From Struggling with Structure to Building My Foundation

The Power of Number 4 in Numerology

Read the Article

For a long time, I struggled with structure, discipline, and routines. It felt like they were working against me, limiting my freedom and creativity. Until I discovered the hidden power behind the number 4 in Numerology — the energy of The Builder.

What surprised me even more was realizing that my name, Civan, carries the Master Number 22, which ultimately reduces to a 4. From that moment on, everything changed.

In this article, I will share my personal story of how the archetype of the number 4 shaped my path, and how it can support you too – especially during times when life calls you to lay foundations.

The Meaning of Number 4 in Numerology

The number 4 in Numerology represents:

  • Hard work

  • Structure

  • Discipline

  • Stability

  • Consistency

  • Foundation building

It is often associated with archetypes like The Builder, The Architect, or The Hard Worker. The 4 is the number that asks us to slow down, create systems, and take responsibility — not for the sake of restriction, but to build something real and lasting.

In April, the 4-energy is collectively active, inviting us all to focus on building foundations.

My Struggle with the Number 4

I naturally resonate with the energy of the number 5, which is my Destiny Number.

The 5 is The Explorer:

  • Freedom

  • Adventure

  • Variety

  • Change

    Structure?
    Discipline?
    Repetition?
    At first, these felt like enemies. I rejected anything that felt rigid or confining. I wanted to move, flow, and stay flexible. This worked — until it didn’t.

    I began noticing cycles in my life where things collapsed or felt chaotic – not because I wasn’t capable, but because I lacked the structure to hold them.

    The Discovery of the 22 in My Name

    A few months ago, I did a deeper Numerology reading for myself.
    And there it was:
    My name, Civan, carries the Master Number 22 — the master builder.
    22 reduces to 4.

    It hit me deeply. It wasn’t just a random energy I had to “deal with.” It was part of me.
    It was my invitation. My life literally asked me to integrate the builder energy.

    Suddenly, it all made sense:

    • The resistance

    • The repeated lessons

    • The hidden call to build

    Not just externally — but internally.

    How I Live the Number 4 Today

    I started embodying the 4:

    • In the gym: consistency over excitement

    • In business: systems and foundations first, flow second

    • In relationships: showing up steadily instead of drifting away when things get challenging

    It’s not about limiting myself — it’s about making sure that my energy, creativity, and ideas actually hold.

    And you know what?
    It works.

    The magic happens when you don’t see structure as the opposite of freedom, but as its foundation.

    4 + 5 = 9
    Completion. Integration.

    Only by embracing the discipline of the 4 could I fully live out the explorer and creative in me (the 5). Whether it’s in my business, my body, or my relationships — nothing flourishes without roots.

    The Invitation

    If you’re reading this in April, you are currently in a collective 4-energy.
    This is the perfect time to:

    • Build

    • Strengthen

    • Create structures

    • Lay solid foundations

    No matter if you are working on your business, your relationship, or your own healing — the 4 supports you.
    It may not always feel exciting, but it is powerful beyond words.

    I share this story because I know how tempting it is to skip the hard work and go straight for freedom.
    But the truth is:
    Freedom without foundation collapses.

    If you’re like me, someone who dreams big, craves movement, and loves to explore — let the 4 show you how to make it sustainable. Let it teach you how to build.

    And if you feel called to, explore what numbers are active in your life – you may find, like I did, that the lesson was already written in your name. Curious to learn more?

    The Power of Deeper Self-Understanding

    The Power of Deeper Self-Understanding

    What if you were never broken?

    Read the Article

    Know Yourself. Accept Yourself. Become Yourself.

    Let’s be honest –  most of us spend our lives trying to “fix” something about ourselves.

    We chase clarity, confidence, purpose… hoping the next job, relationship or life hack will finally make us feel complete.

    But what if the real journey is not about becoming someone else – but about remembering who you’ve always been?

    The Bigger Picture

    In Numerology, every year carries a distinct energy. And just like nature has seasons, we as individuals – and as a collective – move through cycles. The 9-year cycle is like an emotional, energetic spiral staircase. And Year 9 is the top floor: the point where we look back, reflect, and decide what we’re not taking with us into the next chapter.

     

    You’re Not Missing. You’re Misunderstood.

    The truth is: You are already whole.

    You don’t need to be fixed. You need to be understood – especially by yourself.

    The deeper you understand yourself, the more you begin to:

    • Accept your unique wiring

    • Stop comparing your path to others

    • Release the need for external validation

    Because when you realize that you’re not “wrong” – you’re just different – something magical happens.
    You start living from the inside out, instead of the outside in.

