Chapter One: An Introduction to Arithmancy

The word ‘Arithmancy’ is derived from two Greek words – arithmos (meaning number) and manteia (meaning divination); as such, Arithmancy is the branch of magic studying the occult meanings of numbers as a means of divining their influence on human life. Arithmancy can be thought of as the science of number energies, with each number having its own vibratory influence. Studying what these numbers mean in relation to your birth name and birth date gives a detailed portrait of who you are and what your potentials and challenges are. Think of it as a convenient map for your life!

The science of Arithmancy originated in the ancient cultures of the Greeks, Chinese, Egyptians, and Romans. However, the official birth of Arithmancy is credited to Pythagoras, a sixth-century B.C.E. Greek philosopher, mathematician, and mystic, who is historically known as the "father of numbers". Pythagoras, though born in Samos, Greece, spent most of his life in Croton, Calabria in Southern Italy, where he established a school of learning, founded on strong numerical beliefs, one of which was that all life could be predicted and measured in rhythmic patterns or cycles because everything was related to mathematics. He believed that the higher an object’s vibration, the more spirit force it contained, hence the more positive its nature. Likewise, the lower an object’s vibration, the less force and more negative its action. When taken all together, the vibration of everything in the universe creates an absolute, undivided unity. These beliefs led to his system of Arithmancy, in which the numbers 1 through 9 are symbolic representations of the nine stages of the human life cycle.

Although the term was not used in Pythagoras’s time to describe him or his pupils, the term currently used to describe those studying or practicing Arithmancy is an ‘Arithmancer.’ One particular Arithmancer of great historical importance is Bridget Wenlock, who in the 1200s discovered the magical properties of the number seven.

Chapter Two: The Pythagorean Number System

There are currently two major branches/methods of practicing Arithmancy in existence – the Pythagorean (Agrippan) Method and the Chaldean Method. The major distinction between these systems is the presence of the number 9. While the Pythagorean System uses the number 9 to represent letters, the Chaldean System excludes this number completely. We will be working with the Pythagorean Method ONLY.

In the Pythagorean Number System, the letters A-Z are assigned numerical values 1-9 as follows:



The numbers 1 through 9 have definite, unique, symbolic meanings that correspond to the evolution of a person’s life:

1. Beginning
2. Connecting
3. Creating
4. Building
5. Changing
6. Nurturing
7. Reevaluating
8. Expanding
9. Completing

Chapter Ten: Core Companions: Birth Day Number

Chapter Eleven: Core Companions: Maturity Number

The Maturity Number
The Maturity Number is a companion number to the Core that reveals the true you. It shows how your Soul Number, Destiny Number, and Personality Number work in concert with you Life Path Number to reveal the true essence of who you are.

Finding Your Maturity Number: Add together the energies of all that you are: birth name (Destiny Number) + birth date (Life Path Number).


What Your Maturity Number Reveals About You:

ONE (1): Expect to learn leadership early in life. Your best results will come from starting new things, and your strong opinions and ambition will lead you to positions of authority, although you should be careful to temper your bossy and domineering tendencies. With your good memory and excellent concentration, you're a natural for taking over what needs to be done, and doing it. You can be set in your ways and be a stickler about one thing. You usually have a good deal of discipline and order, and are not necessarily conventional. While you may think that your ways are always the best ways, do not expect for all others to follow suit.

TWO (2): Expect to get others to help you because you'll naturally attract those who will want to support you. You may have difficulty with relationships early in life until you learn that helpfulness is a two-way street - giving and receiving. Your true self is a peacemaker to the core and you will do whatever is needed to ensure harmony in your relationships and surroundings, although you will fight for your peace if you're pushed to far. You are naturally sensitive with artistic ability, which if ignored, may cause you regret as you grow older.

THREE (3): Expect a vibrant imagination and a notable artistic talent to be yours, although this may be repressed early in your life. Your creative ability comes naturally, so the more you use it, the happier you will be. Your true self is both emotionable and expressive, and if you hinder either from flourishing, you may become depressed, bad-tempered, or even childishly insolent. At the same time, you're fun and humorous with a gift words and the quick retort. Most notable is your appetite and enthusiasm for life.

