MASTER NUMBER 33
The Path of the Teacher
The 33 is a highly charged version of the 6 and all characteristics that apply for number 6 also apply for number 33. The characteristics represented by number 6 usually are enhanced in the master number 33.The 33 is the mover and shaker of Master Numbers. With 11 and 22 combined in this number, intuition and dreams reach an entirely new orbit. A 33 used to its full potential means that there’s no personal agenda, only a focus on humanitarian issues. Someone with 33 strongly featured in their chart has the ability to throw themselves into a project that’s more than practical—it can even be spiritual.
The number 33 represents full understanding before communication. In other words, you exercise front-end consideration before speaking. With 33 in your chart, you’re a person who’s highly knowledgeable, but also checks facts before preaching ideas or ideals.
When a 33 does occur in a person’s chart, we may well be looking at a great and significant spiritual leader along the lines of the Dalai Lama or Gandhi. Remember that a 33 is also a Life Path 6—a extremely nurturing and responsible number.
As a Master Number 33 your focus is on reaching the world and uplifting the loving energy of mankind. You’re not concerned with personal ambition. Rather, you have great devotion to a cause. Your desire is to use your life to raise the consciousness of as many people as possible. Your concern is the earth—Gaia—and all of her inhabitants.
Although they don’t seek it, 33 individuals usually achieve fame through acts of kindness, tenderness, and compassion that lead to the transformation of the world’s consciousness. We could be talking about someone with a large public platform—like a Mother Teresa—but we could just as easily be talking about a wonderful first-grade teacher at the local elementary school.
Shadow Side
Always coming up with ideas that other people think are “out there” you can tend to be somewhat reluctant—you hesitate. But if you follow your instincts, others will follow too. And we’ll end up with a kinder, gentler world.
Famous People with a Master Number 33
Albert Einstein, Francis Ford Coppola, John Lennon, Thomas Edison, and Stephen King.

I can’t wait to read this to Barry, Laurie, and tell him he has all the qualities to be a spiritual leader! He’ll have to change his ice-fishin’ ways…lol. Thank you for this series on the numbers. It has been very fascinating. Wondering what direction you’ll take us next.
Kathy – I’d love to be a fly on the wall when you tell Barry he has to change his ice-fishin’ ways
Laurie, I’ve tried and tried to think of a single 33 in my Life and I am drawing a blank….mostly because I really don’t keep up with birthdays out of my own circle of friends and family. I sure would like to know one though. Gazing at the photo makes me feel like I need some Island Time!
Sandi – 33′s are few and far between. And I know what you mean about Island Time! That photo was taken from the back deck of the restaurant where we celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary last year.

There are times that I believe I conform to these specifics, though the intrusion of the shadow side is also present in this particular equation. I wonder how we’d integrate your capitalistic instincts into this general mindset? I think we can dismiss much of it as innocuous enough, except for those overly ambitious. John Lennon is someone I have appreciated greatly through my life.
Another wonderful discussion here Laurie!
Sam – Thank you for your consistent visits during this lengthy series – Numically Speaking. I, in turn, am looking forward to your essays on the top FIFTY (50!) musicals ever. That’s going to be quite some undertaking! It was fun WATCHING and LISTENING to you tell about it on this YouTube clip!
Hmm… Albert Einstein – one of my heroes…
“Always coming up with ideas that other people think are ‘out there’ you can tend to be somewhat reluctant — you hesitate.” Yes, that’s me. Interesting. This post has given me much food for thought and reflection, Laurie.
I can identify with “the ability to throw themselves into a project that’s more than practical — it can even be spiritual.” Motherhood was my project and raising compassionate human beings was my goal. Never was ambitious, always resisted joining the rat race.
Thank you for this wonderful peek into the path of 33!
Barbara – Albert Einstein is on of my heroes too! I think that “raising compassionate human beings” is one of the most wonderful purposes any person can have – I applaud you!

Readers – I encourage you to head over to Sam Juliano’s POST at Wonders in the Dark and be introduced to Bayou filmmaker, Jeffrey Goodman!
Laurie though this has been a long series and I have only commented on occasion, I like knowing it is here and that I can refer other to it over time. Thank you so much for having the dedication and persistence to bring it to us.
By the way your photograph is stunning.
Terrill – This series was fun to present, I’m glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for the compliment regarding the photograph – I took it on the back deck of the restaurant on Eleuthera Island where we were enjoying our 30th wedding anniversary dinner.
Laurie, like Terrill I’ll be glad to have this to refer back to. It’s been SO interesting. Thank you for this.
Colleen - I really enjoy working with numerology. I’m glad you found the Numerically Speaking series interesting
Im a number 33/6. My Birthday is January 16, 1987. I just found out about numerology.
I always wondered why i have a deep profound desire to help heal the soul of the world. I’m 24 years old now, and just started a company to help heal the world. I’m using it because i believe the company will become an outside reflection of my inner self.
Joseph – You are, indeed, a beautiful reflection of Source Energy.
