Numerology is the
study of the symbolism of numbers. It is used to determine a person’s
personality, strengths and talents, obstacles to be overcome, inner
needs, emotional reactions and ways of dealing with others. |
A LITTLE HISTORY
The roots of numerology can be traced back some 10,000 years or more to
Egypt and Babylonia. Pythagoras, who developed many of the basic
theorems that form the foundation of modern mathematics (including the
right triangle theorem taught in
math classes today) is credited with formally organizing
the field about 2600 years ago in ancient Greece. At the turn of the
twentieth century, an American woman, L. Dow Balliet, and several of her
contemporaries published a few books and started the modern phase of
numerology. The field grew slowly through several decades. Now, in the
last half of the century, increased research and publishing along with a
marked resurgence of interest in numerology is taking place.
HOW NUMEROLOGY WORKS
Everything in the universe vibrates at its own particular frequency. By
finding the vibration rate of any object, you can establish the
qualities and energies associated with it. By applying the principles of
numerology—and using only the name and birth date as the basic data—you
can determine the major frequencies of different people. A numerological
analysis of the calculated frequencies provides significant information
on these people’s personalities and character
THE BASIC NUMEROLOGY CALCULATION
In the basic mathematical operation used in numerology, the numbers are
reduced by simple addition. The number 15, for instance, is reduced by
adding 1 + 5 to get 6. Similarly, the number 1974 can be reduced by
adding 1 + 9 + 7 + 4 to get 21. The 21
can be further reduced by adding 2 + 1 to get 3.
In numerology, all numbers are reduced to the single digits 1 through 9
except the special master numbers 11 and 22. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,
11 and 22 represent the major vibration rates associated with people’s
characteristics.
Letters in individuals’ names are converted to numbers and then added
together. These numbers, in turn, are also reduced. The letter A, for
instance, is 1; the letter B is 2; the letter C is 3, and so forth. The
following table shows the numbers assigned to all 26 letters in the
English alphabet.

By applying simple mathematical formulas to the numbers representing a
person’s name and birth date, a numerologist can derive four major core
elements and some twenty or thirty modifiers. A symbolic evaluation of
these elements and modifiers provides a remarkably complete and accurate
character analysis. (About half the information in the analysis,
incidentally, comes from the birth date and half from the name.)
THE SYMBOLISM OF NUMBERS
The symbolic analysis of the single digits and master numbers is the
essence of a numerology report or any other numerological character
analysis. Since so many numbers are present and modify each other, the
analysis is, as you might expect, a considerably complex operation. When
you understand the basic symbolism of the numbers outlined below,
though, you’ll have a useful grasp which should make it easier for you
to interpret the various parts of the report.
1: independence, individuality, attainment; leadership, pioneering,
administrating.
2: cooperation, closeness, sensitivity; balance and harmony, supportive.
3: expressing self, joy of living; enthusiasm, optimism, creativity,
sociability.
4: system and order, service, sense of limitation; managing, working
hard, practical, down-to-earth.
5: constructive use of freedom; variety, excitement, progressive,
creative.
6: balance, responsibility, love; supportive, comforting, serving,
helping.
7: analysis, understanding, introspective; search for truth, spiritual
understanding.
8: material satisfaction, accomplishment; desire for success, power,
recognition.
9: selflessness, humanitarianism; giving without thought of return,
compassionate.
11: illumination, nervous tension; spiritual channel and teacher.
22: master builder, latent power, nervous tension; spiritual
understanding of material world, high ideals.
THE SIGNIFICANT PARTS OF A NUMEROLOGY REPORT OF PRIMARY SIGNIFICANCE:
THE CORE AND THE CORE ELEMENTS
The Core is the heart of any numerology analysis involving the
personality portion of the reading. Much of the most important
information in a numerology report is derived from the four elements
making up the Core. These four elements are the Life Path, Expression,
Soul Urge and Birthday.
LIFE PATH
The Life Path is the most important number in the Core—and certainly the
most important number in a numerology report, too. If you could only use
one number to describe a person, that number would, undoubtedly, be the
Life Path.
The Life Path describes the major lessons to be learned in a person’s
life. These lessons often determine the central focus of the life. The
Life Path also clarifies the environment which is most conducive to
learning the lessons involved and describes, as well, some of the major
characteristics likely to be present in the individual’s makeup. Most
people have little trouble relating to their Life Path. Some people,
though, for their own reasons, have little interest in pursuing that
particular direction.
The Life Path is derived by calculating the sum of the month, day and
year of birth.
EXPRESSION
The Expression is the second most important number in the Core. It
describes a person’s potential talents—the natural abilities as well as
the related character traits. For most of us, these talents and skills
are there at birth, although they are usually further developed as an
individual grows and matures. Very often—but not always—these particular
abilities are of primary importance in a person’s work and career.
