| | |  Arithmancy Lesson Thee: Transit Cycles II & Essence Number
Professor Shackleton-Clark sits at her desk, staring out through the windows of the room as you enter. The sounds of your shuffling feet grab her attention and she greets you with a less vibrant smile than usual. Worry lines crease her forehead and she appears as though she hasn't slept much recently. There are faint purplish circles under her eyes and her hair, though neat, doesn't have its usual luster and shine.
Please take your seats and await for the start of the lesson. | |

Lowering his hand, Jake blinked once and looked round at his surroundings. When did he get here?
Not again...

Fred looked up the answe in his textbook and raised his hand and answered, "I believe you put the 1st and seccond middle name to make one long middle name and you figure out you're mental transit from that.".

Kay put her hand up. "Professor we put the names together and use it as one name." Kay said. She looked at Marie and smiled. She was glad her friend had come to class.

"Very good. All who said that we combine them together as one long middle name are correct and shall receive one point for their houses."
Macadrian stepped around to the front of her desk and perched there with one leg hitched up, "Your mental well-being, your state of mind, and your intellectual focus is revealed in the Mental Transits. When you analyze the results for this cycle, you should always keep this in mind. If your analysis isn't specific to your state of mind and mental well-being, it is incorrect."
Macadrian shifted her position so that all of her weight was on the desk and both legs hung above the floor, "This is much the same for the third transit, the Spiritual Transit, which derives from our last names and reveals your well-being, your growth, and your inner contentment on the spiritual plane. All analyses of this transit should be made with this information in mind.
"Who can tell me how we calculate these transits? The method for both is exactly the same, except that one is from the middle and the other from the last name. Be as specific and detailed as possible."

Rachel took to writing down notes, trying to get word for word what Professor Shackleton-C was saying. Yes, Shacklton-C was nice; she liked it. Raising her hand as the Professor asked a question, the sixth year took a deep breath and answered, "You calculate the transits by dividing the names into individual letters. The value of the letters - according to the Pythagorean Number system - is the amount of years that letter lasts. For example, my middle name is Danielle so I would start with a 'd' which is four - so four years - and then go on to 'a' which is 1 so one year.
"I would carry on until I reached my age with the values of the letters. The last letter I used would be the one influencing me right now. If you've run out of letters and not reached your age, you begin again from the beginning." She lowered her hand, hoping she had managed to get all of the information in and began writing her answer down as part of the note-taking.

"Wouldn't we use the same process we used in our first class?" Mina asked. "Using the Pythagorean Number System to assign each letter a number, 1-9. We then add the numbers together for each name, then simplify it down to a single number. The middle name number would be the Mental transit and the last name number the Spiritual transit." | |

Lowering his hand, Jake made a face and rocked on the back legs of his chair. "Well... I think thuhh-the first part is... right."
...
Hope, anyway.

Raising her hand Marie said "Professor we would figure them the same way we did our physical transit. We use the Pythagorean Number system to determine the value for each letter in our name. Once we get to our current age that will be the letter that tells about us now."
Marie got out some parchment and started figuring out her mental transit so she would be ready ifhe professor asked them what their transit was now.

Evelyn raised her hand, finally finding a distraction. "First you would find the corresponding number for each letter in the name from the Pythagoreon Number System. After you find those numbers, you add them together to get the final number. If the final number is a double digit though, you would reduce it down even more by adding the two numbers in the final number together. Like if it was twenty-five or something. You would add the two and five together to get seven. Or at least down until it is a single digit." She wasn't so good at explaining things, but it sounded alright in her mind. Hopefully everyone else got that. Or maybe she had it wrong? "At least i think that's how you do it." she mumbled to herself, staring back down at the desk. Wasn't there also something that had to do with age or something? Or did that have to do with something completely different? Wow, Arithmancy was confusing...

Hope, anyway. Macadrian was so confused by what Jake had said that she raised one brow, "As I mentioned to your classmate, there are no reductions here. Though you're correct about assigning numbers to the letters according to the Pythagorean system." Quote:
Originally Posted by The1HBIC Raising her hand Marie said "Professor we would figure them the same way we did our physical transit.

Marie got out some parchment and started figuring out her mental transit so she would be ready ifhe professor asked them what their transit was now. [ "Good. One point for your answer."
Professor Shackleton-Clark reemphasized, "Everyone should remember Ms. Rider's explanation because it is precisely correct. In order to determine the length of a particular Transit Cycle, you assign the letter its corresponding number based on the Pythagorean Number system, which is listed in chapter two of your textbook. That number is equivalent to the number of years that that particular Transit lasts.
"We read the Transit Cycles just as we read a name, from left to right. We start with the first letter representing the Transit from birth, or age zero, to whatever its numerical equivalent is. The next letter picks up where the first left off and lasts the number of years that the letter represents. And so on and so forth.
"I will use my own middle name as an example." Professor Shackleton-Clark made her way to the board and printed her middle name followed by the numerical equivalents below.
She explained, "From birth to age one, my Mental Transit was A. The S applied for one year, until I turned two years old. Then the H was my Transit for eight years, from age two to my tenth birthday. Then L from age ten to thirteen. Then a Mental Transit of I for nine years, from age thirteen to twenty-two. From that age to age 27, my Mental Transit was N. Followed by another seven years until birthday 34 where the 'G' was my Mental Transit.
"Since I reached the end of my name, I start back again at the first letter of my middle name. During my 34th year of life until I turned 35, my Mental Transit was an A once again. And for one more year, from age 35 til I became 36, my Mental Transit was an S. And from age 36 until I turn 44, my Mental Transit is 'H."'
Macadrian added a chart to the board:
Quote: Age, Transit
0-1, A (1)
1-2, S (1)
2-10, H (8)
10-13, L (3)
13-22, I (9)
22-27, N (5)
27-34, G (7)
34-35, A (1)
35-36, S (1)
36-44, H (8) "I've stopped this chart in the year I am currently living. I would like you all to draw up your own lists like this for your own middle name and the Mental Transit. Please do the same with your last name for the Spiritual Transit. DO not analyze their meanings yet. We will get to that soon enough."

