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.

"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.

Personal Year Number

(1+1)+(2+7)+(2+0+7+6)
2+9+(1+5)
2+9+6
=17
1+7
=8
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.
Smiling at the other Puff's enthusiasm, Amelia hoped that it would get her to wake up a little. "Don't worry about it," she said shrugging off Ness's admission that she wasn't the best with this class. "I'm good with it, and besides you are right about having to do the Personal Year Number first." She nodded and then started working on her Personal Year Number:
When she was done her work, she gave it a quick look over to make sure that she had done it correctly before looking up what the textbook had to say about her number:

"I got a number 8 for my Personal Year Number," She told her friend. "So now that we have our Personal Year Numbers, it's time to do the Personal Month one." She nodded now as she turned to a new page on her Arithmancy notebook.
She started working on her calculation now:
Quote:
Personal Year Number: 8
Calendar Month Number: 10
8 + 10 => (0 + 8) + (1 + 0)
= (8) + (1)
= 9
She looked in the book now, finding what had to be said about her Personal Month Number:
Quote:
NINE (9): A 9 Personal Month allows you to harvest the benefits of all that you've done in previous months. You've earned the reward for all your hard work and you'll know it was worth the effort. This is a time to let go, clean out, and release. This is a month of endings, so you may feel like cleaning out file drawers, closets, or old girl/boyfriends. This month's energy is asking you to let it go and make room for the new that is coming in next month.
Now she waited for Nessie to calculate her Personal Month Number as well. :3
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.
Well, she did like her alone time, though she was pretty sure she did not have any legal papers to deal with, and she wasn't sure what she should be cleansing herself of.
She checked her calculations to make sure they were correct. So far Arithmancy seemed pretty easy; it was nothing like some muggle maths.

Alyssa turned to see whether was anyone who still didn't have a partner. At the rate she was going, she most likely would be stuck working on her own for the rest of the class.

This was going to be as fun as Arithmancy could get, but that was only because Mia was so awesome. Ness smiled at her older friend and then looked back at her work.
Wait...Mia got eight too? Ness sort of giggled at that, so the two had things in common after all. "I got eight too, and it said something about us discovering our power and becoming leaders and so on." She didn't feel like rereading the whole thing, so she just said the begining part, which was what she liked about what it had said the most.
Now next thing to work on, her Personal Month number
Text Cut: Nessie's parchment
8 + 10
= (8) + (1 + 0)

NINE (9): A 9 Personal Month allows you to harvest the benefits of all that you've done in previous months. You've earned the reward for all your hard work and you'll know it was worth the effort. This is a time to let go, clean out, and release. This is a month of endings, so you may feel like cleaning out file drawers, closets, or old girl/boyfriends. This month's energy is asking you to let it go and make room for the new that is coming in next month.
To be honest all of this stuff was begining to become interesting especially since she was finally understanding everything, it was good that Mia was there and oddly so she actually didn't have much trouble with the calculations, they were rather easy, even easier than the ones before.
"I got number nine for my personal month number...and you?" she asked with a small little grin.
Taking out more parchment, she got back to work. It was the last calculation she had to do and then she would be done. It wasn't too hard now.
Text Cut: parchment
10+17
=(1+0)+(1+7)
=1+8
=9
NINE (9): A 9 Personal Day Number is a day to finish up and to use your intuition
And now she got number nine again..she put her lips into a pout as she thought about her numbers and then waited for Mia to finish.
Alyssa turned to see that there was a Ravenclaw who was also working on her calculations by herself. So she leaned over and whispered,"Would you like to partner up with me? I already have done my calculations but would really like a second opinion. My name is Alyssa by the way." Alyssa hoped that the Ravenclaw would agree.
Asher had some terrible calculating his numbers. He still wasn't even sure if he had done them right. Or maybe he did. That wasn't likely considering he only had his birthday and the Current year written down.
His sister Caroline was always good at Arithmancy. Asher noticed a older girl who seemed to have things together in this class. "Excuse me. Can you help me. I'm pretty much confused. My sister Caroline is good at this. Me not so much. I'm Asher By the way." He grinned slightly though he was nervous.

Alyssa brighened up when she head a voice ask her whether she could help him with his calculations. "Hi Asher, it's nice to meet you. My name is Alyssa and I would be more than happy to work with you. Believe me. You are doing me the favor." Alysssa smiled at him, scooting over to make room for him at her desk.
"What have you got so far? Have you started working on the Personal Year Number? You do that by doing this.
Personal Year Number = month of birth + day of birth + current calendar year
So what is the month and day of your birth? The current calendar year is October 17, 2076."

