What is Numerology?

Each day, we are exposed to numbers. We have phone numbers, birthdates, even our financial information is driven by numbers. Numerology is the study of the numbers in our lives and how they affect us. A student of Numerology uses the letters in a word, such as a full name, or a birth date and reduces that to a single number. That number tells them certain things about the person's character, what strengths and weaknesses they possess; it can even be used to predict their future. Numerology is often closely associated Astrology as astrologists assigned the numbers 0 through 9 to each celestial body in the solar system and each number has its own set of values.

Numerology has been around for thousands of years. The Egyptians and Babylonians both used it over 10,000 years ago. Pythagoras, a mathematician whose theories are still in use today, is believed to have official organized Numerology in Greece over 2,500 years ago. He held the view that math concepts were easier to regulate and classify than physical ones. Others beliefs and writings important i n the development of Numerology were early Christian mysticism, the Chinese Circle of the Dead, the Kabbalah, and the Indian Vedas. At the beginning of the 20th century, L. Dow Balliet published the first book about Numerology, beginning what is known as the modern phase of Numerology and interest in it grew over the next few decades. Recently, a revival of interest in Numerology has occurred and many people are learning how numbers might affect them.

Although methods may vary, typically a numerologist reduces a word or number using a procedure called digit summing. If the numerologist is dealing with a number, such as a birth date, they add up all the numbers. If the sum is two or more digits, then those numbers are added until there is a single digit left. When dealing with a word, such as a name, each letter of the alphabet is assigned a number. For example, A =1, B = 2, C = 3. Then the same steps as above are followed - the numbers are summed until one digit remains. Some numerologists will not break numbers that total 11, 22, or 33. These are known as master numbers and are considered to have higher vibrations as than the numbers they would create if digitally summed.

Below is a brief definition of each number:

One - Because it is the first number, one is seen as having great power. Usually seen as male, one can be happy, loving and dynamic while also being alone and egotistical.

Two - Associated with female energy, two often represents partnerships and interacting with others. It can also stand for the polar opposites of things such as black and white or good and evil. This number is best symbolized by the Chinese symbol Yin-Yang.

Three - Three is often related to learning through life experiences. It is often considered lucky and magical. It can mean both wisdom and understanding, yet also be foolish and negative.

Four - The first composite number (the first number to be created by multiplying numbers other than one and itself), four is associated with the four cardinal points (North, South, East and West), the four Gospels of the Bible, and time (four seasons, roughly four weeks in each month). It is a homonym for the Chinese word for death, therefore; s ome hospitals do not have a fourth floor.

Five - Five is related with the five senses (smell, touch, taste, hearing, and sight) and often represents service to others as well as openness to new experiences, but it can also represent an addictive personality.

Six - The number six relates to beauty and often helps in building relationships. It is believed to hold charm, sensuality, and diplomacy. Six is also considered the mother/father number.

Seven - A spiritual number, seven can be both dreamy and spiritual while also being deceptive and insincere.

Eight - Eight represents hard work and life lessons. Because of that, eight is seen as seeking financial and material success, but is also associated with the hardships encountered while seeking both.

Nine - A sacred number, nine is viewed as a humanitarian number and holds mystical significance due to the nine-month gestational period for humans.

Numerology has been around for thousands of years. As with Astrology, some see Numerology as an occult science with little meaning, while others see it as a viable way to help them understand themselves and the world around them.

Astrology

In Astrology, luck is preordained, simply put, some people are just born lucky. Of course, to believe, or not believe in Astrology is the prerogative of every thinking individual and just as in the case of other disciplines, in Astrology too, there are those practitioners who are proficient in their area of expertise and those that need to hone their skills.

Reincarnation is a principle that is fundamental to Hinduism. According to this belief, the course of any individuals life, is the sum total of that persons Karma, from previous births. All mortals must therefore follow the cycle of birth and rebirth, till a stage of, Atam Gyan, or enlightenment is reached. As a result of this cycle, the birth chart that one inherits is considered to be the resultant of ones actions from previous lives. Therefore, in Astrology, a horoscope is considered to be a map, which identifies positive elements one can take advantage of to attract those golden opportunities people call good luck.

Although, there are several forms of Astrology, the predominantly practiced forms are, as Western Astrology, Vedic Astrology or 'Jyotish' and Chinese Astrology, as a search on any Internet Search Engine will reveal. Most people still think that Astrology is all about your Sun Sign, however, true Astrology is not what you see in newspapers and magazines, as these readings are generic and are too general in nature to be of any purposeful value.

Vedic Astrology is defined as a mathematical study of the motion of the planets and constellations, for the purpose of drawing a horoscope. Analysing the positions and characteristics of the planets in a particular horoscope, allows Astrological predictions, of future events to be made. Vedic and Western astrologies share most of their b asic concepts, such as the signs, planets, and houses, as well as their general interpretive meanings. The fundamental difference between the two lies the measurement of the zodiac.