    Personally I spent nearly 30 Years seeking external Validation. By Understanding that I am Valid – I am Whole, by changing this Perception of myself – the Focus of my Life changed from looking outward for something to fix me to looking inward and being in Peace with my whole self.

    Your Story Shapes 80% of Your Life

    Your beliefs, upbringing and Life Experiences shape the majority of how you see the world. They build your personality, your coping mechanisms, your patterns.

    But sometimes… there’s a piece missing.

    What About the Missing 20%?

    That “why do I keep repeating this?”
    That “why do I feel like I’m not meant to live like this?”

    This is where tools like Numerology, Human Design and Astrology come in – not to define you,

    but to reveal you.

    Tools That Shine a Light on Your Blueprint

    These systems are not trends. They’re Ancient Mirrors, designed to show you what’s always been there:

    🔢 Numerology reveals the Energetic Vibration of your Life Path, Destiny and Personal Year. It helps you to understand your inner rhythm, your soul’s mission and what chapter of life you’re currently in.

    🌙 Astrology helps you understand your Internal Archetypes and Timing Cycles. It brings awareness to your emotional needs, drives and how you process life.

    🔷 Human Design maps out your energy mechanics: how you’re meant to make decisions, where you’re sensitive to outside conditioning and how to interact with the world in alignment with your type.

    Each of these is like a key.

    And when you use them together, you stop asking,
    “What’s wrong with me?”
    And start saying,
    “Oh. That makes sense now.”

    Here comes the but:

    Just like a real mirror, you don’t stare into it all day. You glance at it, you realign and then you go live your life.

    Because 80% of your growth still comes from your lived experience – from trying, failing, loving, learning, breaking, healing.

    These tools simply help you see clearly when you’re ready to look.
    They’re reminders of your essence when the world has made you forget.

    They don’t do the work for you – you do.

    Tony Robbins Said It Best…

    “If you can see the pattern, and then understand the pattern – you can create your own pattern.”

    Let that sink in.

    still sinking in..

    still..

    Basically when you recognize your internal patterns – your reactions, your fears, your gifts – you start to move through life with awareness.

    You stop reacting. You start responding.
    And when you master your own pattern, you can intentionally create new ones.

    That’s where the real transformation begins.

    What It Changes in Real Life

    Internally:

    You gain clarity on how you really function.

    You stop shaming yourself for not being like others and you stop comparing yourself.

    You begin to feel safer in your own skin – and that changes everything

    In Business:

    You align your offers, content and timing with your natural energy.

    You start recognizing patterns in your audience – what they need, when they’re ready, and how to speak to them in ways that land.

    You become Magnetic – not because you’re trying hard, but because you’re in sync with your design.

    Now here’s the thing:

    Most people spend their whole lives chasing answers outside of themselves.

    But those who begin the journey inward realize:

    Clarity doesn’t come from more information.
    It comes from deeper self-connection.

    So here’s my invitation:

    Start observing your patterns.
    Learn to read your own energy.
    Get curious about your blueprint.

    Because when you deeply understand who you are, you don’t just live more aligned – you Lead, Love and Create from a place of Authenticity and Inner Peace.

    A Simple First Step

    Ask yourself today:

    What pattern keeps repeating in my life – and what is Life trying to teach me through these Patterns?

    And when you’re ready to dive deeper, I’m here to walk the path with you.

    Because the better you know yourself,
    the freer you become to create a life that is truly yours.

    2025 – The Magic of the In-Between

    2025 – The End Before the Beginning

    A Collective Year 9: Why Endings Are Not to Be Feared

    Read the Article

    A Year of Completion and Release

    If you’ve been feeling like the world is on fire, you’re not alone. From wars and economic instability to natural catastrophes and rising tension across every system we once trusted – 2025 feels intense. Heavy. Uncertain.

    And yet, if we zoom out, there’s a deeper rhythm at play. Because in Numerology, 2025 is a Universal Year 9.

    The final year in a 9-year cycle.

    A year of completion, integration, and release.

    This isn’t a coincidence. It’s a pattern.

    The Bigger Picture

    In Numerology, every year carries a distinct energy. And just like nature has seasons, we as individuals – and as a collective – move through cycles. The 9-year cycle is like an emotional, energetic spiral staircase. And Year 9 is the top floor: the point where we look back, reflect, and decide what we’re not taking with us into the next chapter.

