Arithmancy Assignment

Our newest assignment (at the moment) is in our Arithmancy class. The concept is not new to me, but I haven't looked at it (or really thought about it) in years. We read some information on it, which refreshed my memories of it. Then we calculated our Character, Heart and Social numbers.

I did this three times (yeah, quite a coincidence, huh?) because I have 3 names I use. The first name given to me at birth (which I only use when required to and nope, I'm NOT telling), the name Kitty (which I use offline)and Katt (which I use online). The results were both interesting and scary.

Birth name: Character 2, Heart 5, Social 6
Kitty : Character 7, Heart 2, Social 5
Katt : Character 1, Heart 3, Social 7

Note that every name has at least 1 number that is repeated in another name.

Katt
Character: 1 - This is the number of the individual, the solitary unit. Ones are independent, focused, and determined. They set a goal and stick to it. They are leaders and inventors. Ones find it difficult to work with others and don't like to take orders. They can be self-centered, egotistical, and domineering. They are often loners.
Yup, this is me, alright! Clearly someone was looking over my shoulder here! I take exception to the 'egotistical' part, but the rest ... well ::sigh:: Yeah, I guess so.
Heart: 3 - Three represents the idea of completeness or wholeness, as in the threesomes past-present-future and mind-body-spirit. Three indicates talent, energy, an artistic nature, humor, and social ease. Threes are often lucky, easygoing, and highly successful, but they can also be unfocused, easily offended, and superficial.
I don't quite fit this one. I have little social ease (except online ... and note that this is my online name). I'm not really very successful, except in my crafts, and then not in a business sense. Altho if I can ever get an Etsy store opened, perhaps that will change. I was lucky in my 2nd choice of husband, but not my 1st. Other than that, I don't consider myself particularly lucky. And I'm not really very easy-going. There are other numbers which indicate I'm domineering and difficult. An internal conflict which can result in problems. I don't think I'm superficial, but it says 'can be' not 'always is', so that's okay. I guess. Unfocused? Not quite sure about that one. I can be quite focused at times, but easily distracted at other times.
Social: 7 - Perceptive, understanding, and bright, sevens enjoy hard work and challenges. They are often serious, scholarly, and interested in all things mysterious. Originality and imagination are more important than money and material possessions. Sevens can also be pessimistic, sarcastic, and insecure.
I'll pretty much agree with this one, I'm afraid. Note, please, that while Character says I'm focused, Social says I'm not. The dichotomy can result in depression because I'm fighting myself and can't win. The insecure part I sure won't argue with ... that's right on target. Unfortunately, so is the sarcastic part. I try real hard to be optimistic, tho sometimes it can be difficult.

Originality and imagination are more important than money and material possessions. Sevens can also be pessimistic, sarcastic, and insecure.
See remarks above .......
Heart: 2 - Two represents interaction, two-way communication, cooperation, and balance. Twos are imaginative, creative, and sweet natured. Peace, harmony, commitment, loyalty, and fairness are characteristic. But two also introduces the idea of conflict, opposing forces, and the contrasting sides of things: night and day, good and evil. Twos can be withdrawn, moody, self-conscious and indecisive.
This number gives me balance, which is missing in my other numbers. ::giggles:: I'm not at *all* sure about the 'sweet natured' part, either! And again ... that internal disturbance, which can result in depression.... btw, I'm a diagnosed severe depressive. Considering how often the internal conflict shows up in my numbers, perhaps that isn't so surprising, hmmm? Note: this is the character number for my birth name.
Social: 5 - Five is the number of instability and imbalance, indicating change and uncertainty. Fives are drawn to many things at once but commit to none. They are adventurous, energetic and willing to take risks. They enjoy travel and meeting new people but may not stay in one place very long. Fives can be conceited, irresponsible, quick-tempered and impatient.
Here we go again .... the first adjective here is 'instability'. And I used to wonder why am I a depressive? ::shrugs:: Guess it's in the numbers, huh? The second comment certainly holds true for my crafts - I am drawn to many crafts, but I won't commit to one and exclude all others. I might enjoy traveling, if we could afford it, but I don't want to move ever again! While I don't think I'm either conceited or irresponsible (my ex- made sure I had to be responsible, since I had to raise the kids), I can be quick-tempered and impatient. Note that this is my heart number for my birth name.


(Birth):
Character: 2 - Two represents interaction, two-way communication, cooperation, and balance. Twos are imaginative, creative, and sweet natured.

They are adventurous, energetic and willing to take risks. They enjoy travel and meeting new people but may not stay in one place very long. Fives can be conceited, irresponsible, quick-tempered and impatient.
See comments above.
Social: 6 - Six represents harmony, friendship, and family life. Sixes are loyal, reliable, and loving. They adapt easily. They do well in teaching and the arts, but are often unsuccessful in business. They are sometimes prone to gossip and complacency.
This is the one I disagree with the most. I've had very little harmony in my life, and I find it difficult to make and maintain friendships. Family life? With 3 kids, and a 2nd husband .. oh, yeah. But it has not been harmonious, to say the least. The second comment is true, but the third I have reservations about. I do okay teaching one-on-one as long as I am confident of my own knowledge in the subject; and yes, I think I do quite well in 'the arts' as long as you include crafting in that header. Some people don't. But then, some people don't know their ... well, never mind ;x This blog is family rated! The unsuccessful in business part, so far, has proven true. Sadly. I do not gossip and I hope I am not complacent. Since both of the other numbers for this name appear again in "Kitty", which is the name I use the most off line, perhaps this Social number is the reason I dislike, and rarely use, this name unless I'm forced to for legal reasons?

In conclusion ... most of this was so close, it's scary. What is even scarier is the way the numbers repeat, no matter which name I use.