Vedic Astrology uses the sidereal zodiac, in which the stars are considered to be the fixed background against which the motion of the planets is measured. Western Astrology uses the tropical zodiac, where the motion of the planets is measured against the position of the Sun on the Spring equinox. Sidereal Astrologers claim their approach is more in keeping with the ancient traditions of the subject. When the vernal point was first defined in the 2nd Century as 0 Aries, the tropical and sidereal zodiacs would have shown no difference. The precession of the equinoxes, a phenomenon know to the ancients but forgotten by Western astronomers during the Dark Ages, meant that the Western zodiac based on the calendar became out of step with the heavens. Western Astrologers have never done a catchin g up exercise and many still do not fully understand the implications of their error.

Astronomers as well as tropical and sidereal Astrologers still base their measurement of the sky on a zero point taken as the position of the vernal equinox on the ecliptic. This has the same significance in the sky as the prime meridian on the Earths globe, i.e. it is the zero point of a 360 degree arc which is used to give a location for any object in the sky known as right ascension. In the same way as longitude (and latitude) give a position on the Earth.

Sidereal Astrologers add a correction to this point to allow for the precession of the equinoxes. They do this so that the zodiacal signs used in their Astrology coincide with the constellations of stars to which they refer. This correction is called the ayanamsa and different sidereal Astrologers use different precise values. This value is usually around 24 degrees at the present time and is constantly increasing as the eq uinoxes precess.

About 2,000 years ago, the two zodiacs were in approximate agreement and the vernal equinox fell at the start of the constellation Aries. Sidereal Astrologers see the failure of most Western Astrologers to relate their work to the actual heavens which they interpret, as an opportunity for critics of Astrology to denigrate the subject.

Science and Astrology are based on two diametrically opposed points of view. Everyday, modern science makes new discoveries about the Cosmos, while the knowledge that gives us Vedic Astrology is based on the ancient belief that, all that exists has already been discovered and that this knowledge is contained in the ancient scriptures. However, the correlation between Astrological predictions and real life events is what makes the existe nce of Astrology undeniable. The term 'Vedic Astrology' was introduced by American Astrologers in the 1980s and 1990s. 'Vedic' refers to the Hindu holy texts, known as 'Vedas'. This form of Astrology is also known as 'Indian ' or 'Hindu' Astrology. In the end, however, all of these words are English. In the ancient Indian language of Sanskrit, 'Vedic Astrology' is referred to as 'Jyotish', which means the 'Science of Light.'

Time and space are concepts that are central to Vedic Astrological calculations. In ancient times Vedic Astrologers used the following units of time:

Vipal = 4 sec, Pal =24 sec, Ghari = 60 Pal, or 24 min and Ansh, 30 Ansh = 1 Month.

Today, Vedic Astrologers use modern, metric time units to forecast their predictions and with the help of sophisticated comput er software, it is possible for an Astrologer to accurately cast the horoscope of any person, born at any location. Once a horoscope has been cast, an Astrologer will usually analyse the following aspects:

Character and Personality Profile
Love and Relationships
Health
Money
Friend & Family
Destiny, or Fate in General

However, it is also possible to find the answer to a particular question by employing Prasha Shastra, or Horary Astrology, by casting a horoscope specifically in relation to when the question was asked. The results of such readings, usually take the form of a simple, Yes or No.

Astrology, be it Eastern or Western, is extremely vast and to explore every aspect of this fascinating subject would be quite beyond the scope of this article, not to mention this writers capabilities. Never the less, I hope that by scratching the surface, some of the mysteries shrouding Astrology have been lifted.

Native American Astrology: The Hawk (March 21 April 19)

The Hawk is the first Sign of the Native American Astrology, it heralds spring and the end of winter. If you are born under this Sign, you were born at the Time of Awakening.

Hawks have many of their own peculiarities and distinctions. For instance, if you're a Hawk, the direction that best suits you is north east. The East wind carries good tidings for you and your traditional totem animal is the falcon (or more popularly now, the raven).

The element that you're most closely connected to is fire. Hawks often possess a powerful and intense personality marked by a recurrent habit of spontaneous activity. This spills over into their love lives, where Hawks are firey, passionate and spontaneous.

Emotionally, Hawks have a tendency to be both fast and varied. Getting off to a new start is often a constant theme shared by those under this Sign.

Gracious, adventuresome and ready to try new things, Hawks make for fun friends. But watch out, behind their sun ny smiles and pleasant manners lurk less desirable qualities like impatience, a boastful attitude, and a leaning toward egocentricity.

Often aspiring towards leadership roles and chances to become initiated in small, powerful circles, in truth what Hawks truly seek is knowledge through experience.

