Numerology is a symbolic system that translates names and birth dates into numbers, then uses those numbers as a structured language for personality, motivation, strengths, challenges, and timing cycles.

What numerology is used for
- Self-understanding: strengths and repeating patterns
- Decision support: what strategy fits your nature
- Timing: understanding why different seasons feel different
- Communication: seeing how people operate differently
The core numbers (the foundation)
Most systems start with these core numbers:
- Life Path: main direction and lesson
- Expression (Destiny): talents and how you express potential
- Soul Urge: inner motivation and emotional needs
- Personality: first impression and outward signal
How a numerology calculator works
A calculator applies consistent rules to convert letters and dates into numbers, then reduces and organizes results into a chart. The value is speed and consistency. The interpretation is where meaning becomes practical.
