What Is Numerology and How Can It Benefit You?

Numerology is an ancient practice that teaches you how to interpret numbers and the meaning behind them. It can provide you with a deeper understanding of yourself, those around you, and the cosmos.

The basis of numerology is the belief that every person has a different core number that affects their personality, relationships, and future potential. While there are online calculators that can give you a basic life path number, the true value of a numerology reading is in its interpretation. This is where a professional numerologist can add so much more insight to your life than simply a calculator or online tool.

To find a person’s life path number, the numerologist will take all of the digits in their date of birth and reduce them down to a single digit. They will repeat this process until they get to the final number (the exception is if it is 11, 22, or 33, which are master numbers).

A similar method can be used to calculate a person’s destiny or expression number by adding up all of the digits in their full name and then reducing them down to a single digit. This process is based on the work of Pythagoras, who was interested in mystical properties of numbers and their correlation to letters and words.

This method can also be used to interpret recurring numbers that pop up in your life such as the number 77 or the recurring number 311. These numbers are often called “angel numbers” and can offer clues to what you are attracting into your life, or what you may need to release.
