WHAT IS NUMEROLOGY ?
Numerology is the science of numbers… a method of character analysis which uses the numbers of names and birth dates in an attempt to solve the age-old question “Who am I?”
Numerology can be used as a practical method of understanding your deeper nature; your talents and life goals; your hidden characteristics, opportunities and challenges. It offers insights and describes the cycles you experience during the course of your life and offers guidance in career, romance and prosperity. In short, numerology is a self-help tool, providing a way to gain greater insight and understanding into your inner being and true nature. There is recorded evidence of numerology’s use ten thousand years ago – it was in use in our ancient cultures of Greece, China, Rome and Egypt.
Numerology embraces the belief that the individual enters a given life by choice, at a certain time and into a certain environment, which will give him an opportunity to further evolve in consciousness. Numerology gives us an opportunity to be more aware of ourselves, the talents we have, and the pathway we choose to use these abilities.
Numerologists generally work with the numbers one to nine, plus the master numbers 11, 22 & 33 – together their meanings encompass all the experiences that life can present.
How can you benefit from Numerology ?
Numerology is primarily a self-help tool. It is a way to gain greater insight and understanding into you inner being and true nature. It reveals aspects of your character and personality in a way that is fresh and inspiring.
It gives you a new vantage point from which to look at yourself; one with greater distance and perspective than many other self-help systems. Self-knowledge is the key to success and freedom. Having a greater insight into your strengths and weaknesses will help you in every aspect of life.
Numerology also offers insights into various cycles, opportunities and challenges that you have already faced, or have yet to experience. In this respect alone, numerology provides you with a greater perspective on life; it helps prepare you for the future. It allows you to cultivate your strengths and to overcome your weaknesses.
The magic square on the tortoise’s back was called the Lo Shu grid. It was a perfect three by three magic square. Every row, horizontally, vertically, and diagonally, added up to fifteen.
In the Far East numerology is still done by using the original Lo Shu positions. Any 1s in the person’s full date of birth are placed in the bottom row centre. Any 2s are placed in the last of the top row and any 3s go in the start of the middle row.
Any 4s in the start of the top row, any 5s in the middle row, and any 6s in the last of the last row, any seven in the last of middle row, any eights in the start of bottom row and nines in the centre of the top row. The correct positions for each number are shown in Figure. (This is simply to show where each number goes). It is impossible to have a chart in which every single square is filled. Similarly, it is impossible for anyone who has ever lived to have a completely empty chart. Empty charts are waiting for people who have not yet come into the world. The chart only comes to life when a baby is born.
We will use the two examples to illustrate complete charts. The young man born on July 12, 1973, will have the chart that is shown in Figure. The 7 of July is placed in the last of middle row, as this is where any 7s go. The 1 and 2 from the 12th are placed in the centre of the bottom row and in the last of the top row respectively. The 1 from the 1973 is placed in the centre of the bottom row. The 9 is placed in the centre of the top row, the 7 in the last of middle row, and the 3 in the start of middle row.

Let’s try another example. This time we will use the lady born on February 29, 1944. The 2 from February is placed in the last of top row. Another 2 is then placed in the same square (from the 29th). The 9 from the 29th is placed in the in the centre of the top row. Finally the numbers from the year are put into position: the 1 in the centre of the bottom row, the 9 in the centre of top row, and the two 4s in the starting of top row.

All people born in the twentieth century will have at least one 1 and one 9 in their chart, but there is an almost limitless combination of the other numbers. Everybody born in the twenty-first century will have at least one 2 in their chart. You will find many similar charts, but it is unusual to find two identical charts except, of course, for people born on the exact same day.
The chart can be looked at in a number of different ways. The top row (made up of the numbers 4, 9 and 2) can represent the head of a person. The middle row (numbers 3, 5, and 7) represents the body. Finally, the bottom row (numbers 8, 1, and 6) represents the legs and feet.
Consequently, the top row is usually regarded as the Mental Plane. It encompasses thinking, creating, imagining, and analyzing.
| Mental |
| Emotional |
| Practical |
The middle row is called the Emotional Plane. After all, the heart is in the body. This plane includes spirituality, intuition, feelings, and emotions.
The bottom row is called the Practical Plane. This encompasses physical labor, the ability to be good with one’s hands, and the ability to be practical in everyday life. To use the head-legs analogy again, the feet are firmly placed on the ground in the Practical Plane.
The vertical rows are also interpreted. The first of these (numbers 4, 3 and 8) is the Thought Plane. This reveals the person’s ability at coming up with ideas, creating things, and carrying them through to fruition.
The middle vertical row (numbers 9, 5, and 1) is the Will Plane. This gives the determination and persistence to succeed.
The final vertical row (numbers 2, 7, and 6) is the Action Plane. This shows the person’s ability at putting their thoughts into action.
The three vertical rows make a natural progression. First of all, the person has to come up with an idea (Thought Plane). He or she has to have determination and persistence (Will Plane), otherwise the idea will never be acted upon. The planning is done at this stage. Finally, the person needs to be able to put the idea and the determination into action (Action Plane).
