Introduction to Numerology: The Magic of Numbers

What is Your Magic Number?

Numbers are not only simple tools, but in numerology they also embody complex symbols. The belief that numbers and their combinations have a meaning far beyond the use in mathematics forms the basis of the pseudo science of numerology.

Each number has its secret 

Numerologists believe that numbers in their appropriate interpretation can reveal hidden facts, events or even the future. In the 6th Century BC, Pythagoras developed the idea of a cosmic mathematically-recognizable order. The first four numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4, were primarily important, and only the sequence of numbers 1 to 10 is evaluated as the basic numbers. All other figures were seen as combinations. Of significance was the contrasting interplay between odd and even numbers.Odd numbers were assigned as happy and a masculine principle, which was one in all theological-centered cultures. Thus, many rituals are still carried out in an odd number, for example, three or seven times. The even numbers correspond to the feminine principle. Numerology is based on the idea that all things are connected in the universe by a single, numerical plan.

Secret link in the universe 

The medieval heyday of numerical allegory caused the cathedrals to be built on a numerical mysticism basis. In fact, one can see at a distance the division in two sections, with the smaller being the major route in the same ratio as the larger section (Golden Ratio to total distance shows proof to many numerologists of the fundamentally cosmic harmony with numerical orientation).

Find your own mystic number

To find the mystic number of one's own name in numerology, you must provide the check sum of the name. For example, the sum of digits of the number 5477 means the addition of 5 +4 +7 +7 = 23. It is the sum of the digits until a single digit number remains. Thus, 2 +3 = 5.

This is how it works:

1 = A, I, Q, J, Y 

2 = B, K, L 

3 = C, G, R, S 

4 = D, M, T 

5 = E, H, N, X 

6 = U, V , W 

7 = O , Z 

8 = F , P

Calculate your mystic number 

Now write your name following the instructions above with the corresponding numbers assigned to the letter. Then we form the sum of digits to a single-digit number.

Here is an example:JOHN SMITH: 1+7+5+5+3+4+1+4+5=35=3+5=8

8 is then the personal number, which stands for character and purpose. It refers to the whole and predetermined directions of one's own destiny.

The importance of different names and numbers in numerology
