Numerology
101
By CinnamonMoon
I thought this would be an
interesting subject to bring up. It has many applications
from birthdates, names, and numbers applied to signs
we may be given in a variety of ways. I'd like to invite
anyone with experience in this field to share their
input. For the purpose of discussion, I thought I'd
start the topic off with a simple overview.
Names: The premise behind
numerology and names is that the name of a thing contains
the essence of its being and can be reduced to a numerical
equation. Each number holds essence of its own and that
becomes the interpretation of the essence of the person.
The matrix or formula to
do so is as follows:
|
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
|
|
Taking the letters in the
name, each is assigned a number, those numbers are added
together to create a single digit and that is the number
defined. In a name it is the defined essence of character
and destiny. An example using my name would be:
C I N N A M O N = 3+9+5+5+1+4+6+5 = 38, = 3+8= 11, =
1+1=2 M O O N = 4+6+6+5= 21, 2+1 = 3.
Combined = 2+3=5 5
becomes the root number of the essence of that name.
Vowels are considered the
"Heart Number" and reveal the inner character
of the person. Here we have: I A O and O O which work
out to be: 9+1+6 in Cinnamon and 6+6 in Moon = a combined
total of 28 adding up to 1 as the root number of my
inner character.
For the birthdate we find it reveals the essence that
the universe stamps on your character and destiny. Let's
use the example of a fictitious date:
September 13, 1950. The breakdown is as follows: 9+1+3+1+9+5+0=28,
2+8=10, 1+0=1 and the root number of the essence of
that birthdate becomes 1.
You can explore names, titles
of events, birthdates, dates of events, etc. to determine
what the essence of the issue is going to be. Using
these numbers, find them in the interpretation list
below (or use your own name and birthdate) and see what
is revealed to you, how much you agree and disagree
with it. You may be surprised. Birthdates and Names
may or may not harmonize and will be issues of contention
throughout life unless the name is changed. If there
is no harmony the person would be torn by inner conflicts
and appear to struggle against their own fate.
A rough definition of NAME
numbers are:
| 1) |
Strong fixation
on purpose and drive towards achievment; single-minded,
powerful, positive, self-assertive, ambitious, and
aggressive. Good concentration and memory. Creative,
inventive, original. Pioneers, drawn to new and
unusual, do not take orders well, resent advice
and generally do not follow it. Tend to be loners,
dominate relationships, and look out for number
one. |
| 2) |
Feminine
qualities, soft, sweet natures. Quiet, tactful,
even-tempered, love peace and harmony. Tend to play
second-fiddle in rank. Followers rather than leaders,
they persuade diplomatically vs. assertively. Often
shy, self-conscious, change minds frequently and
procrastinate. They have a dark side that can be
sinister, cruel, or deceitful...duality and subordination. |
| 3) |
Brilliant,
imaginative, versatile, energetic, bold expression,
sparkle and glitter. They have witty, lively, and
charming personalities with a tendency to be successful
in life. Highly talented they take things lightly
and tend to be lucky. Proud, independent, ambitious,
and commanding. Faults are based on spreading themselves
too thin. They like approval and popularity. |
| 4) |
Solid, practical,
uninspired and efficient organizers or administrators...going
by the book. Down to earth, calm, steady, industrious,
respectable...the pillars of society. They like
routine and detail, are hard-working, and tend toward
being stern, grim, repressive, plodding, and resent
other methods than their own. An odd streak of melancholy
or violent rage exists here. Success is hard-won.
Most tend to be defeatist in nature and lean toward
lower-class lives. |
| 5) |
A bright
personality. Restless, jumpy, clever, impatient...can
live on nerves. Fascinated by the unusual and bizarre,
loves travel, meeting new people, different surroundings,
eclectic natures, enjoy risks, adventure, and can
be sarcastic. They hate to be tied down or in a
rut, can be self-indulgent, resourceful, resilient,
and many-sided people. They are hard to analyze
and pin down, they are sexually attractive and prone
to difficulty in love relationships. Their dark
side is excessive and perverted if allowed to run
out of control. |
| 6) |
Harmony,
domestic, peaceful, happiness. Kind, reliable, and
well-balanced. Talent for friendship and family
life. Loyal, conscientious, idealistic, and affectionate.
Wholesome and conventional, they make a success
of the arts or teaching. Capable and thorough workers,
they do lack a flair for business. Happy in quiet
settings, they can become smug, self-satisfied,
fussy, gossipy, and obstinate or conceited. |
| 7) |
Scholars,
philosophers, mystics and sages. Natural recluses,
meditation and reflection are priorities. Dignified,
reserved, self-controlled, serious, impatient with
foolishness. Care little for money or comfort, powerful
and penetrating minds, they have a dreamy side to
their nature. Often bad at explaining things, they
dislike questions or debates. Can be pessimistic,
aloof, superior, and sarcastic. |
| 8) |
Power, money,
and worldly involvement. Material success and failure.
Strong, tough, practical, successful in business
or politics. Uneasy course through life, struggle,
stress, effort, care, and drudgery are their route
to success. They are cautious, tenacious, and without
inspiration. Hard,
materialistic, selfish, and sometimes unscrupulous,
they may be keenly and sadly aware of this fact.
Beneath it all there is often wild eccentricity,
waywardness, and rebellion. Constant teetering between
strong success and failures. |
| 9) |
High mental
and spiritual achievements, large-minded, visionary,
idealistic, romantic, passionate and impulsive.
