| | Arithmancy Lesson 2: The Personal Month Numbers
The Arithmancy classroom looks very much the same as it did last lesson - neatly-positioned rows of wooden desks and chairs, different colored cushions resting in a pile by the door for you to choose from to match your comfort and liking. The wooden shelves lining the walls are still not filled with Professor Shackleton's collection of books and the two large cardboard boxes that were sitting on the floor in front of the shelving unit last class are still present, unmoved from their original spot.
As you enter the room, you see Professor Shackleton sitting at her desk, her jade-colored robes partially covered by a thick-woollen yellow shawl. On the desk is a lesson plan for today's lesson, the course textbook, and a small pouch that she keeps very close by her left hand. Despite the smile on her face, it is apparent in her appearance and body language that she is not entirely well. Her skin has a slight greenish tinge to it, her shoulders are slightly hunched, and her brow glistens ever so slightly with perspiration. She invites you to choose your seat and open your textbooks to Chapter Twenty. |

"oh i realised it is the four digit calender year so mine is...
9+6+5 = 20
which then reduces to 2
Ross said as he started to work out his personal year number "My personal year number is two" he said.

Macadrian continued, "Just a moment more for you those who still need to calculate their Personal Year numbers. And before I forget, since I've been a bit forgetful as of late, five points each to Cale and Allie for assisting me with my books." Shackleton smiled at the students sorting her books behind her and then turned back to the class.

Cale grinned as Shackleton awarded them both 5 points...they needed it! "Thanks professor, it was no trouble," he told her as he finally located the parchment with his personal year number, 2. Well, that made sense, since he had gotten 1 for last years number and 3 for next years number on his homework. Duh. He could have just remembered that.

Ross said as he started to work out his personal year number "What do i have to do now" he asked. Macadrian clarified, "Actually, when you add each of the numbers to find your Personal Year, they have to be reduced first. Nine and six are already single digits, so those can't be reduced further, but the year 2066 can be reduced. To do so, you add the 2 plus 0 plus 6 plus 6, to get a total of 14. But this number is not a single digit, and thus, can be further reduced again. So we add 1 plus 4 to get 5. Add this five to the original nine and six and you get twenty. Reduce twenty to 2 plus 0, to get two. Your Personal Year number is two." Macadrian said it as if it were the most simple and uncomplex thing, and to her mind it was, but she recognized that for students just beginning to study the subject, this concept of reducing numbers was an odd one.
___________
Macadrian opened and closed her right hand, as she felt a pins and needles sensation. Trying to ignore the odd tingling, Macadrian continued the lesson, "OK, time to start today's actual lesson. Will someone please explain to the class what the Personal Month number represents?"

Victor Sayre Dark Wizard | Fiercely Flirtatious | ILY T&E ♥ | SUPER MOM!!! | *liebkost* Astrid smiled at Professor Shackleton. This was beyond a doubt her most favorite class. Just like last term. She raised her hand excitedly and read out of her textbook, ” The Personal Month Number represents that month's particular influence within the greater Personal Year vibration. In terms of emphasis, the Personal Year is the most significant number, but the Personal Month Numbers have value too. Each and every Personal Month Number has its own special energy, which infuses that month of the year with its unique opportunities and potential.”

Nia flicked through her notes, and smiled as she found the page where she had calculated her personal year number. Stroked her quill against her chin, and copied the number on to the top of her clean sheet of parchment so she could use it in her calculations.

Dominic looked towards Feodore again, after answering the inquiry about the calender year. He shrugged, as he wasn't really sure if he was good with numbers, but guessed he was. "Er... I guess so," he admitted quietly, still glancing at his notebook. "Um..." he started, where was that Personal Year number!? Gah! "Oh... it's one." Quote:

Shackleton smiled at the students sorting her books behind her and then turned back to the class. Woot! The boys in the back were on a roll! Dominic thought amusingly to himself when both him and Feodore earned points. Enough with the eye rolling? What in Merlin's name was she on about? Oh right... That thing! He nodded at her in understanding, waiting for the lesson to continue about something or other.

| JGL ♥ | Wifey + SexyCPR = RAWR. | Co-Inceptor♥ | CHLOCHLO! | Rollie = My Ship Miles sat there, trying to figure out his personal year number. Uuugh, numbers, there was just to many of them.
Miles wrote in his notes.
2066 + 20 + 12 = 2098.
After this, Miles flipped through his textbook to answer the question, he quickly raised his hand. "The personal month number represents that month's particular influence within the greater Personal Year vibration. Persoanl year number is more significant, though." |

2066 + 20 + 12 = 2098. Ross noticed that one of the boys was having problems so he started to help him " you add 2+0+6+6 = 14 but 14 is not a whole number so you add 1 and 4 to get 5, now add 20 and 12 and 5 to get 37 then add 3 and 7 to get 10 then as itis not a single didgit add 1 and 0 together to get 1, your personal year number is 1"

Yey! "Wow. Ok then." He said, lookng back down to write what the boy had said, he knew he would get it wrong.
2+0+6+6 = 14.
1+4 = 5.
20+12+5 = 37.
3+7 = 10.
1+0= 1.
Miles looked at his notes again, properly this time, and smiled. "Cheers dude." He then looked in his textbook to see what the number meant. Widening his eyes slightly, it was scarily accurate. |
