| NUMEROLOGY | | | |  | | | | WHAT IS NUMEROLOGY?
Numerology is an ancient science, its millenary roots stem from Chaldea, Egypt, Greece, China and India.
It is based on the study of numbers, of their hidden meaning and symbolism. It is used to determine a person's personality, strengths and talents, obstacles to be overcome, inner needs, emotional reactions and ways of dealing with others.
Decoding the letters of the alphabet used in names and first names yields accurate information concerning personality, nature, qualities and shortcomings.
Studying the date of birth uncovers our life path, with its joys and trials.
Numbers can be compared to notes: depending on their position, they generate a vibratory, cyclic and cosmic music, which modulates our life.
Accordingly, we might say that numerology sees life as a music score, where each page stands for a different melody!
Thus, if you know the rules, the understanding and observance of a numerological chart allows you to play with virtuosity, achieving full command of your life in all areas: affective, professional, or spiritual life as well as self-understanding. | | | 
| | | | | | DIFFERENT TYPES OF NUMEROLOGY
The three major forms of numerology in use today are the Kabbalah, the Chaldean and the Pythagorean. I will be using the Pythagorean methods when describing the associations between Tarot & Numerology, below you can find the basic meanings on each method and tables. | | | |  | | | | Kabbalah (Hebrew Alphabet)
The Kabbalah (which means knowledge that comes through the mind and soul rather than through a flesh and blood teacher) originated in Hebrew mysticism, and interprets only the meaning of the name. The Kabbalah was developed for the Hebrew alphabet, and therefore has only 22 vibrations ranging from 1 to 400. It was adapted for the Greek alphabet, then further adapted for the Roman alphabet. A New Kabbalah has also been developed for use with the modern Roman alphabet. It, too, is based on name, and relies on Pythagorean methods to determine time periods. The New Kabbalah is concerned more with events than character. | | |
| | | | | | Chaldean
Chaldean numerology was originally developed in Ancient Babylon (now Iraq), and combines Kabbalistic name interpretation with aspects of astrology. The 9 is considered holy and therefore is kept apart from other vibrations, except when it results as the sum of vibrations (e.g., from an individual's name). In Chaldean numerology, compound numbers always used. Single digits represent the outer aspects of a person, while double digits reveal inner influences.
| | | |  | | | | | | |
| | Pythagorean
The Pythagorean method was developed by Pythagoras, a Greek mathematician and metaphysician who lived during the 6th century BCE. He was most widely known for his proposition that the square of the hypotenuse of a right triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
Pythagoras was as interested in metaphysics and spiritual development as he was in math, so it's no wonder he joined the two disciplines. He studied at the Hermetic (after Hermes, messenger of the gods) Wisdom Schools of the Egyptian holy city of Heliopolis (later named Alexandria) and incorporated many of the same teaching techniques with his own students in Greece. For example, his students had to memorize everything rather than write it down. This approach is still used for geometry students learning theorems.
The right triangle was Pythagoras' "Eureka" (which means "I found it"). The right triangle can also be used to symbolize the world of an individual and serves as the original basis for the numerological interpretation of the life pattern of an individual. Like the Chaldean method, Pythagorean numerology analyzes both name and date of birth, and the interaction between the two. The basic vibrations are 1 through 9, although the 11 (K) and 22 (V) are not reduced to a single digit because these are master vibrations. | | | | | 
| | |
| | | | | | HOW NUMEROLOGY WORKS
Everything in the universe vibrates at its own particular frequency. By finding the vibration rate of any object, you can establish the qualities and energies associated with it. By applying the principles of numerology and using only the name and birth date as the basic data you can determine the major frequencies of different people. A numerological analysis of the calculated frequencies provides significant information on these people's personalities and character.
The reduced vibrations are by nature general. The basic vibrations give ballpark information that can be helpful and is summarized by key words associated with each. You will notice that the characteristics associated with each vibration are both positive and negative. | | | | | | | | THE BASIC NUMEROLOGY CALCULATION
In the basic mathematical operation used in numerology, the numbers are reduced by simple addition. The number 15, for instance, is reduced by adding 1 + 5 to get 6.
Similarly, the number 1974 can be reduced by adding 1 + 9 + 7 + 4 to get 21. The 21 can be further reduced by adding 2 + 1 to get 3.
In numerology, all numbers are reduced to the single digits 1 through 9 except the special master numbers 11 and 22. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11 and 22 represent the major vibration rates associated with people's characteristics.
