"Ooooh, hang on," Jake said, raising his hand again as he glanced down at the book. "I think I get it. Maybe Demetria... would be good in a wide range of jobs and paths. She can, maybe adapt? Yeah, adapt to do what she needs to do in life or whatever. Maybe a teacher would be good... I dunno. I'm finding it hard to think of a specific job there. Maybe working with people, as people are different everytime and you have to change ways of dealing with them and stuff."

Grace listened as they were discussing Life Path of 5. She reread the book and thought on it. "--any kind of work that calls for energizing power rather than routine.--" Yeah, an Auror'd suit. "--publicity--" that too. But there were many jobs as well. Grace remained silent as the discussion went on. She was too shy to talk, and since all her theories had already been spoken, she just listened for this lesson and was angry with herself about staying passive all through the lesson.

Rosa Chispa Princessa 05-24-2009 08:42 PM

Herminny wondered why no one mentioned the obvious and said, "I think a good job for Demetria would be an auror cause you have a wide range of skills and you have to be resourcefull with those skills. Also I would imagine being in the position of an auror things are constantly changing everyday cause it's their job to protect the wizarding world and new threats from all over I would imagine pop up all the time so this intense career would be great for a person like Demetria of a number 5 life path."

Professor Shackleton was pleased with the discussion. The students were off to a good start in interpreting the numbers, but she hoped the next part of the lesson would allow them to think more freely and outside the box. "Very good discussion. I'm going to give you all a choice - we can either use another volunteer as an example and the whole class can offer their opinions, or you can all begin to assess your own Life Path number individually. Which would you prefer? Either way, you'll all assess your own number, the question is whether or not you'd prefer another example before getting started on that."

Felixir 05-24-2009 09:41 PM

Raising his hand, pleased he hadn't messed up too much so far that lesson, Jake said, "Professor, as long as the others are okay, I'd like it if we could start to look at our own."

But then, panicking, he hurriedly added, "But I'm not, like, demanding or anything."

fredsgirl81293 05-24-2009 09:43 PM

Demetria looked at her fellow classmates. Either one was fine with her. She had already discovered her life path number. Now all that was left was to figure out what job would be good for her.

Mugglemad 05-24-2009 09:46 PM

Victoria was still trying to figure out her life path number, she looked round to see if anyone else was struck.

DuckyLinJi 05-24-2009 09:57 PM

Lyra also raised her hand high in the air, "professor, i agree with that Hufflepuff over there" she said pointing at a second year male who answered the question first. "we should start looking up our own"

Star-Lord 05-24-2009 10:11 PM

Jule was confused. She did understand it a bit and tried new ways of figuring out her life path.

Lezleighd 05-24-2009 10:18 PM

Hearing that the majority of the class felt like it was time to research their own life path numbers, Satine looked down at her calculations:

December 12, 2056
1+2=3
1+3=4
2+0+5+6=1+3=4

3+4+4=11


She opened her book and turned to the appropriate page to find some more guidance and find her number....

She waited for the assignment to be announced..

^ the current year in the rpg is 2068 :)
 
Mariel listened intently to the opinions of her classmates and jotted down a few notes about Life Path number five in the hopes that it would further clarify her future interpretations. As the professor spoke, Mariel looked up and thought about her question. She was the next person to have volunteered and she really wanted to hear other people's interpretations about her own number. The interpretive part of the class seemed to be the most difficult. And although her opinion didn't seem to be the popular one, the third year raised her hand anyway.

"Well, Professor," she started slowly, keenly aware of the many pairs of eyes on her. "To be honest, since I was the second person to volunteer and, if I'm correct in assuming, would've been the next example, I'd really like to hear everyone's interpretation on my number. Just to get a few more opinions than my own..." Shrugging lightly, she lowered her hand. "Or... whatever, I can do it on my own. Either way is cool with me."

