Mastering numerology is like mastering any skill. The more you
know about the tools you are working with - the more adept you
are going to be at accomplishing the craft.

In this case your tools are the numbers themselves and the
craft is the extent of your personal ability to interpret the
numbers.  The more you know about what each number symbolizes
the better able you will be at divination and personality
analysis.

You might be wondering why Blair and I have chosen to
introduce you to the meanings of the numbers first before
we introduce you to the reductive calculations used for the
divining of such numbers as your personality number,
your soul urge number or karmic number.

It is because when you get to more advanced calculations you
will need to start learning by eye and intuition to come to
conclusions about just how much of a number is dominant in
a particular name. This is particularly true when it comes
to defining more abstract numbers such as the Planes of
Expression, Essence and Life Challenge numbers.

In the case of the planes of expression, essence and life
challenges calculations you will be asked to weigh out the
dominance of a certain number against others. For instance
you can be the most dominant number 1 personality in the world
(as ones are famously very self-centered) but if your name is
dominated by 9s your innate selfishness may be very much
mitigated by a desire to sacrifice all for others. This is
because nines tend to follow a more humble or spiritual path
in life.

So as you can see, numerology can be as complex as the human
personality itself and it takes a number of calculations to
paint an entire portrait of  a human's psyche. In fact one
could say that there are about as many numerological
combinations in this type of divination as there are human
individuals so it is very, very rare that two complete
numerological charts are the same.