Letters in individuals names are converted to numbers and then added together. These numbers, in turn, are also reduced. The letter A, for instance, is 1; the letter B is 2; the letter C is 3, and so forth. The following table shows the numbers assigned to all 26 letters in the English alphabet. | | |  | | | | | By applying simple mathematical formulas to the numbers representing a person's name and birth date, a numerologist can derive four major core elements and some twenty or thirty modifiers. A symbolic evaluation of these elements and modifiers provides a remarkably complete and accurate character analysis. (About half the information in the analysis, incidentally, comes from the birth date and half from the name.) | | | |

| MEANINGS OF THE NUMBERS | | | 
| | | | | | Just like the Tarot cards, numbers too have meanings and will represent a significant make-up of your life. If you are interested in learning more of the basics about Numerology and what the number means to your Life Path, or Expression, then I suggest a good book that will teach you how to use numerology, as well as learning what the numbers mean. I have only touched a small percentage here with numerology and how the Tarot is associated with it, but numerology is a lot more then this.
Below you will find meanings of the numbers to help you further learn the meanings of each number, and how they can relate to Tarot cards. Also note, that if there is a prodominence of a number in a spread, look here to see what perhaps it can mean. A prodominence of numbers in a spread can mean many things. | |  | | | | | ZERO
Although Zero is not considered to be an actual number or part of numerology, I have included it in this section, because our friend the Fool represents Zero and he of course plays a significant role with starting out in our Tarot journeys, being the first to start out in our decks.
Meaning: Zero is the number of nothingness and potentiality. Ancient numerologists regarded the circle (0) as the perfect form. Zero is the symbol of the Cosmic Egg, the archetypal feminine creator of life, and of immortality. Zero precedes all numbers and symbolizes the continuous cycle of life: birth, death, and rebirth. The Fool Trump is the only Tarot card to bear the number Zero, and Zero cannot appear as a life path or personal number. | | | | | | | ONE
Meaning: One is the start of a cycle, one of new beginnings. People who are ones are natural leaders, self-sufficient, ambitious, pioneering, individual, attaining, and warrior types. The Aces of the Minor Arcana each bear the number one and symbolize the seeds of starting points of each of the four suits. The four Aces are the initiating forces of their corresponding elements (fire, earth, air, and water). The Major Arcana cards corresponding to one are; The Magician (1), The Wheel of Fortune (10/1), and the Sun (19/10/1). Astrologically the number one is associated with the Sun
Keywords: Singularity, initiation, fresh action, originality, progress, ambition, courage, exciting changes, new beginnings, planting seeds, the start of enterprises, having babies, new ventures, inner strength, conviction, decisiveness, confidence, leadership, aggressive energy, attainment, pioneering, administrating, creativity, originality, ego, self, independence, and individuality. | | | | | | | TWO
Meaning: Two is the number of balance. Two gives direction to the seeds planted by the ones. People who are twos are often loving, a good peacemaker, analytical, an ideal partner, cooperative, adaptable, and considerate of others. The Twos in the Minor Arcana offer a balance of their corresponding elements (fire, earth, air, and water). The Major Arcana cards corresponding to the number two are; the High Priestess (2), Justice (11/2), and Judgement (20/2). Astrologically the number two is usually associated with the moon.
Keywords: Balance, empathy,consideration,over-sensitivity, choice, harmony, moderation, pairs of opposites, duality, polarity, partnership, friendship, relationships, group activities, cultivation, reflection, development, affection, affirmation, patience, quiet waiting, tending the garden, confirming a new direction, cooperation, diplomacy, persuasion, sympathy, devotion, and working with others. | | | | | | | THREE
Meaning: Out of the partnership of the number two, threes offer offspring,births, children, new paths, and creative ventures. People who are threes often bring joy, outgoing,imaginative, expression, verbalization, socialization, and are often in the arts. Sometimes three signifies death that makes way for new life. The three in the Minor Arcana extend the direction set by the twos and give a broader perspective. The Major Arcana cards corresponding to the three are; the Empress (3), the Hanged Man (12/3), and the World (21/3). Astrologically the number three is associated with Jupiter.
