Numerology Lesson 11 - The Intensification of Numbers

Numerology Lesson 11 - The Intensification of Numbers

This Numerology lesson details the averages of numbers found within a name. The Intensification of Numbers can point to areas where we can learn more about ourselves. Knowing this information can help us round out our natures. It can also help us gain a greater sense of self-definition, point us to areas where we can grow, and help us develop inner strengths.

We feel that a person's individual nature can not be separated from the whole. We are one collective, so to speak, of human beings. Let's once again use the metaphor of music. Each of us has our own set of individual tones (numbers). When we combine each tone together, we can hear our personal song (all of our numbers blended into a whole). In the same way, we can combine each individual person's song and come up with one universal song which reflects the entire collective of human beings. Imagining this metaphor will help you understand the Intensification of Numbers.

As we examine the collective human race, we find that certain tones (numbers) are more expressed than others. Subsequently, other tones or numbers make up less of the whole. We'll be using the word "average" to express this concept.

It is also possible to see where we may have a 'Hidden Passion' or possible 'Karmic Lesson.' As the excessive numbers often reveal a deep seated passion, and the missing numbers can point to a Karmic Lesson.

The General Rules

The following illustrates averages of the numbers 1 - 9 found within a name. The numbers 1, 5 and 9 are found most often. Here's a summary of each number as expressed collectively:

	1 - We all have free will and initiative to create our place within the world. This has given us initiative to grow and expand as a race of beings as well as individuals.
	5 - We have a strong desire for freedom and are curious about what is new and innovative. Through the 5 we progress, develop, and expand our sense of possibility.
	9 - We are resilient even when life brings us difficulties or tragedy. We move into our hearts to help, love, and forgive.

The numbers 2, 3, and 4 are usually only found once within a name.

	Sometimes the 3 will be repeated because of the desire for creativity and self-expression.
	Because these three vibrations usually only appear once, they are doubled in force if found more than once.

The number 7 may be missing.

	In the collective of human nature, the discrimination, analysis, and perfection that a 7 carries is not as frequent as the numbers listed above.
	In many names the 7 may not even be represented. Because of averages, if the 7 is missing it is not significant.
	If a 7 does occur, it gives a desire to prove, reason, and understand the motives that are behind any event.

The number 8 may also be missing.

	It is common for a successful person to lack this number.
	If it appears once you will know this person can work under stressful situations.
	If there are too many 8's, the person may put themselves through a lot of pressure, mental challenge, and possibly achieve great attainments because of the incredible effort.

Benefits of Understanding Intensification

The Intensification of Numbers within the name are felt deep within the character. They may not show on the surface as the Core Numbers do. However, it is useful to understand these energies since they help us gain insight in several ways:

1. They help us to understand why we may repeat patterns.
2. They point to areas where we may feel an inner void, or have a karmic lesson.
3. They point to areas where we may lack experience or development from previous lives.
4. They may show us why we rely on certain skills.
5. They may show us where we obsess or perhaps where we have a hidden passion eager for more room to express.

Number Average Chart

The following chart shows what usually occurs in a name:

Number	Letter	Averages
1	AJS	Usually occurs three or four times	three or four
2	BKT	Usually occurs once	one
3	CLU	Usually occurs once	one
4	DMV	Usually occurs once	one
5	ENW	Usually occurs three or four times	three or four
6	FOX	Usually occurs once	one
7	GPY	May be missing	zero
8	HQZ	Usually occurs once or be missing	zero or one
9	IR	Usually occurs three times	three

How to Fill Out the Chart

We have prepared a blank chart that you can print out that will make it easy for you to create your own Intensification of Numbers chart like the one below. Please click here to go to that page and print out the blank chart. Hopefully you have a printer available. If not, just reproduce it on a piece of paper. Then return back to this spot to continue your learning.

Here are the steps:

1. In the first row, write down on the chart the first, middle, and last name of the person whose chart you are calculating.
2. In the next row, look up and write down the number that corresponds to each letter in the first, middle, and last names.
3. In the "Core" column, write "Yes" in front of any number that is also one of the Core Numbers and place it's abbreviation after the "Yes". Here's the legend of abbreviations:
   

	LP - Life Path (Birth Day is included in the Birth Force)
	E - Expression
	HD - Heart's Desire
	P - Personality

4. In the  "+ or -" column, place a plus or minus sign after the numbers where there is a difference from the averages. Use a plus for more and a minus for less.
5. Now note the relationship with the average. For example, two 4's would have a greater significance than four 9's. Look for the "Key Modifier" (also called the "Intensifier" in Numerology). This is the one number that has the most excessive energy available and stands out the most in relationship to the average. You can write the word "Key" after the plus. To illustrate we highlighted the Key Modifier by color on our chart.
6. Next, look for whatever number(s) are void. If it is any number other than 7, place a minus next to it.
7. Note if the void number(s) are also within the Core Number. If so, the effect is lessened. If the void energy is not found as a Core Number, place the word "Key" after it as well.

