The letters of the alphabet are divided into four categories: Physical, Mental, Emotional,
and Intuitive.
The proportion of each category in your name gives a good indication of which Planes
of Expression are strongest in you, and which ones are weaker.
The sum (reduced to a single digit or Master number) of the numbers found on each plane
reveals how you deal with your experiences on that plane. These Planes of Expression can
greatly help you to understand your talents and abilities.
In addition, the letters of the alphabet are also considered to be either creative, vacillating
(wavering), or grounded (practical).
NOTE: Some numerologists base their calculations of the Planes of Expression on
the number values of the letters. This is incorrect. Letters have their own archetypal
personalities and, when calculating the Planes of Expression, should be considered on
their own merit. For example, the E, the N, and the W all have the value of 5. However,
the letters E and W are both considered physical letters. While the N is seen as a mental
letter.
The chart below shows the status of the letters in the alphabet according to these categories:
| |
Creative |
Vacillating |
Grounded |
Physical |
E |
W |
D M |
Mental |
A |
H J N P |
G L |
Emotional |
I O R Z |
B S T X |
|
Intuitive |
K |
F Q U Y |
C V |
Food for thought:
Notice that not a single letter in the alphabet is both grounded and emotional.
All vowels are creative with the exception of the U, which is vacillating.
The Planes of Expression chart is one of the more complex systems in numerology; however,
a good understanding of the Planes of Expression rewards you with considerable insight.
The chart below shows Tom Cruise’s Planes of Expression.
The top row lists the Physical letters, and the sum of their value reduced to a single
digit. The second row shows the Mental letters. The third row shows the Emotional letters.
The fourth row reveals the Intuitive letters. This is Tom’s Planes of Expression chart.
Starting at the top, we notice the letter E appears twice; with a value of 5 each, they
add to 10 which reduces to 1. He does not have a W in his name, so there are no vacillating
physical letters, hence the number 0 in olive green. But he does have the letter M twice
in his name, including once as an initial (shown as a capital M). The letter M has a value
of 4. Together they add to 8. See the 8 to the right of the letters M. Next to the 8 you
see a 4. This tells you that there are 4 Physical letters in his name. And finally, the
last number in the top row is a 9, telling us that the sum of all the Physical letters
in his name is 9.
Follow the second, third, and fourth row for similar insights.
The fifth row is different; it shows the sum of the letters in the columns above it.
Remember, the chart lists the Physical, Mental, Emotional, and Intuitive letters on each
row, but it also reveals the Grounded, Vacillating, and Creative letters in the vertical
sections. The first number in the fifth row lets us know that Tom has 9 Grounded letters
in his name. Together they add to 6 as reflected in the next number in the fifth row.
The 8 means that there are eight vacillating letters, and the 5 next to that represents
the reduced numerical value of those 8 letters. Next to the 5 we find a 3, because there
are 3 Creative letters adding to a total numerical value of 11, reduces to 2. Next to
the 2 we find the number 20, telling us that Tom has a total of 20 letters in his name.
And in the furthest right bottom corner we find a 4. This 4 reflects the reduced value
of the sum of all the letters in Tom’s full name at birth, and should therefore always
be the same as the Expression number.
We will use the name Thomas John Hancock as an example for the Planes of Expression
chart.

THE MEANING OF THE PLANES OF EXPRESSION NUMBERS.
Each of us experiences life on four different levels: with our physical body; our mental
faculty; our emotional makeup; and our intuition. Each of these areas has a specific means
of perceiving information. The physical body is capable of touch, taste, pleasure, and
pain. It provides us with a sense of the physical world. The mental body, like the emotional
and intuitive natures, perceives the invisible worlds. Our minds deal with the world of
thought. The heart, of course, is preoccupied exclusively with the world of emotion. Our
feelings teach us many things about ourselves and about others. Finally, we have the capacity
for direct contact with the higher realms by way of intuition. Intuitive insight comes
in a flash. It is not rational -- that is the world of the mental plane -- but comes as
if it were placed at the doorstep of our minds. Intuition, therefore, bypasses all effort
save that of perception.
These four faculties exist in all of us. But each of us depends more on one or two of
them for the bulk of our knowledge. Some of us are possessed by our senses, while others
live almost exclusively in our hearts, or minds. Numerology indicates how we as individuals
function on each plane.