WHOA.
That was weird. Amelia giggled at the fact that they both had the same Personal Year Number; that was totally weird. And awesome. They'd have the same answers for their calculations now. :33
Amelia nodded at the summary Ness gave for their Personal Year Number. She basically got the point of it down correct, and Amelia was feeling too tired right now to really want to elaborate on anything. She had been up late last night studying for her NEWTs again. She was going to die before the Term was even finished at the rate she was going at; forget actually being able to write the stupid things. D:
"I got the same Personal Month Number," she said now even though she figured that it could go without saying. :33 Now she just needed to calculate her Personal Day Number, and that part of the class work would be finished.
She turned to a new page in her notebook now:
Quote:
Calendar Month Number: 10
Calendar Day: 17
10 + 17 => (1 + 0) + (1 + 7)
= (1) + (8)
= 9
"I got 9 as well," she told her friend after she double checked her work.
Now she looked up what the book said about her Personal Day Number:
Quote:
NINE (9): A 9 Personal Day Number is a day to finish up and to use your intuition
"Oooh, today seems pretty good. But I don't really know if I have intuition." Or at least, she... wasn't really that sure she knew what the word even meant. o_O
The math major inside of me wants to actually check that and prove it. XD

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?
So he wasn't the only one. "I wonder if that applies to everyone, or if it just happened to work in our two cases." Either way, he was going to move on to Personal Month with Treyen.

An 8 Personal Month is a time to seize control of your life and lead with your strong authority and sure power. Assume command of the direction you've decided to pursue so that everything goes the way it should. This is a time to get down to business and take charge of your life and manage things. These things could be as simple as speaking to your roommate about his or her barking krup, taking care of that essay you've been putting off, or making an investment in your future. This is a good time to organize your financial affairs. It is all about money, power, and management this month.
"I got eight. And look what it means! Just in time for Quidditch to start, eh? That's pretty close, actually." Seriously, scary accuracy.
His amazement still fresh, he focused on the Personal Day Number. He was in the process of flipping to the correct chapter when Treyen beat him there and started reading.

"...which is the 17th, I believe." He glanced at the board. "Yup, October 17. So I would do 8 plus a reduction of 17..." He resumed scribbling furiously.

He scanned the page for the meaning. "A 7 Personal Day Number is a day to rest and reevaluate, a time for quiet solitude, and to meditate." And how did that relate to seizing control and taking charge of life? "Well, at least the Month one was pretty accurate. Maybe I'm supposed to go swim in the Prefect Bath, eh?" he finished, giving Treyen a wink. That bath was too elaborate to be considered a bath.
Alyssa brighened up when she head a voice ask her whether she could help him with his calculations. "Hi Asher, it's nice to meet you. My name is Alyssa and I would be more than happy to work with you. Believe me. You are doing me the favor." Alysssa smiled at him, scooting over to make room for him at her desk.

So what is the month and day of your birth? The current calendar year is October 17, 2076."
Asher smiled in relief. Most other students would not have wanted to help him much less be his partner. "It's nice to meet you too." He said with a nod.
Oh What did he have so far? Well...... He looked down his parchment.
Sophie smiled when Professor Hadley said her work was right. Yay math! She didn't bother checking what those number meant, she was happy just by getting the numbers right.
Instructions... more math! Mooore!!! Hooraaaay! Sophie didn't even look for a partner, she just pulled her book closer and faced her parchment again and started calculating.

He showed Alyssa his parchment paper. He looked at it once more. He wasn't sure if it was done right or what do to next.
Alyssa looked over his calculations and this boy was amazing. He was only a first year and he already knew what he was doing. "You did great, Asher. This is absolutely correct, and unless, I'm doing it wrong myself, I believe that Professor Hadley will agree with your calculations.
Okay now we're going to calculate your Personal Month Number. To get that you do this:
Personal Year Number + reduced calendar month number = Personal Month Number
So since your personal year number is 7 add that to the reduced calendar month number and you will get your personal month number. I'm sure you won't have problems doing that. If you have any problems with doing that just ask me" Alyssa encouraged the younger boy. She knew that Asher wouldn't be needing her help at the rate he was going.
Mom says I have no sense of direction, so I packed my bags and right.

