Yes — here are the basic fundamentals of numerology, clean and straightforward.
Yes — here are the basic fundamentals of numerology, clean and straightforward.
1. Everything reduces to single digits (1–9)
Most numerology systems assume that numbers carry symbolic meaning. Multi-digit numbers are usually reduced by adding digits together.
Example:
27 → 2 + 7 = 9
1994 → 1 + 9 + 9 + 4 = 23 → 2 + 3 = 5
(Exception: “master numbers” like 11, 22, 33 are sometimes not reduced.)
2. The core numbers
These are the most common “basic” numbers people calculate.
Life Path Number
From your birthdate
Represents your overall theme or direction in life
Expression / Destiny Number
From the letters in your full birth name
Represents talents, abilities, and how you act in the world
Soul Urge (Heart’s Desire)
From the vowels in your name
Represents inner motivations and desires
Personality Number
From the consonants in your name
Represents how others perceive you
3. Letter → number mapping (Pythagorean system)
Each letter is assigned a number from 1 to 9.
1: A J S
2: B K T
3: C L U
4: D M V
5: E N W
6: F O X
7: G P Y
8: H Q Z
9: I R
Names are converted using this table, then reduced.
4. Meaning of the numbers (fundamental)
1 – independence, leadership, initiative
2 – cooperation, balance, sensitivity
3 – expression, creativity, communication
4 – structure, work, stability
5 – change, freedom, adaptability
6 – responsibility, care, harmony
7 – analysis, introspection, truth-seeking
8 – power, ambition, material success
9 – completion, compassion, universal perspective
Master numbers (optional layer):
11 – intuition, insight
22 – large-scale building, mastery
33 – teaching, compassion
5. What numerology is (and isn’t)
It is:
A symbolic language
A pattern-based reflection system
A tool people use for meaning and self-storytelling
It is not:
Scientific
Predictive in a literal sense
Deterministic or fate-locking
