Have you ever noticed certain numbers keep showing up—like seeing 11:11 on the clock or being drawn to specific dates or birth numbers? That’s no coincidence. In the world of numerology, numbers are more than digits—they’re symbols of energetic vibration and spiritual insight.
In this post, we’ll explore what numerology is, how it works, and how you can use it as a tool for self-discovery, clarity, and life direction.
What Is Numerology?
Numerology is the ancient metaphysical study of how numbers influence our lives. Just like astrology uses the stars, numerology uses numbers derived from your name and date of birth to uncover your personality, purpose, and spiritual path.
Each number from 1 to 9 (plus Master Numbers 11, 22, and 33) carries a unique vibration and meaning.
How Numerology Works: The Basics
Most numerology readings start with two core elements:
1. Life Path Number
This number is calculated from your full date of birth and reveals your life’s purpose and overall journey.
Example calculation:
Birthday: June 19, 1990 → 6 + 1 + 9 + 1 + 9 + 9 + 0 = 35 → 3 + 5 = 8
Life Path Number = 8 (The Powerhouse, Ambitious Leader)
2. Expression/Destiny Number
This comes from the full name you were given at birth. It shows your talents, natural abilities, and life mission.
(Each letter corresponds to a number, e.g., A=1, B=2, C=3, etc.)
