| | |  Lesson 2: The Core and Companion Numbers
You enter the Arithmancy classroom, and just as last time, you see neat and exactly-positioned rows of wooden desks and chairs. Again for your comfort, the chairs have cushions in a myriad of colors and textures to match your comfort and liking. Numbers are floating all around the room and the windows are open, letting in a cool autumn breeze and blowing the golden curtains just slightly. Professor Shackleton is at the front of the room, sitting at her desk, preparing for today's lesson. She is dressed in ornate robes of navy and gold. On the board behind her is written: "Please be sure to have your journals with you and ready to take notes! Please take a seat and wait quietly for the lesson to begin." | |

Zoraida looked down at the correction that Professor Shackleton showed her. Then noticed another mistake she had put down the wrong year. Whoops apparently the math was the most important part of the lesson but messing up ones own birth year was bad. Thankfully no one noticed to much so she corrected the error following the math Shackleton had just shown her. Quote:
12/6/2051
(1+2) + 6 + (2+0+5+1)
3 + 6 + 8
3 + 6 + (8)
3 + 6 + 8 = 17
1 + 7 = 8
Hoping her math was correct this time she went and looked up the number 8. Apparently math shortcuts were not a good thing.

Quote:
1. Find the number of the month. July, for example, is a 7 month.
2. If your birthday is a double-digit number, reduce it to a single number.
3. Now, add the year numbers together to get a single digit number.
4. Next, add all three reduced numbers for the month, day, and year, together.
5. Last, reduce the final double-digit numbers.
Austin began to write in his notebook
Quote:
November 11, 2052
11/21/2052
(1+1) + (2+1) + (2+0+5+2)
2 + 3 + 8 = 13
1 + 3 = 4
FOUR (4): Your path will lead you to work hard and systematically. You'll learn the benefis of loyalty and following the rules, all the while remaining loyal and steadfast. Reliability is key and once you've learned this lesson, you'll move on to the next phase - building for the long term. You're a born builder because security is a big deal for you. Others look to you to manage and control the situation. Career/vocation options include bookkeeping, accounting, and work where organization is valued - administration, education, business, etc.
yes that does sound like me, Austin said nodding his head as he read what he had just written | |

Lily wrote down in her journal: Quote:
July 12 2052
7/12/2052
7+(1+2)+(2+0+5+2)
7+3+9=19
1+9=10
1+0=1
NE (1): Your path will take you down the road to independence, and you'll learn its benefits standing on your own two feet and becoming a strong individual. Once you've honed these traits, you move to the next level - leadership. You're a born leader and your path in life will present you with many opportunities to demonstrate your ability. Your strong pioneering spirit, courage, and determination will serve you well along this road. Career/vocation options include fields where you can use your quick mental agility, such as business, health, government, or even a bookstore.
That's like me if you concentrate hard and get to know me,she thought.

Once you've learned this lesson, you'll move on to the next phase - tolerance for all and the importance of caring for each other.

Saylie thought about this for a minute then nodded, This sounds like me, she thought to herself. Then another thought occured to her. Raising her hand, she asked, "Professor, I know this is slightly off subject...but I was reading about how nine represents healing, and it occurred to me that daisies are sometimes used for treating and healing...could that add to what we were talking about in your office?" Professor Shackleton thought carefully about Saylie's suggestion and replied, "It certainly could! I think I may have discussed that flower with another student too, so you're definitely thinking along the right track!" Macadrian glanced at more students' work and when she was satisfied that most had completed what was asked of them, she continued the lesson by summarizing, "So in summary, we know that the Life Path number is calculated from the month, day, and year of your birth; your Life Path number shows you your potential paths. Also, knowing your Life Path number helps you live your life to your fullest potential. "Now, let's move on to the Destiny Number. What does the Destiny Number reveal to us?"

Tori raised her hand. When she was called on, she said, "Our Destiny Number tells us what our life's purpose is, what we have to live up to, the opportunities we have for success, the qualities and ways of life we will develop, our destiny, our goals in life, and the work that would be a good expression of our Life Path."

"You are all correct. One point to each of you!" "The Destiny Number does indeed reveal our purpose and what we must live up to by telling us the best direction and major accomplishment, thereby pointing the way to living a fulfilled life. Both opportunities and inner resources will come from this Core Number, which describes the area of your life that must be explored, developed, and embraced for your soul to grow to its full potential in this lifetime, and for you to be whole. "How do we calculate the Destiny Number?"

