NUMEROLOGY
For as long as we have been able to count, numbers have been a source of fascination. It was the Greek mathematician and astrologer Pythagoras (c.580-c.500 BC) who first put forward the theory that everything in life - from music to one's name - could be symbolised and ruled by a number. Despite the fact that many people later developed his ideas, Pythagoras is considered to be the father of numerology and his Pythagorean school was the cradle from which our present numerology stems.
In numerology, only 11 numbers are used, from 1 to 9 plus 11 and 22. Any other number is reduced to one of these numbers by adding the digits together. For example, 37 is reduced by adding 3+7 to make 10, and then further reduced by adding 1+0 to give 1.
Here we consider several types of number - each of them helping us explore different facets of our inner selves. We show you how to calculate each type of number - and the meaning of each individual number by type.
