Much of the material in the "Do Your Own Reading" pages is based on the book Numerology; Key To Your Inner Self

Most numbers in your chart are easy to calculate. However, in this section we try to guide you to your pages with a minimum of calculating. Just take it step-by-step.

We start with the numbers derived from your date of birth. Calculations are almost completely eliminated, but you should be ready to make the occasional note.

All numbers based on your date of birth reflect influences and events related to the momentum of your life. Think of their effect on your life as similar to the weather and the landscape you travel through — the Path of Your Life. The influences are enormously important. In fact, the most important number in your chart — the Life Path number — is based on your date of birth. And yet, the power of these numbers is felt as almost "external" — most of them affect you only for periods in your life (cycles) or are overcome after you reach a certain age (Challenges). Even your Life Path number is a cycle; it is the longest cycle of your life.

Numbers derived from your full name at birth reflect who YOU are within that landscape and influenced by the weather as revealed by your date of birth. Your in-born talents, characteristics, idiosyncrasies, strengths and weaknesses, are all revealed through the numbers based on your name.




Take a moment to contemplate the essential difference in the way the numbers derived from your date of birth and those based on your name, affect you. Understanding not only the archetypal meaning of the numbers, but more importantly how and where they influence you, is the most challenging part of learning the age-old science of numerology.

                 NUMBERS AND ASTROLOGY

   

          There are nine single numbers. The relationship of numbers to planets is the key to numerology. in the hindu system, this relationship is the same as in the west, with the two following exceptions. The number 4 in the Hindu system corresponds to Rahu.

introduction of numerology:

 Numerology uses numbers as a key to human behaviour. It is an easy to learn method that exercises the mind's intuitive faculty to fathom the depths of human personality.
 

   Numerology is a method of linking the microcosm with the macrocosm. With practice, a numerologist starts to comprehend the influence of celesial bodies on human understanding and conduct. All objects of the material world are related to the nine planets.

Numerology is not a complete science. It is just one branch of the predictive sciences. To be good numerologist one must become a good observer and a patient listener. Study of physiognomy and astrology is very necessary.

Having knowledge of the numbers and a good memory can save much energy and time. A keen interest in numerology can work to enhance memory and pointedness; it can also promote the intuitive faculty of the mind.

The advice that accompanies the discussion of each number regarding fasting or gemstones is based on Ayurvedic and Tantric knowledge. Following the prescriptions given will help to create a better environment for the micro-organisms living in our bodies. as receptors of cosmic energy, they serve to create harmony in our lives.

Thus numerology can provide

• a better understanding of both our good and bad sides
• a method of accepting our weaknesses and those of others
• a vehicle for discussing these weaknesses
• a joyful way of passing time
• freedom and escape from our own personal worries
• a good focal point, or method of paying attention and getting attention
• popularity and respect
• a tool for entering into the unknown
• friendly interactions.

      To practise numerology, we develop:

• the mind of a scholar resarching life
• the alertness of an explorer
• a good memory and pointedness
• an antuitive mind
• good conversational skills.
