Colours of Numerology
BY HAYDEN CRAWFORD FOUNDER, DREEMTIME ACADEMY
The pink love, creativity & DESTRUCTION of John Lennon

The colour pink exudes the feminine vibration of unconditional love, harmony and compassion but like all other colours on the spectrum, it also embodies some challenging influences. Hidden in the shadows of pink is the victim archetype.
Knowing this, if I ask you which iconic musical artist’s life clearly demonstrated the tragic opposites of the lover and the victim, who comes to mind?
John Lennon, was an English singer, songwriter, musician, author, artist and peace activist who achieved worldwide fame as the founder, co-lead vocalist, and rhythm guitarist of the Beatles.
He brought love to the planet during the swinging sixties whilst the Vietnam war presented humanity with the option of war or peace. Starting with 1967’s “All You Need Is Love”, his songs were adopted as anthems by the anti-war movement. Fiercely protesting and criticizing the war, he was almost deported from America by the Nixon administration in the seventies.
John is a Ruling 6 and was born under the astrological sign of Libra. Bottle 6 in the Colour Mirrors system is the planet of love, Venus and is pale pink over pale pink. Number 6 in Numerology represents creativity, love and peace as well as the polar opposite - destruction, hate and war. Libra is represented by the scales bringing balance and harmony between two opposing elements which was a true reflection of John’s life purpose. He battled to bring these dissected parts of his psyche together and this reflected into his outer experiences. Ironically, he became the victim when he was shot and killed in the archway of his Manhattan apartment building by a Beatles fan, Mark David Chapman.
As a Numerologist specializing in Colour Therapy, I observe the world through the lens of the soul. Before we incarnate upon this earthy paradise, we must make an array of fateful choices. These will determine our true purpose, personality blueprint, deepest inner yearnings, how we are perceived by the outside world, our strengths and weaknesses and the best times to embark upon new projects and ventures.
This is not only reflected in our numerological influences such as our Ruling Number, Day Number and Peak Years of Maturity but also through a sequence of soul colour vibrations.
So the time, place and date we are born and the name we select for ourselves become a reliable roadmap, which will navigate us gracefully along our journey to fulfilling our important missions.
So, let’s take a look at his influences...

ARROW OF HYPERSENSITIVITY: Lack of 2, 5 and 8
ARROW OF THE ENQUIRER: Lack of 3, 5 and 7
Upon analysis of John’s dominant numbers, we can see that they are evenly spread across the Mind Plane (9 and 6) and the Soul Plane (8 and 5) gifting him with strengths in thinking and feeling.
However, he has two negative arrows in his Birth Chart. The first is called the ‘Arrow of Hypersensitivity’ (lack of 2, 5 and 8) which can lead to emotional problems due to deep sensitivity which can be easily seen by others. It offered him weak soul protection so he would get easily hurt. Being a sensitive Libran Ruling 6, the events that took place in his earlier years would have been a tougher pill to swallow than the LSD he became addicted to. He was forced to choose between his parents as a 5 years old child and his mother Julia was killed in a car accident when he was 18 which turned him to drink, drugs and blind rage. Separation/mother issues is another major aspect of the psychology of pink.
The second is called the ‘Arrow of the Enquirer’ (lack of 3, 5 and 7) is also one of weakness. It can lead to great skepticism and accepting nothing based on trust.
What is a Ruling Number?
Your Ruling Number reveals your life’s purpose including your talents, obstacles, skills, strengths and abilities and how you experience your emotions. It also helps you to comprehend why you have chosen various life lessons, circumstances and challenges. The lessons you are meant to learn are usually the most difficult for you but it also reveals where you have the most potential. It offers the biggest influence on your Birth Chart so is an exceptionally important number..
What is a Day Number?
Our main purpose in life is indicated by our Ruling Number but we are not intended to only pursue this purpose without some contrast which enables us to develop other aspects of our personality, This is what our Day Number is for, which is derived from the actual day of the month we came into the world. This reveals the manner in which we express our outer self to the world.
So what does this tell us about him?
