Karmic Numbers:

In Numerology, there are two types of Karmic Numbers:

Karmic DEBTS and Karmic LESSONS.
Needless to say, Karmic Debts hold a bit more weight and Karmic Lessons are
less intense than a Karmic Debt.
The Karmic Numbers are 13, 14, 16, and 19.
So what are Karmic numbers?
Let’s break it down and talk about what Karmic Numbers might bring with them.
And then we’ll discuss the specifics to the Karmic Number 19/1.
KARMIC DEBT:
The Karmic Debt can also be referred to as a Testing Number, Warning Number
or Hidden Number. Basically, the Karmic Debt number indicates that you have a
debt to pay in this lifetime for the actions you performed in a former lifetime.
When you see one of these numbers show up as one of the Core Numbers
in your chart, it’s a message that you’re working with issues from the past.
Here’s an example of how a Karmic Number might show up in your chart. 
Example:
I had a client with these Core Numbers:
LIFE PATH: 11/2
EXPRESSION: 22/4
SOUL URGE: 19/1
BIRTHDAY: 14/5
This person has quite a full agenda for her life, eh?
She’s got two Master Numbers as her Life Path and Expression/Destiny
Numbers.
Then her Soul Urge is a Karmic Number 19/1 (the Soul Urge is calculated by
adding the vowels together from your full name) and her Birthday number is also
a Karmic Number.
Dare I say that she is a person with lots of potential and very, very intense
challenges.
When you see a Karmic number, it’s telling you that you’ll experience
significant challenges or difficulties with a particular “topic” in your life.
It will depend on where it lands in your chart as to what the over-all effect might
be.
So while this can be seen as a harsh “uh-oh!” it’s actually really nice to know that
the struggles you’re most likely experiencing over and over again can be given a
name and a reason for being.
It’s rather like having credit card debt. You have to decide to forgo that vacation,
eating out, or buying that expensive car because you have to – instead – use that
money to incrementally pay off your credit card. If you don’t pay it off, the debt
keeps accumulating, the interest rate goes up, and the debt consumes your life.
The collections service starts calling. The Repo Man shows up. You get the
picture.
So when you see a Karmic number, it simply indicates that you have a debt to
pay.
Luckily, if Numerology resonates with you, knowing the nature of the debt you’re
paying is a bonus and a positive thing.
When you can name it, you can in some ways embrace it and do something
about it.
 
KARMIC DEBT NUMBER 19/1
The number  19/1 represents wisdom, power, and spiritual knowledge that
has been used and abused for selfish personal gain in a previous
manifestation. 
If you have a 19/1 as one of your Core Numbers, understand this:  You are now
paying back for past abuses where sacred knowledge, lack of compassion, and
spiritual misalignment were your behaviors.  The 19/1 indicates to you that there
has been a hefty abuse of power and that the actions involved were extremely
self-centered and the abuse wasn’t willy-nilly – it was calculated.
Understand that the person who has the 19/1 as one of their core numbers will
most likely act upon the more destructive tendencies of the Number One until the
lessons have been understood, acknowledged, acted upon, and mastered.  So
some of the traits that must be grappled with are:
 Narcissism
 Egotism
 Selfishness
 Being intimidating
 Dependence
 Lacking self confidence
 Stubborn and won’t accept help
 Laziness
 Lacking a “spine” – can’t stand on own two feet
 Inability to move forward with a productive life of healthy independence
and achievement
 Lacking initiative and leadership follow-through
 Co-dependency in relationships

KARMIC DEBT NUMBER 13/4

The number 3 in the 13/4 represents creative energy and joyfulness that turned
into superficiality, slacking, and using words to hurt others during a previous
manifestation.
If you have a 13/4 as one of your Core Numbers (meaning, your Life Path,
Expression/Destiny, Soul Urge, Birthday, or Personality numbers), understand
this:
You are now paying back for past abuses where carrying your share of the work
load was seriously abused. We often think of the 13 as an “unlucky” number. Yet
in Numerology, really the 13 indicates to you that putting the petal-to-the-metal
and digging in with some hard work will be a requirement. The 13/4 is telling you
that you’re being asked to monitor and master the art of positive expression –
and you can understand that as thinking before you speak, not being critical and
judgmental, and using your words to support and uplift others rather than to tear
them down. You’re also being required to develop a strong sense of discipline
and use your sense of discipline in all practical matters throughout your life.
Understand that the person who has the 13/4 as one of their Core Numbers will
most likely act upon the more destructive tendencies of the number 4 until the
lessons have been understood, acknowledged, acted upon, and mastered. So
some of the negative or challenging traits that must be grappled with are:
• Blaming everyone (or everything – government, your family, your employer,
etc.) for the limitations you experience
• Being a bossy know-it-all
• Being a control freak
• Being very rigid in your thinking (and often this translates to physical inflexibility
as well)
• Being obstinate
• Complaining
• Lazy
• Putting off responsibilities to others
• Feeling done-in by limitations
KARMIC DEBT NUMBER 14/5
The number 4 in the 14/5 represents the misuse of freedom in a previous
manifestation. The 4 is all about stability, security, using step-by-step
processes to achieve your goals, hard work, and responsibility.  
The 1 in all Karmic Numbers refers to selfishness and self-absorption. 
Then the number next to it (in this case the 4) is the indicator of the nature of the
past infractions.
If you have a 14/5 as one of your Core Numbers, understand this:  You are now
paying back for past abuses where you acted upon your personal (and often
selfish) sense of freedom for yourself at the expense of others.  The 14/5 is
telling you that there has been a pretty hefty abuse of freedom through being
irresponsible and shunning any sense of responsibility.
It also points to issues relating to excessive behaviors.  The number 5 is the
teacher of the constructive use of freedom – or freedom through self-discipline.  It
demands a delicate balance between “freedom” and “escape.”
Understand that the person who has the 14/5 as one of their core numbers
will most likely act upon the more destructive tendencies of the number
5 until the lessons have been understood, acknowledged, acted upon, and
mastered. 
Some of the traits that must be grappled with:
 
