Strongly masculine numbers are those of Jupiter (3), Mars (9), and the original form of the Sun (1). Strongly feminine numbers are those of Venus (6) and the original form of the Moon (2).
Regardless of the numbers present in a person’s birth date, it is generally desirable—especially in childhood—that the full (= consonants+ vowels) first name number, full middle name numbers, full last name number, full Total Name Number (TNN), and consonants (in personal name, in last name, consonants total) predominantly support one’s core masculine or feminine nature. This is easiest to achieve within the 3–6–9 group. Within the 1–2–4–7 group, the number 1 is often the preferred primary choice (and males should avoid strong presence of number 2!).
Numbers associated with the opposite gender can still be present in a secondary role; in that case, they may indicate an ability to understand the opposite sex.
We evaluate name numbers (excluding vowels), and then especially the Total Name Number (TNN). For example, if a man has a TNN of 2 or 6, and his name numbers are also dominated by 2 or 6, he may become gay (or he may not; depending on other factors) or may otherwise develop an unconventional relationship with his masculinity and with women. If a woman has a TNN of 1, 3, or 9, and her name numbers are likewise dominated by those values, she may (or she may not!) become a lesbian or may otherwise develop an unconventional relationship with her femininity and with men. There is very little established numerological tradition in this area, and such “gay & lesbian” numbers are difficult to interpret reliably. Much also depends on astrological configurations and other factors.
If possible, regardless of gender, avoid giving children names that contain a strong 11 or most of its higher derivatives (29, 38, 47, etc.). Do not be misled by stories about “master numbers,” a concept introduced in the early 20th century by the Pythagorean numerologist Aso-Neith Cochran. Before her, Pythagoreans did not use the concept of master numbers 11 and 22—and neither did Chaldean numerologists.
Number 11 is generally associated with division and emotional suffering. It can indicate divorce and conflict in the parents’ family, and even more often in one’s own family. The essence of 11 reduces to 2, which is associated with the astral realm, the unconscious, fear, aggression, suffering, attachments, and emotions. Only individuals with a strong chart may channel the number 11 into resilience or fighting spirit. In general, however, this number is not a formula for success in life. It more often brings internal crises (sometimes identity crises) or challenges in family and social roles.
