HOW TO USE NUM EROLOGY

N u m e r o l o g y is the science o f numbers.

It is a
very old science, dating back to the early days o f
the Egyptians, if not to a time even before then.
F o r reasons unknow n, the science became fo r­
gotten during several centuries and it is only
recently that its philosophy has been revived in
the popular mind.
D u rin g all those dorm ant years, people cer­
tainly knew that numbers had a force o f their
own, fo r they spoke o f the luck brought by
three, the ill-fortune o f thirteen and that seven
gave some indication that a thing was perfect.
There were many other notions about numbers,
but the know ledge was unconnected or dis­
jointed, and no real use could be made o f it.
Thanks to the w ork o f classical and other
students, the science has been brought out o f its
9
io The Power o f Num bers

o blivion and w e are n ow able to apply all that it

teaches to the requirem ents o f m odern life.
Briefly, the science o f n um erology claims that
everybody is controlled by his or her ow n
particular num ber and, by using that num ber, he
or she may derive incalculable benefits. M o re ­
over, num erology show s that m ost things in this
w orld have their o w n special num ber, too.
Thus, it is possible to find the relationship
between people and things and, havin g found
the relationship, to determine w hether they are
harmonious or antagonistic. A n d , o f course,
when this has been done, an individual w ill
know exactly h o w to proceed under varyin g
circumstances.
•This last paragraph m ay not be as clear to the
casual reader as w e w ou ld w ish, so in order to
make it perfectly simple, it w ill be useful to take
an example or tw o . First, let us suppose that on
a certain day you have an im portant engagem ent
— it may be that yo u are to be interview ed fo r a
post or even that you are planning to be married
on that day. It, o f course, may be any event that
is o f great im portance to you. By means o f
num erology, you w ill start by finding the num ­
ber o f that particular day and, then, fo llo w that
up by w orkin g out, if you have not already done
so, your ow n special number.
If the tw o numbers happen to be the same,
there is every reason to suppose that what takes:
 How to Use Numero/ogy n
place w ill be for yo u r g o o d ; but i f the numbers
are different, you w ill have to consider them
carefully.
It must not be concluded from this that the
chances fo r g o o d fortune are m uch few er than
they are fo r ill fortune. Y o u m ay argue that only
one num ber can be the same as y o u r o w n per­
sonal num ber, w hile several can be different.
N u m ero lo gy is not as sim ple as that. N o t only
are certain numbers g o o d , as far as you are
concerned, but others are perhaps beneficial,
som e are adverse and others are m erely un­
satisfactory. T h u s, there are several classes o f
numbers and all have to be considered.
Before w e deal w ith the g o o d and the other
classes, it w ill be necessary to explain that
n um erology only recognises the num bers one
to nine, calling them prim ary num bers and
regarding all others as bein g com pound m-
bers, w hich can be reduced to prim ary numbers.
T hus :
(a) i , 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 are prim ary
numbers.
(b) 10 is a com poun d num ber and can be
turned into a prim ary num ber by adding up the
figures w h ich g o to form it. T hus 1 -f- o = 1.
T herefore, n um erology regards the num ber xo
exactly as if it w ere 1.
(c) Sim ilarly 11 is a com pound number. By
adding togeth er the figures, you have 2.
12 The Power o f Numbers

(d) T o take another num ber at random , say

56, w e have 5 + 6 = 11. B ut as 11 is, itself, a
com pound num ber, it is necessary to continue
the addition and 1 + 1 gives 2. T h u s, the
signification in n um erology attached to 56 is z.
(?) In the same w ay 3998 adds up to 29, but
2 + 9 is 1 1 ; and 1 - f 1 is z. F ro m this it is
clear that any num ber can be resolved in to one
o f the nine primaries.
N o w , as regards the classification o f g o o d and
bad numbers :
(a) A num ber that is the same as yo u r ow n
personal num ber w ill w o rk fo r y o u r go o d .
Thus, suppose yo u r o w n num ber is 4 and the
num ber attached to a date in w h ich you are
interested is also 4 ; then you m ay expect w hat­
ever happens on that date to materialise bene­
ficially towards you. Just h o w yo u arrive at
your o w n num ber and the date n um ber w ill be
explained later on.
(1b) A num ber that vibrates to yo u r o w n num ­
ber is, also, advantageous to you. Before you
can determine exactly the extent o f the advan­
tage, it is necessary to examine the circum ­
stances w hich provide the vibratin g num ber.
This matter is, also, dealt w ith fully later on, but
here it w ill be explained that the num ber w hich
vibrates to your ow n is the figure that has to be
added to yo u r personal num ber to g iv e a total
o f 10.
 How to Use Numerology 13

Thus :
vibrating to 1 is 9
„ 2 is 8
» 3 is 7
»> 4 is 6
» 5 is 5
» 6 is 4
»> 7 is 3
» 8 is 2
» 9 is 1
{c) In addition, there are what is know n as
attraction numbers. These show some ten­
dency to be helpful, but how much they will
help depends on circumstances.
1 possesses an attraction fo r 4 and 8
2 7 and 9
3 j, 6 and 9
4 1 and 8
j and 6 3 and 9
7 2 and 6
1 and 4
2, 3 and 6
(d) Lastly, there are numbers that arc abso-
utely hostile. Thus :
1 disagrees with 6 and 7
2 » » J
3 „ „ 4 and 8
4 » 3 and 5
f4 The Power o f Numbers

5 disagrees with 2 and 4

6 „ „ 1 and 8
7 „ 1 and 9
8 „ 3 and 6
9 » >j 7
Thus, there are four classes o f numbers that
you have to compare w ith your ow n, in order to
com e to a conclusion as to w hether a certain
event or thing will be beneficial to you, or not.
There is (a) the similar number, (b) the vibrating
number, (c) the attraction num ber and (d) the
disagreement number.
In order to make all this a little m ore explicit,
w e w ill suppose that yo u r personal num ber is 3
and that you are anxious to kn o w w hether a
certain day w ill be a fortunate one fo r you. T his
is how you w ill proceed to find out.
(a) When the numerology number o f the day is x.
O ne is not the same as your personal num ber ;
it is not given as a vibratin g num ber fo r 3, nor
is it one o f the attraction or disagreement num ­
bers fo r 3. T hus, yo u may conclude that there
is no particular g o o d lu ck or bad luck in the
date for you.
(b) When the numerology number o f the day is 2.
Exactly the same conditions apply as in (a)
above.
(c) When the numerology number o f the day is 3.
 How to Use Numerology 15
A s this num ber is the same as yo u r ow n p er­
sonal num ber, yo u m ay lo o k fo rw ard to the best
o f chances.
(d) When the numerology number o f the day is 4.
F o u r disagrees w ith 3, therefore you will pre­
pare fo r nothing in the w ay o f g o o d fortune.
(e) When the numerology number o f the day is 5.
F iv e is one o f the attraction num bers fo r 3 and
y o u w ill kn o w that forces are at w o rk to help
you.
(£) When the numerology number o f the day is 6.
T h e same as (e) above.
(g) When the numerology number o f the day is 7.
Seven is the vib ratin g num ber o f 3 and you
m ay expect to have assistance in procuring w hat
you require.
(h) When the numerology number o f the day is 8.
T h is w ill be the same as explained fo r (d)
above.
(i) When the numerology number o f the day is 9.
T h is w ill be the same as explained fo r (e)
above.
A ll this, o f course, is h ow a person w hose
num ber is 3 should reason. T h e same process
will naturally be em ployed for any other num ber,
but obvio u sly the results w ill be different.
 C h a p t e r XI

