What is Vedic Numerology?
Vedic numerology, also known as "Indian Numerology" or "Chaldean Numerology," is a system of numerology that originated in ancient India and is closely related to Vedic astrology. It combines elements of both Vedic astrology and traditional numerology to provide insights into a person's life, personality traits, and destiny based on their birth date and birth name.
In Vedic numerology, each number from 1 to 9 is associated with a specific planet or celestial body. These numbers are believed to carry unique vibrations and energies that influence a person's life. The numbers are also associated with specific characteristics and traits.
To calculate the various numerological numbers in Vedic numerology, certain calculations are performed based on the date of birth and the full birth name. Some of the key numbers calculated in Vedic numerology include:
-
Life Path Number: This is calculated from the date of birth and represents the core purpose and traits of an individual.
-
Destiny Number: Also known as the Expression Number, it is derived from the full birth name and reflects a person's talents and potential.
-
Soul Urge Number: This number, derived from the vowels in the birth name, represents a person's inner desires and motivations.
-
Outer Personality Number: Calculated from the consonants in the birth name, this number reveals how others perceive a person.
-
Maturity Number: Derived from the date of birth, this number indicates the person's attributes and characteristics in mid-life.
Vedic numerology is often used alongside Vedic astrology to gain a deeper understanding of a person's life and to make predictions about various aspects of their life journey. It is believed that the energies of the planets, as represented by the associated numbers, play a significant role in shaping a person's experiences and personality traits.
As with other forms of numerology and astrology, Vedic numerology is not scientifically validated, and its principles are based on belief and interpretation rather than empirical evidence. People who are interested in Vedic numerology often seek guidance from practitioners or numerologists to gain insights into their lives and make decisions based on the interpretations provided by the system.