FOUR (4): Expect the desire to make dreams practical, and in your younger years, you'll learn the value of discipline and hard work. As your maturity grows, you'll create opportunities for yourself to contribute to something enduring. You're a natural organizer that is more than able to build, plan, and order things - bringing ideas into form. Your true self is steadfast, honorable, and true, with a talent for organizing. Permanency is fitting word associated with you, as are high standards and expectations, responsibility, and constancy to see things through to the end.

FIVE (5): Expect your life to be exciting and full of changes - because if it's not, you'll see to making a change. Early in your life you may have a tendency to be confused about what direction your life should follow due to your vast interest in and curiosity about any and everything. Your true self is resourceful, independent, with multiple talents and the utmost belief in freedom. You thrive on new things and situations, considering life to be full of opportunities for stimulation and adventure. You are a quick thinker, bold, and likely unconventional.

SIX (6): Expect the welfare of all others to be of utmost importance. You are the giver, the humanitarian, with strong principles about justice, goodness, and family values. You'll be your best when you learn the balance between giving and receiving. Your true self loves things of beauty and the home. You're a nurturer, but you need to be aware of giving too much, as well as of clutching on to your ideals too tightly. Your generosity and helpful nature cause you to never stop giving, no matter how many problems are presented to you.

SEVEN (7): Expect to live your life in your own unique way. Your solitary and analytical nature cause you to be at your best when left to your own devices. Your true self values specialization and solitude, and getting to the truth of a matter is what excites you (although you won't seem excited to others). Wasting time is a waste of time to you, so you won't be caught doing anything frivolous or fun for fun's sake. Seeking the truth in spiritual, scientific, or philosophical matters is what suits you best.

EIGHT (8): Expect reward through accomplishment, because as you reap, so you shall sow. You have the potential for mastery, but you must learn to balance the material and spiritual before you can master anything. You ability to lead others stems from you ability to see the big picture, but you must always work toward a clear purpose to achieve success. Your true self will have to work hard to achieve anything, but this makes you strong. You're efficiency, organization, capability, and strength makes you excellent at directing and organizing. You must be strong to attain balance between the two levels of life represented by the two loops of the 8 - the material world and the spiritual world.

NINE (9): Expect that life won't always be easy - that's because you're learning to give up the physical world for the spiritual one and you'll have to learn to let go of loving people in order to love humanity. At the same time, your talents will come very easily to you and you may mistakenly believe that your gifts are meant to be used to achieve the easy life, when in reality, they're given so you can master this plane and move on. Your true self is both kind-hearted and altruistic, but for you to be at your best, you must practice these qualities on an impersonal level. There are two dangers that come with your talents - using them for personal gain (which can bring destruction to your life) and ignoring your sense of service. Your greatest joy is in true universal love, because with this number of reward, the greatest good will come from the greatest giving.

ELEVEN (11/2): Expect that at an early age, you'll have an unusual amount of self-understanding as well as the ability to see through emotional experiences to the truth within - a wisdom beyond your years. You'll require good diet and plenty of rest with this highly nervous, intense number. You'll also need companionship without sacrificing independence, and you may attain fame somehow. If you're a female, you're likely strikingly beautiful and feminine, while if you're male, you're likely charismatic and refined with exceptionally good manners. These extraordinary qualities may seem too insense to others for everyday life. In that case, you'll return to the 2 and all that number entails.

TWENTY-TWO (22/4): Expect to make things happen. Though you will encounter more obstacles than most, your masterful competency will help you to overcome any barriers. You'll be very successful in life. Your true self is both a leader and a manager. You have an inner stability and power with a firm rooting in universal principles that you draw upon when you happen across a challenge. You're grounded in practicality, competence, and know-how, and so not high-strung, but you'll likely feel you're being tested in life at some points.

