One:
Vibratory influences: generator of all numbers, not actually considered a number; characterized reason
Textbook meaning: Beginning, independence, innovation, leadership
Comparison: This number isn't really considered a number according to the vibratory influence but it's all the beginning according to the textbook. See, I think the textbook version is better because one is the beginning. At least for positive numbers. That's where you start counting from. Zero is nothing.

Two:
Vibratory influences: first female number; characterized opinion and division
Textbook meaning: Harmony, unity, relationships, collaboration, duality, humans/human magic
Comparison: These seem to have two different meanings; one is about unity and harmony and working together while the other says having an opinion and creating a sort of division. Dead confusing.

Three:
Vibratory influences: first male number, combination via addition of 1 (unity) and 2 (division); characterized harmony
Textbook meaning: Imagination, positivism, playfulness, creative expression, house elves/house elf magic, complex thought
Comparison: I feel like these two meanings can work together. See, one says harmony and the other says positivism. Harmony is a very positive thing and, maybe by having a sense of harmony, you could be more imaginative and creative. I don't understand where house elves and their magic comes into use unless we're talking about cooking.

Four:
Vibratory influences: second female number, represented space and matter; characterized by justice and order
Textbook meaning: Building, formation, hard work, endurance, sober-mindedness, practicality, organisation
Comparison: I think that these two meanings can work together as well. To have a sense of justice and order, you need to work hard and endure all the obstacles that come your way. You also need to be very organised and probably need to pay a lot of attention to what you're doing.

Five:
Vibratory influences: union of first male and female numbers; characterized by love and marriage
Textbook meaning: Change, transition, progressive thinking, resourceful, freedom, versatility, physical world, physical touch
Comparison: Love and marriage is something that happens through progressive thinking. And it changes you. Sometimes for good or for worse. I don't know how much freedom there is in something like a marriage but I'm going to leave that up to the married people to decide.

Six:
Vibratory influences: female; characterized by creation, originality, or beginnings
Textbook meaning: Balance, nurturing, service-oriented, responsibility/duty, family focus, domestic and work issues, stability
Comparison: This doesn't add up. One side is talking about something that seems positive, like a fresh new beginning that gives you the chance to be original and whatnot, but the other side is talking about issues and finding a sense of stability? To have stability, you need to have something there in the first place which goes against the idea of a beginning. It doesn't add up.

Seven:
Vibratory influences: male; characterized by conflict or individuality
Textbook meaning: Analysis, research, solitude, wisdom, spiritual focus, investigative, mysticism, magic
Comparison: You know what goes well with these to meanings? Individuality and solitude. If you're individual, you're usually on your own or work on your own. You stand out in the crowd. This gives a sense of solitude. Bingo! The conflict is the only one that seems to stick out, unless it's saying that conflict leads to wisdom. And where did the magic part come from?

Eight:
Vibratory influences: female; characterized by compromise, cooperation, or balance
Textbook meaning: Authority, finances, business, success, material wealth, self-mastery, complex thought/reasoning, fluidity, movement
Comparison: Cooperation and business goes well together, in my opinion. You need to cooperate with people in a business environment, I imagine. Sometimes compromises can come from complex thought/reasoning and you need to have a compromise to move forward.

Nine:
Vibratory influences: male; characterized by peace, stability, or enlightenment
Textbook meaning: Endings, tolerance, metamorphasis, cosmic, teaching, global awareness, perfection, power/strength, short-lived, immediacy
Comparison: This reminds me of a boring happy ending. There's peace and everything settles down and ends. Maybe the cosmic teaching part can add onto that. Like you've learnt something from the story. The moral or whatever. And endings are usually immediate so there's that.
