This is probably a common question but why when I look at a clock does the number 11 keep coming up?

Thank you for asking! I am pleased that so many readers are aware of the significance of this number Please refer to the question below as I responded in detail to another reader with the same type of question.

Thomas asked,

I was wondering if you could tell me what my birthday means when you have time. this is really interesting…nov 16, 1977

Thank you for your interest!

Your birth numbers; 11, 16, 1977 add up to a total of 33; 3+3 = 6. So your Life Path number is a six. The next article coming in April’s magazine features this number.

If after reading this, you want more information you may contact me for a full Numerological Profile.

On January 11th 2010 Jo-Anne asked:

Hello; I was born on July 2, 1955. I’m wondering what this means?

Is it possible that you can do a reading on my numbers to determine this?

Thanks.

Hi Jo-Anne,

Thank you for taking the time to write to True Blue Spirit magazine asking for clarification on your birthdate.

Your birthdate of July 02, 1955 ( 7 + 2 + 1 + 9 + 5 + 5 = 29) adds up to 29 which reduces to 11, so your Life Path number is the Master Number 11.

This life path gives you the energetic thrust to explore and understand your own spiritual energy as well as the divine realms within you. A rare few are born to mediumship while most find the awakening of psychic insight is a gift that enables them to be of better service to their families and friends. Some are not ready for the power of the 11 and must grow into it. They will vibrate more easily to the # 2; learning to use their intuition and understand their unique place in the world of relationships and service.

I hope this is helpful to you.

Namaste’

Numbers are magical, numbers are mundane and numbers are everything in between! At their most basic, numbers

Our human tendencies, strengths and weaknesses, from our basic ego to our mystical potential, can all be better understood with the help of Numerology. But here, numbers become more than a measure of quantity, here they evolve into the qualitative and continue forward into esoteric understandings that are increasingly fluid and beyond the measurable and basic mathematical concepts from which they sprang.

Let’s begin:

Numerology is based on the use of the numbers 1 through 9.

# 1- represents the Self; the self-starter, beginning state which contains the ‘seed’ of gnosis

#2- duality; intuition, gateway to wisdom

#3- analysis; equilibrium, first balance point

#4- stability; structure

#5- chaotic motion; heart center

#6- creative mind; ‘home’

#7- teaching/learning by doing

#8- spiritual action; independent

#9- attainment; combines attributes of all numbers

Have a specific question about numerology? Ask Our Numerologist!

Question #1    – “What is my number and how do I figure it out?”

Answer ~ “The adding up of the numbers in your birthdates is pretty straightforward and here are some easy methods of how you can go about it. First convert the month to its proper number – Aug = 8, Sept = 9 May = 5 etc., and then proceed as follows:

Example: February 5 1947

Method one – add vertically:

Month =       2

Day =       5

Year = 1947

Total: = 1954

Then, add:

1

9

5

4

Total:   19

Then add 1+9 and get 10, next add 1+0 and arrive at 1.  The Life Path or Ruling number is a 1 for this birthdate.

Method two – add horizontally: (Feb = 2) – 2+5+1+9+4+7= 28.  Then add the 2 and 8 together and get 10 – Then add 1+0 and of course we end up with a number 1! *” I prefer this method as it is faster for me or perhaps I am just used to it.

All birthdate numbers that add up to 19, 28, 37, 46 etc reduce to the number ‘1’

Question # 2. “Am I a two or an eleven?”

Two

Answer ~ if your total adds up to exactly 20 then your Life Path number is a two.

Example one: November 30 1941 – (Nov =11) – 1+1+ 3 +0+1+9+4+1 = 20;

Example two: Feb. 20 1942 – (Feb = 2) – 2+2+0+1+9+4+2 = 20.

Eleven

If your numbers add up to 11, 29, 38, 47 38 etc., your number is the Master Number 11.

Example one: Nov.12, 2004 – (Nov = 11) 1+1+1+2+2+0+0+4 = 11

Example two: January 28 1998 – (Jan = 1) 1+2+8+1+9+9+8 = 38; 3+8 = 11

Question # 3. “Am I a 22 or a 4?”

Four

Answer ~ if your total adds up to 13, 31, 40, 49 etc., your number is a four as these numbers all reduce to the number four.

Example one: April 4 1967 – (April = 4) 4+4+1+9+6+7= 31; 3+1 = 4

Twenty two

If you are the Master Number 22, your numbers will total 22 exactly!

Example one: November 2, 1971 – (Nov = 2-1+1); 1+1+2+1+9+7+1 = 22

Example two: January 20, 1954 – (Jan = 1) 1+2+1+9+5+4= 22

Question # 4. “Why do you call the birth date numbers Ruling Numbers, or Life Path numbers and not Destiny Numbers or another name like some authors?”

Answer ~ “There are many different names for the same set of numbers and this can be very confusing!  The truth is many authors like to come up with their own names for the various combinations of numbers that are possible to work with. I have been predominantly writing about the birth date numbers in the True Blue Spirit magazine and I call them Ruling numbers and also refer to them as Life Path numbers so readers who are familiar with numerological terms can more easily identify with what I am writing about.

The more you read and study the more you will find that the terms I am using are the most widely used by authors in general. There are dozens of books about numerology and the reader has to go with the flow of terminology the author is presenting in order to understand his or her point of view.  Each author presents their point of view based on their own training as well as their own experiences with clients, friends and family.  The most important thing is to understand how these numbers influence our lives and how this awareness can help us grow to be better developed, happier and spiritually aware people.
