RE:number 16

The number 16 is a karmic number, and people under its influence need to keep their feet on the path of higher learning. They must cultivate their personal willpower, independence and initiative action to enable them to overcome obstacles that come into their life experiences.

Number 16 denotes that many will experience trials and defeats throughout their lives. Unforeseen events may seem to follow people with this number.

16 brings in the single number of 7, with its energies of obligation and responsibility to listen to its inner-voice which will always warn them of danger through their dreams and strong intuition. When this number is transmuted to the higher vibration it expresses itself as love of humanity and the desire to uplift others in the cause of harmony.

The 16 Karmic Debt represents destruction of the old and birth of the new. The 16 is about the fall of the ego and all that it has built for itself; it is a cleansing. All that has been constructed and all that serves to separate the person from the source of life is destroyed. Through the 16, reunion with the great spirit is accomplished.

This can be a painful process, because it usually comes after much ego inflation. Life presents challenges to your grand plans and you tend to make choices that seem specifically designed to break down what you have previously built -- a self-destructive career choice or an act of stupidity that ruins an otherwise wonderful relationship, for example.

The 16 Karmic Debt is a lost battle and you will likely feel humbled in the face of the collapse that follows. But this humility is the key to later success, because you will learn to follow the intimations of a higher reality, approaching life with an entirely new awareness. It is a life much the better for the fall.

Those with the 16 Karmic Debt must be careful of egoism. Very often, those with the 16 use their highly intuitive and refined intellect to look down upon others, and view the rest of the world as inferior, leading to acute alienation and loneliness.

When the 16 is in one of the Core numbers, this process of destruction and rebirth is a continuous cycle that actually serves to bring you into higher consciousness. The 16 Karmic Debt can be a path of progress and great spiritual growth if it is looked at properly.

A number 16 person is often outspoken and their strong beliefs give them the energy and stamina to keep going for many hours in the day, yet still find quality time for their family. These people have the capacity to love deeply and passionately, yet relationships are not easily established. 16s are very conscious of their responsibility within the home and make very loving partners and parents - however, their need to take command in ALL situations often makes it difficult for themselves.

The 16 energy person may have many challenges to overcome during their life and they need their solitude and can have trouble 'fitting in'. Often, from their early 20's, 16 people reach their ‘special purpose’.

16s have natural healing abilities and are experts on human nature and because of this they make great writers, actors and comedians. Often, those born on the 16th are interested in religion, research and animals.

A 16 energy individual can crucify themselves on the path of love that can come into Spiritual consciousness if they turn their love towards the path of ‘Light’. The challenge of the 16 must be carefully met so that its effects may be diluted to a milder vibration.

All that said, I echo the messages from others. Don't give up hope. Remember, by being a 16 (1+6=7), you are also blessed with a sharp mind with enough resources to withstand life's assaults. Beware of traps set by others that disturb your inner peace and mental wellbeing. Always remember, be prepared, always look twice before you commit to something. Best of luck and God Bless!
