FAQ: Miscellaneous

Q: - Thank you for the insight as to who we are and why we are. But I am new to this and am stumped as to exactly which of all these numbers that I "am". For example in the number meanings, which of these numbers do I use to find my one meaning?

A: Think of it like this; your "Soul Urge" is that which your heart knows is right for you. It is the magnet that pulls your attention when you are allowing yourself to "go with the flow." When we live our lives according to "our truth" we are living in harmony with our Souls Urge. Your "Persona" describes the way you carry this out physically. How you seem to the world around you and the way you go about taking care of business. Together, the Soul Urge and Persona make up your total "Expression" which is who you are on the whole. What you were and are from birth. Talents, and weaknesses and the essence of "you". When you change your name, you don't change the true essence of you, but you do alter the types of desires and experiences you have and the way you appear to others. When you compare yourself to another, the only way to determine your 'deepest level' of compatibility is to use the full birth names. Comparing signature names or stage names tells you more about your day-to-day compatibility rather than 'soul-connection' and longevity. The Destiny, which is derived from your birthdate, describes the main flow of your life. The course you are on and what you are learning to be. This is where your whole life is leading, your purpose and ultimate intention in this life. There are many many additional aspects to be calculated from your name and birthdate, but these can give you the main idea of who you are and where you are going.

Q: How much of this do I really get wrapped in? Some of the things I read in a 'Numerology Kit' I bought weren't what I wanted to hear. Is it kind of like going to a psychic and just taking what you want or is there really face value to all this. Or is it just what someone wrote in a book to SELL? Help. I'm in a state of some confusion of where I want my life to go and thought this would be a guideline with value.

A: Don't get too dismayed by any of it. First of all, you are not just 'a number', you are made up of many numbers and vibrations all working together. Some counteract others and some bring others into balance. It's all part of the miracle of "You" but it's not meant to make you feel bad about your self or your prospects. There really is unlimited possibility and potential for each number and every number is a special aspect/talent of 'God'. Many books do write to 'sell' and the consciousness of the author is all you can expect to absorb. Not every author is all that conscious and knowledgeable (unfortunately!). I don't personally know about the author of the kit you are using so I am in no way judging her/him or anyone in particular - it's just been my own experience on my journey of learning numerology. The best test I find is my own intuition and this is what I recommend to everybody. Try it out and test it for yourself. If something sounds untrue or makes you feel bad, it's a sign that you are not in resonance with the author (they may be coming from a very limited point of view or focussing on the limited/shallow side of each number in their explanations). A reading of any kind should 'ring true', be easy to acknowledge how it fits with who you are and ultimately it should make you feel as though this author knows you quite well for having never met you! You know yourself best and sometimes an author can write about you in a way that actually helps you to remember traits and strengths that you have forgotten to make use of - but you know in your gut when it's true or false. Readings should be *uplifting* and affirmative. So ignore anything that doesn't fit that as being 'not for you' and move on. They are only supposed to be helpful tools and not hard and fast 'rules'. Have fun with it!

Q: My mother has studied Numerology for years, and recently I gave birth to my first child. She was born on Feb. 4, 2000, which she said is not a good thing. I don't think she will tell me the truth of what her birthdate means because she does not want to hurt my feelings and worry me. Is there anywhere that I can go to talk to someone about this so that I don't feel like my child is doomed to be cursed under the 4/8 cycle?

A: Hi Laura! hmmm... I don't see this birthdate as negative in the least! I wonder what kind of numerology you mother studied? Many eastern methods (chaledean, vedic) assign astrological planets to the numbers and then compare the relationship between the planets. I have not found this to be as accurate for me - at least not in predicting day to day life, the Destiny and character of the person. The "malefic" or "good luck" influences of interacting planets is more often indicative of past life issues that create general challenges and opportunities in the current life. Basically, your daughter is 'blessed' with an 8 Destiny. She should be strong and self assured (make sure that her name is a higher number than 8. 22 would be excellent! Since you've probably already named her, her birth name will define 'who' she is at the core and any variation you add now (or later) would provide extra 'tools' that will assist her with her Destiny. So, if she has an odd number birth name Expression, you might want to change the lettering or give her a nick name that would give her an even number total so that she is not warring within herself ('odd' against 'even'). It's always helpful for her name to be a higher number than her Destiny because it means that her name contains all of the vibrations necessary to achieve her Destiny - easier. A name that adds up to be a smaller number than the Destiny does dot mean anything 'bad', it just means that her Destiny will take more effort to achieve because she is missing that number in her make up. If her name contains any '8' assigned letters (h,Q,Z), this will help her too.

