Numerology
Numerology (also known as arithmancy) is the belief in an occult, divine or mystical relationship between a number and one or more coinciding events. It is also the study of the numerical value, via an alphanumeric system, of the letters in words and names.
Numerology can tell what makes some people succeed over others on the same task. It reveals your traits and helps you make the correct decision about relationships, health, education, marriage, love, finance etc.
How do I find my numerology number?
Let’s say your birthday is August 18, 1989. To calculate your Life Path Number, you will reduce each component of this date to a single digit:
The month, 8, remains a single digit = 8.
The date, 18, is reduced to 1 + 8 = 9.
The year, 1989, is reduced to 1 + 9 + 8 + 9. This equals 27. Then, 27 is reduced to 2 + 7 = 9.
Then, we add the reduced month, date, and year numbers (8 + 9 + 9) and arrive at 26. Finally, we add 2 + 6, and reach 8. If you were born on August 18, 1989, your Life Path Number is 8 (and you and I also share a birthday!).
What are Master Numbers in Numerology?
You can also use numerology to derive the root number of names or words — this is where our ancient buddy Pythagoras offers some guidance. According to his theories, certain letters have specific numerical values, which are as follows:
1 = A, J, S
4 = D, M, V
7 = G, P, Y
2 = B, K, T
5 = E, N, W
8 = H, Q, Z
3 = C, L, U
6 = F, O, X
9 = I, R
Using this technique, it’s easy to find the root number associated with names, which numerologists refer to as your Destiny Number. To find your Destiny Number, calculate the root number of your full name (first, middle, last) by reducing each name to a single digit, and adding up the total.
For example, my full name reveals my Destiny Number: ALIZA (1 + 3 + 9 + 8 + 1 = 22, which becomes 2 + 2 = 4) KELLY (2 + 5 + 3 + 3 + 7 = 20, which becomes 2 + 0 = 2), resulting in a Destiny Number of 6 (because 4 + 2 = 7).
