Basic Understanding

Numerology is one of the known occult arts available in a truly user-friendly form and easily interpretable. In order to unlock the mysteries of the numbers, you only need to know the birth date and the full name of the concerned individual. There are 11 essential numbers that comprise of the numerology chart. The numbers are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11 and 22. Each of these eleven numbers is the unique representation of characters and consequences. The digits 11 and 22 are referred to as 'Master' numbers, while the rest others are known as 'Core' numbers. When you add the numbers in a complete birth date, for example, 19-July-1974, you will get the value 1+9+7+1+9+7+4 = 38, now you have to reduce this 38 number by adding the digits further till you reach to either in master number or core number. Here, you will reach to the master number, since 3+8=11. The master numbers are referred to as an intensified version of the digits 2 and 4 and usually represent a possibility of higher academics or experiencing highly stressful environment. For many people, the master numbers function more or less same as the core numbers.

While the first reflection of numerology goes with the understanding of numbers associated with complete birth date arranged in order mm/dd/yyyy, which is also referred to as Life Path Number, an integral factor of numerology reading, the birth name is also digitized by assigning numbers to each of the letters in the name. There is a particular value assigned with each of the alphabets. This number assignment is unique and same under any circumstances.

1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9
A	B	C	D	E	F	G	H	I
J	K	L	M	N	O	P	Q	R
S	T	U	V	W	X	Y	Z

Most of the numerology gurus or numerologists believe that the full birth name should be used for the calculation purpose. The name registered in the birth certificate receives the highest value of concern. Changed name, nick name, name changes during marriage do not devalue the significance of the name given by the parents originally.
