Accurate Numerology Talk, Classes and Discussions.

Often ignored by numerologists, I consider this an important aspect of the chart.
Your Rational Thought number reveals what can probably best be described as your way of thinking.

Are you a practical, methodical thinker, or a dreamer? Do you frequently allow your imagination to color your perception? Are you unconventional and original in the face of a practical problem, or do you stick to proven methods?

This is the kind of information that is available from your Rational Thought number.

Your Rational Thought number is found by adding the sum of the value of all the letters in your first name to your day of birth. For example, let's assume that Thomas was born the twenty-fifth day of the month.

T	H	O	M	A	S	The name Thomas adds to 22 (a Master Number)
2	8	6	4	1	1	The name Thomas adds to 22 (a Master Number)

He was born the 25th. Thomas Rational Thought number is 22 + 25 = 47, which reduces to 11.

Each of us experiences life on four different levels: with our physical body; our mental faculty; our emotional make-up; and our intuition. Each of these areas has a specific means of perceiving information. The physical body is capable of touch, taste, pleasure, and pain. It provides us with a sense of the physical world. The mental body, like the emotional and intuitive natures, perceives the invisible worlds. Our minds deal with the world of thought.

The heart, of course, is preoccupied exclusively with the world of emotion. Our feelings teach us many things about ourselves and about others. Finally, we have the capacity for direct contact with the higher realms by way of intuition. Intuitive insight comes in a flash. It is not rational -- that is the world of the Mental Plane -- but comes as if it were placed at the doorstep our minds. Intuition, therefore, bypasses all efforts save that of perception.

These four faculties exist in all of us. But each of us depends more on one or two of them for the bulk of our knowledge. Some of us are possessed by our senses, while others live almost exclusively in their hearts, or in their minds. Numerology indicates how we as individuals function on each plane.

The letters of the alphabet are divided into four categories: Physical, Mental, Emotional, and Intuitive.
The proportion of each category in your name gives a good indication of which Planes of Expression are strongest in you, and which ones are weaker.
The sum (reduced to a single digit or Master number) of the numbers found on each plane reveals how you deal with your experiences on that plane. These Planes of Expression can greatly help you to understand your talents and abilities.

In addition, the letters of the alphabet are also considered to be either creative, vacillating (wavering), or grounded (practical).

NOTE: Some numerologists base their calculations of the Planes of Expression on the number values of the letters. We believe this is incorrect. Letters have their own archetypal personalities and, when calculating the Planes of Expression, should be considered on their own merit. For example, the E, the N, and the W all have the value of 5. However, the letters E and W are both considered physical letters. While the N is seen as a mental letter.

The chart below shows the status of he letters in the alphabet according to these categories:

	Creative	Vacillating	Grounded
Physical	E	W	D M
Mental	A	H J N P	G L
Emotional	I O R Z	B S T X
Intuitive	K	F Q U Y	C V

Food for thought:
Notice that not a single letter in the alphabet is both grounded and emotional.
All vowels are creative with the exception of the U, which is vacillating.

The Planes of Expression chart is one of the more complex systems in numerology; however, a good understanding of the Planes of Expression rewards you with considerable insight.

The Subconscious Self reflects the confidence you have in your personal power and competence, as well as in your ability to deal with sudden events and situations. It shows your capacity to correctly assess a situation and to respond appropriately.

The Subconscious Self is derived from your Karmic Lesson chart, in which it is possible to have all nine numbers represented in your name, or fewer than nine; in fact as few as three or as many as eight. For example, you may be missing a 6 or a 7. This means that when you encounter a situation that requires the characteristics of a 6 or a 7, there will be some feeling of inadequacy, or uncertainty as to how to properly deal with the demands of the situation.

On the other hand, you still have the other seven or eight numbers represented in you name, which means your ability to deal with situations that require any of those numbers is well-developed. You posses a certain confidence or assurance that makes you feel familiar with the situation, and able to deal with effectively. Hence, a person with eight numbers represented in the name will tend to be more confident in most situations than a person with only five numbers.

In general, someone with eight numbers in his name is quite capable of dealing with most situations.

Paradoxically, a person with all nine numbers represented tends to be aloof or overly complacent when dealing with sudden events.

To find your Subconscious Self number, simply count the amount of numbers represented in your name, as revealed in the Karmic Lesson chart; or subtract the number of Karmic Lessons in your chart from 9 and arrive at your Subconscious Self number.

Each letter in your name represents your characteristics, but the location of the letters can determine their impact.

For instance, the first letter of your name (use your first name at birth) is called the Cornerstone. It gives you an indication of your character, particularly in the way you approach opportunities and obstacles.

The last letter of your first name reveals your ability and attitude toward finishing projects that you start. This letter is called your Capstone. Together, your Cornerstone and Capstone can tell you much about your capacity to start and finish a project successfully.

The first vowel of your first name reveals something of your deeper self. As I explained earlier, the Heart's Desire is a somewhat hidden, but strongly represented, core number in your chart. It is a big part of yourself that you do not reveal easily or indiscriminately, and it is usually recognized only by your relatives and friends. The first vowel of your name is the little window through which you allow the uninitiated a glimpse at your deeper self.

It is interesting to note that a person who uses a first name with a different first vowel as the original birth name is particularly apprehensive of revealing his or her deeper self.
