What does Life Path Number 11 mean?

The number 11 is the first master number in numerology. It is not reduced to the number 2 as the usual rule would require, because it carries a special energetic frequency, higher and far more powerful than the single-digit numbers. The two digits 1 standing side by side are like two pillars or two gateways, symbolising the connection between the material world and the spiritual world. According to numerology, those with Life Path Number 11 are described as "messengers", possessing outstanding intuition and the ability to sense subtle things that others find hard to perceive. The context should be made clear: according to Mrs. L. Dow Balliett and Juno Jordan, birth-date numerology took shape in the late 19th and early 20th century (Balliett began it, Juno Jordan systematised it), so the meaning assigned to each number is a convention of that system, not the result of research into personality.
