The Life Path Number
Your Life Path of birth date number describes your essential self and your basic direction, opportunities, and abilities. Determining your Life Path number is easy. Simply add together the numbers of the month, day, and year in which you were born.
For example, My oldest brother was born on July 2, 1971. To find his birth date number, begin with 2(for the second day). Then add 7 (because July is seventh month). Now you have a total of 9. Next, add the digits of the year. In this case, it would be 1 + 9 + 7 + 1 = 18. Now add 18 + 9 (the total of his birth month and date). The total is 27. Many numerologists express this formula this way:
2 July 1971
(2) + (7) + (1 + 9 + 7 + 1) = 27
In Numerology, double digits are usually "reduced" to a single digit between 1 and 9. To reduce the number 19, just add the two digits together. When 2 + 7 are added, the resulting number is 9. Nine is the Life Path (or birth date number) of my oldest brother.
The Master Numbers: 11 and 22
Most numerologists believe that the "Master numbers" 11 and 22 have extra-special symbolic significance. As a result, if your Life Path (or any other) number adds up to a total of 11 or 22, it is not further reduced. These are the only exceptions. All other numbers are reduced automatically.
Life Path 1
Determined, energetic, and independent, Ones are often known for their leadership ability. They tend to be innovative and creative, and they are often single-minded in the pursuit of a goal. Ones typically prefer to work alone, though they are often popular and well respected among their peers. Famous Ones include George Washington, Martin Luther King Jr., Lech Walesa, Mikhail Gorbachev, and Florence Nightingale.
Life Path 2
Partnership, cooperation, and diplomacy are the traits of the Life Path 2. Twos value communication and are patient, sensitive listeners whose focus tends to be on peaceful coexistence. Although sometimes overcautious, twos are generally willing to lead as long as their personal partnership foundation is strong enough to support them. Famous Twos include Bill Clinton, Ronald Reagan, Diana Ross, Madonna, and Prince Charles.
Life Path 3
Outgoing, enthusiastic, and witty, those on Life Path 3 are frequently the life of the party. They tend to be extremely creative and inspire others with their optimistic, carefree lifestyle.

Famous threes include Bill Cosby, Jayne Mansfield, Salvador Dali, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Alfred Hitchcock.

Life Path 6
Those on Life Path 6 are involved in the pursuit of wisdom, harmony, and understanding. They tend to be home oriented and domestic and thrive on meaningful relationships.

Famous Sixes include Steven Spielberg, Meryl Streep, Stevie Wonder, Vanessa Redgrave, and Glenda Jackson.

While Sevens tend to be secretive and are often loners, they are also perceptive, analytical, and spiritually evolved. They typically plan for a long period and then act quickly and decisively. Sevens are truthful, loyal, and deep thinkers. They tend to be perfectionists with a well-developed intuition. Famouse Sevens include John F. Kennedy, Marilyn Monroe, Winston Churchill, Princess Diana, and Nikita Khrushchev.

A high standard of personal conduct is the norm for Nines. Famous Nines include Mahatma Gandhi, Shirley MacLaine, Brigitte Bardot, Orson Welles, and Dustin Hoffman.
Life Path 11
This is the life path of the visionary. Combining the humanitarian interest of the Nine and the cooperation and sensitivity of the Two, Elevens put idealism into action.

Famous Elevens include Shirley Temple Black, Robert Kennedy, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, and Julian Bond.

Twenty-twos typically take pleasure in their exceptional self-discipline. They make generous and wise leaders.
Famous Twenty-Twos include Anne Bancroft, Kirk Douglas, and Sid Caesar.
Character Number
Your Character number, or personal name number, describes the essential you. Although it is sometimes referred to as the number of your destiny, must numerologists view it as an indicator of your basic identity. You Character number signifies the actions you take in life and how you interact with other people.
Other numbers, which will be explained later, describe what you wish would happen (the Heart's Desire or vowel number) or what you perceive to be true (the Image or consonant number). But the Character number describes what is.
Although the Character number is the most important number related to your name, it is considered to be slightly less significant than the Life Path number. Why? Because your personal name can change. Nicknames develop, people marry, and professionals, celebrities for example, change their names--and to a certain degree, their identities!
