Numerology in India is gaining popularity with every passing day. According to numerology each number acquires the sensations of a particular planet and accordingly each alphabet has the vibration of a particular number. These numbers reveals some of the behaviour traits, emotional reactions, talents, strengths, obstacles of a person. It has also been mentioned that numerology discloses the traits of human beings that exist in the human sub-conscious mind. Numerology is basically the study of relation between human beings and numbers.

Concept of Numerology
Numerology is based on the concept that each number represents the vibrations of a particular planet and each alphabet corresponds to the vibration of a particular number. Right from the numbers influencing the core basis of the personality (birth date), or a changeable but important influence in a person`s life (name), numbers act as compelling forces in human destinies. In ancient India, ancient sages also established relationship between numbers and names.

Origin of Numerology
It is believed that around some 10,000 years back Numerology originated in Egypt and Babylonia. With the passage of time, numerology in India has been improved and the studies and researches have been taken further. The branch of numerology encompasses diverse studies in a variety of sectors. The numerology report is made by using some simple devices namely the core and the core element that includes Soul Urge, Birthday, Life Path and Expression.

Process to determine Numerology
The process of numerology is simple and effective. Like for instance, if a person was born on 23rd July, 1978. The core birth date will be 23. Thus, it can be written as - 2 +3 = 5. Five is the basic number with the vibrations of Mercury. This person`s personality will be coloured by the qualities bestowed by this number. Anyone born on 5th, 14th and 23rd of any month will have the basic number 5. For further conclusions, the entire birth date will be added. It is as follows -

23/ 07/1978
2 + 3+ 7+ 1+ 9+ 7 + 8 = 37
3 + 7 = 10
1 + 0 = 1

Number 1 possesses the strong vibrations of Sun. Thus, the person is also coloured to an extent by the characteristics of number 1. Moreover, calculating the numbers of a name is equally simple. Each alphabet matches with a particular number. The numbers are mentioned below -

A=1 B=2 C=3 D=4 E=5 F=8 G=3 H=5 I=1 J=1 K=2 L=3 M=4 N=5 O=7 P=8 Q=1 R=2 S=3 T=4 U=6 V=6 W=6 X=5 Y=1 Z=7

The numbers corresponding to the alphabets in the name has to be added up. For example, in case of the name Mani Ratnam, total sum of the numbers will be -

M A N I
R A T N A M
4 + 1 + 5 + 1
= 11

2 + 1 + 4 + 5 + 1 + 4
= 17
1 + 1 = 2

1 + 7 = 8
2 + 8 = 10
1 + 0 = 1

The vibration of the given name corresponds to the all-powerful vibes of number 1. Thus the name imparts the colours of number 1 to the already present personality traits of that particular person. The basic numbers vibrate in accordance with a planet each. People who are born in the single, or core numbered date such as 1 to 9 of any months, are distinctly imprinted with that number`s traits.

There are compound numbers from 10 to 31st of every date. 10 will correspond to number 1, (1 + 0). 23 will have the basic number 5, (2 + 3) etc. These compound numbers not only relate to the basic single numbers, but also to the karmic consequences hidden in them. Each compound number will give different effects on life patterns of the person. For example, a person with number 19 or 21 influence will automatically have a relatively rewarding life. On the contrary, a person born on dates 8 or 29 might have to face more challenges in life than average.

For example, 5 is the number related with communication. Number 14 and 23 are considered as the karmic reward number. Many people born in these numbers are naturally gifted with flairs in writing and oratory skills. Also, spellings of people`s names are usually changed to suitably bring them more favour in their respective fields.

No wonder, today, with the vast influence of numerology in India more and more people are opting for the change in their name`s spelling. The numerologist should do a thorough checking of the horoscope to understand the already present karmic influences in the native`s life, and then he should suggest the correct numbers to generate the appropriate influence in their life for overall success.