Quote:

ELEVEN (11/2): Much is expected of you with this Master Life Path.
Your path will lead you to illuminate humankind inspirationallly.
Sometimes you will work at the level of the 2 to bring toward you
meaningful associations so that others will find you accessible.
Once you've mastered your lessons, you'll move on to the next
phase - becoming an inpirational leader. You're a born charismatic
leader, magnetic and electric. You'll often find yourself in the
spotlight, as the center of attention. Your mission is to be someone
others look to for illumination and truth, and the truer you are
to Universal principles, the happier and more successful you'll
be on your path. Career/vocation options include any field where
you can be the teacher, diplomat, or speaker or any field were
you'll be in the spotlight and able to work with large groups.
Raising his hand calling the Professor over, so she could check
his work.

Cedric took a parchment an a quill and continue calculating his Life path number.

3/5/2056

3=3
5=5
2+0+5+6=13,1+3=4

3+5+4=12,1+2=3

Final Answer:3


Cedric then raised his hand like others did when they finished their calculations hoping that he get the right answer.

dansgurl 05-25-2009 03:47 AM

Sarah kept quite throughout the lesson. She was not used to that much talking around in lessons. The time for work had arrived and she pulled out her parchment and quill. She looked at the people sitting around her, they all were starting to work on and she dipped her quill and wrote.

12/22/2057

1+2 = 3
2+2 = 4
2+0+5+7 = 14, 1+4 = 5

3+4+5 = 12


Sarah finished her with it and raised her hand just like Cedric, she smiled at him and then wondered whether she got it all right.

Seeking to reassure them, Macadrian explained, "I want to assure those of you with concerns - this class is not a Math course. Our focus will not be so much on the calculations, although we will certainly need to calculate things in order to get to our true purpose - number theory. This class will focus more on interpreting and analyzing the numbers than the math involving them.

"All the math for this term is simple addition and I'm sure you're all capable of that. If you can stay organized and follow my directions, the adding part will be very easy. The challenge will come from analyzing the number you calculate, determining what that number truly represents for the person it applies to. That is the goal of this class. My course can teach you so much about the human condition; you can learn things about your friends, your family, yourself, that you wouldn't have known otherwise."


Professor Shackleton stood up behind her desk and continued, "With that out of the way, let me formally introduce myself and get our first lesson of the year underway. My name is Macadrian Shackleton and I have been teaching Arithmancy here at Hogwarts for, oh let's see, this is my sixth year. Before taking this post, I was a cursebreaker for Gringotts and also did number research, which I still do now actually. My most recent work on the number nine was just published at the beginning of the summer and is available in stores now. But enough about me, let's talk Arithmancy!" Professor Shackleton winked after her shameless plug for her published work and took a step away from her desk.

As she strode toward the front of her desk, Shackleton explained, "This term we are going to be studying the Core, the numbers that tell a person's story and represent a person's essence. Think of these numbers as pieces of your 'light.' When your 'light' is on, you express the positive aspects of a number. When your 'light' is off, you may have the tendency to live in fear and express the negative. Together, we're going to discover the meanings of each of the numbers in your life and discuss in depth the interpretation of each number. Then, it'll be up to you to let your light shine!

"Now, there are four numbers that make up the Core - what are their names? And I want just their names, no explanation about them just yet please."

Sitting alone in the back, Niah shut the book she was reading. She raised her hand answering the question. "Professor, i believe the four numbers that make up the core are the Life Path number, the expression number,as also known as the destiny number, the heart's desire or soul urge number and lastly the personality number." Niah seemed quite confident with her answer with a big grin upon her face.

Ash wrote her her birthday down on her peice of parchment. Let's see she thought tapping her pencil to her lips
1+0=1
1+4=5
2+0+5+7=1+4=5
1+5+5=11
Final answer 11/2

Which equals 11/2 right? Ash thought as she raised her hand waiting for the teacher to come check her work

Sydney quickly jotted down the details about her life path number and set the book aside. She raised her hand, "Prof. I'll like to assess my own Life Path Number. I've found the details about it, now all I need to do is interpret it"

She started to read what she copied from the textbook about the number 8

Quote:

You are efficient, organized, and a hard worker. Serious and goal-minded, you can be depended upon to carry through with obligations. Your tendency is to take on more and more responsibility. Use your ability to delegate authority to keep from becoming over-burdened. Your excellent managerial skills and your drive for success and control will place you at the top of your chosen profession. You can become fascinated with your own power and will be attracted to others of great power. For maximum growth you must remain humble and thankful for the respect and trust that others place in you.

