These Numbers In Your Numerology Chart Mean You're Carrying Karmic Debt

Numerology is believed to give us insights into everything from our life's destiny to who we're most compatible with. And if you're a believer in karma, numerology can also clue you into the karmic debt you might be carrying from past lives.

In numerology, karmic debt describes something that occurred in a past life that you're now making amends for in this lifetime.

Karmic debt is indicated in your numerology birth chart with one or more of the following four numbers: 13, 14, 16, and 19.

Depending on which number and where it is in your chart, it shows areas you struggle with, such as love or power. "Karmic debt speaks to areas where we may be feeling more challenges, [but] most people have karmic debt numbers," numerologist and author of You Are Cosmic Code Kaitlyn Kaerhart explains.

If you have karmic debt number 13 in your numerology chart, it is associated with laziness and selfishness in a past life.

A karmic debt number 14 is all about abuse of freedom, whether through indulgence or dominating others.

The karmic debt number 16 can be the most challenging to overcome and signifies a very strong ego in a past life, as well as relationship issues.

The karmic debt number 19 indicates someone who abused their power in a past life and caused people to suffer.

Rather than thinking of karmic debt as something you have to "repay" or suffer from, Kaerhart likes to view it as a necessary experience. You have to go through things that "show you what others around you went through because of you" in a past life, she previously told mindbodygreen, adding, "And in understanding that, you're meant to find a better approach."

So, depending on which karmic debt number(s) is in your chart, when you come up against challenges in that area, remind yourself of the lessons that can be found in trying times. For instance, if you have 14 in your chart, perhaps you practice mindfulness to help yourself be more disciplined.