Frequently, the talents described by the Expression form the central
feature of an individual’s career.
The Expression is derived by calculating the sum of the number values of
all the letters in the name—for example, the letters in the full name
appearing on the birth certificate.
SOUL URGE
The Soul Urge is the third most important number in the Core. It
describes a person’s inner motivation—what a person wants to be, to have
and to do—and the potential abilities and obstacles which accompany that
motivation. The Soul Urge is influential in determining a person’s point
of view and the principles on which he acts. Although the Life Path and
Expression are generally easy to see in a person, the inner motivation
is often a very private matter—unless revealed through the use of
numerology.
The Soul Urge is derived by calculating the sum of the number values of
all the vowels in the full name.
BIRTHDAY
The Birthday describes some important personality characteristics but
it’s the least important of the Core elements. It’s simply the reduced
form of the number of the day on which a person is born.
REPEATED NUMBERS IN THE CORE
Difficulties are generally encountered in a life when a particular
energy isn’t used in a balanced manner. Repeated numbers point to this
kind of difficulty. They occur when a number appears more than once in
the four Core elements or in the sub-elements used to calculate those
Core elements. Repeated numbers occur in about half the numerology
reports.
When repeated numbers are present, the energy connected with those
numbers causes obstacles because it’s either overemphasized or virtually
ignored. For instance, with a balanced number 1 energy, a person would
be working, among other things, to be as independent as possible. With
repeated 1’s, a person is likely to be experiencing difficulties because
he or she is being dominating (overemphasizing the 1 energy) or
dependent (almost ignoring the 1 energy).
OF SECONDARY SIGNIFICANCE:THE MODIFIERS
Besides the Core elements, there are many additional numbers which
describe specific features of a person’s character. Since the traits
described by these numbers modify the Core elements, the numbers are
called modifiers.
KARMIC DEBTS
A Karmic Debt describes significant difficulties encountered—often for a
good part of the life—while an individual learns to use an energy which
feels somewhat foreign to his nature and particularly arduous to
understand and apply. Karmic Debts occur in many—but not all—numerology
reports.
Karmic Debts are defined when the number 19 is reduced to form a 1 Core
element—or when the numbers 13, 14 and 16 are reduced, respectively, to
4, 5 and 7 Core elements. The Karmic Debts are referred to as 19/1 (read
as 19:1), 13/4, 14/5 and 16/7.
INTENSITY POINTS
Intensity points describe particular strengths or weaknesses in the
personality although they are of much less significance than the
difficulties indicated by the Karmic Debts. Sometimes, an Intensity
Point also describes inner feelings which aren’t consistent with the
characteristics which are outwardly manifested. Many—but not
all—numerology reports contain Intensity Points.
All the letters in any name, as we mentioned previously, can be
converted to numbers. When you check how many 1’s are in a particular
name, how many 2’s, etc., there are often an average amount of a
particular number. This is just what a numerologist would expect. An
Intensity Point occurs when there are more—or less—of a specific number
than the average expected.
KARMIC LESSONS
A Karmic Lesson is a character weakness similar to an Intensity Point,
but more strongly emphasized. A Karmic Lesson occurs when there are no
letters representing a specific number in a name and no Core elements
with that number, either. Most—but not all—numerology reports contain
Karmic Lessons.
MODIFIED KARMIC LESSON
A Modified Karmic Lesson is a character weakness similar to a Karmic
Lesson but a bit easier to handle. A Modified Karmic Lesson occurs when
there are no letters representing a specific number in a name but there
is at least one Core element which does contain the number. Modified
Karmic Lessons appear in some numerology reports.
PERSONAL YEAR
The Personal Year does not actually predict what will happen to a
person, but instead describes the energies that they will be working
with during that year. It also indicates the potential opportunities
available during this time. This important influence changes each year
until its nine year cycle finishes. The first year in the cycle is a one
year, the second year a two year, etc. until the last year in the cycle
occurs which is a nine year. After the ninth year, a new one year starts
the cycle all over again.
The Personal Year is derived by calculating the sum of the month and day
of birth with the current year. This sum is reduced to a single digit or
master number.
ANALYZING THE MANY DIFFERENT NAMES YOU AND OTHER PEOPLE USE
Since the birth date is fixed, the elements and modifiers related to the
birth date don’t change during a person’s lifetime. On the other hand,
names often undergo changes during one’s life either by choice (Robert
becomes Bob) or as a specific situation requires (marriage, in
particular). When names change, there can frequently be substantial
modifications made to a person’s energies and personality.
You can use Personal Numerologist or Numerologist Report Writer to
analyze any
name that a person now uses, has used or is thinking of
using. You can analysis as many different names as you would like for
comparison studies simply by running the appropriate numerology reports.
(The same birth date is always used with the different names one is
analyzing.)
