Numerology: Important Numbers in Personality Reading

-By Mahaveer Sanglikar

Numerology is one of the ways to read a person.  A numerologist can read a person just by knowing the person’s full date of birth, i.e. Date, Month and Year. Moreover, he can read a person by knowing the person’s name.

A numerologist can tell the positive and negative qualities of the person, his/her general behavior, attitude, interests and can guide the person for his/her betterment. He can guide the person in choosing the right career, spouse, partners and friends.  Many things going to happen in the person’s future life can be predicted at some extent. 


Further, there are some special numbers which are not reduced to single digit. Such numbers are very powerful and they are known as Master Numbers. The most powerful Master Numbers are 11 and 22.

In the next article on numerology, we will see the meaning of each number, its strengths and weaknesses.  

Now let us know the 4 important numbers used in the correct reading and analyzing a person.

Birth Number
First Number is known as Birth Number. It is simply the single digit total of the numbers in the monthly date of birth. For example, if your date of birth is 10, then your birth number is 1+0 =1. If it is 15, then your Birth Number is 1+5= 6.  So just add the numbers in your date of birth and you will get your Birth Number. Obviously, if you were born on the dates between 1 to 9, i.e. on a single digit date, then the date itself is your Birth Number.

Birth Number is also known as Root Number, Basic Number, Personality Number etc.

Life Path Number
Second important number for reading a personality is Life Path Number. Your life path number is the single digit total of your full date of birth. For example, if your date of birth is 16 th December 1971, then in numbers it is 16.12.1971. When we add all these numbers, we get the sum of 1. (1+6+1+2+1+9+7+1=28=2+8=10=1+0=1)

Life path Number is also known as Destiny Number, Fortune Number etc.

Name Number
The third important number is Name Number. It is calculated by the specific numbers of every letter in your name. In the easiest system, the position number of a letter in English Alphabets is given to the letter, like 1 for A, 2 for B…. and 26/8 for Z.

Take the name Sunita for example.

S=19=10=1
U=21=3
N=14=5
I= 09=9
T= 20=2+0=2
A =01=1
Total: 21=2+1=3

So the Name number if Sunita is 3.

While calculating a person’s name number, both the first name and last name is considered.

All the 3 numbers put great impacts on the person. If a persons all three numbers are different, that means the person has the qualities of all the three numbers. If all the three numbers are same, then the qualities of that number are extremely concentrated in the person. If two numbers are same and one is different, that means the person has more qualities of former number supported by the qualities of the latter number.

Master Numbers
