Numerology: numbers, letters and a destiny

Historical Origin of Numerology

Numerology is part of the cultural and historical heritage of the European civilization. It was codify by the Greek mathematician and philosopher Pythagoras in the 6th century B. C., although it’s origin seems to go back even further. The Greek Pythagoras, father of multiplication tables, was the first to show that each number contained symbolic and psychological characteristics. So, the number 1 represents the beginning, the initiative and the pride. It is the symbol of individuality, masculine willingness and self-assurance whereas the number 2 evokes unity, cooperation, gentleness and receptiveness. Thanks to Pythagoras work, it was possible to refine the analysis which leads to modern Numerology. This approach allows the understanding of the psychological characteristics contained in each name, by quantifying and studying the hidden music or vibration, thanks to a symbolic letter-number correspondence. Numerology is the "science" of letters, numbers, cycles, vibrations and symbols giving interesting information on psychology and human behavior. Today, scientists show a growing interest in the use of vibrations and frequencies. Chronobiology, radio, television and x-rays are some examples. Physicians have learnt that material previously thought to be inert, has it's own identity defined by it's internal vibrations. Life is a vibration and all that vibrates has a specific signature or hallmark.

How does it work ?

What characterizes a person the most ? The name of course, as well as the date of birth. There are no people with the same characteristics. You are completely unique. But a name is not only a simple arrangement of letters, it is also an impression, a rhythm, a sort of music. We all recognize words, according to their content and also the tone of the voice, a power which can be soothing, stimulating or destructive. So why refuse if only a part of this power to the name we have been given at birth.

You don't expect to have the same behavior as other people and you are right. Each name has different vibrations, it's own potential and therefore, a particular impression to which one can be more or less sensitive to.

Numerology needs simply the full name at birth and the date of birth. This makes it particularly practical and precise, while often giving a surprising approach to the functioning of the human. The purpose of Numerology is to analyze the impression that a name gives off. This analysis allows to find out the four major facets of a personality type which are completed by nearly twenty minor aspects. The date of birth undergoes a similar break up. It gives information which has more to do with the future and the life path in other words the major currents, influences that we can expect to meet during our life and that will condition us more or less deeply.

Major facets of the personality

The vibrations contained in your name constitutes a kind of mold that casts your personality. In other words, makes it easier for a specific type of behavior to be expressed. Of course, there are other factors that could offer an explanation of the personality, such as genetic inheritance and the individual's education (but all are very subjective compared to what numerology offers). Not every one will be cast in this vibratory mold. Most of us (eight out of ten people) will naturally adopt the orientations given by the hidden music of our name and date of birth. The understanding of these vibrations allows us to discover the great axis of the personality, including someone new in our life.

First of all, a distinction should be drawn between the family circle and the so-called larger social circle. Obviously we do not behave the same way with close relatives, and friends as we do with others. The vibration of the first name describes our behavior with intimates while the full name, at birth, determines our behavior in the social circle. We discover that our social personality is made up of the assembly of three mainstays i.e. "who are you?" (our usual behavior called The Expression number), "what do you like?" (our tastes called The Aspiration number). The third "pillar" is called The Intimate number. In case of adversity, conflict, or strong upset, the individual calls upon that part of the personality to manage the increased stress caused by the situation or incident. Then the defensive part of the personality is revealed. Everyone has their own reaction to stress and it is better to know it in advance. If you wish, you can decode your own name on the A.F.D.N. website (Association for Digital Numerology).

You are now aware of the impact that a well chosen name can have on your own behavior as well as on the image you give to other people.

Numerological breaking up of the name

Every name has a specific code, and Numerology is the science that deciphers this code. In this way, each letter is linked with a number from 1 to 9 : A, the first one, is linked to the number 1, B to the number 2, ..., I to 9, J to 1, etc. The numbers contained in a name can be added and the total is decomposed by a specific reduction : 24 becomes 2 + 4, in other words 6. The purpose of Numerology is to analyze the impression that a name gives off thanks to a procedure which allows us to break it up into unit vibrations (according to a base of nine vibrations). After that, you just need to add up the different numbers, according to the numerological rules, to obtain the final vibration which will have a precise signification on a part of your nature. The full name and the date of birth are used to trace the psychological portrait of an individual, to understand his/her motivations and to determine the great lines of his/her near and far future. Numerology offers an easier access deep within oneself, to realize better your potential and to understand the rhythms that rule your life.

6 is typically the number that characterize pleasant or obliging people. This is exactly the type of vibration that suits a gentleman like Roger Moore. The connection is enough disconcerting to take a closer interest in this subject.

