Bosnian numerology

We live in a world of numbers. Literally, our every moment is predestined by them, therefore numbers one way or another constantly determine our faith, both individual and group. Numbers identify us, predetermine and guide. Qualify our luck and potentials. They are a symbol of time, all energy which rests in the infinitude of numbers is contained within them. Numbers denote how long our physical bodies exist, when certain important actions took place on a material level, and often it seems to us that it is their only purpose. But, it isn't like that. Remember, we are all different, there is no twin or physical doppelganger who can think identically and act like the one he wishes to copy. Yet, we are connected by various similarities since people are energies which permeate, match or repel each other.



We are all functioning on the principle of order, since energy, if it doesn't have its determined channels, dissipates and gets lost. For this reason even the oldest world myths state that there was once a disorder i.e. a lot of energy was dispersed throughout the universe, unconnected and unusable. Then the creators thought of bringing all that energy in order, give it a concrete meaning and shape. It is interesting that during that the forces of creation were of a smaller numerical range than the one they were up against, nonetheless the conflict itself spurred an action of unification and creation of harmony from which life sprung up. Even the name "ordinal numbers" tell us that they were created to bring order, they are sorted in such a way that every following number is stronger and larger yet in spite of that it cannot exist without the weaker ones, which precede them. This suggests to us that energy which is of a smaller volume always creates or moves the larger one. Ancient rule of the universe.

Answer for everything is inside of us

Coincidence in human lives do not exist! Everything that happens to us has its sense and concrete meaning. If we are here, on planet Earth, then it means that we are here on a specific mission which we must fulfil. Out of that fact we can easily conclude that neither our date of birth is a coincidence, but is positioned to an appropriate place. This is our start position whose numbers are not only a register of birth but an information about us, our character, potential, flaws and virtues. If we manage to decipher them correctly and order them we will manage to understand ourselves, realised through life which is the most important thing - be happy and content.

Scientists determined that based on extensive research, life circumstances affect luck by only 10% (1), for about 50% (5) genetics is to blame, while the remaining 40% (4) our mind plays a major role, i.e. how they interpret our everyday lives. Why am I mentioning these stats? For a simple reason - every change flows from us! And in order for it to take place we must be aware of ourselves, our flaws and virtues, in order to accept them and in the end use them to our advantage. Generally, it doesn't sound like something unattainable. But, here awaits our first issue.

People are more and more prone to blaming bad karma and debt that they carry for their failures. Karmic debt doesn't refer to the entire human life but only to one period or even one event i.e. person, and it is represented in the numerical card by number 1 - which is a symbol of heritage. It is a starting number and it appears in the numerological circle right behind number 9 which is a symbol of foetus and new life. In Bosnian numerology number 1 is a symbol of luck (nafaka), whose symbology was determined towards traditional beliefs that God himself (number 1 i.e. monotheism) bestowed luck to humans. Will we know how to use this luck is primarily up to us, our mind and subconscious, better yet, our thoughts and thinking patterns.

How numbers are analysed

Numbers are analysed in various ways, they have numerous meanings and reveal events both in an individual's life as well as worldly events. Of course, everything that I say here is only a small fraction of a large mantic discipline called numerology. There are dozens of systems of interpretation and analysis which are based on various directions and every one of them have their quality and uniqueness. But, you have the opportunity to read something about Bosnian numerology which in certain segments of interpretation differs significantly from the classic one based on astrology. Roots of Bosnian numerology are found, first of all, in the mantic discipline of bean divination, which is in turn based on a numerological division of the number of beads in horizontal, vertical and diagonal directions and the circle of destiny i.e. Bosnian horoscope. A smaller portion of knowledge about numerology comes from traditional and religious beliefs, which in a subtle way are complemented with dominant segments of favomancy and horoscope signs.



