Just For Fun: Numerology

Disclaimer: This is just for fun, so try not to be duly influenced by the information provided.

If you are looking for love and want to do it by the "numbers", I'll be writing a series of blog posts that tell you how to figure out all sorts of stuff using the ancient art of numerology.

Numerology, which is the study of numbers and their meaning to determine their supposed influence on one’s life, future, etc., holds some validity. However, it is all in the interpretation. Moreover, these numbers are simply indicative of patterns or cycles. Every individual has the free will to create his/her life in a personal fashion and should not feel hampered by any labels assigned by these numbers.

That said – it’s still fun to look at your personal numbers! Some of the information that can be derived from numerology includes:

Life Path/Birth Path

This number will tell you the major lesson to be learned in this life and the potential abilities and obstacles which accompany it. This is considered to be the most important number, for it tells what one is like and what he/she is naturally and best suited to do. This is derived from adding up the numbers in your birth date.

Expression/Destiny

This number identifies potential talents and abilities, as well as your mission in life. This number is derived from the letters in your birth name. Keep in mind that this number can change if your name changes.

Soul Urge/Heart’s Desire

This number describes your inner motivation and reflects the foundation of your beliefs and attitudes towards life. This number, which is derived from the vowels in your name, reflects what you instinctively know but which may not be obvious to the outside world.

Personality                                    

This number describes how you appear to others – the first impression you make. On a deeper level, it could describe the social mask you use to protect yourself. This number is derived from the consonants in your name.

Karmic Lesson

This number describes your lesson to be learned in this life. It is derived by looking at what numbers are missing from your birth name. If more than one is missing, you may have more than one lesson to learn.
