Numerology: a practical introduction

Numerology assigns symbolic meaning to numbers associated with a person or event. Systems differ, so calculations and interpretations should always be explained rather than presented as established scientific predictions.

What numerology does

Numerology uses symbolic associations between numbers and themes such as personality or life direction. It is a belief or divination practice, not a scientifically established forecasting method.
