Arithmacy Homework
Arythmacy is an old art of Fortune telling, that has been around for centuries.It consists in interpreting the numbers and finding out their meaning.
Last lesson, we started talking about numbers, and, for now, we came up to number 4.

Here are the numbers (from one to four), and their meaning:

Number one
This is the number for solidarity,the individual mind.
Ones are independent, focused, and determined. They set a goal and stick to it. They are leaders and inventors. Ones find it difficult to work with others and don't like to take orders. They can be self-centered, egotistical, and domineering. They are often loners.

Number two
The number two rappresents unity, teamwork, cooparation, and balance. Twos are imaginative, creative, and sweet natured.
This number is also ment to rappresent peace, harmony, commitment, loyalty and fairness. Twos also introduce the idea of conflict, opposing forces, and the contrasting sides of things.
It's like those muggle talismans, the elements contrast each other: day and night, good and evil, male and femal, etc.
