INTRODUCTION

The science of numerology can be traced back thousands of years. The Chinese,
Japanese, Greek, Hebrews, Egyptians, Phoenicians, early Christians, Mayans, and
Incas all used some form of numerology to gain a deeper understanding of
themselves and the universe.
Numerology is perhaps the easiest of the occult arts to understand and use. All
you need is the birth date and the complete name of an individual to unlock all
of the secrets that the numbers hold. (Most authorities agree that the full birth
name as recorded on your birth certificate is the name that must be used for all
calculations involving name.)
There are eleven numbers used in constructing Numerology charts. These
numbers are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, and 22. Larger numbers that occur from
adding the numbers in the complete birth date or from the values assigned to
each name are reduced by adding the digits together until the sum achieved is
one of the core numbers. Merely add the components of the larger number
together (repeatedly, if necessary) until a single digit (or the "master" numbers
11 or 22) results. Each of these numbers represents different characteristics and
expressions.
Master numbers are the only exception to rule of reducing to the single digit. The
master numbers 11 and 22 are intensified versions of the single digit number
they replace (2 and 4). These numbers suggest a potential for a high degree of
learning and/or achievement very often in a more stressful environment. In
many individuals, the master numbers operate at a much more tangible or
practical level, becoming essentially the same as the single digit parallel.
An astrology chart looks at more than just your sun sign. Likewise a numerology
chart doesn't just focus on one particular number but provides the results of
several calculations. These numbers are then examined and interpreted in
relation to each other. And unlike astrology, numerology is wonderfully simple.
So simple that you really can "do it yourself."

LETS GET STARTED!

Converting your FULL BIRTH NAME to a number.
Have a pencil and paper handy? Great! Start by writing out your full birth name
(first, middle, and last). Now assign numbers to each letter using the chart as a
guide. Here is a chart of the values assigned to each of the letters in the English
alphabet:

Sound confusing? It really isn't. Just take a look at the following example and
you'll get the idea. In this example, I will use Marc Cornellius as the birth name.
Okay, now let's assign numerical values to Marc's full name at birth.
Marc = 4, 1, 9, 3
Cornellius = 3, 6, 9, 5, 5, 3, 3, 9, 3, 1
Now adding these numbers together we have:
Marc = 14 -> 5
Cornellius = 47 -> 11
So my Birth Name Number is 7 (5 + 11 = 16 -> 1+ 6 =7). (See number
table)

BIRTH PATH Number

The Birthpath Number is arrived at by adding your month, day, and year of birth.
The Birthpath Number reveals who you are, what you do best, and whatever
natural abilities you have. See the example:
OkI was born on November 11, 1922. Or 11/11/22, the way it is usually
written. Birthpath for Marc: 8. (see number chart)

hands. Loyalty is important to you. Avoid the tendency to make yourself
your topic of conversation.
In numerology, the obstacles faced in life are called the challenges. The
Challenge is a weak point in our Life Path. We learn by meeting and dealing with
the challenge. The nature of the challenge is shown in the Life Path.
There are three challenges included in your Life Path. Two that will be called
Sub-challenges and then a Final Challenge.
We will again use the month, the day and the year of birth in this calculation.
The first step will be to reduce each of these components to a single digit base
number. So, November 14, 1968, would become month 2 (1+1), day 5 (1+4),
and year 6 (1+9+6+8=24; 2+4=6).

9
The first sub-challenge is derived by finding the difference between the month
and day of birth. In our example, this would be 5-2=3 first sub challenge.
The second sub-challenge is identified by finding the difference between the day
of birth and the year of birth. The example would be 6-5=1; the number 1 for a
second sub challenge.
The final challenge is identified by finding the difference between the first and
second sub challenge. Our example would have a 3-1=2 challenge.
The numbers behind the final challenge will each be a potential problem during
half of the life. The first sub challenge during the first part of the life, and the
second sub challenge during the second half of the life. The Final Challenge is a
potential weakness and problem throughout the entire life.
If you correctly reduced the month, day and year to a single digit (no master
number), the difference between the two numbers must be a number from 0 to
8. Here are readings of each of the challenges:
The Challenge Number 0
The obstacles in life may be few, or they may be coming from all directions. This
challenge is called the challenge of choice. You may have difficulty acting on
your preferences. You are capable of analyzing a situation and realistically
comparing possible solutions. To overcome the challenge, you must have the
faith in your own abilities. This challenge is one that is normally found on in a
highly evolved individual, in other words, to meet this challenge, you must be a
very gifted person.
The Challenge Number 1
You are likely to feel dominated by people with strong influence, probably
parents or others with whom you compete. The challenge is to avoid of being
dominated, but doing it in a way that does not dominate others. It's very
important to control the ego. You are now in a period of learning about selfreliance and how to solve your own problems independently.
The Challenge Number 2
You are likely to be extremely sensitive and find it hard to work with people
because you are afraid of being criticized or ignored. You have a good deal of
self confidence. There is a tendency to constantly worry about the opinion that
others have of you. Used more positively, your keen sensitivities can be a
significant strength, allowing you to be acutely aware of so much of with others
rarely perceive. But during this period it will be hard for you to make decisions.
Friendships are a source of deep satisfaction to you during this time. Respect
your ability to compromise and grow in a quiet way.
The Challenge Number 3
You may try to do too many things at once during this period of your life. You
may have a fine imagination and a gift for words, but you find it hard to express
yourself effectively. Though you know you should cultivate friends and be

10
sociable, you tend to be somewhat reclusive and defensive. You may have a
talent for writing, acting, or speaking, but you are reluctant to involve yourself
with these sorts of activities because you do not like to face the prospects of
criticism. You are expressing yourself with a negative emphasis, hiding your
creative talents behind a wall of shyness. You must strive to develop yourself in a
social and in a creative sense. It's hard to just relax and have a good time.
The Challenge Number 4
You may have a difficulty with work. Either you simply don't like to work, don't
like the work you are forced to do, or you have difficulty completing tasks and
working efficiently. You may be careless and lack a sense of practicality. It is
important for you to learn patience, understanding and the practical, common
sense way of dealing with responsibilities.
The Challenge Number 5
Your challenge is to overcome the desire and the demand for freedom at any
price. The challenge 5 number is very difficult to handle because you are apt to
be extremely impulsive; you want to try everything at least once, and you are
rather unstable in many ways. Change may be necessary for you, but it must be
handled in an intelligent and controlled manner.
The Challenge Number 6
You may have difficulties because of your insistence on extremely high
standards. You could appear as intolerant and a little self-righteous. It is hard for
others to live up to your standards of expectation. You must learn that your
diplomatic approach will be appreciated if others feel that their needs are met,
their desires understood, their point of view respected.
