Sixteen
The number Sixteen is another very powerful number, both for good and for ill. It governs the physical forces and passions, blind anger, rash impulse, temper, and yet, from the constructive standpoint, shows the capacity to be aggressive when there is the necessity to put up a fight against wrong-doing and the evil actions and brutality of others. It can bring a spirit of rivalry and, when this is permitted unduly, it can cause destruction; but when used to promote healthy competition for constructive ends, it will give tremendous force and energy. it is ruled by the planet Mars, the planet of war and pestilence but also the planet of exploration and discovery.

The Number 16 is the number of accident or catastrophe, in many instances brought on by personal recklessness or a refusal to look facts in the face. Yet it can bestow courage and enable progress to be made once there is a proper controlling of inner rebellion and resentment.
Character:
The number Sixteen (planetary influence, Mars) mainly signifies so far as your character is concerned, that you have courage. This will be of both a physical and a mental nature and no matter what the odds may be you will always face them and do your best to overcome your adversary, whether it be circumstances or a person. Nevertheless, it will not be easy to restrain impulse or to tone down quickness of temper and as a result of giving way to these you will experience many upsets and changes, and your emotional and home life will not always be happy. You are suited for adventure, for exploration, for taking part in anything that is active and that keeps you on the move. When circumstances temporarily thrust you into a kind of quiet backwater you will rebel, sometimes violently and, figuratively speaking, will either do the disappearing trick yourself or be thrown out by others who resent their peace and quietness being disturbed.

Character:
The number Seventeen (Zodiacal influence, the sign Gemini) indicates that you are active both physically and mentally. You will have a strong desire for variety and change but it will be unwise to allow this desire to get out of hand. An effort should always be made to maintain continuity of thought and action, and you should not alter objectives unless there is some very real and weighty reason for so doing. Otherwise you will find that you can interfere with the progress of affairs, can put forth a lot of effort and get very little in return. You should regulate the number of subjects you take up, for if you have too many things on had at one time certain of them must perforce be neglected, particularly when circumstances compel attention upon those of greater importance. Hence valuable time, thought and effort will be sacrificed which has been devoted to those interests being given up.
Eighteen
The number Eighteen is what may be termed a "difficult" number. It shows an attack by the materialistic side of nature on the spiritual attributes. There is a danger of giving way to intrigue and deception on the one hand and of encountering false friends and secret foes on the other hand. It gives a warning of both treachery and danger, causes bitter quarrels which can involve friends and family and implies periods of danger through water, fires and even explosions. Astrologically it is influenced by the sign Cancer which, although giving a tenacity of purpose, can also bring a fear of the unknown.

Character:
The number Eighteen (Zodiacal influence, the sign Cancer) signifies that there is a strong degree of emotion in your nature. You have a very vivid imagination and will be able to recall clearly and easily many of the events and conditions which have occurred in the past but should not allow yourself to dwell too much upon the past. You should utilize the knowledge gained from past experiences, to deal with and to regulate present affairs, and to plan out future activities. Matters to do with the home and family side of life will always be of great importance and will influence many of your decisions and actions, whilst there will be a great appreciation of domestic comfort and harmony. You can also do many things yourself towards creating domestic comfort and making others feel at home when they are in your surroundings. The sign gives you a very good memory, much tenacity of thought and purpose and enables you to use your imagination so as to create publicity either for yourself or for others.