When analysing someone's date of birth, then all numbers are reduced to single digit numbers, for example, for someone born on 10.11.1947. we calculate in the following way: 1+1+1+1+9+4+7=24, 2+4=6. Six in Bosnian numerology is the number of the mother which is overly dominant or passive, it always represents a problematic relationship which lacks emotions or we're talking about a dominant parent who is the main culprit of insecurity and complexes. If number 8 appears as the final number then we are talking about the father. Then this information is tied and combined with all those represented by the numbers in five rows and in such a way one reveals potential and weaknesses of an individual; and detect areas of success, harmony, etc. What is particularly important is the analysis of numbers which are missing or which are too pronounced. That numerological deformation creates unnecessary loss of energy or blocks the individual in certain life areas and creates great difficulties for him. A unique method called "movement of numbers" was found very successful in treating the issue of bringing a person into harmony, who has pronounced numbers or missing numbers. We will discuss this technique later.

Numbers from 1-9 are divided into four elements and a final fifth, which is universal since it unifies the others, connects them into a five-pointed star which represents the human body with five protruding limbs - head, arms and legs.

Air: 1, 2
Fire: 3, 4
Water: 5, 6
Earth: 7, 8
Star: 9

Element air: persons with air numbers often have a high opinion of themselves, they are vain, get offended quickly, headstrong which all together makes them extremely negative an vulnerable. They're mostly emotional but stubborn and they can go against their own interest. They're moody, prone to change their decisions. They have a hard time giving something up as well as to come to terms with break ups or injustice.

Element fire: though this is a symbol of passion and energy it is often a sign of shallowness, therefore people born in number 3 and 4 have a large issue when it comes to experiencing real emotions and feelings, for which they suffer. They're prone to show off in front of others, they have a competitive nature, provocative, they show off unconsciously through sex, they're prone to sudden outbursts of anger and domination.

Element water: persons born in numbers of water have an extremely priceless gift - feeling deep emotions and feelings, which can often present a real curse and bad luck if they don't have harmonized numbers in the numerological card. This is why these persons can often get emotionally blocked. As their element, person with numbers of water search for their place under the sky their entire lives a place where they will be safe and stable. The negative side of the water element is fear and uncertainty.

Element earth: persons with numbers 7 and 8 strive for stability, to stand firmly on the ground. They're rational, practical and objective. Negative side of their element is that there is a possibility for them to be separated from reality, or that they don't have a realistic picture of themselves and others, similarly, a stubbornness is present which leads to auto destructiveness, just like an earthquake. Earth gives fruit so too they like to take care of others, be creative and create.

Element star: number nine i.e. star is the symbol of the soul, while the four elements make the parts of the human body. Through the star in the middle of the forehead, according to the Illyrian-Bosnian belief, humans are connected to their star in the sky (universe). Exactly for the above mentioned those born under this number have a strong need for connection with others. This represents a certain handicap for them since they become uncertain, sometimes they have difficulty accepting themselves, they're trying to get lauds, fulfil others expectations. They're adorned by naivety, nine is like 8 "movable" number i.e. it can become 6 while eight when it is turned around stays the same, at least at first sight.

Matching numbers

Though there is a extensive analysis of numbers, there is a pretty simple table of matching and mismatches between numbers. According to it numbers 1, 4, 7 match numbers 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 9. There is no harmony between 1-7, 2-5, 3-8, 6-9. The most desirable partner is a person born under the number 5. Those persons are adorned by an important characteristic - they're adjustable.

To make a numerological card of a person, according to Bosnian numerology, it is necessary to know the following data: date of birth, first and last name of the client, name of the father and mother. Let's take this example: Admir Okanović, born 12.3.1987, mother Sibila, father Arman.
Date of birth: 1+2+3+1+9+8+7=31/4
Admir Okanović - 14499 62156493 = number of the name is 27/9, number of last name 36/9
Sibila - 1+9+2+9+3+1 = 25/7. We're counting number 7+9 (last name) = 16/7
797
Arman - 1+9+4+1+5 = 2 = /2. We're counting number 2+9 (last name) = 11/2
292
First row: 3 3 7
Second row: 9 9 9
Third row: 7 9 7
Fourth row: 2 9 2
Fifth row: 4 9 9 (first row is 4, second row is 9 = 13/4. Then, third row is 23/5 and fourth row is 13/4 = 9.

