We have always been interested in the workings of the world; it is our innate curiosity to learn about our future and discover what it has in store for us.
This curiosity about the future makes astrology and numerology so popular.
There always comes a difficult choice to choose whether which of the above two will give the right result.
Can Numerology ‘The Science of Numbers’ predict, suggest or give options to your future? or is it just astrology ‘the science of light’?
The debate
The debate between astrology and numerology has been around since the advent of time and the beginning of sciences. Astrology is associated with the arbitrary position of the sun.
Also with other celestial bodies in the sky at the time of birth and their overall effect on personality and human life.
While numerology takes into account numbers, which when added together tell us about their effect on a person’s life and character.
Astrology and numerology are reflections of the same theory, but with a different practical approach and usually with the same results.
What do they actually do?
Before we explore that path, we need to know that their impact on life is different, which means we can’t really judge them, but we can know how well they excel in the science they do.
Let’s get a general overview of both and then conclude how they impact a person’s life.
What is astrology?
The question of the future has always fascinated man and his struggle for a better future. It is the reason astrology steps in and provides a solution based on actual science.
Astrology tells us how to analyze our situation at the moment, make better decisions and not make bad decisions so that we do not encounter any obstacles.
It is the zodiac system where the beginning of the 12 signs is determined by the apparent position of the Sun around the Earth, where the Sun crosses the Earth.
All four seasons begin with a sign, for example north in spring defines Aries, while autumn in south marks the beginning of Libra.
What is numerology?
From nothing to everything, from singularity to the infinite and ever-expanding cosmos, numbers have existed since the advent of time. And for that very reason, no one can deny the crucial role it plays in our lives.
The science of numerology has been around since the ancient Babylonians, and it was the Pythagorean school of thought that helped modify it, where it exists today and continues to influence people’s lives.
In numerology, where each number has a unique energy associated with it as it is associated with luck, one can allow the driving force of life to flow through these numbers and help bring about a positive effect.
For example, changing your name produces better results, while other practices involving numerology have proven to be very accurate.
The distinction between astrology and numerology
The differences between astrology and numerology may be too obvious, but they are actually indirectly related. Here are some of the main similarities and differences between them.
Use of mathematics
Mathematics is actually a universal language. It is the language that conveys truth and a direct connection to the cosmos. The use of numbers and their applied operations differ in numerology and astrology.
In astrology, inferring the apparent position of the planets and stars basically requires a certain amount of geometry that helps in deriving observations.
While mathematics in numerology revolves around the probability of numbers and their certain occurrences, as well as the meaning behind them. Such as the importance of different constants or the golden ratio etc.
Circumstances and their consequences
The headline may seem confusing, but what it actually means is whether a certain circumstance will have any consequence. In astrological study, birth, time and place are of great importance.
Because it is believed that a certain magnetization occurs when a child is born, and the rising or setting of the planets or stars with respect to their positions is observed. Astrology does not necessarily predict the future, but rather explains it by explaining the person.
In numerology, which is more concerned with general numerical analysis, birth, time and place take a different approach in its study.
Every single number assigned or found to a person is unique and has its own meaning, without any relationship to any object other than the number itself and the specific vibration of energy it possesses.
Numerology excels at predicting the future, and is of great importance compared to astrology.
Connection between astrology and numerology
As mentioned above, both are different sciences, but since they are highly dependent on mathematics and both can be interpreted through numbers, therefore, the assignment of energies to a number of planets, stars and their constellations also understand the significance of the natural energy inflow and the understanding it.
For example, in numerology, the numbers 0-9 are given separate and unique meanings for their vibrations. While in different astrology, planets are given their specific numbers along with their zodiac sign that forms a birth chart.
For example, zero is ruled by Pluto, 1 by the Sun, 2 by the Moon, 5 by Mercury, 8 by Saturn and 9 by Mars.
Conclusion
The combination of astrology and numerology (Astro-Numerology)
The techniques of numerology can also be used to understand astrological data. The merger of both sciences creates a new discipline called astro-numerology.
This will help make it more beneficial for both sciences by charting the data in horoscopes and other forms, which will help find meaning in people’s lives.
Some numerologists think that numerology is actually a number version of the science of astrology.