1. Inability to hold on to a relationship
2. Jumping from job to job
3. Struggles with addictions (food, drugs, alcohol – anything detouring you
from taking full responsibility for yourself)
4. Lacking the ability to focus and follow through
5. Lacking the ability to commit
6. Severe or unhealthy sense of dependence
7. Severe or unhealthy sense of independence
 8. Overly emotional response to change or not getting your way
9. Inability to practice self-discipline
10. Excessive sexual encounters
 
Now you’re being asked to tap into moderation – a healthy sense of
discipline, organization, and routine.  You must understand that committing to
some sense of structure and order in your life will actually offer you the real
freedom you crave.  Only then can you create a plan, set attainable goals, and
gain a focus and clarity.
You can expect to face experiences that test you by handing you some
deep emotionally upsetting situations and even some frustrating
delays.  Your test is in sticking to your commitments no matter what is thrown in
your way.  Yet you can’t retract and limit yourself by becoming rigid and
negative. 
Your success resides in your ability to remain flexible yet disciplined,
focused yet open to change, and determined to do the hard work and
engage in the step-by-step processes that yield you results. You can’t blame
others or bad luck on your inability to move forward with success.  It takes
concerted effort, yet your tendency will most likely be to feel that it’s all taking far
too much work and it’s all taking far too much time. Not so. 

KARMIC DEBT NUMBER 16/7

The number 16/7 represents the misuse of love in a previous manifestation. 
Some Numerologists suggest that this Karmic Number also indicates that you will
be challenged with leveling your ego in this lifetime.  The 16/7 is a spiritual
actualizer; you’ll be presented with experience after experience where your life
crumbles, you embrace humility and your sense of higher purpose, and you
experience “destruction and rebirth” from a variety of vantage points throughout
your life.
If you have a 16/7 as one of your Core Numbers, understand this:  You are now
paying back for past abuses where you were involved in illicit love affairs which
resulted in suffering to others.  The 16/7 is telling you that there has been a pretty
hefty abuse of love through acts of self-centeredness, irresponsibility, and a
distortion of loving feelings.  The message here is that you need to get your ego
in check!
Understand that the person who has the 16/7 as one of their core numbers will
most likely act upon the more destructive tendencies of the number Seven until
the lessons have been understood, acknowledged, acted upon, and mastered. 
So some of the traits that must be grappled with are:
 Difficult to approach
 Isolation
 Inability to have successful love relationships
 Being withdrawn from the world
 Being aloof
 Self-centered and lacking the ability to connect with others
 Over-the-top in their need for privacy
 Emotionally detached
 Looking down on others from an intellectual vantage point

If you’re willing to meet your challenge, you can shift your perspective and look at
your obstacles as detours – if you can see that your goal is actually to embody
the most optimal and positive potential of the Number One, then you’re cookin’.
Also understand that if this description just doesn’t sound anything like you (or
who you think you are), then potentially you’re at a stage of development and
maturity in your life – and have been working diligently on your own personal
growth and evolution – that you’re more in alignment with the constructive
element of the Number One.  If that describes you, then HATS OFF!  You’ve
been doing your work.  It never hurts to give yourself a little reminder, though,
now and again.  And a little pat on the back for a job well done.
The gift you’re given by knowing that you have a Karmic Debt to pay is this: 
Rather than feeling victimized, you can see that this is something that you
brought on yourself – despite the fact that you can’t remember it.  If you exert the
energy and commitment to working in the positive realm of the Number One,
then you’ll reap the benefits.  The Karmic Debt can feel like you’re the Phoenix; 
you must go through an intense reconstruction or regeneration process in order
to come to terms and clear your Karmic slate.
The bottom line:  Working with a Karmic Number intensifies the issues that
relate to that number.  It’s not easy.  It requires concerted effort and focused
commitment.  It’s testing you and requiring that you rewire the way you work with
leadership, creativity, ego, achievement, and independence.  The destructive
path will feel much more “comfortable” since you’ve been there, done that.  This
time, you’re being asked to extract yourself from riding in that same rut in the
road – you’re required to create a new way of working with these themes that
have positive results for you and everyone around you.
