Numerology is a world of science that applies numbers to help unveil personality traits and qualities. It enables the creation of a complete picture of a person by merely applying their birth date. Within this practice, the Numerology Grid or Numerology Chart serves as the primary key for predicting an individual’s personality. Furthermore, the use of Arrows within these Grids aids in determining one’s strengths and weaknesses. These arrows, also known as a Lou Shou Grid, are imaginary lines formed due to the birth numbers used. In this chart, specific numbers appearing on empty boxes in a diagonal, vertical, or horizontal manner are referred to as Arrows. Factually, there are a total of fifteen such lines or arrows formed in a Numerology Chart. In a more profound sense, each arrow is believed to represent a particular characteristic, trait, or special quality of an individual. Unlike Astrology, it is not necessary to have the time of birth along with complex calculations to depict future events in numerology.
Surprisingly, it is not important that arrows appear in every numerological chart. If there are no arrows in a chart, it is not necessarily a bad thing; rather, it reveals a character of a flexible personality. This means the individual will go great with anyone, having no problem adjusting to circumstances. Nevertheless, it is likely that most charts may have them, and these arrows surely have a certain deeper sense to throw light on a person’s characteristics, leaving valuable clues to unleash more.
The Formation of Arrows: Strengths and Weaknesses
In a numerology grid, arrows are categorized into Arrows of Strengths and Arrows of Weaknesses. These get formed as per the numbers or their absence, which may be aligned in a certain pattern basis the date of birth.
Arrows of Strength
The Arrow of Strength occurs in a numerology grid when three numbers appear together either in a horizontal row, vertical column, or diagonal. Individuals with Arrow of Strength possess a league of positive characteristics with the audacity to overcome challenges. Significantly, they will possess potential capabilities and a covetable character.
Arrows of Weakness
The Arrow of Weakness is the opposite of the Arrow of Strength. It gets formed in a Numerology Chart when empty boxes, owing to missing numbers, form a certain pattern—vertical, horizontal, diagonal, or on a certain plane. When three empty boxes appear alongside in a row, whether vertically, horizontally, or diagonally, the existence of an Arrow of Weakness is confirmed. With that Arrow of Weakness, individuals undoubtedly have certain traits that point to their weaker qualities. These arrows are so called because they expose the areas in the chart where the person needs to put in maximum effort to bring about a change. In order to improve the quality of life, the arrows of weakness provide a good starting point for such an endeavour.
Specific Arrows of Weakness and Their Interpretations
The provided source data identifies several specific Arrows of Weakness, each formed by the absence of particular numbers. These arrows highlight areas where individuals may face challenges or need to focus their efforts.
The Arrow of Indecision
The Arrow of Indecision is rarely found as it is made up of a line of spaces created by missing numbers 1, 5, and 9 in the chart. While nobody has had this arrow in the past millennia, the twenty-first century promises to see many people with this arrow again. Individuals with the arrow of indecision may have a likeable and caring disposition. While they hold good intentions towards all, they also find it difficult to make decisions in situations that call for pleasing everybody.
The Arrow of Sensitivity
This arrow is composed of spaces where numbers 3, 5, and 7 appear. As a consequence, people with such a chart tend to be overly sensitive and are prone to getting hurt too much too soon.
The Arrow of Frustration
The arrow of frustration is formed if the numbers 4, 5, and 6 are missing from a person’s Numerology chart. This is like a dividing empty line running right through the middle of a Numerology chart. People with this arrow usually have a fatal flaw: they expect a lot from others.
The Arrow of Will-Power (Missing 4-5-6)
For example, if there is NO 4-5-6 in someone’s birth chart (a complete missing arrow of will-power), there is a circle of frustration. A circle can be a row, column, or/and a diagonal. The presence of a circle in any person’s birth chart shows his/her major personality trait (natural weakness). However, there are measures to reduce these weaknesses in Numerology.
Other Historical Arrows
Other arrows mentioned include one formed by the absence of numbers 1, 4, and 7. This arrow has not appeared in anyone’s Numerology chart since the last thousand years, but from the twenty-first century, it has started appearing in charts of those born in the last ten years or so.
Another arrow is indicated by the absence of numbers 7, 8, and 9 from a person’s chart. Nobody born in the twentieth century had this arrow because of the Number 9, but from the twentieth century onwards, there will be people who will have this arrow in their charts.
Pythagoras Arrows in Numerology
These arrows are also fancily referred to as the Arrows of Pythagoras in certain books or texts. Whether Pythagoras did make use of these arrows for calculating some stuff or vice versa, there are many stories revolving around it. However, it is stated that these Pythagoras Arrows were reintroduced to the Western World by Dr. Hettie Templeton in 1930. In her book – Numbers and Their Influence, she described these Lou Shou Grid arrows that help predict future events.
Remedial Approaches and Holistic Perspective
Numerology is not just about finding the weaknesses or strengths of an individual. In a broader sense, it also helps to overcome limitations with the help of certain remedies or following a set of habits. If one is stuck somewhere in life path and not able to find a solution, then definitely readings of Numerology can help to find a pathway. It is suggested that with certain remedies and taking care of a few things, the Arrow of Weakness can be well utilised in one’s favour.
While arrows of weakness point to traits that require attention, the absence of arrows in a chart reveals a flexible personality, capable of adjusting to circumstances. This perspective allows individuals to view their chart not just as a set of fixed traits, but as a map for personal growth and understanding. The arrows provide a starting point for self-improvement, highlighting areas where effort may be needed to bring about positive change.
How to Make Numerology Grids & Charts
To learn about Arrows of Strengths and Weaknesses, one must first construct a Numerology Grid or Birth Chart. The following steps are generally followed to draw a Birth Chart:
- Draw a blank 3 by 3 square chart on a paper.
- Write down the complete Date of Birth (Gregorian calendar) on the paper separately (e.g., 23-10-1982).
- Ignore Zeroes (0) in the date of birth (e.g., for 23-10-1982, the digits are 2, 3, 1, 1, 9, 8, and 2).
- Place each digit in its appropriate square of the Birth Chart according to the Pythagorean Birth Chart system.
By following these steps and observing the alignment of numbers or empty spaces, one can identify the presence of the fifteen possible lines or arrows, thereby gaining insights into their personality and destiny.
Conclusion
The study of arrows in numerology offers a unique lens through which to view personal strengths and weaknesses. Whether an individual possesses the audacity of the Arrow of Strength or faces the challenges of the Arrow of Weakness, the chart serves as a tool for self-awareness. From the Arrow of Indecision to the Arrow of Frustration, each pattern of missing numbers highlights specific areas of life that may require additional effort or understanding. By acknowledging these traits and utilizing suggested remedies, individuals can navigate their life path with greater clarity and purpose, turning potential weaknesses into opportunities for growth.
