What Is Numerology?
Numerology is the ancient practice of reading the numbers you were born with—your birth date and your name—to understand who you are and where your life is heading.
People have read meaning into numbers for well over 5,000 years; the system most of us use today goes back some 2,500 years to Pythagoras, the Greek mathematician who taught that numbers carry cosmic meaning as well as quantity.
The 5 Core Numbers Explained
Modern numerology distills your identity into five distinct numeric frequencies:
Your Life Purpose & Path
Calculated from your birth date (Month + Day + Year). Describes the overall road you're walking and your core identity.
Your Innate Talents
Calculated from all letters in your full birth name using Pythagorean math. Reveals the gifts and abilities you carry.
Your Inner Desires
Calculated from the vowels in your name. Names what actually fulfills you emotionally and spiritually.
Your First Impression
Calculated from the consonants in your name. Represents the outer self and initial impression you give to others.
Your Special Gift
The day of the month you were born. A specific gift or talent you brought into this life to support your Life Path.