It's important to remember that there are no 'bad' number Destinies, only misunderstandings about how to live them out, and ill-preparedness due to an un-supportive name. Having an 8 Destiny is actually greatly benefited by having a 4 birthday. 4 is a very practical, organized person. Loyal, hard working, and honest. 8 is the number of the 'Boss'. She will be learning about what it means to control things; money, people, resources etc... so this is why many books say that 8 is the number of the 'executive' or the head of the company. Her 4 birthday will give her the added ability to focus her attention and get things done - what better combination for a successful, creative woman? Your daughter will earn her success and prosperity by her own hard work, but this is not 'bad luck', the work will seem easier for her because it's what she wants, and what makes her feel productive and happy. As I said before, make sure that her name helps her out. If it is made up of primarily odd numbers (1,3,5,7,9) - look at the birth name total (Expression), the vowel total (Soul Urge) and consonant total (Personality) - see if you can tweak it a little so that she gets more support from her name. Make sure to look at her total birth name (first, middle and last) to get her main core numbers and then look at what just her first name (as she will be called) vibrates to. There are many 'remedies' to help balance out name/birthdate imbalances - adding or subtracting letters, shortening or 'nicking' a name. Please try not to let the other interpretations frighten you. Your new daughter is a powerful soul who deliberately and joyfully came to learn many exciting new things. There are many many happy, wealthy, satisfied people born with 8 Destinies and 4 birthdays! She has every potential right now to be one of these and she will believe what you believe about her.

Wishing you love, laughter and awe-inspiring joy as you enjoy your beautiful new baby!

The Year 2000

Q: Hello, the 0 represents The Fool. What else does the number zero represent  - as in the year 2000? What does that 2000 represent?

A: The zero, in numerology is an 'intensifier' to a large degree. All vibrations are contained within it (rather than no vibration) and it is a sort of 'wild card' because of this. For the most part though, zero stands for; the Limitless, Unknowable, Truth, Purity, Love, All, Alpha and Omega, all possibility, First Cause, the Unmanifest, Unified Field, Source, Space, Consciousness, Cosmic Egg, God and attributes of God. So when we see a numbered followed by a zero, it is adding Power and protection to that number as well as a sort of 'purity' and intensification to the digit affected by zero. 2000 is followed by three zeros making it a triple-intensified 2! 2's keywords are; : duality, yin (as in yin/yang) division, polarity, choice, gestation, subtlety, 'behind the scenes', cooperation, service, harmony, support, waiting, diplomacy, patience, psychic, intuition, adaptable, empathic, partnerships, security, mediator, comparison, receptive, helper, collecting and saving, reproduction, Balancer of Opposites, subconscious memory, positive and negative - opposites living in harmony or coming together to co-create a third entity/possibility. 2 is the Priestess and all feminine aspects. We should see 'women issues' rising up to the surface - in the limelight. 'Women in power' will no longer have to mean women acting 'as men' but rather the intuitive, diplomatic, cooperating, kind, forgiving, nurturing, as well as the sensuous, seducing, emotional, waxing and waning aspects of femininity will be/are being regarded as powerful and influential.

Q: Thank you so much for the free numerology report. It is very interesting and accurate. this is the first time i have tried it. However i have a question: my birthday is 1-28-53 1. What is the difference between my "natal analysis" by year of last birthday vs. current year. The results are different {personal year 1 vs. personal year 11} and I don't know which one should i go by for 1998. 2. Also: does personal month 3, means the month of march and personal day 5 means the 5th of each month? thank you and pardon my ignorance on this subject.

