Birthday Number | Trisha G International Numerology Consultant.

Birth Day Number

Your Birth Day number is one of your core numbers, one of the most influential numbers in your personal Numerology.

Derived from the date of the month on which you were born, your Birth Day number indicates which skills you possess, as well as any challenges you may need to overcome. Both are gifts that will help you along your life's path.

Calculating your Birth Day number couldn't be easier: it is simply the date -- and the date alone -- of your birth, unreduced. So whether you were born on January 10 or July 10, your Birth Day number is 10.

The month and year in which you were born do not matter, nor does it matter that a 10 normally reduces to a 1.

All that matters is that one single- or double-digit number defines the special talents that make up who you are.

You are highly sensitive, emotional and reactive. You bruise easily from the criticism of others, and can take some time recovering from such slights. You can be very inspiring. You possess the qualities of a visionary and are often able to excite others with your ideas for a better world. Your intuition and sensitivity lead you inevitably toward philosophical and idealistic pursuits.

You tend to inspire people to move in a specific direction, or adopt new methods of living. Your presence is galvanising. You have a good deal of leadership ability, as well. But your life stands more as an example for others, rather than for sustained or orderly leadership. You prefer to let people take up their own struggles once you have helped point the way, rather than be directly involved in the day-to-day activities of leadership. You have a great deal of determination. Once you set your mind on your goal, you will devote yourself entirely to it. Your sensitivity, however, makes your life a bit bumpy at times. You are highly aware of what others think, and, whether you care to admit it or not, the thoughts of others matter to you. You must work hard to maintain your own centre in the emotional storms you encounter. You work well with others, often inspiring them by your example and your idealism.

You do not do well in the business world, except perhaps in the role of advisor. Your mind works intuitively, rather than rationally. Your thoughts and actions tend to be dramatic. You explore and solve problems mainly through intuition. You are more a dreamer than a doer. You experience quite a bit of nervous tension and must use proper dietary practices -- especially the avoidance of too much fat and sugar and the inclusion of minerals in the diet -- in order to maintain the health of your nervous system.

12th

Your strengths

You possess a high degree of artistic talent that emerges in virtually everything you take seriously, your home, your cooking, the way you express yourself and any artistic endeavour you commit to.

You are highly imaginative and quick-witted. You can be the life of the party, entertaining people with stories, jokes or witty remarks.

You must learn to focus your considerable creativity in a given area or field. This will keep from scattering your energies in an endless number of areas.

13th

Your strengths

You have a great love of family, tradition and community. You are the foundation of any enterprise you commit to, doing your work with determination and precision.

You love things that are solid and grounded in the practical. Yet, you possess a considerable amount of artistic talent that is searching for concrete forms of expression. Not surprisingly, you love nature -- the ultimate union of beauty, form and function. You are a natural organiser and manager with an eye for detail. You can work hard, long and conscientiously. As long as you are taking good care of yourself, you have excellent concentration. You have to be careful not to become overworked to the point that you no longer take time to stop and smell the roses.

Your co-workers recognise your discipline and come to rely upon you. Ironically, you may feel that you have yet to find the work you truly love or were meant to do. There may be a feeling that your talents are buried too deep for you to find them. This can lead you to try many different vocations without a feeling that you have truly found your place.

Your challenges

Your challenge is to make the most of what you are doing right now. You must raise the work you are currently responsible for to a high degree of art. Make the most of what is right in front of you. The universe is guiding you always. You need to cultivate faith and a willingness to apply yourself to the matter at hand. If you refuse to develop such an attitude, you may wander from job to job, relationship to relationship. Use your considerable perseverance and determination.

You can be stubborn and rigid, refusing to allow new and creative ideas to penetrate your rigid adherence to established methods. This can, and often does, lead to frustration and repression for you. Things seem to take forever, especially when you resist bringing fresh approaches into your very tidy and comfortable ways of doing things. The keys to your success are your willingness to maintain order and discipline in your life, and to make the most of every opportunity that comes your way.

