Like your zodiac sign or enneagram type, your numerology chart can provide clues about your personality and tendencies. And all you need to access it are the numbers and letters in your birth date and name.

Where does numerology originate?

Numerology has roots in the divine arts, and some ancient civilizations are believed to have used it for centuries. Today, we are finally coming full circle and starting to capitalize on this valuable ancient wisdom of the past. Western numerology—created by Greek mystic and mathematician Pythagoras over 2,500 years ago—is the most popular system used around the world today. Other numerology systems include Kabbalistic, Chinese, Tamil/Indian, and Chaldean, which date back even further.

How does numerology work?

Every number (and letter) is thought to have its own unique energetic vibration. Numerology studies the way these vibrations influence the story of your life and personality. By tapping into this powerful resource, you can start to uncover your destiny and the life lessons you will face along the way.

How do you use numerology?

Numerology can be used for many things, but some of its most common applications are to help:

  • Foster greater self-awareness and understanding
  • Uncover personal and professional interests
  • Evaluate relationship compatibility

Everyone has a numerology chart made up of seven core numbers—each one with its own insights.

Let’s take a look at one of those lessons now by calculating your “Life Path Number” from your birth date.

  1. Add all of the numbers in your birth date together. Be sure to write out your full birth year (i.e., 1969 rather than just 69).
  2. Keep adding any double-digit numbers together until you get a single-digit Life Path Number between 1 and 9. Let’s use the birth date March 29, 1969 (3-29-1969) as an example: 3+2+9+1+9+6+9 = 39. 3+9 = 12. 1+2 = 3 Life Path Number
  3. Now, find your Life Path Number below to uncover an essential truth about yourself.
