An ancient art and science, numerology is said to have originated by the Greek mathematician, Pythagoras but could date back as far as the Hebrew Kabbalah.

To better comprehend numerology, one must understand the basic foundations:

There are 11 Core Numbers that are utilized in the construction of a Numerology report or chart. The numbers used are 1 through 11, and 22. Equations that form higher numbers are reduced (by adding digits together) until one of the core numbers is attained. The only numbers that cannot be reduced are the Master numbers, 11 and 22. These master numbers reflect a heightened or intensified degree of the core numbers 2 and 4.

In the initial portion of a numerology report, a Life path Number is established by using the 2-digit month, the 2-digit day and the 4-digit year: e.g. mm/dd/yyyy. The Life path is divided into three separate areas of one's life. Founded on the date of birth, the first life path is correlated to the month of birth. The day of one's birth is then linked to the second life path. And finally, the last life path number is based on the year of birth. The Life path number describes an individual for what and who he is.

Next, an individual's FULL birth name is used to further calculate one's numerology interpretation. Below is a list of the alphabet assigned to specific numeric values:

• 1 = A, J & S
• 2 = B, K & T
• 3 = C, L & U
• 4 = D, M & V
• 5 = E, N & W
• 6 = F, O & X
• 7 = G, P & Y
• 8 = H, Q & Z
• 9 = I & R

Now we're ready for the Expression, or Destiny Number. The expression number is based on all the letters in an individual's birth name. The expression number defines talents, and attitudes that one has or has the potential to use. To find the expression number, one must add all the letter values from each name together and then reduce the sum to form a core number.

Since we've addressed the Life Path Number, the Expression Number, now we can move on to the Soul Urge Number. The soul urge number is founded by using all the vowels (a, e, i, o and u) from one's full birth name. Once you've arrived at a sum, the number is again reduced to a single core number. This core number becomes your soul urge. The soul urge number, in my own opinion, is a defiant one. This is the number that likes to supersede the Life Path and expression numbers. It is the souls innate desires, attractions and disapprovals.

Palmist, Clairvoyant and Numerologist, Per Hogseth, utilized my birth name and date of birth to compile an elaborate and detailed report in numerology. He explained that the numerology report would present lessons I am learning in this life; my deep innate desires and gives insight on how to fulfil those desires. He also stated that the report would display my talents, personality traits, my attitudes toward work and my interrelation with others. Furthermore, he elaborated that my personal numerology report could be a beneficial guide in discovering existing opportunities, and opening new pathways to even more favourable possibilities.

Below is the report in its entirety, with annotations:

The Numerology Report by Per Hogseth

Some talents and characteristics surface at different times in your life. Occasionally, a characteristic described in this report has been present in an earlier part of your life and is not of current importance. Sometimes, a talent mentioned here is present although you may not be fully aware of it. If this is the case, check with a friend who knows you well and you may be pleasantly surprised. A few characteristics may not have appeared in your life as yet although they're described in this report. The description of these undeveloped potentials may serve to open your consciousness to new and exciting possibilities.

Overview

There are several different sides to your character, but your energy is primarily pointed in two contrary directions. A good part of you is probably devoted to people--loving, giving and responsible--but another side of you is strong and practical, probably interested in the business world or similar material activities. During your youth and young adulthood, you'll struggle to balance your desire to give to others with the necessity of taking care of your own strong needs and ambitions. You'll probably sometimes take care of one and sometimes the other, but rarely to your complete satisfaction. As you get older, you'll probably learn how to balance your generous, helping side with your ambitious, practical side so that you can feel comfortable with both.
