When the clock strikes 11:11, do you ever find yourself staring at it? Do you ever notice how many individuals share your birthday? If you’ve ever wondered why you keep seeing your lucky number in the unlikeliest of locations, this should help. Numerology is a strong and holy system of numbers that dates back thousands of years. Numerology basics like Life Path Numbers and Destiny Numbers may be computed with ease using that method. The concepts of numerology provide my job as a professional astrologer an extra layer of depth. Calculating numerology is a fantastic supplement to mysticism, which I use often in my work with clients and in my horoscope writing.
Teachings of numerology may provide insight into personality, future events, and even the larger purpose of life, much as your astrological birth chart includes strong metaphysical knowledge – the planets and zodiac signs are tied to certain traits.
Ophi Edut of the AstroTwins spoke to Allure about the parallels between astrology and numerology. “When combined with astrology, numerology makes for a powerful tool. It adds subtlety to the sign, making it easier to read, “Ophi elaborates, noting that knowing your life path number sheds light on not just your mode of expression but also the channels through which your inner energy flows. Here’s an example: “In numerology, the numbers represent the aeons your spirit has been alive. When your Life Path is 8, you’re a Leo sun, so you know that your Leo personality is being shaped more by your own experiences than by your surroundings.”
Repeated numerals may sometimes be puzzling, but numerology is a terrific tool for deciphering them. Numbers in things like a person’s address may be used in numerology to learn more about them, as Ophi explains. “Patterns appear to you in the strangest places,”
Numerological patterns of synchronicity and recurrence have been documented throughout many centuries. Numerology in the Chaldean tradition derives from pre-Islamic Babylonian rituals, whereas in Jewish mystical studies (Kabbalistic studies), numbers that appear often in the Old Testament are examined. It is widely held among occultists that the repeated presence of the number 11:11 is related to the tetragrammaton, the unpronounceable four-letter word for the God of Israel.
Numerology is a wonderful complement to astrology since it adds subtlety and helps make sense of the sign.
Numerology as it is often used today stems from Pythagoras, an ancient Greek philosopher. Aside from his mathematical prowess, Pythagoras was also interested in other areas of mathematics. He established a system that matched letters with integers because he thought the material universe was a conglomeration of the energy vibrations of numbers. The concept that everything is in harmony through non-physical forces best described via numbers motivated this practise.
Okay, I get it. Intimidating for some, math may be a necessary evil. As a matter of fact, many people are put off by numerology since doing math isn’t everyone’s idea of a good time. But I have good news: you may experience the enchantment of numerology without being a math whiz. With only a pencil, paper, and some very basic math, we may begin to understand the hidden magic of numbers (or the nearest calculator).
To determine your Life Path Number in Numerology, how do you?
Understanding your own personal date of birth is the first step in beginning to engage with numerology. Discovering the foundational digit is the goal of numerology. To achieve this, you just drop the leading zeroes until you’re left with a single-digit number, with the exception of 11 and 22, which are known as Master Numbers (more on this later). Your unique Life Path Number is represented by this one number.
Your Life Path Number, like your Sun Sign in astrology, provides insight into who you are and what you’re capable of. Your Life Path Number reveals the overarching flavour of your life and the underlying causes of past, current, and future occurrences. Put another way, it provides a framework for making sense of your life’s events.
Suppose your date of birth is August 18th, 1989. Each part of this date will be converted to a single number in order to get your Life Path Number.
August is still a single-digit month.
The number 9 is the result of adding one to eight, which brings us to the day of August 18th.
One may write out the year 1989 as 1 + 9 + 8 + 9. So, the sum is 27. The sum of these two numbers, 27, is then lowered to 9.
The sum of the shortened month, date, and year digits equates to 26. In the end, 2 plus 6 equals 8. Your Life Path Number is 8 and you share my birthdate if you were born on August 18th, 1989.
Seeing it all laid out like this probably makes it appear a lot less scary than it really is. Right!
In Numerology, what are Master Numbers?
