Have you ever noticed how certain numbers seem to pop up in your life a lot? Maybe the number four keeps showing up in your lucky finds, or you keep seeing repeating ones on signs and in people’s names. These patterns, according to numerology, have spiritual significance that can reveal your personality, character traits and future.
The ancient practice of numerology claims that every person, place, event and object has a unique vibration based on the number it holds. It’s based on the idea that numbers have hidden meaning and can be understood through a process called “gematria,” which involves translating letters into their numerical equivalents. The Pythagoreans developed this system, and later cultures used it to divine the future or predict human behavior, says Josh Siegel, author of The Power of Numbers.
In modern numerology, practitioners use a simple formula to find your life path number: Start with the total of your birthdate and reduce it to its single digit. For example, if you were born Feb. 14, 1990, the total is 2 + 14 = 16. Once you have your number, subtract it from 44 (or any other multiple of 11) to get your core number, which is your personality type and life lesson.
For instance, a person with a life path number of 12 is energetic and playful, and their main lesson is to avoid gossip and drama. Buchanan describes these folks as “communicators.” Life path threes, on the other hand, have a strong connection to their emotions and often show empathy for others. They’re also imaginative, and Buchanan notes that these people can create their own luck through creative activities such as writing, acting, debating and speech-making.