THIRTY-THREE (33/6): Expect to benefit from long years of responsibility and service. Your life will likely move to one of affection, joy, and love as your get older. Expect to serve humankind through your highly developed skills of sympathetic understanding and problem solving. Your true self lives from the heart and knows no limits when caring for others. Coupling your nurturing of those around you with your overflowing creativity allows you to be a source of extraordinary healing. You'll face many tests and obstacles unique to the numbers 3 and 6, yet you'll meet the challenge each time. Like other Master Numbers, you'll be drawn to higher principles, spiritual understanding, and universal consciousness.

Chapter Twelve: Core Companions: Bridge Numbers

Bridge Numbers indicate the methods by which you can increase the compatibility and integration of your individual core numbers. These numbers serve to bridge the gap between the Life Path and Expression/Destiny number, as well as the Heart's Desire/Soul Urge and Personality number.

Life Path/Expression (Destiny) Bridge
The Life Path/Expression Bridge Number details how you can make your talents, strengths, and specific abilities (Expression number) more easily applicable and fitting the needs of your main lesson(s) and expected avenue of growth (Life Path).

Heart's Desire(Soul Urge)/Personality Bridge
The Heart's Desire/Personality Bridge number explains how you can make your deeper self - your needs and desires, your true nature - more aligned with the part of your personality others tend to recognize when they meet you. With a little exaggeration, you could say that your Personality number is somewhat like your mask. It is the more superficial you; a protective shield and a camouflage of the deeper you. You can easily imagine how much more comfortable, and less self-conscious, you will be when your deeper and more real you is closer and more fitting to the outer personality you show on a day to day basis.

NOTE: The number zero has different interpretations depending on which bridge number you are assessing. All other numbers 1-8 share the same interpretation but should be applied to the corresponding core numbers appropriately.

ZERO LP/Exp Number(0): Your Life Path and Expression numbers are the same digits, a fortunate opportunity to gain ground in the areas of life expressed by the repeated number. However, if your Heart's Desire and/or your Personality number are also identical to your Life Path number and your Expression number, you may be somewhat disproportionate and skewed. The characteristics of this repeated number may be excessively pronounced in you. Read your Life Path again, and ask yourself if you have not focused too much on the aspects described, at the cost of a more balanced approach.

ZERO HD/Pers Number(0): The single digit values of your Heart's Desire number and your Personality number are the same. With you, what you see is what you get. You easily make people feel comfortable around you. However, if your Life Path number or your Expression number are also identical to your Heart's Desire number and your Personality number, your chart may be somewhat off balance.

ONE (1): You are advised to depend on yourself more - use your own strengths and abilities to make decisions. Be barefaced and candid when expressing your thoughts and feelings. Take hold of the reigns and be the leader more often. Kick convention out the window, get off the beaten path and find original ways of doing things. And while you're at it, don't force yourself to fit the expectations of others - kick those out the window too.

TWO (2): You are advised to hone your skills of receptiveness, increasing your ability to sense the needs and expectations of others and responding to them with cooperativity and understanding. Attempt to make things run smoothly by keeping the peace and remaining rock-steady. Use your diplomatic ways to avoid confrontation while influencing those around you.

THREE (3): You are advised to have some fun! Don't let yourself get wound too tight or extended too far. Direct some of your generosity toward yourself and release your inhibitions by expressing creativity in performance art or writing. And while you're developing faith in yourself, let go of your fear of judgment and communicate your deeper feelings to those close to you.

FOUR (4): You are advised to stop being a procrastinator! Focus your energy by using a methodical and practical approach to your life's endeavors in order to avoid chaos. Get back to basics, work on simple things like punctuality and reliability, and get to know your true self through physical and outdoor activities.

FIVE (5): Only the combinations 6 and 1, 7 and 2, 8 and 3, and 9 and 4 can cause this Bridge number to appear in your chart. All fives are required to be more flexible and adaptable, adventurous and unconventional. However, the combinations indicate rather different requirements, and are therefore listed separately.