THE IMPORTANCE OF THE BIRTH NAME
A numerology report using the birth date and the birth name describes
the person’s basic traits as they would be seen at birth—and as they
would be expected to grow and develop. The characteristics described are
innate traits that would, in all probability, be present much of the
life. Any obstacles described in this report are likely to be resolved,
or, at the very least, partially resolved, as the person matures. Even
though other names may be used as one gets older, the characteristics of
the birth name are likely to be strongly felt throughout the life. In
most instances, even when a person is born with a name which is changed
shortly after birth, the traits described by that name still leave a
heavy imprint.
HOW PEOPLES’ PERSONALITIES VARY WITH DIFFERENT NAMES
Most of us use names other than our birth name. We use middle initials,
drop middle names, pick up nicknames used by friends or family.
Sometimes, too, we use different names for our signature or change names
by marriage or adoption. At any one time in our lives, the
characteristics we exhibit would be a combination of the traits of all
the names we are currently using plus the traits of our birth name.
The numerology report using the birth name describes your basic
characteristics. Run another numerology report using the name you
currently use rather than your birth name. Compare the energies in both
reports.
Let’s assume that both reports show your business skills. If your
current name report shows more business facility than your birth name
report, you can expect that you generally display added ability in that
area. If, on the other hand, the current name report exhibits less
facility in business matters, expect that your lowered facility will
probably be apparent instead. In other areas—adaptability, ease of
getting on with people, creativity, ease of expressing feelings, to name
just a few—the characteristics of your birth name are likely to be
modified so that they appear closer to the traits of your current name.
Suppose, however, that the current name report emphasizes a specific
capability that is not even mentioned in the birth name report. The
current name report may, for instance, show the potential for
considerable organizational ability while the birth report has nothing
at all to say about that kind of skill. The chances are good that you
weren’t born with any appreciable organizational ability. Since there
was little there to begin with, it’s unlikely that it’ll be built up
into anything of any consequence—irrespective of the possibilities
mentioned in the current name report.
Why does it work that way? Let’s look at a similar situation. If you
were born with great talent as a painter, it’s easy to see that you can
develop that talent further. This is particularly so if your current
name reemphasizes that talent. If, on the other hand, your birth report
suggests little painting talent, it’s hard to imagine that you’re going
to turn into another Leonardo da Vinci no matter what the current report
says. (About 5% of the time, interestingly enough, people can exert the
force of their will and manage to develop a skill that is not mentioned
in the birth name report. Although they’re not likely to become another
Leonardo, they occasionally develop a talent much further than might be
expected.)
It works the same way, of course, with other abilities, too. You can
develop your basic talents, for sure, but you can only occasionally
build up an ability when there is little or nothing there to begin with.
If you have several different current names—say, one that you use in
business, another that you use with your family and still another with
friends—run a numerology report for each name and than compare it with
your birth report. Remember to always use the same birth date.
If you are trying to find a more optimum name, there are several things
to keep in mind. First, choose a new name to best balance the energies
already in your birth report. For example, if your 1, 4 or 8 (pragmatic)
energies are too strong, you may be inflexible. By choosing a current
name that de-emphasizes this energy, this trait can be brought into
better balance. On the other hand, if you already have some business
ability but it is not emphasized, you may want to choose a name that is
stronger in this area.
Next, examine the modifiers. Whichever name—birth or current—that gives
the more balanced use is the one that predominates.
ADOPTING OTHER NAMES THROUGH MARRIAGE
When you change your name by marriage, you can get some idea of how your
life might change from the new name. Compare a report using your married
name with another report using your current name. Compare both reports
to your birth name report, too. If there are several possible marriage
names, you may want to look at them all and pick the one that feels most
comfortable.
NAMING NEW-BORN CHILDREN
You can get some idea of what children are going to be like by looking
at their birth reports—even before they’re born. Since you usually don’t
know the exact birth date in advance, some people run reports for
several different possible birth dates. Some people even run several
different names for each date to make sure they find the name they like
the best. If you want even more information, you may want to compare a
newborn’s birth report and current name report—one report using the name
you’d expect on the birth certificate, the other using what you expect
will be the current name.
CHOOSING NAMES FOR BUSINESSES
You can pick out names for businesses with Personal Numerologist and
Numerologist Report Writer the same way you pick out names for people.
Sometimes, too, if a business is just being started, you may have a
choice of what date you decide to begin operations. You may want to run
a number of numerology reports combining different birth dates with
different business names so you can compare them. Hint: If the Life Path
or Expression of a business turns out to be a number 1 or a number 8,
the potential for money and success may be markedly increased.
The success of any business is dependent, of course, on more than the
name of the business. It also depends, as you might expect, on the main
people running the business. Run numerology reports for all these people
and you can get some further indication of what to expect when they’re
all working together.