YOUR PERSO N AL NUM BER

A s was explained in the previous chapter,

everybody has his or her ow n personal num ber
and, no doubt, you are anxious to .find o u t w hat
yours happens to be. There is really nothing
difficult in translating a name into its num ber,
once the process is know n. It depends on the
fact that every letter o f the alphabet is assigned
a numeral value. Here are the values :
A 1 F 6 L 3 Q 8 W j
B 2 G7 M 4 R 9 X 6
C 3 H 8 N j S 1 Y 7
D 4 I 9 O 6 T 2 Z 8
E J J 1 P 7 U 3 PH 6
K 2 V 4
om the above, it will be seen that,
reasons already stated, n o letter has a higher
value than 9. It w ill, also, be noted that P H is
represented by 6. This is the only case w here
tw o letters have a combined and not a separate
value. It is easy to see that the reason fo r this
depends on an adherence to the G reek alphabet
w hich had an individual letter for this sound.
l6
 Your Personal Number i/
T o sh o w h o w y o u can use the a b o v e table for
finding o ut y o u r num ber o r that o f a n ybo d y else,
w e w ill take an exam ple. Suppose you want to
kn ow the num ber that stands fo r Patricia. First,
set d o w n the name thus :
P A T R I C I A
T hen, b e lo w each letter, w rite its num erical
value by referring to the table, thus :
P A T R IC IA
71 2 9 9 3 9 1
M any people then add up the figures and
resolve the answ er into a prim ary num ber, if the
addition, as in this case, happens to g iv e a co m ­
pound num ber. T h is m ethod w o u ld provide
some sort o f answ er, but a m ore accurate plan,
and the one w e advise, is to resolve the figuring
into the fo rm o f an inverted pyram id. T h is
shape has, o f course, a m ysterious influence
which even the E gyp tian s appreciated but did not
understand w hen they built the fam ous Pyram ids.
T his pyram id num bering w o rk s out in the
present instance, as fo llo w s :
P A T R IC IA
71299392
8329331
2 1 2 i<>a
'/ ? ) v 1
535 i
8 8 6
7 5

18 The Tower o f Numbers

T hus, Patricia’s num ber is 3. N o w fo r the

explanation as to h o w the pyram id was w orked.
T h e first line o f figures was obtained, as already
explained, by using the alphabet table. T h e
second line was produced by tak in g the top line
and adding the figures togeth er in pairs. T hus,
the 7 and 1 in the top line g a v e the 8 in the
second line ; the 1 and 2 in the top line g a v e the
3 in the second ; and so on, rem em bering, o f
course, to resolve com poun d answers into
primary figures, w h en ever necessary. T h u s, the
2 and 9 in the top line gives 11 , w h ich resolves
itself into 2, and becom es the third figure o f the
second line.
W hen the second line has been com pleted, a
third line is w orked in the same w ay, and this is
fo llo w ed by subsequent lines until, at last, one
figure only is reached. O f course, the num ber o f
lines needed to resolve a name into a figure
depends on the num ber o f letters in the name.
A name such as A d a can be resolved in far few er
lines, as the fo llo w in g show s :
ADA
1 4 1
5 5
1
T h o u g h Patricia is represented b y 3 and A d a
by 1, the figu rin g m ust not be left at that.
Patricia and A d a have other names as w ell and
they should be all taken into account. A d a ’s
 Your Persona/ Number 19

full name may be A da M ary Smith. In that case

the three names, A da, M ary and Sm ith must all
be resolved separately by means o f three pyra­
mids into their ow n num bers. T hen, w hen that
has been done, the three numbers have to be
added togeth er and, if necessary, resolved into a
prim ary num ber. T h at prim ary num ber w ill be
Ada M ary Sm ith’s persona] num ber, w hich she
should refer to w hen ever she wishes to m ake use
o f the benefits o f n um erology.
Here is the full solution for this particular
name :
M ARY SM ITH
4 1 9 7 14928
5 *7 5421
6 8 963
69
6
G atherin g up the three separate figures, 1,
5 and 6, w e have a total o f .12, w hich gives 3 as
its primary number.
[N o t e .— T owards the end o f the book a

 C h a pt e r III

NUM BER ONE

N o w that yo u kn o w y o u r ow n personal num ber,

or have the means o f finding it, yo u w ill be
interested to learn fo r w h at it stands. In this and
the eight fo llo w in g chapters, the interpretations
o f the nine prim ary num bers are set out.
N um ber O ne is sym bolised b y the Sun and the
D eity, and is regarded as the stron gest and m ost
p ow erful n um ber o f all. It stands fo r force,
boldness and activity, as w ell as fo r pow ers o f
organising and executive ability.
From this, it is clear that people w h o are
favoured w ith the personal num ber o f one have
the initial force to make their m ark in the w orld .
T h ey have the strength o f bo d y and o f m ind to
g o ahead and reach the g o a l they have in v ie w ,
as lo n g as the w ay is straight and there are
no side-issues to draw them from the main
purpose.
T h ey are headstrong people and always do
their best w hen left to their ow n devices. T h u s,
the parents o f such individuals m ust refrain from
curbing the legitim ate enthusiasm o f their sons
20
 Number One 21
and daughters w h o have one as their number. If
they do set a brake on their actions, the results
m ay be disastrous. T h e sons or daughters w ill
probably curl up w ith in their shell and g iv e no
further signs o f brilliant activity.
M any people, w ith one as their num ber, have
all the strength and ability that is usually accre­
dited to the num ber, yet they fail to clim b the
ladder o f success. T o their friends, this is a
matter o f m uch surprise, because the abilities o f
such people are m anifestly present. T his is a
frequent sign o f N u m b er O ne and is due to the
fact that those w h o com e w ithin its influence
m ust find the w o rk fo r w hich they are specially
fitted, if they are to m ake a success o f their lives.
T h e y are not p eople to effect a com prom ise and
do the best under the circumstances. T h e y are
all-or-nothing people.
T h o u g h N um ber O ne confers great o p p o r­
tunities on those w h o can claim it as their ow n,
it m ust not be supposed that it has no draw backs.
Associated w ith it are the defects o f lim ited
vision , petulance, selfishness, officiousness and a
tendency to be unsym pathetic regarding the
view s o f others.
A cco rd in gly, w e are apt to find that those w ho
advance high up the ladder o f fame are likely to
be harsh w ith those beneath them and, m ore­
over, they are easily irritated by people w h o have
not the initial advantages that they possess.
22 The Power o f Numbers

T here is a very o bvious streak o f selfishness in

those w h o can claim one as their num ber. It
show s itself in petty w ays, quite u n w o rth y o f
those w ho betray them. In fact, to the on looker,
it is rather surprising and difficult to understand.
A n o th er failing associated w ith “ num ber
one ” people is the w ay they express their view s.
T h ey hold that w hat they say is law and everyone
w ho differs from them m ust be w ron g.
R egarding lo ve matters and all that is con ­
nected w ith this side o f human nature, “ num ber
one ” people are usually very attractive. T h ey
have the ability to display their charms to advan­
tage and the force o f character needed for
gain in g their ends. B ut they w an t to rule in
partnership and, in cases where things d o not
w o rk out exactly as they w ish, they are bad
losers.
W e have n o w stated the characteristics o f a
“ num ber one ” person ; but it does not fo llo w
that, if this is yo u r personal num ber, yo u are
bound to be as we have described. A ll the
qualities m entioned here will form part o f your
“ m ake-up,” but some o f them yo u m ay push
into the backgroun d and they w ill not appear.
Y ou may even repudiate that yo u ever had them.
N o n e the less, they exist, either in evidence or in
a dorm ant condition ; and it depends entirely
on you w hich o f them yo u w ill brin g to the fore
and which you w ill suppress.
 C h a p t e r IV

