In this article, we will discuss the final two core numbers in the Numerology Profile - the Maturity and Personality Numbers.
The Personality Number
The best way to think about the Personality Number is to equate it
with first impressions because it allows you to see yourself as others
see you.
The Personality Number is calculated using the consonants of a
person's birth name. Similar to the Soul Number, the letter "Y" is only
considered to be a consonant when it is silent. Good examples are in the
first names Ray, Maya and Tanya.
By this point, you should have a good idea of how to calculate the
numbers, so we won't go through any examples here. Just remember that
when you do calculate the Personality Number, you should use the
person's first and last names as they appear on their birth
certificate.
What the Numbers Mean
Personality Number 1 - People with this Personality
Number are dynamic, efficient, controlled and capable. Personality
Number 1s are often characterized as pioneers and have their own
distinct way of doing things. Because of this, care needs to be taken to
ensure actions are not misinterpreted as being overly aggressive or
intimidating.
Personality Number 2 - People with this personality
Number are characterized as being friendly and unpretentious and can
easily draw others to them with their warm and inviting presence.
Patience and understanding are also key characteristics. Personality
Number 2s are particularly concerned with their personal appearance and
take the time needed to dress and groom well.
Personality Number 3 - People with this Personality
Number are usually quite attractive and have a tremendous appreciation
for finer things such as clothing and jewelry. Often characterized as
being uplifting, inspiring and charming, Personality Number 3s are
usually fun people to spend time with. Because of this, however, deep
and lasting relationships typically require a little more work.
Personality Number 4 - Reliability and consistency
describe people with this Personality Number. These are the people that
others trust implicitly and with whom they feel most secure. Always
careful spenders, people with this Personality Number are concerned with
the security of their future, they are deeply patriotic and can usually
be found filling some important role within their community.
Personality Number 5 - People with this Personality
Number are stimulating and engaging and have a great deal of nervous
energy. They view life as an ongoing adventure and are typically
athletic. On the downside, Personality Number 5s are drawn to anything
that feeds their senses, including food, alcohol, drugs and sex and
often indulge in these to an excess.
Personality Number 6 - People with a Personality
Number of 6 are understanding and compassionate and tend to attract
people who are in need of comfort. Other characteristics include being
artistic, romantic, faithful, protective, and having an excellent sense
of color and taste. Because they value peace and harmony, Personality
Number 6s will often sacrifice their own needs for the good of others.
Personality Number 7 - Those with a Personality
Number of 7 are seen as being mysterious and different, making them
difficult to get to know. Highly independent and self-sufficient,
Personality Number 7s exude a great deal of confidence, wisdom and even
spirituality. Seen by some as being arrogant, care has to be taken to
not offend others.
Personality Number 8 - Those with a Personality
Number of 8 are seen as strong, powerful and above all, confident.
Quality is important to people with this Personality Number and it is
often reflected in the way they dress. On the downside, Personality
Number 8s can be egocentric and adopt greedy, ruthless behaviors.
Personality Number 9 - Those with this Personality
Number are characterized as being elegant, graceful and charismatic.
Unfortunately, these qualities can cause some to believe they are better
than others. Better suited for working with crowds rather than
individuals, Personality Number 9s are often performers. Other
characteristics include being sympathetic, compassionate, and
benevolent.
Master Personality Number 11 - People with this
Personality Number, while extremely sensitive and intuitive, can also be
quite shy. Seen by most as gentle and warm, people with this
Personality Number are patient and understanding and above all, seek
peace and harmony. Other characteristics include a fine sense of beauty
and excellent taste in food, clothing and home decor.
Master Personality Number 22 - People with this
Personality Number are intelligent, sensitive, and creative. Seen as
reliable and dependable, Personality Number 22s value correctness,
control and consistency, family life and patriotism. Their goal is often
to create or be involved in something that will have lasting importance
or significance.
Because it is rare to see Personality Numbers higher than 22, there is not much known about the remaining Master Numbers.