Keywords: Joy, procreation, completion, parenthood, unfolding, recreation, romance, travel, pleasure, happiness, enthusiasm, planning, preparation, optimism, imagination, fun, entertainment, art, talent, benefits of fruits of partnerships, adaptability, sociability,superficiality, optimism, artistic and self-expression. | | | | | | FOURS
Meaning: Four is the number of foundations, of the structures of reality. The four dimensions of the physical world are length, width, breadth, and time. A compass has four directions. People who are fours usually work hard, are practical, gets things done, a builder, order, service, and steady in growth. Four in the Minor Arcana often represent actualization, solidity, persistence, and stubbornness. It is also one of rest, and reflection, a time to watch the rewards grow from the first 3 numbers. The Major Arcana cards corresponding to four are; the Emperor (4), and Death (13/4). Astrologically the number four is commonly associated with Uranus.

Four refers to temporal power, parents, and authority figures. | | | FIVE Meaning: Five is a number of crisis and of adjustment due to feedback. Significant shifts or adjustments in family, home, or career are often herald by the number five. Creative solutions can emerge out of periods of instability and wondering where you are going with your life. People who are fives are often bold, daring, and persuasive, they enjoy the finer things and are oftenvisionaries, adventurous, and free. Five in the Minor Arcana often challenges and disrupts the well-established solidity of the four, a search for order and form to bring order out of chaos. The Major Arcana cards corresponding to five are; the Hierophant (5), and Temperance (14/5). Astrologically the number five is associated with Mercury. Keywords: Adaptation, disruption, adventure, challenge, competition, travel, freedom, activity, expended horizons, new opportunities, resourcefulness, self-promotion, marketing oneself, romance, excitement, risk-taking, breaking out of a rut, deciding on new direction, variety, progressiveness, versatility, new friendships, socializing, travel, juggling many abilities and change.
SIX Meaning: Six is a number of peace, calm, contentment, self-acceptance, and satisfaction. People who are sixes are warm, nurturing, and happily domestic people, who are found to be reliable, counselor types, balance, caregiver, responsibility, and protection. Six in the Minor Arcana is the calm after the storm of the fives, it represents harmony restored after the disruption. The Major Arcana cards corresponding to six are; the Lovers (6), and the Devil (15/6). Astrologically the number six is associated with Venus.

SEVEN Meaning: Seven is often a spiritual number, and refers to respite, introspection, contemplation, and evaluation. People who are sevens are often deep thinkers, analyze and research everything. They tend to be spiritually inclined, unique, eccentric,understanding, knowledgeable, and aware of things and situations around them. The sevens of the Minor Arcana like the fives tend to disrupt the harmony of the sixes, but bring greater variety, activity, expansion, experimentation, and imagination into life. The Major Arcana cards corresponding to seven are; the Chariot (7), and the Tower (16/7). Astrologically the number seven is often associated with Neptune. Keywords: Respite, introspection, contemplation, evaluation, soul development, biding time, pondering choices, sorting out options, intellectual pursuits, study, meditation, mental analysis, research, unique approaches, specialization, thoughtfulness, understanding, planning, patient waiting, solitude, wisdom, occult studies, spiritual awareness, truth, fault finding and technical or scientific matters.
EIGHT Meaning: Like the fours, eight is a number of order, achievement, recognition, and power. People who are eights are decisive, forceful, good with money, accomplished. They enjoy practical endeavors, power seeking, status oriented, and material gain. The eights of the Minor Arcana are trying to gain accomplishment in the material world. The Major Arcana cards corresponding to eight are; Strength (8), (in some deck it can be Justice), and the Star (17/8). Astrologically the number eight is associated with Saturn. Keywords: Order, achievement, recognition, power, regeneration, money, progress, worldly success, advancement, organization, structured patterns, financial stability, opportunity, status, work, sound judgment, capability, authority, unscrupulousness material satisfaction, setting priorities, executive ability, management, and accomplished.
NINE Meaning: As the final single digit number, nine represents the end of a cycle or phase of life and the preparation for entering a new phase of existence. Nine signifies the final integration of the previous eight stages of the cycle. People who are nines are often inspired, intuitive, and creative. They seek to improve the world, a humanitarian, giving to nature, selflessness, and a philanthropist. The nines in the Minor Arcana are often relates to wisdom learned, ideals, and spiritual knowledge.

