Numerology

Numerology is the study of the meaning of numbers and their relationship with everything that surrounds our environment. It is a science, used by experts in the art of tarot and astrologers, to relate to numbers and give explanations of existential problems.

Experts usually use different techniques to obtain the number associated with one of us and with it you can understand your love situation, how to improve your romantic relationships, your work situation or how you are doing in life.

The history of numerology

Like many ancient philosophies, Egypt and Babylon are where the first written records of numerology are said to be. Other evidence shows that numerology was used thousands of years ago in Rome, China, Greece, and Japan. Modern numerology is normally attributed to Pythagoras, who was a Greek philosopher.

Although it is not known if he invented Numerology, he had some theories behind it, which took the numbers to a completely different level. These theories are now the reason why Pythagoras has the credit of modern numerology.

How does numerology work? Basics

The operation of numerology is quite complicated and generally requires a master in numerology to provide detailed and accurate readings. Although you can easily find your life path number and things like your expression, personality, and soul impulse numbers using basic calculations, it is the way these numbers work together that must be interpreted correctly.

The idea behind numerology is that the cosmos and your life are affected by your date of birth, birth name, and many other factors that surround an individual. In this way, there are great depths that a numerology forecast can provide. Consequently, it can often provide surprising insights about someone.

It is believed that there are no coincidences in the Universe that your name and date of birth affect the trip you will take and your characteristics, in the same way, because of this, some people look at horoscopes or astrology to interpret signs or destinations.

What a numerology reading entails

A numerology reading involves many calculations. These calculations can go many layers deep with different numbers and combinations of numbers that have various meanings. Even a basic reading based on your leading numbers can be quite revealing.

Your expression number

Also known as your destiny number, an expression number is said to delve into your personal abilities, desires, and goals. It could also make you aware of any inherent traits you may carry.

Your expression number is calculated by converting your full birth name (including any middle names) into numbers using the Pythagorean table. This type of chart maps a letter to a single digit number. The total sum is then broken down into a single digit number. Again, the master numbers are applied to your destination number and are not reduced further.

Your soul number

Your soul impulse number is often referred to as the heart desire number in numerology. This can symbolize a reflection of your inner or true self. The most interesting thing about the soul impulse number is that it often reveals truths in people that they only recognize once a reading is completed.

For example, the number of desires in your heart may show that you really long for power. Or, that you are much deeper and require a higher level of satisfaction. Alternatively, you may have a need to feel valued or cared for. All of these qualities can often sit just below the surface, and on reveal, they can be quite illuminating. Even changing the entire direction of a person's life to find true happiness.

Your personality number

Your personality number in numerology is calculated using only the consonants in your full name. This is followed by the same process of assigning a number to each letter before adding and breaking them down to get a single digit number or master number. The personality number is literally your side that you allow people to see. In turn, this shows how others see you. What is true for most people is that we hide our true selves and therefore live under one person. Sometimes this is done with great consideration.

Your birthday number in numerology

Last but not least, your birthday number holds the key to you and your destiny. This number is completely based on the exact day you were born. Combined with your life path number and other core numbers, this can reveal your gifts, talents, and even your entire life purpose.

Based on your birthday with the month, your birthday number will tell you about specific talents and potentially where they fit in your universe to give yourself true purpose.
