Tides and Cycles

Many of the characteristics associated with the primary numbers are related to personality, so allowing you to assess the character of any individual whose name or birth number you have calculated. When you use the numbers for other purposes (for example, to find out if a certain plan will be a good one) their meanings should be interpreted according to their more general characteristics.

Each number is associated with a planet, and with a day of the week - this day is said to be auspicious for those whose birth number is linked with it. The numbers also have positive connections with dates containing the same number: for example, the 5th, 14th, and 23rd of each month are seen as good days for anyone whose birth number is 5.

Here are the meanings of the numbers...