A: The Personal Year is a vibration that blends your personal numbers (birth month and day) with the calendar year. Numerologists differ in their calculations here, where some say your personal year changes Jan. 1 of each year and others say it changes on your birthday. Which is the more powerful influence on you? Your personal cycle beginning on your first day on earth or the Julian calendar created 400 years ago? I have personally come to realize that both are true... On Jan 1st a new number influence does begin to affect you and it is empowered by mass consciousness agreeing to experience it together. The Calendar year we agree on, regardless of whether or not it is based on fact, is the same as collectively agreeing on a name. The name influence has an effect that can be observed. So on Jan 1, your personal vibration changes in part to the flavor of the current year and blends with your month and day creating your Personal Year. From your birthday of 1998 until the end of the year is when you will fully feel the influence of your Personal Year. During the time before your birthday you are under a combined influence of the previous Personal Year mixed with the current calendar year. Did I confuse you completely? :)

A visual way to look at it is this: (using your example of PY 1 moving into a PY 11 or 2)
BD = Birthday, PY = Personal Year

BD-1997----------------1 PY----------------BD-1998
JAN 1 -1998------------------11/2 PY------------------JAN 1 -1999

I have the choices available on NumberQuest mainly for other numerology professionals or people like you who now know what each means and want to read the different Personal Year descriptions. The program actually defaults to the "January" method now since that seems to be what most of the basic numerology books are teaching.

Q: Maybe I am trying to apply too much logic to Numerology. I don't know. But I just don't understand how someone born on March 21, 1954 (nine months and four days after I was born) can have the same Personal Year, Personal Month, and Personal Day as me (especially with the different year). I questioned this with my husband too. He was born on August 16, 1958 and also has the same Personal Year, Personal Month, and Personal Day as me. I was born on July 17, 1953. You see the other two dates above. All three of us are on this cycle ... Personal Year 8
Personal Month 1
Personal Day 1
I'll bet that there is some really simple explanation. Right?!

A: Right! ;) the really simple way to look at it is this: When you are figuring out your Personal Day, Month and Year, you are really only looking at your Birth Day and Birth Month - forget about your Birth Year for this (You just need it for your Destiny and 3 main Life Cycles). So: March 21= 3+2+1=6 July 17= 7+1+7=15= 1+5=6 August 16= 8+1+6=15= 1+5=6 So all three of you are adding 6 to the Calendar Year to get your Personal Year (8) and so from there you will likewise be on the same monthly and daily cycles too. Get it? :)

The Number, "0"

A: Re: the "0" challenge. "0" either means you have no challenges or all of the challenges. Basically you have a wide range of choices in your life. Unlimited directions you could explore. Sometimes that's the hard part - deciding which to follow first, next and after that. I have 2 "0" challenges. For me, it sometimes feels like I jumped off the merry-go-round and now I don't know where I'm going since I'm not being pulled in any direction by an outside force. For some people "0" challenge is a vacation - no responsibilities. For others it's a time where total presence is necessary to juggle the variety of experiences. It can be very testing in this way - like it's the final big exam and how you handle whatever life hands you determines your "grade". I am in the process of expanding the number meanings page significantly, including adding "0". There's such a needless controversy about "0" - it's such an enigma :) among numerologists. It tries to remain undefinable, at least in physical terms. So you're forced to look in and up and out there for it's meaning. "0" is the Unified Field where all things are possible. Please check back periodically for the revised page.

A: A Zero challenge is said to be similar to a 9 challenge. The important difference however is *choice*. Zero challenges give you the whole palette to paint from. All strengths as well as all lessons are available and some say it can feel like a tight-rope walk, keeping awareness sharp so that we can effectively deal with whatever comes up.

Repeated, Double (Master) and Triple Numbers

All double "Master" numbers present a grand opportunity. It is a turning point whereby something must be understood, decided or undertaken in preparation for the next phase. In general, when these repeated numbers appear to us in our daily life, they are "wake up calls", drawing our attention inward. They're saying, "Shhhhhh... listen..." Each Master Number is an outer representation of a Higher aspect of God and is a symbolic reflection of the saying, "As above, so below". The physical action required is represented by the root number or the sum of the two double numbers added together. The Higher aspect of God that is to be understood and utilized is represented by the core digit of the Master Number.