NUM BER TW O

N u m b e r T w o has the M oon fo r its sym bol. It

stands for peace rather than force ; fo r the heart
m ore than the mind. It betokens quiet, calm, a
restful influence and it radiates charm , affection
and honesty.
People w h o can claim this num ber as their
o w n have m uch about them that is adm irable.
T h e y w ill n ot soar to the heights attained by
N um ber O ne, but they w ill play a ve ry useful
part in the w orld , nevertheless. T h eir mission
is to strive alon g peaceful lines, to help their
neighbours rather than to help them selves.
T hus, others often gain where they should reap
the benefits.
It must not be th o u gh t that the qualities o f
“ num ber tw o ” people w ill pass unrecognised.
Q uite the contrary. Friends and others w ill come
to them for advice and guidance, and, w hen they
have obtained it, they w ill g o aw ay and use it to
advantage. But the “ num ber tw o ” people lack
some special quality w hich precludes them from
using, to the same extent, their ow n ideas and
 24 The Power o f Numbers

suggestions. Thus, they suffer from reticence

and, often, from a mild form o f inferiority
complex.
Those w ho can claim two as their ow n num­
ber are remarkably unselfish. T hey w ill never
begrudge the time spent on helping others, and
they have unbounded sympathy for those w hose
lot is less favourable than their own. A s an out­
come o f this trait, the adult N um ber T w o is
usually fond o f children. T he parent w ill slave
for his youngsters and g o w ithout, cheerfully, in
order that they may not want.
Thus, “ num ber tw o ” people are go o d hom e­
makers. T o them, the home is the centre o f their
ow n little universe and they are never so happy
as when they are reading a bo o k by the fireside
or helping the kiddies w ith their toys. T h e y do
not w ant to gad a b o u t ; they have no need for
clubs and bridge parties ; they are happier when
indulging in simple delights than w hen im bibing
the champagne o f life.
“ N um ber tw o ” people have one outstanding
quality w hich must not be overlooked. T h e y are
ideal peacemakers. It w ill fall to their lot, tim e
and again, to bring those w ho have grievances
to a more rational frame o f mind.
So far, we have been considering the favour­
able side o f the picture supplied by those whose
persona] number is two. There is, nevertheless,
the other point o f view . These people have one
 Number Two 25
glarin g fault, w hich is indolence. It is easy to see
w hy they suffer from this defect. T h ey are peace­
ful souls ; they lo ve calm and q u ie t ; they hate
hurry and bustle ; therefore w h at could be more
in harm ony w ith these characteristics than a
tendency to let matters slide ? I f it requires a
display o f energy to do anything to-day, the
probability is that it w ill be left till to ­
m o rro w , and as w e all kn o w , to -m o rrow never
com es.
T o marry anyone w ith two as his o r her num ber
w ou ld be to g o th rou gh life w ith a very lovable
partner. T here w o u ld be no “ calling o ve r the
coals ” w hen thin gs w ent w r o n g ; no cases o f
“ flaring-up ” w hen faults came to l i g h t ; life
w o u ld unfold itself placidly. A ll this, o f course,
makes for peace and harm ony ; but it is d oubtful
w hether m any p eop le w ou ld not prefer a partner
w h o displayed m ore fire and a m ore pugnacious
temperament. It depends entirely on the indi­
vidual.
T h e traits w e have m entioned here are those
that w ill influence all people w ith two as their
personal num ber. E n viron m ent can play its
part, and to an extent w ill possibly d o so, in
effacing some o f the characteristics and bringing
others to the fore. T h at explains w hy everybo d y
h avin g two as his o r her num ber is not alike as
tw o peas.
 C hapter V

NUM BER TH REE

T h i s num ber has M ars fo r its sym bol. It is

considered to be a jo y -g iv in g numeral w hen used
advantageously, and a w arring figure w hen the
reverse is the case. A t best, it is typical o f happi­
ness, merrim ent, g o o d cheer, pleasure, inspira­
tion, even ecstasy. A t w orst, it spells quarrels,
violence, anguish.
From this, it w ill be seen that people w h o have
three as their personal num ber possess character­
istics o f tw o very opposite kinds. T h e best o f
such people cleverly com bine the tw o kinds, and
strength rises Out o f the union. T h e y can be
friendly and joyfu l w hen the occasion dem ands,
and they can be a p o w erfu l fo e w hen attacked
by an enemy.
T his dual nature has generated a forceful
character. A s they can fight or be friends,
w hichever is needed, it follow s that they are
ready to turn from one extreme to the other,
w ithout being unduly put out. T his trait runs
through their w hole nature and, if one thing
fails, they can turn to another and be equally at
 Number Three 27
home. A ll this accounts for the fact that “ num­
ber three ” people seldom com e to g rie f on the
rocks.
People w ith this number live in a hurry. They
have no time fo r dawdling. Consequently, they
make the m ost o f their chances because they see
to it that opportunities do not slip by. I f success
does not com e in their direction quickly enough,
they go out to find it.
A t all times, they lo o k on the bright side o f
life, with the result that they radiate happiness
w herever they go . T h e y do their business w ith a
smile and they take to their sports in the same
cheery way. In the latter, they can suffer a
beating in the same spirit as they w ou ld carry
o ff a victory.
But, on the other side o f the picture, there is a
somewhat different account. “ N um ber three ”
people are the children o f Mars, w h o was the god
o f war. T h e outcom e o f this is that they are
quick to quarrel and show the spirit o f defiance.
T h ey will never suffer an affront silently for the
sake o f peace. Peace, to them, is a sign o f w eak­
ness and they glory in their strength.
In spite o f all this bellicose tendency, there is
nothing in their nature that makes them cruel

28 The Power of Numbers

“ Num ber three ” people are often found to

have leanings towards literature, acting, dancing,
singing, music and painting, as w ell as boxing,
fencing, shooting, and gym nastics in general.
T o marry one o f these people w o u ld be to
have a partner w h o w ou ld prove to be as true as
steel. He or she w ould defend the hon our and
the comforts o f w hat was his o w n w ith his last
drop o f blood. Such a person w ou ld shed a go o d
deal o f happiness in the home ; but once there
arose a storm, a real storm it w ou ld be. There
w ou ld be no capitulating on his part.
Such is the story o f a “ number three ” person.
T h e characteristics w e have enumerated w ill be
born within him or h e r ; but how time and
circumstance w ill influence those traits depends
entirely on the individual concerned.

T h i s number owes its allegiance to M ercury,

the smallest o f all planets. “ N um ber fo u r ”
people have a varied assortment o f qualities—
some go o d and others less attracdve, but none
o f a spectacular nature.
T h e chief asset o f these people is their kn o w ­
ledge. A s a rule, they have an almost uncanny
apdtude fo r acquiring facts. T his, coupled w ith
an excellent m em ory, makes them w ell inform ed.
Therefore, they take up positions in the w orld
where facts and figures stand them in g o o d stead.
“ N um ber fo u r ” people are not suited for
filling executive posts or being the “ big brains ”
o f a vast concern. T h ey cannot sit in an office
and direct a thousand workers, but they can
stand at the elbow o f the man w ho does direct
the thousand w orkers and give him all the
inform ation he needs for his job.
T h o u g h they have intelligence in abundance,
they lack originality and inventive genius and,
on that account, they have often been styled the
“ hewers o f w ood and the drawers o f w ater.”

 3° The Power o f Numbers

But, do not imagine that “ num ber four ”

people are downhearted or disappointed because
they cannot climb to the top o f the tree. Some
people shrink from authority and pow er— those
w ho are guided by the figure four do.
Their habit o f acquiring facts and tit-bits o f
information asserts itself in curious ways. O ne
is that they becom e busybodies, the gossips o f
the neighbourhood and, in extreme cases, the
scandalmongers.
T hough they have no love fo r pow er, they
have a strong desire fo r gaining possessions.
They do not throw their m oney about, but they
save it up and, w ith it, buy the things fo r which
they have a weakness. W ith their savings, they
buy house property, land, stocks and shares, or
they may be content to surround themselves
with nice things, such as antique furniture,
objets d'art, and so on. In almost every case, the
acquisitive habit is plainly in evidence.
A nother strong characteristic o f “ number
four ” people is their constructive ability. They
are able to make things w ith their hands. N atur­
ally, what they put together wilJ differ enor­
mously in different cases ; but one w ill be able
to construct a fine piece o f furniture ; another
will have the facility for binding a book in
vellum ; a third, if o f the female sex, w ill know
how to make her dresses look like models from
 Number Four 3i
Paris, and yet a fourth w ill knit a jumper equal to
the best displayed in Bond Street.
“ N um ber fo u r ” people are rovers. T hey
like to travel and they like to g o about and see
things. The hom e means less to them than it
does to m ost people, and they look upon their
place o f abode, as little more than som ewhere to
rest and somewhere in w hich they can w ork.
The halo o f a real home is unknow n to them.
W hen it comes to marrying, those w ho claim
four as their num ber are not lacking in attraction.
T hey w ill expect their partner to be near to per­
fection, and they w ill try to g iv e perfection in
exchange. O f course, they seldom succeed, but
the effort is in the right direction and makes for
harmony on five days out o f six.
W hen tempers are ruffled, w hich fortunately
is not often, they are rather m orose and it takes
them a considerable while to regain their normal
balance. Usually, they are generous, careful and
considerate ; and, in the case o f their children,
they are particularly anxious to provide them
with a go o d start in life.

