Beginner’s Guide to Numerology

Uncover hidden insights about yourself and others with this beginner’s guide to numerology. Learn about your core numbers and soul’s purpose, decode relationships with family and friends, and discover how to tap into intuition by understanding vibrations.

Numerology is an ancient system that purports to divine occult wisdom about people through simple math – a practice that most practitioners say works because of the inherent vibrations of numbers. The number nine, for example, has a certain energy that can influence decisions a person makes in their life. The system also correlates letters and words to numbers through a process known as gematria, which is used by Jews for the study of the Old Testament and other religious texts.

People with a life path number of 1 are creative and individualistic. They are very ambitious and have a sense of urgency that drives them to be successful in all their endeavors. Their secret fear of failure motivates them to keep moving forward with whatever they are doing, even if it is not always the best option.

Practicing numerology can be fun and helpful, especially for those who are naturally curious about the world around them. Learning how to build your own chart using a calculator (there are plenty of free online calculators, but never use one that requires a credit card or social security number as these are often scams) is an excellent way to become proficient in the subject. You can also practice by watching videos of experts reading other people’s charts and making predictions, then compare your interpretation to theirs.
