number so it is a stand-alone energy. “Maybe” in the
negative utilizes the isolated and egocentric qualities of
the 1. In the negative, the focus of the 1 is exterior or
ego-focused, inhibiting the access of deeper truth within
to make a definitive decision; “Maybe I will, I just don’t
know what to do.” In the positive, the 1 affords potential
or possibility for “maybe” as the redirection of energy is
put on the determined, pioneering side of the 1;
“There’s no ‘maybe’ about it, I will pass this test.”
Positive: verbal self-expression, initiate, action, ambi-
tious, determined, and pioneering.
Negative: aggressive, egocentric, overly driven, self-ab-
sorbed, overachieving, and single-focused.

Need (1)
Meaning:
“Need” vibrates to the number 1, with the iso-
lated pioneer, new beginnings, and trailblazing energy.
The 1 is the only number not divisible by any other
number so it is a stand-alone energy. In the negative, the
single-focused, aggressive, and egocentric 1 works to
consume and collect, needing more to achieve, forget-
ting the true nature of the 1, which is a stand-alone
number, and perfect as it is. In the positive, the isolated
pioneering 1 is in need of nothing to feel whole and
complete; “There are a lot of things I want but nothing I
need.”
Positive: verbal self-expression, initiate, action, ambi-
tious, determined, and pioneering.
Negative: aggressive, egocentric, overly driven, self-ab-
sorbed, overachieving, and single-focused.

Never (1)
Meaning:
“Never” vibrates to the number 1, with the isolated pioneer, new beginnings, and trailblazing energy.
The 1 is the only number not divisible by any other num-
ber so it is a stand-alone energy. “Never” emphasizes the
isolated and egocentric qualities of the 1. In the negative,
the focus of the 1 is exterior or ego-focused, limiting pos-
sibility or potential; “She’ll never take the leap; she doesn’t have it in her.” In the positive, the pioneering and trailblazing 1 takes charge; “Never say never!”
Positive: verbal self-expression, initiate, action, ambi-
tious, determined, and pioneering.
Negative: aggressive, egocentric, overly driven, self-ab-
sorbed, overachieving, and single-focused.
No (2)
Meaning:
“No” vibrates to the 2, the number of intuition, sensitivity, cooperation, and dualistic energy. In the negative, the dualistic energy of the 2 creates a separation
or a desire to be separate from whatever you are saying
no to. This separate energy also gives “no” a definitive
and firm response; “No, I’m not coming with you.” In
the positive, “no” has a similar stance with expressing
the desire to be separate, but with overtones of thought-
fulness, sensitivity, intuition, and harmony; “Thank you
for inviting me, but I have to say no to your offer.”
Positive: balance, cooperation, sensitive, intuitive, sup-
portive, and harmonious.
Negative: contrast, codependent, uncertain, submissive,
passive, and hypersensitive.

No Way (6)
Meaning:
“No way” vibrates to the 6, the number of creativity, the nurturer, and the visionary. The judgmental
and critical energies of the negative 6 make the phrase
“no way” a powerfully pessimistic statement limiting all
possibility; “There is no way I’m going to get this done.”
In the positive, the optimistic, forward-thinking vision-
ary opens the doorway to possibility; “There may seem
like no way to make this happen now, but where there’s
a will, there’s a way!”
Positive: creative visionary, certainty, balanced, nurtur-
ing, peace-making, optimistic, and forward-thinking.
Negative: pessimistic, judgmental, critical, worry-wart,
people-pleasing, doubtful, and gossipy.
Not (4)
Meaning:
“Not” vibrates to the 4, the solid, stable, practical, and balanced foundation number. In the negative,
depending on the use of “not,” the focus can be on the
impatience or loyalty of the 4; “I’m not going reach my
goal at this rate” or “She is not going to get away with
lying to me.” In the positive, the solid, stable, practical 4
says “not” is just a hurdle to overcome on the path;
“C’mon, it’s not that bad, let’s keep moving forward” or
“I’m not going to let a little setback stop me.”
Positive: endurance, progress, foundation, practical, bal-
anced, organization, solid, stable, and loyal.

ification, and self-absorbed.

Pain (4)
Meaning:
“Pain” vibrates to the 4, the solid, stable, practical, and balanced foundation number. Pain, whether it is
mental, emotional, or physical, is a result of some form
of loss or trauma. In the negative, the 4 loses the bal-
anced and solid energy it possesses and takes on the ad-
dictive, instant gratification, and self-absorbed traits to
deal with or process pain; “I just can’t deal with the pain
of this loss right now. All I want to do is sleep.” In the
positive, 4 is enduring, progressive, practical, and stable
in its outlook on pain; “No pain, no gain!”
Positive: endurance, progress, foundation, practical, bal-
anced, organization, solid, stable, and loyal.
Negative: materialistic, impatient, addictive, instant grat-
ification, and self-absorbed.

