Numerologists name five birth dates linked to a strong sixth sense
Followers of numerology believe people born on the 2nd, 7th, 11th, 16th or 29th day of a month have an especially developed intuition, or sixth sense. The claims were reported by India's The Times of India.
Five days of the month – the 2nd, 7th, 11th, 16th and 29th – are associated with particularly strong intuition in numerology, a belief system that links numbers to human character. The claims were reported by the Indian outlet The Times of India. The source offers no scientific backing; these are the views of numerologists.
The sixth sense is a term for the ability to perceive information beyond the five traditional senses: sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch.
Indian and Western approaches
In Indian numerology, the numbers 2 and 7 are most closely tied to inner knowledge. Two stands for the Moon, which governs the mind and mood; people strongly influenced by the Moon tend to absorb other people's feelings. Seven stands for Ketu, the south lunar node, which is associated with detachment and the wisdom of past lives. Its intuition arises through observation rather than feeling. Western numerology adds the number 11, known as a Master Number.
What is claimed for each date
Those born on the 2nd are said to sense within minutes of meeting a stranger whether that person can be trusted, and are often right.
People born on the 11th often have vivid dreams that later seem to come true, and feel places strongly. Many want to become healers, psychologists or spiritual mentors. They frequently experience nervous tension, so regular sleep is especially important for them.
Those born on the 29th often sense a brewing conflict before it begins, but may confuse anxiety with intuition.
The intuition of people born on the 7th is described as calm and almost detached: they can allegedly spot an incorrect clause in a contract without legal training. They listen to their inner voice more than to others' advice, and their judgment is sharpened by time alone, meditation and long walks.
The numerologist Cheiro called the number 16 the "Broken Citadel" and linked it to sudden events. Numerologists consider the intuition of those born on the 16th protective: before sharp changes they receive warnings in dreams or as a strong gut feeling.