To determine your Character number, just add together the numbers associated with each letter of your name. You will find these associations on the following alphabet/numerology chart:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
A B C D E F G H I
J K L M N O P Q R
S T U V W X Y Z
For example, place the numerical equivalents under each letter of the name and add them up:
L E I A
3 5 9 1 = 18
O R G A N A
6 9 7 1 5 1 = 29
Next, reduce the numbers of each name:
18 = 1 + 8 => 1 + 8 = 9
29 = 2 + 9 => 2 + 9 = 11
Add these numbers together:
9 + 11 = 20
Reduce the final number, if necessary. (Remember, 11 and 22 are not further reduced.)
2 + 0 = 2
Leia Organa's Character number is 2. However, when she married Han Solo, her destiny (like her name) changed.
S O L O
1 6 3 6 = 16
LEIA ORGANA SOLO
18 29 16
9 + 11 + 7 = 27
Reduce the number:
2 + 7 = 9
When Leia Organa married Han Solo, her Character number changed from a 2 to a 9.
There are nine basic Character paths, plus two more for the Master numbers 11 and 22.
Character Number 1
One is the Character number of the initiator. Ones may charge in where others fear to tread. Full of ideas, determined to lead the way, and fortified with an abundance of energy, they are confident, brave, and sometimes domineering. Ones have the ability to rally others and inspire them to do (or at least) try the impossible.
Character Number 2
Two is the Character number of the diplomat. More concerned with peaceful, respectful coexistence than with issues of control or power, Twos often work behind the scenes to ensure successful completion of any project. Twos tend to be reserved and quiet, but they are a deep well of emotion, intuition, and wisdom.
Character Number 3
Three is the Character number of the bon vivant. Threes love life, people, and experience, and if they have their choice, they are usually at the center of the party. Witty, self-expressive, and creative, Threes thoroughly enjoy social interaction. Ambition, independence, and a vast restlessness are associated with Character number 3.
Character Number 4
Four is the Character number of the builder. Stability and comfort are or paramount importance to Fours, and no empire is too large to manage. They are hardworking, conservative, and practical. Fours have the ability to see the larger picture as well as the details, but they are extremely unlikely to take a risk.
Character Number 5
Five is the Character number of the freedom lover. Changeable and adventurous, Fives dread routine and often consider the quest for freedom of the mind, spirit, and body to be their main life purpose. They are sensual, sometimes irresponsible, but often inspiring to others--and themselves.
Character Number 6
Six is the Character number of the compassionate. Dedicated to the concepts of balance and harmony, Sixes tend to be understanding, introspective, and magnetic. They are drawn to all things beautiful, such as art, romance, and love. And Sixes make it their life's work to bring this awarenes of the power of beauty to others.
Character Number 7
Seven is the Character number of the mystic. Seemingly tuned into the secrets and mysteries of life, Sevens are on a quest to understand the cosmic rhythms of life. Sevens tend to be solitary, deep, passionate, and intuitive. They are on their own path--and often prefer not to dally with others along the way.
Character Number 8
Eight is the Character number of the goal-oriented. Achievement and success are at the top of the priority list for typical Eights, though the road to glory is not always easy for them to travel. They are usually persistant and materialistic, but they know that, ultimately, authority emanates from justice, and they act accordingly.
Character Number 9
Nine is the Character number of the selfless. Concerned with raising the consciousness of themselves and others, Nines tend to measure behavior against a set of higher laws. They are willing to fight for what is right, and they often show great courage and compassion, though Nines are sometimes impulsive and reckless in their quest.
Character Number 11

They are often inspirational to others, and are appreciated for their ability to nurture talent, understanding, and confidence, though they can be demanding and impractical.
Character Number 22
Twenty-Two is the Character number of the administrator. Excellent organizers, mediators, and advisers, Twenty-twos are capable of balancing the great opposites--reason and intuition. They tend to value the spiritual aspects of life and are often masters of self-control. Twenty-twos are known for their ability to design and then implement a plan of action.
