How Are Numerology and Astrology Connected?

Did you know that the practice of astrology can be dated all the way back to ancient Mesopotamia? Ever since humans learned that the stars hold important answers, we've been trying to interpret them. The same goes for numbers, and thus numerology was created.

Numerology and astrology go hand-in-hand in many ways. Though they are not the same practice, they complement each other and help provide a greater sense of self. Using numerology and astrology in tandem can help lead you to important truths about the world around you. 

Whether you're a seasoned astrologer or just started to read your horoscope, incorporating numerology into your astrology practices will help you grow. You'll learn to take more notice of the world around you through numerology. You will also recognize new energy signatures that can bring you prosperity and joy. 

What Is Numerology?

Pythagoras did not only deal with triangles! The ancient Greek mathematician and philosopher also identified the energy associated with each number. Pythagoras is the father of modern numerology

In essence, numerology is the study and analysis of energy put out by certain numbers. Each number has unique symbolism, and the numbers in your birth date can reveal a complete image of your Self and your destiny. The analysis also spreads to the location of the planets at the time of your birth. 

By calculating your birth date and time, you can find a Life Path number that will hint at your fate. Expert astrologers and numerologists can tell you much about the road ahead from analysis if your birth date alone. 

How Do Numerology And Astrology Work Together? 

Astrology uses a surprising amount of math. Your birth chart is determined by the placement of the planets at the moment of your birth. The meaning of the placements is derived from careful analysis of the angles and sums created. 

Therefore, the energy put forth by those numbers is very important. The energy of numerology corresponds to each house of your birth chart: 1 has exuberant and powerful energy, therefore your 1st house represents the planet with the most powerful energy for you. 

Understanding numerology can help you greater understand your chart, and therefore your self. 

Interpreting Numbers

• 1: The number one is represented by the Sun: one represents leadership, originality, power, and individuality, but it can also represent aggressiveness and egotism 
• 2: The number two is ruled by the Moon: two represents diplomacy, thoughtfulness, and patience, but it can also represent depression and timidness 
• 3: The number three is ruled by Jupiter: three represents ambition and optimism, but can also represent moodiness and exaggeration
• 4: The number four is ruled by Uranus: four represents determination and attention to detail, but it also represents stubbornness and a lack of imagination
• 5: The number five is ruled by Mercury: five represents flexibility, enthusiasm, and spontaneity, but it can also represent dissatisfaction and impatience
• 6: The number six is ruled by Venus: six represents nurturing, responsibility, and selflessness, but it can also represent self-righteousness and an overbearing attitude 
• 7: The number seven is ruled by Neptune: seven represents spirituality, intuition, and personality, but it also represents isolation and sarcasm 
• 8: The number eight is ruled by Saturn: eight represents authority, power, and decisiveness, but it can also represent materialism and over-ambition 
• 9: The number nine is ruled by Mars: nine represents humanitarianism, charity, and kindness, but it can also represent attention-seeking and self-pity 

Eleven and twenty-two are also important numbers in numerology. 11 is usually interpreted similarly to 2, with a heavier emphasis on spirituality. 22 acts as an amplified 4, with the same positive and negative traits, turned up to, well, 22! 

The Signs and Their Ruling Numbers

The signs and their numbers coordinate with their ruling planets. This is why the ruling planet of your sun sign and the number are so similar. If the number of your ruling planet is also in your birth date, be assured that that number will be incredibly significant to your life.