TEN Like the Zero, ten is not normally a number associated with numerology, because it reduces to 1 (1 + 0 = 1). But because there are ten Minor Arcana cards in each suit, I wanted to place its significance here. Ten is often a transition point from one cycle to another. Ten is a number of completion and final ending. As one more than nine, ten often signifies "one too many." Because ten reduces to one it is the start of a new cycle, time for another spin of the Wheel of Fortune. The Minor Arcana cards that relate to ten often signify, completion, you have finished and mastered the final challenges, and have now entered the final endings, usually of happy natures. The Major Arcana cards corresponding to ten is; the Wheel of Fortune (10/1)

| THE MASTER NUMBERS
There are 3 double-digit numbers that, while they are rooted in the single-digit numbers, require special emphasis and attention. These are 11, 22, and 33.
They are called Master numbers because they possess more potential than other numbers. They are highly charged, difficult to handle, and require time, maturity, and great effort to integrate into one's personality.
The 11, 22 and 33 are master vibrations, and therefore are not reduced when doing chart calculations. When these vibrations are active in an individual's life they can be reduced by the way that person lives them, and in such instances, they take on the negative aspects of the reduced vibration. Thus an individual can turn the imagination and inspiration of the 11 into the leaning, whining co-dependence of the negative 2, or the material mastery and world vision of the 22 into the stingy drudgery of the negative 4.
Below I have listed the meanings or the Master Numbers corresponding the Tarot. | | | | | | | ELEVEN
Meaning: The eleven is the most intuitive of all numbers. It represents illumination; a channel to the subconscious; insight without rational thought; and sensitivity, nervous energy, shyness, and impracticality. It is a dreamer. The eleven has all the aspects of the two, enhanced and charged with charisma, leadership, and inspiration. It is a number with inborn duality, which creates dynamism, inner conflict, and other catalyses with its mere presence. It is a number that, when not focused on some goal beyond itself, can be turned inward to create fears and phobias. The eleven walks the edge between greatness and self-destruction. Its potential for growth, stability, and personal power lies in its acceptance of intuitive understanding, and of spiritual truths. For the eleven, such peace is not found so much in logic, but in faith. It is the psychic's number. The Major Arcana card corresponding to eleven is Justice (11), (in some decks it is also Strength). Astrologically the number eleven is often associated with Pluto.
Keywords: Insight, spiritual understanding, inspiration, awareness, revelation, illumination, intuition, creativity, idealism, teaching, wisdom, compassion, and enlightenment. | | | | | | | TWENTY-TWO
Meaning: The 22 is the most powerful of all numbers. It is often called the Master Builder. The 22 can turn the most ambitious of dreams into reality. It is potentially the most successful of all numbers. It has many of the inspirational insights of the 11, combined with the practicality and methodical nature of the 4. It is unlimited, yet disciplined. It sees the archetype, and brings it down to earth in some material form. It has big ideas, great plans, idealism, leadership, and enormous self-confidence. If not practical, the 22s waste their potential. Like the 11, the 22 can easily shrink from its own ambition, causing difficult interior pressures. Both the 11 and the 22 experience the pressure-cooker effect very strongly, particularly at an early age. It must work toward the realization of goals that are larger than personal ambition. The 22 serves the world in a practical way. The Major Arcana card corresponding to 22 is the Fool. He has mastered all the previous cards, and has become the Wise Magician.
Keywords: Self-discipline, broad-based mastery with spiritual awareness, practical idealism, material mastery, get-rich-quick schemes, viciousness, master builder, latent power, nervous tension, spiritual understanding of material world, and high ideals. | | | | | | | THIRTY-THREE
Meaning: The 33 is the most influential of all numbers. It is the Master Teacher. The 33 combines the 11 and the 22 and brings their potential to another level. When expressed to the fullest, the 33 lacks all personal ambition, and instead focuses its considerable abilities toward the spiritual uplifting of mankind. What makes the 33 especially impressive is the high level of sincere devotion. This is shown in its determination to seek understanding and wisdom before preaching to others. The 33 in full force are extremely rare.
The number 33 only matters when found among the core numbers: The Life Path, Heart's Desire, Expression, Personality, Maturity number, or as an Essence cycle or Pinnacle cycle. In all other cases the 33 should be reduced to a 6.
The fact that the 33 is extra-ordinary demanding and rare can be seen symbolically in the methods of calculation.
