What is the scope of numerology? Well, the whole universe of numerology lies between the numbers 0 to 9. These 10 digits command the world, as far as the scope of numerology goes! Numerology makes definite attempts to establish an esoteric or mystical relationship between human begins, the events related, and the numbers. In numerology, these numbers raise the fingers to decide the events related to the life of any individual.

The relationship between numerology and mathematics is comparable to the relationship between astronomy and astrology. Numerology was popular among the early mathematicians like Pythagoras, but the present day scientists are not prepared to give it the same credit. They dismiss it in the name of  pseudomathematics.

According to the new age definition of numerology, each number has definite characteristics. There are many popular methods of calculation in numerology, such as Pythagorean method, Hebraic Method, Chaldean Method, Phonetic Method, Japanese Method, Helyn Hitchcock's Method, and the Indian Vedic Method.

Is the purpose of numerology and astrology same? Are their functions similar? Well, the ways may be different, but the end results are the same. Ultimately, they both tell you about future. But in astrology, there are certain remedial measures, whatever may be the merit of the measure, to correct difficult situations and ill influences of the combination of the celestial bodies in relation to your horoscope. Numerology has no provision for that.

In numerology, your date of birth and the number that is derived from your name through a particular type of combination is more important. Your overall personality, your weaknesses and strengths and talents are indicated through the numbers based on your name.

Whether numerology promises you a happy life or not, is a different matter altogether. But, you can spend interesting time, making numerological calculations. The results of numerology may not help you, but they will not harm you either. The best part of numerology is that you can do the calculations yourself, once you know the basics. As compared to astrology, this science is economical, as modern astrologers are professionals who demand high fees.

That which was given to you, without your asking for it, must be due to the divine grace! Your date of birth for example. You were destined to take birth on a particular date, and you had absolutely no role in it. Your name too was given to you, perhaps selected for you, by your God-like parents and you had no role in the selection process of the name too!

Numerology gives strong indications that certain numbers (your lucky numbers decided as per numerological calculations), will show up again and again in the important turn of events in your life.  You are attracted to those numbers like a magnet. These numbers give you positive vibrations.

Your life Path number is your luckiest number. It is just like the Sun Sign in astrology. Add together all the digits of your full date of birth and repeat the process until you get a single digit. The second luckiest number is your date of birth.

Those who have faith in numerology, strongly believe the occult manner in which the numbers reflect the character tendencies and aptitude. They say that it is the integral part of the cosmic plan. Each number has a cosmic vibration. The ultimate calculations, done as per the procedure laid down in the science of numerology, give an interrelated vibration. Such numbers reveal a lot about you, your purpose and goal in life, motivations, and about your latent talents, which you can exploit to the hilt, once you know that you have the support of the cosmic numbers. Those experts who practice numerology, can give you firm indications about the time when you have to take major decisions in your life regarding business or any other important events.  Numerological calculations are used  to decide about marriage, long term and short term investments and many such day-to-day as well as important things in life.

A wealth of literature is available to the lovers of numerology. Even as the credit goes to the Greek mathematician, Pythagoras (569 to 470 B.C.), the later pioneers are Hebrew Kabbala and Florence Campbell. Lately, numerology has caught the imagination of the modern generation.

The latest in the numerology is that you can change your name, the resultant change in your lucky number and the vibrations will bid well for your future. This is a dimension which is liked more by the lovers of numerology.

You can change your name any number of times to fetch luck, until you are happy with your state of affairs. And that makes you the creator of your destiny, and not it's victim! What say?
