Lesson Five

Numerology Lesson Five - The Birth Day

In Numerology Lesson Four we discussed the Life Path and the knowledge found within it. You learned how to find your individual Life Path vibration by adding up the numbers in your full birth date. In this lesson we will examine the individual Birth Day (just the day and not the month or year of your birth) in further detail and discuss the information found within it.

Different Numerologists agree that the actual day of birth is a significant piece within the whole picture. They also agree that the day of birth sheds light on important lessons to be learned. By calculating the day of birth, you will be able to more clearly understand the nature of these lessons and how they relate to the abilities you brought into this life. As you have learned in this course, these energies can be expressed in balanced, over-balanced, or under-balanced ways.

Over the years, we have found that the Birth Day identifies a person's first recognized talents along with how the person may perceive herself or himself. It often reveals abilities they are comfortable with. Close friends will usually identify with the characteristics of the Birth Day more than the major theme within the Life Path. As mentioned in earlier lessons, we like to think of the individual Birth Day as the added spice one would put into a dish to bring out all its flavors!

In all cases, the best way you tap into the knowledge found within a given numeric vibration is by reading its combined expression as well as the individual numbers of which it is made.

For this lesson, we are going to use the birth date of 11-26-l953 as our example:

2 + 6 = 8

Emphasis is on the 8

2 = sub-influence

6 = sub-influence

By understanding the energy behind each vibration we gain a richer meaning. In the example above, the person would rely on 8 types of characteristics and abilities within their nature (please refer to Lesson One). This would lead them to use judgment and discernment in approaching most tasks. They would enjoy applying themselves and finding work that utilizes the other abilities found within their core. They would apply themselves in productive ways by contributing, organizing, and administering. With the 8 they would also be inclined to be in a management position or possibly be inclined to start their own business. Material gain would be important to them but in ways that would support and blend with their other vibrations.

The sub-influence of the 2 would add friendliness and balance to what they do. They would enjoy connection with others and feel a desire to maintain harmony. The 2 would also add sensitivity.

As we move to the sub-influence within the 6 we would find an ability to be of service and an attraction to areas in which they could apply themselves. This person would feel good about contributing to the well-being of others. The 6 is also a humanitarian vibration so it would draw out abilities which could be applied in areas of healing, family, art, animals, nature, etc. Responsibilities would hold their attention.

Now let's go back and synthesize what we have just learned with their 1 Life Path vibration. We have a greater sense of how this person will direct their 1 leadership qualities. We can see how their independence and individuality is flavored with these innate abilities. The 1 Life Path may soften a little bit by the influence of the 2 as well as the consideration within the 6. The 8 would strengthen the 1's sense of direction with judgment and discernment guiding it.
