ONE of the most valuable uses to which numer-ology can be put is to find by its aid the number assigned to any particular day. Then, when we have the number, it will be possible to learn a good deal about that day and, especially, how it will treat us, individually.
There is nothing very difficult about turning a date into its own number. There are four steps. First, you write down the number of the day of the month, and if it is a compound number, it must be reduced to a primary.
Second, you write down the number of the month and reduce, as before, wherever necessary.
For this purpose, the months are assigned their natural numbers, thus:
January 1 May 5 September 9
February 2 June 6 October 10
March 3 July 7 November 11
April 4 August 8 December 12 Third, you simply write down the number of the year and add up the individual figures.

Date Numbers 49
And, lastly, you add up the three answers.
This answer, when reduced to a primary number, gives the number of the day in which we happen to be interested.
To make all this clear, let us take one or two examples. Suppose you are tentatively consider-ing December 24th as your wedding day, and we will imagine that the year is 1959. Naturally, it will be very helpful to know the numerology number of this date. You proceed thus:
1st. The 24th day = 2 + 4 = 6.
2nd. The month is December and the table, above, assigns the figure 12 to this month. As twelve is a compound number, it must be reduced to a primary number. So 1 + 2 = 3.
3rd. The year 1959 is added thus,
1 + 9 + 5 + 9 = 24. Again, we have a com-pound number which requires reducing. In this case it reduces to 6.
4th. We now total up the three answers just obtained. They are 6 + 3 + 6 = 15. Reducing this to its primary form, we get 6. Therefore 6 is the date number of December 24th, 1959.
Now that we know that this day has for its Symbol the Number Six, how can the fact be used? First of all, we are supposing that you tentatively chose the day for your wedding.
This is evidently a personal matter, so how does the number of the day accord with your personal name number? In Chapter II you were told how
50 The Power of Numbers
to find this number of yours and by referring to Chapter I you are able to discover whether the Number Six pairs with your number or whether it vibrates, attracts or disagrees with it.
If your personal number pairs or vibrates with the number of the day you have tentatively chosen for your wedding, then go ahead and fix it definitely. If it attracts, you will probably do the same. In either case, the issue should be propi-tious; but if it disagrees, you will be advised to choose some other day for so important a function.
Naturally, it cannot be claimed that you have a personal interest in any and every day, such as we supposed in the previous case. Many days are merely passive as far as you are concerned.
Then, it would be useless to find the numerology number of the day and compare it with your own personal number. The comparison must be made in some other way. To make this clear, we will suppose that an earthquake takes place on a certain day, or a devastating fire occurs. There is no personal relationship with the earthquake or fire and you. Yet, you may wish to check up the day and find out whether it was a happening in accordance with the laws of numerology.
In such a case, the process of working will be as follows:
Suppose the earthquake takes place on July 15th, 1940. You, first, seek out the numerology number of the date, thus:
Date Numbers 51
1st. The 15th day = 1 + 5 = 6.
2nd. The month is July and the table of
months, already given, assigns the figure 7 to it.
3rd. The year 1940 is added, thus:
1 + 9 + 4 + 0 = 14. This compound number 14 resolves itself into the primary number 5.
4th. We now total up the three answers.
They are 6 + 7 + 5. This gives 18 or, in primary form, 9. Thus the numerology number of the date, July 15th, 1940, is 9.
Having discovered the number, the next step is to seek out its application. The following list gives the readings for the nine possible numbers.
It should be consulted in all cases in which no personal interest is at issue:
One symbolises heat and light, wisdom and love. It stands for progress and improvement.
Two symbolises procreation, fruition and the relation of all opposite things. It stands for doubt, hesitation and a lull of progress.
Three symbolises intelligence, consciousness and resolution. It stands for movement, change and business.
Four symbolises discernment, discretion and intelligence. It stands for work, reason and logic.
Five symbolises judgment, sympathy, benevo-lence and the fruits of action. It stands for good fortune, plenty and surprises.
Six symbolises peace, harmony, satisfac-tion and material well-being. It stands for

co-ordination, marriage relationship and a spirit of understanding.
Seven symbolises death, rest, wisdom and evolution. It stands for doubts, misunderstand-ings and darkness.
Eight symbolises revolution, rupture, separa-tion and expulsion. It stands for waywardness, loss and foolish actions.
Nine symbolises regeneration, the birth of a new era, voyaging and extensions. It stands for powerful actions, unexpected happenings and reformations.
