What Is Numerology?
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

2. 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 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 a numerology reading.
1: Independence, Individuality, Attainment; Leadership, Pioneering, Administrating.
This number brings strong leadership potential. As a person with this number develops this ability,
they may be able to assume a significant position in the business or political world. One of the
major lessons of this number is to learn the benefits of being independent. A person with this
number must first learn to stand comfortably on their own two feet without leaning on other people.
After that, they can advance themselves by using their ability for organizing, leading and
managing. Some people spend much of their lives on the first part of the lesson. Others learn that
part quickly and devote most of their lives to important leadership roles.
2: Cooperation, Closeness, Sensitivity; Balance and Harmony, Supportive.
People with this number have an innate sensitivity and an extreme awareness of their own and
others' feelings. Because they are so touched by the subtleties of everyone's emotions, they can
understand a great deal from a word, a gesture or even an unspoken thought. One of the major
lessons of this number is to learn to balance that sensitivity so it contributes to one's well-being
instead of tripping oneself up. Rather than becoming hurt or resentful because of their unusual
sensitivity, one must learn to use their responsiveness for their own and others' benefit. Although
their sensitivity may feel like a weakness, particularly in their younger years, it is, without question,
one of their important strengths.
3: Expressing Self, Joy of Living; Enthusiasm, Optimism, Creativity, Sociability.
Individuals with this number have a special gift, the potential to experience great delight in the
pleasures of life. They sometimes affirm this delight with exhilarating enthusiasm, sometimes
savor it with intense but quiet pleasure. One of their major lessons of this number is to learn to

3. fully appreciate and express this wonderful joy in living. Those with this number enjoy people and
spend considerable time socializing, either with many friends in varied activities or in the company
of a few intimates engaged in quiet diversions. They're also apt to enjoy using their considerable
creative ability.
4: System and Order, Service, Sense of Limitation; Managing, Working Hard, Practical, Down-to-
Earth.
Those with this number have the potential to work long, hard and patiently. If there's a job
requiring a good deal of time, much difficult work and careful attention to detail, they can probably
do it well. One of the major lessons of this number is to learn the advantage of using system and
order. A person with this number may choose a line of work in which their systematic approach
can be developed. They're likely to be good at establishing new routines and maintaining existing
ones. They will also experience limitations and restrictions at times in their life. Rather then
struggle against these, it is necessary to learn to live with them, to accept them and make a
meaningful life, not in spite of the limitations, but because of the limitations.
5: Constructive Use of Freedom; Variety, Excitement, Progressive, Creative.
A person with this number displays considerable versatility -- the ability to do almost anything they
attempt with superior skill. This innate capacity allows them a boundless freedom most people can
only dream about. One of the major lessons of this number is to learn to use this freedom
constructively. Since these individuals have so many talents and so many opportunities for the use
of those talents, they probably have to learn to focus their energies on a limited number of
ventures rather than attempt to take advantage of all the possibilities.
6: Balance, Responsibility, Love; Supportive, Comforting, Serving, Helping.
People with this number demonstrate an innate ability to comfort, help and serve others less able
than themselves. They devote much of their effort to other people. One of the major lessons of this
number is to learn the special satisfactions that come from the responsibilities one accepts. Since
others will quickly recognize the caring ways of those with this number and turn to them for the
help they can provide, they are apt to commit themselves to far more than their fair share.
Although their sense of responsibility is one of their important strengths, they may have to learn
that they don't have to be responsible for everything or everybody.
7: Analysis, Understanding, Introspective; Search for Truth, Spiritual Understanding.
Individuals with this number have a fine analytical mind and are capable of much in the way of
learning. They usually have the potential to understand fundamental truths as well as the capacity
to search for ultimate meanings. They may involve themselves in complex technical, scientific or
philosophical studies. One of your major lessons of this number is to use one's abilities to learn
the peace of mind which can only come from knowing oneself and accepting and expressing one's
deepest feelings.
8: Material Satisfaction, Accomplishment; Desire for Success, Power, Recognition.
This number brings strong business ability. As a person with this number develops their executive

4. and administrative talents, they may want to run their own business or, at the least, play a
significant role in some commercial venture. One of the major lessons of this number is to learn
the satisfactions of the material world and the power which comes with its mastery. Those with this
number may have to learn that the attainment of wealth or power is not an end in itself, but only a
means to an end. The goal, quite simply, is the happiness and satisfaction which can be achieved
along with the material freedom.
9: Selflessness, Humanitarianism; Giving Without Thought of Return, Compassionate.
People with this number have an innate love of their fellow man. They usually enjoy people as
individuals and, at the same time, have a marked concern for humanity in general. They may
involve themselves in philanthropic or humanitarian activities. One of the major lessons of this
number is to learn to give of oneself as selflessly as possible, without thought of reward or return.
As one can well imagine, this is a difficult lesson to put into practice. Much of a person's effort may
be spent in learning to balance their personal needs and ambitions, however large or small,
against their inborn desire to contribute to those in need.
11: Illumination, Nervous Tension; Spiritual Channel and Teacher.
When those with this number use their spiritual awareness, they can intuitively perceive a great
deal about the non-material world -- and religious, psychic or metaphysical forces. They have the
potential to act as a channel for these awareness's. They must learn to develop their ability to tune
into these spiritual areas and then transmit their unique knowledge and increased perception of
the deepest truths to others. This may prove to be one of the more important lessons that they
learn.
22: Master Builder, Latent Power, Nervous Tension; Spiritual Understanding of Material World,
High Ideals.
When those with this number use their spiritual awareness, they are likely to intuitively perceive a
great deal about the non-material world -- and religious, psychic or metaphysical forces. They
have the potential to apply these unique philosophical perceptions to the accomplishment of
practical, down-to-earth undertakings. They may be able to develop or manage sizable ventures,
particularly ventures with significant humanitarian ends. Learning to use their non-material
understandings for the benefit of the material world may prove to be one of the more important
lessons in their life.
The two most important parts of a numerology reading are the Life Path and Expression which are
described below. Using the above number descriptions, you can get a basic idea of what your
numbers mean.
Life Path
The Life Path is the most important number in a numerology reading. 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

5. 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, and reducing
to a single digit or master number.
Expression
The Expression is another important number. 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, and reducing to
a single digit or master number.
Though this article is intended to cover the basics of numerology, there are many good books
available if you would like to pursue this fascinating subject in more depth.
