The Mystical Power of Numbers

numerology

Numerology is an ancient practice that claims numbers have mystical meaning and influence your life. It combines the study of numbers and letters, like the alphabet, with an interpretation of the symbols and patterns in the universe and within your own existence. Numbers are said to illuminate aspects of your personality, and can reveal the challenges you’ll face as well as what you have the potential to accomplish.

While skeptics believe that numerology is just pseudoscience, there are plenty of people who find its predictions helpful on a spiritual or emotional level. In addition to the three numbers derived from your birth date, numerology also uses the letters in your full name. By assigning a number to each letter and adding them together, you can calculate your Life Path Number, Soul Urge Number, and Personality Number.

Every number is ruled by a planet, and each has a specific set of traits that affect your personality. For example, the number 2 is ruled by the moon, and is associated with feelings of nostalgia, romance, and intuition. People with the number 22 are said to be peacemakers, and are always looking for ways to help others.

There are a variety of numerological traditions, each with their own beliefs and interpretations. One such tradition is Chaldean numerology, which was invented by the ancient Babylonians centuries ago. It is similar to the Pythagorean system in that each letter of the alphabet equals a number. You can use your own name to find your name number, and can add or subtract based on the interpretation you choose.