NUM BER F IV E

N u m b e r F i v e is linked to the planet Jupiter and

those w hose num ber it is are mainly fortunate.
T h ey have an array o f characteristics w hich can
place them in the front rank. D efects, in their
case, are few.
N um ber F ive stands fo r riches, productive­
ness, fulness and success. Translated into every­
day w ords, this means that people w h o claim five
as their natural number have the ability to
succeed in the w orld and m ake m oney, as a
consequence. Such people are the ones w h o
gradually climb up and up until they reach the
top, where they are the envy o f their less fo r­
tunate brethren.
In spite o f all this, N um ber F iv e has uncer­
tainty as one o f its characteristics. A s a result,
those w ho have climbed to the top o f the laddei
can never be certain that they w ill stay there.
A t any moment, even when least expected, they
may tumble to the bottom o f the ladder, and their
efforts have to be started all over afresh. T ypical
cases o f such catastrophes occur when some
32
 Number Five 33
old-established business suddenly m erges w ith a
rival house and all the “ heads ” are no lo n ger
wanted. T h e redundant staff w ill be foun d to
consist o f “ n um ber five ” people.
T w o other qualities belo n gin g to those w hose
num ber is five are hopefulness and confidence.
T hese have n o value in them selves ; but they
enable those p eople w h o possess them to w o rk
w ith a keener w ill fo r success, and they are able
to lo o k on the b righ t side o f thin gs. T h u s,
“ num ber five ” p eop le are cheery, cheerful,
jolly, satisfied individuals.
T here is a ve ry decided element o f gen erosity
in these people. T h e y w ill share their last far­
thin g w ith anyone w h o needs succour. But, it is
n ot a far cry fro m generosity to extravagance
and “ num ber five ” people often sh o w the
latter fault. W e all k n o w the type o f person w h o
cannot help spen ding w hatever m on ey he has.
Such individuals belon g, m ostly, to the ranks o f
N um ber F ive. In addition to gen erosity, they
have sym pathy and benevolence.
A s a rule, all these people are clear thinkers
and they sh o w lo g ic and reason in their a rgu ­
ments and actions. T hese qualities are, o f
course, valuable in any w alk o f life, and all w h o
possess them are sough t after fo r advice and
assistance.
O ne o f the outstanding failures o f the “ num ­
ber five ” adherents is that they m ay be restless
34 The Tower o f Numbers

people. It cannot be said that they all possess

this defect, though v e ry many o f them do. T his
often causes them to th row up their life-w ork
and start afresh at som ethin g else. A lso , it makes
them pine fo r the green iiclds w hen they are
sitting at hom e and, i f they are lu ck y enough to
visit the green fields, they w an t to get hom e
again. T o stick at anythin g lo n g is irksom e to
them and requires the greatest effort.
W h en N um ber F iv e falls in lo ve , he does it in
no half-measures. H e w ill be courteous to a
degree and very a rd e n t; but do n ot m ake too
sure o f him until he has p ro ved his constancy.

he is perhaps burnin g w ith ardour to-day,
to-m orrow there m ay com e a ch illin g frost and
he w ill ask to be released from his bondage. I f
he is able to put this restless streak in his charac­
ter aside, he w ill m ake an excellent lo v e r and a

V e n u s ; con sequently, the people w h o claim
this num ber as their o w n find their strength in
peaceful rather than w arlike avocation s.
T o summarise the qualities o f the “ num ber
six ” people, w e m ay state them as b e in g peace,
happiness, optim ism and material w ell-bein g.
These people are in the fortunate p osition o f
h avin g the facility fo r com bin ing som e o f the
best characteristics o f N um ber T w o w ith the
finest traits o f N u m b er Three. T h u s, they are
able to sh o w a peaceful nature w ith o u t any dis­
play o f w eakness. T h e y can avo id troubles and
not appear to be ru n n in g away from them.
T heir sense o f optim ism gives them a great
advantage. T h ey can lo o k on the b rig h t side o f
things and hope fo r the best. A s everybo d y
know s, h alf o f the troubles o f this w o rld arc
those w e anticipate and w hich n ever actually
arise. T h e “ num ber six ” people waste no time
on the possible w orries ; their optim ism pre­
cludes them from d o in g anything so silly. T h ey
35
36 The Power o f Numbers

wait until misfortunes actually take place and

then they use their strength to overcom e them.
O f course, optimism can be carried too far,
and there is no doubt that some o f the “ number
six ” people display it to a fault. T h e y are the
ones w ho lock the stable d oor after the horse has
been stolen.
Since N um ber Six is opposed to warlike pur­
suits, it is easy to understand w hy it is a sym bol o f
social and domestic virtues. Adherents o f this
number are, therefore, people w ho like company
and entertaining. T heir homes are places o f
welcome, w here friends foregather fo r pleasures
and merriment.
A s an outcom e o f this characteristic, it w ill be
found that “ num ber six ” people are fond o f music,
singing, dancing and everything that is embraced
by the w ord, rhythm.
A ll this must not be taken to mean that these
people are the pleasure-loving kind that have no
thought for the realities o f life. Q uite the con­
trary. T h o u g h they revel in social and domestic
pursuits, they have a strong leaning towards the
cultural arts and to learning. They are, as a rule,
well educated and keenly interested in the ques­
tions o f the day.
It must be admitted that they are not too prac­
tical and, therefore, the w hirlw ind type o f busi­
ness man is not am ong their number. N everthe­
less, it should not be thought that “ number
 Number S ix 37
six ” people do not get on in the w orld. T hey do
and, very often, they succeed in acquiring a posi­
tion which provides them with plenty o f this
w orld’s riches.
I f the adherents o f N um ber Six display any
faults, it is in bein g too optim istic and too con­
tented with the present lot. T h e latter is the out­
com e o f a peaceful frame o f mind, which in itself
is good ; but it lulls the individual into a false
sense o f security. And, w hile he is gracefully
sleeping, his rivals are leaving him behind in the
race.
In matters connected w ith marriage, the people
w h o claim N um ber Six as their ow n are remark­
ably attractive. T h ey are em inently fair and just,
and they do not expect the impossible. T h ey
appreciate the blessings and the favours which
com e their w ay, and they kn ow how to overlo o k
faults. The hom e is everything to them and they
are never so happy as when they can enjoy it to
the full.

NUM BER SEVEN

S a t u r n is the planet w hich controls this number.

