Numerology
The symbology of numbers is an ancient art
with numerous roots, including the Egyptain and Arabic schools of magic,
continuing through to the kabbalists, and even to Alistair Crowley's numerology
which heavily borrowed from the kabbalists and the Egyptians.
However serious its origins, numerology
(along with astrology) has become an increasingly popular mass-maket clairvoyant
tool, palatable to those wishing for a quick-fix solution to understanding
the mysteries of life.
To find your number, add together the
numbers of your entire date of birth and reduce them to a single digit.
So if, for instance, you were born on the 5th of July 1961, add 5 plus
7 (July is the seventh month of the year) plus 1961, which equals 1973;
then add up the individual digits (1 plus 9 plus 7 plus 3 which reduces
to 20, which in turn reduces down to 2 (2 plus 0).
Here is a brief summary of the nine numerology
types.
1.
Intelligent, creative and unique - can
be impatient. These people are learning independance in this lifetime.
Loyal and responsible, they can achieve greatness, but must overcome
their tendency to undermine their own confidence.
2.
The peacemaker, the conciliator, the one
who others turn to for wise advice. They are strong and independent, though
they are cautious at times as they fear making a wrong move. They are kind
and generous, but must learn to requlinquish the illusion of control. They
thrive near the ocean.
3.
Sociable and friendly, the Threes are
the wandering souls of numerology. They search for the inner meaning of
situations and are attracted to eccentricity. They can be cruel in their
dismissal of those they deem boring - they must learn to appreciate all
types of people and to express themselves more gently, without compromising
what they see as the truth.
4.
Analytical and razor-sharp of mind, these
people can be extreme - either negative and brilliant, or positive and
a genius. Because they do have excellent minds, they must be mindful of
treating people like numbers in a equation to be pushed around until the
right result is achieved. They can often be found in management or military.
Through perseverance they can achieve great results in their chosen field,
but they must also have an outlet for self-expression to avoid becoming
emotionally blocked.
5.
Charming and flirtatious, number fives
thrive in genial, harmonious atmospheres and cannot tolerate vulgarity.
They are generally optimistic and innovative thinkers. They bloom when
travelling and can be viewed as quite eccentric as they tend to have an
eclectic style and passion for difference. These people do not work well
in confined, repetitive, safe jobs; they need freedom and a degree of excitement.
They have a tendancy to be grumpy at times, and need a partner who will
not let them get the upper hand and thus let their tyrannical streak emerge.
6.
The sign of the counsellor, family person
and devoted partner. Sixes have high;y developed aesthetic sense and are
the type to whom other people feel they can take a problem and get a sympathetic
hearing. Despite their ability to counsel others, they are frightened of
difficulties in their own lives and need to overcome this tendancy as it
can make them weak and vacillating, agreeing for the sake of harmony and
swallowing their anger, which can lead to illness.
7.
Archaeology, philosophy and history appeal
to Sevens, as they love to delve into the unknown and are endlessly patient
when it comes to unearthing information. Their minds are well honed and
they are extremely patient. They can, however, be difficult in friendships
and in love due to their extreme privacy about their feelings. But if they
meet someone who appreciates their great qualities of intellect, understanding
and humanitarian values, they will be tender partners with a lot to give.
8.
Dominating and controlling, eights have
a good chance of becoming managers or field marshals, but do not always
lead terribly creative or fruitful personal working or personal lives.
But if they use their powers for good rather than for evil, they can be
staedfast, loyal and inspiring. Many women who are Eights become police,
or join the navy or army. They can be very blokey, and are immensely practical.
They are terrific at planning and building their own homes and can be strict
parents.
9.
These folks are deep! Nines cannot tolerate
flippancy and get annoyed at what they view as empty, soulless soical encounters.
They are often musicians, painters or artists of some sort, and they are
highly intuitive and spiritual. They are also judgemental and can be over-sensitive
to their surroundings. They must take care who they spend time with as
they ar physically highly tuned and can easily get sick. They crave passion
but they equally desire freedom, a difficult combination to make work.
They are often extremely generous, and over-indulge in alcohol and other
drugs.
Numerology
and the current year
Years also have a vibration. You
can discover your current year by adding together the day and month of
your birth and adding to that the current year. So if your birthday is
the 5th July, and it is 1998 (add 5 plus 7 (July is the seventh month of
the year) plus 1 plus 9 plus 9 plus 8 = 39, 3 plus 9 = 12, 1 plus 2),
this reduces to 3. See the guide below to find out what the current year
has in store.
1.
The beginning of a nine-year cycle; new
friends and dicoveries. Good for relationships and love, financially excellent
and travel id also at hand.
2.

attitude, great for partnerships and relationships and new homes.

you spend your energy carefully. Have a strong purpose and this year will