14th

Your strengths

You love change, excitement and travel. You easily become bored and need the new and the exotic to feel stimulated and alive. You are highly adaptable, which makes change easy for you. You have a gift with words and likely possess much talent as a writer or an editor.

You are highly social and work well with others as long as there are not too many restrictions to bind you. You get restless easily, a characteristic that can make you change vocations or relationships much too quickly. Major changes in your life should be studied well before you make them. You can be over-confident and headstrong, but you also tend to be lucky and a natural gambler.

Your challenges

Underlying your love of change is much insecurity. Beneath an exterior of calm or coolness lies emotional turbulence, which reflects itself in your life as rapid change and mercurial mood swings. Your challenge is to ground yourself in a particular profession or lifestyle that will provide limits and form for your considerable creativity. There are few things you cannot do, but the key to your success is balance. You must avoid making major changes just to escape the routine, or as a means of avoiding responsibility for difficult situations.

You are original and practical, but can be erratic. You have to force yourself to finish projects once they are started.

You must avoid the pitfalls of over-indulgence, such as sex, alcohol, drugs and food. By grounding in a particular field and committing your considerable talents to your work, you can make a great success of your life.

15th

Your strengths

You are highly creative and artistic. You also have a gift for languages. No matter what you do as a profession, your love tends to be the arts, especially the visual arts, such as painting, calligraphy or sculpture. There is a yearning within you to ground within the family or community structure, but there is a hint of wanderlust, too, which makes grounding difficult. You want the best in your life, and you strive for it.

Commitment to relationships -- especially home and marriage -- is a central issue in your life. You must be willing to bring out the best in your partner, or the place you live. In the same way, you must truly commit to your own abilities -- make the most of them! Honour your talent and cultivate it with hard work and refinement.

You are generous and understanding. As a parent, you are devoted to your children and can maintain stability and love within the family. You tend to be demonstrative in your affections. You are responsible but keep your own counsel and make your own decisions. You probably look young for your age. In addition to your artistic talent, you possess sound business and financial instincts. You tend to be thorough and conscientious in your approach to business, traits that pay off in the long run.

You have considerable talent as a healer, but need to develop the actual tools of the healing vocation in order to truly help others. You are multi-talented, and with focus and determination, you have great potential for success.

Your challenges

You are very sensitive. Criticism has a very negative effect on you. For this reason, you tend to support others to the point of denying yourself. You want to live according to the Golden Rule, which is that you treat others as you would want to be treated. You must beware of becoming too soft in relationships. People can see you as an easy mark, or abuse your well-worn shoulder, upon which many tears have been shed. Be more than a willing ear.

16th

Your strengths

Your over-powering orientation is toward the philosophical and spiritual aspects of life. You are driven to understand the unseen world. On some level, you feel like a foreigner on planet Earth. Your realm is the world of spirit. Your challenge is to find a way to ground that desire and understanding in practical terms so that it can be effectively shared with others.

You have a fine analytical mind that is capable of penetrating beneath the surface of the subject at hand. You also have the capacity for excellent concentration. You must use that mind to your greatest advantage. Investigate the subjects you love and gain the depth of knowledge in these fields. Specialise. Become an expert in a given area. This will give you a means of earning a living and personal power to share your wisdom.

You have excellent intuition and may even possess psychic ability. Trust your intuition and use it as a guide in life. But at all times, be practical in your application of your insights. Find concrete means of expressing yourself. Pick a field that suits you -- science, metaphysics, philosophy, psychology, teaching, for example -- and deepen yourself in its understanding. But beware of becoming overly dogmatic and shutting off from the truths of others.

Your challenges

The great pitfall you face is the choice of becoming aloof, mental and critical. This will result in alienation and even bitterness. You can also easily lift off the ground, becoming impractical and dreamy. If you indulge too much in flights of fancy, you may drift from reality and give up the possibility of earning an adequate living. You prefer to work alone, rather than in a group. You can easily lose interest in your projects, however, and must work hard to finish what you start. You have to have faith and let opportunities come your way -- you may miss out if you reach and seek.