The particular area of life that your attention is being drawn to is revealed by the repeated number as well as the root number, so;

11/2 - Has to do with yourself, receiving direct information from the higher (11) and sharing it with another (2). It also often requires decision and a detoxing of one's thoughts in order to create a positive future. It is a very fast paced energy and things change quickly under it's rule.

22/4 - Has to do with emotional awareness of God (22) [22 is an ancient symbol meaning Alpha and Omege - or "circle"] and manifesting it on earth or through the physical (4). 22 says that once the laws governing the physical are understood and followed, manifestation of heaven on earth may follow. This includes the manifestation of any soul-desire, your "dreams come true".

33/6 - Is the higher octave of Venus, (6) the goddess of love. The raised love vibration becomes Compassion or God-love.
This compassion is expressed (3) and used to uplift others. When 33 appears to us it is saying that there may be a sacrifice to be made. Observe your situation from a Gods-eye view and see where compassion or forgiveness is needed, either towards yourself or towards another. Express a Higher Love.

44/8 - Has to do with the mental mastery and the material world. Great gifts, or lessons about the material world are forthcoming and attention is being called to these matters. There may be a need for re-evaluation of your life and where it's heading. [See more below.]

55/1 - Has to do with accessing Higher Mind (55) and channeling it through your individuality (1). 55 is a direct line to the mind of God or as some call it, the akashic records. It is calling upon you to responsibly harness and direct the knowledge that is attainable now. There are also changes taking place and many choices ahead. Responsible choices must be made and the route to these is through the Higher Mind. As with all Master number influences, meditation is key here.

Q - Late fall in 1982 i happened to look at the clock who know's why at that hour (a habit to look at the clock) probably), but anyway the time was 11:11. no big deal. my husband also ask the time I repeated 11:11, only it didn't come out that way, it sounded like I spoke in some wierd language,, I know this sounds crazy , well we got a good laugh about it . but the strange thing is this has been going on for years now, and it has gotten to be sort of a joke for myself , I don't know if I'm drawn to look at the clock at that particular time or really just what,  but day and night this happens....

A: What's happening to you is happening to many of us the planet over! 11:11 and other repeated numbers are nudging us awake - to remember ourselves. Who we really are. We are being elbowed by the Divine and they're saying "HELLO! remember? it's time! wake up!! Time to live your truth, let go of all those areas that you don't truly love. Get in synch with your Purpose (your Destiny). You matter, more than you know!! You have a job to do and God is calling you to put down the paper and consciously direct your attention towards all things Divine; beauty, love, joy, health, prosperity, equality, balance, purity, wisdom, forgiveness, play, laughter, trust, faith, loyalty, innocence, wonder, courage..... In purposefully directing our attention towards a thing - we add to the collective GROWTH of that thing. Now is the tiime to use your powerful attention to grow the Light and all things positive, pure and hopeful.

Here's a link to all you ever wanted to know about 11:11 but didn't know who to ask:)

Q - I awaken often at 4:44 -- the number 4 comes up a lot...really A LOT. any ideas what it means?

A: 444 is a number of healing and great blessings. It is basically, "infusing the Spirit into the physical." and remembering that the Spiritual exists in the physical and this is what gives life and "animates" all living things. You are tuned into a vibration that is about inspired "physical manifestation" The Spirit world is saying, "remember who You are!" "You are a powerful Spiritual being in a human body and are on earth to create." The 4 way of creativity must follow the rules of earth, however, and so there is also the requirement to become aware of the way things work; cause and effect and the laws of process that any successful venture has to follow. "Time" is a great tool of the 4 path as it is a law that governs all creation on earth. "For everything, there is a season... for every purpose under Heaven".

