Astro Occults - Name numerology, also known as numerological analysis of names, is the practice of assigning numerical values to letters in a person's name and using these values to derive insights into their personality traits, strengths, weaknesses, and potential destiny. Here's a breakdown of how name numerology works:
1. Assigning Numerical Values: In various numerological systems (such as Pythagorean or Chaldean), each letter of the alphabet is assigned a numerical value. For example, in the Chaldean system:
2. Calculating Numbers: Once each letter in a name is assigned a number, these values are added together and reduced to a single digit (or in some cases, master numbers 11, 22, or 33 are also considered significant).
3. Core Numbers: The main numbers derived from a person's name in numerology include:
- Expression/Destiny Number: Calculated using the full birth name, this number is believed to represent a person's natural talents, abilities, and potential in life.
- Personality Number: Derived from the consonants in the full birth name, this number is thought to reveal outward traits and how others perceive you.
- Soul Urge/Heart's Desire Number: Calculated using the vowels in the full birth name, this number is associated with inner desires, motivations, and emotional needs.
- Karmic Lessons: These numbers indicate specific challenges or lessons that a person may need to address in their life, derived from the absence or abundance of certain numbers in the name.
4. Interpretation: Numerologists interpret these core numbers to provide insights into a person's character, relationships, career path, and life journey. Each number is believed to carry specific energies and influences that shape different aspects of one's life.
5. Name Changes: In name numerology, changing one's name (such as through marriage or professional reasons) can significantly alter the numerical vibrations associated with a person. Numerologists may advise on adjustments to align with desired outcomes or to balance energies.
Name numerology is a subjective practice and is not scientifically validated. However, many people find value in its insights as a tool for self-discovery, understanding personal strengths and challenges, and making decisions aligned with their perceived destiny or life purpose.
