In life numerology every number belongs to one of the Five Elements:
- Metal: 1 and 6 — linked to the lungs and large intestine
- Water: 2 and 7 — linked to the kidneys and bladder
- Wood: 4 and 9 — linked to the liver and gallbladder
- Fire: 3 and 8 — linked to the heart and small intestine
- Earth: 5 — linked to the spleen and stomach
Counting your elements
Sort the numbers in your chart by element and count each one, and you can see how your energy is spread. An element that appears a lot is strong; one that's rare or absent is weak.
- A strong element is your most powerful energy, but also the one you overuse — the related part of the body works hardest
- A weak element is where you need support, through habits, food and colour
No pattern is good or bad. What matters is knowing which way you lean.
Elements and colour
- Metal: white, gold, silver
- Water: black, blue, grey
- Wood: green, teal
- Fire: red, purple, orange
- Earth: yellow, coffee, brown
Your lucky colours depend on how strong or weak each element is in your own chart — not only on your core number. The full report works them out for you.
