THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN IFA ORACLE AND NUMEROLOGY BY OLALEKAN ODUNTAN.

Like I said in my previous write up while comparing the meanings of numbers one to six corpuses of Ifa Oracle with the meanings of numbers one to six life paths in Numerology that both Ifa Oracle and Numerology deal with numbers. No Ifa Oracle priest or Numerologist can look into the future successfully for anybody without knowing the meanings of those numbers before applying them into use. 

And the rules and regulations guiding them must also be put into use. Today, I want to show us the meanings of another six corpuses of Ifa Oracle as related to the meanings of another six number in Numerology. The number seven corpus of Ifa Oracle is called OBARA MEJI. And the meanings are as follows: Expecting a visitor, travelling, progress and happiness, marriage in the offing and patience generally in everything. 

But in Numerology, the meanings of number 7's life path are as follows: Positive Characteristics: 7 isn't just a lucky number. It is also spiritual, intelligent, analytical, focused, introspective, studious, intuitive, knowledgeable, contemplative, serious, persevering, refined, gracious and displays much inner wisdom.

Negative Characteristics: 7s can be aloof, distant, sarcastic, socially awkward, melancholic, cowardly and, when they're at their worst, back-stabbers.

The next in number of Ifa Oracle is the corpus called OKANRAN MEJI. And the meanings are as follows: Be aware of court case, be careful not to fight and drag issues with anybody because the controversy can be fatal. Remember to appease your dead parents at all times and after a long struggle, progress and happiness will follow. 

But in numerology, the meanings of number 8's life path are as follows: Positive Characteristics: 8s are authoritative, business-minded leaders. They value control and tend to be powerful, but are also balanced, materially detached, successful and realistic. They end up in management positions, are efficient, capable, street-smart and good judges of character.

Negative Characteristics: The dark side of the 8 can be cruel, insensitive, violent, bullish or greedy. At their worst, 8s can become intolerant religious zealots. 

Number nine corpus of Ifa Oracle is called OGUNDA MEJI and the meanings are as follows: Journeying abroad and one may not come back home again, progress in everything, a lot of riches and happiness. 

While the meanings of number 9's life path in Numerology go thus: Positive Characteristics: 9s are helpful, compassionate, aristocratic, sophisticated, charitable, generous, humanitarian, romantic, cooperative, creative, self-sufficient, proud and self-sacrificing.

Negative Characteristics: 9s can end up being egocentric, arrogant, self-pitying, sentimental, discontent, fickle, cold or mentally unstable. 

The number ten corpus of Ifa Oracle is called OSA MEJI, the meanings are as follows: Goodness in everything in life, Be aware of being spiritually attacked by the enemies; victory over the enemies, victory over lawsuit and giving birth to a lot of children in life. 

But in Numerology, the number that is next in line to number nine is not ten but number eleven which is being referred to as the master number. And the meanings of number 11's life path which is a master number in Numerology are as follows: Positive Characteristics: A Master number, the 11 is the most intuitive of all numbers. It is instinctual, charismatic, dynamic and capable when its sights are set on a concrete goal. The 11 is the number associated with faith and psychics.

Negative Characteristics: The 11 can be anxious, shy, stressed, conflicted and scattered. When focus is not applied toward a goal, the 11 can be extremely self-sabotaging. As a Master number, the positive characteristics will turn into obstacles when not understood or used properly. 

Number eleven of Ifa Oracle corpus is called EKA MEJI, and the meanings are as follows: Do not travel at the moment, be careful not to get sick, be careful of the enemies and progress in whatever that you do afterwards. But in Numerology, the next in line in its counting is number twenty two which is another master number. 

And the meanings of number 22's life path are as follows; Positive Characteristics: The 22 is the most powerful of all numbers, able to turn lofty dreams into realities. It is confident, pragmatic, ambitious and disciplined.

Negative Characteristics: Impracticality and self-imposed pressure can get the better of the 22. When unaware of its own potential, the 22 will miss out on or shy away from necessary opportunities. 

The last number I am looking into is the number twelve corpus of Ifa Oracle called OTURUPON MEJI, and the meanings are as follows: Expectancy of goodness from a lover, after a loss, some profitable ventures are on the way, monetary gains from abroad and giving birth to good children. 

While in Numerology, next in line in its counting of numbers is number thirty three which is the last number. But number thirty three is another master number and the meanings of its life path go thus:
