Welcome to your Arithmancy class! Arithmancy
- which is also known as Numerology - is the study of the meanings of numbers,
especially as they relate to your date of birth and to your name.
The two most important numbers in Arithmancy
are your birth path number, also known as your life path or birthday number, and
your birth name number, which is your destiny number.
Your birth path number, which gives you
insight in how to fulfill your purpose in life, is taken from the month, day,
and year in which you were born.
The first rule of Arithmancy is that every
number is reduced to a single digit. So to find your birth path number, you add
all the numbers in your birthday together... would anyone like to
volunteer?
Anyone?
Ah, thank you, Miss Scriye. When is your
birthday? ... Ah. Miss Scriye was born on September 09, 1984, so her
calculations would look like this:
| Month |
+ Day |
+ Year |
= Birth Path Number |
| 9 (September) |
+ 9 |
+ 1 + 9 + 8 + 4 (1984) |
= 40 (9 + 9 + 1 + 9 + 8 +
4) |
So the birth path number is 40. Does anyone
see what's wrong with that number?
Yes, very good, Miss Granger. Each number
must add up to one digit. So to reduce 40 to a single-digit number, add the two
digits together: 4 + 0 = 4.
Before we get into the meanings of the
numbers, let's discuss the formulation of the other number we mentioned: the
birth name number. Your name, or destiny number, represents your purpose in
life. Again, all numbers must be reduced to a single digit, with the exception
of the master numbers: 11, 22, and 33.
Do I have a volunteer willing to let the
class use their name? ... Miss Granger! Thank you.
Use this table to find the value of each
letter. Remember, you must use your complete name: the name you were given at
birth, and not a nickname. If you have a middle name, use that, too.

Thank you, Miss Granger. Yes, you will

Now, of course, what you all want to know,
I'm sure, are what these numbers mean! So:
| 1 |
independent, pioneering, and headstrong;
associated with Aries
A number 1 person has a purpose and is
impatient for results! They meet challenges with courage and
self-reliance, and usually with strong opinions. They are determined, they
take the iniative, and they like to have their own way. |
| 2 |
relationships, unity, diplomacy, love of
peace; associated with Libra
Sensitive number 2s need to balance
the forces in their lives, and they want harmony at all costs. They are
the mediators, and they love to please: they are diplomatic, modest, and
considerate. |
| 3 |
humor, talent, creativity, enthusiasm,
vivaciousness; associated with Leo and Sagittarius
Number 3s love
creative expression, drama, writing, and speaking. Threes have a great
ability to influence others with their words, expressiveness, and style.
Their enthusiasm generally attracts friends for life. |
| 4 |
stability, security, hard work; associated
with Taurus
Number 4s are all about hard work and putting down
roots - after all, life is serious to them, and needs order. Fours rule
work, family, the home, and health; they follow the rules, are good
managers, and are always economical. |
| 5 |
magnetic, energetic, restless, curious;
associated with Gemini
Number 5s live for change and freedom.
Curious and adventurous, fives are interested in metaphysics and
progressive thinking, and are always looking to be unrestricted and free
from routine. |
| 6 |
responsibility, duty, protection of the
family; ruled by Cancer
Six is the number of the nurturer, and
sixes rule the home and family. Six is also the number of deep love, as
opposed to flirtatious love. Sixes are frequently natural-born teachers
and counselors. |
| 7 |
analytical, private, quiet, solitary; ruled by
Virgo and Pisces
Sevens are introspective and usually searching
for wisdom. They usually specialize in some area, and are generally sought
out for their wisdom. They can be eccentric and loners, but they are also
spiritual and wise. |
| 8 |
ambition, money, business, achievement; ruled
by Capricorn
Eight is the number of the expert and the authority.
It's also the number of personal power and learning to be authentic. 8s
are excellent organizers who want to be the boss, learning to use power
responsibly. |
| 9 |
endings, finishings, completion; ruled by
Scorpio
Nine is the last number in numerology (1 - 9), and has the
properties of all the numbers. 9s are intuitive, emotional, and
compassionate, but they must learn how stay detached and rise again after
feeling despair. |
Besides these main numbers, there are also
the master numbers. The master numbers you are likely to see are 11, 22, and
33.
| 11 |
ruled by Sagittarius
Number 11s are
here to inspire, to help others achieve a higher purpose, and to shed
light on other's troubles. They are intuitive and idealistic. 11s can be
high-strung, fanatical, and in love with ideals; at the same time, they
are insightful and filled with star quality. |
| 22 |
ruled by Aquarius
22s are master
builders who can see the whole picture, and who can take ideas and make
them into reality. They mix innovation with practicality and spiritual
wisom. Frequently, 22s become leaders with far-reaching influences; they
are usually drawn to working on the corporate level, or on projects that
influence everyone. |
| 33 |
ruled by Pisces
33 is the number of
healing and unconditional love - that is, love at its highest level. This
number usually requires self-sacrifice, and 33s are often sensitive to the
sacrifices of others. They teach through their profound love of others.
33s are known for inspiring compassion in
others. |
Now that you know what the numbers mean, why
don't we take a look at some other names? Any volunteers out there? Ah,
wonderful! Just a moment... we'll get to all of you...