Numbers which are missing: 1, 5, 6, 8.
Accentuated numbers: 9, 7, 3, 2



Numbers which are missing

Those numbers which are missing i.e. which are missing in the five rows of numerological card are called "missing numbers" and they point to a lack of some characteristics or even lack in character traits of the person. Revealing those important details suggests what is necessary for that person to harmonise better. Similarly, missing numbers warn us about important lessons which that person needs to learn in order to pass through certain experiences, or which habits it should develop. This all has a goal to complete the personality, activating those segments of the personality which are missing on the road of self awareness and achieving a good quality of life.

Accentuated numbers

In five numerical rows there is often an iteration of same numbers or more of them. Those are accentuated numbers which de-stabilize someone's character and lead him into an extreme. All of this, of course, is not productive at all and often represents an issue for the person since accentuated numbers dominate in their character. Examining the numerical card we detect problematic numbers and we are looking for a way to marginalize their influence in order for the other numbers/characteristics to come to the fore and so enrich the life of that individual.

Person whose final number is 1 has very good chances of succeeding in life, especially if we take into account that this is the first of single digit numbers and by that has priority over the others. They attract luck and if they're wise enough and gauged they can achieve meaningful life achievements, especially in their career. They're full of energy and feisty. But, that energy is often times raw and makes them stubborn, rigid, takes away their patience and understanding. It is difficult for them to compromise. They prefer others adjusting to them. They love to dominate both in their love and business relationships. Energy wise they deplete quickly therefore in number 1 we have the largest numbers of energy vampires.

Number 1 has the bad luck that despite all of their character qualities they can easily become lonely.

Their head is often "in the clouds" with a tendency to cause unnecessary issues for themselves with their impulsive nature. The thing which makes the weaker side of their character is the tendency towards anger, egoism, narcissism but also stinginess. Many of them spend a good part of their life living in illusions and delusions. The need for loneliness is not strange to them, they fall into a depression or distance themselves from others. Number 1 rules over the spine, nose and penis.

Number 1 according to its shape is in the form of the Arabic letter Elif (Aleph), it is symbolised by the mighty sword of hazrat Alija, the successor of the last messenger of God, Muhammad, and as such this number represents, besides leadership and beginning, heredity, legacy of any form. Number of religion, i.e. monotheism.

One is after all number of the start of war, conflict, but also supports the creation of a quasi movement, fanaticism, terrorism, in the period where number 1 is accentuated, revolutionary ideas are born.

Person whose final number when summing the date of birth is 2 is after all simple, of a peaceful nature, is not intrusive. Possesses incredible mental strength. The thing that adorns them is pride, certain graciousness and observance of their principles. BY nature they are loyal persons, emotional connection is extremely important to them as well as stability in the relationship. They're often not prone to big words nor too much communication, but they are very intelligent people, whose intellect and capability, unfortunately, often times are left unutilised. In life this person is often opposing itself, in doubts and suspicions. As a result of such thinking he can easily become a braggart, unreliable partner, a suspicious person which sees conspiracy and intrigue against him, in all things. That's why it has a tendency towards exaggeration. It can become rancorous, defiant and stubborn. Often they are persons that have the issue of connection with reality.

Number two rules over the neck, spine and knees, which are usually weak points of people born under this number.

Number 2 is the number of the universe, dualism. Two top principles contained in the Bogomil teachings about the god of good and god of evil. This numbers besides partnership, connection, connectivity, also represents a state, state service, especially court and police, army. In its adverse meaning 2 marks large catastrophes, regime changes, earthquakes and floods. It also signifies rulers from the shadow, hidden powerful individuals.