For example, a 33 Life Path can happen only when each of the 3 units of the birth date (month/year/day) add to 11. Or when the year adds to 22 (in the 20th century there are only 7 years that add to 22: 1939, 48, 57, 66, 75, 84, and 93) and the month and day of birth combined total is 11. And finally, when the birthday is 22 and the month and year of birth total 11. | | |

CALCULATING YOUR NUMBERS
Numerology is a simple art, that it not hard to calculate, although what you may find hard however is the meanings of the numbers and how they relate to you.
The following calculations I will be using here are related to the Tarot and numerology, so once you find your numbers you will be able to look up the corresponding Tarot card meaning and how it affects your life. If you wish to get more into your Life Path, using numerology then please get a good book on numerology, and one that also will give you good definitions of the numbers meaning.
FINDING YOUR LIFE PATH, BIRTH FORCE & DESTINY NUMBER WITH THE TAROT USING YOUR BIRTHDAY
The most important number is your Life Path; it describes the nature of this journey through life. The Life Path number is derived from your exact day, month and year of birth. To find your path number, add the numbers of your day, month, and year of birth. Take this sum and add the digits together until you get either a master number (11 or 22) or a single digit (1 through 9). That is your life path or birth force number. It has to do with the fundamental make up and the major lessons you must learn in this lifetime.
Example: My birthday is 26 (day), 5 (Month of May), and 1973 (the year I was born).
Together you would add them as;
1973
26
5
2004. Now add the digits of the sum; 2 + 0 + 0 + 4 = 24, because 24 is not a single digit or master number we add its digits together 2 + 4 = 6. My life path or destiny number would be "6"
Try to figure out your Birth Force or Destiny Number, and read the following definitions that might describe a little about yourself.
YOUR PERSONAL YEAR NUMBER Calculating the personal year number is similar to calculating the life path number. The only difference is that you use your birth date in current year instead of the actual year of birth. The personal year number tells you the numerological significance of the current year in your life. Knowing your personal year number helps put the current year into perspective. In a Tarot spread, a predominance of a certain number will have the similar effect.
** Note: Years according to your birthday run from birthday to birthday. So for example my birthday is in May, and we are only in the month of March 2002, then I would calculate my birthday according to the year just passed May 26th 2001. As soon as my birthday passes for 2002 then I would calculate May 26th 2002**
Example: 26 (day I was born), 5 (month of May), and 2001 (the year currently in according to my birthday).
Together you would add them as;
2001
26
5
2032 Now again add the digits of the sum; 2 + 0 + 3 + 2 = 7. My personal year number for May 26 2001 until May 26 2002 would be "7" Once my birthday comes in 2002 I would than add 1 number making it a "8" year between May 2002 and May 2003.
USING LETTERS TO HELP FIND YOUR PATH In this next section we will be using parts of our name to help us determine who we are. Use the chart below to help find your numbers.
**Note: If you are married or changed your name for any reason, you might want to add up first your original or maiden name given to you at birth, and then also try your name you use now, to see if perhaps there has been a change in an area, after changing your name**
YOUR EXPRESSION The Expression number is derived from all the letters in your name. It is the number that describes the talents and attitudes at your disposal in this lifetime if you choose to develop and use them.
Example: Using the name Joan Beatrice Jordan you would calculate the following;
J O A N B E A T R I C E J O R D A N
1+6+1+5 +2+5+1+2+9+9+3+5+1+6+9+4+1+5 =75 Now add the digits together 7+5=12 and reduce it again until you have a single number 1+2=3 So the Expression number for this name would 3.
Using the chart calculate your name and find your Expression.
YOUR SOUL URGE The Soul Urge is the motivator and stimulator of action in your life. Your Soul Urge has probably dictated what you are doing with your life or what you think you would like to be doing, your natural talents as reflected by your expression notwithstanding.
This number is made up from the vowels (a, e, i, o and u, and y when it is used as a vowel) in your full birth name just as it is recorded on your birth certificate. A Y is a vowel when there is no other vowel in a syllable (Lynn or Carolyn) and when it is preceded by a vowel and sounded as one sound (Hayden).
To find your vowels use the chart above.
USING THE TAROT DIRECTLY For the following calculations we will relate directly to the Tarot cards and their suits, more so than actual numerology meanings. When doing your calculations below, we will be reducing any 11's to a 2 and 22's to a 4, only because we will be using the suits from Aces to Nines.
WHAT SHOULD I BE WHEN I GROW UP?
Wands are about the things we do for a living, and in this section we will be using the first ten Wands in order to select the type of work that suits you.
To find this number we will be using the first initial of your first name as well as your full last name.
