Preface
D EM

By nature, man is curious to know about his unforeseen future. What is in store for his future? How will be the time for him in future? Will he ever be able to succeed in the task he has taken up? Which field should he choose in order to earn a lot of fame and fortune? These are some queries that always prick the human conscience. Numerology, since antiquity, had helped mankind to know the future events before hand.Numerology is a science of exploring hidden powers of numbers and their influence on human beings. Indians see numbers as symbols of certain types of cosmic powers. And they link them with spirituality. For example 0 is a number that encircles some part of the infinite universe. The inner part of it is separated from the vast outer space. This is similar to human body where the soul (Jeevaatma) resides. A human being always feels that he is separate and the outer universe is different from him. He confines his soul with his present body and thinks that he and the body is one and the same. Thus he has forgotten the truth that he is the all-pervading God. This is called cosmic delusion (Maaya). So 0 represents the cosmic delusion. This means 0 gives false impression that whatever is not there, is there. Let us add 0 after 1, then that 1 appears as 10. This means 1 is assuming a different form, because of 0. This is same as the super-soul appearing in different forms because of Maaya. Numerology is the study of the symbolism of numbers. It is used to determine a person’s personality, strengths and talents, obstacles, inner needs, emotional reactions and ways of dealing with others. Whether you use numerology to examine your life, take advantage of unexplored opportunities, confirm your talents or simply figure out where to go next, numerology can be a penetrating tool that helps you understand yourself and loved ones better. Numerology presents the whole picture, revealing all the diverse parts of your personality and how they

come together to create the person you are. With this complete view, you are able to make the most of your strengths. Numbers are incredibly powerful tools in general, but especially for the Vedic system of foretelling important personality aspects and events in one's life. Numbers are interpreted according to their correspondences to the planets and years of observing the effect of numbers on the life of humans. To be sure, whether you are consulting Vedic name numerology, or using a Western system of number interpretation...the power of numbers is undeniable. Indeed, science maintains that all of life can be reduced to a series of ones and zeros, and the entire universe can be deciphered by means of numerological formulae. Although the power of numbers, and their potential to reveal our deeper personality traits is remarkable...it's important to rely on our own discernment, when reading our own name numerology. In other words, be both a mystic and a scientist when consulting your name numerology. Recognize the magic in numbers while at the same time incorporate common sense in your interpretations. Everything in the universe vibrates at its own particular frequency. By finding the vibration rate of any object, you can establish the qualities and energies associated with it. By applying the principles of numerology -- and using only a name and birth date as the basic data -- you can determine the major frequencies of a person. A numerological analysis of the calculated frequencies provides significant information on personality and character. Each number has a different vibration, and can therefore give us a better understanding of one’s pathway, and the circumstances which surround our life. It can direct one to the career best suited to each person, and gives us the opportunity to be more aware of the talents we have and of the pathways we choose to utilize them. It also tells us of the compatibility we have with another, especially who would be most compatible as a partner for you. It tells you how you may best help your family and friends, due to the numbers which control their lives. Each number is influenced by a different planet in our Solar System. Each letter of the alphabet vibrates to a given number,

