Do any of you have the numbers 2, 5, and 8 in your birth-date? Even if you have just two of these numbers, or just one of these numbers appearing 2 to 3 times, then you possess some special qualities. In my observation of various Numerological birth-charts I have found that Empaths carry these numbers. Empaths are those people who have the ability to sense emotions of others. Such persons can literally walk in others’ shoes and feel their emotions. They have a yearning to understand and analyze people’s behavior and are good at it. The down side is, they may find it hard to draw clear-cut boundaries for themselves so, they need to guard against getting too involved in the lives of others and not sabotage their own lives.
They have a very sensitive nature, and will generally make decisions based on their feelings rather than logic, unless they have too many of the practical numbers in their chart. Generally, in every family, there is at least one person with these numbers who will willingly take care of the feelings and emotions of the other family members. People feel very comfortable pouring their heart to them and rest assured that they will be understood without being judged.
Taking this observation further, a lot of poets and writers who write about the emotional journeys of their characters are also bound to have these numbers. Needless to say, it is because of their empathetic qualities they are able to understand the psyche of people around them, which reflects in their writings too. Of course, there are other aspects in Numerology which could determine whether you can be a writer or not, but if you have the desire to write and have these numbers too, you may have the potential.
I hope I have been able to arouse your curiosity for these numbers. Do explore the veracity of my observation with people around you and it may help you in understanding them and yourself better.