     

    Let’s take a moment to look back

    • 2016 was also a Universal Year 9.
      That year, the world saw Brexit, the U.S. presidential elections that polarized a nation, the peak of the Syrian refugee crisis and a global cry for change. Many systems were shaken.

    • 2007, another Year 9, marked the beginning of the global financial crisis. Banks collapsed. Security vanished. Our relationship with money, debt and trust in institutions was never the same again.

    Both years carried tension, endings  and revelations.

    But they also set the stage for massive transformation. The tech boom, political awakenings, shifts in social movements – all of these were seeded in the ashes of those chaotic years.

    Chaos Isn’t the Enemy – It’s the Catalyst

    Here’s the truth: Endings can feel like destruction. But often, they’re just truths we can no longer ignore.

    We live in a world addicted to the new. But beginnings aren’t always neat. They’re often born out of letting go, burning down and being honest about what no longer works.

    Just like a forest needs a wildfire to regenerate, sometimes a system must collapse so that something more aligned can take its place.

    What if 2025 isn’t just a disaster, but a cleansing?

    What if the chaos is clearing space – for the first time in years – for something real to rise?

    You Can’t Take It With You

    In Year 9, we’re being asked a sacred question:

    “What are you still carrying that is already complete?”

    It might be a relationship you’ve outgrown. A belief system rooted in fear. An identity that kept you safe but no longer feels true.

    2025 invites you to stop holding on out of habit or fear.

    Because the truth is: You’re not meant to drag everything with you into the new cycle.
    Completion is not a failure. It’s a spiritual achievement.

    The Magic of the In-Between

    Year 9 is like standing in a doorway. You’re not fully in the past, and not quite in the future. It’s an energetic limbo – but one with immense power.

    This is the year to:

    • Forgive old stories.

    • Tie up loose ends.

    • Let go of “shoulds”.

    • Reflect on how far you’ve come.

    And most importantly:

    Trust that not all endings are bad.

    Because as one door closes, space is made for another to open. And if you’re brave enough to trust the unknown, the next cycle  –  starting in 2026, a Year 1 – will greet you with fresh soil to plant new seeds.

    You Are Not Alone in This

    Yes, the world feels shaky right now. But you are not powerless.

    You are part of a collective rebirth.

    And just like every powerful ending in your personal life – breakups, career shifts, moments of grief or awakening – the breakdown was never the end of you. It was the beginning of a truer version of you.

    This is your chance to align with that wisdom on a global level.

    One Final Reflection

    Ask yourself today:

    – What am I finally ready to let go of?
    – What is completing in my life, even if I’ve been resisting it?
    – What version of me is ready to emerge?

    2025 is not here to break you.
    It’s here to set you free.

    So when it feels like everything is falling apart, remember: sometimes, that’s exactly what needs to happen for life – and a better world –  to begin.

    Basics of Numerology – Your Beginner’s Guide

    Basics of Numerology - A Beginner’s Guide

    Discover how numbers can reveal insights into your unique Life Path and Destiny

    Read the Article

    Introduction to Numerology

    I created this beginner’s guide that will introduce you to the Fundamental Concepts of Numerology, How to calculate Key Numbers and how they can be applied in everyday life.

    Numbers have fascinated humans for centuries, not just for their mathematical properties but for their deeper, mystical significance.

    Numerology is the Ancient Study of Numbers and their influence on our lives, personalities and destinies.

    In the beginning state I focus on three Key Numbers:

    The Life Path Number, the Destiny Number and the Personal Year.

    The Basics of Numerology

    Numerology is based on the belief that numbers have unique vibrations and meanings. Every number carries energy that can reveal insights into a person’s character, life path, and purpose.

     

    Scroll down to get into some key components.

     

    Understanding Your Inner Self

    Discovering Your Life's Path

    Numerology offers a fascinating lens through which we can gain deeper insights into our personalities and life journeys. By analyzing the numbers associated with our birth dates and names, numerology reveals hidden aspects of our character, helping us understand our strengths, weaknesses, and potential. This ancient practice can illuminate our life paths, providing guidance on our purpose and the unique contributions we can make to the world.

    The Life Path Number is the most significant number in numerology. It represents your core personality, strengths, weaknesses, and overall life direction. It is calculated by adding together the digits of your birth date until you get a single-digit number (unless it is a Master Number: 11, 22, or 33).

     

    Example:

    Birth Date: 15th July 1990 (09/07/1990)
    1 + 5 + 0 + 7 + 1 + 9 + 9 + 0 = 32
    3 + 2 = 5

    Life Path Number = 5

    The Number that reveals your Natural Abilities

    What's your Destiny Number?

