I see your numbers as characters, each with their own strengths, struggles, and story of growth throughout your life.
Your numbers work together like different personalities within you. Some naturally bring out each other’s strengths, while others can be more challenging together. A reading helps you recognize which parts are leading, which are still growing, and which strengths you can lean on when another part of you is struggling.
You do not have to become someone else. Growth can mean understanding yourself, developing your range, and learning when to pivot.
The Concepts I Use in Our Work Together
I tend to think from the top down. I often grasp the overall idea, pattern, or relationship first, then work toward the details. I can have a clear sense of what something means before I know how to explain it in a neat, step-by-step way. When I start talking, I may jump straight into the concept, then circle back to build the bridge that helps someone else follow me. Sometimes the words arrive after the understanding.
Concepts help me hold the big idea; pictures help me give it shape. I use both to sort through what I’m noticing and communicate it in a way that feels concrete. An image can capture a relationship or feeling that might take many sentences to explain. Putting an idea into words alongside a picture gives people more than one way to connect with it.
This is how I think in general, and it naturally shapes how I approach numerology. I notice patterns and how different parts connect, then look for stories, examples, or images that make those patterns easier to see. The material below reflects that process: ideas I think in, made visible and easier to explore.
Sometimes We Just Need to Know Where to Look
Imagine visiting the same familiar restaurant a dozen times. The walls are covered in paintings, photographs, and tiny details. You could visit again and again and still notice something you had never seen before. Your life can be like that.
A reading does not have to invent something new to be meaningful. Sometimes it simply draws your attention toward one picture on the wall.
And once you walk closer and spend some time looking, you may discover details that were there all along and it may change everything!
Your Goal Numbers
I do not think of a goal number as an assignment or something you are required to accomplish.
I think of it more as an invitation to explore.
It can point toward experiences, interests, or ways of being that may have something to show you about yourself. Sometimes spending time there gives you access to qualities you have not used as much elsewhere in your chart.
It is less “You need to go here” and more “There may be something for you over here.”
Your Numbers Tell a Story
I think of the numbers in your chart almost like different characters within you. Each has its own strengths, struggles, and hero’s journey. Some may already feel easy to understand and rely on, while others are still developing.
A reading is not about putting you into a box. It is about understanding the different parts of yourself and how they work together.
When Your Numbers Meet
Your numbers do not exist separately. Different numbers in your chart interact almost like putting two personalities in the same room.
Some combinations naturally bring out the best in each other. Others can be challenging. Two numbers that are both struggling may amplify each other’s harder qualities, while another number in your chart may already have strengths that can help.
Sometimes the question becomes: Which part of me needs the microphone right now?
Every Number Has a Hero’s Journey
I do not see difficult qualities in a chart as bad numbers. I see them as parts of ourselves that may be earlier in their story.
The parts that come naturally can sometimes leap over lessons. The harder parts often have to climb one tiny rung at a time.
Those tiny steps matter. In fact, the areas we struggle with most can become some of the areas we get the most out of, because we actually get to experience ourselves growing.
Your Default Setting and the Energy You Carry
Some numbers describe a way of being that feels like your preferred default setting. It is how you naturally tend to operate.
Repeated numbers can work differently. I think of these more like a light you carry. The brightness may turn up or down, but the colour of the light remains the same.
You do not have to consciously express that energy for other people to feel it. It comes with you.
Sometimes the Hard Parts Need Understanding
This is one reason numerology fits so naturally alongside the shadow work and parts work I already use.
Instead of asking, “How do I get rid of this part of myself?” we can become curious about it.
What is it trying to do? Where is it in its story? What happens when it gets together with another part of you? And what other strengths do you already have that could help? Understanding gives us more choices.
You Can Pivot
Growth does not always require changing who you are. Sometimes you simply recognize that the part of you currently leading is not helping you get where you want to go. Another part of you may already have exactly what you need. You can pivot.
You do not have to handle something perfectly for that pivot to count. Falling down and getting back up is still movement forward.
Becoming More of Yourself
The goal is not to turn every part of yourself into the same thing.
It is to become more well rounded so you have more of yourself available to you.
You can still have natural strengths and a preferred way of operating. But instead of asking the same few parts of yourself to handle everything, you can develop greater range.
You are not becoming someone else. You are becoming more of yourself.

From Curiosity to Calling: How Numerology Wizard School Became My Study
Written: November 9, 2025
I first seen Tami-Lopresti my Cosmic Ascended Numerology instructor on Lara Starr’s morning Podcast. She did my numbers. She’s read my numbers a few times. Each time I desperately needed to hear it. I’m not someone who feels comfortable asking. Especially more than once. The two times after that my guides were pushing me. Until I would say fine, I’ll ask, and both times were turning points in my life. I am a very deep thinker and I take everything to heart. I take advice seriously. I even asked for advice from a senior nurse who was telling me at one point I shouldn’t be doing what I’m doing. I straight up said to her, “but I like doing this what would you suggest?” She then gave me advice. It was great advice! I’m currently doing what she advised. I was so mad at her, but that’s how much I value advice.
