According to Pythagoras, the universe is ruled by numbers.
He devised a system now called numerology, in which each number has a specific meaning.
This enables you to explore a word or name by adding up the numerological value of each letter it contains.
Using this system, you can analyse the names and numbers of anything you wish, from your pet's name to your house number.
Many numerologists have devised their own systems but they are all based
on Pythagoras's original work. In most numerology systems, only 11 numbers
are used: from 1 to 9, plus 11 and 22.
Each of these has its own special meaning. Any other number is reduced to one of these 11 numbers by adding together its digits.
One of the simplest and easiest forms of numerology uses the numbers from one to nine, consecutively: A is 1, B is 2, I is 9, J is 1, and so on.
When analysing your name, you can divide it into three numbers for a more
complex reading.
Add up the entire name to discover what is called the personality number (showing your natural abilities).
Then add up the vowels to discover your heart number (your innermost desires), and the consonants to discover your expression number (the persona that you present to other people).
You can also add up the numbers of your date of birth to discover your destiny number, which describes the lessons you will learn during your lifetime.