The analysis of a name allows us to find out the four major facets of a personality type which are completed by nearly twenty minor aspects. The date of birth undergoes a similar break up. It gives information which has more to do with the future and the life path in other words the major currents or influences that we can expect to meet during our life and that will condition us more or less deeply. The numerological forecasts can concerns the great cycles of life as well as the year, the month and can be extended even to the day.

A subtle correspondence between letters, numbers and personality

1 (corresponding to A, J, S, ç, é, ê, è) is the first number, the beginning of everything. It is upright and proud, like the head of the line, it is masculine (Yang), alone and autonomous. The number 1 is willing, authoritative and has self-confidence... It is the symbol of individuality.
2 After the previous period of assertion, the 2 (corresponding to B, T, K, ö) tries now to maintain the union, looks for collaboration or friendship. 2 forms a couple, a duality. It expresses interiorization, imagination and reproductive power. It is also a little uncertain. It is the symbol of the relationship, the association, it is feminine (Yin), the second pole, a receptor rather than an emitter.
3 After the period of union, the 3 is now the expression of the relationship between 1 and 2, in other words, creation, children, the fruit of their union (C, L, U, ù, û). It is the search for unity, balance in creativity, exteriorization, expression and joy of living. It is the symbol of the trilogy that exists in all civilizations (The Father, The Son and the Holy Ghost ; Osiris, Isis and Horus ; Past, Present and Future).
4 Symbol of the square, the four elements (Fire, Earth, Water and Air), the 4 seasons. This number (letters D, M, V) refers to stability, order, work and concrete action. It is a feminine number, symbolizing the home and it's construction (4 walls). However, this number is a little restrictive in the material area.
5 This number refers now to the desire to travel and have adventures out of the house (4). It is the 5 senses that allow one to experiment (letters E, N, W, î, ë). It is the search for the new, for variety and pleasure... Five is very energetic, has a very lively mind, but is also unstable. Semantically, it symbolizes free-will.
6 After this period of adventure, the 6 aspires now to calm and comfort (letters F, O, X, ô, ä). It is the number of love, harmony, conciliation and comfort. Graphically it is all curves ; the 6 rounds off the angles. Six symbolizes flexibility, beauty and a certain attraction for the noble soul. The 6 has a family sense, it is generous and wants to give pleasure to the whole world, which can sometimes be complicated. Six is full of resources and gifted with intuition as the 2. The graphic symbol of 6 shows the main circle in the lower part contrary to the 9 and thus indicates an activity more to do with feelings, matter and sensuality rather than the mental or philosophical aspirations.
7 After the state of responsibilities and sentimental harmony, the 7 looks now for wisdom or intellectual work (letters G, P, Y). It's vertical stem which is a little tilted, folds under the weight of it's horizontal mental bar. Contrary to 1, it's stability does not come from being vertical but from it's balance. 7 symbolizes the balance which is necessary between the mental and the deep self, between the Yin and Yang. 7 is not very interested in material things, it likes to adopt an attitude of retreat for it's favorite activity : reflection and seeing things clearly.
8 After the state of wisdom acquisition (7), the 8 wants now to use it's power and intelligence, to confront with the material world in order to achieve great things, to earn money (letters H, Q, Z, ü). Overflowing with dynamism after the semi-retirement in previous period, 8 needs a lot of space to be comfortable, to give itself new challenges but also to express it's protective kindness. Contrary to 1 who is ambitious and always ready to belt along, 8 knows how to put itself in the middle of the road, to use the space and control the speed with more maturity than 1. Eight is very powerful in it's success as well as in failures, because it knows how to get back on it's feet quickly. Besides it's demanding aspects, the bond between the two circles it has graphically, symbolizes difficulties with inner communication, between reason and the heart.
9 is the last figure. It symbolizes outcome (I, R, à, â). In 9, you harvest what you have sewn previously. It's positive aspects are idealism, humanism, with openness on the world (tolerance, new way of life or of thinking) but it can also have moments of inner tension, jolts, breaks, the price to pay after all the previous bad actions. 9 finishes the present cycle and prefigures the following. The 9th month of pregnancy will end gestation and announce the birth of a child. Nine is synonymous with sensitivity and altruism. Graphically, 9 symbolizes a circle in the upper part which indicates an activity supported more in the mind rather than matter area.

Numerology needs simply the date of birth and full name. This makes it particularly practical and precise, while often giving a surprising approach to the functioning of the human. The interest of this science is to bring a good understanding of the vibrations that you will meet during your life, this is so that you can make the most of the advantages and avoid the excesses.
