| Numerical Meaning Of Number Two |
| The meaning of "two" is found here. |
| Agrippa connoted the Duad with marriage and communion, but alternatively with division and evil. Agrippa continued the negative aspects of the Two by giving it the Emotional Level (primal and uncontrolled) base. General Characteristics: Modern Numerology isn’t nearly as harsh on its interpretations for Twos as the ancient Pythagorean symbology ascribed. In modern numerology Two is associated with emotion. Your receptive caring nature can get you in trouble if you allow yourself to be gullible as a Two. Patience, cooperation, working together as a team and trustworthiness are all aspects of personality associated with those with a Two Life number. You can be diplomatic if you so choose, and you normally are as you are receptive to those around you and willing to give everyone the benefit of the doubt. Twos are the personalities that can tell you where to go (and I’m not talking about a nice place) in such a way that you look forward to the trip…until you think about it for a while. Tact is the watchword for Twos. Equational Associations: Fadic Number: As a Fadic Number, Two indicates that you are well suited to employment where you have lots of contact with other people. You are definitely more of an emotional thinker and because of that you have to be wary of those willing to take advantage of you. Challenge; Personality; Name and/or Destiny Number: Two represents marriage and partnership along with imagination. Sensitivity in a wider sense is normally present. Romantic and caring in nature Twos are sometimes easily taken advantage of. Twos are considered to be emblematic of harmony and concord. The smallest of all “groups” Two is the helper, the true co-worker. Normally gentle and mild in manner they can seem like Dr. Jeckyl and Mr. Hyde because of the negative qualities of being indecisive and overly critical of people. The Two is the type that will give lots of help and then suddenly withdraw with no explanation. Life Number/Fate Number: Those with a Life Number of Two are normally found to be passive and receptive people. They harmonize easily with others around them and tend towards being emotional. The Two personality normally lives more in the emotional aspect of life than any other. Their deepened sense of emotional feeling makes them an easy target or mark for a con artist. A lesson for those with a Life Number of Two is that they need to learn to relax. It doesn’t all have to be done today. Psychic Number: Your Psychic Number relates directly to the numbers in your date of birth. Since the numbers of days in a month are limited, there are a limited number of equations or dates that can be reduced to any specific single digit. There are those that are born on the date itself and then nuances between the different birth days. Here’s some of the differences: 2nd – pure protective, sensitive and feeling; good memory; may hold a grudge 11th – complex, strong female/feminine characteristics, strong personality 20th – ultimate touchy-feely; tremendous capacity for caring for their fellow man 29th – difficulty with choices; idealistic and sensitive; giver to mankind Lover’s Match: Luckily, the negativity that Pythagoras and his followers gave to the number Two has faded through time. Many numerologists today assign Two with the significance of the ultimate partnership, the pairing of the perfect one with itself to make a greater whole. Here are some quick descriptions of how some of the pairings that end in Two are expected to interrelate. 1 + 1 = Sparks are sure to fly – either together or when you don’t see eye to eye. 2 + 9 = Intuitive understanding; mutual sensitivity; feelings easily hurt; insecure 3 + 8 = Good times; good conversations and discussions; generosity of spirit 4 + 7 = Physical and psychic connection; small sparks that grow to hot flames 5 + 6 = Lively conversation; mutual sacrifice for the betterment of the pair |
| Tarot Association: The Deuces or Twos of the Tarot deck speak about the pure energy of the elements in early combinations. The Two speaks of easy partnerships because they are only in their initial phases and deeper blending between the partners is not needed at this time. |
| The Twos associate combinations in their first stages when things are easy and simple. The purity of unsullied ground. Kabalistic Link: In Kabalistic theory, the number 2 is associated with Chokmah. Chokmah is associated with Wisdom and symbolizes the Crown of Creation. It is in the Two that the energy to move forward as a force to create is found. The first Three Sephiroth are called the Three Supernals. It is |
| here that sexuality and sensuality in their primal forms are found because it is both cosmic and spiritual. It is between Chokmah which is primordial maleness and Binah which is the elemental essential essence of feminine that the web of life is woven. Chokmah is the great stimulator of the universe – it is regarded as the ultimate positive male force. The Two was emblematic of Unity, Duality and Synthesis. Pythagorean Description: The numeral Two was referred to as the Duad. Two was considered to be the numerical representation of strife and audaciousness. |
| Two was considered to symbolized the flow of energy and/or thought from point to line to surface to solid. This is seen when you think about writing a number step by step. First, you place your pen or pencil on the paper (point) then you draw (the line) which creates a mark (surface) which when properly completed presents you with a number – a “solid” abstract representation. To Pythagorus and his followers the Duad was imperfection because it could be divided. By being divided it could only become lesser than itself was the proposed theory. Because of its association with separation it was felt to be symbolic of ignorance because it is through separateness that we become ignorant of our fellow man. The Duad was considered feminine, receptive. The duad was the all mother, the life giver (for 2 can be divided to two separate wholes). As the feminine Goddess figure Duad has been related to a wide range of goddesses from Juno (wife/sister of Jupiter); Erato (a Muse), Isis, Venus, to Phrygia and more. Another reason for the Pythagorean negative association with the number two was due to its association and representation of polarity. To mirror the creation light of the One, the Two must represent the darkness for it is the One’s opposite. However, the Duad could not be entirely negative (for nothing ever truly is completely one or the other) and as the mother figure she would also be the mother of wisdom. It is wisdom that takes ignorance from the darkness into the warm light of understanding. Called Maya, the underworld, or below world of the Pythagoreans was a mirror image of the above. It was the sea, the water, the transmutive. The great Void was held in the potential of the two. The Magi Of Persia carried mirrors to symbolize their searching for the inner knowledge by reflecting the light of knowledge from above. Disputes and discord were aligned with the Duad. “It takes two to tangle,” as we have often heard. Balance could only be established with the institution of the Monad between the Duad in order to achieve a balance. Christian theology displays this Monad/Duad association with the placement of Christ on the Cross between two thieves. Due to its dualistic nature, Two was considered negative to the Pythagoreans. One was the ultimate Truth and Understanding, realizing one’s point and association with the line of life. Duad was what kept one tied to the material world. The obvious sexual connotations and the negativity they received from ascetics is not to be understated. Connection with the higher power was sought. The Duad, through its connection with the physical (and by extension, material) world, was thought to be the anchor that held man down from achieving his higher self. Pythagoreans’ disgust with the number Two and the negative connotations that go with it carried forward through the centuries. Even as late as the 16th Century the great geomancer Cornelius Agrippa von Nettesheim, was still giving Two the strongest of negative connotation in his commentaries. |
