Learn the Basics of Numerology

numerology

Numerology is a system that assigns a personality to numbers and then uses these numbers to help explain our past, present and future. It’s a way of understanding our deeper nature and the hidden talents, gifts, and opportunities that are ours to lean into and take advantage of.

The most common type of western numerology is based on Pythagorean numerology, which was developed by the Greek philosopher and mathematician, Pythagoras, and also incorporates the concept of Gematria, which translates letters to numerals. Other types of numerology include Chaldean and Vedic. These numerologies are less commonly used and may be more complex to understand, but are not necessarily less accurate than Pythagorean.

Each number has a vibration that reflects an energetic force or power. When these numbers are combined with a person’s name and birth date, they reveal a more complete picture of their character and their place in the world at large. The core numbers a person possesses tell them how to live their life, the lessons they need to learn and the talents they possess that are available to them.

Anyone can be a numerologist by learning the basic principles of the art. Unlike Astrology, which requires extensive study, the basics of numerology are fairly easy to grasp. Those who want to further their numerology education can study with a professional or join a group for more in-depth discussion and learning about the subject. For example, you might find a numerology class at a local New Age or metaphysical store or at a site like Meetup.