It also reminds of a day in nursing school when one of my teachers was checking up on me on during a practicum. It was in a surgical ward. In Lions Gate Hospital. My instructor’s name was L. Speakman. I swear I made a lot of soul contracts with people who agreed to have names that match who they are to me. Where I work right now, it’s like the Wizard of Oz. There are so many surgeons that have names that fit their role. I could go on and on about this one. Don’t even get me started, and if you do that’s another story for another time. Back to this story. My four in my birthday pulls me in a lot of directions, but thank god my one gets me back on track and brings all my rabbit holes/trails back together. It makes me good at comedy too. I’m like the comedian that brings a whole series of jokes all together at the end. Full circle. Ok seriously, back to my story. So, I was on a surgical ward for a student practicum. My teacher L. Speakman came into a patient room where I was in caring for a patient. She got straight to the point with this patient who was about to go for bowel surgery. She got so much information out of him in the shortest amount of time possible with active listening. I just stood there in awe. Like dang girl! Not that I want to get information out of something as fast as possible. I just could see how approaching someone and asking, and delivering the right information can have such a huge impact. I was impressed. This made a big impact on my life going forward. I’ve since learned how to do this. Not through her, but she is one of my mentors. Speaking of which, I’m in the “My World” section of the course. I must add her to one of my mentors. I don’t know how I’ll find her numbers, but where there is a will there is a way.
The first time Tami read my numbers on a podcast, it was similar to the moment I had with my nursing instructor. Like wow. She told me about my double fives and eight. She said I was an extreme people pleaser. She didn’t know if I was on the other side of that yet. She said I have, or I will at some point tell people that’s enough! At this point in my journey, I would tell people I’m a recovering doormat. I have told a few people in so many words that’s enough. Like ENOUGH! Enough walking all over me like I’m a doormat, as flat as a doormat and telling me I’m not even flat enough to walk on. That’s a quote by Dr. Phil. He said some people will walk all over you and complain you aren’t flat enough to walk on. I grew up in the 90’s. Sick days were The Price is Right, Oprah and Dr. Phil. Slowly, but surely I’m getting boundaries. I’m sticking up for myself. I’m getting on the other side of my double fives and eight extreme people pleasing tendencies.
Now I’m stepping into my various combinations with personal relationship dynamics that have more to do with change. It also now has less to do with them taking my energy, or I would go as far as to say me just giving it away like it’s candy. I’ve also learned that protecting people from themselves doesn’t benefit anyone. It keeps them and me from growing, because they never face themselves and that’s the whole point. It also gets me to focus on myself instead of everyone else. Taking care of everyone else except myself means on some level I thought I had control over everything. So, letting that go has been scary. There is a difference from knowing I never had control all along: than facing it. Moments for growth! So hard. Also, so worth it! I already knew all this.
What made a difference, was someone speaking into my life like this. She cut straight to the point. I want to make a difference without giving away so much energy. Get in and get out. I want to give away energy like it’s candy, but it leads to so many negative consequences. Not bleeding out energy to help people seems like great boundary to attain. Or at least have it in my tool box. I love spending hours with people. It also means I can’t get to as many people as spirit will send me if I don’t have boundaries. Sometimes spirit/God/spirit guides/angels/spirit team members will only want me to get in and get out with pointed advice anyways. Save my energy and save theirs too.
The reason I signed up for Tami’s Wizard School, is the same reason I looked up to my other nursing instructor mentor L. Speakman. I saw Tami do her numerology readings and said “I want to do that!” I want to do what she is doing and have the impact that she is having. She walks the talk. Tami knows what she is doing. I’ve been trying to have an impact on everyone around me my whole life. My mom recently told me of a story when I was a baby and I had the flu. She said she looked at me and thought I didn’t look scared at all. Even as a baby, I was reading energy and trying to help people. With this course I will get to help people even more. The people who need it. Not the people who are looking for me to do it for them, or to just take my energy. I know the difference now. I just gave a reading to one of my guy friends. He said to me after he listened to my 5-minute audio reading he said, “frightening how that resonates with me”. I said “I knew this course was right up my ally. It helps me make more sense about myself and other people”. I told him, “You make more sense to me now”. This course is magical! It also fits my theme. Tami’s last name has Presti in it, and she impressed me! A lot of things make me happy. It takes a lot to impress me through to the level like my nursing instructor and Tami have.
