In numerology, there’s a very interesting concept called the karmic debt number.

This is based on the idea that each of us is a spiritual being that has reincarnated again and again, and each time we are born and reincarnate, we reach higher states of awareness.

The idea of karma evolves from the idea that during several lived lifetimes we accumulate wisdom. We are also given gifts, which are either used or abuse. To rectify and overcome these mistakes made in a previous life, you might take on an additional burden in this lifetime, to learn a lesson that wasn’t learned before.
In numerology, this is referred to as a karmic debt.

**It’s important to understand that on a soul level, we have each agreed to take on a karmic debt. Your soul understands that it’s one pathway to growth, and has chosen to walk it.

The numbers that are said to reveal a Karmic Debt are 13, 14, 16 and 19. These double-digit numbers are very important if they are found in the Life Path, Expression / Destiny Number, Soul Urge, Personality or other numbers.

Each type of number has its own specific set of difficulties and challenges.

How to Determine Whether You Have Any Karmic Debt Numbers

When looking at your chart, you might encounter the numbers 1, 4, 5 or 7. These numbers are single digits that are calculated after adding together the aforementioned two digit numbers. Reducing 19, 28, 37 and 46 usually arrives at the number 1. All of these total to 10 and then can be reduced numerological to 1.

However, not all of these numbers that add up to 10 can be considered to be karmic.

Only the 19 reduced to ten is considered to be a Karmic Debt Number.

Karmic Debts are also found in the numbers 4, 5 and 7. These numbers become Karmic Debt numbers only when the 4 is found by reducing 13 (denoted “13/4”) or when the 5 is reduced from a 14 (“14/5”) or the 7 from a 16 (“16/7”).