Explanation of Meaning

Where excess energy exists, we will use the energy to achieve, grow, and acquire in relationship to the number. If we find areas that are void, be assured that we want to round out our character and attain life lessons in these areas. Some Numerologists feel a voided number is a karmic area or one that we may have avoided in previous lives for some reason or another. It may be that experiences were not available to us and we are now wishing to add knowledge during this life.

Learning Example

For this lesson we will again use the name Barbara Ann Kelly as our example. Follow along as we interpret the chart.

Barbara		Ann		Kelly
2192191		155		25337
Core	Amount	+ or -	Number	Letter	Average
Yes - LP	4		1	AJS	three or four
Yes - E	3	+ Key	2	BKT	one
	2	+	3	CLU	one
Yes - P	0	-	4	DMV	one
	3		5	ENW	three or four
	0	-	6	FOX	one
Yes - HD	1	+	7	GPY	zero
	0		8	HQZ	zero or one
	2	-	9	IR	three

Let's start by noting which numbers are in excess (+ sign in the "+ or -" column) of the averages:

1. 1 - She has four occurrence's of the number 1 which is slightly in excess of the low end of the three or four average. However, all of the 1's bridge to her 1 Life Path and strengthen it.
2. 2 - She has three occurrences of the number 2 which is way above the average of one and makes 2 her Key Modifier. But just as above, this "excessive" number is her Expression and one of her Core Numbers. Therefore the 2 bridges to her 11/2 Expression and strengthens the qualities found there. What may be excessive compared to the averages is actually another strengthening force for Barbara.
3. 3-She has two occurrences of the number 3 which is one above average. This would tell us that she would add a quality of lightness to events and surroundings within her life. This may show up as humor, or possibly a joyful nature added to her spirit.
4. 7 - She has one occurrence of the number 7 which is higher than the average of zero. However, once again the 7 bridges to her 7 Heart's Desire and strengthens it as well.

So, three of her Core Numbers are found in excess in the Intensification of Numbers Chart but all numbers appear to be supportive. Remember, "excessive" does not mean "bad".

Now we want to look at the energies that are void. Here we see that the 4 and 6 stand out. As we mentioned in "The General Rules" above, the 8 is sometimes found as missing in a name:

1. 4 - She has zero occurrences of the number 4 which is one below the average of one. The 4 is also one of her Core Numbers, so she has some experience with it. However, with the 4 missing in her name and it being the Personality vibration, she may have some additional lessons here. Possibly she has to learn how to apply herself in ways that would fulfill her, rather than being busy taking care of everyone else. The reason for interpreting the 4 this way is that the zero (void of energy) points us to lessons about application and duty. Because the 4 is a Core Number and is placed on her Personality, it relates to how others see her and how they may try to direct her.
2. 6 - She has zero occurrences of the number 6 which is one below the average of one. It's possible that Barbara may attract opportunities to help her learn how to balance responsibility. She may have the challenge of taking on too much responsibility for others or becoming confused about taking action on her own behalf. The 6 also points to creativity, relationships, and humanitarian endeavors. So she may have some added lessons in these areas.
3. 8 - The 8 is borderline and often does not occur within a person's name. Therefore, we have not included it in our interpretation.

We feel that the intensification modifiers are really a lot like road signs. Unlike the Core Numbers that make up our nature, the intensification modifiers point us to areas that we know will be examined throughout our life as lessons. Whether in excess or void we are pointed in the direction of improving the qualities of our nature.

Numerology Lesson 13 - The Habit Challenge

Numerology Lesson 13 - The Habit Challenge

In the last three Numerology lessons, we discussed several Key Modifiers that influence the Core Elements found in a Numerology chart. This Numerology lesson features a trait we call the "Habit Challenge". Some Numerologists refer to this aspect as the "Point of Security". Both names describe the nature of this aspect quite well. Although it is not exactly a modifier of Core Elements, the Habit Challenge does influence the flow of energy available to them.

Have you ever felt a habit or a repeated pattern that was hard to identify? No matter how aware of the pattern you became, it continued to occur over and over? Your Habit Challenge may shed some light on this subject. The Habit Challenge is just what is sounds like--a habit we feel challenged by which is usually negative. Because all numbers have a polarity as well as a balanced state, the Habit Challenge is usually experienced as an extreme (under-balanced or over-balanced) rather than a balanced vibration. Our challenge is to learn how to balance its influence. This trait then becomes positive and empowering.

Often stress, confusion, and insecurity are energies that create the reactions found in the Habit Challenge. When a person becomes aware of the reactions, they can choose to bring the extremes into a nurturing and balanced state. Like all vibrations that exist within an individual chart, synergy can enhance the individual parts.

