What is Karmic Debt? And how to calculate yours!

I’m sure you’ve heard of karma, but have you heard of karmic debt? Karmic debt refers to the recurring lessons in your life that are being repeated (both in this life and past ones) because they weren’t completed. They will continue to appear until they are. Karmic debt numbers are the number of lessons you must learn, or the number of issues you are meant to overcome in this life. They are derived by finding your numerology profile. Think of it this way, have you ever heard someone say “Why does this always happen to me? What did I do to deserve this?”, well that’s actually your karma coming around trying to get you to finally resolve these life theme issues. Karmic debt is the patterns in your life that are being repeated and they are typically bad patterns or unresolved issues in your life. For example, you could be constantly struggling with money, sabotaging your relationships, or avoiding responsibilities in your life.

Karma is a Sanskrit term that means "action" or "deed." It is the balance of good and bad actions performed in past lives. Karma exists to ensure that you complete your life's tasks, which may include career success or personal growth. Jainism teaches that karma acts as an invisible thread, connecting one lifetime to the next through unavoidable life lessons. We've all got karmic debt to work through, some more than others but this doesn't mean anyone is better or worse. Karmic debt focuses on the individual, don't look at your karmic debt as a life sentence but as a guide on what to overcome and focus on. We can find our karmic debt within our birth charts, both in Astrology & Numerology.

Karma is often seen as a cause and effect system, where our good deeds will be rewarded and our bad deeds will be punished. However, it is important to remember that karma is not simply a system of punishment and reward. It is also a means of spiritual growth and evolution. In order to complete our life's tasks, we must experience both the good and the bad. To fully understand something in life, we must experience it not just agree or come to terms with it. There are many ways to reduce our karmic debt, including meditation, service to others, and self-reflection. By reducing our debt, we can make progress on our spiritual journey and become better people. We can also learn from our past mistakes and avoid repeating them in the future by breaking that cycle.
