2. Unity
Two is considered a gentle force that seeks to end separateness and make peace between all entities. People who are twos excel at diplomacy and are champions of forgiving and understanding.
3. Creativity
Threes are great communicators – expressive, imaginative and full of youthful joy and charisma. They’re often found working in the arts and media, as their charm and wit propels them towards success.
4. The Worker
People born under the number four tend to be strong, steady types. They’re hardworking, trustworthy and patient, and provide a haven of security for others around them. To underscore four’s protective spirit, consider a safety talisman such as our arrowhead.
5. Change
While some people resist new situations, the number five, often called the human dynamo, is a fiercely independent sort who embraces progress, risk and new challenges. Set this free spirit soaring with a pair of Wing Post Earrings or acknowledge their role as society’s brave changeling with the Be Brave Charm Bangle, which benefits the Special Olympics.
6. The Nurturer
Also known as the “motherhood number,” six is the loving, compassionate presence that holds family and community together. Sixes are willing caregivers and teachers, sacrificing their own desires for others. Honor this nurturer with a Crescent Moon Charm Bangle, a piece that celebrates the moon as a symbol of the ultimate mother. Another good fit: our Bright Future Charm Bangle – proceeds go to UNICEF, which works to give every child a fair shot in life.
7. The Mystic
Sevens hold sway as the world’s ultimate seekers and thinkers, always looking for answers both academic and cosmic. As they dig for deeper understanding, they find hidden truths and gather meaningful information. This noble spiritual quest will resonate in a PATH OF LIFE Wrap, with its knotted design that represents our universal connection. Inquisitive personalities may also appreciate a Seek Knowledge Pull Cord Bracelet.
8. The Powerhouse
Eights are associated with money and authority, but they also symbolize infinity, as reflected by their unbroken, continuous shape. They possess infinite love, infinite good, and infinite generosity. Pick up the eight’s everlasting vibrations with an Infinity Adjustable Necklace or an Ouroboros Large Candle, an alchemical symbol of the great circle of life.
9. Completion
As the last single digit in numerology, nine represents the beginning and the end, which manifests as big-picture personalities who are often world travelers, intent on their mission to bring universal love and community to the globe. Applaud the compassionate idealist with the Arrows of Friendship Charm Bangle, sales of which benefit Best Buddies International, a source of friendship and aid to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities worldwide. The Dream Chaser Pull Cord Bracelet will also speak to those who want to wake up the world.
