Surely you have heard about Numerology and you ask yourself: What is Numerology?
Numerology is a science that studies the meaning of numbers and their influence on everything around us. It teaches us to calculate our Personality Number, one the most important number in our Numerology Chart.
Your Personality Number
Determines which are the most prominent features of your personality; what people see when they know you; how they perceive your strengths and weaknesses, your attitudes and your aptitudes, the way you conduct yourself in your dealings with others.
This self-knowledge will allow you to build the foundations of your success; you can enhance those facets of your personality that increase the chances of achieving your goals, you can work in those areas that are stopping your development, improve your personal relationships, achieve the dream job.
There are endless possibilities that open up once you really know who you are and everything you are capable of achieving. Your Personality Number is calculated using the consonants of the name that was given to you at the time of your birth. You cannot use a nickname or use a new name in case you have changed your name at some point in your life.
The Pythagoras numerology system
Pythagoras developed a numerology system according to which each letter of the alphabet was associated with a certain number, between 0 and 9. Below we show you the table:
1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 |
A | B | C | D | E | F | G | H | I |
J | K | L | M | N | O | P | Q | R |
S | T | U | V | W | X | Y | Z | |
You must take into account the consonants of your first name, then those of your middle name and finally those of your last name and assign each one the corresponding number according to the table.
Then add the numbers assigned to the consonants of your first name and reduce the result to a single digit.
You continue doing the same procedure with the middle name and then do the same with the last name.
Finally, sum up those three digits and reduce this result again to a single digit and the number obtained will be your Personality Number. We will illustrate what has been explained with a practical example. Suppose your full name is Paul Arthur Miller, the procedure will be as follows:
First Name
P L
7 3
= 7 + 3 = 10
= 1 + 0 = 1
Middle Name
R T H R
9 2 8 9
= 9 + 2 + 8 + 9 = 28
= 2 + 8 = 10
= 1 + 0 = 1
Last Name
M L L R
4 3 3 9
= 4 + 3 + 3 + 9 = 19
= 1 + 9 = 10
= 1 + 0 = 1
Personality Number
1 + 1 + 1 = 3
The Personality Number will be 3.