The Maturity Number
The fifth and final core number in the Numerology Profile is the
Maturity Number. This number tells us how the attributes a person
cultivated during their lifetime might be used toward the betterment of
society. It also indicates the extent to which a person may expect to
lead a meaningful, satisfying and happy life as they enter their later
years. As a result, the energies associated with this number usually do
not appear until one approaches the mid-point of their life which is
usually also the time at which most individuals finally begin to truly
understand themselves.
The Maturity Number is calculated by combining the energies of the Destiny and Life Path Numbers:
Destiny Number + Life Path Number = Maturity Number.
It's that simple.
Be sure to remember to apply all of the rules that you have learned thus far for handling special situations.
Take a few minutes now to calculate your Maturity Number.
The Meanings of the Maturity Number
So, what does the Maturity Number mean? Let's take a look.
Maturity Number 1 - Those with a Maturity Number of 1
can expect to learn leadership qualities early in their life. As a
result, they are usually the ones who most often identify what needs to
be done and the developing a plan for making sure it is finished. They
are often seen as being set in their ways which, at times, makes them a
little difficult to deal with. In their later years, Personality Number
1s will work hard to ensure they maintain their independence and
self-sufficiency.
Maturity Number 2 - Those with a Maturity Number of 2
have a natural ability of attracting people who want to support their
efforts. However, in order for a person with this Maturity Number to
succeed in relationships, they need to learn how to give as well as
take. Inherent abilities in music, painting, writing or dancing should
be cultivated early, otherwise regrets may come in later years.
Happiness is found by ensuring there is harmony within their life. In
their later years, Maturity Number 2s will find themselves in the
company of another person, rather than living alone.
Maturity Number 3 - Those with a Maturity Number of 3
have an active imagination and a strong creative spirit and are
happiest when these gifts are used frequently. Sensitive and expressive,
Maturity Number 3s can easily become depressed if they are not
permitted to reveal these traits. In their later years, Maturity Number
3s can expect to be permitted to spend time with friends and enjoying
creative pursuits.
Maturity Number 4 - Those with a Maturity Number of 4
will learn the importance of hard work and discipline in their early
years. They will take these lessons into their later years and attempt
to create or contribute something of lasting value to society. Other
characteristics include the ability to organize, build, plan, and bring
new ideas to fruition. In their later years, the Maturity Number 4 will
use the skills they developed during their lifetime to approach any
developing health issues with a well-organized plan.
Maturity Number 5 - Those with a Maturity Number of 5
will find themselves in a life that is full of changes. Their natural
curiosity and interest in virtually any subject will cause some
confusion about their life's ultimate journey. As they mature, people
with this Maturity Number seek to take lessons from each experience and
apply them to the next. In their later years, the Maturity Number 5 can
expect to travel extensively.
Maturity Number 6 - Those with a Maturity Number of 6
will take the welfare of others quite seriously. Highly principled,
this person values fairness, goodness and family life and is able to
balance giving with receiving. Their home is their safe haven and they
take the time to make it comfortable and welcoming. In their later
years, the Maturity Number 6 will find themselves happy, contented and
surrounded by their family.
Maturity Number 7 - Those with a Maturity Number of 7
will approach life in their own style and as a result, are often
characterized as "marching to the beat of a different drummer". People
with this Maturity Number value solitude and prefer to focus their
efforts on one activity rather than pursuing many. In their later years,
the Maturity Number 7 will often be sought out by others for their
wisdom and guidance.
Maturity Number 8 - Those with a Maturity Number of 8
will work hard to find a balance between the material and spiritual
aspects of life. With the ability to see the big picture, they are often
the leaders because it is through leadership that they are able to put
their organizational skills to work. In their later years, the Maturity
Number 8 will likely find themselves continuing to direct and lead
activities.
Maturity Number 9 - Those with a Maturity Number of 9
will probably be faced with a life that is filled with challenges,
specifically with respect to finding the right ways to use their
compassion and humanitarian gifts. In their later years, the Maturity
Number 9 will use their gifts in ways to better the world in which they
live.
Master Maturity Number 11 - People with this Master
Maturity Number are highly self-aware and are usually wise beyond their
years. In their later years, Master Maturity Number 11s usually pursue
interests in the spiritual, health and nutrition areas.