    Also known as the Expression Number, this number is derived from the full name at birth. Each letter corresponds to a number, and the sum of these numbers reveals innate talents and potential.

    Numerology Letter Chart:

    A = 1 B = 2 C = 3 D = 4 E = 5 F = 6 G = 7 H = 8 I = 9
    J = 1 K = 2 L = 3 M = 4 N = 5 O = 6 P = 7 Q = 8 R = 9
    S = 1 T = 2 U = 3 V = 4 W = 5 X = 6 Y = 7 Z = 8

    To calculate your Destiny Number:

    1. Write down your full birth name.
    2. Assign each letter its corresponding number from the chart.
    3. Add all numbers together and reduce them to a single digit (or Master Number).

    Example:

    Name: JOHN DOE
    J (1) + O (6) + H (8) + N (5) = 20 → 2 + 0 = 2
    D (4) + O (6) + E (5) = 15 → 1 + 5 = 6
    Final sum: 2 + 6 = 8

    Destiny Number = 8

    insight into the energies influencing you during a specific year

    Personal Year Number

    The Personal Year Number provides insight into the energies influencing you during a specific year. It is calculated by adding the digits of your birth month and day to the current year and reducing them to a single digit.

    Example:

    Birth Date: 15th July Current Year: 2025
    1 + 5 + 0 + 7 + 2 + 0 + 2 + 5 = 22 (Master Number, or 2 + 2 = 4)

    Personal Year Number = 4

    We don’t just live in moments – we live in patterns, and those patterns unfold in repeating 9-year cycles. Each year in the cycle holds its own energetic invitation, challenge, and lesson.

    The Wisdom of the 9-Year Cycle

    By tracing back my own experiences—year by year—I started to see the rhythm of life more clearly. The themes I experienced 9 years ago weren’t identical in form, but they were similar in essence.
    A challenge might return with a different face. A lesson I didn’t fully learn back then would knock again, asking to be integrated.
    Not as punishment—but as life’s way of saying:

    “You’re ready now. Let’s go deeper.”

    When you become aware of your current Personal Year, you begin to recognize:

    • Why certain things feel easier or more difficult right now

    • What kinds of opportunities are available to you

    • How to flow with life, instead of forcing against it

    This number is not a fixed prediction – it’s a compass. It helps you understand the season you’re in, so you can honor your timing, prepare with intention and act with alignment.

    9-Year Cycle of Growth

    New Beginnings, Divine Creation, Leadership

    → The Leader at the Start of the Journey

    This number carries the vibration of initiation. It’s the spark, the bold first step, the one who dares to carve a path where none exists.

    2 holds the power of Connection. It speaks the language of harmony, compassion, and deep listening. It’s the number of bridges, peacemakers and soulmates. 

    Creativity, Self-Expression and Joy

    → The Artist of Light and Voice

    3 brings color to the canvas of life. It’s the storyteller, the poet, the spark of laughter. Through words, movement, and emotion, 3 shares truth in the most heartfelt and playful ways. Its power lies in expression.

    Hard Work, Discipline and Structure

    → The Foundation of Home and Earth

    4 is the builder. It lays the bricks, sets the rhythm, and holds the form. There is beauty in its consistency and devotion. It teaches that discipline is a form of love, and that real growth requires roots.

    Relationships, Balance and Diplomacy

    → Transformation Through Travel

    5 is movement incarnate. It is the wind, the wildfire, the road trip of the soul. It thrives in the unknown and teaches us how to embrace change without fear.

    Family, Responsibility and Harmony

    6 brings love back home. It is the energy of service, devotion, and sacred responsibility. It holds space for others with a deep heart and a fierce sense of care. 

    Reflection, Spirituality and Learning

    → The Path of Solitude and Mastery

    7 seeks truth in silence. It asks the deeper questions, reads between the lines and retreats to remember. This number is about spiritual depth, inner wisdom and the pursuit of knowing beyond knowing.

    Power, Abundance and Financial Growth

    → The High-Achiever of the Material World

    8 commands Presence. It’s here to master energy, leadership and the flow of abundance. With balance and integrity, 8 teaches us how to use power consciously – to Build, Empower and Uplift.

    Completion, Let Go, Transformation

    → The End of the Cycle

    9 is the great releaser. It holds the wisdom of all that came before and prepares us to surrender what no longer serves. It is the energy of compassion, service and transcendence.
