What is Numerology?

Numerology refers to the study of numbers. Each and every human being on this planet can be studied based on numbers. Numbers tell us about a range of things including personality, financial stability, relationship with others, and career path. However, there are a lot of people who misinterpret numerology as the science that can merely help an individual finalize names and their spellings. It should be noted that there are many more aspects to it.

To study an individual based on their numbers, we require their date of birth and their name. With the help of their date of birth, the digits can be added up until a single digit is reached. This followed by a thorough analysis of various aspects of life like luck, relationship, and career. The name of the person is also quite significant and is correlated to a number that helps in drawing conclusions, making predictions, and suggesting remedies.

Life Path Number

The life path number is a one of the most vital parameters in Numerology as different life path numbers display diverse personality traits.

The calculations for this quite simple. Suppose, Mr. X’s birth date is 9 January 2001. The life path number is the addition of all the digits i.e., 9+1+2+0+0+1 = 13. Then, these two digits are further added until we reach at one digit. Thus, the life path number of Mr X is 1+3 = 4.

Following are the interpretations of the 9 numbers–

• Number 1 – People with life path number 1 are artistic, ambitious, determined, and generally quite physically strong.
• Number 2 – People with life path number 2 have a diplomatic personality. They are able to maintain a proper balance in life.
• Number 3 – People with life path number 3 are excellent at socializing and have great communication skills. They are quite intellectual and intelligence is deeply embedded in these people.
• Number 4 – People with life path number 4 are hard workers. They are also very disciplined and well mannered.
• Number 5 – People with life path number 5 can easily stand out in a crowd. They are adventure- seekers and love to explore new things.
• Number 6 – People with life path number 6 have a caring and loving nature. They are known to be some of the wonderful and helpful friends.
• Number 7 – People with life path number 7 are very spiritual. These personalities generally like to live their life on their own terms. This is one of the reasons why they may seem a bit aloof.
• Number 8 – People with life path number 8 has an extraordinary willpower. They are also a power player who has a lot of influence and dominance over others.
• Number 9 – People with life path number 9 are very compassionate and understanding. They tend to have an idealistic behaviour.

Importance Of Name in Numerology

Each letter of the English alphabet is assigned a number. All the numbers in an individual’s name can be added up sequentially until we arrive at a single digit. The numbers for various alphabets are –
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

For instance, if study has to be carried out on an individual named “BEN GOMES” then number will be:
B+E+N+G+O+M+E+S i.e.
2+5+5+7+6+4+5+1 = 35

Further, adding this up becomes 3+5 = 8.

This is known as the individual’s destiny number. And this has to be calculated taking full name into account. This gives an insight into the overall character of a person. Other than this, the personality number is calculated with the help of consonants in the individual’s first name only. This gives an idea of the person’s specific and innate personality. However, one’s soul number is calculated with the use of all vowels in the person’s first and last name. This tells us about their inner desires.
