Numerology: how to Calculate and Interpret Your Destiny Number Based on Your Birth Date
The Origins of Numerology
Numerology has very ancient roots. What we know is that its origin and spread can be traced back to the Chaldeans, an extremely enlightened people who thrived more than five thousand years ago in the Mesopotamian region. The Chaldeans contributed to the development of many disciplines that are still relevant today, including numerology, astronomy, and astrology.
However, the most famous name associated with the spread of Western numerology, better known as Pythagorean numerology, is that of the philosopher and mathematician Pythagoras.
Numerology is based on the correlation between numbers and their symbolic meanings: they describe human behavior, predispositions, innate talents, but also shadow areas and conflicts.
Unlike in mathematics, where numbers represent a quantity, in numerology they represent a quality. Each number is, therefore, an archetype and, as such, contains and holds universal information. The fascinating and highly useful aspect of this discipline is that, over the centuries, it has evolved and intertwined with many other fields, including psychology.
Thus, by reading the birth date, it is possible to describe not only the individual’s story in its many nuances but also that of their family system!
Through the birth date, we can determine the destiny number.
According to Pythagoras, this number describes the role the soul chose before being born into this plane of existence. It indicates our life purpose, the methods, and the path to follow to achieve our fullest potential. Knowing the destiny number helps us understand our innate predispositions and the types of challenges we will encounter along our journey.
How to Calculate the Destiny Number
Exaple :
25/10/1972 becames 2+5+1+0+1+9+7+2= 27= 2+7=9
If the result is 11, 22, 33, or 44, these are considered master numbers. In this case, you should take into account both the master number and its reduction: 11 reduces to 2, 22 becomes 4, 33 reduces to 6, and 44 becomes 8.
Exaple :
17/04/1992 becomes 1+7+4+1+9+9+2 = 33 = 3+3 = 6.
In this case, I will consider both the energy of 33 and 6.
Why are both considered? These four numbers are defined as "master numbers" because they have a higher vibration, but they are not always experienced as such. This depends on the personal work each individual undertakes on themselves. For this reason, I always recommend considering both results.