Persons whose final date of birth is the number 3 are by default prone to complicate their lives, often times they have difficulties to come to fruition, they would always want something but wouldn't know themselves what it is. They often have the need to lie and act, especially women. They strive to be productive, because of the desire to be noticed, which is a reflection of lack of confidence, self control but also a sign of superficiality.

They're emphatically emotional, fall in love easily and enjoy the attention that a partner provides. Person of this number is capable of sacrifice and to become the pillar of the person which it loves. However, egoism is not strange to them since they allow themselves a certain freedom in their relationship or marriage, which is not approved by their partner. They have a fear of loneliness. They're fertile.

People that have this number are often successful at work, a career is very important to them. Actually, money gives them a feeling of safety, to which they strive constantly. They like to be independent, especially in business. Their negative characteristics are lack of understanding, empathy, unfaithfulness, pliability. A lower type of person under the number 3 is prone to lying, pretending, domination.

Three is a number of a man - he possesses spirit, soul and body. This number represents public institutions, political parties, announces large rallies or protests, especially if it is in the vicinity of a negative number.

Persons whose final sum number of date of birth is 4 are in a constant silent fight with the desire for freedom and change and traditional life. This makes them frustrated and causes sudden mood swings with them. Through life they often come across limitations which they unconsciously impose on themselves. Their love relationships end suddenly and painfully. They enter relationships without too much thinking, they're prone to self-deception, which often ends up in being disappointed in their partner. They're temperamental and passionate. They're highly sensitive of criticism and experience them emotionally. Yet, in this number wisdom is pronounced which comes with experience and time. For this reason they become a backbone and support for others. They love their home which they always refurbish or decorate. Care for the family is imperative for them, but they are immoderate, and there lies the source of their unhappiness since over time they get tired and become depressed.

Four is the number of energy, vitality and our libido. It signifies human consciousness. Symbolises the house, family, every type of space, material possession. It is the number of nature and the Grand Mother.

In negative connotation this number restricts, and represents a prison, dungeon, camp, hospital, loss of freedom, the right to chose, is a sign of trauma, domination, etc. Period in which this number is extremely strong causes an increased number of murders, suicides and various excesses.

Five is the number which is graphically depicted "in motion" which immediately suggests that persons whose final sum number of birth is 5 are prone to movement and travel. This is a number which is represented by a hard straight line, in the upper part, and a soft flexible half-circle in the lower part, and for that reason exactly, persons of this number affect differently others compared to how they actually are. Most of them at first glance look serious, distanced or authoritative but when one gets to meet them it is easy to see that they are approachable well meaning persons. Similarly, a person whose final number is 5 is resourceful, flexible, often eloquent. Loves to learn and acquire new knowledge. They're emotional and prone to sacrifice themselves for their partner and family.

Five is the number of inwardness, everything that is in the middle, represents the womb, internal organs, a people of a country. It represents our ancestors, genes. In the negative connotation number 5 causes diseases, injuries, emotional crises. It creates pressure, stress and pushes in the negative connotation. This number is the symbol of warning - it appears prior to large events and disasters. That's why it is called "the number of destiny". Symbolises periods of scarcity and hunger and with that economic crises.

Six is the number represented "falling" which signalises that persons whose final sum of the date of birth is 6 spend too much energy or time on things or individuals which are not worth it. Their trajectory is clear and direct and reveals how stubborn they are and that finally they're missing a desire for general change. They're not dedicated to everything that is important in their life with the same zest and they can often be sloppy. That's why they don't have a lot interests in life. They're picky and petty. Unsure of themselves but they're trying to hide it as best as they can from others. Fear is their main problem, it often complicates their entire life, and drags them away from concrete changes. That's why they're usually unhappy and dissatisfied. They're emotional. Often their emotional side is more pronounced than their sexual side.