It provides an abundance o f signs w hich g o to
prove that seven is not nearly such a lucky
number as many people suppose. T rue, the
number has its g o o d qualities ; but they are far
few er than is usually conceived by the popular
imagination.
The adherents o f N um ber Seven are generally
o f a philosophical nature. T hey accept the
inevitable and do not complain w hen it brings
them misfortunes. They are stoics, fo r w hen pain
and troubles becom e their lot, they grin and bear
them. They put up w ith almost any and every
form o f reverse and show few signs o f the ordeal.
From all this, it w ill be realised that the
adherents o f N um ber Seven are quiet, resigned
people. They do not cry for the m oon, nor do
they hope for “ the wealth o f In d.” I f fortune
comes their way, they accept it hum bly ; if it
passes them by, they bow to the inevitable. It is
all much the same to them.
}8
 Number Sever) 39

A s a matter o f fact, “ num ber seven ” people

have m ore than their share o f troubles and
reverses ; but their pow ers o f resignation enable
them to bear them silently, and a casual observer
w ou ld not notice that anything w as amiss. T hus
it is that friends and relations o f people w ith this
num ber should keep a w atchful eye o ver them ,
and spare no pains in m aking their lot m ore
attractive.
T h is last rem ark abou t friends brings us to a
very curious characteristic in the nature o f
“ n um ber seven ” people. It is that they have the
p o w e r to cast o ff their ow n natural traits and
assume those o f p eople w h o mean m uch to them
o r w h o are in close touch w ith them. A “ n um ­
ber seven ” w ife, fo r instance, w ill lose her ow n
identity and take on that o f her husband, i f he
has som e other natural num ber, and if she regards
him as everything on earth that matters. Sim i­
larly, i f tw o w om en live togeth er and exist for
each other, it w ill be found that, should one of
them have the N u m b er Seven, her nature w ill
gradually change and be rem odelled in to the
num ber possessed by the other w om an. F ro m all
this, it is apparent that the “ seven ” people
m ake fast friends and deep friendships.
A s a rule, the adherents o f seven do n ot lack
m oney and the necessaries o f life— their steady
o u tlo o k preserves them from actual w ant— but.
on the other hand, they arc not born to be rich,
40 The Power o f Numbers

unless in the process o f years they cast o ff their

natural number for some other.
There has long been an idea that seven was
lucky. H o w such ?>n idea ev^-r arose, w hen con­
trary facts are so abundantly clear, is difficult to
understand. H ow ever, there i? just this to be
said : Seven can be iucky at times ; but, when it
is, it will be found that the luck is afforded at the
expense o f another person’s m isfortune, Tjhis
robs the luck o f its glamour.
W here marriage is concerned, the position is
difficult to describe in a few w ords. A “ number
seven ” person generally changes alm ost entirely,
fo r the reasons previously stated, except in the
cases where the tw o partners do not ge t on well
together. T hen, there w ill be little or n o change.
T he change, i f it takes place, w ill brin g the
“ number seven ” person into closer union w ith
his or her partner. But it must not be forgotten
that tw o people may possess the same qualities
and yet be different. Their personal presentation
o f the same qualities accounts fo r the difference.
 C hapter X

N U M B E R E IG H T

T h i s is the num ber w h ich Uranus influences. It

is, in the main, a very favourable num ber, g iv in g
to those w h o shelter under it m any valuable
privileges.
People h a vin g eigh t as their num ber are p eople
o f resolution. T h e y set a high standard fo r them ­
selves and they strain every nerve to attain their
goal. T h ey have large capacities fo r organisation
and thus they usually succeed in business. B u t
their organ ising ability is not confined to busi­
ness ; they are the people w h o run everything,
w hether it is a local society or just a fam ily party.
Coupled w ith their pow ers o f organising, they
have a keen in sight in to the w ays o f men and
w om en ; thus, they are able to sum up character
and read p eo p le’s thoughts. N aturally, all this
helps them w on derfully and, w hen it is said that
they have a large share o f ingenuity and inspira­
tion, it is easy to see w h y they succeed.
W ith all these favourable qualities, there is no
w onder that they are popular and m uch sought-
after people. In m anner, they are affable and
41
42 The Power o f Numbers

genial, and they do not forget those w h o have

done them a go o d turn.
A “ number eight ” person scarcely gives one
the impression that he is a hard w orker. W e all
kn ow the type o f person w ho is so busy that he
has no time for anything. N um ber E igh t is not
like that. Probably, he gets through ten times as
much as the apparently busy person just men­
tioned, but he always seems to have time on hand
for more and m ore w ork. T h e fact is that tie
knows how to space out his tim e and he knows
ho w to husband his energies.
A s may be supposed, N um ber E igh t has tw o
sides to his account. T he better side has now
been unfolded : here is the other side.
In Num ber E ig h t’s make-up, there is a very
definite streak o f w hat m ight be called the
revolutionary spirit. It is an unpleasant streak
w hich has spoiled many people w ho o w n this
number. This revolutionary spirit may com e to
light when least expected and fo r no apparent
reason. It certainly w ill come to the fore, if the
individual has suffered a serious check w hich is o f
a to o great magnitude fo r him to overcom e.
W hen this characteristic is allow ed to burst
forth, Num ber E igh t becomes a kind o f dow n-
with-everything person. N othin g is right and
nobody is right, and the only w ay to put matters
straight, in his estimation, is to give him the job
o f looking after the w orld.
 Number Eight 43
N um ber E igh t should make hay w hile the sun
shines, fo r there are m any signs that he w ill go
dow n-hill m uch earlier than is usual w ith other
numbers. A n d , as he n ever does things by halves,
he w ill g o dow n-hill rapidly, once the journey
o f descent is com m enced.
O f course, he finds it difficult to realise his
dow nfall and misses the old-tim e favours that
were show ered upon him . A cco rd in gly , he asks
w hat the w orld is co m in g to, and he blames
the yo u n ger generation for their m odern ways
and behaviour. A t heart, he feels that it is these
up-to-date youngsters w h o have pushed him out
o f the lim elight.
C on cernin g the question o f m arriage, N um ber
E ig h t is one o f tw o characters. H e may be the
kind o f husband w h o acts, in exactly the same
w ay, at hom e as he does in the office. H e is the
“ com e here and g o there ” husband w h o wants
to be w aited on hand and foot. T h e hom e, in his
estim ation, should be run as a business and a
balance sheet should be drawn up to show the
profits and losses.
O n the other hand, he may be the kind o f man
w ho leaves all his cares behind in the office and,
once he crosses the threshold o f his hom e, is all
smiles and affability. T h e latter is the more likely.
 C h a pter X I

N U M B E R N IN E

N u m b e r N i n e is related to N eptune, and many

o f its characteristics are o f a ve ry acceptable
nature.
T he outstanding quality possessed by people
w ho have nine as their natural num ber is love.
W e are not thinking o f the quality in the senti­
mental sense, such as w hen Cupid comes upon the
scene ; but rather in the sense o f a desire to do
good towards one’s fellow-m en. “ N um ber
nine ” people deny themselves to help others ;
they g o about cheering the unhappy, healing the
sick, feeding the hungry, and so on. T heir great
desire is to alleviate the trouble o f others, and it
is their love for others that prom pts them to g o
forward.
As a second quality, cc number nine ” people
are steadfast. I f they make a friend, it is a friend
for life ; i f they set out on a project, the effort is
not relinquished until the project comes to
fruition ; if they give a promise, the promise will
be kept, w hatever the cost. Thus, they are people
in w hom trust may be im plicitly reposed.
44
 Number Nine 45
A third quality is typified by their intelligence
and learning. T hey are people w ho combine
practical know ledge w ith theory. O f both, they
usually have a large store ; but o f the tw o, theory
probably appeals to them more than practice.
'Thus, they are often bookish and w hat is properly
called “ scholarly.” T his enables them to pass
examinations w ith flying colours.
Many, th o u gh not all, o f the people w h o claim
nine as their natural number are devoted to the
mystic arts. T hus they live in the dream state of
telepathy and premonition.
A s a rule, they have a keen desire fo r travel.
It is not that they chafe at being anchored to the
same spot or that they lo n g for a change o f sur­
roundings. It is because they feel that G o d has
set them dow n in a beautiful w orld and it is their
duty to see as m uch as they can o f it. T h ey look
upon the w orld as a very w onderful place, ever
revealing fresh surprises. T h ey are keenly alive
to its mysteries and hardships ; but these they
ascribe to the failings o f m ankind, rather than to
the w orkings o f fate.
There is no doubt that “ num ber nine ” people
find a great deal o f attraction in fife, in spite o f
the fact that they are w ell aware o f the trials it
imposes on many people. E very day, to them,
brings forth its fresh problems ; all o f which they
encounter w ith the spirit o f a sportsman.
 46 The Power o f Numbers
From all that has been said, it will be appreci­
ated that the “ number nine ” person is not
altogether a go-ahead, twentieth-century indivi­
dual. He is certainly not what the Americans call
a “ slick business person.” N or is he quite at
home amidst all the hurry and bustle o f city life.
Some people might say that he is old-fashioned ;
but that is hardly a fair estimate o f him, if he is an
average specimen o f his type. W e would prefer to
say that he'refuses to scamper through his work,
since he considers that what is worth doing is
worth doing well.
O f course, there are tendencies for the weaker
type o f the “ number nine ” people to slide into
laziness. The characteristics o f the number rather
lean in that direction. When this happens, they
are people who neglect themselves in the matter
o f appearance, dress, feeding and health. If they
are forced to live a life o f loneliness, especially
when getting on in years, their self-neglect is all
the more likely, and those who are attached to
them should endeavour to keep them up to
scratch.
The “ number nine ” man or woman makes a
first-rate partner in marriage. He or she will set
a high standard and endeavour by all means to
live up to it. It is only when the other partner
is o f the flighty, superficial type that troubles
may arise. Even then, it is more than likely that
his or her influence will temper the other partner
 Number Nine 47

