ANCIENT GREEK CALCULATIONS

IN THE Western world, the most popular version of numerology is known as Pythagorean (based on the studies of the Ancient Greek philosopher and mathematician Pythagoras). It says everyone has a special ‘life path’ number that determines their fate and governs personality traits.

To find yours, first write down your date of birth in numbers (for example, if you were born on August 10, 1977, write ‘8’, ‘10’, and ‘1977’). Then add together each single digit — in our example you’d add 8+1+0+1+9+7+7, which is 33. Then repeat the process until you end up with a single number between 1 and 9. So in our example, you’d add 3+3 to get 6 — this would be your life path number.

CHINESE BELIEF IN LUCK

THIS belief system sees some numbers as good, others as bad. Four is considered unlucky because it sounds very similar to the Cantonese word for death. But number eight is believed to bring prosperity and good fortune to those who, for example, live in a home with that number or drive a car with it in the number plate.

THE MAGICAL ‘ANGEL’ NUMBERS

ACCORDING to this theory, ‘angel numbers’ are repeating numbers, such as 11:11, 222 or 444. These are thought to be lucky, and seeing them means your angels are trying to attract your attention.
