A basic premise in numerology is the ancient idea that each of us is a spiritual being, born to further evolve toward higher states of awareness.
-Ω-
During our long evolutionary path, we have accumulated a wealth of wisdom and made many positive choices that benefited our future.
We have also made mistakes, and sometimes abused the gifts we were given. To rectify these errors, we may take on an additional burden to learn a specific lesson we failed to learn previously. In numerology, this burden is called a Karmic Debt.
-Ω-
These double-digit numbers take on great significance when they are found among your core numbers: the most important numbers, the Life Path, Expression, Heart's Desire (or Soul Urge), Personality, and Birth Day. They are also significant in various cycles during the course of your lifetime. Each has unique characteristics and distinct difficulties.
-Ω-
Those with a 13 Karmic Debt will work very hard to accomplish any task.
Obstacles will stand in your way and must be overcome time and again. You may feel burdened and frustrated by the seeming futility of your efforts, and have a tendency to give up on the goal believing it was impossible to attain to begin with.
Some with the 13 Karmic Debt fall to laziness and negativity. But efforts are not futile, and success is well within reach - one simply must work hard and persevere to reach the goal. Many highly successful people in all walks of life including business, art, and sports, have a 13 Karmic Debt.
-Ω-
Very often, people with a 13 Karmic Debt don’t concentrate their energies in a specific direction or on a single task, but scatter their attention over many projects, none of which amount to much.
A temptation with the 13 is to take shortcuts. Easy success doesn't come often, causing regret and the desire to give up. The result is a poor self-image and the belief that one is incapable of amounting to much.
-Ω-
Stick to a schedule, keep appointments, and follow through. Keep your environment neat and under control, and never procrastinate. If you sustain a steady and consistent effort, you will realize much reward.
Your co-workers recognize your discipline and come to rely upon you. Ironically, you may feel that you have yet to find the work you truly love or were meant to do.
There may be a feeling that your talents are buried too deep for you to find them. This can lead to try many different vocations without a feeling that you have truly found your place.
-Ω-
You can be stubborn and rigid, refusing to allow new and creative ideas to penetrate your rigid adherence to established methods. This can, and often does, lead to frustration and repression for you. Things seem to take forever, especially when you resist bringing fresh approaches into your very tidy and comfortable ways of doing things.
-Ω-
The keys to your success are your willingness to maintain order and discipline in your life, and to make the most of every opportunity that comes your way.
-Ω-
The 14 Karmic Debt arises from previous actions where human freedom has been abused.
Those with a 14 Karmic Debt are forced to adapt to ever-changing circumstances and unexpected occurrences.
There is an acute danger of falling victim to drug abuse, alcohol, or overindulgence in sensual pleasures, such as food and sex. Moderation in all affairs is crucial to overcome this Karmic Debt.
The 14 Karmic Debt arises from previous actions where human freedom has been abused.
-Ω-
Flexibility and adaptability are at the very core of this struggle.
You must be ready to adapt to unexpected occurrences, while continuing to maintain focus on your goals and dreams.
An organized personal environment is crucial to maintain clarity and focus. Mental and emotional stability must be attained to avoid being thrown about by the changing fortunes in the external environment.
-Ω-
Life will resemble a roller coaster at times, but it will always travel in the right direction if your heart is set on what is true and good. Set yourself a high goal, maintain order wherever possible, avoid excessive indulgence, and maintain faith. Above all, do not give up on your dreams and goals.
Those with the 14 Karmic Debt can experience success, significant spiritual development, and life to the fullest by maintaining a high dream and focus. Major changes in life should be studied well before you make them. The 14 can be over-confident and headstrong, but you also tend to be lucky and a natural gambler.
-Ω-
Beneath an exterior of calm or coolness lies much emotional turbulence, which reflects itself in their life as rapid change and mercurial mood swings. The challenge is to ground in a particular profession or lifestyle that will provide limits and form for their considerable creativity.
A Karmic Debt 14 is exceedingly versatile and talented. There are few things they cannot do. They are also industrious once they have made a commitment to a specific task.
The key to their success is balance; they must avoid making major changes just to escape the routine, or as a means of avoiding responsibility for difficult situations. By grounding in a particular field and committing their considerable talents to work, they can become very successful.
