Numerology: How it Works

Numerology is the study of numbers. You're born on a certain date; you die on a certain date. You live a certain number of days. Numerology is a system that calculates the karmic direction of your life. It examines why you are born and why you die on a particular date and explains everything in between.

The origins of Numerology are lost somewhere within history. Some attribute it to being created by Pythagoras, the Greek mathematician, (569-470 B.C). Einstein thought that God was the original mathematician, saying famously that God doesn't play dice with the world -- everything is explainable by numbers.

Certain numbers possess special prominence in the physical world. For example, mathematical constants, like the number pi. Numerology determines those numbers that are important for you. Numbers are linked to your karmic path. Your life path number is the most important number. It describes life patterns, shows karmic impulses and reveals you to yourself.

Throughout our lives, various numbers are celebrated, highlighted and remembered. Your birthday, marriage date, all of these numbers influence you, in different ways. The world is set up and controlled by numbers, and so are you. Numbers govern your life, based on the pattern of the numbers in your life.

Numerology places importance on the numbers, from 1 to 9, and the numbers, 11 and 22. The last two numbers are referred to as master numbers. Numerology charts are constructed from numbers obtained from your birthdate and birthname.

The numbers are reduced down to one of these base numbers. Your life path number is obtained from your birthdate. Other important numbers are your expression number, soul urge number and destiny number, obtained from using the letters in your name.
