The realization or maturity number in
numerology tells about a person’s hidden dreams and desires. It tells
you about the steps that you should take which would be beneficial in
attaining the goals you have set for yourself. It gives you a sense of
direction. It also tells you about how you can contribute back to the
world with the knowledge that you have gained from life.
The Maturity Number thus describes your underlying wishes, desires,
and goals that you have set for your later years. It gives you a
certain direction in life and what an individual may contribute back to
the universe with their unique expressions, creations, and knowledge
gained through the experiences of life.
Maturity Number Meanings

make them carefree and adventurous.
As

for success. The feeling of being shown importance will increase your
confidence. You have a hidden desire to be complimented and rewarded for
your accomplishments.
This will automatically increase your confidence level
and self- assertiveness. Too many 1s among the core numbers signify a
stubborn and domineering attitude. And on the other hand, if you have
less 1s then you will lead an exciting and enterprising life.

interaction skills will improve. You will handle all sorts of
relationships with others tactfully. You deal with people with great
efficiency. Your congenial work relationships
with others will give a good impact on your professional life as well.
You like to serve the purpose of others and would like to help them in
their need, but people will not give the love and respect you deserve.
Too many 2’s makes you too sensitive and few 2’s make you have a social and cordial relationship
with others. You will discover unique in-built talent for understanding
and handling all sorts of relations. You will influence others through
your tactics. This will have a huge impact in your career and business.
You love to serve the needy, but you may not receive the public recognition
you deserve. Too many 2s will make you very sensitive. Few 2s may
signify a peaceful life and the ability to be adaptable and to work with
different people will increase.
Realization Number 3

confidence is at your peak at this time. Your relations with others
will improve. Your artistic talents and creativity are expressed in an
impressive way. You will have a happy and healthy relationship with
others. The influence of too many 3’s will make you irresponsible towards your work and few 3’s will have a positive effect of leading a carefree life.

In Numerology, we all have a Maturity Number.
The energy related to this number kicks in when we arrive into our 40s.
Side Note: I find it somewhat humorous that with Numerology, everything has a precise calculation except for the Maturity Number. The influence of this number appears to happen incrementally – from the age of 35 – 50.
It’s like driving down that stretch of I-70 and seeing those billboards. As you travel your life’s path, your Maturity Number provides you with a final destination point. It is where you’re headed, whether you know it or not. And if you’ve been driving for hours in hopes of having dinner rolls thrown at you, then all the better.
And usually it comes as a “midlife message,” which can feel like a crisis, changing/transformation point, or a “settling down.”
In many ways, the Maturity Number indicates the nature of your true self – an ultimate goal and encompassing mission. It also more distinctly guides and informs the second portion of your life – after the early “been there, done that” years. Most Numerologist’s agree that the impact of this number is in full force by the time you reach the age of 50 and continues to influence you for the rest of your life.
The gift of this additional energy is that “suddenly” you feel that you don’t have the time nor patience to waste on things that aren’t moving you toward this ultimate goal, whatever that may be for you individually.
You calculate the Maturity Number (also called the Reality or Realization Number) by adding your Life Path number and your Destiny/Expression number together.
The Maturity Number points to the “true you.”
It has an underlying influence on our thoughts and actions as we reach into our 40s and beyond. It indicates your true power and your highest form of evolution.

3 Maturity (by Decoz)
As you mature, you will find yourself becoming increasingly extroverted and optimistic about your future. Your self-expression and creativity improve markedly. You may become inspired to take up some type of artistic endeavor, such as writing, acting, or music, if you are not already involved in one of these areas.
Your ability to communicate will substantially improve. You are naturally more fluent and may find yourself dressing with a certain flair. Be careful not to fall victim to superficial appearances, or chasing after glamour and extravagance.
With a 3 Maturity Number you can look forward to a pleasant and social latter part of life. Your attitude will be increasingly positive and your popularity will rise.
If you already have several 3s in your chart, especially in your core numbers, you may have a tendency to scatter your energies and take your responsibilities less seriously. If you have few 3s, or are missing 3s entirely, you will experience a great relief from the tension and seriousness of life. You will be more relaxed and capable of enjoying life.
