Number mysticism, so-called Numerology, has enchanted mankind for hundreds of years. No one less than Pythagoras dealt extensively with the spiritual meaning of numbers and their significance. Nowadays, those who are in control of their lives not only know their birth chart, do shadow work and regularly talk to a therapist:in. Also from the interpretation of numbers can flow exciting insights for a fulfilling life. Here you can learn how.
Numerology according to Pythagoras
It's hard to believe that a mathematician like Pythagoras could deal with the spiritual meaning of numbersthe numerology, didn't he? But Pythagoras was also a philosopher and this is reflected in his number research. Because around 570 BC, the scientist researched in many areas; taught mathematics and wrote numerous writings and teachings, which unfortunately are largely considered lost to this day.
Pythagoras believed that names and birth dates, relatively individual details, can be reduced to a number between one and nine and thus have a meaning, that is, can be assigned to character traits. For according to the philosopher (and meanwhile also by (quantum) physicists) the universe together with all matter consists of oscillating energy. Which can be explained with the help of numerology. So Pythagoras developed the number mysticism according to a nine-step systemwith which we can still analyze the properties of people, things, places and events today.
The reduction to a single digit
Starting point for the interpretation of digits is a one-digit number between one and nine (1-9). Even the largest sequence of numbers can be interpreted with the help of the Formation of the checksum until it is a single digit.
Example: 338.516.510
3+3+8+5+1+6+5+1 = 32
3+2 = 5
The five is this case according to number mysticism thus the digit to be considered for the number 338.516.510.
Number system for letters
Also from your name a one-digit number can be calculated! Pythagoras established for this a number system, with which letters quite simply into numbers can be converted into numbers. Each letter of the alphabet is assigned to a number between one and nine, as shown in the table:
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 |
9 |
| A | B | C | D | E | F | G | H | I |
| J | K | L | M | N | O | P | Q | R |
| S | T | U | V | W | X | Y | Z |
Umlauts and the ß are replaced by two letters: Ä (AE), Ö (OE), Ü (UE), ß (SS).
The name of our author Julia serves as an example.
First name: 1+3+3+9+1
(middle name) +1+2+5+7+8+1+5+9+5 (last name) +8+5+5+5+1 = 89
8+9 = 17
1+7 = 8
The number 8 is the transverse sum, which is considered in the context of number mysticism.
