What are the 3 Pillars of Your Numerology Chart

The first pillar: you

First, there is you, the individual, with your talents, abilities, personality traits, idiosyncrasies, dreams, hopes, likes and dislikes, and what have you. All of which is revealed in your name. Your full name at birth truly is like a blueprint of who you are; the unique and fully self-contained individual who lives inside your skin. The logic behind that is easy to see. After all, when you introduce yourself you say: “I am so-and-so,” thereby truthfully stating who you are (and revealing much more than you probably intended). Even when you use a shorter version of your name, or a nickname, the same applies, slightly adjusted to reveal a somewhat different view of you, perhaps even a little distorted, but still you.

When your Numerology chart talks about the core numbers that are derived from your name, or the arrangement of letters that make up your name, or the numbers missing in your name, or those that are present in abundance — any time the information comes from your name — you have to read and understand it as such: it’s you. Not your future, not the direction of your life, nothing but you, the individual.

The second pillar: your path

Secondly, is your path — the direction in which your life wants to move. This is not your future forecast, nor is it your “destiny.” It is truly a path, and since there is no point of arrival where you could say, “I have fulfilled my destiny and therefore my life is completed,” the words destiny or goal do not apply. They are misnomers and therefore confusing. It’s a path, and in Numerology it is quite aptly named your Life Path. This is the most important number in your chart because, in a way, you could call it your purpose. And no, the words destiny and goal are not synonymous with purpose. (I consider it your “small” purpose, as opposed to your “large” purpose which I believe to be reaching enlightenment or self-realization. As you can see, I believe in aiming high.)

This Life Path number is derived from your date of birth. It signifies the window in time through which you came to be in a human form, to live a number of years, until you come to another window through which you step out of this life leaving your human form to return to dust. That, at least, is the way I see it. But rest assured, by no means do I see it as my job to convince you that my vision is true.

What I do want you to understand is that Numerology, if interpreted properly, views your Life Path as indicative of the direction and the evolutionary progress you are meant to follow. It’s a cycle, it changes and it’s dynamic, not stable and stagnant. The attributes belonging to whatever number your Life Path happens to be, are not inert but active. And they were given to you because you need them in order to progress along your life’s path. If you consider this versus my explanation of how the numbers in your name affect you, you will realize that their influence is very different.

The third pillar: your future

Finally, there is the third pillar: your future forecast. Here too, the numbers are based on your date of birth, because they were set in motion by your birth. The moment you stepped onto your path, the cycles kicked in and started influencing you as time went by. This is another undeniably beautiful piece of logic behind the science of Numerology. Like the gears of the universe clicking into gears set in motion by your own birth, everything works together, and if you look closely — as Numerology does — you can recognize the synchronicity and, to some extent, predict future influences and events.

Three sides of a single, amazing story: you, your path, and your future.
