“ashamed” is focused on the people-pleasing qualities of
the 6; “I’m so ashamed of what I said; I’ll never be able
to show my face in this town again.” In the positive,

ary 6, softening the devastating blow; “I’m not ashamed
of my actions because I know it was the right thing to
say at the time.”

stall and hinder a necessary resolution for the benefit of

can’t avoid her anymore.”

Awful (9)
Meaning:
“Awful” vibrates to the 9, the ambitious, idealistic, responsible humanitarian number. The 9 is responsible
for all the incredible achievements seen in the previous
century; everyone born between 1889 and 1999 had at
least one 9 in their date of birth. The 9 is the most active
mental number, the highest change vibration, and consid-
ered the “big dreamer.” In the negative, “awful” is critical,
judgmental, and opinionated without knowing any or all
of the facts; “Isn’t it awful what she said to him?” In the

ian; “I’m sure it isn’t that awful, I think I’ll try it.”

Awkward (9)
Meaning:
“Awkward” vibrates to the 9, the ambitious, idealistic, responsible humanitarian number. The 9 is responsi-
ble for all the incredible achievements seen in the previous
century; everyone born between 1889 and 1999 had at
least one 9 in their date of birth. The 9 is the most active
mental number, the highest change vibration, and consid-
ered the “big dreamer.” In the negative, the black-and-
white, right-and-wrong, perfectionist, critical 9
contributes to the uncomfortable feeling of “awkward.”
When you feel awkward, you are self-conscious of your
perceived imperfections; “That was so awkward! I felt so
out of place with that elite group of women.” In the posi-
tive, the humanitarian side of the 9 strives to rectify “awk-
ward,” softening its perfectionist view; “There’s no need
to feel awkward, we’re all family.”
Positive: humanitarian, ambitious, responsible, jus-
tice-seeking, idealistic, and unselfish.

Bad (7)
Meaning:
“Bad” vibrates to the 7, the deep, philosophical, teaching and learning, truth-seeker energy. In the negative, the 7 vibration carries a deep sense of distrust of
the self and others, not based on any outer facts or in-
formation; “I just know something bad is going to hap-
pen.” In the positive, pulling from the deeper
truth-seeking energy that is the 7 in its true form, “bad”
benefits from the deep sense of inner trust that comes
from tapping into your truth; “I’m sure it won’t be as
bad as it seems.”
Positive: wise, contemplative, achiever, truth-seeking, de-
termined, and hands-on.
Negative: stubborn, overactive, distrustful, hesitant,
skeptical, and loner.
Beaten (2)

“Beaten” vibrates to the 2, the number of intuition, sensitivity, cooperation, and dualistic energy. In
the negative, the dualistic, opposing, separated energy
of the 2 gives “beaten” its defeated undertone; “I was
beaten at the marathon.” In the positive, “beaten” relies
on the supportive and cooperative 2 traits shifting the
feelings of defeat to a sense of being supported and not
alone, even when faced with potential defeat or loss; “I
will not be beaten down or subdued.”
Positive: balance, cooperation, sensitive, intuitive, sup-
portive, and harmonious.
Negative: contrast, codependent, uncertain, submissive,
passive, and hypersensitive.

you belittle someone from a materialistic or physical and
self-absorbed standpoint, focusing on what you have
that they don’t; “She’s not fit for our team with such an
obvious lack of sophistication.” In the positive, a more
practical and balanced view is taken, based on the posi-
tive qualities of the 4; “That was unacceptable to belittle
her in front of her friends.”

anced, organization, solid, stable, and loyal.

most active soul-plane number, 8 has a direct link to the
spiritual realm, creating a sense of wholeness and com-
pleteness. To betray is to deceive or be disloyal; living
through the negative qualities of the 8, “betray” becomes
detached, selfish, and greedy; “If you betray me, you’ll
pay for it.” In the positive, the wise and assured energies
take over, creating a deeper view of “betray”; “I’m sure
there’s a good reason for her to betray me in this way,
considering she’s always been honest with me in the
past.”
Positive: wise, confident, assertive, independent, mani-
festing, assured, and loving.

portive, and harmonious.

ing fingers, leaves the door open for the bigger picture
to be viewed; “No one is really to blame here.”

number not divisible by any other number, making it is a
stand-alone energy. As an isolated number, 1 in the nega-
tive believes “burden” is something to bear alone, playing
the victim; “He’s such a burden but there’s no one else to
take care of him but me.” In the positive, the overly
driven, egocentric, and aggressive 1 views a burden as
something to overcome or discard if it becomes too inhib-
iting; “She’s a burden to my company and I’m going to
have to cut her loose.”

tious, determined, and pioneering.
Negative: aggressive, egocentric, overly driven, self-ab-
sorbed, overachieving, and single-focused.

when you are not centered in your truth; “I wanted to
join in but I was afraid they wouldn’t like me.” In the
positive, when trust is incorporated into “but,” it dis-
plays a knowing or truth from within; “I didn’t have the
same level of credentials as the other candidates, but it
didn’t matter, I knew I was worthy of that award.”
Positive: wise, contemplative, achiever, truth-seeking, de-
termined, and hands-on.

ergy of the 2 gives “can’t” its uncertain, codependent,

gives rise to losing steam quickly when it comes to tak-
ing on a challenge; “I’m not sure I can weather this chal-
lenge.” As the physical energy considered the number of
the “doer,” in the positive sense, “challenge” is all about
doing in the physical sense and putting one’s nose to the
grindstone to get the job done; “I’m up for the chal-
lenge.”

anced, organization, solid, stable, and loyal.

ification, and self-absorbed.

ber so it is a stand-alone energy. Appearing as the sepa-
rated loner, the negative 1 takes being cheated personally
and seeks revenge or rectification; “She cheated me out
of a chance at the top position in the company and I can’t
let her get away with that.” In the positive, the 1 seeks to
overcome being cheated through its qualities of ambition,
determination, and action; “She cheated me out of the

events and other opportunities.”
