What is Numerology?

Numerology, or the science of numbers, is all about numbers, and their vibrational bent aids the numerologists to predict the future of the person. Numerologists presume that numbers hold the strength to influence the person’s traits as well as the events that occur in their lives. Numerology, in general, studies the total sum of the numbers that occur on the date of birth of an individual with the numerological correspondent of the alphabet in their name.

Being said that, we can also say that numbers in all forms are associated with the lives of a person in some way or the other. Also, the month when a particular event has occurred could be reduced to a specific number, and the same applies to the year and the date (if double-digit) as well. Thus, one can say that numerology is the type of prophecy, a divination science that depends on such specific numbers and the analysis depending on them.

According to numerology, one can predict a number of things, scenarios, and whatnot about people, their personalities, along with their future. There are several types of numbers, techniques, and calculations analyzed in numerology, and they are— Birth Date Number, Karmic Cycle Number, Life Path Number, Sun Number, etc.

And just like astrology, it is seen that these planets influence the existence of the person in a consequential way. Also, a primary and a secondary planet governs each individual at the time of their birth. And post-birth, he/she starts giving vibrations of that particular number and the planet in charge of that number.

All the major aspects of the life of a person involve his desires, career, health, finances, etc., depending on the number and the planets concerned with it. Numerology all has its applications in the compatibility arena as well. A person can know if their partner is right for them or not just by looking at their number and knowing its compatibility with theirs. Continue reading from Astrotalk
