The Relative Power of the Core Elements in Numerology

Here's a diagram of the core, showing the relations of the elements:

It's apparent that each core element has a different size, representing their different relative powers. The Life Path has the most power. It provides approximately fifty percent of the power of the core. The Expression is responsible for about thirty percent of the power while the Soul Urge provides only about twenty percent. The force of the Life Path is approximately equal to the forces of the Expression and Soul Urge combined. The Birthday strength is far less than the other elements. It represents about a fifth the power of the Life Path (1/5 x 50) or ten percent of the strength of the core. The Birthday, then, is only about a third as strong as the Expression and about half as strong as the Soul Urge. (As the diagram shows, the Birthday is always treated as an integral part of the Life Path.)
Perhaps this drawing shows the relative power of the core elements even more dramatically:

The synthesis, of course, must reflect the relative power of the elements. For instance, a core with a 3 Life Path and a 22 Soul Urge would produce an emphasis on the 3. Half the strength of the core would be related to the 3 potential and only about one-fifth of the strength to the 22, so that the 3 potential would govern. If the situation was reversed, with a 22 Life Path and a 3 Soul Urge, the emphasis would, of course, shift to the 22 potential.

In numerology terms, the relative power is expressed in relation to the position of the number. A number is most powerful in the Life Path position, less powerful in the Expression position, and weaker yet in the Soul Urge position. The position of the number, therefore, determines how strong an influence it represents in the core. The relative power is expressed in a core . delineation by devoting an amount of writing (or speaking) to each element proportional to the power of that element.
