Numerology can give you a glimpse into how your personality will affect the outcome of your life.
Numerology comes from the Latin word “Numerus” meaning numbers, and the Greek word “Logos” meaning word, thought or expression.
It is the basic study of the hidden messages revealed through numbers of a person, place or thing.
Numerology looks at four basic elements: Birthday, Expression, Life Path and Soul urge.
The birthday is the least important of the four elements. Its only purpose is to derive a number related to the day you were born. This number will give you a glimpse into your personality.
You get the number of the Expression elements by calculating the sum of all the letters in your name. This will give you an in-depth look at the natural abilities you have had since birth.
The life path element is the most important. To calculate it, one should add together the month, day and year he or she was born. This will describe to you major lessons that should be learnt in life. It is the most used element.
In Numerology, it is believed that a person goes through nine life paths. Each life path gets closer to achieving natural goals. There are also the master numbers of 11 and 12, meaning the people who already know their purpose. Few people have these numbers.
The last element is known as the soul urge. It describes a person’s wants, needs and desires. This will also tell you about your beliefs and perspectives. One can determine this number by adding up the number values of all the letters in his or her first name.
To get your numerological number, one can add the day, month and year of birth. Each number needs to be added by itself first. For example, if you were born in December, the month would be 12. You would add the one and the two to get three then move one to day and the year. At the end, add the results together to get a one through nine, or an 11 through 12.
An example of this is as follows:
0+8= 8… month
0+5=5… day
1+9+8+2=20….
2+0= 2… year
8+5+2=15…
1+5= 6
This person’s number would be a 6.
After getting the numerological number, one can start learning things about oneself.
If the number is one, the characteristics are independence, individuality, leadership and high ambition.
If the number is two, the characteristics are cooperation, closeness, sensitivity, harmony and flexibility.
Three means self-expression, joy, enthusiasm, optimism, creativity and being sociable.
Four means being organized, hardworking, practical and earthly.
If the number is five, the characterstics are visionary, excitement, creativity and progressiveness.
If the number is six, they are being responsible, loving, supportive, nurturing and serving.
Seven means being understanding, having depth and being spiritual, while eight means being materialistic, accomplishing and practical.
If the number is nine it means being selfless, humanitarian, showing compassion and being creative.
An 11 is intuitive, idealistic and spiritual, while a 12 has high ideas and is a leader filled of spiritual understanding of material teachings.
These numbers can be used to look up the elements of birthday and life path. There is a letter grid to the right with the letters and what numbers they correlate with.
Certain numbers also go better together than others. When seeing if you are comparable to a loved one, remember to reduce all master number down to a single digit.