and, little by little, bring him or her to a more

sensible frame o f mind.

A ll the numbers o f numerology have now been

described and, before turning to the applications
o f the science, it cannot be pointed out too defin­
itely that there is nothing in numerology which
says that, because your number may possess
unfortunate characteristics, you must inevitably
go to the dogs. N or does it assert that, if your
number has good characteristics, you need make
no further effort. Numerology points out the
qualities and defects which enter into your com­
plex nature and, with that, you are left to inter­
pret them in your own personal way.
 C h a p t e r X II

D A T E N U M BER S

O ne o f the most valuable uses to which numer­

ology can be put is to find by its aid the number
assigned to any particular day. Then, when we
have the number, it will be possible to learn a
good deal about that day and, especially, how it
will treat us, individually.
There is nothing very difficult about turning
a date into its own number. There are four
steps. First, you write down the number o f the
day o f the month, and if it is a compound
number, it must be reduced to a primary.
Second, you write down the number of the month
and reduce, as before, whenever necessary.
For this purpose, the months are assigned their
natural numbers, thus :

January i May 5 September 9

February 2 June 6 October 10
March 3 July 7 November 11
April 4 August 8 December 12

Third, you simply write down the number of

the year and add up the individual figures.
 Date Numbers 49

And, lastly, you add up the three answers.

This answer, when reduced to a primary number,
gives the number of the day in which we happen
to be interested.
T o make all this clear, let us take one or two
examples. Suppose you are tentatively consider­
ing December 24th as your wedding day, and
we will imagine that the year is 1959. Naturally,
it will be very helpful to know the numerology
number o f this date. Y o u proceed thus :
1st. The 24th day = 2 -f- 4 = 6.
2nd. The month is December and the table,
above, assigns the figure 12 to this month. As
twelve is a compound number, it must be reduced
to a primary number. So 1 + 2 = 3.
3rd. The year 1959 is added thus,
1 + 9 + 5 + 9 = z4 • Again, we have a com­
pound number which requires reducing. In
this case it reduces to 6.
4th. W e now total up the three answers just
obtained. They are 6 + 3 4 - 6 = 15. Reducing
this to its primary form, we get 6. Therefore
6 is the date number o f December 24th, 1959.
N ow that we know that this day has for its
symbol the Number Six, how can the fact be
used ? First o f all, we are supposing that you
tentatively chose the day for your wedding.
This is evidently a personal matter, so how does
the number o f the day accord with your persona]
name number ? In Chapter II you were told how
 50 77ic Pow er o f N um bers

to find this num ber o f yours and by referring to

Chapter I you are able to discover whether the
N um ber S ix pail's with your num ber or whether
it vibrates, attracts or disagrees w ith it.

If your personal num ber pairs or vibrates with

the num ber o f the d ay you have tentatively
chosen for your wedding, then go ahead and
fix it definitely. If it attracts, you will probably do
the sam e. In either case, the issue should be propi­
tious; but if it disagrees, you will be advised to
choosc som e other day tor so im portant a function.

N aturally, it cannot be claim ed that you have

a personal interest in any and ev en ' day, such as
we supposed in the previous case. M any days
arc m erely passive as far as you arc concerned.
Then, it would be useless to find the num erology
num ber o f the day and com pare it with your own
personal number. T he com parison must be made
in some other way. T o m ake this clear, w e will
suppose that an earthquake takes place on a
certain day, or a devastating lire occurs. There is
no personal relationship w ith the earthquake or
lire and you. Yet, you m ay wish to check up
the day and find out w hether it was a happening
in accordance with the laws of numerology.

In such a case, the process o f working will be as

follows:

Suppose the earthquake takes place on July

15'\ 1910. You, first, seek out the num erology
num ber o f the date, thus:
 D ate N um bers 51

i “ . The 15"' day = 1 + 5 = 6.

T h ey are 6 + 7 + 5 - This gives 18 or, in prim ary

H aving discovered the num ber, the next step

is to seek out its application. The following list
gives the readings for the nine possible numbers.
It should be consulted in all cases in which no
personal interest is at issue:

O ne sym bolises heat and light, wisdom and

love. It stands for progress and improvement.

Tw o sym bolises procreation, fruition and the

relation o f all opposite tilings. It stands for
doubt, hesitation and a lull o f progress.

Three sym bolises intelligence, consciousness

and resolution. It stands for movem ent, change
and business.

Four sym bolises discernm ent, discretion and

intelligence. It stands for work, reason and logic.

f iv e sym bolises judgm ent, sym pathy, benevo­

lence and the fruits o f action. It stands for good
fortune, plenty and surprises.

S ix sym bolises peace, harm ony, satisfac­

tion and material well-being. It stands for
 52 The Pow er o f Num bers

co-ordination, m arriage relationship and a spirit

o f understanding.

Seven sym bolises death, rest, wisdom and

evolution. It stands for doubts, m isunderstand­
ings and darkness.

Eight sym bolises revolution, rupture, separa­

tion and expulsion. It stands fo r waywardness,
loss and foolish actions.

N in e sym bolises regeneration, the birth o f a

new era, voyaging and extensions. It stands for
powerful actions, unexpected happenings and
reform ations.

I n the Great Pyramid o f Gizeh, there are to be

found some figures which will interest those o f
our readers who are intent on solving the riddle
o f their future marriage.
The figures are set out in a cryptic manner and
several interpretations have been put upon them.
But, i f we place aside all the doubtful messages
which they convey, we are still in possession o f
some very illuminating information.
Briefly, these tablets tell us how to discover
whether two people are o f suitable temperament
to marry each other. O f course, it will be
admitted straight away that a man and a woman
may both be very worthy and estimable, yet
totally unsuited to each other. Conversely, the
two may be very differently constituted, yet the
qualities o f the one may bring out the good points
of the other and, though a casual observer might
prophesy that a decided failure will result of the
union, it ultimately proves to be a great success.
Thus, failure or success does not depend upon
the joining o f like natures, nor yet of unlike
53
 54 The Power of Numbers

natures. It is based on something far more

subtle, and numerology is the only occult science
which attempts to peer into the future, in a
rational way.
The method suggested by the inscriptions at
Gizeh is as follows : Suppose a lady wishes to
find out whether a certain man would make her
a suitable husband, she first finds out her own
personal number and, then, compares it with the
number belonging to the man. According to the
answer, she will know if the union will be
propitious or not.
T o explain exactly how the figuring should be
done, it will be helpful to take ah example. The
lady, we will suppose, was born on August 17th,
19x6, and the man on October 10th, 1910.
Then :
Lady (a) 17th d a y = 1 + 7 = 8.
(b) August = 8.
(c) 19x6=1-1-9-1-1+6=17 = 8.
(d) 8-f- 8+ 8= 24=6, personal number.
Man (a) 10th day = i + o = i .
(1b) O ctober=io = x -f-o = i.
(c) 1910 = 1-1-9-1-1-1-0=11 = 2.
{d) 1 + 1 + 2 = 4 , personal number.
„ N ow the question is “ H ow will Number Six
harmonise with Number Four ? ” The answer
is supplied by the following table, which can be
used for any two numbers that happen to be
found by this process of working :
 Numerology and Marriages 55

