“Scholars have traced numerology to Egypt, India, Rome, Greece, and China. Believed to be over 10,000 years old, numerology seems to have begun its development at about the same time as mathematics. It is referred to in the Old Testament, St. John’s Revelations in the New Testament, and the Hebrew Kabbala. Numbers predate even the most basic science and philosophy.
Each number has a greater meaning and a ruling planet. One stands as the leader with the guiding personality of the Sun. Number two sways and vacillates trying to have it both ways with the Moon’s duality. Three is versatile with the creativity of its ruling planet, Jupiter. Number four worries and wants to take life slowly with its positive Uranus energies. Five is energetic with Mercury’s influences. Six wants to love and be romantic like its ruling planet Venus. Seven is under Neptune’s influences of inner and intellectual searching. Eight knows both feast and famine with Saturn feeling the most and least of life’s destinies. Number nine is humanitarian with the fighting spirit of Mars. Eleven and twenty-two won’t be reduced or separated in their powerful energies since 1 is not added to 1 nor is 2 ever added to 2. Both stay as 11 and 22 with their special and important 2-digit meanings.
To calculate your Personal Year Number, add together the numbers in your year of birth. For example: 1976 adds to 1+9+7+6 = 17 + 6 = 23 = 5 for the answer of 5. The number of your name comes by adding each letter using this chart. So that