Your Heart's Desire or Vowel Number
The Heart's Desire of vowel number describes what is desired from the experience of life. It often shows hidden motives, ambitions, and dreams. It tends to show potentiality and possibility rather than actuality.
Numerologists often consider the Heart's Desire number and the Life Path number as a pair. If both numbers are odd or both are even, the Life Path and the Heart's Desire are frequently harmonious. If one number is odd, however, and the other is not, tension may develop. This tension is actually an opportunity in disguise. Resolve it, and you dramtically accelerate your personal evolution.
Determine your Heart's Desire number in the same way you determined your Character number, using the same chart. For the Heart's Desire number, though, only count the vowels--a, e, i, o, u (1, 5, 9, 6, and 3 respectively). The letter y (7) is considered a vowel only if there are no other vowels in your name.
For example:
M A R A
1 1 = 2
J A D E
1 5 = 6
Add the two numbers together and reduce, if possible:
2 + 6 = 8
Eight is Mara Jade's Heart's Desire or vowel number.
Heart's Desire Number 1
Those with vowel number 1 tend to desire control. They are typically original thinkers who want to take the lead and keep it. Vowel number Ones tend to be focused on themselves and are sometimes impatient with others. They often have a bright, optimistic streak and a great deal of energy.
Heart's Desire Number 2
Those with vowel number 2 often desire inspiration, community, and a sense of shared goals.
They typically prefer to work behind the scenes, and harmony and peace are the ideals they seek. Vowel number Twos are sensitive and tuned into undercurrents. They are uncomfortable in competitive, high-stress environments.
Heart's Desire Number 3
Those with vowel number 3 are typically interested in getting on the fast track to fun and games. They thrive in a stimulating, creative environment, and seek to mix ambition with high-spirited human interaction.
Threes are often perceptive and intuitive, and they take a what-you-see-is-what-you-get stance at all times.
Heart's Desire Number 4
Those with vowel number 4 are not interested in surprises. Rather, they prefer predictability, organization, and security. Vowel number Fours are typically comfortable with the concepts of boundaries and discipline. They work hard for material and mental stability, and they reject impulsiveness and sudden change.
Heart's Desire Number 5
Those with vowel number 5 are often interested in progressive ideas and new concepts of freedom. They tend to thrive on change and require minimal periods of adjustment. Vowel number Fives are courageous; to them, a boundary of any sort is meant to be crossed in the service of a new and better environment.
Heart's Desire Number 6
Those with vowel number 6 tend to be service oriented. They seek a perfect world and will work tirelessly to produce it. Assuming responsibility comes easily to vowel number Sixes, but accepting a lack of responsibility in others does not. They desire truth, justice, and fairness for all.
Heart's Desire Number 7
Those with vowel number 7 tend to be very private individuals. They need to arrive at answers in their own way and in their own time--and they do not want, need, or appreciate advice. Exploration of their personal nature is a goal for Sevens. They tend to be analytical and intuitive in equal proportions.
Heart's Desire Number 8
Those with vowel number 8 tend to be extremely driven to succeed. They approach the tasks of life with precision and determination and take full responsibility for their actions--whether they succeed or fail. Vowel number Eights take great pleasure in being of service to others, though they sometimes need to be reminded to do it.
Heart's Desire Number 9
Those with vowel number 9 are searchers. They seek (and give) compassion, but they also thrive on wide experience. Some vowel number Nines are restless and footloose. Many have a wide creative streak that needs expression. Extremely idealistic and prone to dreaminess, Nines ask for (and get) the most out of life.
Heart's Desire Number 11
Those with vowel number 11 tend to believe in a perfect world--and they try to create it. They are able to keep their eyes firmly focused on their humanitarian goals while never neglecting the potential of the moment. Elevens seek to inspire others to be all that they can be--and they usually provide and excellent example.
Heart's Desire Number 22
Those with vowel number 22 are often interested in combining optimistic idealism with downhome practicality. They not only speculate about a better way, they bring it into reality--with a minimum of fuss. Twenty-twos aspire to wisdom and understanding. They are typicallty strong in mind and body, and provide a sense of stability for others.