-Ω-
The 16 Karmic Debt – in any area it appears in a chart - means destruction of the old and birth of the new. It is about the fall of the ego and all it has built for itself. It is a watershed, a cleansing. Things the ego has constructed to separate a person from the source of life, are destroyed.
Through the 16, reunion with higher consciousness may be achieved. This can be a painful process because it usually comes after much ego inflation, resulting in a struggle between the ego and higher ideals.
Life will present challenges to your grand plans which you may resent and struggle against. It is a losing battle… and you will likely feel humbled in the face of the collapse that follows. However, humility is the key to later success, as you learn to follow the intimations of a deeper reality.
In the destruction of the old, an inner rebirth takes place with an entirely new awareness. This rebirth affects every area of your life - a far better life for the fall.
-Ω-
Often, those with the 16 use their highly intuitive and refined intellect to look down on others. This can cause acute alienation and loneliness. In addition, it invites retribution, for the egotist is humbled more harshly than any other.
When the 16 is found in one of the core numbers, the process of destruction and rebirth is a continual cycle that serves to bring you into higher consciousness and a deeper connection to elevated ideals.
The 16 Karmic Debt can be a path of progress and great spiritual growth if it is viewed properly. One develops faith in life by broadening a limited outlook, listening (expanding intuition), questioning old ways, and staying open to a new path.
-Ω-
This will result in alienation and even bitterness. You can also easily lift off the ground, becoming impractical and dreamy. If you indulge too much in flight of fancy, you may drift from reality and give up the possibility of earning an adequate living.
The 16 excellent intuition, not unlike the Master number 11, and may even possess psychic ability. Trust your intuition and use it as a guide in life. But always, be practical in your application of your insights.
With a Karmic Debt 16, you can easily lose interest in your projects and must work hard to finish what you start. You must have faith and let opportunities come your way.
You are sensitive and feel deeply, but you don't share your feelings easily, nor do you communicate them well. The realm of the heart troubles you for its shifting, nebulous qualities. You must work hard to understand this area of life.

From Numerology Questions - a Dear Hans column:
Bradley asks about the 16/7 Essence cycle, and if they are always as difficult to handle as the last few have been.
Hi Hans,
Your Numerology software is incredible! Thanks for that.
I have a question about the 16/7 essence cycle. I believe that my Essence for 2018, 2019 and 2020 have this karmic debt number.
It has been a very tricky couple of years, with a lot of things not going to plan and a lot of pain and struggle. Loss of work, finances, long-held-worldviews and relationships. I think that my 4 personal year is helping to retrieve material equilibrium, but it feels a little hollow at the moment!
I would appreciate your thoughts/further interpretation on this.
Thanks,
Bradley
Hi Bradley,
The 16/7 Essence is nothing less than one of the most promising cycles to experience, but it is not for the faint of heart. It draws you inside, consciously or subconsciously, and as a result, your attention to the outside world (job, finances, even romance) is diminished.
The 16/7 Essence is always a tough cycle and the things you mention are not uncommon, but it also produces a period of considerable personal growth and personal insight. It creates a better you and pays off where it counts. In some ways, it’s like that monk walking his path by taking two steps backward and three forward. There is loss, but then there is gain.
My advice to you is to take advantage of this 16/7 Essence cycle by putting your outside world (job, finances, etc.) on the backburner as much as you can afford to without getting in trouble. Take meditation classes, go on a walk-about, seek out those friends who are always talking spiritual stuff, etc. In short, let the mystery of life be your focus for a while. I promise, your future will benefit greatly, including finances, your job, and anything else you hope to achieve.

Monika wants to know how she can lessen the impact of a 16 Karmic Debt
It is one of her core numbers and she worries it might affect her for live.
Dear Hans,
My name is Monika. I go by Nethra but my official name on every record is Monika. People know me by this identity only. I was born May ... in New Delhi, India.
First I would like to know, is my complete name auspicious for me, or I should use Nethra only?
Secondly, I would also like to know which career field would be best for me.
