Dr. Unite Cross has stated that the number system is divided into three categories:

1) Intellectual or Spiritual Numbers – 3, 6, and 9

2) Emotional or Sensible Numbers – 2, 5, and 8

3) Material or Worldly Numbers – 1, 4, and 7

‘0’ (zero) has a distinct significance in the birthdate. For example, It strengthens the effect of other numbers and that person achieves success, fame, and popularity. As per western astrology, the date changes after 12:00 midnight whereas Vedic Astrology believes that the effect of a particular day (Date) remains from the Sunrise of one day to the Sunrise of the next day. There are many opinions in this which are endless to discuss.

Let us have a quick example, if any person is born on the 20th of a month at 5:00 am and the Sunrise of the 20th is at 6:00 am, the birthdate will be considered as the 19th of the month. What if a person does not know the birthdate? In that case, whichever is the date he is using on his documents, should be considered for the analysis.

The life number decides the path of fortune. The ruling planet is determined by the life number and the effect of that planet is very important to figure out for the person. Of course, other numbers do have relevance to a person’s life. Different numbers of birthdate indicate the effects of different planets. Which needs to be studied thoroughly for accurate predictions.

Let us take some quick examples to understand how these three categories are measured in any birthdate:

A person born on 28th September 1989. Mathematical conversion is 28-9-1989.

Her path of fortune or life number is (2+8+9+1+9+8+9 = 46 = 4+6 = 10 = 1+0 = 1) 1.

a. Intellectual or Spiritual Numbers = 9

b. Emotional or Sensible Numbers = 2, and 8

c. Material or Worldly Numbers = 1

Analysis:

This lady has an intellectual or spiritual number 9. She is under the influence of number 9. This number is NOT considered strong and determined. But the support of number 1 makes it very strong as the number 1 is under the lordship of the Sun who nourishes the inner strength of any being, and the backing of number 2 makes it Abstemious, and Conciliatory. Number 2 represents solution and Sync. Number 2 makes her nature soft and mingling. Even with her enemies, this girl behaves friendly, and equally. She never holds rivalry, or jealousy for anyone. The influence and effect of number 1 are very important for this lady. Number 1 fortifies other numbers too which are thereby able to give their positive effects to this lady. Number 8 is under the lordship of Saturn which very frequently puts her into difficulties and she has to face the Disconnection with her Kith and kin. Kith and kin meaning the people descended from a common ancestor or blood relations. Evidently, this number only gives her the strength to overcome the challenges successfully.

A person born on 5th April 1991. Mathematical conversion is 5-4-1991.

Her path of fortune or life number is (5+4+1+9+9+1 = 29 = 2+9 = 11 = 1+1 = 2) 2.

a. Intellectual or Spiritual Numbers = 9

b. Emotional or Sensible Numbers = 5

c. Material or Worldly Numbers = 1, and 4

Analysis:

This lady has an intellectual or spiritual number 9. She is under the influence of number 9. This number is NOT considered strong and determined. But the support of numbers 1 and 5 determines the strength of this configuration. Number 1 is under the lordship of the Sun who nourishes the inner strength of any being and number 5 is under the lordship of Mercury which states the volatility, enthusiasm to take over new assignments, oratory skills, and interest towards science. Number 4 makes her a true and loyal friend.

Let us see the numerological configuration of Shri Swami Vivekananda.

Born on 12th January 1863. The mathematical conversion is 12-1-1863.

His path of fortune or life number is (1+2+1+1+8+6+3 = 22 = 2+2 = 4) 4.

a. Intellectual or Spiritual Numbers = 3, and 6

b. Emotional or Sensible Numbers = 2

c. Material or Worldly Numbers = 1

Analysis:

The intellectual or spiritual numbers 3, and 6 become stronger with the association of number 1 which is ruled by the Sun. Number 2 represents solution and Sync. Number 2 makes his nature soft and mingling. Numbers 3, and 6 took him to the peak of spiritual sight. Number 3 is ruled by the planet Jupiter. Number 3 was fuelled with power when encountered number 6 and number 1. This made him a public speaker, scholar, and yogi. He was a great writer too. His speeches and writings were impassioned and clear. Life number 4 provided strength to become a messenger of religion and peace. Number 4 was the cause of his monasticism and became the source of energy, and positivity for the world. Number 1 determined the fame and success.

These examples will help to understand the gist of the number game.
