The mystical game played out between the numbers, alphabets, stars and planets have a magical influence in our lives, without most of us realizing its complete impact. Some of us, however, are tuned in to this cosmic game and realize the changes in our lives that take place accordingly. The study of astrology and numerology and its awareness among people, has helped to give us a better inkling about the effects of various numbers and planets in our lives. According to the study of these ancient subjects every living and inanimate object is ruled by a particular planet and the planets have been assigned specific numbers as well. According to a person's birth date, he or she also falls under the influence of these planets and numbers.



Astrology and numerology has been in use for thousands of years by different civilizations before falling prey to superstitious beliefs and practices. However, once again this ancient art is making its mergence and people are becoming aware of their true potential as a tool for guiding one's life. Both astrology and numerology have many distinct branches which require a varied set of skills and knowledge. It is the marriage of the various branches and streams of astrology and numerology that come together to create a blueprint for an individual's life. The roadmap thus created can help a person choose his path accordingly and achieve success or prevent failure as and when possible. It helps human beings in being forewarned and prepared rather than feeling sorry due to lack of information about the future course of life.

The planets and astronomical bodies such as the Sun, Moon, Jupiter, Saturn, Mercury, Venus, Mars and even the shadowy planets of Rahu and Ketu which are known as the dragon's head and tail, play a major role in influencing the events in everyone's lives. The planets of Pluto, Uranus and Neptune have also been included in the studies in the recent times. The numbers 1 to 9 are assigned to each of these planets and even zero is supposedly ruled by Pluto. The alphabets also have numerical values attached and with this assumption a person's name can add up to a particular number under the study of astrology and numerology. Some numbers and planets are considered favorable for a person while others may denote harmful effects on the individual.
