Learn more about numerology — the 4,000-year-old practice that claims to reveal your Life Path number, what your strengths and challenges are, and how you’ll “mesh” with other people based on their numbers.
Numbers have long held symbolic meaning for many cultures and religions. For example, the number 7 is considered to be lucky in biblical numerology and Jewish Kabbalah; the number 6 is linked to compassion in astrology; and the number 33 has a powerful spiritual energy for those who align with it. While some consider numerology to be a pseudoscience, others claim that it provides useful insights for your future.
The most basic type of numerology is calculating your Life Path number, which is also known as the destiny or life purpose number. It’s calculated by analyzing your full date of birth, including the day and year.
This is the foundational number that gives you a sense of what you’re here to accomplish on earth and the kinds of challenges you may face along the way. It’s a bit like your sun sign in astrology.
Other numbers that are important in numerology include your Expression Number (also called the Destiny or Name Number), which reveals your personality and the ways you might succeed, and your Karmic Number, which tells you about your hopes, dreams, secret fears, and how other people perceive you. Some numerologists use the first, middle, and last letters in your name to discover the number; other numerologists reduce your initials and surname to a single digit (remember to count the Y in Kelly or Yvette as a consonant; it won’t show up in your final result). Still others only take into account the numbers that sound like vowels, which can be confusing.
