Arithmancy One: Daily Vibes & More About Personal Year, Month, Day Numbers
After what seemed like months had passed, Josephina was finally ready to hold her first lesson of the term. Of course the leaves were only just starting to change color, so it wasn't as if term was truly that far in, but even so. It wasn't her fault that she had several issues interrupting her train of thought. Pulling her thick brown hair back into a fast ponytail, she went to stand by the door with a parchment and quill, as she waited for the students to come.
The desks were arranged in a typical classroom fashion today - neat rows, with chairs that were definitely far more comfortable than they appeared.
Have a seat, the lesson will begin shortly.
ooc: Make yourselves comfortable. We'll officially start in a few hours. Keep the chit-chat to a minimum. Acquaint yourself with the rules, if you haven't done so already. Class started. You're encouraged to participate if you didn't post coming in, but please PRETEND as though you've been here the whole time.
[Hearing another innocent voice asking her to check her work, Josephina strode over to the young second year and looked over her work. "Your soul urge is technically correct. Except well, your surname is tricky with that Y. I'm not sure I would count it as a vowel." She paused contemplating. "But then your life path... you got almost to the end and then when you went and added up the three components, you've made a small adding mistake..." 8 plus 2 plus 3 did not equal 14, after all.
Which meant it was time to move on from the core numbers and onto the rest of the lesson. "Now that we've had that good review of half of your core numbers, which as I mentioned before, they're important to your personal day numbers, because it is when these numbers match your personal day number that you'll feel a stronger connection to those days..."
"In order to find this personal Day number, you'll need to calculate your personal month number. Which in order to calculate that, you'll need to calculate your personal year number. For right now, I'd like you to review either independently or quietly with someone nearby about the calculations for these three numbers, which are discussed in chapters 18-20 of your text." She paused. "We'll reconvene in ten minutes."
ooc: I'll continue the lesson sometime tomorrow evening, hopefully about 7/8pm EST. In the meantime, if you'd like to actually attempt to calculate these numbers, assume the date in the RP is October 17, 2076. If Hadley made corrections to your soul urge/life path numbers, you're welcome to go back and fix them. Thank you <3.
Glenn smack a hand to her forehead, "Urgh, of course." She scratched a line through the mistakes and wrote beneath it, the correct number and meaning.
SPOILER!!: Glenn's Journal

(0+8)+(0+2)+(2+0+6+4)
8+2+(1+2) 8+2+3=14
1+4=5
8+2+3=13
1+3=4
Quote:
FIVE (5): You'll have many forks along your path and you'll welcome each change as a new opportunity with unknown results. Change is key and once you've learned this lesson, you'll move on to the next phase - championing freedom. You're progressive and super-resourceful, which make you equally good at many different trades. Career/vocation options include working with the public, advertising, publicity, or sales - any kind of work that calls for energizing power rather than routine. Travel is well-suited to you
Quote:
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.
Glenn read over her new addition to her journal and nodded, yes, she guessed it made more sense than her last one. Perhaps the things she related to with number five were just a coincident. Now that she thought hard about it, advertising didn't really appeal to her. Education and Business, that was cool! And Glenn guessed she was pretty organised, with her journal and all.
With what the Professor had said about the Y maybe not counting as a vowel in her name, Glenn decided to make another calculation. She dipped her quill in some ink and started below her old calculation.
EIGHT (8): You want to be the boss or at last have power of some kind in the world. It is difficult for you to comprehend the meotions of others and you prefer to stick to business over emotional affairs. You want to feel important in what you perceive to be the real world. In matters of the heart and friendship, you place business over emotional closeness. You should look for a stong, capable mate who is equal to your ambitions. But usually, you're just too busy for romance and true friendship.
No, no, no! That was not correct. "Uh-Professor? I tried taking away the Y and I came up with this?" Glenn frowned down at her journal, that couldn't be correct! She wasn't like that! "I think the Y counts, because I am NOT like that at all."
At the next instruction, Glenn looked around the room searching for a partner. She'd go with Sophie, but she seemed to be making these minor mistakes all the time. It would be cool to work with an older student, they'd know every to know about Arithmancy.

