Introduction


Have you ever thought about the significance of the numbers that appear to you in your life, at any given moment? Numerology an ancient and mystical system, asserts that numbers hold profound meanings and play a crucial role in shaping our destinies. In this exploration, we'll unravel the enchanting world of numerology - a captivating art, that goes beyond mathematical calculations to unveil the secrets of the universe and our individual paths.


What is Numerology?


Numerology is the study of numbers, a metaphysical belief system that uncovers the mystical and divine meanings of numbers and they reflect certain aptitudes and character tendencies. It is understood that each number carries a unique, vibrational frequency and resonates with specific energies, influencing various aspects of our lives. Each letter also possesses a numeric value and provides a cosmic value. The sum of numbers in an individuals birthdate and the sum of value derived from the letters in the name gifted at birth, create an interrelation of vibrations.


As a result, these numbers reveal the character of a person, their purpose in life, what their motivators are, as well as where their talents lie. The roots of numerology trace back to ancient civilizations, including Babylon, Egypt, and China, where scholars and mystics recognized the symbolic power of numbers. Numerological experts also known as numerologists use the numbers to identify the best time for major moves and activities in life.



"Everything in this Universe is mathematically precise, and that each number has its own vibration, meaning and virtue." -Pythagoras

  1. Add the day: 12 which reduces to 1+2 = 3

  2. Add the month: (April) which is the 4th month of the year = 4

  3. Add the year: 1995 which reduces to 1+9+9+5 = 24, this reduces to 2+4 = 6

  4. Add the single digits together 3+4+6 = 13, this reduces to 1+3 = 4

  5. The Life Path Number is 4.
