NUMEROLOGY



        

     We are constantly surrounded by numbers, even if like me you are not a big fan of them. Your address, your ID number, your cellphone number, your birthday,prices on stores, etc. Actually the place where you are right now it's a specific number coordinate. Maybe you´ve never heard about numerology, maybe you have a general idea of what it is or maybe you´re very interested in it. Whatever is your case in this post I will clarify any qualms you have about it. I will begin with the history of numerology, how it works , what it's your “ Life path number”, your “ Expression number” , your “ Soul Urge number” your “ Personality number” and . Finally I will tell you some fun facts about numerology.



Numerology is an ancient science, some of the first traces of it date back to ancient Egypt, Babylon, China, Rome. It believes that your birth date, birth name influence your life and the cosmos , and there is a mystical relation between numbers , those and other events.  However the pioneer and father of numerology is Pythagoras. He is known for being a remarkable mathematician and a brilliant philosopher. His fascination for numbers led him to study Chaldean numerology for 22 years . The wise greek thought everything that surround us  could be translated to numbers.  “ Number is the within of all things” , quoting Pythagoras.  He created the  “ Pythagorean number system” which assigns numbers to the letters.




In many cultures numbers have meanings, in China the number 4 brings bad luck. In Christian  religion , even if the church resist to this “ magical” science there a lot of relations between numbers and important events 666 refers to the beast or the Devil and 888 is said to represent Jesus. Also 3 and 7 have strong meanings in the Bible. God created the word in 7 days, Jesus was crucified at 3´o'clock, etc.



There are three major forms of Numerology : Kabbalic, Chaldean and the Pythagorean. 


Kabbalic numerology is more used for interpreter names. In the 13th century Kabbalist thought the Old Testament was written in a numeric encrypted code. 


Chaldean numerology is closer to astrology and has his origins in Mesopotamia. This form of numerology believes that each letter has their own vibration and is assigned a number from 1 to 8  based on their energetic quality ( 9 is a sacred number) . Single digits reveal the outer nature of a person and double digits their inner qualities.


Pythagorean numerology, the most famous, design a number to each letter based on their position on the sequence ( as we can see in the picture above). This kind of numerology uses birth date and birth name , and they assign numbers from 1 to 9 . The sacred numbers are 11,22 and 33. 







How does Numerology work ? Well here we are going to analyze Pythagorean numerology , because it's more used and more known .  Here I´am going to give  you a basic summary because if you want to really go deep into your Life path number, Inner Numer, Soul Urge number, etc , it's better to go to a numerology reading .



Your life path number, like the name says, it forms the basis of what path your life could take. It also points to your personality  traits, how you are or how you could be and even opportunities, lessons and challenges you could face. It's similar to your zodiac sign . To find out what´s your Life path number you need to add the numbers of your birth date. For example if you were born on 19 April 1974 , you will add 1+9+4+1+9+7+4= 35. Then you add the two lasting numbers : 3+5= 8 . So your life path number is 8 in this case. You should keep adding  the numbers together until you have a single number digit.  For instance if you add all the figures from your birth date and you end up with 1+9= 10, you should add 1+0= 1 . It's important to point out that the first result of your addition ,  ( in the first example was 35) it's the age when you are going to experience a big change or something important will happen in your life. I´m not saying you´re going to win the lottery but maybe it is a new job opportunity that will lead you to your professional success.





The expression number, also called” Destiny number” , is calculated with your full  birth name and displays your skills, strengths and the things that challenge you. We calculate this with the Pythagorean alphabet , and it's important to include your middle names, no matter how many you have , and of course your last name(s) until you finish with one single digit number.  But don´t forget the Master numbers 11,22,33 . If you end up with any of this number don't add them up . Let me show you how to do it. If your name is Richie Hawtin :



R  I  C  H  I  E   H  A  W  T  I  N


9+9+3+8+9+5+8+1+5+2+9+5= 73


7+3= 10


1+0= 1


Your expression number is 1 in this case .









Your Soul Urge number reveals your inner desires, your destiny and your authenticity. It reveals your true self and helps you to find what you really want in your life. Like they say, the most difficult task in life is getting to know yourself. 


To find out what´s your Soul urge number is, you need to add all the vowels of your full name, only the vowels. Why only the vowels? Because the consonants represent your public persona and instead the vowels show your inner self , peculiarities and beliefs. So if we continue with the previous example.


I+I+E+A+I

9+9+5+1+9= 33





Your personality number is quite the opposite to your “ Soul Urge number” because it shows your outer self , the one  you show to others.  It shows you how people see you and maybe you are unaware of some aspects.  You need to calculate the consonants of your full name. So like this:


R+C+H+H+W+T+N=  

9+3+8+8+5+2+5= 40

4+0=4