"No... your middle name ... in your soul urge number. You've made a minor calculating error there." So in other words, her soul urge number was wrong. "Otherwise, it's good."
Beezus moved away when Professor Hadley headed to see her work, she wanted her to get a clear look at her parchment for she was sure that it had errors. She was always slow with numbers, as much as she was slow with memorizing incantations. When Professor Hadley pointed out her mistake, her face couldn't help but scrunch into a small frown. See? Very careless Beatrice, she told herself.
Oh well..She nodded at the Professor and reverted her attention back on her parchment. Time to recalculate.
Feeling a bit more careful than a while ago, she rested her chin on her hand which she placed on top of the desk. "Yeah, one plus five is six.." Beezus nodded as she tried searching for errors on her recalculation.
When she couldn't find any more, she took out her Arithmancy book and started scanning through the pages to find the meaning for her Soul Urge and Life Path Number. "Let's see...Soul Urge..is 6.." she mumbled as her index finger traced down the words and numbers on the textbook. "Ah, here 'ya go."
Quote:
SIX (6): Three things most important to you are beauty, harmony, and home. Understanding, loyalty, devotion, affection and commitment are top priorities. You want to protect, nurture, and love your family and home. In matters of the heart and friendship, you are the idealistic romantic and friend. In love, you want to be committed and love deeply. In friendship, you want lifelong companionship and confidences.
Upon finishing, she smirked. Sure, she considers harmony and home as important things. But..beauty? "No..must be wrong.." The eaglet can't help but comment. Aside from that part, she gotta agree with the remaining part. Yeah, surely she'd fall in love someday and she'd love that person deeply. That was just her. And in friendship. It was also true, she really does treasure her friends and wants them to stay in her life long.
Afterwards, she then searched for the meaning of her Life Path Number.. "Err--what was my Life Path Number again?" she murmured as she rummaged through the parchments on her desk. "Oh. It's 3.."
Quote:
THREE (3): Your path will entice you to be both spontaneous and creative, to live your life with joy and imagination. You will learn the benefits of optimism and enthusiasm, and how to express your emotions and exuberance. Once you've mastered these concepts, you'll move on to the next phase - inspiring others. You're a born communicator and your wit and lightheartedness will help others see the joy in any situation. Artistic, creative, and articulate are words to describe someone with a 3 Life Path. Career/vocation options should relate to anything artistic - writing, speaking, designing, illustrating, dancing, etc.
"Artistic, creative and articulate? Me?" Beezus chuckled. She just can't describe herself as that. But after reading it, she felt like she must live up to it. "Uh-huh..but no dancing.." she added after seeing the 'd' word.
Just as she had finished looking for the meanings, it so happened that Professor Hadley was also done helping the other students who sought her assistance. Beezus listened as the Arithmancy Professor told them that their calculations of the Core Numbers were just the beginning and that their real lesson was all about finding their Personal Year Number. Great, more solving. She thought. She needed a partner for that. She just couldn't work alone. Not when numbers are concerned. Looking around, she said, "Err--anyone wanna partner up?" Wasn't directed to anyone but she was hoping to be partners with someone who had a bond with numbers.
"Now, back to the soul urge number. As you've already talked a lot about the life path, the soul urge number, or your heart's desire is just that. It's what you desire. Your true motivation behind that life path. Behind your destiny. What you value." Fina explained, hopefully in terms that they could understand.
"To calculate this number, you use your full name on your birth certificate, and assign the corresponding number from the chart in chapter two to each vowel in your name." She wrote her own full name on the board to demonstrate:
"One that it is important to remember is that you figure out each name separately, reducing to a single digit, before combining the names to find the single-digit root number." She continued. "If you remember from last term, we talked about PEDMAS, the order of operations. Just think of that when doing your calculations."
"Now, because I know some of you are going to ask," Josephina said as she addressed the class once more. "Why I didn't include in the Y in my calculations? This is because the Y in my surname does not act as a vowel. If it acts as a vowel, then it is one. If it does not act as a vowel, then do not include it in your soul urge number calculations. Go ahead and calculate this number and your life path number; Kurumi will be putting an example of that calculation on the board."
Gah! Kendra sighed in exasperation, her quill crossing through her calculations for what seemed the millionth time, she relaxed, just for a moment, trying to get her head back ready to have another go, and new try. She wondered if every Ravenclaw was smart at numbers, or she just wasn't one? She made a note to look at some famous Ravenclaws sometime in a book, learn more about her house, as she hadn't had much time to yet this year.
She had listened to everything Professor Hadley had told her, yet it still made no sense. Kendra picked up her quill and moved the parchment down, readying herself for another try.
After working it out, Kendra put her hand up, feeling relieved wanting to know if she was correct, and what it all meant. She had found it relativly difficult, but with anything, it was all trial and error until you got it correct.
ooc: What is this textbook your all referring to? I'm a little confused

Alyssa turned to Minnie, her fellow housemate. "Uh....Minnie would you like to work with me on this next part of the assignment?" Minnie was smart and Alyssa definitely needed someone with her brains to help her get through this lesson.
Just as she had finished looking for the meanings, it so happened that Professor Hadley was also done helping the other students who sought her assistance. Beezus listened as the Arithmancy Professor told them that their calculations of the Core Numbers were just the beginning and that their real lesson was all about finding their Personal Year Number. Great, more solving. She thought. She needed a partner for that. She just couldn't work alone. Not when numbers are concerned. Looking around, she said, "Err--anyone wanna partner up?" Wasn't directed to anyone but she was hoping to be partners with someone who had a bond with numbers.
"I'll partner up with you!" Glenn smiled and pulled up a chair next to the girls desk, she had brought her journal with her, along with her quill as well. "I'm Glenn," She said, "Would you mind if borrow your ink?"
Glenn had already started her calculation of her Personal Year Number at her own desk. She looked down at the half-finished calculation and swept her hair back from her eyes.

Oi. A badger volunteered to pair up with her. When the girl sat beside her, Beezus moved over to give her a bigger space while her hands slowly pulled her parchment and other things to her side of the desk. "Hi Glenn. I'm Beezus." she introduced herself too.
The eaglet opened her Arithmancy textbook to look for the Personal Year Number section when Glenn asked if she could use her ink. "Sure." Beezus answered as she pushed her inkwell lightly near her. "So err--do you know how to solve for the Personal Year Number? We have to find it first before calculating for the Personal Month Number."

