NUMEROLOGY
the Science of Number

The Greek philosopher, Pythagoras (ca.570 – ca.480 BCE), first formalised the study of Number in the West. His work as a mathematician and geometer is renowned (remember studying Pythagoras's Theorem at school?), but what is lesser known is that he and his followers were primarily concerned with uncovering the inner, spiritual meaning of the underlying numerical structure of our lives.

There is evidence that Pythagoras studied under wise sages (rishis) in India, bringing the essence of their knowledge of Number, Sacred Geometry, Music and Astrology to the West, influencing Western Culture for millennia, right up to the present time. Yes, Pythagoras's Theorem has an inner meaning as well as an outer one. Understanding the squares on the sides of the triangle is a numerological key to the understanding of life.

Number: The Basis of All Things

Pythagoras's school was very influential. His teachings spread rapidly throughout the ancient world, showing how Number lies at the basis of all things. Right up until modern times, this has deeply influenced architecture through the ideals of sacred geometry, but has also had a profound effect on music, art, science and religion. It even lies at the basis of astrology, underpinning our understanding of the relationships between the planets, the signs and the aspects.

This numerical knowledge is specifically formulated through the study of numerology and anyone who is interested in the inner nature of things would be well advised to study it, or at least to get their numerology explained to them by a skilled numerologist. Numerologists describe our lives in terms of

1. Expression, or Destiny Number (from the full Birth Name), which covers your life's purpose, spiritual mission, and your field of opportunity.
2. Soul Urge, or Heart's Desire, your inner likes and dislikes
3. Dreams, the basis of your personality
4. Life Path, the direction of your experience
5. Challenges, the hurdles in life we must develop means of overcoming
6. Pinnacles, describing the major stages of life
7. Personal Year, showing how our lives will flow in the coming year
8. Birthday, the vibration of the birthday
9. Compatibility, showing how couples can relate through their numbers
10. Divine Triangle, the spiritual map.
