Do you wonder why people with the same Astrology sign or Life Path number can be so different? In Numerology, part of the reason is that your Life Path is made up of different combinations of numbers in your date of Birth. It's rare, but some people have unusually strong abilities predicted by multiply occurring numbers in their birth date. Are you one of them?

People who have intensity numbers in their birth chart tend to have imbalanced lives; they will have a certain area of great gifts and abilities, but will also have missing elements in their life they need to work on. And just as with missing numbers, intensity numbers give us great depth and diversity in our lives.

Determining Birth chart Intensity Numbers

Your birth chart has an Intensity number when a particular digit, (1 through 9), is used three or more times in your full Gregorian date of birth.

For example actor Brad Pitt was born on December 18th, 1963, so charting his birth date, we get:

12/18/1963 = (111)(2)(3)(-)(-)(6)(-)(-)(9) (intensity number: 1) (missing numbers: 4, 5, 7, and 8)

So, Brad Pitt has an intensity number of (1) on his birth chart.

Intensity (1)

You have tremendous potential for expressing your beliefs and ideas. You have so much ability in this area that you will be frustrated if life does not give you the chance to use this gift. You must watch the tendency to push yourself too hard; learn to pace yourself and great things will happen. Also, watch your diet; moderation here is the key.

Intensity (2)

You are a highly emotional person, sensitive to the feelings of others. Your need to shield yourself from emotional wounds which may cause you to build a wall around yourself; to appear cold or absorbed with yourself. This hardness of heart is foreign to your nature and may cause stress. You must watch your tendency to wait too long to take action when you are hurt, and the angry over-reaction that may follow.

Intensity (3)

You accent use of the mind and the imagination to the detriment of your body. You tend to daydream and live outside of the present. Learn to balance the needs of your mind with those of your body to achieve success. Moderate exercise or sports will be of great benefit to you.

Intensity (4)

You are extremely gifted with your hands and are compelled to use this gift in some manner. Learn to moderate your work habits; don't be a workaholic. You may feel trapped by some aspects of your life, finding it difficult to break free and avoid boredom.

Intensity (5)

You love to take risks and tend to live life in the fast lane. You are determined and dynamic. You have a sensuality about you, although you may not see it yourself.

Intensity (6)

You need to be more accepting of home and family as they are. Your loved ones must be free to learn from their own mistakes. You may experience stress when life takes you out of your home environment. You have tremendous creative talents, but they tend to be curtailed by your domestic attachments.

Intensity (7)

You have great wisdom and inner knowledge just waiting to be called forth. You will find the path of your life filled with obstacles, many of them of your own making. You tend to accept setbacks as your fate, your karma, and persevere at your task. You understand the lessons of sacrifice.

Intensity (8)

You are an entrepreneur born, with a keen nose for business. You need to work on keeping greed and love of material things in check. If you moderate this love, your powerful ability to judge other people will be a blessing to you. You tend to be restless and full of nervous energy.

Intensity (9)

You have a powerful intellect. You also have a passion for justice, to see fair treatment for all people. You are charismatic, a dynamo for causes in which you believe. Care must be taken to avoid being exploited by other people. Seek help from your friends in judging the character of those who would try to use you.
