Fiction Story Characters,
Essence Transit

People experience turning points and highlights, year by year. Fiction characters can experience that, too — if the author wants it to be that way.

The essence number represents energy related to who and what the character knows themself to be. The energy is likely to affect their decisions, how they feel about themself, and their approach to life.

Every year has its own essence number. The current year essence number may be the same as the previous year, or it may be different. If different, the author's fiction character may be more inclined to approach or experience life differently than they did the year before. The essence transit article can be consulted for more details.

Both the fiction character's name and their birth date need to be known to do the essence transit calculations.

Use it to construct your character's essence chart. It can be an invaluable guide and source of inspiration.

The transit number can change yearly, or may remain the same for several years.

When the number changes, the fiction character's life may change. Depending on what transit numbers the shift was from and to, the way they look at life is likely to have a greater or lesser shift.

Let's do an essence transit chart for Daiy Jane Fictive born June 8, 1963 to illustrate how it can be used. This chart spans from the past into the future, a total of 20 years. (To get charts for your fictive character or characters, the essence transit tool can be used to get the essence numbers for any years of the characters' lifetimes.)

Essence transit charts are read birthday to birthday. This chart transits from Daiy's birthday in year 2020, when she becomes 57 years of age, to the day before her 77th birthday in year 2040.

In the chart, the years and age numbers are the periods of influence and the essence number is the number of influence.

In the example chart below, when Daiy turns 57 years old on June 8, 2020, her essence number was 5. The next year, on June 8, 2021, her essence number became the number 3.

That was in her past. The future years can be consulted for a sense of the transit energy that she (or your fictive characters) will experience during that time.

(Essence transit energy interpretations follow this example chart.)

The interpretations apply to the fictive character's approach to life rather than to basic character alterations.

Consider it a temporary (one or a few years) assumption of who and what the character is — the essence of the person the character recognizes as themself. The basic characteristics as presented at fiction characters core name energy do not change unless the character has a name change.

When considering the interpretations as they apply to your fictive character, compare their most recent essence number with their current essence number interpretations. Moving from some numbers to other numbers can be a jarring experience.

Moving from a 4 to a 5, for example, is like moving from a focus on the future to doing things on a whim. From 1 to 2, for another example, is like moving from preferring independence and working alone to preferring relationships and cooperation.

Here are interpretations for the essence numbers.