Your challenge is one of right use of power. Be aware of what you are willing to sacrifice to get to the top. Leadership and success are yours when you harness and temper your tremendous drive for achievement and recognition. It will be yours if you are patient and understanding of the real responsibility of being able to exert your will over others.
"Does this mean Professor that I can work in the Ministry Of Magic or at Gringotts or can run my own business?" Sydney said.

XxX.BettingOnMe.XxX 05-25-2009 09:18 AM

"I'd like toassess my own please,"Trixie said with a smile.

Trixie had already solved her master life number. It was a 1. She reached for her quill and scribbled down what it meant, in neat handwriting.

You are very justice oriented and would do well in a career with justice of the peace or a lawyer. Although many cultures view six as sinful, it is the symbol for equilibrium and uniting of the six existences. You are very detailed and thirst for knowledge. You are also very stubborn. Your number is depicted as Justice, as you rule with what is right, rather than what is fair. You have a hard time practicing with what you preach. You are a natural born leader, even if those leadership talents haven't been developed yet. You have the power and self confidence to succeed in life, and your power grows daily. Besides power, you also have a great deal of creativity that enables you to innovate instead of fail. You are a visionary, seeing the big picture instead of all of the trivial little details.

She put her hand up and waited for the teacher to reach her.

Harron Peasley 05-25-2009 09:36 AM

Laura heard the discusion but didn't join in. Maths had always been a strong subject of hers, but this was so utterly CONFUSING!! She glanced at her calculations.

17/11/2057

1+7=8
1+1=2
2+0+5+7=14, 1+4=5
5+2+8=15, 1+5=6

Laura wondered. She didn't have a clue if it was correct, let alone what it meant, so she raised her hand like the others around her.

Mugglemad 05-25-2009 09:39 AM

She wrote down her birthday and tried to figure that sums.

20/11/2057

2+0=2
1+1=2
2+0+5+7= 1+4=5

2+2+5=9

Hurrah, she has finally figured it out, so she put her hand up so the professor can check it.

Slytherin Princess 05-25-2009 09:58 AM

Ruby looked at her parchment and sighed and with her neat handwritting she wrote

Quote:

6/10/2055

3=3
1+0=1
2+0+5+5=12= 1+4=5

5+1+3=9
Ruby looked at her calculations and then went to her book to see if it was right....

Quote:

NINE (9): Your path will lead you to understand the interconnectedness of all things. It's a path of universal love that learns compassion and tolerance. 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. You're a born healer and your healing may take the form of writing, composing, painting, or sculpting - reaching others by truly connecting to them. You'll be learning how to let go, to surrender the self for greater good. Career/vocation options include the arts, international business, education, and health - any line of work designed to help, heal, or humanize.
She copied the text down and then raised her hand for the Professor to check her work.

bone_baud10 05-25-2009 10:48 AM

22/2/2057

2+2=4

0+2=2

2+2+0+5=9 1+4=5

4+2+5= 11

Thomas looked at his answer he thought it was wrong badly but he raised his hand so the teacher can check it.

Mugglemad 05-25-2009 11:12 AM

Victoria writes neatly the text and waited for the professor to check it.

Thomas wasn't sure about his answer but he started writing carefully the text.

harita 05-25-2009 12:50 PM

the professor had asked to check each and every one's individual path number. isabella got down to do her calculations
December 12 2057
12=1+2=3
12=1+2=3
2057=2+0+5+7=14=1+4=5
therefore,3+3+5=11
"oh...i have a 11...but i dont think we have the numbers up till 11," she thought.
"i hope i have done right and not done any stupid silly mistake," she hissed.
maths always used to get on her nerves. though she did well in it but obviously not without hundreds of silly mistakes which led her to do a lot of practice.
"no wait i think i read about doing something with numbers like 11,22"she said to herself and opened her book to the chapter on life path numbers.
"um...i dont think i have understood this", she thought as she read
"but why do we do that? why not add 1 plus 1 to get 2?" she thought. she thought of asking that question to her Professor and raised her hand.
"um...excuse me professor," she called out