1 – 9, which is also the span of our life cycles. These numbers under which we were born, plus the numbers in our names, are the tools we are given in order that we may accomplish our mission in life, and enable us to work through all our Karmic Lessons. The Vibratory Power of each number affects us in both Positive and Negative ways. The symbol meanings that surround the nine whole numbers are the centre of Numerological divination. Numbers integrate into many other divinity methods, such as the Tarot. Numbers can represent stages in the unfolding of any process, and can be keyed to planets, days, colours, qualities, character types and Tarot images. Numbers are also keyed to letters of the alphabet, so words and names can be analyzed. Numerology brings insight, wisdom and the ability to understand ourselves and others. Every number will have mental and spiritual plane represented by its top half part and the material worldly affairs are represented by its remaining bottom part. When we connect a series of points in a single direction, then it becomes 1. Thus 1 represents single-mindedness in achieving the objectives, creativity, and starting new ventures. Its pillored appearance represents independence and leadership qualities. 2 is round shaped at top. It is a open 0. That means there is no complete Maaya at mental level. There is a scope to receive and release new ideas and concepts. So 2 represents flexibility and diplomacy. The bottom of 2 shows a horizontal line that is attached firmly to ground. This means if these inventive ideas are properly used, the person can achieve highest success in material world. Take 3, it is having open rounded ends at its top as well as at bottom. This shows continuous receiving and releasing of new ideas and involving into new developments. It represents ambition, self-expression and idealism. This number makes a person to reap material benefits from his intelligence and spiritualism. Just close the rounded ends of 3, you will get 8. It represents Maaya at both the levels. The person is wrapped by complete ignorance of what is happening outside his perception. He cannot come out of the clutches of karmic forces. The balanced loops of 8 represents balanced nature, patience and discipline. Contemplate on 4, it is looking like a person sitting stable, attached to ground. The triangle above represents fire that promotes a strong desire for

material benefits. The person will become materialistic. 4 may also represent unconventional behaviour. 5 is a quiet different number, with flat head and open rounded bottom. Flatness represents stability. The person would reach a clear and stable mental state which he uses in receiving and processing the material in worldly projects. 5 is a sign of dynamism and communication. This number makes one a successful business man. 7 is having similarity with 5, in such a way it is having a flat head and weak base. 7 indicates high level of spiritualism and sensitivity. But the person will not use his mental and spiritual stability to achieve material means. 6 is a number that is fully rounded at the bottom. It looks like a pregnant lady. It symbolises pregnancy, artistic and feminine qualities. The 0 formation at bottom indicates Maaya that pushes the person in love with family- related matters and enjoyment. 9 is a number that is nothing but inverted 6. It represents love to the world. The 0 formation at top, overshadows a person’s intelligence with Maaya. The person cannot think but work. So there is a conflict. He would be quick in actions and courageous. While the numbers have the above significance, each number has been attached to a particular planet, the reason is certain planet produces the similar vibration of a certain number. Thus 1- Sun, 2- Moon, 3- Jupiter, 4- Uranus or Rahu, 5- Mercury, 6- Venus, 7- Neptune or Ketu, 8- Saturn, and 9Mars. Number 0 should not be attached to any planet, since it is the root cause of all the numbers. It increases the strength of a number. The numbers have been attached to Alphabet also. 1- A,I,J,Q,Y. 2- B,K,R. 3- C,G,L,S. 4- D,M,T. 5- E,H,N,X. 6- U,V,W. 7- O,Z. 8- F,P. Now let us take an illustration. SWAMI VIVEKANANDA, a great saint of India, who shook the world by his philosophical teachings, was born on 12th January 1863. His Birth Number (Moolank) : 12 = 3. His Birth Compound Number : 12+1+1863 = 22. His Birth Single Number : 2+2 = 4. His Name Single Number : SWAMI VIVEKANANDA = 52 = 7. Vivekananda’s Moolank 3 and Name Number 7

represent that he is ambitious, versatile and a spiritual guru. His ambitions are more focused on service to poor and downtrodden as is shown by 4 in his Birth Single Number. He had unconventional and revolutionary ideas in reforming the society. His Birth Compound Number 22 shows that he is highly religious and inclined in purification of mind and soul. Moreover, his Birth Single Number and Name Numbers 4 and 7 are harmonious, thus making him a renowned person. Let us take only VIVEKANANDA= 37 which clearly shows that he is a spiritual guru. And 3+7 = 1 shows beginning of new ventures which is an indication of his great mission to bring moral and spiritual upliftment. So we can say that Vivekananda’s life would be greatly influenced by numbers 3 and 7 and their hormonics 9 and 2. In his case, 2 represents deep involvement in mental faculties like meditation and mantra japa.

