Numerology For Beginners

What is numerology?

Explaining numerology for beginners as simply as we can, it is as the name suggests, the study of numbers. Based on the idea that the universe is a system that can be broken down into numbers and patterns. Even letters have a significance in numerology. The job of a numerologist is to use the numbers with simple formulas to create a persons chart.

A chart can help us to better understand  the world and even ourselves, as individuals. You will be amazed to find out that, through numbers, you can discover in-depth characteristics of your personality. Numerology is often associated with the paranormal, like astrology and law of attraction. Every number has a specific vibration, each one with a different property, according to that specific vibration.

History of numerology

It is hard to put the finger on the specific moment in time when numerology was discovered, but one of the most popular beliefs is that Pythagoras first found this field. He was a philosopher that lived in Greece around 569BC and studied mathematics, music, and philosophy, along with his students.

You sure have learned in school the Pythagorean theorem, which states that in a right angled triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the two other sides.

These are just two examples to get you familiar with Pythagora’s work in the field of numbers. In addition to them, and here we reach the numerology, Pythagoras believed in the mystical power of numbers. He and his disciples found out that if you add up a series of odd numbers beginning with the number one, the final result will be in all cases one.

This was an exciting discovery that marks the start of the numerology path, letting them conclude that people can measure everything in the world using numbers. So, Phythagora opens the way of numerology by providing the foundation with his theories.

There are also two other forms of numerology other than Pythagorean which are Chaldean and Kabbalistic. If practicing numerology it’s better to use only one so there is no confusion.

How is it used?

We all have a name and a birthdate which can be used in numerology to find out more about what kind of person we are. All numbers have a vibration which we tap into and attract.

Birthday number

You can use numerology also to find out your birthday number. This number will reveal exciting facts about your purposes and desires. To find out this number you will need your full birth date. Take the date you were born and if it is a single number e.g. 3rd then your number is just 3. If you were born on a double number e.g. 15th then you add them together 1+5 =6 so your number will be 6. If you were born on the 29th then you would add 2+9=11, 1+1=2 so your birthday number would be 2. Keep a note of it. Your birth number can dictate the type of person you are.
