Pythagorean numerology believes in reincarnation. Each reincarnation helps our spiritual self inch closer to a state of higher awareness however in some incarnations we make mistakes and may even commit crimes. These mistakes manifest themselves as karmic debt.
The double digit numbers 13, 14, 16 and 19 represent this karmic debt. They are most important when they manifest in your core numbers and in particular your Life Path, Heart’s Desire, Personality and Birth Day.
Each of the karmic debt numbers has its own special meaning, its own characteristics and each represents its own unique challenge.
Pythagorean numerology often reduces numbers to a single digit so how can these double digit numbers occur? The number 1 is reached by adding 1+0, 2+8 or 3+7 for example. 3+7 totals 10 which in turn becomes 1+0 and 1.
In addition the numbers 1, 4, 5 and 7 can be preceded by certain two digit combinations in order to highlight the karmic debt number. When the number 7 is preceded by the number 16 we count the 16, when the number 5 is preceded by the number 14 we count the 14 and when the number 3 is preceded by the number 13 then we count the 13.
The number 13 in karmic debt
People with carrying the karmic debt of 13 may often feel that for every two steps forward they take one step back. As a result some give up and others succumb to laziness. However, hard work is the watch word of the number 13 and with focus and concentration those burdened by the number will succeed.
The number 14 in karmic debt
This karmic debt is often accrued through overindulgence in previous lives. As a result those burdened by the number may once again fall prey to the temptations of drugs, alcohol, too much food or other heady delights. The watchword of the number 14 is commitment. This karmic debt is overcome by leading an ordered but flexible life.
The number 16 in karmic debt
The number 16 represents revolution, the pulling down of the old establishment in favour of something new. It stands for regeneration as much as it does for destruction. Those burdened by the number 16 will experience this; they will experience a great fall but will regenerate and recover with strength. Humility is essential and the ego is a great weakness.
The number 19 in karmic debt
This karmic debt drives people towards the extremes of independence and sometimes isolation. The challenge faced by those carrying this burden is to open up and except help from others. Lessons are often learnt the hard way by those living with the number 19.
In Pure Spirit
Do you carry any of the karmic debt numbers? What does it mean to you? Do you think one of these numbers might be in play in your life?

The 16 karmic debt occurs in my Life Path (16/7) and it has me already experienced rise and fall more than once in this life. The falls are never happy but it also plants seeds for huge spiritual growth..

I've got a 14 karmic debt, which makes sense

Wow I have a 16 and a 13…which describes me perfectly. I have a HUGE ego and I want to do something that seems totally impossible in my future…I'm being told not to because it will be hard but I don't want to give up…Now I see I have a debt…

I have a few questions to clarify. So if your born in the 20th Century, is that considered a Karmic Debt number, so therefore everyone born in the 1900's was born with some sort of Karmic Debt during the last Century? And lets say if a number in your B-date is 17 then do you count just the 7 as a root number or only when is it transformed into another number by using the formula equation (1+7) and disregard it as part of the Karmic debt? I did an equation with 17 and 19 in it and after doing the Karmic Debt Equation the base number I came up with is 8. So then that means there's no Karmic Debt am I right?
