Numerology and astrology form two ancient forms of divination, both of which impart insight into our personalities and life courses. Astrology is all about deciphering the power of planets and stars. Numerology deciphers the mystical properties attributed to numbers. When numerology and astrology are in tandem, they give proper understanding to the cosmic power shaping our lives.
The Foundations of Numerology
Numerology is the study of numbers and their vibrational energy. Each number carries a unique frequency that influences our personality and experiences. By analyzing your birth date and name, numerologists derive key numbers such as the Life Path Number, Destiny Number, and Soul Urge Number. These numbers offer insights into your purpose, strengths, and challenges.
Life Path Number: This number represents your personality core and the mission in your life. It is arrived at by adding the numbers of your birth date, bringing it down to a single digit. For example: 12/05/1990 → 1+2+5+1+9+9+0 = 27 → 2+7 = 9
Destiny Number: Derived from your full name, this number determines the course of life you are supposed to tread upon.
Soul Urge Number: Derived from the vowels in your name, this number reveals your inner desires and motivations.
Astrology and Planetary Influence
Astrology interprets the positions of celestial bodies at the time of your birth. Your sun, moon, and rising signs, along with planetary placements, create a unique astrological profile. Each planet governs different aspects of life—Mercury influences communication, Venus rules love and beauty, and Mars drives ambition and action.
How Numerology and Astrology Work Together
Whereas astrology tracks external influences and cycles, numerology opens the inner blueprint. In combining both, you will obtain a more holistic view of who you are and what the future holds for you. Example:
Life Path Number and Sun Sign: Your Life Path Number reflects your life’s purpose, while your Sun Sign highlights your core identity. If you’re a Life Path 3 (creative and expressive) and a Leo (dynamic and bold), you’re likely drawn to artistic pursuits.
Personal Year and Planetary Transits: Numerology identifies personal years that signify growth or challenge. When these coincide with major planetary transits (like Jupiter returns), transformative periods occur.
Destiny Number and Saturn Return: Your Destiny Number points to your long-term desires, while a Saturn Return typically occurs around ages 29-30, marking the time to start fulfilling your destiny.