Ruling 6 - Creative or Destructive
Peace and harmony in the home and relationships are priority number one for these people. Ruling 6’s crave love, balance and serenity within a happy home but unfortunately, John was denied these privileges during his youth, shaping him into the nonconformist that the world fell in love with.
6’s are very connected to music, colour and the arts, in fact, anything that evokes a sense of harmony and is aesthetically pleasing to the eye. If things don’t live up to their expectations they feel that life is unfair and can become self-destructive, rebellious or possessive when living negatively. John demonstrated all of these traits at various times on his journey.
They shine in creative vocations which aim at helping others such as artists, designers, actors or musicians which ultimately enables them to overcome their own anxiety. His love of music was John’s coping mechanism and love was the magic interwoven throughout his lyrics.
When we add up all of the numbers in his date of birth, the total is 24 which is a pale magenta over pale olive bottle. Its name is ‘Love, Money and Creativity’ offering him the secondary influence as a master weaver, suggesting his music to be a work of art. His life would therefore ultimately grant him blessings of love, money and creativity based on his heritage from past lifetimes. However, this colour combination also reveals co-dependency in relationships which became apparent once he partnered with Yoko Ono.
Day Number 9
Alongside the biggest influence in his Birth Chart, Ruling 6, is a firey Day Number 9. Bottle 9 is called Mars and is red over orange. It is powerful and warlike. This power can be harnessed when things need changing instead of being meek and angry. Mars is a powerful ally when things need to be set in motion and it energizes you so that you speak up for your rights. John’s anger would get him into trouble. He fought men and hit
women. His first wife Cynthia was terrified of him. He admitted that he could not express himself so he would lash out. He didn’t question his chauvinistic behavior until he met Yoko Ono and even this union was terminated for a period as John’s addictions got out of control.
Number 9 also represents the humanitarian. Anyone with a Day Number 9 holds great responsibility, driven by idealism. It implies a very serious role in affairs and people can become very ambitious under this influence. It offers a wise and strategic mind. Day 9s can be idealistic, compassionate, extremely creative with a good education in the arts. Their deep understanding of life leads them into being of service in the community. We can observe these efforts from John during his anti-war demonstrations.
Outer Expression 5
Anyone with this number has a need for freedom from physical confinement. Misunderstandings tend to inhibit the fullness of their expression so they need to be around responsive, uninhibited people. It links to bottle 5 Mercury (green over pale Green) which relates to movement, communication and versatility. The number five relates to issues of discipline and freedom, and the colour green signifies change and new beginnings. John could only discover freedom through honesty and was forced to change whatever made him feel small.
This number is derived from number 23 so we must look at this influence too. In the Colour Mirrors system, bottle 23 is called Communication (royal blue over deep olive). Expression was John’s antidote to anger both through his music and protests which were ultimately enablers to help him release his deep sense of persecution and separation. His powerful lyrics were never misunderstood and his truth about love was received openheartedly by the planet.
Soul Urge 8
People with a Soul Urge 8 have an innate desire to be independent. Like John, they tend to mentally disassociate from unconventionally accepted habits. They prefer individual thought and freedom but must guard against becoming aloof. John left the Beatles in September 1969 and up to 1972, he produced more than a dozen records with Ono, including a trilogy of avant-garde albums, his first solo LP John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band, and the international top 10 singles “Give Peace a Chance”, “Instant Karma!”, “Imagine” and “Happy Xmas (War Is Over).” He, George Harrison and Ringo Starr “got fed up with being sidemen for Paul McCartney’’. It is interesting to observe that this is derived from number 17 which is ‘The Wish’ (coral over blue) bottle. This indicates that his deepest inner yearnings were for a time for positive payback and all of his wishes being fulfilled.
The legendary John Lennon was a complicated character. His lyrics inspired positive change, unlike anything we have ever witnessed but his inner world was in turmoil. As he struggled to deal with childhood trauma, he lost connection to himself with severe addictions to alcohol and illicit drugs. All of his anti-war demonstrations couldn’t then save him from his own fate at the hands of a murderer. Isn’t this a huge lesson for humanity to focus on self-love first before projecting our discontentment, angst and fears outwards onto the things we value the most?.
