2.0 Understanding Numerology Meanings

Odd numbers are masculine. Even numbers are feminine. When we say masculine and feminine, we are not talking about a specific gender. It means the "traits" of masculine and feminine energy within us all.

Masculine: active, creative, thrusting, and cold

Feminine: passive, receptive, yielding and warm

Masculine and feminine tendencies are visible in both sexes. In fact, many numerology numbers for women are very masculine, and visa versa. We all know men who are gentle and nurturing. And, we also know women who are aggressive and cold.

Some of the characteristics of the numbers 1 through 9, as well as some of the “Master Numbers”(numbers that are not reduced) are shown below, and represent the progressive lifecycle of men and women, the total spectrum of experience. Each number is given a few personality traits. In general:

•• The Number 1
• The numerology meaning of this number is unity, beginnings, God, masculine, creative, symbol of physical and mental activity. It’s a number that expresses leadership, spotlight type individuality. There’s a tendency to being organized, and ambitious. One's go to the top in everything that peaks their interest, reflecting a natural leader. They are forerunners and original thinkers. Leadership or a position of power is where they’re happiest. Often, they are loners, and can be aggressive. The ambition to succeed can overshadow good judgment. The biggest lesson for one's is to dim that spotlight...sit back sometimes to recognize and appreciate the light in others.

•• The Number 2
• Dualist beliefs, Gnostic. This is a feminine numerology meanings number with traits like yielding, receptive, accepting, forgiving, passive, uncomplicated and stable. But, two's make things or groups function more efficiently. Devotion to truth and simplicity is of major importance. Two’s are the opposite personality to "1's". They are followers, good subordinates and team members. Often too subservient, which others perceive as weak or shy because of their natural gentleness. Because of their natural tendencies towards peace and diplomacy, they can appreciate both sides of an argument and are good mediators. Their path in life is to nurture and make the ideas of others shine...make their systems work. Two's need for peaceful assertion makes their lives work extremely smooth, while others suffer.

•• The Number 3
• Masculine. The Holy Trinity, (father, son, and holy ghost). Three's are active, harmonious, pleasure–loving, and they bring joy to others in numerology meaning. Many politicians are threes with excellent conversational skills, but they can often be superficial. They give hope to others who see the dark side of things. These shining lights work hard to stop negativity from entering into their lives. The good in something usurps the bad every time. They are born mediators between 1 and 2 to draw them together. Extreme versatility and highly sociable attitudes make them well liked. In partnerships, they are sexually interested and interesting both. Three’s meet and live life head on.

•• The Number 4
• Feminine. The number of matter in numerology meanings. Represents 4 seasons, 4 elements, 4 directions, 4 sides to a cube. Four's mirror magical geometry and buildings. They are stable, rigid, sure-footed, determined to reach their goals in a straight line. When things come without effort, fours are uneasy, thinking if it’s good it must take hard work. Often they are so focused on their goal they miss the small pleasures of life. These stable, security loving people are often unmoving and dull. They are hardworking, good employees especially in planning, organization and administration. Four’s biggest challenge is to find the “middle of the road”, so they have balance in their lives.

•• The Number 5
• Masculine. Number of the senses, four limbs and one head make five main projections from the torso. Stars. Also sexual, male (3), female (2). Fives are likely to be restless, lively, adventuresome, quick-thinking, and quick-tempered. They love change and challenge, but take too many risks. It's common for them to act first and think later, which causes stumbling along the path. But, five’s are progressive, free thinking, exciting, fun loving and sexual in numerology meanings. Simple everyday life is unattractive to these types. Five's handle unexpected changes and challenges well. Five’s goal is to be forever youthful and have a good sense of humor. These traits make them happy and pleasurable company. Freedom is important to them, so stability conscious types would do better to look somewhere else.

