How the numbers are calculated

Reduction to one digit

Numerology works with the digits 1 to 9. A larger number is reduced by adding its digits: 1990 gives 1 + 9 + 9 + 0 = 19, then 1 + 9 = 10, then 1 + 0 = 1. The steps are shown with arrows: 1990 → 19 → 10 → 1.

Master numbers 11, 22 and 33

When a reduction passes through 11, 22 or 33, the Pythagorean method stops there. These master numbers keep their own meaning and carry the qualities of 2, 4 and 6 with more intensity. A result of 29 becomes 11 and stays 11.

Life path from the date of birth

Month, day and year are reduced separately first, then the three results are added and the sum is reduced again. Reducing the parts separately keeps master numbers that a single long sum would hide.

The letter table

Each Latin letter has a value from 1 to 9 by its place in the alphabet: A, J and S are 1, B, K and T are 2, and so on up to I and R, which are 9. The full name gives the expression number, the vowels give the soul number, the consonants give the personality number.

Names outside the Latin alphabet

The table is built on the Latin alphabet. Letters with diacritics are written without them (Ł as L, Ü as U, ß as SS). A name in Cyrillic or another script should be entered as it is written in a passport in Latin letters. The result shows which spelling was counted.

Personal year

The personal year adds the reduced month and day of birth to the reduced calendar year. It changes every year and runs through a cycle of nine: from 1, a year of beginnings, to 9, a year of completion.

What numerology is and is not

Numerology is a symbolic system. It describes themes and tendencies and can be a useful frame for self-reflection. It is not a forecast of events and not advice on health, money or relationships.