In the cases when you get 11 or 22, you would not subtract those digits from the final tally, as described above. These are Master Numbers, which are just magnified forms of their base digits (2 and 4, respectively). Numerology’s Master Numbers point to a potent vibrational energy connected to education, accomplishment, and success, but maybe in a more challenging or high-stakes setting.
Sir Paul McCartney, perhaps the most well-known Briton of the Gemini sign, was born on June 18th, 1942. Date reduction yields the total of 22 when month = 6, day = 9, and year = 7. Instead of rounding this up to a single digit (producing 4), the number 22 indicates the Master Number — the most powerful iteration of 4. This highlights McCartney’s compelling “life goal.”
When using Numerology, how do you determine your “Destiny Number?”
The ancient Greek mathematician Pythagoras explains how to utilise numerology to determine the initial numerical value of a word or name. His theories assign the following numerical values to individual letters:
1 = A, J, S
2 = B, K, T
3 = C, L, U
4 = D, M, V
5 = E, N, W
6 = F, O, X
7 = G, P, Y
8 = H, Q, Z
9 = I, R
Numerologists use this method to quickly determine your Destiny Number, which is the numerical root of your name. Your Destiny Number may be found by taking the sum of the single-digit roots of your whole name (first, middle, and last).
For instance, my Destiny Number, 4, may be deduced from the sum of the first letters of my whole name, ALIZA (1 + 3 + 9 + 8 + 1 = 22). Destiny Number 6 (because 4 + 2 = 7) for the name KELLY (2 + 5 + 3 + 3 + 7 = 20, which becomes 2 + 0 = 2).
In contrast to your Life Path, which exposes your overarching purpose, your Destiny Number provides insight into the specific means by which that purpose will be realised in your life. To that end, my Destiny Number 6 attributes—nurturing, healing, and empathy—will serve as an outlet for my Life Path 8 objective of cultivating abundance. That makes a lot of sense.
What are the most potent numbers in Numerology?
Your Life Path Number and Destiny Number have been computed; now you may learn their significance. Take a look at it more closely with me!
Priority One (10/1, 19/1)
Like Aries, the first sign of the zodiac, the number 1 in Numerology is associated with movement ahead. The number 1 represents a fearless, self-reliant character with natural authority. One’s anxieties are sometimes masked under a veneer of superiority and boastfulness when 1 is having a poor day. The first of anything must always keep in mind that it might easily become the last of anything. Ones, even the most self-reliant, rely on their social networks for sustenance.
The second one (11/2, 20/2)
Number 2 is associated with empathy, equilibrium, and harmony. According to the principles of numerology, the number 2 vibration acts as a peacemaker by bringing together opposing energies with empathy and understanding. If your Life Path or Destiny Number is 2, you may have heightened psychic talents and emotional sensitivity because of your connection to the Universal Energies and your innate intuitive senses. Being so delicate, 2 avoids arguments at all costs, yet this might leave it feeling unappreciated and ignored. Two should stop looking for approval from others and go within, where they will find the peace and harmony they’ve been searching for all along.
The Third (12/3, 21/3)
The need of open dialogue among the three is critical. Symbolically, the number 3 signifies the culmination of a collaborative effort; it is the heart of creation. Three has a natural talent for communication, and she is able to articulate and spread ground-breaking ideas via her artwork, writing, and public speaking with ease. Your efforts encourage, motivate, and improve the lives of others, and 3 gets a kick out of seeing others around them happy and fulfilled as a result of their labour. However, if 3 is misread, it might result in a complete withdrawal of all social interaction. Peaceful mindfulness is a simple solution for 3’s escapist inclinations; 3’s vivid imagination makes it crucial for them to take time apart for reflection and rejuvenation on a regular basis.
The digit 4 (13, 22, 31)
The energy of a four is grounded and focused on strengthening the foundation. 4 has an unwavering faith in the material world and understands the need of laying a strong foundation upon which to construct an enduring legacy. The energy of the number four is down-to-earth, diligent, and responsible, and it focuses on building rational structures that can accommodate expansion. The firmness 4 has, however, has the potential to become rigidity; the number 4 should keep in mind that regulations are intended to facilitate rather than restrict. As a result of their tendency towards rigidity, number four would do well to practise relaxation and fresh approaches. Taking some calculated chances will give 4 a sense of freedom and inspiration.