He met his guru Sri Rama Krishna Paramhans in 1881 = 9 (His age: 18 = 9) He started his journey in search of truth in 1890 = 9 (His age: 27 = 9) He reached Kanya Kumari and visualized Divine Mother in 1892 = 2 (His age: 29 = 2) He participated in the Parliament of religions in Chicago in 1893 = 3 (His age: 30 = 3) He came back to India and started Rama Krishna Mission Association in 1897 = 7 (His age: 34 = 7) The saint left his body in 1902 = 3 (His age: 39 = 3). Astrology is in fact both an art and a science. It has, in turn, many branches and sub-branches- each equal in importance and accuracy. All of them have independent existence. Numerology or the astrology based on number system is one such branch of astrology. Numerology is an ancient Indian discipline, Not only the Number Zero, the whole Numeric system was given by Bharat i.e India . It is written on the pyramids of Egypt that the Egyptians had got the knowledge of Numerology from The Aryans of Bharat. In Ancient Egypt, numbers did not simply designate quantities but instead were considered to be concrete definitions of energetic formative principles of nature. The Egyptians called these energetic principles neteru (gods).

Astrologers believe that each number from 0 to 9 is ruled by a celestial body in our solar system. Numerology is an Ancient Indian science the predictions based on which have always proved cent-percent accurate. Use of Numerology particularly has grown in leaps and bounds for just one reason: in the predictions made with the help of Numerology, only the date, month and the year of one’s birth are all that is required. Precise knowledge of the time of birth and place are not required at all. Thus, all those people who don’t know the precise time of their birth can also learn important facts about their lives. Use of numbers is seen virtually in all walks of life. Two eyes, three tenses, three deities, three worlds, tenth worlds, tenth date, eighth month, one pair or two shoes are a few examples where we can see significant use of numbers. The science of making predictions on the basis of the numbers therefore is known as Numerology.

In Numerology, certain number has been fixed for each of the nine planets. In other words, each of the nine planets have been assigned a particular number. Some experts, however, do not allot Rahu and Ketu, any position in Numerology. Instead, they assign two numbers- one positive and one negative to the sun and the moon. The negative numbers assigned to the sun and the moon represent Rahu and Ketu respectively. The following table depicts the numbers assigned to the nine planets: SR. NO.

Introduction

The word Numerology comes from the Latin word “Numerus,” which means number, and the Greek word “Logos,” which means word, thought, and expression. Numerology, based upon the sacred science of numbers, is an advanced offshoot of the melodious rhythm of the mathematical precision that controls all creation. It in•uences every aspect of our life unconsciously or consciously whether we are aware of this or not. Numerology is the science and philosophy of numbers (1 to 9) where each number has its own strength, potential and challenge. The whole idea behind this is to know the hidden expression contained in these numbers so as to understand their relationship and progression in our numerology chart. This can help us in knowing the dif•culties we may have experienced in the past or under present circumstances and then working towards doing some inner work in our life for bringing harmony, peace and joy. The belief in Numerology is easier to understand when we put it into a context with realizing how the entire world revolves around numbers and mathematical equations. The most familiar form of numbers are natural numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. The numbers 1 to 9 can be called as unit numbers and the numbers from 10 onwards (up to 99) can be called as doubledigit numbers which denotes the fusion of two numbers however these can still be reduced to unit numbers, eg; 24 (2+4=6) is reduced to 6. Then, there are Master Numbers such as 11, 22, 33, 44 and so on which are never reduced to a unit number as they carry their own intensi•ed vibration and potency. Every number expresses its qualities in the form

