How do numbers affect you?

It is said that while the soul slumbers, God speaks to us in numbers. Numbers have great meaning and significance for us. But for some reason, numerology has always been a poor cousin of astrology and palmistry inspite of the fact that its effect is equally noticeable and significant.

Your date of birth and name have a special significance for you. The hidden meaning of numbers can reveal personality traits as well as patterns of the future. The basis of numerology is the mysterious law of vibrations. Your birth date can be reduced to a single digit key number. This number represents a planet. You and the planet attached to your number will have the same vibrations which will last all through your life.

What can numerology do?
Numbers help to predict the basic character of a human being, behavioral pattern, family life, profession, income resources, health and favourable and unfavourable dates. Numbers are prevalently used everywhere for naming a firm or company or factory or any other business enterprise. The right naming of the company brings the right and optimum results for the entrepreneur. Defective names and unfavourable numbers for the naming may bring undesired results to the organisation.

As the famous expert Bansilal Jumaani says, "Changing an alphabet in the name can endow prosperity or even end a bad period because it affects the vibrations attributed to a name. Don't underestimate the power of numerology; it removes obstacles from your path, helps in the smooth progress of business and personal matters and gives you the chance to realise your potential.

Significance of numbers:
There is more to numbers than mere betting on lottery and horse races. There are nine important planets in our solar system . Similarly there are only nine numbers by which all our calculations are made. All the other numbers are only repetitions. Each number is assigned to a planet .

Astrology and numerology are eternally interlocked and interconnected.The true solar year begins when the sun enters the Spring Equinox between the 21st and 23rd of March each year, and then passes through each astrological sign of the zodiac of 30 degrees each, one after the other.

Each astrological sign has its own planetary ruler. And each planet vibrates to a number.

1 is the number of the Sun, ruler of Leo
2 is the number of the Moon, ruler of Cancer
3 is the number of the planet Jupiter, ruler of Sagittarius
4 is the number of the planet Uranus, ruler of Aquarius
5 is the number of the planet Mercury, ruler of Gemini and Virgo
6 is the number of the planet Venus, ruler of Taurus and Libra
7 is the number of the planet Neptune, ruler of Pisces
8 is the number of the planet Saturn, ruler of Capricorn
9 is the number of the planet Mars, ruler of Aries

Single and compound numbers:
Single numbers · Represent what a person or an entity appears to be in the eyes of others.They are the numbers of individuality and personality. Single numbers from 1 to 9 belong to the physical or material side of people and entities while compound numbers belong more to the spiritual side of people.

Compound numbers or double numbers reveal or indicate the karmic influences and foreshadow the destiny of the person or the entity which can be controlled and eventually neutralised by heeding the advice given in the definitions of these numbers.

What do numbers mean?
Numerologists assign numeric values to every letter in the English alphabet. Thus each letter of the name has a value. You can use this table to calculate your own name, birth and fate numbers. The numbers assigned to letters are :

A I J Q Y = 1
B K R = 2
C G L S = 3
D M T = 4
E H N X = 5
U V W = 6
O Z = 7
F P = 8
9 is not assigned to any letter.

How to arrive at your lucky number:
Your personality, destiny and characterisitics are a combination of three factors - name number, birth number and fate number. Your birth number is your lucky number and if this number coincides with the dominating planet in your chart then it is the best number for you. And if the birth number is a difficult number then the name should be chosen so as to soften its influence. In case of a fortunate birth number, the name can be altered to match the birth number.

To achieve the best possible results, the name number and the birth number should be compatible.
This is a simple example that will help you find your lucky numbers:

Birth number is the date on which you are born, reduced to a single digit root number. For example, for a person born on 28 April, the birth number is calculated as follows:

2 + 8 = 10

1 + 0 = 1

So the birth number is 1, single number is 1 and compound number is 10.

Fate number is the total of the value of digits in the date, month and year of your birth, brought to a single digit root number. For example, for a person born on 28 April, 1953,

2 + 8 + 0+ 4+ 1 + 9 + 5 + 3 = 32

3 + 2 = 5

So the fate number is 5, single number is 5 and compound number is 32.

Name number is a sum of the alphabetic values which can be reduced to a single digit root number. This is taken as your name number

N E H R U
5 5 5 2 6

Total = 23
2 + 3 = 5

To sum up, let me make it clear that numerology has no power to erase karma, but it can certainly remove the unnecessary obstacles from your path and cause business and personal matters to run smoothly, as it changes the vibrations of the name.