You are very sensitive and feel deeply, but you don't share your feelings easily, nor do you communicate them well. The realm of the heart troubles you for its shifting, nebulous qualities. You must work hard to understand this area of life. You like to spend time alone to contemplate and meditate, but have to be careful not to withdraw too much. Long-term relationships are not easily established nor maintained.

17th

Your strengths

You are highly ambitious, and blessed with excellent business and financial instincts. Your approach to business is original, creative and daring. You are highly independent.

You have very sound judgment. You are an excellent manager and organiser. You are gifted with the ability to see the larger picture, and, remarkably, how the details come into play. You are efficient and can handle large projects.

You are self-confident and have high expectations of yourself. Interestingly, the expectations of others stimulate you, especially if they doubt you can pull off what you intend to do. You tend to be dramatic, especially with money. You have a need for status and may show off the fruits of your labor with an impressive car or house.

Your challenges

Your challenge is to avoid becoming obsessed with your own judgment and power to the point that you refuse to delegate authority or responsibility to others. You can easily slip into the role of dictator -- benevolent or otherwise -- feeling that you and only you has sufficiently sound judgment to guide the ship. Whether it is business or socially oriented, your ambitions spread out far and wide and you will not rest until you have placed your mark on the world. Avoid becoming domineering or possessive of your enterprise. Share the fruits of your labours with others, which will multiply your pleasure manifold.

18th

Your strengths

You are a born leader, an efficient manager, capable of organising and inspiring others. You are especially talented in the areas of politics, religion, art and law. You are highly creative and have an excellent understanding of people.

You are broadminded and should be educated in several different fields, particularly the arts. Many great artists are found under this number. You tend to be a late bloomer and must be willing to take your time before choosing a profession. You need experience and exposure to many different types of fields before you find the one area in which you will specialise.

You can relate to people in all walks of life. You will do quite a bit of traveling and go through many changes. At your base, you have a great dream for humanity. You want to improve the conditions of people, whether they are in your community, state, country or the world at large. This is where your deepest satisfaction lies -- with performing some task that will benefit others. You are able to express your feelings well, though a bit dramatically at times. You have a calm and even aristocratic appearance. However, beneath it there is a sense of frustration with not having received your due in life, either from parents, co-workers or your community.

You attract money from all work that is service oriented. The more you do for others, the more you receive -- spiritually and materially -- in return.

Your challenges

19th

Your strengths

You are highly determined and yearn for independence. You tend to struggle to achieve the degree of self-sufficiency you desire, and may endure considerable frustration in your struggle for independence. The reason: your desire for independence is so strong is that it eclipses so many other balancing perspectives. As the poet John Donne said: "No man is an Island unto himself ... we are all bits of the main." This is a central lesson in your life: to learn the difference between the dream of independence and the reality of interdependence.

You are highly ambitious and have a strong drive for success and power. Although self-confident, you like to be encouraged. You are a hard worker and an important fixture in any enterprise in which you are involved. People are attracted to your deep commitment to your work, and the steadiness with which you do it.

You are a pioneer at heart; you are willing to take risks to get what you desire. As such, you are willing to change your environment often, and even enjoy doing so.

Your challenges

Your challenge is to achieve a wider degree of perspective on yourself and others. Exchange ideas with others, lest you become insulated and isolated by your own perspective. This can become a kind of prison for you. You can be highly stubborn, which emanates from fear. Try to see that all of life is but an ecosystem, a life cycle delicately balanced in such a way that everyone is supporting. You are demonstrative in your affections and willing to sacrifice for others. You are highly idealistic, but if your ideals fail, you can become bitter and negative. You are very sensitive, with many emotional ups and downs. You tend to find yourself in dramatic situations, yet you like to control your emotions in public and come off as if everything is under control. With your determination and inventive and creative mind, you have potential for achievement and financial reward!

20th

Your strengths

You are highly sensitive and very impressionable. You possess great awareness and can sense the feelings of others, even when they try to hide their inner thoughts. Consequently, you are easily influenced by your environment. You are highly emotional as well, which makes you all the more subject to the changing winds within your surroundings. All of this creates a great need to develop and maintain your own centre. Once you have accomplished this task, life will become more manageable and less threatening.