of strengths and challenges. Therefore, no number is good or bad, lucky or unlucky and auspicious or inauspicious as each and every number is equally necessary and important, and each gives strength to the next one and takes what it needs from the one before. Numbers have two aspects viz; exoteric or external and esoteric or inner. In a nut shell, every number possesses its own unique quality and power. Our ancient seers believed that numbers symbolize divinity and however our mathematicians believed that study of numbers can possibly reveal the principles of creation and laws of time & space. Numbers can be seen as fundamental in art, poetry, architecture, music, and so on. The history of numbers is as old as the recorded history of man. Numerology was in use in ancient Greece, Rome, Egypt, China and India and is to be found in the ancient books of wisdom, such as the Hebrew Kabala. Most commonly used system for Numerology were developed by the Chaldeans, the Hindus, the Mayans, the Hebrews (Kabala), the Chinese (Book of Changes), and the work of Pythagoras, to name a few. The basic intent behind these systems originally was to understand the relationship between man and his god. Pythagoras, the old master philosopher and mathematician, who lived in the sixth century BC, propounded the theory that nothing in the universe could exist without numbers. He established a Mystery School in Italy when he was 52 years old. He was born in Greece and lived between 582 and 507 BC, much of his life spent in study and travel. His Mystery School taught esoteric knowledge, which included the secret of number and vibration. The knowledge was passed down by word of mouth and a few manuscripts. The academic teaching rested on a foundation of Mathematics, Music and Astronomy. Much of Pythagoras’ background in Egyptian philosophy and religion was based upon Number and Kabalistic principle. He postulated that the triangle was particularly important, as it was the •rst complete shape, and constituted a blueprint. Thus form is preceded by a blueprint, and each stage of this process is measured through numbers, hence nothing exists without numbers.

The art of Numerology has existed since the ancient discovery of mathematics. To this day, most cultures attach special meaning to certain numbers and their position in a sequence. As we have just seen, the Chinese I Ching describes the differences between even (earthly) and odd (heavenly) numbers. Numerology has also been used to correlate the signi•cance of numbers to an alphabet, giving each letter a numerical value. A well-known example is the Hebrew alphabet of twenty-two characters—the same as the number of trump cards in the Tarot deck. Because of the applicability of numbers to alphabets, numerologists are able to use words or names, in addition to numbers, to reveal divinatory meaning. There are three major forms of Numerology— Kabbalic, Chaldean and the Pythagorean. They can be used in any combination to produce a reading, but whatever system you prefer, I suggest using it consistently so as not to confuse yourself. The one you •nd that you are drawn to is good enough. Kabbalic Numerology—which is often used to interpret names—originally derived from Hebrew mysticism, is an outgrowth of the Hebrew alphabet with its twenty-two vibrations. Later it was adapted for the Greek alphabet, then the Roman alphabet. Thirteenth century Kabbalists believed that the Old Testament was written in a secret code inspired by God. They used Numerology as a tool to decipher this code. It also happens that twenty-two-base Numerology adds a signi•cant dimension to the interpretation of the twenty-two Trump cards of the Tarot deck. Chaldean Numerology has closer ties to Astrology, having originated in Mesopotamia, which was also the birthplace of Western Astrology. It is also related to the Vedic system of India, as well as the Kabbalah. The basis of Chaldean Numerology is that each letter has a unique vibration and is assigned a number from 1 to 8 based on its energetic quality. The number 9 is kept separate from the other numbers— except when it appears as a sum of vibrations—because it is considered the most sacred

number. In Chaldean Numerology, single digits reveal the outer nature of a person, while double digits describe inner qualities. The third and the most popular form of Numerology is the method developed by Pythagoras, the Greek mathematician and metaphysician of the 6th century B.C. Pythagoras is famous for his formulation of the Pythagorean theorem, which calculates the hypotenuse of a right triangle, a basic construct of modern geometry. According to legend, Pythagoras was the founder of Numerology and practiced it to de•ne the fates of individuals, predict the events of certain locations, and use name changing as a means to alter destiny. In the Pythagorean system, numbers were assigned to letters in the Greek alphabet based on their position in the sequence. Pythagorean Numerology generally uses both the name and the date of birth, and then examines the relationships between them, much like the Chaldean method. The basic vibrations are 1 through 9, and the master vibrations are 11 and 22, which are never reduced to a single digit. In the 1800s, when scienti•c discoveries regarding magnetism, light, and electricity were progressing rapidly, the idea that energy patterns of vibrations corresponded to numbers became popular. Overall, the use of Numerology for self-knowledge and divination has continued to blossom with undying popularity.
PHILOSOPHY BEHIND NUMEROLOGY The fundamental premise of Numerology is that, life and the Universe as a whole, is an orderly system and that numbers re!ect that orderliness. Numbers are by de•nition orderly. When we confront the question of Numerology, we are facing the same dilemma that we all face with the larger questions of life: Is there meaning and order to life, or is it purely a random and chaotic Universe? There are three possible answers to this question: the Universe is ruled by randomness and Chaos; the Universe is in•nitely orderly; or both randomness and orderliness exist.

