How Numerology Can Help You Understand Your Past, Present, and Future

Do you ever notice how certain numbers seem to pop up for you over and over again? Maybe the number four always seems to show up when you are feeling lucky or the number 11 is always popping up in your life. Numerology is the study of how numbers represent a unique vibration in your world and can help shed light on your past, present, and future.

While the Pythagoreans are considered to have invented numerology, there is evidence of people linking math and mysticism long before them. The ancient Hebrews used a process known as Gematria to correlate letters of the alphabet with their numerical values and the ancient Greeks used a similar technique called Isopsephy. These methods allow for a deeper understanding of the meaning of a word or name and can also be used to work out a person’s life path number, expression number, soul urge number, and karmic debt number.

Each number holds a specific vibration that can reflect both positive and negative traits. For example, the number 1 represents independence and leadership. The number 2 reflects balance, partnership and yin energy while the number 3 represents sincerity and compassion. The number 4 is practical and lacks imagination while the number 5 demonstrates enthusiasm and creativity. The number 6 represents love and compassion while the number 7 is a seeker and often seeks to understand the hidden meaning behind things.

The number 22 is a master number and a powerful amplification of the numbers 2 and 4. People with this final number in their numerology chart tend to be visionaries who are selfless in their approach to helping others. This can cause them to neglect their own health which may lead to stress.
