The origins of numerology

Numerology is based on the belief that numbers are a universal language. By calculating specific numbers (usually names and dates of birth are calculated first), you can get a clearer picture of yourself, others, and the world in general. Although this system appears to have been used in various civilizations for thousands of years, no one knows the true origins of the study, although numerological systems and beliefs appear in letters, found in early cultures.

Types of numerology

Numerology has different origins and different people use different types.

Gematria

Gematria Is an ancient form of numerology that arose out of Hebrew mysticism and scripture interpretation, where each Hebrew letter was also assigned a numerical value and the value of words was calculated using those numbers. Using this equivalence between numbers and letters, scholars calculate the value of words in the scriptures to draw parallels between specific passages and establish connections between important concepts.

Pythagorean numerology

Western numerology dates back to the Greek philosopher and mathematician Pythagoras who developed the theory of numbers. As in Gematria, Pythagoras postulated numbers, proposing a system for understanding the universe, and assigned a numerical value to each letter of the alphabet. It is the most common form of numerology in use today and the numeric / alphabetic values ​​are based on a table of 9 numeric values.

В нPythagorean moderation table you will most often see the following calculations:

• Calculate the number of heart desires by using the vowels from the full name at birth and reducing it to one digit.
• Calculate personality by adding the consonants of the full name at birth and reducing it to one number.
• Calculate the Destiny or Expression number by adding all the numbers of the full name at birth and reducing it to one digit.
• Calculate way of life by adding the date of birth numbers together to get a single number.

Chaldean numerology

Chaldean numerology older than Pythagorean numerology and was developed haldeyami ... It is based on eight numbers and some double numbers and is more difficult for many people to master, but more accurate than the more widely used Pythagorean numerology system. He also assigns numbers to vowels.

Also, as in Pythagorean numerology, two main values ​​are calculated: name and date of birth.

• In Chaldean numerology, you using an incomplete name at birth , but rather the name by which the person is most often known. So, if Robert Amos Smith's name is Bob, then the name number is calculated as Bob (2 + 7 + 2 = 11; 1 + 1 = 2) Smith (3 + 4 + 1 + 4 + 5 = 17; 1 + 7 = 8) ... Add two together (2 + 8 = 10; 1 + 0 = 1). In Chaldean numerology, 10 (the last two-digit number before the final abbreviation) has the same meaning as a single-digit number (in this case, 1). From there, you can define character traits and meanings .
• Chaldean numerology calculates from birth dates in the same way as Pythagorean numerology.

Kabbalah Numerology

As a hybrid of Gematria and Pythagorean numerology, numerology Kabbalah uses a name to compute personality traits with the same literal meanings, but with different meanings for every single digit. Kabbalah also has over 400 combinations of life paths, so there are more variables here.

To calculate the number Kabbalah for Robert Amos Smith:

1. Add up the letters by Robert Amos Smith to get the original number 69.
2. Now divide that number by 9 (69 ÷ 9 = 63 with a remainder of 6).
3. Add 1 to the remainder (6 + 1 = 7).
4. In this case, the number of Kabbalah is 7.

This is a very basic textbook on the different types of numerology, and it takes much more to truly understand each one. deep study ... While you can do some basic calculations, you can get more information from a qualified numerologist.

Life in numbers

Based on the system used and the values ​​associated with each of the calculated numbers, you can explore personality traits, obstacles to overcome, and other karmic attributes that can manifest in play throughout your life.