You are especially moved by beauty, harmony and love. You give affection and need much in return. You especially need physical affection, that is, plenty of hugs and warmth. You like to spend time with family and friends. You are a cooperative partner and hate to be alone. Your talent lies in your keen insight and your willingness to act as an advisor to those who are able to wield power. You operate best as "the power behind the throne".

You are less an initiator, more one who sees a project through to completion. You are good with details -- not much escapes your attention. You are modest, diplomatic and polite. You have the ability to persuade others to your point of view by using gentle means. You are brilliant at making others think they are brilliant.

Your challenges

Your high sensitivity makes you aware of other people's feelings. You also act considerately. You must develop the ability to truly see how necessary you are to the success of any enterprise you enter. You are the glue that binds projects together. Speak up for yourself when necessary, but learn to quietly go about your business, confident in the fact that you are fundamental to any success.

You can be a bit impractical, however, and need others to give you sound advice. You are a good friend and a faithful companion. You attract sound people to you who gladly advance you along the lines of your talents.

Your challenges

You are energetic, responsible and helpful, but your sympathetic nature may cause you to interfere in relationships and get you into trouble. Know your limits. At the same time, you must avoid being taken advantage of.

25th

Your strengths

You possess a sound, rational mind and keen insight. You are logical and intellectual in your approach to life. At the same time, you have fine intuition, which, if you are able to listen to, will guide you well through life.

You are capable of investigating and researching subjects deeply. Your analytical skills force you to avoid taking anything at face value. This is where you are at your best: using your intellect to ferret out facts and information to deeply understand the matter at hand, and then make sound decisions. You would fare well in the sciences, teaching, philosophy, metaphysics and psychology.

You prefer to work alone and set your own pace. You tend to finish projects once started. You may possess artistic talent, especially in sculpture.

You are very sensitive and feel deeply, but you don't share your feelings easily and do not communicate them well. Work hard to develop and maintain deep and important relationships. Learn to share your emotions and deeper thoughts about life. Trust is the key to your emotional happiness.

Your challenges

Your challenge is that while you are using your mind to analyse life's issues, you must not neglect the heart. You can become easily imbalanced in favour of the intellectual, which can make you aloof, critical, and -- at the very worst -- cynical. Do not let your intellect rule your life to the point that it obscures the fundamental human qualities of understanding, compassion and love.

26th

Your strengths

You have a good sense of money and a talent for business. Your approach to business is original, creative and daring. You possess sound judgment and need to be in charge of whatever you are doing. You are a good manager and organiser. You have a gift for seeing the larger view, but may neglect the details. You are efficient and can handle large projects, enterprises or businesses.

You are a realist, self-confident, practical and highly ambitious. You can be very diplomatic and tactful. You prefer to get things done by persuasion rather than force.

You are dependable and have high expectations of yourself. You have a need for status and may show off the fruits of your labor with an impressive car or house. You can easily overdo such ostentatiousness, and may appear showy in the eyes of others.

You are proud of all you possess. You like to be complemented. You possess the strength and courage to succeed over any difficulty. You do not express your feelings much. It's hard for you to give up the past. You are generous and willing to help in a crisis. You can be philanthropic and a pillar of your community.

Your challenges

Your challenge is to maintain a balance between your material goals and the fundamental human qualities of understanding, compassion and love. Your business life can cause you to become callous and jaded toward others. Do not let the dog-eat-dog attitude become your only means of looking at life. All people have talents and karmic burdens -- maintain gratitude for all that you have been given, and share it with others to the extent that you are able.

You have strong character, but may be domineering and bossy. You have little patience with weakness, be it your own or someone else's. You have to be careful not to be discouraged too easily. Life will test your resolve and your willingness to get up off the floor after being knocked down.

