Numbers are vibrations. We may know intellectually that all is vibration, yet it is sometimes difficult to imagine this. Our material world appears to be solid, yet all is in movement, there is a harmony or disharmony, and everything vibrates and ripples with life, even the most solid stationary objects like rocks. Numerology is the ancient science of numbers.
“Numbers are man’s oldest symbols. They are fundamental to the abstraction of ideas and to measurement. Numerology uses the metaphysical aspect of numerical symbology to analyze and the scientific aspect of numerical measurement to measure and predict.” The Secrets of Numbers by Vera Scott Johnson and Thomas Wommack.

Numbers as vibrations can be useful and enlightening as they reveal the level of our vibratory note according to the day month and year we arrived on the planet. Each letter of your name also carries a vibration, as does the name of everything else. Even the number of the house you live in has import if you chose to see it that way.
For me personally, numbers have been a gateway to further self-knowledge and understanding of my journey here. When I joined the Gold Ring last year and was asked for a user name I immediately came up with Nanineko as it perfectly expressed numerically part of my given name along with my Destiny number. Nan – the first syllable of my name, and nine – my Destiny number – and ko – together, spell Nanineko, which to me means she who is one with her Destiny.
Never have I felt more at one with my Destiny than now, at the present time, especially as I turn 60 on a #6 day. And since in numerology we don’t count the zeros, I am, in effect, turning 6 on a #6 day. 12/01/2009 = 6 (in numerology you add all the numbers up together).
After I figured this out, I then realized that every year, not only this one, my age becomes the number which equals
the day of my birthday. Last year I turned 59 on 12/01/2008, which equals 5, and 59 also equals 5 because 5+9=14 and 1+4=5. The year before that I turned 58, which equals 4, (5+8=13 and 1+3=4) and 12/01/2007 when added up together = 4. Every single year I grow to a new number, I am always at one with myself. But this year, this 2009 year, is very special in another way. For in realizing that I am turning 60 on a #6 day, I began to count the ways the 6 seems to be overall an extraordinary number where I am concerned.
Before I tell you why that is, let’s just look at what the 6 means. The symbolism is legend. With Venus as its ruler, Six represents harmony, balance, sincerity, love, (in the Tarot it is the card of the Lovers) and truth. The spiritual meaning of number Six also deals with enlightenment; specifically “lighting” our path in areas we require spiritual and mental balance. For me it represents Union. Two halves of a whole coming together like Twin Flames or the Lovers. Or for an individual, the Personality and the Soul forming a Divine Union. The six can also be seen as the Trinity doubled, or a higher vibration than the 3.
But the 6 is also a reflection the 9, my Destiny number, if it were seen upside down in a mirror. And I am often quirky enough to see many things upside down and backwards. Let us say then that the 6 is Union, and I become equal to it with my 9 when I see it upside down and backwards – when I see it the mirror world, in other words.
Okay. Now to my personal, deeper relationship with the 6. To begin, I was conceived when my mother spent 6 weeks in Nevada.
On the first day of the 6th month (June 1943) 6 years before my birth, a little girl of eleven was killed during WWII. (Oh yes, and that date, 06/01/1943 happens to be a #6 day.)
So, on a #6 day, 6 years and 6 months before my birth, a little girl of eleven was killed in WWII. The girl’s name was Petra. Oh, and the word Petra happens to equal a 6 in numerology.
How this plays itself out for me in the coming year remains to be seen. My sense is that I will be feeling more strength of purpose and certainty of achieving my goals than I ever have before.
Age may be “just a number,” but the number can mean so much more than “just our age.”
Knowledge is power, and the more we know about what we are vibrating with, the more we can put ourselves in alignment with that particular energy and milk it for all its worth.
