Numerology is based on mathematics and is the study of numbers and the occult way that they reflect character tendencies. This helps you with your strengths and weaknesses and gives you an insight into the personality of others. It's believed that the origin of numerology is either with Pythagoras, the Greek mathematician (569-470 B.C) or even earlier still in the 'Jewish Kabbalah'.
The basis of numerology is eleven numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, and 22. You can reduce the numbers in your name or birthdate down into these eleven numbers to make a numerology chart.
The four main types of Numerology readings are –
1. Your Life Path Number which is based on your birthdate.
2. Your Expression Number which is based on the letters of your full name given at birth.
3. Your Soul Urge Number which is based on a reduction of the vowels in your full birth name.
4. Your Destiny Number which is based on a reduction of the consonants in your full birth name.