Example: J. Jordan would equal
J J O R D A N
1+1+6+9+4+1+5= 27 adding the digits together again we get 2+7=9. So using this name we would refer to the 9 of Wands.
Using the chart above find out how successful you will be.
HOW DO I GET ALONG WITH OTHERS? Cups represent things that are near and dear to us, and issues dealing with our hearts. In this Section we will be using the first 10 Cup cards, which equate to Hearts in a standard card deck. To find this number you will use your full first name.
Example: Joan= 1+6+1+5= 13 reduced again = 1+3=4. Using this name we would refer to the 4 of cups.
Use the chart above calculate how you get along with others.
HOW SUCCESSFUL WILL I BE? Swords are particularly well suited for helping you think about strategy, power, success, and the inevitable conflict that surrounds your pursuits. In this section we will be using the first 10 Sword cards. To find this number use only your initials of your first, middle and last names.
Example: Using the name above it would look like this JBJ
J B J
1+2+1= 4, so this person would look at the 4 of Swords for their Success.
WILL I BE A RICH MAN? Pentacles are especially good at answering questions about money matters. In this section we will be using the first 10 Pentacle cards. To find this number refer back to your Expression number by using your full name. You again will use this number in this example to find out if you will be rich!
Example: Joan Beatrice Jordan = 3 in the Essence part. This person would then refer to the 3 of Pentacles.

| PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER | | | | | | | | HOW NUMEROLOGY AND TAROT CARDS ARE RELATED
What's with the numbers on the cards anyway? Are these numbers important? Do the numbers influence the cards? Perhaps you have found yourself asking these questions at some point in your life, well here are some answers.
The numbers on the cards add meanings to your interpretation of the cards. The numbers just like images tell a story. Numerology is the ancient science of names and numbers. One of the oldest sciences, it's a companion to both astrology and the Tarot. Numerology puts meaning to the numbers. Understanding the meaning of the numbers allows us to do many things including;
Understanding relationships
Analyze human qualities
Awaken spiritual awareness
Predict the timing of events
Have universal understanding
Many people use numerology everyday, and it is studied in the same aspect as Astrology is. With numerology you can chart your name, life, or any other aspect of your personality you wish to know about.
The ancient science of numerology is used in the tarot deck in a number of ways. As you already know, the Tarot deck is divided into two sections: The Major Arcana and the Minor Arcana (note that the 2 is for balance). Each card bears a number, but precisely applying the meanings of a particular number to the corresponding meaning of a particular card doesn't always hold consistently throughout the 78-card deck.
The Major Arcana has 22 cards (0-21) and, 22 is a master number. The number 22 is considered the most powerful of all numbers. It is called the master builder number, because it symbolizes the potential for bringing spiritual understandings into physical form. 22 symbolizes mastery and inspiration, and utilize intuitive insights, coupled with practical methodology. The 22 is meant to serve the world in its mastery. So by looking at the Major Arcana deck, we could say these cards serve to bring us spiritual knowledge to our earthly life. They are the first 22 steps of our spiritual path from the material world, back to oneness with God.
The Minor Arcana has 56 cards. If we add 5+6 (reducing the numbers), we get the master number 11. The 11 is the most intuitive of all numbers. It symbolizes illumination and intuitive understanding, especially of spiritual truths or principles. The 11 focuses energy on the "outer world" consciousness, but we can use that same energy to turn inward to create fears and intense conflict in our lives. The 11 symbolize truth found in faith, not in logic and the Minor Arcana is all about how to do life. These cards hold intuitive understandings for how we live our lives everyday.
The Minor Arcana is also made up of four suits; each suit has four court cards and all the rest of the cards are numbered Ace through 10. The significance of these numbers is that 4 represents order and 1 through 10 represents a cycle completed.
Do you now see the relationship between the Major and Minor Arcana and numerology? These few paragraphs just discuss how the Major and Minor Arcana's are related in numerical significance, below you will find links to a more in-depth meaning of the numbers, and also how they can help describe who you are in life, as well as what path you are following in your life's journeys.
Unfortunately because numerology is such a large topic of discussion, I will just be using examples of numerology and how it is associated with the Tarot cards only with in this section. There are many great books out there that you can read up on, to help you learn a little more about numerology, but I will be discussing the basics here and its association with the Tarot. | | | |  | | | | USING YOUR CALCULATIONS
