Numerology takes two pieces of information, your full name and your date of birth, and turns them into numbers. Each number is then read for what it says about character, timing and direction. There is no single official method, so different traditions give different answers, and the honest thing is to say which method is being used.
If you read three guides, read these three. They cover most of what people want to know.
- 1Life Path Number
The single most important number. Comes from your full date of birth.
- 2Birth Number
Your instincts. Comes from the day of the month you were born.
- 3Lo Shu Grid
Your whole date of birth as a picture, including what is missing from it.
