In numerology, the birthdate holds essential significance, with key numbers derivable from it purportedly unveiling life path direction, soul purpose, challenges, and cycles.
But how exactly are the core numerology numbers calculated from a person’s date of birth?
Let’s explore the basic techniques.
Translate Birthdate into Single Digit Numbers
First, the month, day and year are converted into single or double digit numbers. For example, March 21, 1980 becomes 0 + 3 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 9 + 8 + 0 = 24, reducing to 2 + 4 = 6.
Calculate the Life Path Number
This pivotal number comes from adding the full date of birth. It indicates life mission, optimal career, challenges and cycles. Reduce to a single digit unless it is 11, 22 or sometimes 33.
Analyze the Birth Day Number
Just the day of birth (21 in the example) is the Birth Day number, said to offer personality insights related to solar energies and outlook.
Examine the Birth Month Number
The month of birth digit (3 in our case) represents talents, relationships with women, and health rhythms related to that numerological energy.
Decode the Birth Year Cycles
The year of birth (1980) gets reduced and shows personal cycles. In this case, 1 + 9 + 8 = 18, reducing to 1 + 8 = 9, indicating completion energy was present at birth.
Consider the Life Path Periods
Major numerological cycles in 9 or 36-year blocks are defined by the Life Path, believed to have related themes and energies during those periods.
Factor in Missing Numbers
Any numbers missing from the name can represent challenges to overcome, like lacking the maturity of missing 4.
So in summary, numerology encodes insight in the dates of our births according to established calculation principles. Studying the meanings behind these derivations aims to unveil life path guidance.
