Through a Glass Darkly

Numerology can be a lot of fun, and it’s easier than it looks. The one operation is reducing: turning a number with lots of digits (like the year) into 1-9, 11, or 22. It works on dates, names, or words. Here’s how:

Date Numerology:

Universal Year: Reduce the current year to a single digit. (2 + 0 + 0 + 9 = 11)
Personal Year: Reduce your month/day of birth; add to Universal Year. (2/19 = 12 = 3; 3 + 11 = 5)
Personal Month: Personal Year + Universal Month (5 + 4 = 9)
Personal Day: Personal Month + Universal Day (9 + 13 = 22 OR 9 + 4 = 13 = 4)
So in a Universal Date of 4 - 4 - 11 (Day - Month - Year), for a person with this birthdate they’d have a personal date of 22 - 9 - 5. A Visionary type day in a month of integrity and wisdom (and endings) in a year of change and freedom. (See Numerology Cheat Sheet — Numbers)
Destiny Number: Birthdate reduced. (2/19/1962 = 2 + 1 + 9 = 12 = 3)
Life Cycles: first (formative) = birth month, 2nd (productivity) = birth day, 3rd (harvest) = birth year

Name/Word Numerology:

1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9
A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H-I
J-K-L-M-N-O-P-Q-R
S-T-U-V-W-X-Y-Z

(This table is an easy way to remember the numbers attached to letters. M, for example, is letter #13; this reduces to 4. So it simply gives you the already reduced values for each letter.)

Write out your full name (usually the name given you at birth, or the name that everyone uses for you now); write the numbers for the vowels above the letters, and the consonant numbers below them. It makes it easier to add up each type if they’re separated.

  6 1  1  1 5 9 6   Ideality = 29 = 11
Thomas Alva Edison     Expression = 11 + 5 = 16 = 7
28 4 1  34   4 1 5  Impression = 32 = 5

Ideality (inner self): Reduce the vowels to get this number.
Impression (outer appearance): Reduce the consonants.
Expression (total self): Ideality + Impression
Cornerstone: First letter of first name (in this case, T = 2)
Key: total and reduce all the letters of your first name (Thomas = 22)
Key Letter: First letter of last name (A =1)

This works for any word you want to investigate. For example, WORK (5 + 6 + 9 + 2 = 22) is a higher vibration of 4, the number of stability and process (of work itself, actually!). LOVE (3 + 6 + 4 + 5 = 9) is the vibation of integrity and wisdom; PLAY (7 + 3 + 1 + 7 = 9) is of the same vibration. Makes a sort of sense, doesn’t it?

The easiest way to learn Numerology is to play with it. Play with dates; see if the numerology for the date fits what happened then, or what is scheduled to happen. Play with your friends’ names; see if the profiles fit the people. Play with words; see if the theory holds. And above all else, have fun! And if you have any observations, questions, or anything else to say, please put it in the Comments!