Randomness is a state in which there is no order or larger meaning. Such a state of affairs would mean that the Universe is ruled by chance events and that there are no orderly laws governing the Universe. In fact, we know this premise to be untrue since the natural sciences such as Physics, Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry and Astronomy are all based on the orderliness even predictability of natural law. Moreover, if the Universe were ruled by unpredictable events, there would be no sustainable structure to it. On the contrary, the Universe not only maintains form and structure, it also changes in precise and orderly ways. We are continuously witnessing to this process of change: Day turns into Night and night turns into day; winter is followed by spring and summer is followed by fall; and apples grow on apple trees and •gs grow on •g trees and they never get confused. Orderliness can be seen in every aspect of existence, from the sub atomic world to the world of stars and galaxies. The gestation and birth of a child are also examples of remarkable orderliness: It still takes egg and sperm to produce an ovum, and nine months for a child to fully develop and to be born. The growth pattern of human has remained essentially the same, too: we are born nascent and grow young and through adolescence, puberty, adulthood, maturity and old age at which point we die. The arc of life is consistent and stable. This has been happening for about 2 million years, the length of time humans have inhabited the planet. If we look up at the stars and see the planets, we see a further example of great orderliness. In creation, there is no randomness a fact that is the basics for all physical sciences. Numerology is based upon this underlying unity, a unity that manifests itself in a very intimate way in all of our lives. Our names and dates of birth, for example, are connected with our deepest inner being in a way that the rational mind cannot immediately understand. The intuitive mind however, is capable of perceiving these relationships and of interpreting them to help us better understand our lives.

The act of giving something a name is not a super•cial or intellectual effort, but a re the essence of the thing we are naming. It comes out of our connection or our intuitive feeling of that thing. For example the word love with its special combination of vowels and consonants gives us a feeling of soothing and benign touch. Say it and you will feel that it embraces you gently and gives you the experience of its benevolent meaning. ects the Every word, in every language perfectly feeling and spirit of the thing that is named by the people who use that language. Some will argue that the words used to name things were originally chosen arbitrarily and then were integrated into our inner feelings. However, our understanding of sound comes from an archetypal and unconscious part of our being. It is intimately connected with our appreciation of music; no matter whether you are tone deaf or have perfect pitch, all of us have an inborn capacity to discern music from chaotic noise. Music is harmony and music is inside us. Nature, too, is •lled with events that have trained us to associate certain qualities with sounds: the clap of thunder, the woosh of a river or the whir of a bird in harmony comes the act of naming things according to our perception of their innate natures. This intuitive act is the source of language. All language emerge from and represent the natures of the people who use them. This is the source of Numerology. The Numerologists maintain that each of us carries the perfect name that ects our inner nature or being. That name is a collection of sounds, a melody, that in a very deep and perfect way is you or self.
CHARACTERISTICS OF NUMBERS Numbers can be seen as archetypes. They represent qualities that all of us possess in greater or lesser quantities. Each number has the archetypal quality. The Number 1 possesses aggressiveness or dynamism, for example versus

