Your Numerology as a Parent

Your Numerology as a Parent

Numerology is the study of the spiritual meaning of numbers. Numerology assigns a number to each letter of the alphabet in order to derive a single number for your name.  This number is your Destiny number.  The total of your birthday numbers reduced to a single number is your Life Path number.  These two numbers form the foundation of your personal numerology.  When combined you derive your Soul Purpose number.

These three numbers guide your numerology in every aspect of your life.  This article will focus on how numbers apply to parenting.  If you are a parent, you will definitely want to know your Destiny, Life Path, and Soul Purpose Numbers, as well as those numbers for your child or children.

Parenting, Numerology Style

It is often said that we have a “parenting style” if we are parents. That “style” informs our decisions regarding our children and is part of the negotiation between what we want/expect from a child and what the child wants/expects from us as parents.

The foundation for individual numerology is a basic complex of three numbers, the Destiny Number (of your full birth certificate name), the Life Path Number (of the total of your month, day, and year of birth), and your Soul Purpose Number (the total of your Destiny Number plus your Life Path Number).

In short, the Destiny Number is what the world wants and expects from you.  The Life Path Number is how you best move through the world.  And the Soul Purpose number represents the spiritual energy you need to develop and express in your life.  Each number gets nuanced in your role as a parent.

Keep in mind that you can be a mix of three different numbers or of the same number.  In my numerology, I am D3, LP4, and SP7.  From the parenting perspective, the world will want me to teach and support my child’s creativity and imagination (D3), which I can do with consistent and reliable support (LP4), knowing that I need to see parenting as part of my spiritual growth (SP7).

I have a daughter, and her numerology is D9, LP11/2, and SP2.  The world will expect her to give it wisdom (D9), as an individualist who can relate to anyone (LP11/2), whose purpose is to connect people and with people (SP2).  She is currently 15 and already developing into a wonderfully creative artist.

She does her work on an iPad Air.  She also taught herself to do video editing at 12 and I invested in an iMac and Final Cut Pro when she was 13 (my LP4). I have encouraged her creativity (D3) and am hoping to complete a tarot deck project with her (SP7).  Her art and creativity are her ways to get her emerging wisdom (D9) out to people individually and collectively (LP11/2).  And she easily makes friends and supports people (SP2).