But, in order to have success in particular endeavors, or just in life in general, Hawks must learn to develop patience, sympathy and perseverance. They should also be sure to avoid intolerance, vanity and arrogance whenever possible.

When it comes to relationships, Hawks work best with the Salmon (July 22 - August 21) or the Owl (November 23 - December 21) Signs.

Your best day is Tuesday. Daily, you're best hours fall between 3 and 5 am. Because you are much more of a morning person than many others, you should save your earnings for relaxation!

Elvis The King of Numerology?

Everyone knows that Elvis Presley was The King. But did you know that he was a Numerologist?

It's true. Elvis carried three books with him wherever he went, and one of those three was a book about Numerology the science of Numbers. That very book was recently sold on ebay for a cool $14,000!

Whoever bought the book, probably did so because of the fact it once belonged to a music ledgend. But the value of the information contained within it is worth even more than the price they paid, if they study and use it.

Numerology is the metaphysical science of Numbers. In the same way that astrology is related to astronomy, but on the metaphysical plane, so Numerology is related to pure mathematics.

The subject was first made popular by Pythagoras, but it's likely that it's older even that that.

So what is Numerology all about, and what use is it?

Well the basic premise is that Numbers are symbols for metaphysical energies, that is to say, the universal energies that are present everywhere in the world.

Because these eneregies are ever present, and connect everything (including time and space), and because everything can be represented by Numbers, Numerology gives us the power to use Numbers to find hidden meanings in everything, and even to look into the future or the past.

Sound complicated? It's actually pretty simple when you start looking at it. For example, one very common calculation is a person's Life Path number. This number is derived from a basic calculation on a person's date of birth. The result tells you certain common traits and characteristics about that person, in a similar way to their star sign in astrology.

The real power of Numerology though, is when you take that Life Path number and link it to other dates such as today's date, or even a date in the future. With further calculations, it's possible to determine what the future holds for that person on the date in question.

Whole Numerology charts of a person's life can be built up in this way, giving a sort of roadmap for life.

There's almost no limit to what we can find out using Numerology. Elvis certainly knew that, and it's why he kept his Numerology book with him all the time. His understanding of Numbers undoubtedly helped him on his tremendous rise to fame.

Our Destiny is in the Planets and Stars

As we grow in awareness of who and what we are, we start to become aware of the influence of the Planets and Stars on the Flow of Our life. For thousands of years people have been aware of the subtle effect of the Planets in Our solar system and their influence on Our moods and Destiny.

Astrologers have followed the movement of the Planets and their relationship to events in Our life. This knowledge has led to the creating of Astrology, a system to predict future events in Our life from the position of the Planets at Our birth.

If you look into the Kabbalah system of knowledge an ancient Jewish mystical tradition you Will see that each heavenly body is given the name of an archangel and we can call upon their influence to bring changes in Our life.

Each planet is known for its qualities: Venus the planet of Love, Mars the planet of War, and so on. These influences set a direction, which is the Natural Flow of life. But it is not fixed, and in ever y moment of Our life, we can use Our Free Will to create Our own future and Destiny.

What I am bringing out is the multi-dimensional nature of being human. There are many Forces interacting with Our body each and every day. The energy field of Our body is like a Cosmic computer interpreting these influences and always aiming to reach a Balance.

We can always use Our Free Will to shape these influences and, using Our imagination, create a different dream or path to follow.

You are always given a choice to go with the Flow of life or create something different, something new, and Flow yOur energies in a different way. Neither is right or wrong, they are just different paths to walk.

Lots of people use gemstones or crystals to enhance the influence of a certain planet. The chakras, the energy vortices of the body, work like radio tuners picking up the energy that is being radiated by the Planets, each tuning in to its distinct frequency.

It is good now and again to just relax and let the mind and the body come to peace within themselves, either through meditation or something as simple as fishing or knitting.

As we let go of Our ego controlling everything, Our energies Naturally find their own Balance and we become more alert to these subtle influences which are permeating Our environment.

As we tune in to the Cosmic dance and align Our energies with that, we become more in tune with these subtle influences, so they start to support and coordinate Our life. We find that they are also giving the same massages to Our neighbOurs and we notice that synchronies start to happen.

We receive the support of the whole universe in every thought, word and deed that Flows from us. These synchronies are coordinated and we find that problems Naturally drop away from us, as we let go of controlling through Our ego. We start to be aware of the subtle energies and feelings that inspire us to action in a Natural way.

Self-awareness and becoming conscious of all these subtle influences are bringing a new, deeper connection to the oneness of the energies of which we are a part. As we tune in, so we feel the peace and harmony, and life Flows in a happier, more joyful way.

This is all about moving the awareness from the intellect, in the head, down to yOur feelings, in yOur heart; living yOur life from the love radiating from yOur heart in full awareness.