Check your Life Path and Expression numbers to see which one of these combinations applies:

Combination of 6 and 1:
You are advised to reconcile your tendency to orient yourself on the extremes of selfish behavior and self-sacrifice, serious dutifulness and neglect of your responsibilities. Strive to be more independent, preventing yourself from resorting to a codependent existence.
Combination of 7 and 2:
You are advised to reconcile your inner conflict between your need of love and attention and your desire for privacy. While this conflict makes you somewhat disharmonius, you are also potentially gifted, a result of the combination of analytical power (7) and intuition (2). Learn to not take criticism too personally, while disregarding your tendency for self-pity.
Combination of 8 and 3:
You are advised to use your playful, outgoing creativity in a business- and goal-oriented manner. Do not suppress your creativity in order to further your career or business. You will actually be more successful if you can balance and incorporate the two.
Combination of 9 and 4:
You are advised to get a good grasp of the "big picture," becoming more aware of world issues, like humanitarian, political, and environmental matters, instead of focusing on petty details of trivial occurrences. Increase your tolerance and flexibility, and stop clinging to rigid dogmas and ideals or you'll never follow your dreams. Likewise, you'll never reach them if you allow your tendency to waste time and potential hold you back.

SIX (6): Only the combinations 7 and 1, 8 and 2, or 9 and 3 can cause this Bridge number to appear in your chart. All sixes must bridge the gap between their numbers through service and responsibility to others, giving of yourself to your family, friends, and community. In these endeavors, allow your creativity to flow more freely and you will find them more rewarding.

Check your Life Path and Expression numbers to see which one of these combinations applies:

Combination of 7 and 1:
You are advised to follow the above recommendations, despite your generally harmonious nature. This combination often creates eccentrics - people who are highly inventive and unconventional.
Combination of 8 and 2:
You are advised to accentuate the positives of this combination, while eliminating the negatives. So what is the positive? Your innate ability to step into a leadership position ready to diplomatically negotiate any dispute. The negative? Your tendency to be a bit critical and over-sensitive, coupled with your inconsistency in financial matters results in broken relationships -friendly, romantic, and business.
Combination of 8 and 3:
You are advised to apply your artistic creative talents to the fullest extent. Do not suppress them, or you will miss out on a true gift to inspire and motivate large groups of people.

SEVEN (7): Coming from either 8 and 1, or 9 and 2, this number urges you to spend more time and effort on spiritual matters.

Check your Life Path and Expression numbers to see which one of these combinations applies:

Combination of 8 and 1:
You are advised to diminish your focus on and attachment to the material world - money, status, goods, or you will forever be vulnerable to the temptations of material matters.
Combination of 9 and 2:
You are advised to become more humble and not allowing yourself to think that you are a saint simply because you spend a great deal time and effort on the well-being of mankind. If you allow yourself to be righteous, your mind will be clouded by prejudice, arrogance, and indifferance - all of which will pose an obstacle in what you are trying to accomplish.

EIGHT (8): You are advised to learn early the function of money - it is nothing more or less than a tool for trading. Do not allow yourself to become obsessed with personal success and wealth, but on the other hand, don't allow your idealistic notions to cloud your practicality and cause you to disregard and dislike money. This combination is often successful at finding a middle ground between these two extremes, becoming a very ambitious humanitarian who has the potential to do very well in the corporate world, or any career that offers international connections and activities.

Chapter Thirteen: Karma

Karma - the belief that one reaps what one sows; the universal law of cause and effect in which thoughts or actions of the past show up in the present and require retribution.
__________________________

Karmic Lessons
Karmic Lessons are numbers and vibrations missing from your birth name which serve as an indication of an energy that you must learn in the present and future because you haven't experienced or addressed them in the past. The experience of the missing number will appear in your life continually until you ultimately master that number's energy.

Finding Your Karmic Lessons: Using the full name listed on your birth certificate, lay out your name and assign the appropriate number to each letter using the chart given in Chapter Two of this text. Determine which single digit numbers are missing - these are your Karmic Lessons.
__________________________

Karmic Debts[/b][/u]
Karmic Debts are a type of debt people accumulate, related to abuse and selfishness in love, power, work, or freedom in the past, and signal a total disregard for others, for consequences, or moral concern. The idea is that your present and future provide you the opportunity to atone and correct your wrongs.

