The Master Numbers
There are two double-digit numbers that, while
they are rooted in the single-digit numbers, require special emphasis
and attention. These are 11 and 22. They are called Master numbers
because they possess more potential than other numbers. They are highly
charged, difficult to handle, and require time, maturity, and great
effort to integrate into one's personality.
The 11 is the most intuitive of all
numbers. It represents illumination; a channel to the subconscious;
insight without rational thought;
and sensitivity, nervous energy, shyness, and impracticality. It
is a dreamer. The 11 has all the aspects of the 2, enhanced and charged
with charisma, leadership, and inspiration. It is a number with inborn
duality, which creates dynamism, inner conflict, and other catalyses
with its mere presence. It is a number that, when not focused on some
goal beyond itself, can be turned inward to create fears and phobias.
The 11 walks the edge between greatness and self -destruction. Its
potential for growth, stability, and personal power lies in its acceptance
of intuitive understanding, and of spiritual truths. For the 11,
such peace is not found so much in logic, but in faith. It is the
psychic's number.
The 22 is the most powerful of all
numbers. It is often called the Master Builder. The 22 can turn the
most ambitious of dreams into
reality. It is potentially the most successful of all numbers. It
has many of the inspirational
and intuitive insights of the 11, combined with the practicality
and methodical nature of the 4. It is unlimited, yet disciplined.
It sees the archetype, and brings it down to earth in some material
form. It has big ideas, great plans, idealism, leadership, and enormous
self-confidence. If not practical, 22s waste their potential. Like
the 11, the 22 can easily shrink from its own ambition, causing difficult
interior pressures. Both the 11 and the 22 experience the pressure-cooker
effect very strongly, particularly at an early age. It must work
toward the realization of goals that are larger than personal ambition.
The 22 serves the world in a practical way.
The Karmic Debt Numbers
Numerology is based on the ancient idea that
each of us is a spiritual being, or a soul, who incarnates on the earth
many times in order to further evolve toward higher states of awareness.
During our long evolutionary path
of many incarnations, we have accumulated a wealth of wisdom, and
have made many good choices that
benefit us in future lifetimes. We have also made mistakes, and have
sometimes abused the gifts we have been given.To rectify such errors,
we may take on an additional burden in order to learn a particular
lesson that we failed to learn in previous lifetime. In numerology,
this burden is called a Karmic Debt.
The numbers that indicate a Karmic Debt are 13, 14, 16, and 19.
These double-digit numbers take on great significance when they are
found in the core numbers (the most important numbers including Life
Path, Expression, Heart's Desire, Personality, and Birth Day), and
in the various cycles during the course of your lifetime. Each has
its own unique characteristics, and its own particular difficulties.
When you are calculating your chart-especially
your core numbers and different cycles-you may encounter the numbers
1, 4, 5, or 7.These single-digit numbers can be arrived at by adding
a variety of two-digit numbers. The
number 1 can be arrived at,
For example,
by combining the double-digit
numbers of 10 (1 + 0 = 1), 19 (1+ 9 = 10, 1+ 0 = 1), 28, 37, 46-all
of which total to 10, and then to 1. However, only in the case of
19 is a Karmic Debt indicated. Karmic Debts are also associated with
the numbers 4, 5, and 7.These numbers can be preceded by an array
of two-digit numbers, but when the 4 is preceded by a 13; or when
the 5 is preceded by a 14; or the 7 by a 16; a Karmic Debt is also
read as part of the single-digit interpretation.
A Karmic Debt can be found in different places in the chart, as
a result of totals based on your date of birth, for instance, or
calculations based on the letters of your name. This means that two
people with a 16 Karmic Debt that is located in different places
in the chart, express it very differently. Thus, all I can do here
is layout the general characteristics of the Karmic Debt, and some
broad guidelines for dealing with it. |
