Numerology is an ancient metaphysical system of insight, dating back thousands of years and across multiple civilizations and cultures. It examines the relationship that the numbers and letters associated with our identity (especially our name and birth date) have with our personality and life path. Numerology can be a powerful self-help and self-awareness tool. Its basic principle is that the universe is a system and once broken down, we are left with the basic elements—numbers. Everything comes back to numbers.
