What is Numerology?

Numerology is the study of the significance of numbers and how they influence various aspects of our lives. Each number has a unique vibration and meaning, and by understanding these vibrations, we can gain insights into our personalities, life paths, and destinies.

Brief History of Numerology

Numerology dates back to ancient civilizations, including the Babylonians, Egyptians, and Greeks. The Greek philosopher Pythagoras is often credited with founding modern numerology, developing theories that connected numbers with cosmic vibrations.

The Basics of Numerology

• Life Path Number: Derived from your birth date, it represents your core purpose and path in life.
• Expression (Destiny) Number: Calculated from your full birth name, it reveals your natural talents and abilities.
• Personality Number: Derived from the consonants in your name, revealing information similar to your ascendant (rising sign) within Astrology. 
• Soul Urge (Heart's Desire) Number: Derived from the vowels in your name, it reflects your inner desires and motivations.
• Birthday Number: Based on the day you were born, it indicates specific talents and traits.

Calculating Your Numbers

1. Life Path Number: Add the digits of your birth date until you get a single digit. For example, for a birth date of July 20, 1985: 7 + 2 + 0 + 1 + 9 + 8 + 5 = 32, 3 + 2 = 5.
2. Expression Number: Convert each letter of your name to a number (A=1, B=2, etc.), sum them, and reduce to a single digit.
3. Personality Number: Sum the values of the consonants in your name and reduce to a single digit.
4. Soul Urge Number: Sum the values of the vowels in your name and reduce to a single digit.
