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 4!
The 4 energy is the Planner, the "Rock", the Anchor! It loves stability, security, and structure. Represented by earth, the 4 is the most grounded and practical of all the numbers. Laying foundations and establishing routines is this energy's specialty, and this strong work ethic can ensure a good deal of material wealth and power. Self-discipline, focus, order, regiment, diligence, persistence, rationality, logic, and steadiness all stem from here.
The 4 is also the number of devotion. Devotion to home, to career, to organizations... to a structure of any kind. 4's develop and they build. Every thing and every person is integral for their sense of building the security they need. This is why they feel such loyalty to any friend, romantic partner, and family they have!
Duality exists in all things, and numbers are no exception. The "dark side" of the number 4, or what can be experienced when someone with 4 energy is out of alignment with it, includes being stubborn, inflexible, and resistant to change. Oftentimes, 4's can focus too much on perceived limitations rather than on opportunities staring them right in the face! They just want to feel protected from whatever is "out there", hence the preoccupation with building structure around anything and everything in their lives. This cup-half-empty attitude can quickly slip into cynicism, conservatism, and dogmatism. The world is either black or it is white, seeing any shades in-between is threatening to a 4's sense of security.

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!
