Notes from Numerology

Karmic Debt Number (based on problematic underlying numbers found within your life path number calculation; problematic numbers are 13, 14, 16, 19 or repeating 4, 5, 7)

Karmic Debt number 13

Those with the 13 Karmic Debt may experience much frustration, and will have to work very hard to accomplish any task. Think of it as a consequence of a previous lifetime dominated by laziness, taking advantage of others and similar bad choices.

Obstacles arise for those with a 13 Karmic Debt and must be overcome time and time again. One may often feel burdened and frustrated by the futility of their efforts — there may be a desire to surrender to the difficulties and simply give up on the goal. But success is well within reach; one simply must work hard and persevere in order to reach the goal. Many highly successful people in all walks of life, including business, art and athletics, have a 13 Karmic Debt.

The key to succeeding with the 13 is focus. A temptation with the 13 is to take shortcuts, but too often, that easy success doesn’t come, causing regret and the desire to give up. The result is a poor self-image and the belief that one is incapable of amounting to very much. Order is essential to success with the 13 Karmic Debt. You must maintain a schedule, follow through, keep your environment neat and under control and never procrastinate.

Karmic Debt number 19

Those with the 19 Karmic Debt must learn independence and the proper use of power. You will be forced to stand up for yourself, and often be left standing alone. Difficulties will be faced and overcome through personal struggle.

One of the central lessons for people with the 19 Karmic Debt is that you stubbornly resist help. Much of your independence is actually self-imposed — you simply don’t want to listen to others, or to accept the help or advice of others. The 19 Karmic Debt can become a self-imposed prison if you do not open up to the reality of interdependence and the mutual need for love.

The most important lesson for the 19 Karmic Debt is: while you seek to stand on your own feet, you are still a human being, deeply connected with others and in need of the support, assistance and human understanding that all people need. Sometimes you just need to reach for it.

Challenge Number (based on life path numbers and some additional calculation; you have 4 numbers which indicate different periods of your life)

Challenge Number 2 : Hyper-sensitivity to other people’s criticisms can prove to be an obstacle. Paranoia and suspicion will keep you from allowing yourself to be vulnerable. You will view yourself in a critical or self-deprecating way and your inhibitions will show in every area of your life, especially in terms of love and relationships. Trusting will be a major challenge for you during this period, but it will be learned and tested over time, beginning with yourself.

You are likely to have trouble wrangling your emotions. You will hold onto anger and grudges for periods of time that are disproportionate to perceived offenses and your own inability to forgive or accept forgiveness could have a paralyzing effect on your emotions. You have a keen sense of awareness and excellent intuition but you don’t know how to use them productively. Instead, you choose to fear them and sink further into yourself. On a positive note, that hyper-sensitity will also make you empathetic and compassionate. You will be able to feel others’ pain because you relate to it so well.

Expression Number (based on all letters of full name)

Number 11: You have the most magnetism of any number out there. You possess all the best qualities of all the other numbers, even to the point of expressing certain psychic or supernatural tendencies. You can tune in to those Universal forces that channel energy into the areas of your life (or even the lives of others) where it is needed most. If you haven’t done so already, you should be looking both for ways to let this energy loose as well as ways to ground it.

Your sense of things temporal and your sense of things metaphysical often find themselves at odds with each-other. Learn how to balance these parts of yourself from the inside out. Control, centeredness, focus, tranquility – all these things will be important for you to learn and achieve. Once you do, you will be able to call up any part of your nature that you need in the moment as well as subdue those parts that may inhibit you from reaching a goal or completing a task.

Number 11/33: The 33 is the “Master Teacher,” but not just any kind of teacher, one of intensely profound spiritual wisdom and enlightenment. It comes with incredibly high expectations, and is so demanding that very, very few people live up to its status. Therefore, for most people the 33 Expression number is similar to the 6 Expression: harmonious, loving, caring and sacrificing. However, the 33 Expression will emphasize all these qualities of the 6 — and they can be influenced in a positive way or in a negative way. When the 33 takes on a negative influence, you could actually be emotionally and physically damaging to those around you. But when positive, your ability to heal, comfort and care for others becomes a very prominent part of your makeup. You draw people toward you like moths to a flame.

Heart’s Desire/Soul Urge Number (calculated using the vowels of your full name)


Number 5:  Freedom is an essential element for your happiness to be complete. You love traveling, seeing new places, meeting new people, trying new things. Whenever a new idea comes to you, it gets you excited and your enthusiasm is infectious. This is a valuable leadership ability and one that you must work to continually cultivate and develop.

Be careful in your pursuit of change and be mindful of where your desire for freedom leads you. This part of your nature can make you extremely impetuous. This is especially true when it comes to finishing things you start. The goal can become an obsession that keeps you from seeing how to best to achieve it and that will tend to frustrate you. Frustration can only hold you back and that sense of disappointment can make you become very reserved emotionally. Don’t be afraid to release the passion that wells up within you. Fives are very passionate, they just have trouble finding appropriate outlets for their passion. When you find them, you will be unstoppable.

Personality Number (calculated using the consonants of your full name)

Number 6: You have a gift of true compassion so you likewise attract people who are in need of comfort or an empathetic shoulder. You care about their issues and suffer with them whenever they hurt or suffer injustice. Many Personality sixes are also empaths (those who literally sense the emotions of others, especially in areas of sadness, worry, fear or grief). For this reason it is imperative that you guard your own feelings and emotions.

You will also need to keep your mind in the game when dealing with people. You are very generous and word of your benevolent ways can spread like wildfire in the wrong circles. There are those who will seek to take advantage of you, especially for money. Be on guard whenever people share their financial woes. The likelihood of getting solicited to lend cash is likely high.

You are a hopeless romantic but also very loyal. You are always looking to settle down if you haven’t already. If you are married, chances are you are the greatest stabilizing force in your relationship. You are faithful and protected. When it comes to your children you are the quintessential mama/papa bear but you also respect your children’s need for space. You love with all your being but do your best not to smother.

You have a singular appreciation for the arts. You are a music lover over a broad spectrum and you enjoy live concerts and theater. You take pride in your tastes in these things and love sharing them with others.

Subconscious-Self Number (how many of the numbers are represented by your name)

Number 9: You tend to come across as a little impersonal and cold at times. People may find it difficult to form a relationship with you. It’s hard to read you most of the time since you are not very demonstrative emotionally. This doesn’t mean you lack feelings or affections for people and situations – they just manifest in a less emotionally-driven way. If all nine numbers are represented in your name, you don’t have any specific lessons that Karma is trying to teach you which makes you far less vulnerable than average to the variables that life throws people’s ways.

Balance Number (based on all letters of full name)

Number 11/2:  Tact and diplomacy are your best weapons in all personal battles. Leave your emotions out of it. They will only slow you down. Have faith in yourself and have trust in your intuition. The solution will present itself if you just trust your ability to see it. Face your problems head-on. Never cower. Never retreat. Work on defusing as many bombs as possible before they explode. You know what they say about an ounce of prevention….

Do stand up to your problems but also be willing to compromise in the interest of conflict resolution. Keep everything in proper perspective and don’t make more of a problem out of something than there is to be made. Your sensitive nature can throw things off balance. Learn how to stay centered and focused. You attract harmony and balance as part of your nature so take advantage of this. You h
