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.
The following numbers in your chart — and their meanings — are revealed:
Although you can select any of the subjects listed, we recommend that you start with the Life Path number and let us guide you through all the other aspects.
