Numerology is the study of numbers as meaningful constructs related to human consciousness. Numbers shape our lives in many ways, starting with number values associated with the letters of words, especially our names.
We have the numbers of our birthday, month and year. Most countries have a number range for citizens (in the United States this is the 9-digit Social Security Number or SSN). Most of us have a telephone number; When we drive a car, we have a license plate. Every word and every set of numbers can be traced back to a number between 1 and 9, and each of those numbers has a spiritual meaning.
This article looks at the compatibility number between a parent and a child.
The numbers to consider
The two most important numbers for all of us are the last number of our name and the last number of our date of birth. In my case my full name is Philip Franklin Young which is a total of 111 which is a 3. My date of birth is 12-04-1968 which is a total of 31 which is a 4. In my daughter’s case , her full name is Maya Athena Young, which is a total of 63, which is a 9. Her birthday is 1/30/2005, which is an 11, which is a 2.
It turns out that there are three different systems for calculating the name. The most common system, and the one I have used, is the Pythagorean system. But there are also the Chaldean and the Gematria systems. In the Chaldean system I still end on a 3, but the total is 75, which goes back to 12, which goes back to 3. In Gematria the total comes to 66, which goes back to a 12, and another 3!
However, when you search my daughter’s name, you get 50 in the Chaldean system, and therefore a 5. And you get 44 in the Gematria system, and therefore an 8. Regardless of which system you select, the final numerical meanings are interpreted consistently. .
Interpreting the numbers
Below is a short, quick interpretation for each song
1 = focus on yourself, act now
2 = partnership, seek help
3 = work on it, there are no shortcuts
4 = patience, caution, wait
5 = shake things up, catalyze the situation
6 = offer help, provide service
7 = solve the mystery, discover the goal
8 = take charge, lead
9 = surrender, withdraw and reflect
Number compatibility
In Pythagorean numerology, I am a 3 and 4, while my daughter is a 9 and 11(2). Master numbers such as 11, 22, 33 and 44 have special meanings, but can also be reduced in size. In our particular case, I have a song design that focuses heavily on hard work and patience, while my daughter can be more reflective and concerned with giving help to and receiving help from others.
We fit together very well as parent and child, as I tend to be very attuned to the work that needs to be done as a parent, especially to lay a good foundation for my child. And she turns out to be quite introverted and good at one-on-one engagement. In terms of numbers we have a good mix.