the passiveness and cooperation of Number 2. In this sense Numerology has much in common with mythology just as each of the Greek Gods possessed an absolute set of values, each number has a oneness of being. To further illustrate, the Number 1 embodies masculinity, a strong drive, individuality and determination. The Number 1 could never be confused with the Number 2, which has the qualities of sensitivity, feminity, cooperation and gentleness. Each Number is the counterpart or the opposite of the number next to it. The personality of the Number 1 is the opposite of the 2. In a different but no less profound way the 2 is the opposite of the 3, the 3 is the opposite of the 4, the 4 is the opposite of the 5 and so on. The personality of each number is so clear and de•ned that once you get to know the numbers, you will be able to predict each number’s response to any given situation. At the same time each number possesses nuances within its •eld of characteristics that are enhanced or diminished due to its place in the chart. Also, certain numbers complement other numbers; the right combinations will enhance and support each other. In this way, they may also limit one another’s effects. If placed in very prominent positions within the chart such opposites can be very dynamic but can ict. Numbers are so much like also represent internal people that getting to know them is a continuing process. It would be impossible to put down all the characteristics, qualities and idiosyncracies that each number possesses. For example 1’s like to take adventurous pursuits—they swing their arms, appear very macho and seem ready to take control of any situation and 3’s are jovial and have a bounce to their walk. Also, 7’s are big readers; 4’s know the value of money but 8’s know how to earn large sums and spend them, too. These are some of the less obvious characteristics with which you will become familiar by studying this book and you can relate the information to your own life and to that of others. Every human characteristics, quality or idiosyncracy is represented in one of the nine cardinal numbers just as

the human DNA molecule is made up of four basic nucleic acids that are arranged in a complex and unique spiralling ladder, so too, do the nine cardinal numbers represent nine archetypal human qualities that are also present in each of us. These nine archetypes are arranged uniquely in us all to form a speci•c personality with unique strengths and weaknesses. These nine numbers not only symbolize nine speci•c archetypes but also nine stages of development that all of us pass through in order to complete our growth and maturity. As you go on reading this book, you will see how these numbers describe human characteristics as well as the various cycles through which we all evolve during life’s journey. In one of the nicer examples of symbolic psychology, the shape of the number 9 itself contains a circle on a lead representing the completion of a cycle, a turning back to the beginning which is also manifested in the fact that whenever any number is added to the number 9, it comes back to itself. For example, if you add 9 plus 6, you get 15 which if added together (1 + 5 = 6), makes 6 again. Similarly, 9 plus 8 makes 17 which if added (1+7 = 8), gives 8 again. Besides this, an important aspect in the nature of the 9 is the fact that it represents completion and detachment, the •nal point from which we return to a new beginning. Three different ways of looking at the 9 — the shape of the symbol, the mathematical strangeness and what it represents in Numerology—reveal closely related characteristics. It is interesting to note that the symbols of all numbers ect their natures. The pillar shape of the Number 1 ects the independence, leadership and strength of that number. The humble, sensitive and diplomatic 2 symbolizes its resilient strength: it is easy to depress and to squash, yet it is easier and quicker than does the 1. The 3 represents selfexpression, verbal art, enthusiasm and inspiration. It is the most imaginative of all numbers and this is ected in its open and inviting shape which is ready to embrace anything in this world and the world above.

The square shaped 4 is down to earth. It sits on the ground and it is a foundation and a rock of support for other numbers. It represents limitations (often self imposed) and discipline; it is never a dreamer. The 5 is the most dynamic of all numbers and the symbol seems to turn around its central point. The 5 will try anything at least once and true to its nature is open front and back. The number 6 is the most loving and sacri•cing of all numbers. It is the mother/ fatherhood number endowed with domesticity and seems pregnant with love. The 7 is the thinker and the hermit. It is the seeker of truth and it reminds of a wise old man with an outstretched arm. In his hand he holds a lamp, shining its light in search of answers. The 8 represents the balance between the spiritual and the material world and the symbol ects heaven and earth in the two circles stacked on top of each other. The 9 completes the circle. Like the 6, it is a very loving number but where the 6 sends its love to family, friends and the community, the 9 gives its love to the world. It is the humanitarian and philanthropic.
NUMEROLOGY—ORIGIN & HISTORY The occult signi•cance of numbers has fascinated mankind ever since the secrets of fortune telling became evident. Only few however, have been able to understand its true signi•cance. The Hindus have known the signi•cance of Zero. They call it Shunya or bindu. They link it with the immense void of the universe. This in•nity is the area in which they search God, the omnipresent, who is represented as one. This forms the basis of the entire science of Numerology. It deals with numbers from 0 to 9. The ancient civilisation of Greece and Latin America had also carried enormous research in Numerology. It is vital to understand that heavenly bodies and life on earth are intimately interlinked. This forms the basis of this very productive and precise science. Those who dismiss it as superstition must only see how the oceans swell and subside with the size of the Moon. This happens