"Nice to meet you Beezus." Glenn dipped her quill into Beezus' ink and continued her calculation, "Yeah, I think I know." Glenn said, looking up from her work and smiling at the Ravenclaw.
Glenn flicked to the Personal Year Number chapter and reread the instructions, she scribbled a her calculation in her journal.
SPOILER!!: Glenn's Journal
August 2, 2076
(8+2)+(2+0+7+6)
(1+0)+(1+5)

Glenn underlined her Personal Year Number in her journal and dragged her finger down the page in the textbook until she found her number. She found her number and copied down the definition in her book.
SPOILER!!: Glenn's Journal 2
SEVEN (7): The 7 year is a year to take alone time and reexamine your goals, relationships, and the direction of your life. You may be drawn toward spiritual studies during this year. This is a time of body purification, cleansing and detoxifying. The 7 governs legal matter, so it may also be the year you settle any matter where legal papers are involved. No matter what, you'll need and seek solitude because this is the time for aloneness and quiet. This time is favorable for you to take a sabbatical and listen to your inner guidance. Seek counsel from yourself and from others to learn about what will aid you in finding peace.
Whatever that meant. She placed her quill down and looked up at Beevus, "Do you need help or...?" Glenn said.

The Gryffindor scooted his desk to sit against the Prefect's and then he plopped his textbook back out in the center of his desk, listening as she read the definition of the Personal Year Number.
"Sounds easy enough..." August grabbed his quill and began to scratch out numbers onto his parchment. "I will go ahead and try mine first."
Birthday Month: November
Birthday day: 19
Current Year: 2076
NINE (9): The nine year is a time of reward for all the effort you've made in the past eight years, a conclusion of your nine-year cycle, so the seeds you planted in your 1 year are now harvested. As this year is the ending of a cycle, its energy is about letting things go and dreaming about the next nine years. It is time to revise, dream, and envision how you would like your life to proveed, to allow things to conclude, and to wait, because the beginning you sense coming is next year. Also, this is a good money year because your efforts of selfless giving are favored during this time. (But beware, the inverse is also true!) This is also a time for healing and dreaming on both a figurative and literal level. It is a tme to forgive and forget and bring closure on every level. Follow your intuition and seek to perfect what was begun eight years before.
August finished his calculation and then showed it to Kurumi. "Ok so I got the number 9 as my personal year number and it says a lot about dreaming, revising, and preparing for the next 9 years of my life." He then furrowed his eyebrows in concentration. "But it also says to seek to perfect what was begun 8 years ago...I was only 7." he chuckled.
"Ok so you go ahead and start working on your's I guess, and I will look up the Personal Month Number calculation." Auggie flipped the pages of his textbook and finally found it. "So, it says here that we need to add our newly calculated Personal Year Numbers with the reduced calender month number that Professor Hadley has given us." he said with a final nod.
Again not too hard since they had already done the work to get one of their numbers.
Kurumi watched as August did his calculations and read the description along with him. "I guess...you might need to work out some of your karmic numbers to see what it is that you need to perfect," Kurumi shrugged. She wasn't entirely sure if that was true or not, but that sort of made sense. "Or...did something happen when you were seven?"
Kurumi turned her gaze to her own parchment. Time for her to work with some numbers as well.

= 5 FIVE (5): This is a year of personal transition, a time of change in attitude, work, residence and direction. Traveling is favorable during this year and you may find yourself doing it often. Because the 5 is curious, you may find yourself exploring metaphysics, investigating some new topic or taking classes. It is time for you to take some risks and make big changes in your life. Now is the time to move, switch careers, or try unconventional things you haven't yet tried. Be curious and investigate new things of interest to you.
Reading the description, Kurumi nodded her head and a small smile tickled the edges of her lips. That...seemed about right.
She looked up as August when he found the instructions for their Personal Month Number. That didn't seem so bad either. "Alright, I'll give that a try then," she nodded, moving her hand a bit further down her parchment.
Quote:

5+(1+0) = 5+1 = 6 SIX (6): A 6 Personal Month brings a sense of duty and responsibility, in which you may find yourself handling family issues, visiting relatives, or taking care of family members. You'll likely wish to stay home and be with your family or linger around your home doing little projects - like working in a garden, painting your room or home, and finding other ways to beautify your living space. And don't forget to spend quality time with your family this month.
Kurumi frowned. She did not like how all her calculations were coming up with results about her family. Yes, she knew that her mother was making more frequent trips to the hospital, but her father was constantly assuring her that it was nothing but a persistent chest cold.
So...why were Selina's visions and now her Arithmancy answers implying the opposite.
Trying to cover up her concern, Kurumi looked at August. "And just how am I supposed to spend quality time with my family when I am in school?"
Shrugging all other thoughts off with a graceful roll of her shoulders, Kurumi flipped through her book for the final step of their calculations. "Alright, to find out Personal Day Number, it says you need to add the current calendar day to your Personal Month Number." Once again, that seemed pretty straight forward. Kurumi checked her planner for the date and jotted it down on her parchment. "Seventeenth, today's date," she said with a wink.
Since this calculation didn't seen too bad, Kurumi went ahead and did hers, covering up her answer until August finished his. They could reveal their answers together.
SPOILER!!: parchment
SPOILER!!: you didn't think it would be THAT easy did you? :P
SPOILER!!: nope
SPOILER!!: *waves at you*
SPOILER!!: persistent, I like <3
(17)+6 = (1+7) + 6 = 8 + 6 = 14 = 1 + 4
= 5 FIVE (5): A 5 Personal Day Number is a day to make a change, network, and promote.

