The Numbers of Karma - 13, 14, 16, and 19

Here, we will look at the numbers of universal karma, i.e. 13, 14, 16, and 19. These numbers deal with universal principles and the misuse of those principles; they also relate to myths, archetypes from the collective unconscious, to race memories and experiences shared by all of us. Their origins date back to the dawn of civilization, mythology, and the Bible.

Historically, 13 also relates to the Middle Ages, 14 to the Age of Discovery and the Renaissance; 16 to the Age of Reason and Enlightenment, and 19 to the 19^th and 20^th centuries. Perhaps, some of us with a karmic number in our name or birth dates have had past life times related to these periods of time.

Whether or not we have these karmic numbers in our names or birth dates, all of us get to experience these numbers at ages 13, 14, 16, and 19. If you’ve ever wondered why adolescence is universally considered to be a painful period, it’s because during that time we all have to deal with these 4 karmic numbers. People with 13 in their names or birth dates are apt to have difficulty in expressing their feelings, often keeping them deeply hidden — and this is true of most 13 year olds. Sexuality and freedom are concerns of the 14 year old and for those with 14 in their numberscopes; many people with 16 in their birth names or birth date experience difficulties with love – and that is also true for many adolescents who at age 16 experience their first romantic crushes and their first broken hearts; and coming to terms with one’s own individuality, power, and upcoming place in the world is often the concern of the 19 year old. – and for people with 19 prominent in their names or birth dates.

It was St Augustine (born Nov 13 354 A.D.) who said that Time (or karma) as we know it began with the original sin and subsequent Fall of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden into the cycle of death and rebirth, in other words, the cycle of the four seasons, Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall. The reason why there are four karmic numbers is that there are 4 seasons; and the four seasons can be correlated with the numbers 13, 14, 16 and 19.

In the words of the poet John Keats (expression 13/4)

“There are four seasons in the mind of man” who has “his winter too of pale misfortune/ Or else he would forego his mortal nature.

”Keats, by Severn in 1816.

13 is associated with the Death Card in the Tarot deck and wasting time when we should be working; 14 means misuse of freedom and sex in a former lifetime with a likelihood of accidents and/or sexual indiscretions; 16 means crucifixion of the self on the cross of love due to a past life time of illicit love; and 19, a misuse of power in a former lifetime. If you have one of these numbers in your name or birth date, you’ll be put into similar situations that you experienced in former lifetimes with the chance to do it right this time around.

Karma, though, deals with principles and not events. If something bad happens to you, it’s not because of your karma; rather, it’s because you misused the principle(s) associated with that karmic number. Karma is not Mosaic Law; it is not tit for tat, or “an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth”; it is not cosmic revenge. People with karmic numbers have the karma of doing something with their lives to correct the misuse of the principles associated with that number.

Here’s an example of a person who turned a negative (i.e. karma) into a positive. Abraham Lincoln was born with a 14 life path and the karma of misuse of freedom in a former lifetime. In his lifetime, though, he freed the slaves. In other words, karma for him became a mandate to correct a misuse of freedom. The writer Erich Segal was born on June 16^th, a day associated with misuse of the universal principle of love. He wrote the best seller Love Story. Karen Silkwood, who was born on February 19, the number of misuse of power in a former lifetime, was the whistleblower who exposed her company’s dangerous misuse of plutonium.