Master Maturity Number 22 - People with a Master
Maturity Number of 22 are those that others count on to make things
happen. Natural leaders, people with this Maturity Number are adept at
facing challenges. In their later years, Master Maturity Number 22s will
continue to be active while balancing relationships, work, health and
inner peace.
Master Maturity Number 33 - This Master Maturity
Number, which rarely occurs, can expect to benefit from their lifetime
of responsible behavior and service to others. When it comes to caring
for others, there are no limits to what this person will do. In their
later years, the Master Maturity Number 33 will find themselves sought
out for their friendship, creativity, sympathetic nature and ability to
love.
Advanced Topics in Numerology
Calculating and analyzing the five Core Numerology Numbers are just a
small part of Numerology. Now that you know how to calculate these
numbers and what they mean, it is time to put them to work to help
predict what the future may have in store for us.
As their names imply, the Pinnacle and Challenge Numbers tell us
about our potential for achievement and identify the difficulties we may
encounter along the way. We'll begin with the Pinnacle Numbers.
Pinnacle Numbers
Remember, the objective of Numerology is to predict major life
changes - or pinnacles - in our lives. These big transformations are
necessary to prevent the apathy and ambivalence that would almost
certainly occur if life were to continue along at a predictable pace.
The Pinnacle Number tells us what to expect in the future. Having
this information can help us to fully achieve our goals, hopes and
dreams.
Each person has four Pinnacle Numbers:
First Pinnacle - The First Pinnacle typically covers
the period from birth through age 27 however in some individuals, this
period can last through age 35. It is calculated by adding together your
month of birth and date of birth. To find out how long your First
Pinnacle period will last, simply subtract your Life Path Number from
36.
Second Pinnacle - The Second Pinnacle is nine years
in length and is referred to as a period of blossoming and ripening.
This is typically the period in one's life when family obligations are
in the forefront of their being. It is calculated by adding together
your date of birth and year of birth. To find out how long your Second
Pinnacle will last, add nine to your age at the end of your First
Pinnacle (as calculated above).
Third Pinnacle - The Third Pinnacle is also nine
years in length and typically occurs during one's middle-age years. This
period is frequently referred to as a time of manifestation and reward.
It is calculated by adding together the First Pinnacle and Second
Pinnacle numbers. To find out how long your Third Pinnacle will last,
add nine to your age at the end of your Second Pinnacle (as calculated
above).
Fourth Pinnacle - The Fourth Pinnacle usually begins
at around age 50 and lasts for the duration of one's life. This period
is frequently referred to as a time of aging, reflection and wisdom. It
is calculated by adding together the month of birth and the year of
birth. Your Fourth Pinnacle will last for the duration of your life;
there is no calculation involved.
Working with Pinnacle Numbers is a little different than working with
the other numbers we've discussed so far. One of the key differences is
that while all double-digit numbers are reduced, Master Numbers are
not. This is because the appearance of a Master Number indicates that it
is time for the individual to "step up to the plate" and show their
true abilities.
By now, you should have had enough practice calculating numbers, so
we will not provide an example here. However, before continuing, take a
few minutes to calculate your four Pinnacle Numbers.
What the Pinnacle Numbers Mean
Pinnacle Number 1 - This number is influenced by a
driving need for independence, the desire to use original ideas, the
ability to lead and direct others, and being recognized for one's
achievements.
Pinnacle Number 2 - This number is influenced by the
forces of friendliness, cooperation, harmony and attention to detail.
It is during this Pinnacle Number that sensitivity is usually at its
peak.
Pinnacle Number 3 - This number is influenced by
travel, social activities, friends and entertainment as well as an
affectionate and outgoing nature.
Pinnacle Number 4 - This number is influenced by a
practical, realistic approach to life and is characterized by a high
level of order and organization.
Pinnacle Number 5 - This number is influenced by an
increase in freedom and a corresponding decrease in responsibility.
There is also an increased chance of sudden and unexpected change
associated with this number.
Pinnacle Number 6 - This number is influenced by responsibility and a close connection with home, family and children.
