This is the number of Earth, the Earth Mother. TWO’s love to help people and usually have lots of friends and acquaintances. People often come to you with their problems because they know that you will be truthful but tactful.
TWO’s are the natural born diplomats, able to see both sides of a story or problem. They tend to be tactful, dependable, patient and understanding.
Sometimes shy and lacking in resolution, TWO’s value friendship and sentiment. TWO’s will always finish a project, even when they have lost interest, simply because they hate to leave anything unfinished.
There is often a knack for taking the individuals ideas of others and bringing them together into something that seems unique. This knack means that TWO’s often succeed, where others fail. TWO’s are able to recognise their own limitations and are often able to see the limitations of others.
There can be a tendency to see yourself as the “well from which others drink” and this can lead to spreading yourself too thinly and depleting your own energy levels. There is a need to take care of your own needs too. TWO’s need to learn where to draw the line between what is acceptable and what is excessive and to separate fact from fantasy. Don’t always give in “just to keep the peace”, especially if its something you feel strongly about.
The gentle caring nature of the TWO can sometimes make them an easy target for confidence tricksters.
TWO’s make excellent partners in business or marriage. Your fondness for home life and domestic happiness are often the source of strength that keeps you going when times are hard. TWO’s are often sensitive, bordering on clairsentience and tend to feel things very deeply. This can sometimes lead to being easily hurt.
People with this number predominant in their chart tend to make good, reliable friends. They need to love and be loved.
The lesson of the number TWO is to cultivate sympathy and understanding and to be aware of the need to co-operate with others.