#1 Definition-
A person with Life Path number 1 is hard working, a natural born leader, has a pioneering spirit that is full of energy, and a passion for art. They have a strong desire to be number one, which means a person with this number can manifest very easily. Due to their determination and self motivation, they won't let anything stand in their way of accomplishing a goal. Their drive allows them to overcome any obstacle or challenge they may encounter, and they have the desire to accomplish great things in their lifetime. Their only need is to focus on what they want in order to achieve it.
#3 Definition
With the Soul Urge number 3 your desire in life is personal expression, and generally enjoying life to its fullest. You want to participate in an active social life and enjoy a large circle of friends. You want to be in the limelight, expressing your artistic or intellectual talents. Word skills may be your thing; speaking, writing, acting, singing.

Oakey starred at what his quill had written on his parchment. It had stopped because he had stopped thinking, he was unsure what to do from here. Confused he looked over to Alyssa who seemed to be helping someone else. Tapping her on the shoulder he asked It's looks like you know what you're doing, could you perhaps point me in the right direction?

This is the month to put down roots, secure things, get a plan, or build a foundation of stability for the rest of your Personal Year.

That was easy; although Silvia wasn't quite sure how to interpret it. She was too young to worry about financial matters and she didn't have any essays she was procrastinating on. Maybe it was telling her not to be shy and to do something more than just study and go to class? Oh well, moving on...

Now this was easy enough to interpret. Today it seemed was a good day to take a break from studying, though that seemed to contradict her personal month number. Maybe she would spend some time outside later and enjoy the nice weather while it lasted.

Oakey starred at what his quill had written on his parchment. It had stopped because he had stopped thinking, he was unsure what to do from here. Confused he looked over to Alyssa who seemed to be helping someone else. Tapping her on the shoulder he asked It's looks like you know what you're doing, could you perhaps point me in the right direction?
Alyssa turned when she heard a familiar voice ask her whether he could help him too. "Hi Oakey. Sure pull up a seat. I don't think Asher will mind, will you Asher?" Alyssa asked Asher as she scooted over to make more room for Oakey.
"Okay let's check your calculations, Oakey. Again, remember I'm no expert. So here's hoping that I'm leading you guys down the right path." Alyssa smiled at Oakey before pulling over his work to review it.
"To calculate the Personal Year Number, we take the month of birth + day of birth + current calendar year
To calculate the Personal Year Number we take the Personal Year Number + reduced calendar month number = Personal Month Number
and to calculate Your Personal Day Number we add the number of the calendar day to the number of your Personal Month.
Okay so let's see, first work with your Personal Year Number, which is April 13 and the current calendar year is October 17, 2076
So add this up:
4 + 13+ 10 +17 + 2+0+7+6 or
4 +1+3 + 1+0 + 1+7 + 2+0+7+6
Remember if you have double digits you need to reduce them to a single number. Try working on this and I'll check it once you're done. Is that okay with you?" Alyssa would have done the calculations for him, but she didn't think Professor Hadley would approve of it. Helping was okay.
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.
Glenn looked over Beezus' work, "No, I think that's correct," She grinned, "If I'm wrong, I'll buy you a Butterbeer next time we have a Hogsmeade weekend."
"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." Glenn read out aloud, "Ooh, romantic relationships" Glenn cooed quite childishly, then she frowned, "The bit about being needed by your family doesn't sound too good though."
"Should we move onto the Personal Month Numbers then?" Glenn flicked over the page of her textbook and bit her lip, "It seems the same concept, except you add your Personal Year Number to the current month number and hey presto!" Glenn read from the top of the page, "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." Glenn read, "So we could work this out for every month?"
Glenn dipped her quill into Beezus' ink and started her calculation.

Quote:
EIGHT (8): An 8 Personal Month is a time to seize control of your life and lead with your strong authority and sure power. Assume command of the direction you've decided to pursue so that everything goes the way it should. This is a time to get down to business and take charge of your life and manage things. These things could be as simple as speaking to your roommate about his or her barking krup, taking care of that essay you've been putting off, or making an investment in your future. This is a good time to organize your financial affairs. It is all about money, power, and management this month.
Glenn read over the definition of her Personal Month Number, "I guess that's talking about Homework then," She sighed and looked over to see how Beezus was doing with her work.