Six is a graphically upturned number nine and that's why in Bosnian numerology it represents upheaval, betrayal, sudden changes, periods of uncertainty, and in its negative symbolism it represents connection with the lower world, death, miscarriage, surfacing of everything negative and bad, bad mouthing. Part of the decisions made in this period often prove to be very bad. It is the number of aggression which when summed with 5 (6+5 i.e. aggression plus people) becomes number 11 - convicted mover of disasters which surely change the picture of the world but also society in its entirety.

Persons whose final number is 7 will have to face painful events throughout their lives, losses and disappointments, but it won't be in vain since it will bring them deserved happiness and peace.
For people born under this number, lying is not an issue, they do it often when they believe it is necessary, whether in their private or business lives. But, they rarely do it out of a negative intent, instead they do it to make things easier for themselves. Their biggest weak point is - insecurity, they always think that they're not good enough or that they haven't done something the best they could. They're suspicious and jealous but despite that, noble and charming. They attract people, are emotional and are prone to deep emotions. Also through love, they're followed by struggle, whether through painful break ups or incompatible partners. Devotion towards partner and family is one of their traits. They're sentimental. A thing that is specific for number 7 is that it always represents past or future but sometimes the present as well. This is why people with this number are not interested in their present, they usually either live in the past or they are exclusively oriented towards the future.
Similarly this is a number of change, represents foreign lands, foreigners, a person born abroad, but also new ideas, differences. Seven is the number of intuition. It represents time, which brings new knowledge and wisdom with it. Thus, number 7 is the number of life, human destiny.
Negative meaning of number seven is revenge, huge affairs, manipulation, redrawing history, appearance of bad politicians and leaders. Represents mountains, skyscrapers, sky, trees, birds, rockets, airplanes.

Person whose final number is number 8 is extremely resilient, can bear numerous difficulties and pressures, but, besides people under this number have a flaw in that they have a hard time changing themselves i.e. coming to terms with life changes. Eight is the number of the subconscious, our fears, complexes, frustrations and makes the person nervous and destructive. Their flaw is that all negative things are suppressed in themselves i.e. they have a hard time opening up emotionally. That's why they are moody. But, similarly, 8 is the symbol of sex, life energy and libido. It loves to seduce and be seduced. They're possessive. Adventurous. They often have more than one marriage. They can be charming, ingratiate themselves to others or pretend that they are better than they actually are. They have a hard time with critiques, but they have an incomprehensible need to criticise others. Their positive sides are that they love company, fun, communication. When something really interests them they give themselves a 100% and achieve great success.

As the graphic representation of the number are two connected zeroes, with these persons you never know where you are. Eight is the number of villages, small places, highways, waterways, islands. Negative meaning of the number is reflected in assassinations, political coups, poisoning, secret societies, deception of the public, media.

Persons born under this number are capable and energetic. Most of them are responsible, but also poignant. They're economic and are good with money. Nine is the number of polyglots, people that have an affinity towards languages or generally communication with others. This is why 9 represents diplomacy, deals, contracts. They're sociable. They love to be noticed in company and always strive towards gaining some status. They're passionate, dynamic, and love to be on the move. They have a tendency to get overly attached for a person that they care for. But, they're not spared of some characteristics that lead to loss of energy and which deplete mental strength, such as stubbornness and naivety.

By its appearance number nine resembles a foetus and is therefore a symbol of a child, birth and new life. Designates cycles, teaches us patience and discipline. This is why number nine carries huge energy within itself. In the period when it dominates, starting a new business would be ideal. It denotes the older generation. It rules over agriculture and everything that brings food. When it is in a positive atmosphere of other numbers, number 9 brings prosperity to some country, new investments, investment in renewable energy sources. Bad characteristics of this number are indulging to vices, crime, war profiteering, prostitution, narcotics. In nine a system crash is easy to come by, crash of a company or the concept of living.
