ARITHMANCY
The study of numbers and their possible meanings is referred
to as numerology. There are many different techniques. We
used the method of digit summing.  

It’s exactly what it sounds like. Generally, you’d take the
date of birth and add each digit separately, once you have
your sum, if it’s a double digit, you’d add those two digits
until you get a single number.  

Each number is assigned a meaning. The following are the
most common or the definitions most widely
accepted…generally. These are taken from wikipedia.
Western
1 = Individual. Aggressor. Yang.
 
2 = Balance. Union. Yin.
 
3 = Communication/interaction.  
Neutrality.
 
4 = Creation.
 
5 = Action.
 
6 = Reaction/flux. Responsibility.
 
7 = Thought/consciousness.
 
8 = Power/Sacrifice.
 
9 = Completion.
Chinese
1 = Sure
 
2 = Easy
 
3 = Live
 
4 = Considered unlucky because
the pronunciation is
similar to that of the
word for death.
 
5 = The self, or nothing/never
 
6 = Smooth path
 
7 = Together
 
8 = Sudden fortune/prosperity
 
9 = Long in time
For the Chinese, a number like 89 would be a very lucky
number as it translates to something like “you’ll have a
lasting fortune” or “you’ll prosper for a long time”.
So let’s use, for example, Hermione.  Hermione’s birthday is
19 September 1979.  

19+9+1979 = 2007 = 2+7 = 9 = Completion (Long in time)

There is also a method of designating numbers to each letter
of the alphabet, then can you digit sum from those values.

Hermione Granger
Hermione = 87 = 8+7 = 15 = 1+5 = 6 = Reaction(Smooth path)
Granger = 70 = 7 = Thought (Together)

Chinese: Lucky and Unlucky Numbers
Lucky
6 – Flowing, Smooth; “everything goes smoothly”
Considered one of the luckiest numbers
8 – Fortune or Prosperity
9 – Longlasting, enduring, long-term



Unlucky
4 – It’s pronunciation in Chinese, Korean, and Japanese sounds
similar to the words for death in each language.  It is
considered the unluckiest numbers.  

14 – In Cantonese, the word is “sap sei,” which sounds like    
“sat sei.”  Sat sei translates into “certainly die.”



The trepidation towards, and subsequent aversion of, the number
14 in Eastern cultures is very similar to the Western idea of
13 being a bad sign.  The fear of the number 14 is called
Tetraphobia.

The fear is so strong in that part of the world that 4 and all
other numbers containing it are avoided, especially in the
presence of sick or dying people.

The 4th, 14th, 24th, etc. floors are usually skipped in hotels,
hospitals, offices.  In restaurants, or at social gathering
such as weddings, the 4th table is passed over.
