What is Numerology?

Numerology is the belief that certain numbers have mystical significance in your life. It is based on the principles of Pythagoras and other ancient philosophers who linked numbers to cosmic energy and believed in the power of number combinations. People often notice patterns in their daily lives, in historical events or in religious texts, and assign meaning to those numbers based on their beliefs about numerology.

The most important number in your numerology chart is your Life Path Number, which outlines the innate skills you were born to use as you make your way through this lifetime. The other important number is your Expression Number, which identifies your innate talents and the gifts you are meant to share with the world.

There are also various other ways to calculate and analyze your number, including the Karmic Cycle Number, Soul Urge Number, Life Lesson Number and Sun Number. While each numerology calculation has its own methodology, they all revolve around the idea that there is a connection between the numbers in your birth date and name and the events that happen in your life.

The best known type of numerology is calculating your Life Path Number, which is the sum of the month, day and year of your birth. From this, you can determine what lessons you are here to learn and the innate skills that you were born with to help you achieve your goals. It can also identify your talents and what you are best at, as well as give you insight into the obstacles and challenges you may face along the way.