because the earth is two-third water and one-third mass; so is the human body. If the Moon can cause chaos in something as big as the earth what it does to the human body becomes easily understandable. From the time immemorial all ancient civilizations—the Babylonians, the Hebrews, the Greeks, the Egyptians and the Indians—used Numerology somehow or the other. The Babylonians were pro•cient in Numerology and Assyrians also made major contributions. The Phoenicians learnt the basic concepts of the alphabet from the Hebrews and Egyptians and developed it to a degree of sophistication and added vowel sounds. The well known Palmist and Numerologist Cheiro has stated in his biography that during his earlier years, when travelling in the East and especially in India, it was his good fortune to come in contact with a certain sect of Brahmins who had kept in their hands from almost prehistoric times, studies and practices of an occult nature which they regarded as sacredly as they did their own religious teachings. Among other things, these Brahmins permitted Cheiro to learn certain theories on the occult signi•cance uence and relation to human of Numbers and their life, which in subsequent years and manifold experiences not only con•rmed but justi•ed him in endeavouring to apply them in a practical sense so that others might also use this knowledge with advantage to themselves and to those around them. The Ancient Hindu searchers after Nature’s Laws were the masters of all such studies but in transmitting their knowledge to their descendants, they so endeavoured to hide their secrets from the common people that in most cases the key to the problem became lost and the truth that had been discovered became buried in the dust of superstition and charlatanism. These ancient people together with the Chaldeans and Egyptians, were the absolute masters of the occult or hidden meaning of numbers, in their application to time and in their relation to human life. When examining such questions, we must not forget

that it was the Hindus who discovered what is known as the precession of the Equinoxes and in their calculation such an occurrence takes place every 25827 years, our modern science after labours of hundreds of years has simply proved them to be correct. The judgment of the Hindus together with that of the Chaldeans, as to the length of what is now known as the cycle of years of the planets, has been handed down to us from the most remote ages. Modern science has proved it to be correct. So when one comes to a study such as his, as to the value of the numbers 1 to 9 which, like the seven harmonies of music are the basis of all music that has ever been conceived, these above stated numbers are the basis of all our numbers and calculations, it is then only logical to accept the decisions of those great students of past ages and at least examine their deductions with a mind free from bias and prejudice. Apart from the question of mystical associations, the numbers themselves have a very ancient origin. We shall, however, never know the genius who actually invented the numbers. According to Prof. Max Muller, numbers were •rst invented by the Arabs. But it seems that the Arabs borrowed the knowledge from the Hindus who in their own turn acquired it from God (according to belief). The subject of Numerology, had absorbed the interest of the most profound thinkers of by gone days. We come across references to •gures and numbers in the Vedas and in the Upanishads. The Chinese considered odd numbers as denoting white, day, the Sun, heat and •re. They believed that even numbers indicated dark, night, the moon, cold, water and earth. They incorporated into their culture the Phoenecian alphabets and its sounds and letters as well. Gematrica was the earliest from which revealed the hidden powers of numbers. It ascribed two values to every letter, one of sound and the other of number. The same system is followed even in the modern form of Numerology. However, the evolution of number is less clear. Pythagoras, a Greek philosopher is regarded as the father of