Image or Consonant Number
The manner in which you present yourself to the world, the way you see yourself in your private moments, the first impression you make on others, and the self-image you hold dear--this is the domain of the Image number.
Like the Heart's Desire number, the Image number is often considered in relation to the Life Path number. If both numbers are odd or both numbers are even, chances are excellent that the Image and the Life Path combine harmoniously. If one is odd and the other is even, however, the image you project may be in conflict with your true self. The tension created by the gap between image and reality may cause you to miss opportunities for personal evolution. Awareness is the tool that can transcend this split between the real and the "imagined."
Determine your consonant number by adding the numerical values of the consonants in your name, using the same chart. Do not include the vowels. For example:
L U K E
3 2 = 5
S K Y W A L K E R
1 2 7 5 3 2 9 = 29
Add the two numbers together and reduce:
5 + 29 = 34
34 = 3 + 4
3 + 4 = 7
Seven is Luke Skywalker's Image or consonant number.
Image Number 1
The number 1 image is one of self-reliance. Consonant Ones are invested in appearing competent, confident, and determined. They dread any hint of weakness or indecision, and would rather be decisive and wrong than doubtful or hesitant. Ones are typically compelled to project a strong ego.
Image Number 2
The number 2 image is one of warm and peaceful friendliness. Consonant Twos wish to appear cooperative and accomodating. Their tactfulness and diplomacy allow them to project an image of quiet self-containment, though Twos are sometimes accused of passivity or dependence on others.
Image Number 3
The number 3 image is one of joyfulness and charm. Consonant Threes wish to present themselves as talented, creative, and high spirited. They take pride in their independence and expansiveness. Openmindedness and versatility round out the chosen images of the consonant 3.
Image Number 4
The number 4 image is one of worldly solidity. Consonant Fours pride themselves on their practicality, groundedness, and ability to build a secure foundation. They view themselves as serious and comitted, and they are proud to be called "pillars of the community."
Image Number 5
The number 5 image is one of easy versatility. Consonant Fives see themselves as adventurous and freedom loving. They take pride in their ability to adapt without stress, and they value innovation above stability. Fives view themselves as sexy and mysterious--and most other people do, too.
Image Number 6
The number 6 image is one of balance and equilibrium. Consonant Sixes appear to combine idealism and responsibility, wisdom and romance, humility and artfulness. They gravitate toward beautiful environments and beautiful people, and very much wish to be admired, though they rarely admit it.
Image Number 7
The number 7 image is one of mysterious detachment. Consonant Sevens are on a philosophical quest--and they don't want any help along the way. They appear to be intellectual, reflective, and solitary.
Sevens take pride in their moodiness, which looks like passion from the outside.
Image Number 8
The number 8 image is one of powerful ambition. Consonant Eights want to appear to be on the fast track to success--even if the hurdles are apparently daunting to others. They crave the respect that is given to those in authority and often exhibit aggressiveness in their pursuits.
Image Number 9
The number 9 image is one of selfless humanitarianism. Consonant Nines are dramatically interested in higher consciousness--with the accent on drama. They wish to appear wise, independent, and creative. Their dynamic presentation usually attracts others.
Image Number 11
The number 11 image is one of cosmic vision. Consonant Elevens wish to be viewed by others as "tuned in" to the humanitarian laws of justice and liberty for all. Sometimes, however, their image is a bit in advance of their actions, though many Elevens "catch up" as they progress through life.
Image Number 22
The number 22 image is highly competent. They like to see themselves as totally organized and in control--even of the details. Image Twenty-twos wish to be viewed as spiritually evolved as well as masters of the material plane. They can sometimes be too focused on projecting a perfect image . . . and neglect the hard work that such a reality requires.
Power Numbers
The Power number signifies what can be most easily attained in a person's lifetime. It combines the influences of the birth date and the personal name numbers. If there is apparent resistence to the path of the Power number, a careful examination of the Image (consonant) number could help clear any obstacles.
