How Numbers in Numerology Work?

• Numerology is an analysis based on numbers and numbers 1 through 9, all single digits are significant. However, the most popular numerology that is followed across the world today, ‌modern numerology (believed to be influenced by Pythagorean numerology, though Pythagorean numerology too is believed to be influenced by Chaldean numerology) has an exception and that is special master numbers 11 and 22. All these 11 numbers (that is 1 to 9 and 11 and 22) reflect the energy and vibration rates in connection with different traits in an individual’s life.
• While calculating the right number for a person, the numbers in a DOB or letters in a name (each letter is identified by a number) are totalled to get a single number. For example, the number 18 (1 + 8) is 9. Similarly, the number 1970 (1 + 9 + 7 + 0) gives 17. Again 17(1 + 7) is 8. So, this is how one can calculate his/her number by adding all the digits in their date of birth.
• In the same way, letters in an individual’s name are added to reach a number. As mentioned above, every letter is identified by a number, so numbers that every letter in a name has, are added together to get a number. For example, in the name RAM, let us say R is equivalent to 1, A equals 2, and M equals 3, so the number we get by adding the letter numbers is (1+2+3 = 6). So, for a person whose name is RAM, his name number or destiny number will be 6. To know about the correct numbers for every letter in your name, you can consult our numerology astrologers here.
• So, this is how numerologists use a person’s date of birth or name to obtain the core elements and modifiers in numerology, which are analysed to get a deeper insight into the personality traits and distinct nature of a person.

What Are The Different Types of Numerology?

The predictive science of numbers, commonly known as numerology is used across the world with variations. The most common types of numerology are Vedic Numerology, Chaldean, Pythagorean, Abracadabra and Kabbalah.

Vedic Numerology

Vedic astrologers use Vedic numerology in various circumstances.

Kabbalah Numerology

Kabbalah numerology is based on the Hebrew alphabet, and it has only 22 vibrations. It gets results only from a person’s name meaning.

Chaldean Numerology

This numerology was born in Babylon. Chaldean numerology considers both the name of the person and his/her date of birth for analysis.

Pythagorean numerology

This is the most popular form of numerology used across the world as it is easy to learn and practise. Pythagorean numerology uses both the name and date of birth of a person and gets results from the interaction between the two.

Abracadabra Numerology

This is the most unpopular form of numerology. It is an analysis of a series of pyramids and numerical values to get results about a person’s life and personality traits.
What is numerology in astrology?
Astrology and numerology work differently although they are interconnected. Astrology directly deals with the movement and placement of planets, stars and other celestial bodies of the universe in our Kundali, as it believes their movements and positions in our birth charts have a great influence on our life events. On the other hand, numerology is all about the study of numbers that are obtained from the dates of birth and letters in the name of an individual. The numbers are 1 through 9. Of course, these numbers ‌subtly represent the 9 planets and other celestial bodies that connect us to the universe. Also, numbers like 11 and 22 have a high significance in modern numerology.