Featured at No. 5 (14,5,32)
The definition of a 5 is freedom; 5s are independent thinkers, risk takers, and forward-looking progressives. 5 must use all of its senses to take in the environment around it: Kids learn valuable lessons about life through their own acts of courage. The energy of the number 5 is similar to that of the astrological sign Sagittarius in that it is spontaneous, adventurous, and full of life. The other side of 5’s distinctive zest for life is that it may have a hard time sitting still and waiting. Since 5 is always curious, it has a hard time settling down and embracing the mundane tasks and interpersonal obligations that make up daily life. Five has to keep in mind that by focusing its attention inside, it will find that research close to home may be among the most fruitful.
Sixteen (15, 24, 33)
The number 6 has a reputation for being kind and compassionate. The number 6 is a great healer since it can assist with both mental and physical ailments, and it does it in a plain and kind manner. The number 6 has a strong feeling of duty and is devoted to its loved ones. This is an empathetic and nurturing number, thus it has no trouble striking up conversations with kids or pets. However, the protecting energy of a 6 may become overbearing and overpowering if not properly channelled. To avoid taking on the weight of the world, number 6 has to cultivate empathy and compassion for others around them.
The Seventeenth (16/7, 25/7, 34/7)
Number 7 is well recognised as possessing exceptional analytical and detective capabilities, earning it the nickname “detective” in numerology. According to numerology, the number 7 represents a synthesis of Virgo and Scorpio energies: The 7 is meticulous in their attention to detail, yet they are motivated more by their intuition than by external evidence. 7 is perceptive, and its rapid, creative mind is fueled by its insightful insights. The number 7 is a bit of a perfectionist since it can pinpoint problems in almost any setup very fast. In order to balance out the cynicism that comes naturally to a 7, it is essential that a 7 have an open mind. Nothing in life is guaranteed to work perfectly, but that’s part of the excitement.
It’s the number eight (17/8, 26/8, 35/8).
Number 8 symbolises plenty and prosperity. According to numerology, this number represents prosperity and monetary success. Intuitively drawn to positions of authority because to its drive and determination, number 8 thrives in such situations. 8 thinks broadly to increase its impact, and it quickly ascends to the highest rungs of whatever ladder it encounters. But the burden of duty that comes with being so powerful is heavy: The number eight tends to produce workaholics who, on a bad day, may become overbearing and possessive. But if you give back to the community, you may mitigate its negative effects. 8 learns the true value of his fortune when he puts it to use for the benefit of others and the common good.
The digit 9 (18, 27, 36)
The number 9 is the last single-digit number in numerology, and it represents an elderly spirit. Nine has experienced the highs and lows of human existence and can speak authoritatively on the subject. This means that a person with a synthesis score of 9 may easily integrate disparate pieces of information into a unified whole, using just their psychic abilities. Nine’s goal in life is to acquire enlightenment and to assist others in doing the same. Nine isn’t scared to change forms, and its adaptable nature encourages others to test their own limits. Since 9 has gone beyond the material world, it must continuously remind itself of its roots. 9 has to figure out how to reconcile the intangible with the concrete, where imagination and reality meet.
Copy 11 (11/2)
The Master Number 11 amplifies the vitality of the Number 2, and its mission is to promote physical and emotional wellness via heightened psychic powers. Master Number 11 often develops their intuitive abilities because they are forced to do so by difficult personal situations. Master Number 11 is associated with wisdom, insight, and inner peace, according to numerology.
The 22nd and Final Master (22/4)
The vibrations of Number 4 are amplified by Master Number 22, also known as the Master Builder. Master Number 22 finds his motivation to leave an enduring legacy in the form of physical platforms by combining the worlds of the tangible and the ethereal. Instability in early life has been shown to be a catalyst for creative thinking, which explains Master Number 22’s abilities. Master Number 22 is a hard worker who never stops trying to improve.
