What is Numerology?

If you’re a fan of the stars, your horoscope or just love numbers, numerology might be a great way for you to gain insight into your purpose and soul’s journey on this planet. This mystical study of numbers is often associated with the Greek philosopher Pythagoras who believed that all things are aligned through non-physical forces best articulated by numbers.

Essentially, numerology is all about decoding the energy vibrations of a person’s numbers. It’s most commonly used to determine a person’s life path, expression number, soul urge number and karmic debt number. When all of these numbers are interpreted, it provides an entire picture of what a person is here to experience in this lifetime.

To calculate a person’s life path number, numerologists look at their birth date and then convert it into one single number. This number represents a person’s vibe, what they are here to learn and what their challenges might be in this life. It’s also a helpful tool to discover what career they may be most suited for.

People can even use numerology to understand the dynamics of their relationships. By decoding a loved one’s chart, numerology can help you better understand their strengths and weaknesses in a relationship as well as how they will mesh together (or not). Other numbers that are calculated within a person’s chart include the pinnacle number, birth force number and challenge number. There are also numerology tools like number sequences and repeating patterns that can provide guidance for one’s journey in this life.
