Friday Five. 11/11: It’s Your Lucky Day
Happy 11/11 family! In recognition of this auspicious day landing on a Friday, we’re diving into a topic a bit outside our “usual” content: numerology.
Similar to astrology, which gives insight into traits we might possess based on the stars’ alignment during our birth, numerology is another tool for bridging the gap between the person you are and the person you’d like to be.
Take 5 minutes to learn about this ancient study and what it could indicate about you and your sex life.
Not Just Numbers
“The origins of Numerology can be traced back thousands of years to ancient civilizations like Babylon, Egypt, Greece, India and China. By far, the most popular system is the Western system of Numerology that was created more than 2,500 years ago by Pythagoras, a Greek Philosopher who was also a mathematician.” — Facts And History Of Numerology
Similar to using your birth date and time to find your natal chart in astrology, you use the numbers of the day, month and year of your birth to find your Life Path number. Based on over 40 years of research, Pythagoras suggested a link between birth date and lived experiences.
“Pythagoras, commonly known as ‘the father of modern mathematics’ (Pythagorean theorem!) demonstrated how each of the primary numbers (1-9) represented an aspect of universal energy, or what he termed Universal Law.”
“He considered numbers to be the rational link between consciousness and matter, the connecting conceptual bridge between body and spirit, physics and metaphysics. ”
2. How to Find Your Life Path Number
Step 1: Write out the numbers of your birthday and add them together.
For example, June 3rd 1993 would be: 6+3+1+9+9+3=31
Step 2: The two-digit number is then added together so you get a single digit. Example: 3+1=4
Your Life Path number is 4.
