The Numerology Basics

Updated: Apr 7, 2020

What is Numerology?

Numerology is a science based on theory of vibrations and Cosmic Energy by planets. Pythagoras is considered as father of numerology. Person is governed by a certain Principal planet {Ruling Number’s planet} & secondary planets {Planets of destiny number, Month of birth, Day of birth}. There are 11 masters- Master of 1 to 9, Master 11 & Master 22.

What kind of answers can Numerology give me?

Numerology is a self-help tool that can reveal much about your personal character and your life as a whole. In many ways, Numerology can both predict and not predict your future. While your Numerology cycles indicate the opportunities and challenges, joys and pains that will arise throughout different periods of your life, the way you choose to handle these occurrences at any given moment is still up to you.


So is Numerology all about math?

Numerology is the science of numbers, but it only involves simple mathematics. It's more about the personalities of each number, and how each numbers traits alter the flavor of your life depending on where they appear in your personal Numerology -- if they appear at all.


Is Numerology based solely on my date of birth?

Your personal Numerology chart is primarily based on two things: your date of birth and the name you were given at birth, but also takes into account the name you use today. Some numbers and cycles in your Numerology chart are derived from your birth date while others come from the letters of your birth name. According to Numerology, the name you were first given is the perfect name for you -- the name you were truly meant to have.


What does my name have to do with Numerology?

Much of your Numerology is based on your name -- your birth name plays a key role in your personal Numerology chart, but the name you use today affects the persona you're giving off to the world. Should you change your name after marriage or divorce? Is the spelling of your name affecting your fortune in life? Numerology holds the answers.


What's my Life Path number?

Your Life Path number is the most important number in your entire Numerology chart! Based on your unique birth date, your Life Path number will be with you throughout your whole life.


What's the difference between a Life Path, Expression, Heart's Desire number, etc.?

Your personal Numerology chart is full of numbers that influence all the facets of your personality and phases of your life. While your Life Path, Expression, Heart's Desire and other numbers combine to make up the complete picture of you, each individual number represents a different, specific part of you and your life.


What's the significance of Odd & Even numbers:

Odd numbers are considered to be more powerful than even numbers. Therefore people born on odd numbers {Date of birth 1, 3, 5, 7, 9} are more courageous, confident and powerful than people born on even numbers {Date of birth 2, 4, 6, 8}.

What does it mean by Ruling Number:

This is calculated by adding the digits of your birthday and reducing the sum to one digit. Ruling number is 70% important. e.g. If you are born on 23 rd March 1993 , then your fate number is 2+3=5. Hence here Mercury is Principal planet. {5 is ruled by planet ‘Mercury’}. Following are dates of month and related numbers allotted to them:


  • 1 10 19 28: Ruling Number 1 person

  • 2 11 20 29: Ruling Number 2 person

  • 3 12 21 30: Ruling Number 3 person

  • 4 13 22 31: Ruling Number 4 person

  • 5 14 23 : Ruling Number 5 person

  • 6 15 24 : Ruling Number 6 person

  • 7 16 25 : Ruling Number 7 person

  • 8 17 26 : Ruling Number 8 person

  • 9 18 27 : Ruling Number 9 person

Hereafter if we say Ruling number 1 people that means all those people who are born on 1st , 10th , 19th and 28th of any month.

Following is the number & corresponding ruling planet:

  • 1-Sun

  • 2-Moon

  • 3-Jupiter

  • 4-Uranus

  • 5-Mercury

  • 6-Venus

  • 7-Neptune

  • 8-Saturn

  • 9-Mars

All planets have particular characteristics and hence people born under that planet will have same characteristics of that planet. e.g. All planets revolve around Sun. So we can say that Sun is leader of all planets. Hence Number 1 people will have leadership qualities in them.


What is Destiny Number?

The complete date of birth (day, month and year) when reduced to a single digit is called the “destiny number”. e.g. If you are born on 23 rd March 1993 , then your destiny number is 2+3+3+1+9+9+3=30 & 3+0=3. So destiny number is 3.


Days & their ruling planet:

  • Monday-Moon

  • Tuesday-Mars

  • Wednesday-Mercury

  • Thursday-Jupiter

  • Friday-Venus

  • Saturday-Saturn

  • Sunday-Sun

The person will have characteristics of Ruling number & its planet up to 70%. Person will also have characteristics of Destiny number & its planet, Day of birth, Sun sign and Month {30%}.


Can Numerology determine romantic compatibility?

It can! Your personal Life Path number reveals the style of your life, thoughts, communication patterns and more. When comparing and contrasting the styles of each Life Path number, some numbers work together quite well -- while others should be avoided.


What does it mean when I see the same number everywhere I look?

Numbers that recur and repeat in life are Numerology's way of directing you toward information you may be missing or lessons you've yet to learn.


What's in store for me?

The numbers at play during any Universal or Personal cycle can suggest what may be in store for you and the rest of the world during any given month, year or phase of your life.
