THE CHOSEN LIFE PATH

(You will find more information about your life number by clicking here.

One of the four most significant calculations for interpretation of the natal chart is the date of birth. From this number we derive what is called the life number. The life number identifies the life events and lessons that repeatedly occur until we have learned the particular lessons at hand and committed it to memory. How we react to the events life can be improved with the knowledge of the lessons being given to us. The numbers provide a clue as to what fate has in store. It tells us which particular lessons will be repeated and given most attention until they are learned and integrated into our soul. Proper utilization of numerological information can provide guidelines and help us adjust more readily to the lessons of life.

If we take conscious responsibility for our potential, each person can better understand himself and considerably accelerate the learning curve of life. With understanding comes the foundation upon which effective actions are based. Right action releases us from the wheel of karma and rebirth, furthering the evolution of soul so that we can continue our journey onto higher spirals and planes of existence.

To compute your life number you take the month and day and year of birth (use all four numbers for the birth year, i.e. l956 not 56). If you were born on December 23rd  l956 you would put 12  23  l956 into the calculator (not 12/23/56).


THE WISDOM IN YOUR NAME

(You will find more information about your personal numbers by clicking here.

Every author of numerology has his/her own terminology and procedure for interpreting the meaning of the name. All of them work with the vowels separately, the consonants separately, and the two combined.

For the interpretation of the name I use the personality number (consonants), the soul number (vowels) and the number of the integrated self (total name). When the term "personality" is mentioned, I am referring to the little self which each of us uses for manifesting in this life sojourn. The personality is composed from the synthesis of activity expressed through the vehicles of the lower self: physical, etheric, astral (emotional), and mental (intellectual) bodies.

The soul represents our inner consciousness of ageless wisdom, the repository of all our past life sojourns. It is the soul that seeks further evolution through the vehicles of the personality. The soul strives for balance and completion of earth experience, so that it may be free to continue into yet other realms and other planets or systems of evolution. The soul is neither the higher self nor the spark of our divinity. The soul is the accumulation of experience and is learning just as the personality is learning.

The personality number is a focal point through which you express yourself in the daily world of events. Always remember it is derived from the totaling of numbers from consonants in the full name at birth. Each of those separate numbers is present and influences the total. The personality number indicates the primary lessons the individual is focusing upon during this life. It is the part of our behavior most readily seen in the exterior exchanges of everyday life. It gives us insight into our potential, shortcomings, strengths and abilities. It does not attempt to describe the entire personality. Rather, it indicates the primary lessons and attributes of self we have chosen to concentrate upon in this lifetime.

The soul number reveals the particular vibration the soul stresses through the personality in this lifetime. It is the energy pattern that the soul (in conjunction with Higher Self) foresees as most appropriate for accomplishing the determined growth lessons during this lifetime. The soul possesses knowledge of all the vibrations, yet focuses its fund of wisdom to accelerate this vibrational pattern.

The soul is not the higher self or divine spark. It is the accumulation of experience through numerous personalities over eons of evolution. The soul is also learning and adding to the pool of experience. The soul number gives a clue as to the primary lessons and energies it has chosen to accomplish. It tells us what is going on inside the deeper dimensions of the individual.

The number for the integrated self indicates what the person aspires to attain in growth as a result of this lifetime. Very few people throughout history have reached this potential for enlightened exaltation. It is the individualized expression of Self, resulting when soul and personally function in harmony to the fullest extent. The influence of the number is somewhat dormant until integration, and its expression comes out rather distorted prior to unity of soul and personality. Prior to the manifestation of healthy integration, the behavior pattern would be more similar to that of the personality.

When interpreting a chart, always remember there is much more than just reading different sections of the book for each numerical description. The full chart should be intuitively linked after an examination of the parts. Then you can look at the parts again with a better grasp and appreciation of all therein. Remember that the soul number expresses itself through the personality. So does the integrated self.

