To say that practical use of numerology has become more common place in the last few years would be a drastic understatement. With the dawn of the new millennium, the events of 9-11, and a recent date that was thought to be the incarnation of the number of the beast, numerology has gone mainstream. 
 
You see analysts on CNN crunching numbers and putting forth equations in an attempt to show significance between events and numbers. A bunch of recent examples have highlighted a rather spooky connection between numbers and current events.

From the first day that man began to study numbers and their significance in every day life, some numbers have been assigned certain characteristics. Some numbers have been thought to be lucky, while others are considered unlucky. And it’s not just Western culture that has done this. 
 

Cultures in Japan India and Africa have done the exact same thing, but for different reasons. Let’s take a look at some commonly known lucky and unlucky numbers to see why some numbers are cursed and some are loved.

With the rapid increase in the popularity of numerology, many different software programs have been developed to allow people to calculate their own numerology. Most of the programs out there are free of charge, but some have extra utilities that can only be unlocked once you pay. Let’s take a look at seven of the most popular numerology calculators out there and find one that’s right for you.
 

http://www.decoz.com/ Probably the most well known and popular numerology calculator website out there, Decoz offers two different types of software, a free version and a pay version. The free software is attractive and is probably the most attractive of all the calculators out there. The calculator figures personality profiles as well as a forecast report that looks at what the future holds for you and your numbers. There are also free short profiles and a chart calculator. There is even a game included that uses numerology as its basis. The pay software on the site includes 20+ page personality profiles that are much more in-depth than the one you get in the free software. It also comes with a program called Numbers Around You which takes a look at things like your phone number and address to see if you are compatible with it. This is without a doubt the most complete numerology software out there.

Numerology is one of the most interesting and popular ways of trying to tell the future. With thousands of sites on the Internet dealing with numerology, it can be tough to tell which ones are reliable and which ones to avoid. A good piece of advice is to trust your gut about each individual site. If you get the impression the person running it doesn’t know what their talking about, then move on. There are many different sites to choose from. Here is a small sample of some of the most popular sites that deal with numerology

http://www.astrology-numerology.com/numerology.html This warm and friendly site is basic in its design, but it’s heavy when it comes to the amount of information offered. It started out with an excellent introduction talking about the origins of numerology and why its popularity has exploded in recent years. The site sells one of the most comprehensive numerology reports that can be found anywhere. At 130 pages, the report delves into each and every one of our lives with a month-by-month forecast for the next 9 years, a numerology relationship reading for you and your partner and access to a members-only part of the site where you can use the site technology to put together numerology reports for your friends. The price is only $40.00 which is very reasonable when you take a look at what you get. The site also offers links on naming your baby and celebrity numerology.

There are, of course, any number of factors that contribute to whether you and that special someone are truly compatible. But checking your numbers against theirs can offer some surprising insights into the way your personalities relate! First, write your full birth name and assign numbers to each letter, using the guide below:

1   2    3    4    5    6   7    8    9

A   B   C   D   E    F   G   H    I

J    K    L   M  N   O   P   Q    R

S    T   U   V   W  X   Y   Z

Example:    J O H N –  1,6,8,5

                A L L E N –  1,3,3,5,5

                S M I T H –   1,4,9,2,8

Adding the numbers together, we get 67. Add those 6 and 7 together to get 13.  Continue to break down the digits, adding 1 and 3. John's birth name number is 4.

Now do the same for the other person's birth name, and take a look at your compatibility!