Tibi smiled. He'd already drawn up these charts after the first lesson just to see what everything looked like. Paging back through his notes, he found them to copy them down again for this lesson, smiling that he didn't have to recount on the spot. His middle name had taken a while to do, so many of the letters had large numbers attached.
Quote:
Mental Transit
R (9) 0-9
E (5) 9-14
G (7) 14-21
I (9) 21-30
N (5) 30-35
A (1) 35-36
L (3) 36-39
D (4) 39-43
Spiritual Transit
P (7) 0-7
R (9) 7-16
Y (7) 16-23
C (3) 23-26
E (5) 26-31

"I knew it had something to do with age..." Evelyn whispered to herself, pulling out a sheet of parchment, her quill, and ink. Smoothing out her parchment, even if it was already perfect in the first place, she turned it slightly in an angle and started on her own name, copying the professor's example.
Mental Transit
Age; Transit
0-9, R (9)
9-15, O (6)
15-16, S (1)
16-21, E (5)
'Hmm, well that was short. Only used half my name! And it's a short name too...' she thought, stopping after only a minute of writing. 'So now my last name?'
Spiritual Transit
Age; Transit
0-6, F (6)
6-9, L (3)
9-15, O (6)
15-24, R (9)
24-29, E (5)
29-30, S (1)
'Guess both stop when I turn fifteen. Seems way easier that way anyways. Hmm...and both numbers are six. And both are on O. That's...kinda weird.' Smiling at her work, Evelyn set her quill down and glanced over to Josh, seeing what he was doing. | |

[/COLOR] Rachel couldn't help but smile. She had gotten the question PRECISELY right! Grinning, she finished writing it down then rested her quill on the parchment and listened intently to Professor Shackleton-C as she gave her own middle name as an example.
Nodding as they were instructed to work out their own Mental and Spiritual Transits, Rachel set to work. Quote:

Looking up, Rachel waited for everyone to be finished so that Professor Shackleton-C could continue.

Marie had already figured out her mental transit, now she just had to do the spiritual one.
Marie's Parchment Code: J, 1 (0 to 1)
A, 1 (1 to 2)
D, 4 (2 to 6)
E, 5 (6 to 11) This is where I am currently at mentally in my life
S, 1 (0 to 1)
A, 1 (1 to 2)
L, 3 (2 to 5)
A, 1 (5 to 6)
Z, 8 (6 to 14) This is where I am currently at spiritually in my life
A, 1 (14 to 15)
R, 9 (15 to 24)

Oh, she had no middle name! At least none that she knew of. Kiri flipped open her notebook, grabbed her quill, and began to scribble, murmuring under her breath as she calculated. Quote:

Feeling a bit disappointed in herself for not getting her answer right, Mina frowned. She thought she had a grasp of it but she did totally forget an essential part of it. She was too much of a perfectionist and it was going to bite her in the end. But she did see her error now. Looking down at her parchment, she went to work.

''Okay. This sounds confusing. But i think i can handle it'' Josh whispered to Rose and took his Aritmancy Textbook out his bag with some parchment and the red phoenix quill. First he had to look for the number system or whatever it was from the book so right after opening it he took a piece of parcment and started to work on it. Quote:

Strangely furious with himself, Jake thought hard and used the textbook to help him out, still cursing himself under his breath. Quote: Spiritual

Wesley, sitting in her usual back corner seat, scrunched up her nose and gnawed on her bottom lip as she lowered her head and began to work. Quote:
MENTAL TRANSIT:
0-1, A (1)
1-5, N (5)
5-12, G (7)
12-17, E (5)
17-20, L (3)
20-29, I (9)
29-32, C (3)
32-33, A (1)
SPIRITUAL TRANSIT:
0-9, R (9)
9-14, E (5)
14-15, A (1)
15-22, G (7)
22-23, A (1)
23-28, N (5)
Tapping her quill's soft, grey feather against her lips, Wesley smiled. Arithmancy made her happy, and Transit Cycles made her even happier. No reducing. No being mean.

Ellie stared blankly at her parchment. She had zoned out until this point, and now she saw everyone else working dutifully. She tapped her quill against her cheek as she struggled to figure out what she was supposed to be doing.
She settled on writing her name on her parchment and arbitrarily assigning numbers to the letters. She didn't understand the purpose of Arithmancy, but she figured writing something down could give the appearance that she had an idea of what was going on. Quote:
E 3
L 5
L 6
E 5
T 3
T 3
E 5
S 6
P 7
E 8
N 2
C 4
E 6
R 4
She did her best to hide her shoddy workmanship. Hopefully no one would notice she hadn't properly done the assignment.
