There will be many times in your life that you see a sequence of numbers again and again in everyday life. You might even find that you are drawn to certain numbers whether they be singular or many at once. Numerology explores the reasoning behind these sequences and how we can read them to discover what they mean. You might be sitting there thinking you’ve never even heard of Numerology and you wouldn’t be alone. In the following article, we will be discussing what Numerology is and how it can affect your life. 

What Is Numerology?

In Layman’s terms, Numerology is the study of numbers in your life. Using these numbers you can discover a vast amount of information about the world and individual situations. It’s known as the universal language of numbers. 

You might be familiar with similar practices like Astrology and if that’s the case then you may well know a little bit about Numerology as it’s similar in many ways. The difference being we use a different source for the information, numbers instead of planets. 

Essentially, Numerology is the idea that numbers are the basis of everything we see in the universe. Once the system is broken down we are left with the basics, which are numbers. These numbers help us understand ourselves, the past, present and sometimes the future.

How Does it Work? 

If we were to discuss the in-depth details of how Numerology works then we would be here for quite some time, so instead let’s look at the basics to see if we can gain a slight understanding. Usually, you would require a numerologist to provide details and accurate readings of your numbers but there are some things you can find out yourself. Your Life Path Number can we worked out using your birth date and from there you can discover things about the way you express things, your personality, and why your past, present, and future are how they are. You can also work out your Soul Number which can also tell you a lot about your life.

The basic idea behind numerology is that you can discover the way that the universe and your life is affected by using your birth date, birth name, and other factors that surround an individual. Using this way will provide you with a great deal of in-depth information using a numerology forecast.

Numerologists believe that there are no coincidences in the universe and using numbers we can look upon the journey one will make through their life.

Soul Number 

The Soul Number is derived from our name and will give us a number when performing a simple maths equation. More specifically you only use the vowels within your name and by assigning each of them a number you can work out what your Soul Number is. This number represents you, who you are, and your inner self. Not only this, but it can show you what your intentions in life are and what your likes, dislikes, motivations, and needs are. There are two ways in which you can discover your soul number that are relatively easy. You can use an online calculator or you can write out your name on a piece of paper and assign all the vowels with the following numbers: A=1, E=5, I=9, O=6, U=3 and Y=7. 

Once you’ve assigned all letters with numbers then you need to reduce them down to a single number, do so by adding them together. Let’s use Joe Smith as an example, after assigning the numbers you will be left with 6, 5 and 9. So we add those together which gives us 20. Add the 2 and the 0 together and you have a soul number of 2. 

Now you can look at the charts to see what your soul number says about you. 

Life Path Number 

Much like the Soul Number, the Life Path Number is another that we can discover many interesting things about our personality traits, wants and needs. This number is calculated using our birth date instead of our name and works in a very similar way. We need to reduce the date down to a singular number. Let’s use 16th February 1999 as an example. 

16, 2, 1999, are the numbers we get from the date so let us reduce them down. 1+6=7, 2 is fine on its own, and 1+9+9+9=28. Once again we can do the same calculations and reduce the 28 first down. 2+8=10, which means 1+0=1. After that, we are left with 7+2+1=10. So our soul number is 1. 

Once you’ve discovered your Life Path Number then you can either speak to a professional numerologist to have a proper reading, or you can go online and do some research into the characteristics of your LPN. 

Numerology is fascinating and something everyone should look into at least once. Yes, there are going to be many skeptics out there but that’s the same for everything that requires a belief, even religion. If you’re struggling with your direction in life then there is no harm in exploring something new. Discover what your numbers are today.