This number is made up of 3, 4's which is "practical creative expression" and includes the master number 44 which is the number of "Practical Wisdom". The number 44 is about using self-consciousness (awareness) in your daily practice in order to control the mental, physical and emotional energies to the extent that your spiritual being can grow at an accelerated pace and physical manifestation on earth is attained. It's not unusual for them to occur at deeply significant times or during very relaxed states for I believe they are there to "wake us up" to create "self-remembering" for a moment in our lives. It's probably best to allow it and work with it by really bringing yourself present to your environment and your feelings whenever you see these combinations of 4. Meditation would be very beneficial as well as the Spiritual world seems to be "calling" you to be aware of it for some purpose.

Q: I've just begun meditating and I'm reading some good books on metaphysics.  I am pursuing a more peaceful life and balanced spirituality. I was "religionized" for most of my life and I'm having difficulty overcoming the fear of "opening myself up to demon possession" as the fundamentalists caution.  I have prayed a pre-meditation prayer to surround myself w/ a protective light of love and have meditated the past 3 nights before going to bed. MY QUESTION IS................each night that I meditated, I slept reasonably well but awakened at 12:22 all three nights. I have a digital clock near my bed and when I awaken that is the first thing I look at. Do you have a clue what this might represent. After 3 consecutive nights, I can't believe it is a coincidence.

A: I commend you in your trust and efforts to explore expanded methods of communion with God. With regards to the "coincidences" you've been experiencing lately with repeated numbers on your clock; I don't believe these are coincidences either. What I can tell you is you are being "nudged" awake at these times by the angels who are guiding you and responding to your silent prayer to learn and grow spiritually. 2 is the number of the feminine "mother" energy. It is nurturing and patient and it also governs intuition and extrasensory perception. You are "waking up" out of sleep and being met by very gentle energies of 2 - 2 is the energy of Quan Yin, (she is an oriental goddess of compassion) and Mother Mary. Now I believe Spirit/God speaks to us in 'vibration' which we interpret and translate according to our evolution and understanding. The time on the clock is a "message" just for you. A special moment between you and God. These will grow and expand into many other areas of your life. You will notice "signs" and messages in radio songs, street signs and books that seem to "fall off the shelf". These, I believe are the ways the angels speak to us - through the symbolic which our "right brain" understands even though our "right mind" doesn't :)

12:22 totals to 7, the number of mental union with God. 22 is a Master number of creativity and inspired invention - the organized creative ability to manifest materially on earth - or in other words; to channel God's ideas into physical form. Many are having very similar experiences as you at this time. Some are seeing 11:11, others 3:33 and 5:55 but whatever the numbers (they are speaking to them personally according to the vibration they are most connected to) it seems to be occurring much more frequently as we move closer to the year 2000, which has a triple "0" which supercharges the "2". You may experience quantum leaps in your growth and awakening as that turning point grows near since you seem to be aligned with the vibration of 2 in a special way. Many people, it seems, are moving though life and suddenly it becomes "time" to awaken and they grow very very rapidly.

Your concern with "opening yourself up to demon possession" as the fundamentalists caution, is a programming which can actually serve you well! Not because I feel that there is any cause for fear but because it causes you to have the focus and intentionality to ground yourself in Light and Love and thereby attract the most de-light-ful and loving experiences :) Know that you are protected - you are! You definitely are. As your confidence grows you will make this "centering and focus in the protective Light" an automatic part of your meditation and it will no longer be done out of fear but out of gentle acknowledgment that the Light and Love surrounds you as you quiet your mind and open to communion with your highest guidance.

Q: Is it weird to have all master numbers?
Expression 33
Soul Urge 11
Persona 22

A: It's not too weird, but it sure is intense! Rather, you can sure be intense.. You have the potential to do great things with these numbers - create great changes for the world or for your immediate family and friends. Master numbers 'tap' you into the resources of Higher thinking, Higher feeling and Higher accomplishment. If you choose to accept this mission... You can create truly unique things - truly inspired. At the very least you are more sensitive (emotionally and psychically) than most and this may feel frustrating at times. Try to go with the flow and you will attract others who share your ideals. You will probably never fit in to the 'status quo' and that's not a 'bad' thing! You are obviously here to make a statement by who you naturally are. Learn to make your uniqueness your asset!

