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.

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 this number represents different characteristics and expressions.

Master number is 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.

Principles

Numerology deals with the basic singular digits of 1 to 9. Each letter of the English alphabet are clustered into a bracket of 3 and included under one of the 9 numerals. Therefore the 24 alphabets in English are made into 9 groups to fall under each numerical. However the numbers 10 – 65 are known as compound numbers. The single numbers ranging from 1 to 9 on which the whole principle of numerology is standing has its calculations based on the theory of Pythagoras. All double digits however can be transferred into single digits by adding their values from the left to the right.

Here is a list of grouped English alphabet, which falls under each numeral to form the basics of numerology.