To determine your Power number, combine your birth date number and your personal name number. For example, Abraham Lincoln's Life Path number is 5 (birthday: 2/12/1809); his Character number is 6. The sum of 5 + 6 is 11. Because 11 is a Master number and therefore not reduced, Abraham Lincoln's Power number is 11. And what better example of the Power of 11--equality, fairness, and justice--than Honest Abe Lincoln?
The paths of the Power numbers can usually be expressed very simply:
Power Number 1
Self-reliance, enthusiasm, and leadership
Power Number 2
Receptivity, tactfulness, and wisdom
Power Number 3
Optimism, generosity, and communicativeness
Power Number 4
Movitvation, responsibility, and endurance
Power Number 5
Clarity, versatility, and passion
Power Number 6
Benevolence, compassion, and balance
Power Number 7
Spirituality, truthfulness, and sensitivity
Power Number 8
Determination, flair, and confidence
Power Number 9
Broad-mindedness, self-control, and humanitarianism
Power Number 11
Justice, fairness, and equality
Power Number 22
Mastery, self-control, and peace
Birthday Numbers
The most important numerological concept is the Life Path number, which combines the month, day, and year of your birth, but you also have a Birthday number--the day on which you were born. Understanding the qualities of the thirty-one possible Birthday numbers (which correspond to the thirty-one days of the longest months) can provide even greater insight into your personality.
1 stands by itself, an indication of independence and originality. It implies the single-minded determination that is often associated with starting the job--and then completing it. A powerful number of initiation or beginning, it is full of potential and probability. It represents unity of spirit, mind, and body.
2 represents the principles of duality and reflection. It signals an innate ability to balance opposites and to see the similarities and connections rather than separations and differences. Equilibrium and willingness to cooperate are often personality givens. Two is also an indication of a sharp memory and an understanding of cycles of all sorts.
3 is the number most often associated with creativity. It implies the ability to seize any opportunity and indicates freedom from feelings (real or imagined) of limitation or scarcity. Generosity is the natural result of this sense of abundance, a sense that typically extends to spiritual, material, and emotional natures.
4 symbolizes stability, centeredness, and a solid foundation. It implies a conservative approach to life, and a steadiness that often results in long-term gains. Fours are interested in building and maintaining. This number typically signifies a painstaking, careful, and prudent personality that avoids risk and rarely acts impulsively.
5 is the number of intuition, which is considered by many numerologists to be an extension of the power of reason. It is often associated with a desire for balance and harmony. Five represents confidence and adaptability. It also signifies the five senses--and, consequently, a devotion to the pleasures of the flesh.
6 represents the desire to see behind appearances. It indicates a very highly developed ability to collect the information necessary to make solid judgements and to detect any false notes. Six views responsibility as a privilege and is reliable and trustworthy, but it sometimes implies a personality prone to anxiety and worry.
7 is the number of focus. It implies an ability to isolate a particular area for development and the drive to see a project through to completion. Concentration, planning, and nurturing are the traits most often associated with the number seven, and in order to achieve them, Sevens often need much time alone.
8 implies strength. It combines desire and wisdom, and the result is a well-balanced, goal-oriented personality. Eights have endurance, determination, and the courage to speak their minds. Because Eights are cosmically connected to both the past and the future, they are known for their interesting blend of vision and prudence.
9 indicates completion, the end of the evolution of consciousness that began with the number one. It symbolizes compassion, selflessness, and the higher mind. Nines seek wisdom and are often respected for their humanitarianism. Nine is considered an emotional number--but the emotion is tempered by a commitment to deep understanding.
10 begins the second cycle. It combines the powers of concentration and direction implied by one with the confident, carefree spirit associated with the zero. Ten incorporates the experience of the numbers from one to nine, but adds a sense of humor and a calm acceptance of the cycles of life.
11 is perhaps the most balanced of all the numbers. It indicates a tendency to weigh and measure all things with the ultimate goal of personal equlibrium. This ability to avoid extremes allows the imagination to produce positive alternatives and directions. Eleven is a number of dedicated, benevolent leadership.
12 is the number of surrender. It is the quintessential "go with the flow" number. As such, it implies uncomplicated confidence in the outcome and trust that the universe is unfolding as it should. Twelve represents the path of least resistance--and the sure knowledge that that particular path is positive and productive.