Q: Dear Angelia, I found your site after posing this question to ask Jeeves! I recently had something very unusual happen and I am very curious to find out what it means. After having you do my free reading, I am certain that you are the one to ask. In a nutshell, I found a nickel on my early morning walk, in the street, Then I found a nickel in the bottom of a Button jar, then I found another nickel in the washing machine after doing the laundry, then I found another nickel, all the matter of a few days before Christmas. In a dream, I was told , I would find the 5th nickel. I didn't remember it until the next morning while wrapping presents. I put my coffee cup down on a shelf and there was the 5th nickel!! I have no clue what this means but I have a positve feeling that it's an Angel message. What do you thinkthis means! Thanx!

A: Wow! that's such a great story. I love the creative ways our angels "talk" to us! 5 is the number of the desire for "variety" (collecting "data" in the form of life experiences) as a motivator for change. Hmmm... "CHANGE"? Get it? : ) The keyword for 5 is "change", but not in the sense that most people fear. It is more about 'noticing' new things, becoming "aware" of new information. Your angels probably want you to wake up to a new way of seeing things. Numerology is a key way to see the hidden meaning in everything around us. Also interesting; your name, "Renee" looks like this numerologically: 95555 (!) You yourself are a vibrating cluster of 5's! Totaling 29 cents - which reduces to an 11 Master Number. You are definitely open to angelic messages and are in fact a 'messenger'! Stay open and child-like in your receptivity to angelic guidance - I am sure you will receive more messages very soon. Writing is a key way for 5 energy to share itself. You may also want to journal about your upcoming "changes"!

Q: I have a question my expression and soul urge are both 22's (and thus 4's). My destiny and persona numbers are both 9. I have read (in Astronumerology by Hobbs Bell & Simon) that 4's and 9's are opposite romantically - does this mean that I am divided somehow romantically? do you know what I am asking? If my soul urge is for a 4(22) and my destiny is a 9, is my picture of who I am looking for not somehow conflicted? I hope that this question makes sense and that you can give me a hopeful and helpful answer.

A: With regards to your question: I believe that the book you are referring to is primarily talking about the romantic compatibility between two people in a relationship, for example, if one person is a 4 and the other is a 9, there would be some challenges due to the 4's very practical nature (earthbound) and the 9's very idealistic nature (heavenbound). In your case though, you are working with both energies within you and I would think that on the one hand this combination would balance you out better (yin and yang, odd and even) but also create some internal conflict between who you are (Expression and Soul Urge) and where you are being asked to go (your Destiny). You are not only fundamentally a 4, but you are a 22/4 Master Number working with a 9 Destiny. This actually tells me that your Destiny won't be as challenging as it would be for a 4 Expression person because you already contain a higher vibration than 9 within your name. So 'who you are', already contains all of the necessary ingredients to get you where you're going.

In the romantic department - if that has been a challenge for you, I would say that it would be due to your higher vibration and life "mission" rather than to any inner incongruities. All of your Core numbers are Universal numbers - meaning they are less personal, less relationship oriented. Your expectations may be higher as well. You would do best with a partner who also carried these or other Master Numbers and inside, you instinctively know this. Another issue around romance and the number 9 Destiny: 9's are here to be 'way showers' and 'Truth' bringers. When a 9 is involved in relationship with another, their influence raises the other's vibration up one whole octave. So the partner usually ends up changing their life for the better in some way, making things 'right' that were wrong and sometimes, when they are all fixed up, they want to move on to do it for themselves. Many 9's sense that it is 'time to move on' before the partner has allowed themselves to acknowledge the fact and leave the relationship first. BUT, all 9's CAN sustain life-long happy relationships too! It is just a matter of the 9 choosing a more 'aware' partner who will be willing to work through the inevitable cycles of ending and renewing. The lesson of 9 can be learned by recognizing the periodic need to end one 'form' - of the same relationship to make room for a new 'form' to be born - within the same relationship. They must also acknowledge and fulfill their instinct and desire to bring love, healing and renewal into the lives of others - they must feel free to do this.
