Questions:
1. This number indicates past abuses of acting in a completely self-absorbed manner, blind to everything except self-fulfillment of one's own desires.
2. This number indicates an abuse of freedom.
3. This number differs from the others because it represents good karma.
4. This number symbolizes rebirth and potential.
5. The goal of this number is to link the personal spirit with the universal spirit, thereby destroying one's old ways and rebirthing with new.
6. A person exhibiting the negative traits of this number would be selfish, dependent, intimidating, failing to stand up for him/herself, egotistical, lazy, and aggressive.

Calculations
7. Calculate the Karmic Lessons and Karmic Debts for Tom Marvolo Riddle. (NOTE: This will likely require you to calculate his Core Numbers, Maturity Number, and Birth Day Number. Use the DOB: Dec. 31, 1926. I must see your calculations if you wish to receive partial credit, should you make a mistake calculating any of these numbers.)
