal year under the five influence is one of travel, excitement,
communication, and change. Life will step up its pace but you will, more likely
than at other times, be able to accept that change in pace. Many life changing
events occur within five years, so be perceptive, and receptive of those
changes. Don't resist change, but meet it with respect, anticipation and
excitement, as it is through change that we evolve towards higher existence.
