How does numerology work?
Laurence Harrould - Thursday, April 08, 2010
Can someone please explain to me (or refer a good reference book) how numerology works. I simply don't get it.
That's not to say it doesn't work but I'm sceptical. Sceptical means I need proof or evidence that something works. I'm open enough to understand it could work but I don't get it!
Numerology bases a lot of its interpretations on the date of birth. Now, as I understand it the calendar is rather arbitrary. The year (currently 2010) is based on an event which didn't even happen in the year 0 - Jesus's birth is now placed at 6BC. Other interesting aspects of the calendar are the change from the Julian to Gregorian calendar. In 46BC Julius Caesar employed Sosogenes to produce a calendar based on a 365.25 day year. This was used in Europe until 1582 when Pope Gregory XIII had the calendar advanced by 10 days. In England they still used the Julian calendar until 1752 and in Russia it was until 1917. If you have trouble with different time zones imagine what that would have been like.
Returning to my question about numerology what is the implication of simply deleting 10 days?
Currently, different calendars are still in use. Take a birthday on 8/4/2010. Numerologists will have a great deal to say about the characteristics of someone born on that date. But that date also corresponds to 24/7/5770 in the Hebrew calendar. Presumably it will have links to different dates in the Chinese, Moslem and other calendars that exist. Why would the "English" calendar have any more influence than any of the others.
As I said at the beginning - can someone please explain how Numerology works!!!!
What do you think?

To me numerology works on the energy of the numbers. It has nothing to do if the calendar is correct or incorrect. We may even say all calendars are correct because they serve to the purpose they were built for.
Because we are in the west, in numerology we use the date of birth on the birth certificate. Those numbers were giving to you at birth, so they represent some type of energy you align yourself with at your date of birth. You could even say that people who guess their date of birth are on the time of choosing, choosing the life path they want to take this life time. Two good books are Dan Millman's "The life you were born to live", a more spiritual approach. And Juno Jordan's "Numerology - The Romance in your name".
All the best,
