Numerology & Life Path

Numerology is the ancient study of how numbers influence our lives, personalities, and soul paths. In this system, every number carries a unique vibration. By understanding the numbers connected to your birth date and birth name, you gain insight into your strengths, tendencies, and deeper life lessons. Numerology is both simple and profound — a tool that helps decode the energetic patterns shaping your experience.

What Is Numerology?

Numerology teaches that numbers are more than mathematical symbols; they are energetic frequencies. Your birth date and name form a “numerical blueprint,” offering guidance on your personality, purpose, relationships, and growth.

Most modern numerology is based on the Pythagorean system, which assigns numerical values to letters and reduces them to their core frequencies (1–9, plus Master Numbers 11, 22, and 33).
