Numerology: The Meaning of the Numbers

Numerology and What The Numbers Mean

Welcome!

It's true! Anyone can be a numerologist–including you! Unlike astrology which requires extensive study, the basics of numerology are fairly easy to grasp. To make it even easier for you, we have prepared the number table you see below. This explains in more the detail the general meanings of the various numbers. We think this will be especially helpful as you begin to work some of the calculations on our other pages.

Numerology is easier than you think!

Our goal is to demystify numerology and give you enough information to "do-it-yourself." Anyone can manage a few numerology calculations. The more difficult part is knowing how to interpret those numbers. For example, say you have done your Birthpath Calculation by adding together your month, day, and year of birth. Let's just say that your Birthpath is "9." Looking at the table below, what does this 9 tell you about your Birthpath--your natural tendencies, abilities, and attitudes toward the world?

By the way, do not think that we are limiting most of you to a career path involving small business. We have merely used that repeated example under "practical expression" to show you how the various numbers might respond to a certain theme. As you begin to flesh out your own numerology calculations, you will likewise see recognizable themes begin to emerge. We hope the snapshot analysis above helps you to feel more comfortable in performing numerology interpretations for yourself of your friends. Numerology really is easy. It's simply a matter of getting a feel for the numbers!

Helpful Hints For Numerology Interpretation

Tip One: Stick with the basic numbers (1 through 9; plus 11 and 22). Yes, there are other so-called "master numbers" or "karmic numbers" that some people swear by. But oftentimes these exotic numbers are more confusing than they are enlightening. And many numerologists don't bother with them.

Tip Two: Stick with the basic calculations. Almost all numerologists perform certain calculations. These include the sum of your birth date numbers; the sum of the letters in your birth name; the sum of the vowels in your name; the sum of the consonants, etc. Try to get a feel for these basic calculations and what they convey.

Tip Three: Don't be intimidated by fancy-sounding terminology. Although most numerologists perform the same basic calculations, there are no limits to the names people come up with for these calculations. If we call it your "Birthpath Number" and someone else calls it "XYZ Number"--it really doesn't matter.

Tip Four: Draw on your common sense, your experience, and your intuition. After a while some of the numbers might remind you of people you know. Or you may get an intuitive flash because a person's "5" seems to jump out at you. Well, go with these impressions.

And remember--numerology should be fun! So have fun learning it!