Problem (9)
Meaning:
“Problem” 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 right-and-
wrong, justice-seeking energy of the 9 makes “problem”
a matter-of-fact or black-and-white issue; “The problem is
that she’s too shy.” In the positive, “problem” embraces
the ambitious and idealistic energies of the 9, turning
“problem” into more of a challenge to be overcome;
“That’s no problem, I can handle it.”
Positive: humanitarian, ambitious, responsible, jus-
tice-seeking, idealistic, and unselfish.
Negative: driven, opinionated, judgmental, critical, black
and white, and narrow-minded.

Regret (1)
Meaning:
“Regret” vibrates to the number 1, with the isolated pioneer, new beginnings, and trailblazing energy.
The 1 is the only number not divisible by any other
number so it is a stand-alone energy. In the negative, “re-
gret” emphasizes the isolated and egocentric qualities of
the 1 and does not allow for seeing the deeper meaning
or truth in the cause of regret; “I regret saying those
hurtful things in anger but I don’t know how to make it
right with her.” In the positive, the 1 adds the deter-
mined and initiating energies to help resolve lingering
regret; “I regret blurting out that embarrassing state-
ment because it’s not what I really meant, but I’m deter-
mined to set things straight.”
Positive: verbal self-expression, initiate, action, ambi-
tious, determined, and pioneering.
Negative: aggressive, egocentric, overly driven, self-ab-
sorbed, overachieving, and single-focused.
Risk (3)

self-doubting and self-critical 3 isn’t willing to take the
risk; “I just can’t risk being hurt again right now.” In the
positive, the optimistic, imaginative, and inspirational 3 is
willing to risk it all; “Let’s do this! I just know this idea is going to go viral.”
Positive: analytical, intelligent, humorous, social, sensi-
tive, observant, unity, and inspirational.

Shouldn’t (5)
Meaning:
“Shouldn’t” vibrates to the 5, the number of the heart, emotions, and compassionate “freedom of expression” energy. In the negative, the dominating and
bossy energies take over and “shouldn’t” is less centered
in the more positive-focused, loving, and passionate 5
energy; “You shouldn’t wear that; it doesn’t look appro-
priate for your body type.” In the positive, the loving,
compassionate, flexible 5 energy may make a heart-cen-
tered suggestion but doesn’t push it on anyone, allowing
for freedom of expression; “I’m not saying you should
or you shouldn’t, I’m just sharing what I would do. It’s
your choice in the end.”
Positive: loving, sensitive, irregular, artistic, freedom-
seeking, passionate, and flexible.
Negative: uncertain, power-hungry, dominating, bossy,

Struggle (1)
Meaning
: “Struggle” vibrates to the number 1, with the isolated pioneer, new beginnings, and trailblazing energy.
The 1 is the only number not divisible by any other num-
ber so it is a stand-alone energy. “Struggle” emphasizes
the isolated and separated qualities of the 1 in the nega-
tive. When we feel separated or isolated, we believe there
is more of a struggle ahead of us; “I had to struggle for
everything I’ve accomplished with no help from anyone.”
In the positive, “struggle” is fuel for motivation of the
trailblazing and driven 1; “I’m determined to stop the
struggle and start living.”
Positive: verbal self-expression, initiate, action, ambi-
tious, determined, and pioneering.
Negative: aggressive, egocentric, overly driven, self-ab-
sorbed, overachieving, and single-focused.
Stuck (2)
Meaning:
“Stuck” vibrates to the 2, the number of intuition, sensitivity, cooperation, and dualistic energy. In
the negative, the dualistic energy of the 2 creates a sepa-
ration and a feeling of being stuck; “With all these bills,
I’ll be stuck in this job forever.” In the positive, the 2
strives to be a supportive, balanced, and cooperative en-
ergy or a team player; “stuck” then becomes more of a
wedge to be removed rather than a definite line separat-
ing sides; “I’m stuck on this problem, but I know just the
resource that can shed some light on it.”
Positive: balance, cooperation, sensitive, intuitive, sup-
portive, and harmonious.
Negative: contrast, codependent, uncertain, submissive,
passive, and hypersensitive.

the most active physical-plane number, the 7 desires to
be free to seek the deeper meaning in all things. In the
negative, the stubbornness of the 7 shines bright, resist-
ing stagnancy or being suppressed in any way; “I feel like
my true talents and gifts are being suppressed in this
job.” In the positive, being suppressed is viewed as a pos-
sible piece of the puzzle or deeper truth; “I’m a bit sup-
pressed in my creativity at the moment with other
things going on in my life, but I know I’ll get my writing
groove back as soon as things are less intense.”
Positive: wise, contemplative, achiever, truth-seeking, de-
termined, and hands-on.

negative, the focus is on the very practical, grounded,
and often skeptical energy of the 4, closing the door on
whatever is considered to be unbelievable; “I’m not buy-
ing his performance. It’s too unbelievable to be the real
deal.” In the positive, the steadfast and hardworking side
of the 4 leaves the door open to work toward achieving
what seems out of reach; “It’s too unbelievable to be
true, but stranger things have happened.”

portive, and harmonious.
