Numbers 1 - 9 are the main numbers used in Numerology

How often do certain numbers crop up in your daily life? Sometimes it seems like on a regular basis. Using numerology you might find there is a correspondence between the number of your name or birthday with those seemingly frequent numbers that seem to show themselves often in your life.

Numerology has been around a very long time and is still going strong in some countries. The fascination with numbers is a long tradition of many ancient peoples as well as today. From the Babylonians to the Phoenicians, to the Hebrews, all believed in the almost magical powers of numbers. However, long after the original peoples ideas about numbers were ancient history the Greek mathematician and astrologer Pythagoras (c 580 – c. 500 BC) was the first to put forth the theory that everything in life could be ruled and symbolized by a number.

From music, one’s work, one’s name, and many other life events, all could be represented by numbers. Even though many people after him later developed and expanded his ideas Pythagoras is considered the father of numerology. His Pythagorean school was the launching bed from which our present day numerology comes from.

Aside from all children learning about his famous Pythagorean Theorem when taking algebra in school one of his lesser theories (lesser to us) which is still followed in numerology is that odd numbers are considered to be outgoing. They are full of energy, active, and have masculine qualities. While on the other hand even numbers are passive, yielding and sensitive.

Numerology is a different way of looking at numbers that enables you to analyze not only the meaning of your name or birthdate, but other numbers that occur in your life. Numerology can be as simple or as complex as you want it to be. If you really want to get more than just a basic overview I suggest you read a few different books on the subject. Some of them are shown above and others by clicking the Good Luck Books menu selection.

Learn a little and enjoy what numerology can tell you about yourself or others. Learn more and maybe it can tell you something about the future.
