Number Meanings

Each letter corresponds to a particular number. Note that each double-digit number must be reduced to a single digit, by adding them together. For example, the letter “w” is a 23 – 2+3=5; therefore, the letter “w” is a “5”.

 Listed below are the general characteristics of each number. Keep in mind that people are a compilation of different numbers.