13 symbolizes transformation. It requires that outmoded or useless ideas and patterns be eliminated to make room for new, more positive ones. Incorrectly viewed as an unlucky number, thirteen actually indicates the potential for greater insight and an ability to link action with fearlessness.
14 signifies moderation. It combines the originality and self-determination of the one with the conservative tendencies and stability of the four. Fourteen implies a personality able to triumph over temptation. Yet the fourteen influence is rarely stuffy or prudish. Rather, it frees the individual from the need for immediate gratification.
15 is related to perception. It's influence allows the mind to exert some loving control over the emotional nature, so misperceptions and misunderstandings are minimized. Fifteen indicates an ability to make astute judgments--even under pressure. It hints that a change of attitude is often the first step to success of any sort.
16 indicates spiritual awakening. Its influence ushers in many important life lessons--and not all of them are reached in the quiet state of meditation. Sometimes the walls of the status quo come crashing down under the influence of sixteen, but there is ample opportunity for freedom and personal liberation in the "new order" that is soon established.
17 is often viewed as the calm that follows the storm (of sixteen). It signifies a state of peaceful rest in which ideas, emotions, and values can be calmly examined. Seventeen embraces the potential inherant in change. It is often associated with a tendency toward healthy detachment.
18 symbolizes regeneration. It embodies the concept of reorganization and revision. The strength of the eight combined with the drive of the one creates a fertile field for creative expression and personal prosperity. Eighteen implies innocence that is rarely contaminated by cynicism or pessimism.
19 represents the brilliance associated with mental clarity. A sharp intellect combined with compassion (implied by the nine) form the foundation of the nineteen influence. It indicates the marriage of idealism and maturity in the mental realm, and it often creates an optimistic, resourceful, and resilient personality.
20 is associated with rebirth. It begins a new cycle that is built on a foundation of cooperation and connection but includes the ability to effortlessly modify conditions (external and internal) for greater self-expression. Twenty indicates a capacity for wonder, curiousity, and enthusiasm.
21 symbolizes maturity. It indicates a willing acceptance of responsibility and a deep appreciation of the joys of life. It implies that participation in life rests on a sense of conscious connection and awareness, but it also stresses the importance of lightness and humor too. A well-balanced life is indicated by the number twenty-one.
22 represents generosity. The urge for cooperation, harmony, and peace is typically a strong influence. The imagination's power to duplicate or reflect an ideal is only just hinted at in this mysterious number--but only hinted at because secrecy and self-containment are also part of the legacy of twenty-twos.
23 symbolizes the unique ability to indulge the self--within healthy limits. Because it adds up to five, the number of the human being, twenty-three glories in a luxurious appreciation of the mind and body. Rarely conservative about pampering, it provides a strong example to those who are prone to abuse or neglect the human temple.
24 indicates a talent for decision making. It signifies an ability to see the intimate relationship between cause and effect as it will play out in the future. Consequently, the influence of twenty-four often brings future stability. Trustworthiness is typically built in to the personality impacted by the vibration of twenty-four.
25 implies self-acceptance. Awareness of one's strength and limitations is the particular gift of this numerical vibration. It signals a deeper, more realistic understanding of the self; under the influence, the individual is able to plan more effectively, cultivate talents, and learn to accept help from others when necessary.
26 indicates a desire to do service for others. It implies a basic capacity to uplift and inspire those in spiritual need as well as the inner strength to guide with wisdom. Under this influence, the individual is not depleted but fulfilled by giving. The drive to assist is its own reward for those affected by the vibration of twenty-six.
27 signifies freedom from illusion. It embraces what is real in a new and exciting way, releasing childish dreams and fantasies with affectionate detachment. A sense of newfound freedom accompanies this ability to enter the realm of true reality, and potential for personal growth and development is limitless.
28 symbolizes the settling spirit. Less prone to take impulsive action or experience unnecessary emotional turmoil, the influence of this number is steadying and secure. Twenty-eight combines strength and cooperation, and this powerful force is apparent both within the individual and in his or her interactions in the world.