Finding Your Karmic Debts: Karmic Debt Numbers show up as your Birthday Number, your Maturity number, or one of your four Core Numbers. Check to see if any Karmic Debt Numbers (13, 14, 16, or 19) were present in these numbers before you reduced them to a 4, 5, 7, or 1.

Karmic Debt Numbers
The Karmic Debt Numbers are defined as such: The number 1 in each number signifies selfish abuse of the number that follows. The number following the 1 signifies the arena in which the debt was created:

The Number 3 in 13: creative energy and joyfulness turn into frivolity, superficiality, and using words to hurt others.
The Number 4 in 14: discipline, hard work, stability, and accountability turn into rebelliousness, irresponsibility, and indulgence in an effort to escape what's required.
The Number 6 in 16: love, commitment, and responsibility have been abandoned.
The Number 9 in 19: wisdom, spiritual knowledge, and power have been used for personal gain.

TEN (10): The Wheel of Fortune[/b][/u]
This number has a different kind of karma than the rest - good karma! The number 10 means karmic completion and is the number of rebirth. This number suggests that a karmic debt has been paid and now the person is free to begin again. Also, the 10 indicates that you've been called to use courage, independence, and leadership to bring about the destined rebirth.

THIRTEEN (13/4): All Work and No Play[/b][/u]
The purpose and goal of this vibration is to become conscious of how you express yourself without being critical and to develop discipline. Learn how to be honest without being abusive or hurtful. Learn how to be disciplined in practical matters, such as your health and finances. The 13 indicates that you are developing a conscience and beginning to see that all things are linked. With a 13/4 in your Core Numbers or as your Birthday Number, you'll have obstacles that have to be overcome again and again until the lesson is finally learned and the debt completed.

FOURTEEN (14/5): The Temptations[/b][/u]
You have previously abused freedom; now you need to relearn the value of freedom and the discipline required to earn this freedom. Previously, you have found freedom for yourself at the expense of others and that is where the debt comes from - irresponsibility and lack of accountability in the past. The 14/5 is the number of the rebellious free spirit who refuses to acknowledge limits to his/her desire for adventure, risk, and escape. With a 14/5 in your Core Numbers, you'll tend to exhibit the negative traits of the number 5 - jumping from relationship to relationship or job to job - with no sense of accomplishment or goal in mind and pleasing yourself through material sensations like food, sugar, clothes, or anything else that strikes your desire.

SIXTEEN (16/7): The Abuse of Love[/b][/u]
This number indicates a failure in the past to act responsibly in matters of love or commitment. As with all Karmic Debt Numbers, the 1 in this number indicates self-centeredness. The 6 suggests lack of responsibility and distortion of loving feelings. Past abuse may have originated from a lack of integrity with regard to the feelings of others. Until you learn to act otherwise, you will express all the negativity of the 7, which includes indifference, analytical aloofness, withdrawal, difficult to approach, and intellectualizing emotions. The goal of the 16/7 is to link the personal spirit with the universal spirit, thereby destroying one's old ways and rebirthing with new. Life will present you with challenges that will humble you and it is exactly this humility that is the key to your future success. If the 16/7 is in your Core Numbers, your life will be a series of events that bring you to the bottom, only to rise up again, to fall again, and so forth. The pattern will not end until you fully understand that you must honor the spiritual, higher nature of all things and that you must rebuild your life on those principles.

NINETEEN (19/1): The Abuse of Power[/b][/u]
This number indicates past abuses of acting in a completely self-absorbed manner, blind to everything except self-fulfillment of one's own desires. The 1 of this number indicates the 19/1 person will often exhibit the negative traits of this number until the lessons have been learned, including selfishness, dependence, intimidation, failing to stand up for oneself, egotism, laziness, and aggression.
