The reverse is also true.
Numbers correspond to our inner state and to our personal preferences in the same way. They, too, reveal much about our nature, and they even influence how we feel.
On a very deep level, each of us understands that a number represents more than just a quantity. The numbers 1 through 9 represent archetypes, Each number has a certain character or personality: the creative 3, the dynamic 5, the responsible 6, the sage-like 7, and so on. Perhaps all of these characteristics are in you, but some are more pronounced than others, It is this link between the character of a particular number, and those same traits within you, that sparks an unconscious recognition or attraction.
Objectively speaking, there is no number that is better than another, so any preference for a certain number, or numbers, is purely subjective.
Numbers can be seen as archetypes. They represent qualities that all of us possess in greater or lesser quantities, Each number, you might say, is the archetypal quality. The number 1 possesses aggressiveness or dynamism, for example, versus the passiveness and cooperation of number 2. In this sense, numerology has much in common with mythology. Just as each of the Greek gods possessed an absolute set of values, each number has a oneness of being.
To further illustrate, the number 1 embodies masculinity, a strong drive, individuality, and determination. The number 1 could never be confused with the number 2, which has the qualities of sensitivity, femininity, cooperation, and gentleness. Each number is the counterpart, or the opposite, of the number next to it. The personality of the number 1 is the opposite of the 2. In a different, but no less profound way, the 2 is the opposite of the 3, the 3 is the opposite of the 4, the 4 is the opposite of the 5, and so on.
At the same time, each number does possess nuances within its field of characteristics that are enhanced or diminished due to its place in the chart. Also, certain numbers complement other numbers; the right combinations will enhance and support each other. In this way, they may also limit one another’s effects. If placed in very prominent positions within the chart, such opposites can be very dynamics, but can also represent internal conflict.
Numbers are so much like people that getting to know them is a continuing process.
It would be impossible to put down all the characteristics, qualities, and idiosyncrasies that each number possesses.
For example, ‘I’s’ like to take John Wayne-size steps-they swing their arms,
