Numerology: Number Personalities in Numerology
By Spiritwyse



The numbers 1 through 9 represent the full scope of human characteristics. They are the nine archetypes that, combined in an endless variety, form the basis of each individual's unique personality in much the same way that just three primal colors form the basis of millions of colors found in this universe.

The Master Numbers



These two double-digit numbers (11 and 22), while rooted in the single-digit numbers, require special emphasis and attention. They are called Master Numbers because they possess more potential than other numbers. They are highly charged and 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 catalysts 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 truth. For the 11, such peace is not found so much in logic as 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, 22's 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. 22's must work toward the realization of goals that are larger than personal ambition. The 22 serves the world in a practical way.