•• The Number 6
• Feminine. The combination of the upward male triangle and downward female triangle for the 6 pointed star. Sixes numerology meanings show they possess the nurturing side of womanhood: safe, stable, warm, domestic, and motherly. Sixes are natural homemakers, giving love, warmth and security to their families even if they are a man. They are supportive, harmonious, companionable, responsible, good problem solvers who know life requires adjustments along the way. Sometimes smugness and a self-satisfying attitude can reveal an interfering know-it-all. Sixes major lesson in life is to adapt and adjust to lives changes in themselves and others.

•• The Number 7
• Masculine. This is the holiest and most magical of all the numerology meaning numbers, possessing strength and psychic ability. Creation and rest in 7 days, 7 pillars of wisdom, 7 chakras, 7 stars in the Big Dipper. Seven’s are reflective and have a tendency towards mysticism or the occult. This is the number of an introspective individualists who is often a loner. They're highly intellectual, and not materialistic, but somehow money finds them. Not considered social butterflies, seven's are often perceived as cold and distant. It's immaterial, because they are unaffected by the opinions of others. Seven’s are disciplined and work well without supervision, which they prefer to team efforts. Often they will escape into daydreaming, needing little rest, relaxation and sleep. Their challenge in life is to seek and understand the Truth. Seven's need to be gentle with themselves though, and learn that being alone is not the same as loneliness.

•• The Number 8
• Feminine. This is the number of material matters and practicality. But, eights must learn how money can be used for the greater good. This is their numerology meanings challenge. They are a symbol of infinity, which leads to the next life...the eight-fold path away from materialism in Buddhism. Eight's like to accumulate wealth. This number is worldly and hardworking, but often lacks patience and pliability. Eight's are tough, being persistent till they accomplish a task. They make excellent business people, because they like order and making money. Often they lose what they make though. But, they can be ruthless in pursuit of their goals. On the other hand, they are very family oriented, protecting their loved ones. Learning that love, passion and marital commitment are just as much a part of success as material gain is another of their numerology meanings challenges.

•• The Number 9
• Masculine. A product of 3 x 3 makes nine a powerful number. Nine represents achievement and completion. There are 9 months in pregnancy, 9 initiations during our advancing from a lower stage to a higher stage. In numerology meaning, nine’s are achievers, possessing bright ideas, high ideals, and innate abilities. They take the big picture into consideration with their broad visions, global thinking, and universal problem solving capabilities. Their goal is to culminate, complete and finish all endeavors. Nine’s are always looking for ways to improve on any situation or project. Traveling to distance places and possibly even having a foreign spouse is all part of a nine’s makeup. These high energy people are creative often artistic, but they can be self-centered when it comes to their achievements. Recognition is important, but they will never flaunt their achievements. Nine's biggest challenge as indicated by numerology meanings...is to let go! When something has reached completion...it’s outlived it’s usefulness. Or, as in the case of a relationship, it may simply be time to end it, which means you have to let it go.

•• The Number 11
• Masculine/Feminine. This is the numerology meanings number of revelation and spiritual insight. Eleven’s are intuitive, practical, unconventional but sensible. Eleven reduces to 1 + 1. This number has many 2-type attributes, as well as 1’s because of the 1 and 1. These personality qualities make them more balanced between the masculine and feminine. We should start to see more "11's" in people's numerology meanings numbers as the feminine finds itself within us all.

•• The Number 22
• Feminine. This numerology meanings number has particular importance in the Kabbalah. The Tree of Life is joined by 22 paths. There are 22 letters in Hebrew alphabet, and 22 cards in the Major Arcana of Tarot their lives and environment is important to a twenty-two. This number reduces to 2 + 2. They have the more positive aspects of the number four. Notice how the numerology meaning of this number stays very feminine.

As a quick example, let us look at a birth date of July 17, 1959

Each month from January to December has an assoicatied number from 1 to 12, so July would be 7.
The day 17 becomes 1+7 = 8.
The year 1959 becomes 1+9+5+9 = 24

We find the numerology meaning number by adding all of the three numbers together so we have:
7 + 8 + 24 = 39 ===> 3+9 = 12 ===> 1 + 2 = 3

Now, we look at the number "3" to see it's numerology meaning and it's personality traits. You now have what is considered in this case, the person's tendencies.