As human beings we all have certain problems, neurosis, blocks, and dysfunctional patterns. Most people who are attracted into the self-awareness movement are working consciously to recognize and release negative dysfunctional behavior. As the personality becomes relatively clear and healthy, the soul can manifest through it more cleanly. Then the individual reaches toward integration and a consistent state of wellness.

    The procedure for deriving each of the numerical values of the name starts with knowing which number corresponds to each letter of the name. Below is a reference list of these correspondences.

                                              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

    To start, write down the full name at birth (first, middle [one or more], and last). If there is a Jr. or 3rd, or 4^th, it is written out Junior, The Third, The Fourth.   Robert Jones Jr. would be written Robert Jones Junior. The usual rule of thumb is to use the name on the birth certificate. There can be some exceptions.  If a mistake was made on the birth certificate and corrected immediately, I usually go with the corrected name. In cases of adoption, if there was a name established prior to the adopted name, I usually go with the original name depending upon the length of time before the change. There is no exact rule for how long that time may be. If it was a matter of days or weeks, that is enough time for the name to have been established.

     The name at birth is similar to the natal chart in astrology. It is in effect your entire life.  As you later change names (for marriage, career, nicknames, stage names, etc.) these can be given consideration for the vibrational change they create.  They doe not replace the name at birth.

(NOTE) For any name other than the full name at birth you will find clarification and instructions in Chapter 6. Go to the Order Products page and scroll down to Changes In The Name. Or you can click here.

    Once you have the name written, you place the appropriate number under each letter using the above chart as a guideline. You then add across the line getting a total number for the full name. This is called the pure number. Once you have a total, it is reduced to a single digit by simple addition.

    Next, on another line, place a number under the vowels only (A, E, I, O, U and Y). Then add across and get a total for the vowels of the full name. This is the pure number. Now reduce it to a single digit by simple addition. (IMPORTANT NOTE) There is debate among some numerologists regarding the use of Y as a vowel or consonant. I struggled with the issue for some time in my early practice. After tens of thousands of charts and consultation with other intuitive professional practitioners, I consider that Y is always a vowel.

    Finally, on another line, place the numbers under each of the consonants only. Then you add them across until you get a total. This is the pure number. Reduce it to a single digit by simple addition.

    Below is an example chart to help give you assistance:

    G E O R G E   W A L K E R   B U S H

      7 5 6   9  7 5    5  1 3  2  5 9   2  3  1 8=7+5+6+9+7+5+5+1+3+2+5+9+2+3+1+8=78=7+8 =15= 6 IS

         5 6           5         1         5          3        =5+6+5+1+5+3                                               =25=2+5  = 7        S

      7         9  7        5    3  2      9    2      1 8=7+9+7+5+3+2+9+2+1+8                            =53=5+3  = 8        P

    Here is another example with master numbers:

    R O B E R T   S T O R E

    9  6  2 5 9  2   1  2  6 9  5 =9+6+2+5+9+2+1+2+6+9+5 =56=5 + 6 = 11 = 11(2)                        IS

        6     5                    6     5  =6+5+6+5                                                    = 22 = 22(4)                         S

    9     2    9  2     1  2     9      =9+2+9+2+1+2+9                                      = 34 = 3 + 4 =  7 =   7         P

     The general rule of thumb when adding is not to reduce master numbers.

     In the above name some practitioners might indicate Robert Store’s IS number 2 (11) because it is not the pure number. I have labeled it as an 11 (2) because it is an 11 before it is reduced to a 2.  This is a picky procedural point for experienced practitioners. Just know for now that it is an 11.

 For the soul number we have 22(4) that indicates it is first of all a pure 22 and yet it is a 4. We say this is a 22(4), or a 2(11).  When a number is in parenthesis ( ) it  can also denote a potential master number. Usually it will take conscious effort by that person to develop its full potential.

    Here is a little helpful hint to the beginner. Make a quick examination to be sure that the sum of the vowels and the sum of the consonants add up to the total of the whole name.  It is just a quick check to catch possible errors in your addition.

To compute your  numbers use the full name at birth as it is on the birth certificate (first, middle, and last). If you have any questions leave your inquiry at  support@ForeverNumerology.com  .
