Things You Need to Know About Numerology

As the name suggests, numerology is the language of numbers. The best way to start learning numerology is to understand the different types of numerology and what the numbers represent. Here is what you need to know about Numerology before you decide to delve deeper into this field.

What is numerology?

Numerology can help you in a similar way to astrology. It can help you better understand yourself, others, and your environment. Seeing the same number over and over again can also be a message from the universe.

Types of numerology

There are many different numerology systems, depending on where they originated and their cultural influences. Each system has a different way of interpreting numbers and each represents its own information.

Chaldean Numerology

Chaldean numerology is based on the individual vibrations of each number, which give each number its own characteristics. The Chaldean numerology alphabet chart does not include the number '9'. They also use all the digits of a number. A single digit represents external influences and the internal digits are reduced to a single digit representing the inner aspects of an individual.

Kabbalah numerology

Kabbalah numerology is based on Jewish mysticism. Unlike other methods, Kabbalah numerology only analyzes a person's name. Like other systems, the letters in the table have a specific value, representing specific characteristics. However, Kabbalah numerology has a much wider range of numbers, with up to 400 different life paths based on 22 different vibrations.

Vedic Numerology

Vedic Numerology (Tamil Numerology) is considered to be one of the oldest forms of numerology. In this field, the numbers range from 1 to 9. Each number has a specific characteristic that helps you understand yourself. It consists of three main numbers; Spiritual Number, Destiny Number and Name Number. In addition, Vedic Numerology is a small but essential part of astrology in India.

Western Numerology

Western numerology (Pythagorean numerology) uses a system developed by the Greek philosopher and mathematician Pythagoras. Pythagoras introduced the idea of ​​numbers as symbols. He theorized that everything has a predictable cycle and that there is a relationship between numbers and the alphabet. This form of numerology is probably the most popular numerology system today.

How to learn Western Numerology

Different types of numerology have different numerology charts, but any numerology system requires only a pencil, paper, and the ability to perform simple addition. However, it can also be quite complex because it involves many numbers, and each number tells you something about yourself. However, understanding the meaning of the numbers themselves as well as the steps you need to take to get these numbers is essential to fully appreciate numerology.