Pinnacle Number 7 - This number is influenced by
learning, investigating and gaining skills and is generally
characterized as a time of transition.
Pinnacle Number 8 - This number is influenced by
business and commercial activity, status, success and recognition.
Positive changes in one's financial status often occur when this number
is present.
Pinnacle Number 9 - This number is influenced by humanitarianism and a genuine concern for the weak, poor and less fortunate.
Master Number 11/2 Pinnacle - Because this number is
indicative of a time of extraordinary sensitivity, care must be taken
to ensure balance is maintained. People in this Pinnacle have the desire
to uplift, inspire, and share their revelations.
Master Number 22/4 Pinnacle - This number is influenced by a need to build something of lasting value and to do good work that will benefit humankind.
Master Number 33/6 Pinnacle - This number occurs only rarely and usually occurs after some sort of major change in consciousness has happened.
Challenge Numbers
We all know that life isn't without its challenges. In Numerology,
the Challenge Numbers help us to find a way to maintain our equilibrium
even when the going gets tough.
It is important to realize that Challenge Numbers do not exist to
warn us about the things we need to overcome in our lifetime; rather,
they help us to see
who or
what we must become in order to be successful.
There are four Challenge Numbers which occur during the same periods
as the Pinnacle Numbers. The Challenge Numbers are calculated as
follows:
First Challenge Number - The month of birth is subtracted from the day of birth
Second Challenge Number - The day of birth is subtracted from the year of birth
Third Challenge Number - The First Challenge Number is subtracted from the Second Challenge Number.
Fourth Challenge Number - The month of birth is subtracted from the year of birth
Up until this point, we have always added two (or more) numbers
together to obtain our numbers. Since calculating the Challenge Number
requires us to subtract, there exists the possibility that we will end
up with a negative number. If this occurs, simply ignore the negative
sign and convert the number to a positive. Thus, -3 becomes 3, -5
becomes 5 and so on.
There also exists the possibility that one of the Challenge Numbers
can be zero. This is perfectly fine; many Numerology experts believe
that zero is indicative of an "old soul" - someone who have returned
through many lifetimes and bring with them the wisdom and spiritual
knowledge of someone who has experienced life. It is also believed that a
Challenge Number zero leaves its owner open to the challenges of all
the other numbers.
Similarly, there is no Challenge Number 9 because 9 is the highest
number that can appear anywhere in a birth date (remember, the numbers
for October, November and December are reduced to single digits) and all
other numbers are subtracted from it. For the same reason, there are no
Master Challenge Numbers.
Challenge Number 1 - The challenge of this number is
to avoid being dominated without being disagreeable. Those with this
number often need to work hard to keep their egos in check and should
rely on their wit and intelligence to get them through the rough spots.
Challenge Number 2 - The challenge of this number is
to be assertive in the decision making process and refrain from taking
things too personally. While there will be the tendency to shy away from
authority and responsibility, these challenges must be faced head-on.
Challenge Number 3 - The challenge of this number is
to remember to cultivate friends and be sociable while maintaining
involvement with activities that include writing, acting or speaking.
Fear of criticism is always present which often manifests itself in an
air of shyness.
Challenge Number 4 - The challenge of this number is
to be able to complete tasks efficiently, learn patience, understanding
and the practical, common sense way of dealing with the mundane
responsibilities of life.
Challenge Number 5 - The challenge of this number is
to overcome the desire and demand for freedom at any price. It is
important to refrain from impulsive acts and attempt to maintain some
sort of stability. Care should also be taken to ensure that any desire
for change that may be present isn't actually a desire to escape
responsibility.
Challenge Number 6 - The challenge of this number is
to be able to compromise one's high standards without appearing as
authoritarian, intolerant, and self-righteous. It is important to avoid
creating friction in relationships while attempting to achieve balance
in situations.
Challenge Number 7 - The challenge of this number is
the tendency to dwell on one's limitations. This number is
characterized by a discomfort with one's own inner feelings and a belief
that one's situation cannot be improved.
Challenge Number 8 -
The challenge of this number is a belief that happiness comes only from
material wealth. There is an enormous focus on money, status and power
which must be balanced with other life matters.Source:
