Numbers and their Corresponding Elements (2024)

Under Numerology, the numbers appearing in one’s birth chart are believed to be analogous to the five elements of nature. These elements lend them various unique characteristics.

Numbers 3 and 4 come under the wood element. This element gives them characteristics like innovativeness, creativity, speculativeness. Consequently, if these numbers are absent from one’s chart, it is interpreted as the absence of wood element in their life. To compensate this absence, one can add objects like live plants, bonsai trees, grass, shrubs, potted plants, etc as decoration in their homes representing the wood element.

The number 9 comes under the fire element. People with this number in their birth chart are influenced by the fire element that makes them overwhelming, enthusiastic as well as motivating. Thus, absence of the number 9 in one’s chart indicates the absence of fire. On such an occasion, the absence can be balanced by surrounding the individual with colors denoting fire such as shades of orange like vermillion, shades of yellow like amber or ochre, shades of red like scarlet and more. One can even use luminous or light-emitting objects like lamps.

Numbers 2, 5 and 8 come under the element of earth that makes a person determined and consistent. Absence of these numbers indicates lack of the earth element. To balance this element, one can use items directly connected to the Earth such as stones, rocks, gemstones or crystals. The usage of metals should be avoided as it involves a completely different element than earth.

Numbers 6 and 7 come under the element of metal which gives an individual bravery or valor and courage. The absence of these numbers, or in other words, the absence of the metal element can be balanced by using objects like metallic jewellery, amulets, chains, lockets worn by the person in concern or by using metallic show-pieces like statues, etc for decoration and more.

Finally, the number 1 comes under the element of water. It gives, an individual, qualities like outspokenness and the confidence as well as ability to socialize well and often. Anyone who lacks this number in their chart can add objects in colors like black, azure, blue or cerulean.