Kerry raised her hand, “well first of all, every letter is assigned a number value. Using your full given name… you write it completely out and then underneath each letter of your name you put the corresponding number that goes with each letter. After you have done this, you figure each name separately, and then add the total of each name and then reduce that number to its single digit root number. If that makes sense.” Kerry blushed, realizing sometimes it wasn’t easy to explain ideas that made complete sense in your head.

Torie raised her hand. "I'm not sure if I will do it correctly, Professor, but I am willing to give it a shot." Her blue eyes looked expectantly at the Professor as she waited for a response.

Hopefully she would be able to get some points for Ravenclaw doing something she enjoyed doing. "It couldn't hurt to have a second example. Why don't you head over to the other board and I'll give you both some instructions." Professor Shackleton began, "There are some additional things you must recognize before you calculate your own Destiny Number. The main point is that there is a wealth of information in your birth name. Not only does each letter have meaning, each part of your name does as well. Your first name gives you the most personal lessons. Your middle name reveals hidden abilities that you don't necessarily like. Your last name tells of the characteristics you've inherited from your family. When you calculate and analyze your Destiny Number, make sure you look into the meanings of each name as well as of your entire name. And speaking of names, it is very important that you use your full name given on your birth certificate, including any and all relevant middle names and the given spellings." Professor Shackleton turned to her two volunteers and requested, "Could you please both write out your full names given at birth and then assign the appropriate numbers from the Pythagorean number table in the textbook to each letter, placing the vowels above the name and the consonants below. I will show you an example with my name." Quote: -1--1--91--1---9------1----5-6

"Everyone else should be doing the same for themselves in their own journals. Use my example and your classmates as a model."

Torie walked up to the board and taking a piece of chalk, began writing out her name.
9 6 9 1 5 9 1 5 5 5
VICTORIA ELIZABETH LEDGER
4 3 2 9 3 8 2 2 8 3 4 7 9
(4+9+3+2+6+9+9+1) (5+3+9+8+1+2+5+2+8) (3+5+4+7+5+9)
'Curse my parents for giving me such a long name!' thought Torie to herself. She stepped back from the board and waited for the Professor to answer her question. "Professor, would you like us to continue with the addition now?"
OOC: I just can't get the numbers and letters to line up properly. I'm sorry

Tori made a face. She hated her given name. Tori was a much better name than Victoria. Ew. Why would her mother name her that, anyway? Nevertheless, she wrote in her notebook, Quote: -9--6-91 -51- ---17
VICTORIA JEAN MCKAY
4-32-9-- 1--5 432--

Torie stepped back up to the board and began her addition. She did this slowly, trying to ensure she wasn't making any mistakes. Quote:
Victoria Elizabeth Ledger

In her journal, Tori worked out what her destiny number was. She wrote, Quote:
(4+9+3+2+6+9+9+1) + (1+5+1+5) + (4+3+2+1+7)
43 + 12+ 17
(4+3) + (1+2) + (1+7)
7 + 3 + 8
18
1 + 8 = 9
Destiny Number = 9
First Name = 7
Middle Name = 3
Last Name = 8

Torie stepped back and looked at her work. With surprise, she noticed a master number in the addition of her last name. "Professor, I think I have a master number in my last name! What does that mean? Does it even work?"

Zoraida looked down at her journal and just wrote her name down. After looking at it she thought it was really long and wondered if using nicknames would work. As that would be alot less letters. However she messed up her math before with shortcuts so she knew they would be bad now. Quote:
Copied from the textbook.
1---2---3---4---5---6---7---8---9
A---B---C---D----E----F---G---H----I
J----K---L----M---N---O---P---Q---R
S----T----U---V----W---X---Y----Z
Zoraida (8+6+9+1+9+4+1) = 38 =11 = 2 (first)
Elizabeth (5+3+9+8+1+2+5+2+8) = 43 = 7 (middle)
Trowbridge (2+9+6+5+2+9+9+4+7+5) = 58 = 13 = 4 (last)
2+7+4 = 13 = 4 (destiny)
Looking back at her math it looked right. Then checked the spelling of her name and it looked right. Zora Liz Trowbridge would have been less math but wrong. Interesting though she got a master number in the addition of her first name. So she looked to see if it applied to this set of numbers.