Personal Year Number
Personal Year Number = month of birth + day of birth + current calendar year
Y = 5 + 8 + (2+0+7+6)
Y = 5 + 8 + (1+5)
Y = 5 + 8 + 6 = 19
Y = 1+9 = 10
Y = 1+0
Y = 1
Personal Month Number
Personal Year Number + reduced calendar month number = Personal Month Number
M = 1 + (1+0)
M = 2
Personal Day Number
D = 17 + 2
D = (1+7) + 2
D = 8 + 2 = 10
D = 1
Sophie stared at her parchment. So many small numbers! Was that even right?? She frowned and raised her hand. "Professor, is this it? Why do I only get small numbers??"
Glenn looked over to see Sophie calling for the Professor, "I don't think it matters Sophie," Glenn said, "The personal day and month numbers will change anyway." She smiled and read in her own textbook one of Sophie's numbers definitions, "It seems like all of yours point to being focused on your self," She said, "You've got something on bravery in there too, I bet that's referring to capture the flag." She winked and turned back to her own work.

Ella looked down at her parchment and realized that two of her calculations were wrong because she had misread where it said to use reduced calendar month number when determining her personal month number. She raised her hand. "Professor, I already found a few mistakes! I'll recalculate and then maybe you could check them?" Then she got to work.
Personal Year Number + reduced calendar month number = Personal Month Number
(7)+(10)
(7)+(1+0)
(7)+(1)

Then, Ella moved on to fix her personal day number.
Your Personal Day Number is found by adding the number of the calendar day to the number of your Personal Month.

SEVEN (7): A 7 Personal Day Number is a day to rest and reevaluate, a time for quiet solitude, and to meditate.
When she finished, she rechecked her work, worried she had messed it up again. Raising her hand again, she asked the professor to check her work. "Professor, I think this is right now. Do you mind checking when you have a second?"

Lily's jaw dropped again. She had no clue what to do or how to do it so she just started by opening her book. Ok, I think I might be able to do this. Lily thought to herself as she got busy.

Lily put her quill down and stared at her paper and then at her book and then back to her paper. She just wasn't sure if she had done it right. Look at the book, look at the paper. It was frustrating Lily since she had no idea whether it was correct.

"Okay let's check your calculations, Oakey. Again, remember I'm no expert. So here's hoping that I'm leading you guys down the right path." Alyssa smiled at Oakey before pulling over his work to review it.
"To calculate the Personal Year Number, we take the month of birth + day of birth + current calendar year
To calculate the Personal Year Number we take the Personal Year Number + reduced calendar month number = Personal Month Number
and to calculate Your Personal Day Number we add the number of the calendar day to the number of your Personal Month.
Okay so let's see, first work with your Personal Year Number, which is April 13 and the current calendar year is October 17, 2076
So add this up:
4 + 13+ 10 +17 + 2+0+7+6 or

Remember if you have double digits you need to reduce them to a single number. Try working on this and I'll check it once you're done. Is that okay with you?" Alyssa would have done the calculations for him, but she didn't think Professor Hadley would approve of it. Helping was okay.

Oakey tried to get what Alyssa had just said. He understood some of it, Well, did you get any of it? He looked at his quill which was floating waiting for anything to scribe. It dipped itself into his ink and started writing on his parchment.

He looked as his quill swiped the last bit of ink onto his parchment. I think we need parenthesis he told his Self-Writing Quill.

Personal Year 5. . . . Feeling Loose and Free-
This is a number 5 year, a year of major change in your life. Horizons are expanded and growth is less impeded. You are likely to make a number of new friends this year as social activities are expanded. This is a year that has brought/will bring excitement and adventure and a good deal more freedom than you have experienced in recent years. This is a time for feeling loose and free; for moving away from old routines in a constructive way. If you became bogged down during this past year, now is the time to seek out new directions.
The problem with a personal year 5 is the tendency to scatter energies in all directions. Your ability to do detail work is limited now and it will make you feel very confined. In all, this a free-wheeling year that is liable to bring major changes to your life; your career, your family situation, your residence.

Wow, that's kind of spot on as he finished writing. Thanks for the help Alyssa. He smiled, we should move on to the other two.
Glenn looked over to see Sophie calling for the Professor, "I don't think it matters Sophie," Glenn said, "The personal day and month numbers will change anyway." She smiled and read in her own textbook one of Sophie's numbers definitions, "It seems like all of yours point to being focused on your self," She said, "You've got something on bravery in there too, I bet that's referring to capture the flag." She winked and turned back to her own work.
Oh, really?? It was only when Sophie heard Glenn's words that she decided to see what those numbers meant. She looked down at her book and read.