Whatever that meant. She placed her quill down and looked up at Beevus, "Do you need help or...?" Glenn said.
When Glenn dipped her quill on Beezus' inkwell, the young eaglet took the liberty to scan the book for the lesson they were currently tackling. "Here it is. Chapter Eighteen. The Personal Year Number." she muttered as she started reading.
"In summary, the Personal Year number tells you where to focus your energy for each year. The Personal Year Number indicates what you must face and accomplish to live in harmony with the natural flow of the year." Beezus nodded and turned towards her partner. At that same time, Glenn showed her her own calculation. Beezus looked at Glenn's solution then back to the text book and vice versa. "Oh. I see. In order to get your Personal Year Number, you've got to add month of your birth, the date and the current year. Isn't that right?" she asked the younger badger.
Without waiting for her partner's response, Beezus grabbed a parchment, the same one that she had used to solve her Life Path and Soul Urge Number on. "Hmmm..let's see.. It's year 2076." Then she jotted it down and started calculating.
"I've got six.." The eaglet said as she turned to face Glenn. "Can you kindly check if I have any errors?" Because she was never going to review her work.
Hearing another student ask for her to check her work, Fina strode over to the young Gryffindor and looked it over. "Correct, yes, on both numbers, but remember PEDMAS in regards to the calculations. Reduce the components to a single digit before you add them together." She pointed to her Life path number in particular.
"Oh, right! Thank you, Professor!" Tayla did miss that one. She went over her parchment again and corrected her mistake.

Tayla turned her book to the chapters the professor mentioned.
"Your Personal Year Number is a number that describes what is happening for you, personally, this year..." Tayla read quietly to herself. "The formula for calculating the Personal Year number is..."
Taking her quill again, she decided to practice a little.

8+7+6=21
2+1=3
Personal Year Number = 3
"I think that's correct..." Tayla thought.
Looking back at her textbook, she read what '3' meant. "A 3 year is one of the most difficult to comprehend, mainly because while the 3 is supposed to be about fun, socializing, and happiness, people often experience agonizing feelings..." Hmmm... "In a 3 year, creative juices are more freely flowing than in other years..." That sounded nicer. "More than any other year, this is the time to use your imagination!"
Tayla thought briefly about what she had just read and decided to continue with the next chapters. She read about each number and proceeded with her calculations. Tayla could show them to Professor Hadley when she needed to.

calendar day = 17 = 1+7 = 8
personal month number = 4
Personal day number = 8+4 = 12 1+2 = 3
Three = a day to be creative, to be with friends, and to communicate
"I hope I did all these correctly," Tayla thought and then raised her hand, wondering how to correctly relate all the numbers. "Professor, is there a proper way to interpret the meanings of these numbers together?"
Which meant it was time to move on from the core numbers and onto the rest of the lesson. "Now that we've had that good review of half of your core numbers, which as I mentioned before, they're important to your personal day numbers, because it is when these numbers match your personal day number that you'll feel a stronger connection to those days..."

She paused. "We'll reconvene in ten minutes."
Ira was relieved to know that she hadn't made any more silly mistakes in calculations again. "Thank you professor!" she said and proceeded with the lesson. Okay.. so now they had to calculate their Personal Day, month and year number. Were there numbers like those even? Well, it certainly looked so!
She looked in her textbook and read the chapter quietly. So as the professor had said, for finding Day number, month number was needed. Which in order to calculate that, personal year number was needed. So that meant, her first task would be finding her personal year number. She looked in her textbook for instructions. She started her calculations on a fresh parchment:
Quote:
Personal year number
Formula:
Personal Year Number = month of birth + day of birth + current calendar year
=(7)+(11)+(2076)
=(7)+(2)+(15)
=(7)+(2)+(6)
=(15)
=6
Okay, so her personal year number was 6. Now to the next one...

Zhenya was READY for numbers! She dipped her quill back into the ink and began her calculation...
She quickly read in the text book, and noted, that the Personal Year Number represents what would personally be happening in Zhenya's year.
Quote:
Personal Year Number = month of birth + day of birth + current calendar year

TEXTBOOK ONE: This is the year to begin any project because the flow is with you. It is also a time for independence, bravery, taking charge, and applying yourself. Now is the time to start anew because everyting you do now will affect your future and your entire nine-year cycle. It is time to focus on yourself - change your image, self-improve, and/or focus on your personal goals. More than any other year, it's the time to become acquainted with the needs of your self.
Okay - now for the Personal Month Number! She worked out this worked with the year number. So, now to calculate that one!
Quote:
Personal Year Number + reduced calendar month number = Personal Month Number
So, she knew her personal year number was 1, but she needed to reduce the calendar month from that.. okay!
This month was October, therefore her formula was
(1) + (10)
(1) + (1+0)
(1) + (1)
=2
Quote:
TEXTBOOK TWO: A 2 Personal Month requires attention to detail and is a time for attending to all the bits and pieces of your life. It is also the Personal Month when the seeds you planted during the 1 Personal month will begin to take root. You will likely find yourself seeking the assistance and advice of others, and work with them cooperatively on their projects. Cooperation is the key to this month because it is a month for relationships and paying attention to others after the "me first" energy of the 1 month.
OKAY - final one! Time to work out her Personal Day Month... She read this number was only the focus of the day, whilst also taking into account the year and month. But anyway...
Quote:
Calendar day + Personal Month
Okay - so today was the 17th, and her personal month number was two - so they were her numbers
(2) + (17)
(2) + (1+7)
(2) + (8)
=10
(1+0)

Quote:
TEXTBOOK ONE: A 1 Personal Day Number is a day to begin things and to focus on yourself.
She looked up at the Professor and raised her hand, "I think it is correct... but would you mind checking it please?" she asked, looking back down to it. She loved it when things fell in place, she just hoped it was right.

