In numerology, composite or multi-digit numbers are evaluated for meaning in several different ways. The most common way to evaluate a composite number is to reduce it to an underlying root number and interpret the multi-digit number in light of the root number’s vibrational essence.
Another way to evaluate a number that has two or more digits is to view it as a combination of the digits that make up the number. Either way, evaluating the meaning of a composite number like 14 can help you better understand what the Universe is trying to communicate to you when it shows up in your life.
The numerological meaning of 14
Most numerologists believe that the number 14 indicates a time of change or transformation. It can show up in a number of different ways that may not even be detected right away.

When that energy is released in a compound number, it is diluted or weakened to some degree. This weakening is usually the result of being confused by other energies that weaken or modify it.
The energies of the number 14
In the case of the 14, the sensual energies are weakened by the influence of the numbers 1 and 4 which are also exerted when it appears. There is a general affinity between the energies of the 1 and 4 which gives the 14 a harmonious aspect.
While the numbers 1 and 4 are associated with the Sun and the Earth respectively, the number 5, which is the root of 14, is associated with the planet Mars and the astrological sign of Aries. When these energies combine, the result can be unpredictable.