Habit Challenge Chart

Determining a Habit Challenge is quite simple. It is the total letters in a name added together. In other words, rather than adding the value of each letter, like in previous lessons, we add the total number of letters together and reduce them to one single digit.

Barbara	Ann	Kelly
7 letters	3 letters	5 letters
7 + 3 + 5 = 15
1 + 5 = 6 Habit Challenge

Chart Interpretation

In Barbara's case we find a 6 for her Habit Challenge. We can speculate that Barbara may vacillate between the under-balanced and over-balanced aspects of the 6, attempting to balance them. She may become over-attached to her home, family, and environment. So much so that she finds it hard to extend herself beyond her familiar environment. She could also find herself giving advice, living her dreams through others, or perhaps becoming over-responsible. Another trait of an under-balanced 6 could be avoiding responsibility involving others and perhaps failing to keep appointments or obligations. When balanced a 6 Habit Challenge can become a very creative and resourceful asset to have.

For ease, we created possible descriptions for each number. You may want to add to our descriptions. As creative beings, there are many possible Habit Challenge expressions. We listed a few to help you along. Have fun and see what other possible expressions you come up with.

Possible Habit Challenge Responses

During this course we've asked you to use your intuition regarding how a given number would express as under-balanced or over-balanced. We'll now present some specific examples for each number. Although we are presenting these descriptions in relationship to the Habit Challenge, they are not restricted to this subject alone. The following descriptions apply to each of the numbers in context, including the Core Elements. Refer to Numerology Lesson One for the balanced descriptions.

1 Habit Challenge - Leadership:

• Under-balanced - insecure, dependent, passive
• Over-balanced - bossy, opinionated, dominating

When acting in an under-balanced way, the 1 may respond in a procrastinating manner, be indecisive, and act in vacillating ways. The 1's natural assertive nature could become over-balanced and result in a response that is bossy, impatient, stubborn, impulsive, and over-attached to ones own beliefs.

2 Habit Challenge - Peacemaking:

• Under-balanced - indecisive, dependent, uncertain
• Over-balanced - oversensitive, disapproving, unsupportive

As an under-balanced response, it may be hard to maintain a sense of identity because of a desire to please. The 2 as an over-balanced response may become fussy over little things and caught up in details.

3 Habit Challenge - Expression:

• Under-balanced - unfocused, vacillating, anxious
• Over-balanced - exaggerating, gossipy, lacking in concentration

As an under-balanced habit it can exaggerate, become self indulgent, and be without direction. A 3 is creative and expressive so when it becomes an over-balanced response it can lead to scattered energies, starting many tasks, and finding it hard to focus.

4 Habit Challenge - Form:

• Under-balanced - disorganized, narrow, uncertain
• Over-balanced - headstrong, limited, antagonistic

A 4, as an under-balanced response can expect a lot of others and fail to commit itself. When over-balanced, it can become too serious and careful, often creating opposition. In addition, it could become so attached to methods that it forgets to see the big picture, getting caught up in details.

5 Habit Challenge - Freedom:

• Under-balanced - non progressive, cautious, doubtful
• Over-balanced - erratic, impulsive, careless

The 5 could respond in an under-balanced way by escaping reality through indulgent means. With an over-balance response there could be a possibility of changing directions too often before results are evident. This instability could effect relationships and career.

6 Habit Challenge - Responsibility:

• Under-balanced - distant, self seeking, unorganized
• Over-balanced - discontent, overemotional, over-responsible

When the 6 is under-balanced, its response may be to avoid responsibility involving others, perhaps failing to keep appointments or obligations. The 6 Habit Challenge can become very attached to its home, family, and environment. When it becomes over-balanced, it may live through others or possibly desire to give unsolicited advice.

7 Habit Challenge - Individuality:

• Under-balanced - disregarded, superficial, undeveloped
• Over-balanced - resentful, hypercritical, secretive

If responding in an under-balanced expression, it can act in over-analytical and critical ways and can even become cut off from its own deep feelings. An over-balanced response can become very detached, shut people out, and hold onto resentments.

8 Habit Challenge - Manifestation:

• Under-balanced - powerless, impoverished, undisciplined
• Over-balanced - tactless, pushy, possessive

When under-balanced, material success and motivation may be lacking. When an 8 becomes over-balanced, it may take its effective work characteristics into friendships and home life. In addition, intimidation and manipulation may become a way of attaining results as well as trying to do everything and forgetting to delegate.

9 Habit Challenge - Compassion:

• Under-balanced - passionless, oppressive, aloof
• Over-balanced - unaccountable, impractical, dreamer

If expressing in an under-balanced way, it can be somewhat cold or detached, feeling that it is being broad-minded. In addition, it can become a jack of all trades and master of none. The 9 can become moody and filled with ups and downs. Over-balance can be expressed as too dreamy and impractical or too generous for its own good.

