Numerology FAQs: Are you missing any numbers?
Numerology: The numbers in your toolbox
The numbers in our birth dates and names represent individual vibrations. I like to think of those vibrations as tools in your toolbox. If you have all numbers 1 through 9 somewhere in your chart, you have a nice mix of all the vibrations.
Most likely, you are missing one or a few numbers in your chart. All that means is that you do not have that tool in your toolbox, and you may have some life experiences that teach you what that vibration means.
What’s a “missing number” - and what does it mean
In Numerology, we not only look for what the numbers add up to but also at the individual numbers to see what is and is not included. If you have a lot of one number, it can mean that you have extra energy in that area. But you also might be missing a single or multiple numbers in your birth date or name.
For instance, I have found that it is common not to have the number 8 in your chart. Since 8 is the vibration of power, money, and influence, you may think that you are destined NOT to have money in your life or that it might be a struggle. The conditions that have to exist for you to have an 8 in your numerology chart are:
Born on the 8th, 18th, or 28th of a month.
Born in the 8th month (August).
Have the letters H, Q, or Z in your name.
Only 17% of birthdays occur in August or on the 8th, 18th, or 28th of a month, so 83% of people do not have an 8 in their birth date.
H is a common letter in people's names, but Q and Z are not. According to the Social Security Administration, here are the top baby names for 2023.
The top baby names for 2023 include for girls Olivia, Emma, Charlotte, Amelia, Sophia, Mia, Isabella, Ava, Evelyn, and Luna. Top male names are Liam, Noah, Oliver, James, Elijah, Mateo, Theodore, Henry, Lucas, and William. Only 6 of these names have an 8 vibration in their names. Of course, the last name may have an 8 in it. Consider the common last names of Smith, Johnson, Martinez, or Gonzalez - all of which have the 8 vibrations of H, Q, or Z.
Having an 8 in your name does not guarantee money, power, and influence in your life. But having the vibration certainly does not hurt!
Counting the Numbers: Oprah Winfrey
Let’s look at Oprah’s Numerology profile. Here is her birth data.
Birth date: 1 / 29 / 1954
Birth name: Orpah Gail Winfrey (yes, she was born “Orpah” not “Oprah”)
O - 6 R - 9 P - 7 A - 1 H - 8
G - 7 A - 1 I - 9 L - 3
W - 5 I - 9 N - 5 F - 6 R - 9 E - 5 Y - 7
#1 - count of 2 - Average - Has initiative and leadership
#2 - none - Needed to learn sensitivity to others & how to partner with other
#3 - count of 1 - Less than average - needed to learn about communicating with others
#4 - none - without structure (similar to her childhood) but her birthday adds up to 4
#5 - count of 3 - Average - good creativity
#6 - count of 2 - Average - dedication to family
#7 - count of 3 - Average + - Highly strategic & introspective
#8 - count of 1 - Low - had to learn to manage money
#9 - count of 4 - High - lots of energy about being of service
We can see in her chart that Oprah is missing a 2 and 4 in her chart, so these were skills she probably needed to develop over time.
Sometimes, if you are missing a number, the birthdate can make up for it. As noted, Oprah's birthdate adds up to 4 ( 1+2+9+1+9+5+4 = 31 = 3+1 = 4), which means that her life lesson is to learn how to create foundational structures in her life.
Oddly enough, she is missing a 2 - the energy of partnership and sensitivity to others. She probably needed to learn how to do this over time, and it is interesting that she has a lifelong partner but never formally married.
What to do if you have missing numbers”
Missing a number doesn't have to be a lifelong curse; it just means it is a talent that needs to be explored and enhanced. The first step is learning the missing number and how it plays out in your life.
For instance, if your chart lacks an 8, learning about money management would add that tool to your toolbox and help you handle that vibration (or lack thereof) better.
If you miss a 2, you might need to learn to be more sensitive to others and interact with them better. Learning how to actively listen, or take other's needs into account can be a solution.
We all have vibrations that we either lack, have an average amount of, or an excessive amount of. Learning to understand and deal with it effectively in your life is the trick.
