If you’ve ever noticed numbers popping up in your life — like seeing 11:11, or buying a house on the 11th of the 11th month — it might be more than just a coincidence. According to numerology, those numbers hold a hidden message from the universe that can help you on your journey. This 4,000-year-old practice is the science of numbers and can reveal your life path number, personality traits, and how to best navigate the world around you.
While there are different methods of calculation in numerology, most use the same underlying logic: that the universe is a system with a language of numbers. A numerologist determines the total of a person’s name and birth date, then analyzes the numbers to find their meaning.
The most common form of numerology comes from the ancient Greek philosopher Pythagoras, who believed that numbers had special properties and a mystical connection to the universe. The numbers one through nine have specific properties that influence a person’s behavior and character.
For example, a person born with a number two might be described as a people-pleaser and someone who craves security and family duty. While this might not be true of everyone with a number two, they are usually very giving people who want to make others happy, Woodward says.
A person born with a number five might be considered the “sensuous freedom seeker.” These people want to experience all that life has to offer, and often have trouble sitting still. While this is a positive trait, sometimes they can be impulsive and take risks without thinking about the consequences, Bender says.
