When a Number Catches Your Eye
Readers, please enjoy this guest blog post by Michael Smith, author of Base-12 Numerology: Discover Your Life Path Through Nature’s Most Powerful Number.
We’re surrounded by numbers all the time, so much so they tend to become background noise in our busy lives. Still, occasionally a number jumps out at you and catches your attention—sometimes again and again. Maybe it’s the time on a clock, a date, a license plate number, a sales slip total, or a certain number of butterflies flying together. Whatever the case, rest assured that the number is showing up for a reason. If you believe in the Law of Attraction as I do, that your thoughts attract your reality, then that curious number is a sign from the universe helping you understand something about yourself.
Here are some tips to help decipher why a number may be showing up for you, along with an example to illustrate:
- Where did you see the number show up?
- What were you doing or thinking about when the number caught your attention?
- What/who first comes to mind when you think of that number?
- How does the number make you feel?
- What does the number mean in numerology?
Lately I’ve been seeing the number 441 a lot, and I mean a lot! It seems to be popping up mostly on my computer when I’m working on a new book idea or thinking of my first book that’s coming out in a couple of months (Base-12 Numerology). What first comes to mind when I think of that number is that it was the house number where I lived through to the end of high school. And the first thing I think of (and feel) when I recall that house is that it was one of the happiest times in my life, especially pursuing my passion for visual arts. When I moved away to study Engineering in university, I remember the excitement I felt about beginning that new phase in my life but also the anxiety of not pursuing a career in art. I eventually retired from a rewarding, 30-year career as an engineer without giving up art as a hobby, so everything worked out fine after all.
The numerology of 441 is found by adding the digits together until you get a single digit. In traditional (base-10) numerology, 4+4+1 = 9, which means completion. In base-12 numerology (the method I prefer), you first convert 441 from base-10 to base-12, which is 309, and then sum the digits as before. Here, 3+0+9 = 1×12 + 0 = 10 in base-12. As 10 isn’t yet a single digit, we sum again to get 1+0 = 10/1, which means new beginnings (1) through new beginnings (1) of potential (0).
As I’m going through a very similar phase today as at the end of high school, of beginning something new (as a writer) during a particularly fulfilling time of my life (as a numerologist and psychic medium), I feel that seeing the number 441 is just the universe encouraging me to courageously step forward as a new author without the fear of sacrificing my other passions and that, as before, everything will work out great.

Although he makes a terrific point
for the world manifest of physical form the base 10 numerology stems from the kaballah , Sanskrit, Egyptian,Hebrew as the spirit of the creator to the physical manifest, that seemingly outside that of physical realities to that created or the physical world an evolved essence which would suffice base 12.
