The Achievement Number and the Laws of Attraction

What is the Achievement Number?

The Achievement Number is a key vibration in your Numerology Chart. It acts as a central challenge, and you can measure any personal number against it. Most people leave it dormant instead of working on the solutions that bring balance and happiness.

When you express this number fully, the Laws of Attraction are activated. Obstacles to a prosperous, happy life fall away.

The number defines the main block between you and the unlimited abundance of the universe. It also reveals the antidote to that block. So it speaks of achievement in both the material and spiritual sense.

Calculating the Achievement Number is easy…

Add your birth month to your birth date. Someone born on March 6th has an Achievement Number of 3 + 6 = 9.

Be careful to keep all the numbers in the calculation; each one matters.

Take a person born on December 26th - 12 + 26 = 38, then 3 + 8 = 11, and 1 + 1 = 2. In modern numerology, a Master Number (11, 22 or 33) is always reduced. It stays written in the subtotal, though.

Chart readers keep the compound number when there is one. It shows the difference between one version of a basic number and the next.

Achievement Numbers and Their Challenges

Achievement Number 1

One is the number of individuality, self-directed action, and innovation. As an Achievement Number, it asks you to listen to your heart. Your heart knows the difference between enjoying the universe's abundance and grabbing what you want by force.

The challenge is balanced self-esteem. Release the ego's urge to control people and situations. Then your inner guidance works perfectly and attracts what you want, when you want it.

Achievement Number 2

Two is the most cooperative number. As an Achievement Number, though, it can show up as oversensitivity and shyness.

The challenge is to cooperate with others without letting their expectations steer your life. Speak up for yourself and your needs.

When you do, your intuition lands right on the mark. You attract what you want instead of what you've learned to settle for.

Achievement Number 3

Three can be a popular, creative vibration. As your Achievement Number, though, it often brings a fear of being judged.

You can beat the fear of success or commitment and still struggle to attract the life you want. The real cure is to stop worrying about being right and master something. Finish what you start, and don't be afraid to fail a few times. You will learn from your mistakes.

That is how true charisma and humor are born. Together they clear away the fears that keep you from enjoying life's luck and abundance.

Achievement Number 4

Four loves doing things by the book. If it's your Achievement Number, it's probably your book. Your love of order can be unfair to you and to others.

Being judgmental sabotages your ability to manifest your desires. Instead of feeling grateful for an experience, you decide it isn't good enough. With the Laws of Attraction, you tell yourself such things just don't happen, at least not to you. Overcome this, and you may be better than anyone at holding a vision of pure gratitude and prosperity.

Achievement Number 5

Five is the central number; all the others sit evenly around it. If your Achievement Number is 5, though, you may swing to extremes. Seeking pleasure at the edges can destabilize your whole vibrational matrix.

Your work is to hold the center and stay moderate in all things. Let universal abundance flow around and through you without knocking you off course. Master that steadiness, and happiness and prosperity come to you naturally.

Achievement Number 6

Six is the most responsible number. Yet as an Achievement Number, it can make you resent responsibilities rather than feel grateful for them. The likely reason is that you don't want the blame for other people's mistakes. You may also lean toward perfectionism.

That creates a real problem for the Laws of Attraction. The universe won't respond to the limits and rules you impose on it. Focus on being a compassionate nurturer. When you care for yourself and others, the universe cares for you.

Achievement Number 7

Seven can be the most trusting, scientific, or spiritual vibration. As an Achievement Number, though, it asks you to release the urge to analyze and manipulate everything.

You cannot plot and plan your way through all of life. You need faith, patience, and gratitude for the miracle of being human. Don't act at random because you feel bored or restless. You can too easily set up the psychic gravity that draws negative results. Let yourself be open enough to receive, and you will.

Achievement Number 8

Eight is the most organized and logical number, and it likes to lead. If 8 is your Achievement Number, a trap opens easily. You start to feel others deny you the respect and recognition you deserve.

You may decide the universe is not as generous as you'd like. Then you try to seize respect, recognition, and prosperity by force. The cure is to stop doing everything yourself. Be generous and grateful, and let others - and the universe - do things for you.

Achievement Number 9

Nine is the most compassionate and least ego-driven vibration. As an Achievement Number, though, it tends to take on other people's problems. Life can feel intense for you, because 9 holds the challenges of all the other numbers.

To activate the Laws of Attraction, become the soul of compassion. Turn your experience into tools that teach and heal others. Give without waiting to receive. Release the past, start each day fresh, and enjoy what comes to you with gratitude.

In summary…

Your Achievement Number can guide the specific changes that empower you to attract the life you want. It plays a role in every cycle, pinnacle, and personal year, month, or day. Its challenges can be met and overcome throughout your life.

Use it as a tool to build the life you want. That might mean better wellness, prosperity, relationships, or career. It might mean faster spiritual growth. Understanding your Achievement Number can unlock doors that have stayed closed - until now.