27th

Your strengths

You are broad-minded and should be educated in several different fields, particularly the arts. Many great artists are found under this number. You tend to be a late bloomer and must be willing to take your time before choosing a profession. You need experience and exposure to many different types of people before you find the one area in which you will specialise.

You can relate to people in all walks of life. You will do quite a bit of traveling and go through many changes. You have a great dream for humanity. You want to improve the conditions of people, whether they are in your community, state, country or the world at large. This is where your deepest satisfaction lies: performing some task that will benefit others.

You are able to express your feelings well, though a bit dramatically at times. You have a calm and even aristocratic appearance. However, beneath it there is a sense of frustration with not having received your due in life -- either from parents, co-workers or your community.

Your challenges

Your challenge is to learn acceptance and forgiveness. There is an element of sacrifice in your life. You need to let go of all negative attachments. Any thoughts of revenge will backfire badly against you. You need to employ your spiritual and philosophical outlook in all matters in which the balance seems to have been struck against you. You attract money from all work that is service oriented. The more you do for others, the more you receive -- spiritually and materially -- in return.

28th

Your strengths

You possess a gift for leadership, but it is employed best through cooperative effort. Your means are generally gentle persuasion, rather than overt displays of power.

You are unconventional, idealistic and independent. You are extremely ambitious. You possess much self-confidence, but need much encouragement. You have an exceptionally analytical and rational mind. You are an excellent planner, with a talent for directing and managing groups of people. You easily become frustrated with routine activities. You're willing to take risks. There is a pioneer spirit in you. You like to be on the frontier of whatever you are doing. Once a project is started, however, you prefer to turn it over to others to run and maintain. You are a great starter, but are not much interested in keeping the show going.

You are highly emotional and enjoy demonstrating your love. On the other hand, you can become irritated and angry easily, and are given to tantrums. You are highly creative and have a great mind for marshalling facts in order to sell ideas. You make a wonderful debater and salesperson. With your determination and inventive mind, you have potential for achievement and much financial success.

Your challenges

You can be very stubborn and rigid once you have committed to an idea -- something you do more than you realize. You tend to identify with your ideas and do not like them changed; you have a powerful ego bond with most of what you do, which makes compromise difficult for you.

They are able to succeed in any area where they can demonstrate their intelligence, open-mindedness, and tact in dealing with people. It is not always easy to live with Number 29, as it is built on contrasts. These people are quite dominant and always respected for the strength of their character. At the same time, they have the softness of Number 2, which forces them to seek support. This is not a very strong feature, and it manifests itself only in the fact that they can need regular encouragement.

Your challenges

On the one hand, the tendency to impose their will on others makes them unpopular, but, on the other hand, their intelligence, practical thinking, and determination always brings them the respect of others. These people must fight their desire to dominate. People of Number 29 like to be popular, and dominant behaviours may not let them reach it. They must also learn to make the "bad days" right and to learn that nothing is really the end of the world. They are ambitious, and they should control their ambitions.

Peace of mind, will, honesty, and loyalty to their own ideas will always lead to victory over any circumstances.

You have a fine sense of harmony and art in everything that you do -- from your style of dress to the way you decorate your home. You have a gift with plants and flower arranging. You can make a wonderful interior designer and a fine cook.

Your challenges

You can be moody and subject to rapid ups and downs. You can waste your talent in too much socialising and not enough focus and discipline. Be careful not to waste time and energy on trivial matters. Keep your long-term priorities in perspective.

31st

Your strengths

You have a great love of family, tradition and community. You are the foundation of any enterprise you commit to, doing your work with determination and precision.

The keys to your success are your willingness to maintain order and discipline in your life, and to make the most of every opportunity that comes your way.

Your challenges

You have to be careful not to become overworked to the point that you no longer take time to stop and smell the roses. Your challenge is to make the most of what you are doing right now. You must raise the work you are currently responsible for to a high degree of art. Make the most of what is right in front of you. The universe is guiding you always. You need to cultivate faith and a willingness to apply yourself to the matter at hand. If you refuse to develop such an attitude, you may wander from job to job, relationship to relationship. Use your considerable perseverance and determination.