1 vibrates to 9 ; attracts 4 and 8 ; and disagrees

with 6 and 7. It is passive to 2, 3 and 5.
2 vibrates to 8 ; attracts 7 and 9 ; and disagrees
with 5. It is passive to i, 3, 4 and 6.
3 vibrates to 7 ; attracts 5, 6 and 9 ; and dis­
agrees with 4 and 8. It is passive to 1 and 2.
4 vibrates to 6 ; attracts 1 and 8 ; and disagrees
with 3 and 5. It is passive to 2, 7 and 9.
5 vibrates to another 5 ; attracts 3 and 9 ; and
disagrees with 2 and 4. It is passive to 1, 6,
7 and 8.
6 vibrates to 4 ; attracts 3 and 9 ; and disagrees
with 1 and 8. It is passive to 2, 5 and 7.
7 vibrates to 3 ; attracts 2 and 6 ; and disagrees
with 1 and 9. It is passive to 4, 5 and 8.
8 vibrates to 2 ; attracts 1 and 4 ; and disagrees
with 3 and 6. It is passive to 5, 7 and 9.
9 vibrates to 1 ; attracts 2, 3 and 6 ; and dis­
agrees with 7. It is passive to 4, 5 and 8.
Explaining the above :
{a) A number that vibrates to another shows
that there is considerable mutual attraction and
the marriage will be very favourable.
(b) A number that attracts another shows that
the two people are w ell suited to each other.
(c) A number that disagrees with another
shows that the union will call for a great deal of
diplomacy, if it is to be attended with any
measure o f success.
(d) Where a number is passive, it merely
means that numerology offers no opinion, there
being no outstanding influence for good or bad.
56 The Power o f Numbers

(e) O f course, i f the tw o numbers are alike,

it is a foregone conclusion that the union will
be very favourable.
Returning n ow to the example cited earlier,
in which the lady’s num ber was 6 and the man’s
4, it will be found that they have temperaments
w hich will vibrate to each other. Consequently
the prospects for the union are good.

T H E C O LO U R S Y O U SH O U LD F A V O U R

F r o m time immemorial people have known that,

in some way, there was an attraction between
themselves and certain colours : also that the
exact opposite held equally good, and that other
colours were positive harbingers o f trouble.
In order to find some rule for deciding on the
colour that spelt success to any particular indi­
vidual, people came to the conclusion that there
must be some connection between a person’ s
birth-date and the colour which brought him or
her luck. And, from that assumption, they
arrived in some mysterious way, which we do
not presume to understand, at a lucky colour for
every individual.
Since the revival o f numerology, it has been
proved, over and over again, that each person
has what might be called a lucky colour, and
that it is revealed not by the use o f birth-dates but
by an application o f the science o f numerology.
Numerology says that your name can be
reduced to a number : it also shows that every
colour can be reduced to a number. In Chapter II
57
 The Power o f Numbers

we explained how the reduction is effected in the

case o f your name : the same process exactly is
followed for arriving at the number o f any colour.
So, it all amounts to this : if you want to
know which colours affect you beneficially and
which adversely, you first find your own persona]
number, and then you note the numbers attached
to certain colours o f your choice. When a
colour has the same number as your name, you
can rest assured that it may be used beneficially
by you. It is a colour that will help you : you
should select it whenever possible for your dress :
you should choose it in your decorative schemes :
you should wear it as your mascot.
A t the other end o f the scale there are colours
that positively hinder your progress and, of
course, they should be avoided. Such colours
are found by referring to Chapter I. There you
will find a list o f numbers that disagree with
other numbers. Thus, when a colour has a
number disagreeing with your personal number,
you will know at once that it is not a colour for
you. It should be straightway shunned.
Coming between the two extremes there are
colours that vibrate with and others that attract
your own number. They will be more beneficial
than otherwise to you. You will accept them for
your uses, but not to the same extent as you do
the colours which pair with your personal
number.
 The Colours You Should Favour 59
As it entails a certain amount o f figuring to find
out the chief colour numbers, w e give them here.
It will then be a sim ple matter to find out those
which pair, vibrate, attract or disagree with your
own number.
(In each case the figure at the apex o f the
inverted pyramid is the one that is required.)

 Chapter XV

N U M E R O L O G Y IN E V E R Y D A Y L IF E

O n c e you have discovered your number by the

means already described, the ways o f using it
are endless.
W e will suppose that you are comfortably
seated in your office and, suddenly, a matter crops
up which requires your decision. It happens that
you have to choose between two things. O f
course, if one is better than the other, you will
use your judgment and select the better. Natur­
ally, numerology will not expect you to reject
the better for the worse. But, in this particular
case, the two seem equally acceptable and there
is nothing to choose between them. This is
evidently a case for numerology.
The two things cannot be exactly alike : they
must differ in some way. Perhaps they are
offered to you by tw o different firms. Then here
is a solution to your difficulties. Scribble, on a
slip o f paper, the names o f the two firms and
transpose the letters into figures. Perhaps you
have not memorised the numbered alphabet and
cannot put your hand on this book. That need
63
64 The Power o f Numbers
not trouble you long. Write down the alphabet
and then number off the letters, starting with
one for A and going as far as 9, then beginning
with one again ; but remember that PH is the
same as F.
When you have done that it will be easy to
see which o f the two firms have a name number
that accords most with your own. And when
you have found that out, decide in favour of
the firm in question.
I f you have not the name o f a firm or person
to compare with your own, take the name o f the
article and use that. O f course, you are now
departing from the path o f safety and you may
alight on some factor for your purpose that will
not give you a correct clue to suitable numbers.
That is when numerology is blamed for faults
which it has not committed.
Take another case. Y o u have to call upon a
firm and you hope to pull off a good piece o f
business while there. Y o u are booked to reach
the firm by 2.30. Thoughts o f numerology flash
across your mind and, on the back o f an old
envelope, you scribble the now familiar inverted
pyramid, but wdth these figures :
230
5 3
8
“ Ah ! ” you say, “ that’s no good, as my num­
ber is two and not e i g h t Well, if your number
 Numerology in Everyday L ife 65

is two, why not reach there at 2.25, and all

will be well, as the following pyramid shows

225
4 7

Mind you, we are not suggesting i f you were
going to Edinburgh, and a train at 2.30 suited
your convenience, but did not give your number,
and that an inconvenient train at midnight gave
your number, that you should lose the first and
catch the later one. Numerology, when used in
this way, is more a nuisance than a help ; and
its real mission is to help.
D o not think that numerology is something
to. use now and again. It can be applied to the
ckawing-up o f a dinner menu, a dance pro­
gramme, to mapping out a summer holiday or
buying a new frock. Its uses are unlimited.