Now that Ira had calculated her Personal year number, she could move on to personal month number and personal day number. Sjhe looked into her textbook for instructions and started to calculate:
Quote:
Formula:
Personal Month Number = Personal Year Number + reduced calendar month number
=(6)+(1)
=7
So there, she had got her personal month number. Should she check for its interpretation right now? She decided, she would do that after calculating her personal day number too.
So she calculated her day number:
Quote:
Formula:
personal day number=Personal Month number+Current Date
=(7)+(17)
=(7)+(8)
=(15)
=6
So finally she had finished her calculations. So now she could look up for the meanings!
Oh good, someone who actually knew how to use PEDMAS. Nodding in satisfaction at the first number calculations, Fina frowned at the girl's Life Path Number. For one, the one she crossed out was incorrect, and two, when she redid it, she changed the day of her birth. "Um... Ness? Your addition is wrong no matter which day you were born on. And please, I'm trusting you to use your correct day of birth and not change it to get a certain life path number. That defeats the purpose of Arithmancy." She gave the redhead a stern look, basically telling her to do it correctly.
Which meant it was time to move on from the core numbers and onto the rest of the lesson. "Now that we've had that good review of half of your core numbers, which as I mentioned before, they're important to your personal day numbers, because it is when these numbers match your personal day number that you'll feel a stronger connection to those days..."
"In order to find this personal Day number, you'll need to calculate your personal month number. Which in order to calculate that, you'll need to calculate your personal year number. For right now, I'd like you to review either independently or quietly with someone nearby about the calculations for these three numbers, which are discussed in chapters 18-20 of your text." She paused. "We'll reconvene in ten minutes."
ooc: I'll continue the lesson sometime tomorrow evening, hopefully about 7/8pm EST. In the meantime, if you'd like to actually attempt to calculate these numbers, assume the date in the RP is October 17, 2076. If Hadley made corrections to your soul urge/life path numbers, you're welcome to go back and fix them. Thank you <3.
Ness? The Hufflepuff looked up at the sound of her name, and to be honest she was rather shocked to see Hadley standing by her. Since when had Hadley called her Ness?...she usually adressed her by Miss Dixon, not that she minded of course, to be honest she liked Ness more, it made her feel more herself around the Arithmancy Professor.
When people said that Hufflepuff's were good finders, they trully meant it, because Hadley did seem to figure out what Nessie had done rather easily. Correction? Nessie checked her crossed out calculation, hoping that somehow the correction she would have to fix, would make her Life Path number a three, but sadly nope it didn't. She bit her lip, and then redid the whole calculation, because she sort of had to, and this time she wouldn't change her birth date, because she could see Hadley didn't want her to. Also she needed to make her Head of House proud right? She needed to show her how well behaved and clever her badgers were.
Taking out a new piece of parchment, Nessie started to rewrite her calculation.

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.
She disliked this answer even more than the previous one, but whatever she gave up. It was better to be truthful than lie to herself right? And even if this meant she wouldn't get to be the dancer she wanted to be...Meh..it was all part of life, and there wasn't much she could do to change it.
She listened to what they were moving onto next and sort of just sat, she didn't pick up a quil, nor did she look at her book. She just sat and sort of frowned. This Arithmancy was just to confusing, and she was at the verge of giving up, but she only stayed because of Hadley. She loved Hadley..she loved her even at times like a mother, and it wasn't like she hated Arithmancy. She just wished she was more cleverly suited for the subject, because it did seem like very exciting, but only once you understood it.
Ira, having calculated all her personal numbers, set to work finding the meanings of the numbers.
First she decided to look up the meaning of her Personal Year Number meaning. It was number 6. She looked in her textbook and it said:
SPOILER!!: Interpretation
Quote:
SIX (6): This is the year for elderly parents, in which you'll be needed by your family more this year than any other year. It is also a year that requires you to balance your domestic life with your work life, as romantic relationships move to the forefront and you'll be shown many opportunities to get your work life in balance. It is time for you to pay attention to your family responsibilities, nurture and seve thos you care about. Balance your needs with the needs of others, while being generous and sympathetic.
This was the year when she was needed by her family the most? Sop shouldn't that mean that she should be with her family right now? But of course it wasn't possible.. And romantic relationship? Uh-huh! No, she was definitely wasn't thinking about relationships! But one thiong she could do, that was being generous and sympathetic..
Then came her Personal Month number which was 7. So what did it mean?
SPOILER!!: Interpretation
Quote:
SEVEN (7): A 7 Personal Month is a time for rest, relaxation, and introspection. You may feel the need to be alone to reflect upon your life and decide you want to schedule a retreat. Seeking solitude is natural during a 7 month, when you may want to reevaluate where you've been and where you're going. Let nature restore you - visit the woods, the mountains, or the ocean. Curl up with a good book and spend some alone time. This is the time to pay attention to your need to be by yourself and have time to think.
This certainly seemed to reflect her mindset at the moment. She really wanted to be alone, walking through a quiet forest and humming gently to herself. But unfortunately, even this wasn't possible for her! She possibly couldn't miss her studies!
Then came her Personal Day Number which was 6. It meant that
SPOILER!!: Interpretation
Quote:
SIX (6): A 6 Personal Day Number is a day to pay attention to work, family, or home.
So that meant, that today was her day to pay attention to her work. She had been doing that. She had attended her classes and was going to do her homework in the evening.
There, she had finally completed all her calculations and interpretations. She then leaned back against her bench, and waited for the lesson to proceed.

