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.
I found this website very informative because for the past 8 years the number 33 has played such a big part in my life. I have tried to find out or understand why this number is so prevalent in my every day life, but have come up with no certain answer yet.
David – I’m glad you visited Speaking from the Heart. Thank you for your comment.
Thank you for this! I have just today realised that both myself and other half are 33′s… It’s strange, the 1st time we met we spoke for hours about all that was wrong with the world and how we would fix it and we fell in love instantly. We also have a daughter who is a 6 too. It’s amazing! I am due another baby in Novemeber, it will be interesting to see what life path number they have! If it’s the 17th, they will also be a 6 =)
Debi – I’m glad you enjoyed this post and that it resonated with you
June 21st 1995 here so I guess I’m a 33…
I do try to get out there with my kindness. It’s strange how true and accurate this article seems to be. Lovely read.
Ali – I’m glad you enjoyed this post. Thank you for letting me know. But then again, you’re a Life Path 33 and I wouldn’t expect anything less
..woaahh.
at first i thought i was just a simple “6″
..but due to continuing on reading i had found out about these master numbers such as 11, 22, and 33.
..i was born nov. 8 1994. ( 11 + 8 + 1994) = 33
.i know there something special inside me.
..i know there’s a bright future that aholds of me.
and almost every numerology facts about me were all out of this world.
..i’m a scorpio. i got a 8 birth date. and now i got this 33 life path.
..now i’m still a teenager about going 18 yrs old and everyone of my friends think of me as not normal or should i say a very unique and special being . well thats the real me and i know and aware of it.
..by the way thanks. ^^
Yael – I’m so glad you resonated with this post
After reading about Life path 6 and Master number 33 I’m amazed at how accurate this describes me. I’m a June 22, 1949 = 33. I once was told that my birth day of 22 also meant something but I can’t remember what. So much of what was written fits me so well. I am the caretaker of my 91 year mother and if someone close to me needs help they call me first. I need to learn to say no sometimes and I just don’t know how. I consider myself a strong person but I worry about others worrying and being under stress, if that makes sense to you at all. I guess I stress over their stress, and If I can relieve their stress then it relieves stress in me. Wow….I hope that came out right. Thank you so much for sharing this information. Meryl Streep and Lindsay Wagner have my exact birth date, so I guess I’m in good company.i
Neva – I’m glad you enjoyed the information. Thank you for stopping by Speaking from the Heart. And you’re absolutely right – with company like Meryl Streep and Lindsay Wagner, you simply can’t go wrong
Hi Laurie,
I am a fellow 33 as well (4/16/1984). I have been trying to figure out my place in this world even though I have a successful career, varied network of friends and family, and plenty of traveling abroad opportunities. I have always had an affinity to help those in need and who are less privileged. In the upcoming year, I was planning on joining an organization for orphans in Central or South America for a year or two. It is both comforting and unnerving to be a 33. We are capable of so much, but it can be a tall order at times to find happiness by giving others what they need instead of taking care of ourselves according to society’s standards. I was not built for routine or perhaps even a stable home life, which is influenced by other numbers in my numerology chart. I embrace it, though, and am so thankful to be who God created me to be. I know that I can provide great change and compassion for this world and that stability is not as alluring to me as it is may be to others. I desire change and finding ways of setting others free. Thank you for this site. It is wonderful and reassuring!
Lulu – You’re welcome. I’m glad you resonated so strongly with this post.
Hello Mrs. Laurie, I was born according to my birth records at 3/23/86 but my dad says I was born 03/24/86 any ways Ive read the 5 & 6 chart and I honestly have the heart of a 6 though I Love freedom I am through and through a 6. what do you think
Courtney – In numerology everything hinges on using the accurate date of birth.
With much delight and “a-ha” have just learned of the Master numbers. My birth date 09-07-1970 makes my twin sister and I both 33′s. And it all makes sense now! I can mostly identify with “These individuals have a very high spiritual quotient and some believe that they have a direct mental connection with God”. The trick is to harness all the potential into greatness. Thank you.
SandraD – Twin sisters, both Master Numbers 33 – WOW! I love the word picture you painted of harnessing all the potential.
hey Laurie.. i know that picture… I have been there… i actually live on Eleuthera.. and believe it or not i am a 33. didnt even know until a young man told who studied these types of things explained it to me… my birthday is the 8th january 1995… i just had to comment when i saw eleuthera… the island means alot to me..
Jesse – My good friend, Lisa Krupp, lives on Eleuthera part-time. We stay at her place when we visit your beautiful island
I just quit my well-paying job to follow my heart and in registering my own business, I have determined that my registered business number is a 33. This is the most amazing thing as the whole purpose of my business is to meet objectives as you have shared on Master Number 33. What is the correlation to a business number and 33?
Carole
@KnowBSVancouver
Carole – I think that a “registered business number” is unique to Canada. As such, I’m not familiar with it.
What I do know with certainty is this: As a Master Number 33, business — whether service or product — will be something that has a positive, uplifting, constructive, and healing effect on the lives of those it touches.
Onward!
Hi Laurie!
So happy to have stumbled upon your blog here…what a wonderful read! Just found out that I am a 33…while I’m not so sure about the spiritual leader stuff much of it makes so much sense! I am making some big changes in my life right now and this makes me feel so much better. I will be ok! Thanks for helping me connect the dots! Onward, indeed!
Mandy – I’m glad you happened upon this blog as well. I’m glad this post resonated with you, thank you for letting me know.
