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.