What Your Personal Year Reveals About You:
ONE (1): 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.
What Your Personal Month Numbers Reveal About You:
TWO (2): 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.
What Your Personal Day Numbers Reveal About You:
ONE (1): A 1 Personal Day Number is a day to begin things and to focus on yourself.
Well, it sort of made sense... in a way! Sophie smirked and looked around to watch the others.

"You don't?" she laughed, thinking a bit more about the numbers and what they could possibly imply. "It wasn't all THAT long ago." Yeah, she stuck her tongue out, but only a little. Kurumi could remember seven years old almost as if it were yesterday. That had been when...well...when the first person she had been able to call her friend had abandoned her.

"Ok Kurumi, you show you calculation firstm because well ladies first." he grinned cheekily.
"I didn't think you were going to copy," she replied, shaking her head. That would only produce extremely inaccurate results for him anyway. She rolled her eyes a bit when August teased her to go first. Cheeky little brother lion she had adopted here, very very cheeky. She should poke him in the cheek he was so cheeky. But she refrained and instead lifted her hand up from her parchment.
"If I did everything right," which she was pretty sure she had, "then today is a 5, which means it is a day to make a change, network, and promote." Which meant...she needed to be more social? Rally the lions for some sort of event in the common room? Go to the kitchens and hold a baking class? Actually try to find a sponsor for a baking club she was thinking about holding? All of the above?

"You did it right the first time round, Oakey. Are you sure you need help here?" Alyssa teased him before continuing. "Now let's calculate the Personal Month Number where you take your Personal Year Number and add that to your reduced calendar month number.
Then once you have that number, you can calculate your Personal Day number by Your Personal Day Number by adding the number of the calendar day to the number of your Personal Month.
Let me know if you have problems doing it,"Alyssa told Oakey.

