Energy of the Number 3

Updated: Mar 7, 2019


All numbers produce a predictable outcome- that's the beauty of mathematics and of numerology! When we can understand the numbers that underlie our individual birth codes (made up of our birthdays and full birth names, or natal numbers), a whole new dimension of understanding and consciousness about our lives- who we are,what gives us fulfillment, our challenges, our strengths, why we are here-- unfurls before us.

"Numbers rule the universe; everything is arranged according to number and mathematical shape." -Pythagoras

So let's get into the number 3!


The 3 energy is the Creator, the Communicator, the Joie de vivre! It loves to utilize the imagination, to integrate ideas (and people), to socialize, and to find ways to enjoy life, itself. Represented by air, the 3 is the integration of the masculine 1 and feminine 2 energies, bestowed with both yang and yin. 3's are childlike in their approach to the world- everything is easily seen in its beauty, which delights them and lifts their spirits. This is not to say they are childish, however- far from it. It is just that 3's innately can find joy or humor in anything. Self-expression, words, self-development, optimism, pleasure, kindness, warmth, health and sociability all stem from here.


The 3 is also the number of a trinity--like how three legs on a stool make it the most balanced. Of course, we can think Father + Mother + Child or Body + Mind + Spirit. This is all about balance, which is why 3's are able to handle crises so well. Yes, 3's can face the tough aspects of life- in fact, in many ways they may face the toughest aspects of life of all the single numbers (1-9). However, they are capable of diluting the worst situations, making them palatable and manageable to be able to work through. Here is another way self-expression and creativity become so important in the 3's experience of life.


Duality exists in all things, and numbers are no exception. The "dark side" of the number 3, or what can be experienced when someone with 3 energy is out of alignment with it, includes being prone to self-doubt, depression, ill health, and image issues. 3's can also have so many ideas (or even social engagements) at once that they scatter their energy too much and lack the necessary focus and discipline to follow through. At the same time, this energy can really manifest as a lack of self-confidence and the need to make everything "perfect" in order to garner extrinsic validation. Yep, procrastination can be a big one here (hello writers and artists, how is your next work coming along?). All this unspent energy can build up and actually turn inward to manifest as disease, unhappiness, and misfortune, so it is so important to continue to put your voice "out there" into the world.


Keywords: Joyful, Artistic, Kind, Inspiring Catalyst, Optimistic, Communication, Self-Development, Self-Expression, Manifestation, Health, Loving, Expressive, Words, Imaginative, Perfection, Fun, Sociable, Image, Sense of Humor, No Worries, "Child-like", Bored Easily, Actor, Artist, Writer, Author, Performer, Comedian, Social Butterfly, Musician, Tour Guide, Media, Public Speaking, Interior Decorator


Remember, our birth codes are made up of many numbers! Where and how many times any single number shows up in your chart can affect its exact manifestation, along with which other numbers are present. It's like a symphony-- the order of the notes, played by which instruments, can create a nearly infinite number of songs!
