Numerology is the study of numbers, and the occult manner in which they reflect and correspond to everything else in the whole cosmic plan. This is because numbers are the reliable language system through which the universe is made understandable, and thus the root numbers from 1 to 9 has a significant effect on everything around us, including we ourselves.

In numerology, each letter in the alphabet has a numeric value that provides a related cosmic vibration. The important sums in numerology to watch out for are the numbers in your birth date and the sum of the letters in the name; when these two are interrelated, they tell a wealth of information about the person. These numbers show a great deal about character, purpose in life, motivations, strengths, fears, talents, and many others. Experts in numerology use the numbers to determine the best time for major moves and activities in life. Numerology is used to decide when to invest, when to marry, when to travel, when to change jobs, or relocate. At best though, numerology offers a guide and a beacon to get us on the way; it doesn't dictate what will happen because at the end of the day, it is free will and bravery that matters.

Pythagoras, the Greek mathematician and meta physician of the 6th century B.C., is said to be the originator of much of what we call numerology today. The actual origins of numerology pre-date Pythagoras, the most popular being the very old Hebrew Kabbala. In the 20th century, the old science seems to magically reappear in the form of a series of books published from 1911-1917 by L. Dow Balliett and it was helped along in the 30s by Florence Campbell, and within the next few decades a wealth of literature was available to the public. Indeed, if you look at the past 9 decades, it would seem that the science has moved very rapidly. But perhaps all of this was known at a much earlier time, and it was just hiding from us for a while.

All the nine numbers in numerology have their own essence. Simply from a person's birth date stems all other important happenings of the past, present or the future that can be calculated through numbers. Nothing is beyond numbers and the stars, and in the believing heart.