As I have a Birth Day number 8, Expression number 3 and Life Path number: 16/7, which is a Karmic Debt number, what are the precautions (especially health-related) to keep in mind for my life?
Above all, I would like some insight into my spiritual progress and peace of mind.
Yours sincerely,
Monika
Hi Nethra,
Considering that you have a 16/7 Life Path and the vowels in the first name Monika add to a 16/7 as well, you would do better using either the full name Monika .... or the nickname Nethra, while avoiding the use of the first name Monika by itself.
The 16/7 is a Karmic Debt number and can be a bit of a burden at times, although it also has some powerful and very beneficial qualities. The danger of the 16 is in its tendency to make bad decisions and choices almost as if it wants to self-destruct which, to some extent, is its real purpose. What it tries to do is push you forward on a path of spiritual growth and it does this in a somewhat heavy-handed manner.
Whenever a person with a 16/7 gets too focused on material success, career, whatever, to the exclusion of his or her spiritual side, the 16 forces a bad decision causing some kind of breakdown in the hope that you will start paying attention to your spiritual needs again. It basically causes a cycle of self-destruction and rebirth because, fortunately or unfortunately, that is the fastest path toward spiritual wisdom or enlightenment or whatever you wish to call it.
For that reason, those with a 16/7 Life Path, like you and me, only attain a measure of material/worldly success if they do not deny their spiritual side in the process - meaning that your spiritual thirst should be potent and a big part of your conscious mind every day. It is therefore interesting that you included a question regarding your spiritual progress and peace of mind in your letter. This tells me that indeed, your spiritual path is a big part of your daily life and as long as that is the case, the 16 will be nothing but beneficial.
As far as your career choices, you have mostly creative numbers, a strong dose of communicative skills, and a good sense of business. Journalism, book editor, or any other career in communication would suit you well. In fact, you have a poet's numbers, so perhaps you should, if you haven't yet, try your hand at poetry or creative writing.

A person with the 19 Karmic Debt will learn independence and the proper use of power. You will be placed in situations where you are forced to stand up for yourself (and often be left standing alone).
One of the central lessons for people with the 19 Karmic Debt revolves around stubbornly resisting help from others. Much of your independence is self-imposed - you simply want to do it your own way.
The 19 Karmic Debt can become a self-imposed prison if you don’t recognize the need for interdependence and the mutual need for love.
Although you seek to stand on your own feet, you are inextricably connected to others and in need of the support and understanding that all people need - this is the most important lesson for the 19 Karmic Debt.
Those with the 19 Karmic Debt learn the hard way that "no one is an island," and that we are, indeed, "all bits of the main!"
-Ω-
Strong and individualistic, self-reliant, and confident; this Karmic Debt number can bring loneliness and alienation due to a lack of support from others.
You tend to struggle to achieve the degree of self- sufficiency you desire and may endure considerable frustration in your struggle for independence. The reason: your desire for independence is so strong is that it eclipses many other balancing perspectives.
-Ω-
Exchange ideas with others, lest you become insulated and isolated by your own perspective. This can become a kind of prison for you.
You can be highly stubborn, which emanates from fear. Try to see that all of life is but an ecosystem, a life cycle delicately balanced in such a way that everyone is supporting.
-Ω-
Difficulties are faced and overcome through personal struggle. You are highly ambitious and have a strong drive for success and power.
Although self-confident, you like to be encouraged. You are a hard worker and an important fixture in any enterprise in which you are involved. People are attracted to your deep commitment to your work, and the steadiness with which you do it. You are a pioneer at heart; you are willing to take risks to get what you desire. As such, you are willing to change your environment often, and even enjoy doing so.
-Ω-
You are demonstrative in your affections and willing to sacrifice for others. You are highly idealistic, but if your ideals fail, you can become bitter and negative. You are very sensitive, with many emotional ups and downs. You tend to find yourself in dramatic situations, yet you like to control your emotions in public and come off as if everything is under control.
-Ω-
With your determination and inventive and creative mind you have potential for achievement and financial reward!
-Ω-
Aside from Karmic Debt numbers, numerology also recognizes Karmic Lessons, which are derived from your full name at birth.
You should avoid Karmic Debts in your address or phone number