Keefer turned to chapter eighteen and began to skim the information on Personal Year Number. It didn't seem all that difficult to calculate. He looked over at Treyen. "What d'you reckon? Should we give it a try?"
Without even waiting for an answer, he began to scribble. His month was 10, his date was 27, and the current year was 2076. So 37 plus 2076... that's 2,113. Wait, are we supposed to use the reduction method? "Treyen, are we supposed to reduce components first? The instructions aren't very clear." He tried that next.
1 + 9 + 15 = 10 + 6 = 16 = 7
"Yes, that's gotta be it. Because if I reduce 2,113... Wait, I still get 7. Is that normal? You try it and see what happens."
Aurora had been struggling a lot with the whole maths thing... she hated numbers... a lot. She'd only just figured out her life path number when Professor Hadley started talking about the personal day number. What? She hadn't even had time to think about her soul urge number. She was writing so quickly that she didn't even notice that she now had ink on the end of her nose from a little splash when she reloaded her quill. She took a deep breath before attempting the personal day number, her brow furrowed in concentration.

Okay... so she was pretty sure she had caught up... Wow... this was difficult!!!! She checked and re-checked all of her calculations, her finger running over the explanations in the text book. Okay... they seemed alright... She put down her quill and started to look up what each of the numbers meant in her text book.

Amelia was glad that her calculations were right, because it meant that even though she felt that she was about to fall asleep at any moment she was still doing the math right.
WHOO! Go her. :33
She listened as Hadley went on about Personal Days/Months/Years and when it was mentioned that she could work with someone, she looked around the classroom until she spotted Nessie.
Getting up, she moved over to an empty desk beside her friend. "Partners?"
oh thanks Merlin, Jezzabelle thought as Professor Hadley had looked over her shoulder and then walked away without a word. She must have done it all right then. Right, moving on....to even more math. She looked it all over in her book and decided to study independently. It was that she like to study alone, she just preferred to do it alone for now.
It seemed easy enough. A lot of work but easy enough. She decided to work on one section at a time. First the Personal Year Number.

Sigh. For what reason would her family need her? She was never needed before. What would make this year so different. And romantic relationships. She wasn't really all that into dating. Balance your needs with the needs of others... Well then, that didn't seem so complicated did it...

Kurumi watched as August did his calculations and read the description along with him. "I guess...you might need to work out some of your karmic numbers to see what it is that you need to perfect," Kurumi shrugged. She wasn't entirely sure if that was true or not, but that sort of made sense. "Or...did something happen when you were seven?"
Kurumi turned her gaze to her own parchment. Time for her to work with some numbers as well.
Reading the description, Kurumi nodded her head and a small smile tickled the edges of her lips. That...seemed about right.
She looked up as August when he found the instructions for their Personal Month Number. That didn't seem so bad either. "Alright, I'll give that a try then," she nodded, moving her hand a bit further down her parchment.
Kurumi frowned. She did not like how all her calculations were coming up with results about her family. Yes, she knew that her mother was making more frequent trips to the hospital, but her father was constantly assuring her that it was nothing but a persistent chest cold.
So...why were Selina's visions and now her Arithmancy answers implying the opposite.
Trying to cover up her concern, Kurumi looked at August. "And just how am I supposed to spend quality time with my family when I am in school?"
Shrugging all other thoughts off with a graceful roll of her shoulders, Kurumi flipped through her book for the final step of their calculations. "Alright, to find out Personal Day Number, it says you need to add the current calendar day to your Personal Month Number." Once again, that seemed pretty straight forward. Kurumi checked her planner for the date and jotted it down on her parchment. "Seventeenth, today's date," she said with a wink.
Since this calculation didn't seen too bad, Kurumi went ahead and did hers, covering up her answer until August finished his. They could reveal their answers together.

