In this article, we'll discuss the spiritual meaning of numbers and learn how to determine the life lesson number based on
the birth date. The life lesson number reflects what we've incarnated to learn,
and affects everything from our personal preferences to our overall life paths.
There is much more one can do with numerology, however, such as character analysis
and more based on one's birth name.
The first thing to understand about numerology is how to reduce numbers. Any
number greater than nine is reduced to a single digit by adding its components
together. Hence, the number 13 is 1 +3 =4. The number 237 is 2 + 3 + 7 = 12
= 3. As one advances in numerological knowledge, the original number lends specific
flavor to the reduced number, hence a 14/5 has a different feeling than a 23/5,
but for beginning purposes, we'll work with the simple numbers 1 through 9.
To determine your own life lesson, write down your birth date numbers with
the month, day and year. For example, if you were born December 15, 1960, you
would write
12 5 1960
Be sure to write the full number of the year of birth, in this case, "1960"
versus simply "60."
This then becomes 12 + 15 + 16 (1 + 9 + 6 + 0).
12 + 15 + 16 = 43/7
The life lesson number is a 7.
Another example:
The birth date is June 5, 1955.
We add 6 + 5 + 20 (1 + 9 + 5 + 5) to get 31/4. The life lesson number is a
4.
Explore your own life lesson number and those of your loved ones, and you may
be amazed by how closely the numbers reflect individual traits and tendencies.
The spiritual meaning of the numbers are described below. If you are already learning your
lessons well, then you will reflect the traits described. If you're struggling
with your lessons, then you will find those issues particularly challenging,
and notice that they have come up repeatedly in your life and experiences.
Life Lesson Number 1: The one is the number of the leader. If your life lesson
is a 1, you have incarnated to learn how to be independent, creative and strong.
Your challenge is to push forward like a pioneer into new worlds and original
realms of thought and experience. There is tendency to be self-focused and overly
driven, and above all impatient, and this must be balanced with the needs of
others and realistic limitations. One's are generally competitive and outgoing,
and usually a step ahead of the crowd. You're a natural inventor or innovator;
your challenge is to have confidence in yourself and act to manifest your dreams.
One's often go into business for themselves, or move to the top of existing
organizations or structures to lead.
Life Lesson Number 2: Two's are nurturers, and make excellent support people.
They say that behind every successful person is a good man or woman, and these
are generally the two's who get everything done. Two's are usually not direct
or confrontational, but more gentle and feminine. The two learns how to remain
behind the scenes and do what must be done without need for acknowledgement
or praise. The two rarely stands alone, but is at his or her best in a partnership
or group endeavor. A challenge for two's is to balance giving with personal
needs, as they tend to be "too nice." Cooperation is a key issue,
and it comes naturally to most born of this vibration. Two's are also innate
diplomats and readily able to see everyone's feelings and needs and ease hurt
feelings. Two's make excellent assistants, nurses, doctors, teachers and ministers.
Life Lesson Number 3: This is the artist in the crowd. Regardless of your favored
mode of expression, if your life lesson is a 3, you're sure to possess a great
deal of raw talent. Three's have a burning desire for self-expression, and a
great love of aesthetic pleasures. Beauty and comfort blossom under the attention
of a three, and all are charmed by the three's innate charisma and facility
with language. There is a tendency to flit from this to that, though a three
who possesses focus and discipline can become a master in any of the arts. This
is an idea person, the one who thinks things up and then turns them over to
two's or four's. Three's love freedom, especially freedom of expression, and
have a natural facility for creating, writing, teaching and motivational speaking.
Sales is another good choice, as three's are naturally charming and social.
Life Lesson Number 4: This is the builder and organizer. Four's are hard working
and practical, and determined to erect a solid foundation for the future. Discipline
is natural, and four's tend to be conservative and reliable. This is also a
very physical number, and material security is high on the list of priorities.
Four's tend to be good with money, as they are careful spenders and planners.
There is a tendency to be overly conservative, serious or close-minded; a challenge
for four's is to learn how to balance careful planning with living for today.
Four's come to learn how persistence eventually pays off. They tend to work
hard when younger, but then reap great rewards for their efforts later in life.
Four's are natural managers, as they have an innate ability to keep the big
picture in focus and work toward long-term goals.
Life Lesson Number 5: The five comes to explore and experiment. Five's crave
freedom, and are generally infused with a great deal of wanderlust. They're
naturally adventurous, and reluctant to settle down or commit. They like to
know they can change their minds or their directions on a whim. Travel is a
natural love, and anything that keeps change moving through their lives is likely
to be attractive. Adventure beckons; favorite sports may be white water rafting
or mountain climbing. While fives generally have apt intellects, they also tend
to lack the discipline for anything that fails to capture their fancies, for
they shun monotony. They're ever learning, however, and a major goal of an individual
with this life lesson is to further his or her knowledge base. Books and classes
naturally appeal. Fives are very social, and are skillful in any career that
deals with the public. Sales are a good choice of career, as fives are charming
and persuasive. Fives may end up working in several different careers in their
insatiable quest for novelty or change.
Life Lesson Number 6: Your goal is to develop a sense of responsibility for
your family and community. Commitment and compassion are key words of the six,
and there is a great focus here on domestic devotion and the needs of others.
The six must learn how to put aside the desires of the ego and remain true to
commitments. The six is a keen judge of what is fair, and a natural as a sympathetic
ear or shoulder to cry on. The six is here to learn how to serve others; this
number is generally associated with Christ consciousness. Sixes make natural
teachers, ministers, nurses, medical researchers, lawyers, veterinarians and
social workers.
Life Lesson Number 7: This is the number of the seeker, the one who goes in
search of answers to life's most puzzling questions. Sevens are often hard to
understand from the outside; they tend to be eccentric, or to see the world
differently from others. They have keen but restless minds. They are natural
philosophers, thinkers and meditators. They tend to be interested in spiritual
matters, the occult and all that is mysterious. Because of their keen intellects,
science and research may also beckon. They are generally adept with mathematics,
or at least at deciphering mysteries. They are most comfortable when alone;
social situations or loud people unnerve them. They make great private investigators,
researchers, scientists or analysts.
Life Lesson Number 8: If this is your life lesson, you're here to use your
considerable personal power to achieve high aims. This is the number of ambition
and achievement. Your goal is to learn how to work and how to manifest abundance.
You're also good at helping others to realize their potential. You lead by example,
and learn this lifetime above all how to achieve success. You're a natural authoritarian,
and must learn how to use money or material goods to further your aims. A challenge
for you is learning how to create material abundance without losing sight of
what is really lasting or important. You have great pride and strong ambition.
Honor, dignity and reputation are important to you, and you're generally competitive.
Eights are natural celebrities or politicians, athletes or business giants.
Life Lesson Number 9: This is the number of the idealist. Nines love humanity
and carry a clear vision of how things should be. Nine is the number of patience
and understanding, and has a very Buddhist aura due to the peace and wisdom
of its vibration. If you're a 9, you see things as from above, and are therefore
designed to show others the way through your own example. You are highly connected
to Spirit, and often serve as the hand of Spirit in the lives of others. You
may be a healer or a psychic, an educator or in some medical profession. Communication
comes easily to you, and you make a natural politician, although you are more
driven by your ideals than a quest for power. Nines often suffer from depression
or disappointment as they try to reconcile how they know things should be with
how they really are. Perhaps your greatest challenge is remaining optimistic
when the rest of the world seems so off course.
