Numerology - I
-------------------
Just want to start with Numerology basics, so that it helps others and helps me refresh my knowledge. So here we go.
- Basic Concept:
- The basic concepts are derived from Vedic Astrology, which is the basis of all Indian astrology system. They are as follows:
- There are 9 cosmic bodies or ‘graha’ in the solar system which affect all life forms on planet earth. These are:
- Sun (Surya / Bhanu / Ravi)
- Moon (Chandra / Shashi / Som)
- Mars (Mangal / Kuja)
- Mercury (Budh)
- Jupiter (Guru or Brihaspati)
- Venus (Shukra or Shukracharya)
- Saturn (Shani or Shanidev)
- North Node or Rahu
- South Node or Ketu
- These planets represent a number between 1 & 9, and this representation depends on their personality traits and virtues.
- Planets and their numbers:
- The numbers of these planets are:
- 1 = Sun
- 2 = Moon
- 3 = Jupiter
- 4 = Rahu (North node)
- 5 = Mercury
- 6 = Venus
- 7 = Ketu (South Node)
- 8 = Saturn
- 9 = Mars
- There is a lot of discussion and questions as to why the numbers are allocated in such a way, but we will try and discuss that in later sections.
- Based on these numbers, numerologists try to derive an individual’s personality, strengths, weaknesses, and other aspects of his/her life.
- Assignment of numbers with characters:
- These above said numbers are then assigned to the modern day alphabet, in the ascending order.
- So, A/a equals 1, B/b equals 2, C/c equals 3 and so on.
- Once a letter gets 9, the next letter starts with 1, since there is no zero or 10.
- So, applying this concept to the alphabet, this is what we get:
- A, J, S = 1
- B, K,T = 2
- C, L,U = 3
- D, M,V = 4
- E, N,W = 5
- F, O,X = 6
- G, P,Y = 7
- H, Q,Z = 8
- I, R = 9
- Application:
- This is the most important concept – to apply the numbers to analyze.
- To do this, we need 3 parts of an individual’s personal information –
- Complete Birth date with day, month and year
- All names used by that individual for personal and professional purposes including pet names, business names, social or friend circle aliases, etc.
- How does he/she introduce themselves to a complete stranger, be it a business or personal meeting, party or social gathering, or any other event?
- This data is then computed by applying numbers as explained below, and then we arrive at a combination of different numbers.
Enough for part I - More of it later….