August looked as Kurumi looked over his calculation and he shook his head with a confused look on on is face. "I don't really remember what happened when I was seven." Nope he couldn't really think of anything at the moment, he may have to owl his parents about that one.
As Kurumi did her personal month number Auggie read over her shoulder but seeing as her's seemed to have more personal meaning than his, the Gryffindor didn't really bring it up. Family trouble wasn't something to discuss in the middle of class.
Next the Prefect explained to him the personal day calculation, but he had yet to do his personal Month one!! "Hold on just a second, let me finish mine." He said teasing her and quickly doing that calculation.
Personal Year Number + reduced calendar month number = Personal Month Number
9+(1+0)= 10
(1+0) = 1
SPOILER!!: Number ONE
ONE (1): A 1 Personal Month has got a lot of bite and will make you sit up and take notice as you experience a month of beginnings. You'll be tackling new projects, getting this rolling ahead, taking charge and taking over. This is a month to set goals and determine your intentions.
Hmmm...Auggie liked this one ok. He would be taking control? That sounded nice. When he looked up Kurumi had already worked on her Personal Day number it seemed and was hiding it from him. "I'm not going to copy it." he chuckled. "Fine you can't see mine until it's finished either then." Covering his parchment from her view August continued to finish the last calculation Professor Hadley had talked about.

"Ok Kurumi, you show you calculation firstm because well ladies first." he grinned cheekily.
Keefer turned to chapter eighteen and began to skim the information on Personal Year Number. It didn't seem all that difficult to calculate. He looked over at Treyen. "What d'you reckon? Should we give it a try?"
Without even waiting for an answer, he began to scribble. His month was 10, his date was 27, and the current year was 2076. So 37 plus 2076... that's 2,113. Wait, are we supposed to use the reduction method? "Treyen, are we supposed to reduce components first? The instructions aren't very clear." He tried that next.
1 + 9 + 15 = 10 + 6 = 16 = 7
"Yes, that's gotta be it. Because if I reduce 2,113... Wait, I still get 7. Is that normal? You try it and see what happens."
Aaaand...Treyen didn't even get a chance to answer this particular question, but really, Keefer probably knew his answer was going to be a positive one and that's why he went ahead and...did some calculations of his own.
First, he needed to check what Keefer was saying, which is why he went for the textbook again.
"No, no, I think you did it right. The reduced numbers are the ones we use." He said, nodding as he looked the Captain. The Hufflepuff Captain, of course. "Oh." It was also seven? "Let's see." It was his turn for calculations now...
SPOILER!!: Treyen's parchment
Personal Year Number
Month of Birth: April = 4
Day of Birth: 10 = 1
Current year: 2076
TWO (2): This is the year to rewind and regroup, not a time for getting things done. Listen to others and even defer to them this year because you will be more sensitive to the nuances of relationship and needs of others. Unlike last year, this year your own needs will be secondary now. It's time for you to relate to others, be adaptable and mantain balance. Cooperation is the lesson, so use the year to listen, be sensitive and devote time to others. Compromise and seek harmony in all that you do; take things slowly and you will likely find a quiet, soothing rhythm to life and may even truly experience a sense of tranquility.
Eh...okay. That was...yeah. He scribbled on his notes the other calculation Keefer had made, without reducing the numbers...2076 + 10 + 4 = 2090 = 11 = 2. And he blinked. "Well, I get the same number either way." So, did it really matter? The reducing bit?
"For the Personal Month, though, we have to use the previous number...and add it to the reduced number of the current month." Which was 10, because it was October. Got it.

THREE (3): A 3 Personal Month stimulates your creativity, where ideas flow in abundance. This is a time to add a creative flair as you are expressing yourself emotionally, verbally, and artistically, especially on issues that you've been reluctant to mention. The 3 is considered a lucky number, so during a 3 Personal Month, things may be easier for you. This Personal Month is a good time for play, both personally an with others. Go shopping, go out to lunch, and buy a gift for yourself and others. This is a good time to play with color and design - so redesign your bedroom, expand your wardrobe, and do whatever gets your creative juices flow.
GO OUT TO LUNCH? You're kidding, right? After that Muggle Studies dinner he's been eating less than before!
But...whatever. It was a good thing that Bentley had sent them to sing and tell a story to the Fire Seed Bush, then.
Treyen cleared his throat before moving on to the Personal Day Number. "Okay, for the last number we use the Personal Month Number and add the reduced number of...well, today." What was today? 16? 17? OH. Yeah, 17.

And he laughed. This was extremely correct, considering Arithmancy relied on details, didn't it?

As Alyssa waited for someone to partner up with her, she decided to start calculating the her Personal Day Number, her Personal Month Number and her Personal Month Number.
So she first reviewed chapters 18-20 in her textbook, and once she was sure about how to calculate them to get the Personal Day, she started working on the first set of number, the Personal Year Number

Now she had the numbers that the Professor had wanted them to calculate, Alyssa sat back to see who was willing to partner with her because she would love to help and discuss, someone else's Personal Day Number.
Amelia was glad that her calculations were right, because it meant that even though she felt that she was about to fall asleep at any moment she was still doing the math right.
WHOO! Go her. :33
She listened as Hadley went on about Personal Days/Months/Years and when it was mentioned that she could work with someone, she looked around the classroom until she spotted Nessie.
Getting up, she moved over to an empty desk beside her friend. "Partners?"
Laying her head on her desk, Nessie remained doing nothing, she didn't want to try the next few calculations, as she felt it make her look silly, but it was when she heard someone standing right next to her that she sort of changed her mind. "Mia!" she said a little excited to see the older badger, that was now sitting next to her.
She gave the girl a little nod. "Yeah sure." Maybe since Mia was quite a clever girl, she could help Ness out with all the things that confused her. "I'm just warning you..this Arithmancy doesn't really agree with me." You know...just to make sure Mia knew, that Ness wasn't the greatest at these things.
Now where to begin, Ness looked back at her textbook and read over a few of the notes. "I think..we have to start with the Personal year number, and then we do the other two...and then after that we discuss..I think" she nodded in agreement with herself as she was sure that, thats what Hadley had said. So getting to work she started scribbling her calculations.