29 is the number of anticipation. It assists in the subtle transformation of hope into confident expectation, which prepares the spirit to take the necessary action for positive change. Optimism built on success in the past is the domain of the twenty-nine influence, providing a firm foundation in positivity.
30 initiates a new cycle built on abundance and creativity. It is often expressed in the personality through great insight, wit, and productivity. Self-expression and joy are essential to their inner happiness. Confidence, a carefree quality, and a willingness to leap before looking are traits often associated with thirty.
31 signifies new directions or a fresh approach that reinvents the familiar and changes it to the exotic. It indicates an ability to harness the forces of creativity and channel it into any area through powers of concentration. Deep commitment to creative work--and the joy of doing it--characterize the thirty-one vibration.
Daily Vibration Numbers (Key to Harmony)
The Daily Vibration number is the same for everyone. To determine it, add the numbers of the current day, month, and year; then reduce them to a single digit. The resulting Vibration number changes each day.
To attune yourself to the daily vibration, meditate on the principle associated with the number. Allow the principle to express itself through your actions, thoughts, and words.
Principles of Daily Vibration

Correspondences and Compatibilities
In numerology, a number is never just a number. It is part of a larger, cosmic system that includes a correspondence to a planet, a stone, and a particular part of the human body. Numbers from one to nine also provide an indication of an area of exceptional psychic development (called the number's "attribute")--and even a friendly warning about a potential pitfall.

The Alphabet's Hidden Meaning
All letters, like all numbers, have special significance too. Understanding the nature of letters can increase your awareness of the complexity behind your birth name--or the name you choose for child or youself.
Bear in mind that the first letter is the strongest influence in the name (or word). It shows your attitude toward life on the material plane. The first vowel will indicate your emotional nature, and the last letter will provide information about your ability to complete projects.
Additionally, each letter falls into one of four categories: mental (indicating a tendency toward abstraction and analysis); emotional (geared toward creativity and connection); intuitive (tending toward psychic connection and insight); and physical (prone toward practicality and conservativeness).
To interpret a name, you must meditate on the relationships, connections, and tensions within the whole.
A is mental in character, assertive, independent, and aggressive. It is more likely to lead than follow.
B is emotional and sensitive in character and sometimes demanding. It is more inclined to value cooperation than independence.
C is intuitive in character, restless, creative, and open-hearted. It luxuriates in the spotlight and craves attention.
D is physical in character, stable, practical, and conservative. It prefers following rules to changing them.
E is physical in character, direct, communicative, and flighty. It is freedom loving and resists ties that bind.
F is intuitive in character, drawn toward others but often shy. Friendliness and creativity are often expressed.
G is mental in character, a mystical letter that is almost (but not quite) self-contained. Privacy is crucial.
H is mental in character, a symbol of upward mobility. It requires stability and financial success.
I is emotional in character and self-involved. It tends to romanticize and is prone to idealism.
J is mental in character, ambitious but sometimes lacks endurance. It can rock in its resolve without support.
K is intuitive in character and able to influence others. It has natural leadership potential.
L is mental in character, lighthearted and easygoing. It gives and receives affection easily.
M is physical in character and often turbulent--by choice. It craves the highs and lows that make life an adventure.
N is mental in character and people oriented. Popularity and the public eye bring happiness.
O is emotional in character--the free-spirited searcher. It is self-contained and eternally optimistic.
P is mental in character and philosophical. The quest for deep understanding is an absolute priority.

S is emotional in nature, enjoying the twists and turns of life. It negotiates the unexpected with aplomb.
T is emotional in character and relationship oriented. It views balance and equilibrium as the supreme goals.
U is intuitive in character, seeking fulfillment through group contact. Social ties stabilize the U.
V is intuitive in character, the plan maker. It is known for its electrifying intensity and singleness of purpose.
W is physical in character, always craving change. Accomplishing a goal creates the desire for a new path to pave.
X is emotional in character and exotic. It is charismatic and charged with energy, no matter what direction it follows.
Y is intuitive in character, able to see options where others don't. The sense of inner direction is enhanced.
Z in emotional in character, often destined for fame. It commands attention naturally--and revels in recognition.