A Note On Master Numbers - Both 11/2 and 22/4 can be read as either their master vibration of their digited down vibration. Master vibrations represent a much higher frequency. When a 11/2 or 22/4 cannot hold the higher frequency, they will revert to either a 2 or a 4 respectively. So, also refer to the under-balanced and over-balanced aspects of the 2 and the 4 when analyzing the 11/2 and 22/4.

11/2 Habit Challenge - Illumination:

• Under-balanced - aimless, fearful of psychic abilities, submissive
• Over-balanced - extreme nervousness, misguided, obsessed

22/4 Habit Challenge - Master Builder:

• Under-balanced - lethargic, spiritless, inactive
• Over-balanced - extreme tension, overwhelmed, controlling

The purpose of pointing out the under-balanced and over-balanced traits that may occur from a Habit Challenge, is to help identify possible patterns. Once identified, an individual can become conscious and work towards balancing the negative traits into a positive and creative response rather than a reactive one. We have found that once the Habit Challenge is embraced, it can them be balanced and brought into an energy which can be an impetus for success.

When working with the Habit Challenge, also pay attention to the other Core Element numbers. The Habit Challenge may be easier to balance if it has harmonious energies to help it along. If other Core Elements are Discordant, the Habit Challenge may be a little more difficult to direct into a positive and balanced resource.

Numerology Lesson 14 - The Maturity Number

In this lesson we feature a major element in Numerology called the Maturity Number. This vibration is something to look forward to in our latter years. The Maturity Number is created by blending two Core Elements. Some Numerologists call this vibration either the Reality Number or the Ultimate Goal Number. We prefer the Maturity Number because this vibration begins to become evident in the middle range of one's life.

The Maturity Number acknowledges possible ways an individual may contribute back to the universe their unique expressions, creations, and knowledge cultivated from this life. This number is also an indicator of a meaningful, satisfying, and happy life in latter years. Therefore, as we enter the latter years of life--after gaining knowledge, learning how to balance our energies, and becoming more self aware--this vibration engages within us and begins to express outwardly.

You might wonder when a person may begin to notice this vibration. In small children, you can sense this vibration for a few years by noticing the way they act and by observing some of their personal interests. However, the early effects of the Maturity Number usually fade because the Life Path, Heart's Desire, and Expression vibrations become more evident during the first stages of life development. Again, the opportunities the Maturity number presents usually blossom later in life.

If you are in your late thirties or early forties, you may wonder from time to time what is in store for you. Can you keep up the same energy through the rest of your life? What lies ahead and what may present itself to assist in making life easier in the future? If you are in your fifties or sixties and feeling that life has not been all that you desired, or if you are just wondering where else you may find happiness, opportunity, and satisfaction, look toward the Maturity Number for guidance. These are times when the Maturity Number is ready to present itself. Opportunities that can be found through embracing the Maturity Number's qualities are waiting to be revealed. The Maturity Number really is a promise that you charted out for your latter years. It will lead you in directions where you can attain fulfillment, purpose, and reward. What a wonderful time of life and a great gift to give back to the universe!

Calculating the Maturity Number

It is quite simple to find out what your Maturity Number is. Add your Life Path Number (Lesson 4) and Your Expression Number (Lesson 6) together.

Next, reduce these two numbers to a single digit. Remember if you find the Master Numbers of either 11 or 22, there is no need to reduce them to a single digit. However, you do have the choice of embracing the opportunities found in the 11 or the 2 if an 11 is your Maturity Number. If you have the Master Number 22, you can embrace the 22 or the 4. As mentioned in previous lessons, when we have a Master Number for a final digit, it is sometimes difficult to remain at the high vibration that exists with in the Master Number. In these cases it is quite perfect to identify with the other number.

Life Path Chart

11/2 (Master Number)	8 (already one digit)	1 + 8 = 9

Numerology Chart Interpretation

Since we know Barbara's age (you always do as a Numerologist!), we can tell that the influence of the Maturity Number is already present. She may even be wondering where she can find new directions for opportunity, growth, and satisfaction in her life. In addition, she may be wondering what lies ahead for her latter years.

Knowing that she has a 3 Maturity Number should give her much encouragement. It wants to bring qualities of joy, creativity, and pleasure throughout her latter years. This Maturity Number wishes to lighten up her life. If she has felt burdened or that complexities have kept her from feeling free, this vibration surely wants to simplify her life and point her in a direction of what really matters! We have a feeling that life will present her with opportunities to embrace some of the simper joys of living. More expression wants to come into her life-- more play, friends, and creative outlets. She may have to watch to not scatter her energies, but by the time a person expresses their Maturity Number, they usually have learned how to balance the energies found within the numbers.
