Numerology In Modern Times

Numerology predictions, as with all other ancient philosophies, divinatory arts and occult sciences, owes its origin to different civilisations.

Ancient Babylon has the earliest period of recorded history of numerology. Historians also agree that numerology was practiced in China, Japan, India and Egypt even before it reached Greece.

The birth of modern numerology took place in Greece. Learned scholars, like, St.Augustine of Hope and Pythagorus, firmly believed that everything had numerical relationships and the world is built upon the power of numbers.

The term ‘Numerology’ was coined by Dr Julia Seton in the Twentieth century and Florence Campbell, a great mystic, helped develop the formulas that are still used by the numerologists today in making the numerology predictions.

Out of the three formal versions of Numerology, The Chaldean, The Kabbalah and The Pythagorean, which are used today, The Chaldean Number System for numerology prediction, is considered to be the most accurate one.

While The Chaldean System assigns a number value to the sound of every alphabet and uses compound numbers, The Kabbalah Number System only analyses the name and not the birth date, losing its accuracy, according to Numerologists.

Numerology was used to describe the personality of a person and predict the map for his/her life using his/her birth date and name. This predictive science that uses numbers just as astrology uses the planets, has garnered much interest in it as a reliable tool for guidance in life. The Numerology predictions not only help in throwing an insight on a person’s personality and life, but also on his/her health, career and married life. It also suggests remedies to improve the native’s potential to succeed in life, by suggesting lucky numbers, lucky colours, lucky days etc. Numerology tells you if your name needs correcting for maximum benefit in your life. A person’s whole life may change for the better, just by addition or deletion of one letter from his/her name.
