Numbers are the Universal language offered by the deity to humans as confirmation of the truth.

~ St Augustine of Hippo

Numerology is an ancient, yet modern significant system for self-development and growth. Like astrology, the study of the stars, planets & celestial bodies in the sky; numerology takes into account important alignments at the time of your birth. Your life path number , for example, the main aspect of numerology, is determined from your birth date. One can use numerology to utilize the wisdom and the insights and messages for healing and self-discovery. To heal is to achieve wholeness, and this is exactly what numerology does. Those who understand how powerful numerology is equally recognize that their passions, desires, likes, dislikes, strengths, weaknesses, beliefs, inner working and subconscious influences, fears, worries, and everything that shapes their chosen directions in life, can be discovered.

Numerology is a holistic, somewhat spiritual and interconnected system. It is often seen as esoteric due to its connection to divination (the divinatory arts), mysticism, spirituality and even astrology. We live in a multi-dimensional world with extrasensory perception and sight, and the human experience is subjective. Becoming aware of the power and meaning of numbers, therefore, can open doorways to self-evolution. Numerology is a very grounded, balancing and aligning/harmonizing (to the Higher Self & Mind) system and approach to learning about yourself.

Numerology can be utilized to change your life for the better. Some people use it for self and personal development, whereas others use it for love and intimate or romantic relationships. Numerology can be used to attract love on a real, sincere and authentic level; to find the one or your ideal partner, lover and soulmate. The ancient system of Numerology is essentially a belief in the divine or mystical relationship between numbers and coinciding events, feelings and areas or themes of self-development. In addition to it being the synchronicity(s) of a divine and interconnected universe, it is also the application and active engagement in it. Once you start to realize that the stars, planets and cosmic energies influence us, you will also begin to recognize the patterns in your life relating to love, kindred spirits, and soulmate friendships and bonds.

For this reason alone, numerology is understood on the principle of synchronicity . Nothing in the universe is random; everything has a design and unified aspect. This doesn t take away from personal choice and power or leave everything to fate. It does, however, allow for the realization that numbers are here to teach us about ourselves. We are always being given clues and signals for growth and self-evolution!

We are always being given clues and signals for growth and self-evolution.

So, numerology asks us to show up for ourselves. It suggests that we take control over our lives. Instead of floating or drifting through life as a passenger, we should become mindful and conscious- aware and in tune- with the natural forces & energies in play. Where we may have once been unaware and oblivious, almost with a shield and polluted third eye, we recognize the signs, symbols and synchronicity being made aware.

Why mention the third eye here? Well, the third eye (chakra/energy portal) is the seat of vision. It relates to the higher self, the higher mind, and to our ability to perceive subtle and spiritual energy. It also connects us to our subconscious mind - the place where universal archetypes & symbols are rich. Mother Earth is a living and conscious entity. The cosmos and the universe are also interconnected and conscious; consciousness is infinite and eternal; it spills out to the farthest galaxy and within to the tiniest atom. It is within and without and as above so below simultaneously. Being attuned to the recurring numbers in your life greatly assists in understanding, acknowledging and integrating key themes showing up. The effects can be so powerful and profound.

The universe is always sending us signs and messages for those with eyes to see, ears to hear, hearts to feel and intuition to sense, so why not go a step further and learn numerology?

To study numerology is to study the numerical value in letters, words, names, ideas and concepts. This essentially means at birth, your soul; the eternal and non-physical part of you- is given a name. This name has an energetic and symbolic meaning . Numerology is a slight form of divination, which means that numerologists (and those who believe in numerology) are aware of the signs and destiny of the physical universe. This essentially means that everything is destined; pre-determined with a natural flow of events & experiences. Everything, life, ourselves and the universe have natural cycles .

There are multiple branches or types of numerology. The main system most people know, and which is further explored in this book; is Pythagorean numerology. It s good to be aware of the other systems (types), however. Let s look at these quickly.

Chinese numerology

This is becoming more popular; however, it has always been around (since ancient China). Chinese numerology is largely associated around the concept of luck. The Chinese have always been big believers in the power of luck, and this is strongly tied into the recognition of natural universal cycles. Synchronicities and series of events determine how much luck one is to have, and at what times. Chinese numerology assigns meanings (energetic associations) to the numbers. Certain number combinations are luckier than others! This is the basis of this system of numerology. It s interesting to note that Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has specific uses & meanings of numbers. In acupuncture, acupressure, and meridian psychotherapy the human body is given numerical values, and these correspond to the natural universal cycles.

There are 12 vessels circulating the body, just as there are 12 months in a year and 12 Zodiac signs (astrology). More specifically and unique to Chinese philosophy, 12 is used to portray the 12 rivers flowing towards the Central Kingdom. Secondly, they refer to there being 365 parts of the body, one to each day of the year. (This is how they locate acupoints.)

Alphabetic systems

There are various systems that assign numerical values to the letters of the alphabet. These include: Abjad numerals in Arabic, Hebrew numerals, Greek numerals, and Armenian numerals. These are the most well-known! Gematria is another one; this is a Jewish approach of putting mystical meanings to specific words based on their numerical values.

Also, there are a number of Latin alphabet systems. Pythagorean numerology is the main one within the Latin bracket, however there s also Chaldean, Hebraic, Phonetic, Japanese, Arabic and Indian.

Pythagorean system

Pythagoras lived from 569- 470 B.C. He was a Greek philosopher and mathematician and is known as the father of Western numerology. Pythagoras discovered that the vibrations in stringed instruments could be given numerical values and therefore explained in terms of maths & numbers. Thus, there was a natural synergy and relationship between numbers and musical notes. This system takes into account both full name and date of birth. Your full name is split into a number of different types; which now in the modern day we recognize as Soul Urge, Expression/Destiny, and Personality, in addition to the main Life Path. Generally speaking, the name to use is one s full name on your birth certificate.