Numerology. We remember him as a great Mathematician but very few know that he was a great Numerologist as well. About 580BC, he laid the foundation of a university at Crotona for the study of Numbers. Pythagoras travelled widely and studied the teachings of the Egyptians, Assyrians and Indians. He conceived that Mathematics, Music and Astronomy formed the triangle of all arts and sciences and were the basis of all knowledge. For Practical calculations he used Arithmetic and for spiritual he used Numerology. Pythagoras believed that there was nothing that could not be explained by Numbers. He, like the ancient Greek Philosophers believed that numbers possessed mysterious powers independent of their arithmetic signi•cance. Pythagorean Numerology formed the spiritual basis for many secret societies like Rosicrusians, the Masons and the Anthrosophists. During the Rennaissance period, Numerology was taught in the Universities and served as sciences.
Pythagorean, Chaldean & Sepharial Value Table Different renowned Numerologists like Pythagoras, Cheiro and Sepharial etc. have allotted different values to the letters of alphabets but the meanings and features of the numbers are almost the same though some of these scholars have modi•ed it time to time based on their research. At present Pythagorean system and Chaldean System are prevalent in most parts of the world. In this book we are taking into account the Chaldean and Sepharial system.

THE CHALDEAN NUMEROLOGY SYSTEM Chaldean or “Mystic Numerology” is the older numerology of the two numerology systems. While Chaldean Numerology is considered more accurate, it’s less popular. This is because the Chaldean Numerology system is not as easy to master, and the alphabet values are not in as systematic an order as the other Numerology system. The name, when analyzed under Chaldean Numerology, gives a more occult or metaphysical that’s interwoven into the person’s character. Chaldean Numerology indicates the hidden forces or invisible strings at play behind the scenes.

The Chaldean Numerology method also differs in that it goes by the name you’re most known by. Our example lady is known as Anjna Agarwal to most people, and this is preferred under Chaldean Numerology analysis. As you see, her name under Chaldean Numerology adds up to a 3. After the name, the birth number the day of the month on which you were born is considered to be the next most important factor in Chaldean Numerology. In our case, Anjna was born on the 24th of the month. The birth day number affects the personality, health, and other factors in Chaldean Numerology that will be detailed in future chapters. The Chaldean Numerology approach is very ancient and accurate. Chaldean Numerology was developed by the Chaldeans long time ago, who once occupied the southern part of Babylonia. Because of their long and diligent study of the occult, the people of Chaldea became well known for their contributions to astronomy, mathematics, and other sciences, particularly Astrology and Numerology. So adept were these Chaldean people in the metaphysical arts, that their name became synonymous with such studies. The Chaldean Numerology system takes both your name

and birth-date into consideration. The analysis of your name under Chaldean Numerology system uses only the name you are most known by. In the Chaldean Numerology system the numbers only go from 1 to 8, and not 1 to 9 this means the transposition of the numbers assigned to the alphabet is different than in the Pythagorean counterpart. Below is the Chaldean Numerology chart:

As you may already have noticed, no alphabet letter was assigned to the number 9. The reason why the number 9 was omitted under Chaldean Numerology system was because the Chaldeans felt the 9 was holy, sacred, and thus to be held apart from the rest. However, should your name or that of someone you know total 9, then the 9 remains. Let’s analyze the example name under Chaldean Numerology system: ANJNA A GARWAL 1 5 151 1 3 1 2 6 1 3 13 17 Total: 13 + 17 = 30 = 3+0 = 3

All numbers, whether found under this system or the Pythagorean one, have basically the same meanings, symbols, nature, and character. This seems to be the universal rule of all number systems. However, under the Chaldean Numerology system, it isn’t enough to know what the single numbers mean. One must also know what the “compound,” or “double,” numbers mean as well. The single Chaldean Numerology number simply represents the physical outward appearance of a person’s name, whereas the compound Chaldean Numerology number represents the deeper, metaphysical, hidden in•uences or forces behind the name. In our above example, although the name adds up to the single number 3, the name also has three compound numbers—13 in the •rst name, 17 in the last name. Once the physical (single number) and metaphysical (compound number) aspects of your name have been determined, the next important step is your date of birth. Your date of birth means the day of the month you were born under, for it too has its own occult symbology and signi•cance. So, Anjna Agarwal, born on the 24th day of October, would also be considered a number 6 person under this system. Your date of birth is extremely important because it is unchangeable and therefore a constant, like the needle pointing north on a compass. A person may undergo a series of name changes over the years because of marriage, adoption, and the like, but the birth date remains the same. However, in Pythagorean system emphasis is given on total date of birth comprising day, month and year of the birth.
