Someone was asking me about numerology, today, so here’s a very brief explanation on how it works.
First, and most importantly, what is your life path number? What are you here to do/learn in this lifetime?
Let’s say you were born today:
Feb 24 2019
We reduce each part to a single number, like so:
Feb = 2
24 = (2+4) = 6
2019 = (2+0+1+9) =12 =(1+2) = 3
Then add these sums together:
2 + 6 + 3 = 11
Normally, if the final sum is two digits, you would again add them together (1+1 = 2), but with 11, 22 and 33 these are ‘master numbers’ so they are left as is. But you would still take into account the number they reduce to (2), because it is an underlying influence, just a lower vibration. Especially since some people are not yet able to live according to their master number and are working up to it.
Also we take into account the birth DAY number (6/Lover), which influences the life path.
Next, you could look up your life path number online and see what it means, or you could turn to your trusty Tarot deck for clues. 11, the ‘mute’ number of paradox and therefore truth, is the Strength card. Reduced to 2, it’s the High Priestess. 11 is the master spiritual number, representing two pillars, a portal to the ‘spiritual realm’.
People with 11 life paths are therefor revealers of one kind or another.
22 on the other hand is the master of the material world.
22 reduces to 4, The Emperor, who is like a fortress. In Tarot, 22 is the Fool when he turns up at the other end, because both 0 and 22 are ‘God’, the emptiness (some would say the unconscious) as well as the divine architect. People with 22 life paths are usually architects of one kind or another, good at giving form to their vision.
33 is the number of perfection – best of both worlds. (It’s why Freemasons have 33 degrees).
There are many factors in numerology, but the next most important is your name number, which is what you are expressing. So having given each letter it’s number value, add them one by one for each name, then add together the sums of these, same as we did for the date:
Jane Erre
(Jane) 1 + 1 + 5 + 5 = 12 = (1+2) = 3
(Erre) 5 + 9 + 9 +5 = 28 = (2+8) = 10 = (1+0) = 1
3 + 1 = 4
Jane’s expression is 4, The Emperor.
[Note that after 9th letter ‘i’, we have to start reducing them to a single digit, except for ‘k’ (11) and ‘v’ (22).] Often people will change their name or some letters in their name to get a number that resonates better with who they are, for example changing Michael to Michel can make a big difference.
Now, to find your personal ‘power’ number, add your life path number to your name number.
Mine is 8 + 3 = 11. 11 is also my DAY number, which influences my 8 life path,
‘walking the spiritual path with practical feet’.
Numerology is helpful in understanding Tarot. The images are illustrations of their number’s vibration, and number mysticism that goes back to Pythagoras. The zodiacal chart is also based on mathematical harmonics, which is why it works. Used together they can provide a more complete picture.
