Unraveling Pythagorean Numerology

Pythagorean Numerology can be described as the study of numbers and their influence on our lives. It can also be described as a science that uses mysticism, religion, and empirical data.

As its name already says, this numerology was developed by the Greek philosopher Pythagoras, around the year 600 BC. Pythagoras in his youth, would have gone to live in Egypt, where he was around 20 years. After that, he lived for 10 years in Babylon and finally founded his school in Crotona, Italy.

Students of the School of Pythagoras were called Pythagoreans, and all devoted their studies to explaining the universe through numbers. According to the Pythagorean theory, the numbers have different metaphysical values among themselves, and this numerology is able to explain great mysteries of the universe and life.

In this article, you will see everything about Pythagorean Numerology and how it works. Check it out!

How to calculate Pythagorean Numerology

To know the numerological value of a name, it is necessary to add the value of each letter until obtaining a unique number, according to the Pythagorean table. See, below, the meaning of the numbers that accompany our lives!

Name Numbers

According to the studies of Pythagoras, the numbers have different meanings of their mathematical values. Briefly, the numbers are the qualities and digits are the quantity. According to his thesis, the numbers are part of the astral world, while the digits, the mathematics.

Following that link, numerology tells us that the Universe knows who we are by the repetition of our name, whether in written, spoken or even thought form, from before birth.

Also according to Pythagorean Numerology, each name emits different energetic vibrations, the vowels being considered the vibrations of the soul, the consonants being the dreams, and the full name being the expression. So, a good tip is to be proud of your name and your last name.

Soul number

The Soul Number, also called the Motivation Number, is the sum of the values of all the vowels in the (complete) name. This is because vowels represent desires, behaviours and, in general, the personality.

That said, take the example of Maria Souza. Adding up the vowels of her name, we have 1 + 9 + 1 + 6 + 3 + 1 = 21, and 2 + 1 = 3. Thus, the Soul Number of Maria Souza is 3.

Thus, each resulting number will indicate energetic characteristics of a person, which must be analyzed in conjunction with the Astrological positioning at the exact time of birth.

Personality numbers

The personality number is the one that shows the identity and personality. It is the one that will help to reveal some psychological tendencies. So, to get to this number, just use the Pythagoras table and add all the letters of the name to be analyzed.

Understanding the meaning of this number will help you understand why certain personality "addictions" bother you so much and don't result in the best options.

Birthday Numbers

The Birth Number, also known as the Personal Number, is full of mysticism and is energetically very strong in the life of each person. That is, the energy of the cosmic vibration relates to each person according to the day, month and year of birth.

Therefore, let's use for example a person who was born on December 13, 1984, i.e. 13/12/1984. To find out the number of birthday of this person, we must leave individualized (1 to 9) the value for the day (13), the month (12) and the year (1984).

Day: 13 = 1 + 3 = 4.

Month: 12 = 1 + 2 = 3.

Year: 1984 = 1 + 9 + 8 + 4 = 22 = 2 + 2 = 4.

Now add the result of the day (4), month (3) and year (4), and the final result is 11. If the result is a value of two non-equal digits (11, 22, 33, etc.), these numbers must also be added up until a value between 1 and 9 is reached.

Attitude figures

As Pythagorean Numerology teaches us, the attitude number is also known as the number of the first impression. In short, it describes the external behaviour of each person, that is, their interaction with the world.

It can also be said that if your Attitude Number is not aligned with Life Path Number, it is possible to get your intentions and interactions of people and situations confused.

Finally, do not forget that for a better interpretation of the meaning of these numbers, it is recommended to make a complete Numerological Birth Chart and analyze all the numbers together.

Life path numbers

The number of life path or number of destiny can be considered the most important number for the School of Pythagoras, since it dictates directions we should take at the crossroads of life.

Thus, this number is like the soundtrack of your life, as it will dictate most of the characteristics that numerology provides.

To find out your life path number, simply add up all the digits of the complete date of birth to be analyzed. If the final value is a number of two or more unequal digits, you must add them up until you get a unique value from 1 to 9 or a master number (11, 22 and 33).

The meaning of numbers in Pythagorean Numerology

According to studies and theories of the Pythagorean school, each number from 1 to 9 has an individual metaphysical meaning, being the 11, the 22 and the 33 master numbers. In this way, these numbers have distinct cosmic vibrations between them, capable of influencing the characteristics and even the destiny of each person.

Your number

According to Pythagorean Numerology, each number has a unique and distinct vibration, complete with possibilities.

A person's number is given according to the exact date of birth. Therefore, unlike other types of numerology, it is not possible to change someone's luck by adding or removing letters from their name, because their numerology was already established at birth.

In other words, the combination of your date of birth and the numerical calculation generated by your full name form your Natal Numerology Chart, according to the Pythagorean school.

The power of your name

To understand the strength of a name, it is not enough just to know the number of life, but to make a complete analysis. For example, it is possible to discover characteristics of a person, with the analysis of the first vowel of his name, with the first consonant, with the sum of consonants, etc. That is, there are several variables.

Having said this, it is important that we are called by our name, and not by diminutive or pejorative nicknames, which emit different energies than those proposed for each one. That is, in Pythagorean Numerology, each name is a kind of mantra, a sound that, when pronounced, sends and receives vibrations that reinforce its characteristics.

Pythagorean Numerology Table

The Pythagorean table, as its name already tells us, was created by Pythagoras. He believed that each sound had a different meaning and a number assigned to it. With this thesis, he created the following table, in which each letter of the alphabet has a numerical value:

A, J, S = 1

B, K, T = 2

C, L, U = 3

D, M, V = 4

E, N, W = 5

F, O, X = 6

G, P, Y = 7

H, Q, Z = 8

I, R, = 9

This is the base table for all calculations of Pythagorean numerology, which will obtain results to be analyzed more deeply by specialists, in the construction of a Natal Numerology Chart.