"Much better, dear," Fina said as she passed by the young Gryffindor again.
And then the girl proceeded to calculate her life path, to which Fina looked it over, shaking her head. "It's correct, yes, but please do try to use PEDMAS next time, in reducing each component to a single digit before you add them together." For one, it's a lot easy to add single digits than trying to add two digit numbers.
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.
Hearing a question from one of her Hufflepuffs, Fina looked up at Alex and blinked. "Um... well, I don't think the third is really part of your full name, is it? I mean is it on your birth certificate? What do you mean by technically?" Of course it was only two extra numbers in the case of the soul urge number anyway, by adding those two words on ....
Seeing another student waiting for her to check her work, Josephina approached the Ravenclaw's desk and pondered it a moment before repeating once more, "The Life Path is correct, yes, but please do try to use PEDMAS next time, in reducing each component to a single digit before you add them together." But as for the soul urge... "Your soul urge number is incorrect though. You've mistaken the U for a 2, whereas on the Number System chart, it's actually 3."
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.
Hearing someone call her name from across the room, Josephina perked up in shock and hurried over to the young slytherin to hear his dilemma. And as sad as it sounded, "Unfortunately, your calculations are both correct, but I am going to advise you ONCE MORE to use PEDMAS, in reducing each component to a single digit before you add them together." Seriously, she needed to start deducting points for those who DIDN'T use it and still chose to add up those large numbers.
Hearing another request to review her work, Fina strode by the desk of Alyssa again and nodded as she glanced it over. "Much better, dear."
And another student was done. Looking over the girl's work, she nodded in approval. "Perfect." As it should be considering the year of the girl and the fact that this was basic stuff.
Seeing a hand-raise, Fina approached the young Ravenclaw and looked over her work. "The Life path number is the one with your birthday, and yes, that one is correct. The soul urge is the one where you use the vowels in your full name. It's almost correct. You've mistaken the number value for Y in your first name; it should be a 7, not a six."
Passing by another Ravenclaw's desk, Josephina nodded in approval as she checked the girl's work.
And it was back to the captain again; looking it over as he worked on his life path number, she nodded in approval, as she looked to her prefect next to him who was just finishing up....
Scanning over her prefect's parchment, she nodded at his calculations. They were, of course, good. He'd come quite a ways with the subject and she had to admit that she was proud of him.
And speaking of people who came a long way, Josephina passed by the desk of the Ravenclaw Captain next and looked over her work. "Good, good," she nodded in approval at the girl's calculations.
Hearing a rather loud laugh, Josephina turned in the direction of a young boy and went to look over his calculations... good ... good... oh no, wait... "Um.. Your Life Path Number, you've miscalculated that one. Which is why I recommend you use PEDMAS to reduce each component to a single digit before you add them together. As you did with your soul urge. So yea, check that calculation on your life path and you're good to go."
And then onto look at another's work; looking over, she nodded in approval at the second year. Another one who had the same soul urge and life path numbers.
Back to Louisa again, who had decided to start work on her life path. This time though, she was correct, to which Josephina nodded at her with approval.
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.
Seeing an older boy making a face, Josephina strode over to investigate the boy's calculations. "What's wrong? It looks correct to me."
Seeing another student was done, she walked over to look at her work and smiled. It was refreshing after all to see so many young hufflepuffs seem to be actually getting Arithmancy. "Good job," Fina nodded.
Walking over toward Minnie as she asked her to check her work, she looked it over.... perusing the girl's parchment. Soul urge looked good... but ... "Your Life path... I'm not sure that I really follow your calculations for that one. As in, I can see your year of birth, but your month and day, seem unclear to me where you included them in the calculation." She smiled gratefully though when the second year volunteered to help the Slytherin in need of assistance.
Not that she really felt she needed to check the Head Girl's work, she walked by anyway, just for the sake of it and scanned her parchment, nodding in approval.
"They're both correct now," Josephina said, passing by a young Hufflepuff's desk. "But you should know that it would probably be easier if you don't write ALL the numbers down for each letter. Just the vowels. This way you wouldn't accidentally add in the wrong number. You can just put a dash or something in place of the number." Just a tidbit.
"You... still ended up with the correct answer, but you do realize you added the I from Kurumi as part of your last name as well... right? So you got an extra 9 in there..." You know, just an FYI. But since 27 and 36 are both multiples of 9, it made no difference. In this case.
Seeing that a certain Paulie Foster had rested his quill to the side, she strode by to have a peek at his parchment, despite him not having raised his hand. She nodded though in approval and then moved on....registering faintly on the fact that he was seated next to a certain Ravenclaw.
Another Gryffindor who hadn't asked, but she glanced over the girl's work all the same and nodded at her in approval when she didn't see anything blatantly wrong with her calculations.
SPOILER!!: Butterfly and those who helped her, Thank you!
"Thank you, Miss Wheatborn and Miss Hollingberry, for helping out a classmate," she smiled at the girls, making a mental note about their efforts. Now, back to investigating the young Slytherin's work, which it seemed as though the two girls had helped her mostly enough out. At least she knew where to get the numbers from. "It's good, yes, but might I suggest if you don't need the numbers for the particular calculation you're doing, then you don't record it. It'll be easier so you don't accidentally add the wrong number." Just a tidbit.
"And yes, you should reduce your final answer to a single digit."
Hearing another question, Josephina looked over to Oakey and shook her head. "You did it correctly. I don't believe the Y is a vowel in your name, because of that E that's next to it."
Hearing another request to look over her parchment, Josephina went over toward the young ravenclaw and glanced it over. Almost about to say it looked fine, she frowned. "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."
Again, though Gideon hadn't asked for her to look over his parchment, Josephina went by his desk and looked anyway. And nodded when she noticed it was fine, thus moving onto the next...
She frowned when she reached the desk of the Slytherin prefect, shaking her head. "No. Your last name... the A ... on the chart, A is a 1, not a 7." That was actually the case on MANY number systems, not just the Pythagorean. So obviously, his soul urge number was wrong. But the life path number was fine though.
Walking by Sierra's desk next, as Fina noticed the girl had stopped writing, she glanced over the girl's parchment and nodded when everything seemed to check out alright and then moved onto to the next...
She nodded in approval at the girl's life path number and then gazed around the classroom for any others who were finishing up. All good, it seemed.
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.
Harvey set to work on his Personal Day Number.. He got a fresh piece of parchment and put quill to parchment and set to work
SPOILER!!: Personal Day Number Calculations
SPOILER!!: Personal Year Number Calculation
Personal Year Number = month of birth + day of birth + current calendar year
4+6+2076
Month of Birth April is 4
Day of birth = 6
Current Calendar Year is 2076 = 2+0+7+6=15
=1+5=6
4+6+6=16
=1+6=7
Personal Year Number = 7
SPOILER!!: Personal Month Calculation
Personal Month Number = Personal Year Number + reduced calendar month number =
Current Calendar Month is October is 10 = 1+0=1
7+1=8
Personal Month Number = 8
SPOILER!!: Personal Day Calculation
Personal Day Number = Calendar Day + Personal Month Number
Calendar Day is 17 = 1+7=8
8+8=16
1+6=7
Personal Day number=7
SPOILER!!: Number 7 Meaning