THE PAST, T H E P R E SE N T A N D TH E
FU TU RE

N um erology claims that during the whole of

our lives we are influenced by numbers. A
number denotes the year o f our birth : another
will herald the year o f our death, and still others
mark or will mark the years in which events of
special importance occur to us. A ll these
numbers, the science contends, are not mere
figures that happen by chance. In some special
and rather mysterious way, they are related.
N ot long ago we applied one o f the most
useful numerology tests to a lady who happened
to call on us. For reasons which will be appreci­
ated later, we purposely did not explain to her
what we proposed to do. The experiment con­
sisted in asking certain questions which she was
required to answer.
Here are our questions and her answers :
(1) When were you born? In the year 1900.
(2) What happened to you in 191 o ? I had a
very serious illness, but what makes you ask ?
66
 The Past, the Present and the Future 67

(3) What happened to you in 1921 ? Why,

that was the year I was married.
(4) What happened to you in 1929 ? Nothing
that I can remember o f any importance.
(5) W hat happened to you in 1934? I went
for a tour round the world.
These were our questions and now let us
explain why each one of them was asked.
First o f all, the lady said she was born in the
year 1900. The figures o f that year add up to 10.
Add xo to 1900 and we get 1910. Hence the date
of the second question.
Next, the figures o f 1910 add up to 11. A dd
11 to 1910 and we get 1921. This date accounts
for the second question.
Again, the figures o f 1921 add up to 13. A dd
13 to 1921 and we get 1934. This accounts for
the fifth and last question.
But what about the fourth question ? you will
immediately ask. It will be recognised that the
date asked in that question did not belong to the
progression years. It was a year chosen at
random to see if the lady was giving events for
any and every year that might be asked. Her
answer shows that she did not look upon the yeai
with any significance, as far as she was con­
cerned ; nor was it.
This little experiment with what are known
as the progressive years o f your life will point
68 The Power of Numbers

out the years that have passed and those that

are to come 'which will be or have been out­
standing years. Just apply the experiment to
your own life and the lives o f some o f your
friends ; then see if the test does not answer
satisfactorily. Continue beyond the present year
and you will be told the years to come with
special significance.
It will be noticed that, for this progressive
sequence, the annular figures are not reduced to
a primary number.
T o save you the bother of working out quite a
few progression years o f significance, we append
several lists in which you may find some o f the
dates required. In each case, no more than five
or six years are given. The first is the birth year.
The others are the years to think about and
w a tch :
(a) 1900-1910-1921-1934-1951-1967.
(b) 1901-1912-192 5-x 942-19 58-1981.

(u) 1920-1932-1947-1968-1992.
For any earlier or subsequent year o f birth,
add up the figures forming it. Then, add
the answer to the birth year. Y o u now have a
fresh year. Add up the figures it contains and
add the answer to the fresh year. Y o u have now,
yet another year. G o on in this way until you
have gone beyond the period in which the
person whose birth year it is can have any interest.

Y O U R W IL L T O O V E R C O M E
D IFFICU LTIES

W e have hinted in several places that when

difficulties and troubles arise, it depends on our
individual qualities how we will face them and
overcome them. The astrologers o f old had a
way o f determining the measure o f our strength
in these matters. The method is fairly simple
and well worth applying to our own particular
cases.
The system is based on a mystic square con­
taining certain numbers. Here it is :

3 1 9

6 7 5

2 8 4

The above numbers are represented by the

following heavenly bodies :
1. Sun. 4. Sun. 7. Moon.
2. Moon. 5. Mercury. 8. Saturn.
3. Jupiter. 6. Venus. 9. Mars.
7°
 Your W ill to Overcome Difficulties 71

N ow , to make use o f this mystic square, we

commence by drawing the square, but leaving
out the figures. Then, we take the day on which
we were born and reduce it to figures. Thus,
supposing our day o f birth was the 12th Septem­
ber, 1901, it is written 12-9-01. It w ill be seen
that the thousand and hundred figures o f the
year are omitted, as they are redundant for the
purposes o f the square.
Next, w e write these figures in the square, in
their appropriate places. In the case w e have
suggested, the square will now take this form :

II 9

O f course, in every case some o f the squares

will have to remain unfilled. Another point to
note is that when the birth date happens to be
formed by the repetition o f one or more figures,
the figures are duplicated in the appropriate
square. Thus, in the example w e have selected,
the figure one occurs twice. Therefore, both o f
them are set dow n in the middle upper square,
and they must not be read as eleven, but as tw o ones.
N ow , whenever two adjacent squares are
filled with a number, the heavenly bodies that
~jz The Power o f Numbers

influence those squares are said to be in con­

junction. This means that their influence will be
exerted towards helping you to overcome
any difficulties which beset you. H ow much they
will be exerted is shown by the follow ing table :
Sun and Moon, 21.
Sun and Mars, 20.
Sun and Venus, 19.
Sun and Saturn, 18.
Sun and Jupiter, 17.
Sun and Mercury, 16.
Moon and Mars, 15.
Mars and Venus, 14.
Moon and Venus, 13.
Mars and Saturn, 12.
Mars and Mercury, n .
Moon and Saturn, 10.
Moon and Jupiter, 9.
Jupiter and Saturn, 8.
Jupiter and Venus, 7.
Venus and Saturn, 6.
Mars and Jupiter, 5.
Jupiter and Mercury, 4.
Mercury and Venus, 3.
Moon and Mercury, 2.
Mercury and Saturn, 1.
Thus, in the present case, the tw o squares
representing the Sun and Mars are filled ; the
two squares touch ; therefore it follows that, in
the case o f a person born on 12th September,
1901, the Sun and Mars are in conjunction, as
far as he is concerned. By referring to the above
list, it will be noticed that the Sun and Mars have
 Your W ill to Overcome Difficulties 73
the number 20 given as their value. This is a
high value and the strength which a person born
on this particular day will have within him to
overcome difficulties will be great. The fact
that the Sun is doubled in the middle upper
square shows that strength is added to the
reading. So, a person with this birth date
should be well satisfied with his prospects for
surmounting the obstacles of life.
N ow, why not try your own figures ?
Before leaving the matter, it will be advisable
to consider the follow ing birth-square, because
it presents a condition that did not arise in the
previous example. Suppose you were born on
April 5th, 1907. On filling in your square you
obtain this :

7 5

N ow , in this instance, there are three cases of

conjunction. In which order should we deal
with them ? The rule is to start with the lowest
numbers on the square and to take them in
ascending order. Thus, we have :
(a) 4 in conjunction with 5
\b) 4 „ „ >, 7
(0 5 „ » » 7
74 The Power o f Numbers

Now (a) means that the Sun is in conjunction

with Mercury.
(b) Means that the Sun is in conjunction with
the Moon.
(c) Means that Mercury is in conjunction with
the Moon.
In the table o f values, it will be noted that
when the Sun is in conjunction with Mercury,
the value o f the personal strength is i 6.
Regarding the table o f values given above, it
must be understood that the figures are merely
comparative. From 21 to 14 may be taken as
excellent; from 13 to 1 x as good ; from 9 to 5
as fair ; and below 5 as weak.
As a matter o f interest, we conclude this sec­
tion with a few examples o f people whose
names are universally known. They are given
without com m ent:

IN CO N CLU SIO N

W e have now sketched the subject o f numer­

ology in outline. The main rules are few and
straightforward in their purpose. Their applica­
tion to your own personal self and to the things
around you does not demand a belief in the
supernatural. The Bible refers, in several places,
to numerology, if one can read between the
lines.
Numerology gives strength and support
because it helps you to discover facts about
yourself which you could not know otherwise.
These facts depend upon the numbers which
influence your life and actions. Once you know
them, you can go ahead and not grope about in
the dark, as you were forced to do before you
knew them.
W e do not claim, because you are now able to
compare the figures which vibrate from your
own person with those of outside events, that
there is nothing more for you to do. N or are we
suggesting that you should sit down and wait
for things to happen. Quite the contrary.
76
 In Conclusion 77
What we do seriously suggest is that when
you have got to know your good and your bad
numbers, as explained in Chapter II, you should
take thorough stock o f yourself. Num erology
only helps those w ho help themselves. There­
fore, find out your good and your weak points.
Chapters III to X I will tell you a great deal about
yourself that you already know and much more
that you do not know. Think over all these
matters and be very frank with yourself. Then,
make up your mind to gild the good in you and
eradicate the bad. Both will be simple things to
do, because numerology will give you the
necessary inspiration.

H e r e is a dictionary arrangement o f Christian

names and their numbers. In each case the
personal number is the figure at the apex o f the
inverted pyramid. T o find your own number,
seek out the figure for each o f your Christian
names and apply the method o f resolving to
your surname. Then, add all the figures and
reduce them to a primary number.