EIGHT (8): An 8 year is the time to discover your own power, to become th boss and deal with authority, as people look to you this year for your executive ability. You'll be challenged to take the lead, stand up as an authority, and empower yourself. It is time for yout to be thrust into the leader role and to tend to business. Administrate something like the family estate or a school or company event this year because this is the year to deal with the energy of power, money, and success, and to achieve something extraordinary. Maximize your opportunity this year. Money flows toward you in an 8 year, as long as you're working for the good of all and not just for personal profit; but it flows our at almost the same rate. Manage your financial affairs well this year and do not get carried away with extravagance.
Once she had finished with her first calculation, she checked it and bit her lip hoping it was iright. The answer she got did sort of make sense, but only a little. Twiddling with her fingers she waited for Mia to finish so they could discuss both their first calculations.
Seeing a pout in the direction of a Ravenclaw, Josephina hurried over to investigate. Hazel eyes scanned the parchment and almost immediately, she discovered a couple of errors. "Two things, dear. In your first name, you missed a vowel." Because Louisa had a lot of vowels in it. "And in your middle name, the Y does act as a vowel, I believe." So in other words, if you're unhappy with your number, it's probably because it's not yours.
...huh? Louisa pulled the parchment toward her quickly and stared. Oh. Yes. Well, great then! With a big smile on the face, she started correcting her Soul Urge number.
"SIX (6): Three things most important to you are beauty, harmony, and home. Understanding, loyalty, devotion, affection and commitment are top priorities. You want to protect, nurture, and love your family and home. In matters of the heart and friendship, you are the idealistic romantic and friend. In love, you want to be committed and love deeply. In friendship, you want lifelong companionship and confidences."
Minus the family talk, this was very refreshing analysis. Louisa took the luxury of staring down at her written personality for a few moments as the professor strolled between the desks correcting or approving other students' work.
Just out of curiosity, the fifteen years old craned her neck to the side to take a look at Paulie's work.

She paused. "We'll reconvene in ten minutes."
Discuss independently or quietly with a partner? Well. A partner it is then. Arithmancy was a difficult subject and discussing it rather than just sinking in its depth alone would be better. Scooting her chair toward the Gryffindor sitting next to her, Louisa started ahead without even taking his permission. "So.. we have to calculate personal year number, then personal month number and lastly finding out our personal day number." She scribbled down those steps on her parchment.

Arithmancy Lesson 1
Assignment to calculate; Personal Year Number --> Personal Month Number --> Personal Day Number
Personal year number = month of birth + day of birth + current calendar year.
Personal month number = Personal Year Number + reduced calendar month number.
Personal day number = Day of current day calender + Personal Month Number.
Bringing her Arithmancy textbook to rest on her lap, she started calculating her number. Discussing the result with Paulie later would be daring to say the least. Hehe.

Personal Year Number: Birth day: 8 Birth month: January. Current year: 2076
SIX (6): This is the year for elderly parents, in which you'll be needed by your family more this year than any other year. It is also a year that requires you to balance your domestic life with your work life, as romantic relationships move to the forefront and you'll be shown many opportunities to get your work life in balance. It is time for you to pay attention to your family responsibilities, nurture and seve thos you care about. Balance your needs with the needs of others, while being generous and sympathetic.
O.o
"Err.. balance my needs with the needs of others while being generous and sympathetic." She announced. Well. This number thing was getting a liiiittle creepy considering how true they turned out to be. And how much they indicated to her personal life.
She waited for Paulie to announce his own while working on the personal month number.

Personal Month Number: Year Number: 6 Current Month: 10
(6) + (1+0) =
(7)
"SEVEN (7): A 7 Personal Month is a time for rest, relaxation, and introspection. You may feel the need to be alone to reflect upon your life and decide you want to schedule a retreat. Seeking solitude is natural during a 7 month, when you may want to reevaluate where you've been and where you're going. Let nature restore you - visit the woods, the mountains, or the ocean. Curl up with a good book and spend some alone time. This is the time to pay attention to your need to be by yourself and have time to think."
"Curl up with a good book and spend some alone time?" Louisa's smile was very bright you could see her shining. Figuratively speaking. "I can do that!" A lot. In fact, she was going to spend most of this term curling up in the library and reading ahead for OWLs' sake.
Again, she waited for Paulie's number to be done. Maybe his number would tell him to start acting like a sixteen years old?
SPOILER!!: Louisa's Parchment (cont)
Personal Day Number: Month Number: 7. Current day: 17.
(7) + (1 + 7) =
(7) + (8) =
(15) =
(1 + 5) =
(6) SIX (6): A 6 Personal Day Number is a day to pay attention to work, family, or home.
The Ravenclaw twirled the quill in her hand absently. "Well. I don't think my day number's exciting." She sighed and leaned back in her seat, "I can't see my family or home before Christmas. And... I don't think by 'work' they mean study." She could always pretend they did, though. Yeah. She was probably going to do that.