Wide sympathies and great charm. Intense need to
help others, and serve the cause of humanity at
large. Scientists, teachers, and artists. Strong-willed,
determined, inspired and inspiring, often seen as
wild, unorthodox, and impractical. Resent ugliness
and poverty, they are in and out of love, dislike
old age and unhappiness. Charitable and intolerant
when opposed. Poor at one on one relationships due
to the larger picture dominating their minds. |
*Exceptions are: 11 & 22 which are particularly
fortunate and excellent numbers representing higher
planes of experience. They must be seen with caution
but if they rise to their heights (rare) and match with
a birth number, the combinations compliment and prove
very strong.
| 11) |
is the number
of revelation and martyrdom. People who have a special
message for the world. Intensely objective, living
by inner vision they struggle with the needs of
those close to them. Powerful personalities with
vigor and moral courage, they are convinced of the
rightness and importance of their mission in life
and will sacrifice for it in any way necessary. |
| 22) |
truly great
men and women, energy, persuasiveness, brilliance
in their work, versatile, balance and harmony, wisdom,
worldly abilities, devoted to humanity with mission
and inner vision. Creative, teachers, organizers,
successful, admired, respected by all. The fault
is the path they walk...dark, or light. They are
excessively good or bad. |
Having several names, nicknames,
spirit names, etc. would call for an analysis of them
all as aspects of yourself. This goes with consonants
alone, vowels alone, and the birthdate are all taken
into account. Some examine the name by each letter seeing
how many times that number appears and give it dominance.
Birth Numbers: If you take
the number of your birth year and add it to itself you
will get an important year in your destiny. For example,
if you were born in 1947, 1+0+4+7= 12 in this case,
1947 + 12 = 1959 being an important year.
I hope this gets you going
and that some of our resident Numerologists will share
their insights.
Northernwolf:
I dabbled in that a bit before. My mom was interested
in it a bit and I kind of tagged along as I was a guinea
pig for her LOL. Never went deeper with it though as
all things dealing with divination aren’t really
my bag. But for the fun of it here are mine.
With my real name it gives
me 5 + 3 = 8 ( yeah I'm a materialist pig ... I'm
still wondering what is that success thing that is mentioned
though LOL )
And for my online name
it gives me northern = 4 wolf = 2,
4 + 2 = 6 ( this one doesn't sound as bad ) as for the
birth year I guess I missed that important year, it
being 1997. I think that was when I started uni though.
How do you do it with
spiritual names where you have more than one part I
calculated it but it doesn't give a first name and family
name per se. I added all the parts and it gives 9 I
can live with that.
Cinnamon:
Well, it would be the same way, running the name as
a whole because it is meant to be used that way, not
in parts like a given name would be. That's why I demonstrated
with my name. I'm not big into this either, but have
played with it from time to time for amusement. I do
honor it as a science, like astrology etc., as I think
it has substance or it wouldn't have been handed down
through the ages. There are two types of methods that
can be applied as well. The alphabet and numerical values
as posted above (the modern approach), and this one
(based on Hebrew and Greek alphabets):

Maurie11:
Hi
Cinnamon! This is very interesting and a great little
overview Quick question for you: I know you explained
what the vowels added up alone "means," do
you have that for the consonants as well? I've played
around with this with my maiden name, married name,
and one of my very much used nicknames~there are definitely
some repeating numbers. Much of the definitions for
the numbers describe me to a tee~even the parts I'm
not too happy to admit Thanks for posting this.
Cinnamon:
Hi Maurie, Yes, it would be the same for the consonants.
It's interesting to see how the names reflect us in
the context that we use them...family, friends, co-workers,
socially, professionally, spiritually etc. It's fun
to do for me and I amuse myself with the exploring from
time to time, but it's not an area I am profuse in,
I just enjoy dabbling with it. Check out your different
nicknames that people have for you...those of the past
and present should indicate your personality and situations
of the time. Have fun, who knows where it will take
you and you may as well enjoy the journey.
Maurie11:
Ok,
so vowels and consonants, figured separately, should
indicate heart character?
It IS fun to dabble in it~my dabbling began in HS with
the numerology section in ELLE magazine Even then, the
write -ups were pretty spot-on 17 years later, I am
still interested in it...there is something to be said
about mathematics, letters, and as you said it being
passed down
through time. I am most certainly not profuse myself,
but it is funnnnnnn AND interesting I have yet to find
very simplistic explanations, outside of your post,
so thanks again.
Cinnamon:
Yes. They are the heart of things. I'm glad I've been
able to help and the definitions are by no means complete,
just very fundamental. There are several books on this
available but usually it's found in combination with
other topics of divination on a whole. Just grab information
where you can find it, see what works for you, and you'll
find your answers validated time and again and you'll
weed out the inconsistencies too. Enjoy!
Moonwolf of the Mists:
interesting.
My names and dates range from 5-7. They all kinda describe
me. I kept getting an eight at first which isn't me
at all, then I realized that I added a wrong number.
Turns out my important year is 2010. Why does that seem
important for some reason? Hm.......
Interesting stuff, Cinn. Thanks for sharing!!! Moonie
Cinnamon:
Maurie... I was re-reading your comments and the vowels
and consonants are not seen as separate issues. It's
the entire name spelled out and added up accordingly.
I am sorry for the confusion.
