Types of Numerology and Their Meanings
Numerology refers to the use of numbers to signify their relation to human life. It is a pseudoscience used since ancient times by cultures around the world. The word numerology is derived from the Latin terms numerous, meaning “number,” and logos, meaning “word, speech, or discourse.” The origins of numerology are vague at best. Some sources say it was created in Babylonia, while others say it was built in Ancient Greece. What we know for sure is that different types of numerology are still in use today.

Numerology Basics
Numerology can be used for a wide range of purposes, and it can also dive into a mind-blowing array of associations. Ancient cultures have linked numbers with dates, alphabets, locations, stars, and more. Essentially, numerology could be called the structure or architecture behind advanced divination.
Numbers can be used and interpreted in correlation with the letters in our names, our birth dates, and/or the latitude and longitude of our birthplaces to predict life events, our character, and the destiny of our lives, among other life events. In some numerology practices, numbers are assigned a gender, which contributes to number meaning and interpretation. While there are many numerological systems in the world, they all seem to follow a similar way of analyzing numbers to interpret patterns in life.
Numerology is not just a belief that is held by a certain group of people with commonalities in religion, culture, or geography. In truth, many early mathematicians and philosophers found uncanny connections between numbers and all of life’s existence. Many scientists in the past have studied it and found some correlations between number patterns and life events. Today, we have several different types of numerology that shed light on life, nature, the cosmos, and ourselves.
Common Types of Numerology
Numerology is an ancient science used for centuries to imbue meaning, assess patterns in nature, and even gain insight into future events. Different types of numerology render different types of results. Here are the six main types of numerology and their meanings, as well as how these different versions of numerology operate on a spiritual or predictive level.
Pythagorean Numerology
Pythagoras, a Greek mathematician, philosopher, and mystic, created Pythagorean numerology. Pythagorean numerology is a system in which every number is assigned a meaning. It is a belief that everything in the universe is based on numbers and their relationships.
Pythagorean numerology gives meaning to each number and letter, which can be used for divination or predictive purposes. This type of numerology is based on the number of each letter in the alphabet. The numbers are assigned to letters according to their placement in the alphabet. So, in today’s common English alphabet, the letter A equals 1. It is through assigning numbers to letters that we get our name number meaning.
Pythagorean numerology can be used to understand your personality and character traits. It can also be used to find out what you are most compatible with, such as your partner or career choice.
Biblical Numerology
Biblical numerology is mostly used by Christians and believers of the Bible to give spiritual meanings to numbers. Just as in other religions, numbers are always associated with meanings since it is believed that there are God numbers, or better said, numbers are divine and a construct of God.
Biblical numerology is the study of the numbers in the Bible. It is used to understand biblical passages. In some instances, this type of numerology may be used to crack ancient codes and reveal secret meanings believed to be cloaked within biblical texts.
There are many different ways to calculate biblical numerology. One way is by adding up all the numbers in a verse or passage and then dividing them by their total sum. If you divide that number by the sum, you can either get a fraction or an integer. The fraction will have a value of 1 – 10 and will be used to shine a light on the holy text. Your value may also help you connect more closely with God, and even provide divine guidance in your life about an event you are going through right now, as believed by different religions.
Vedic Numerology
This type of numerology is based on ancient Hindu beliefs and texts such as the Vedas. These scriptures or systems of wisdom assign numerological meaning to planets and other cosmic benchmarks. The Hindu culture is a diverse group of people with many different beliefs and practices, but numerology is among the most popular. They are known for their intense study of numbers and their interconnectedness with life.
Vedic numerology is a system that assigns numbers to letters to evaluate the meaning or significance of words, names, places or phrases. It is based on the Hindu culture and religion and has been used for centuries by the various incarnations of Buddhas, high-ranking religious priests, and even regular people in order to gain clarity about life events or even understand the future.
In Hindu culture, Vedic numerology is used for many things, such as finding a person’s soulmate, predicting events, determining a person’s lucky number, or even finding out what animal they will be reincarnated as. The numbers have different meanings depending on whether they are odd or even and whether they are related to day or night, among other differentiations.
Chaldean Numerology
Chaldean numerology is a form of numerology based on ancient science. This type of numerology has been used for over 2,000 years in many different cultures.
The Chaldean system was developed by the Babylonians based on the number 12. The system divides all numbers into single digits, which are then assigned to a corresponding zodiac sign, planet, and element. The Chaldean numerology system assigns numbers to letters in words or phrases according to their position in the alphabet from 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10, with each letter having a corresponding number value from 1 to 9.
Astrological Numerology
Astrological numerology is a set of esoteric beliefs based on the idea that numbers can be used to understand the nature of the universe and predict events. This type of numerology has been popular since ancient times, but it was only in the 20th century that it became more widespread.
It is a system of divination that assigns numerical values to your birth date, or even your zodiac sign (1 – 12, with Aries being 1 and Pisces being 12). Astrological numerology then uses those numbers of your birthday to analyze personality traits, life events, or even your future life trajectory. It is based on the idea that numbers are symbols with specific meanings and correspondences in astrology.
Kabbalah Numerology
Kabbalah numerology is a system of interpretation and spiritual practices that originates from the ancient Hebrew mystical tradition. It is based on assigning numerical values to words, names, phrases, or sentences in the Hebrew language. The sum of these numbers is then calculated and assigned different meanings.
The Kabbalah consists of a body of knowledge that includes the belief in one God, the world as a reflection of God, and the ten Sefirot, which are emanations or manifestations of God. It also includes ideas about right and wrong, good and evil.
Final Thoughts on Types of Numerology
It is important to know that numbers have meanings, and every culture, religion, or geographical location has specific numbers that define them and everything around life, spirituality, success, and events. Some use numbers to define personality traits, life events, natural phenomena and more by adding up the values of the letters in their names.
Different types of numerology systems have been used for centuries to predict an individual’s path in life, as well as help clarify patterns in history (personal, regional, and global). Therefore, regardless of your culture or religion, it is a good idea to know your numerology and understand that the meaning could have an impact on your destiny. It may also define your love life and your soul’s mission in this world. At the very least, using any of these different types of numerology can give you inspiration, clarity or insight into yourself, your life, and the world around you. As always, thank you for reading!
