Numerology Basics — How Numbers Shape Your Destiny

Numerology is the ancient study of numbers and their cosmic influence on human life. It works on the principle that every number from 1-9 has a unique vibration and meaning.

The three core numbers in numerology: Life Path Number (from date of birth — your destiny), Expression Number (from full name — your talents), and Soul Urge Number (from vowels in name — your inner desires).

Two main systems: Pythagorean (Western) — assigns numbers 1-9 to letters A-Z sequentially. Chaldean (Ancient Babylonian) — assigns numbers based on sound vibrations, considered more accurate by many practitioners.

Master Numbers: 11, 22, and 33 are not reduced to single digits — they carry heightened spiritual significance. 11 = Master Intuition, 22 = Master Builder, 33 = Master Teacher.

Number meanings: 1 (Sun — leadership), 2 (Moon — diplomacy), 3 (Jupiter — creativity), 4 (Rahu — stability), 5 (Mercury — freedom), 6 (Venus — love), 7 (Ketu — spirituality), 8 (Saturn — power), 9 (Mars — compassion).
