ABSTRACT
Modern numerology draws much of its inspiration from the sixth-century philosopher Pythagoras, who believed that numbers represent the essence and qualities of things. Hence, an analysis of a person’s name will reveal what sort of person he is inherently. According to modern numerologists, the two most vital aspects of a person’s life and character are his birth date and his used name. The latter is said to be the name which most closely defines the identity of a person. As with astrology, numerology offers an analysis of what a person is, rather than what he may become. During the person’s lifetime as his free will comes into play he makes certain decisions as he develops accordingly. Numerology merely offers a framework for what a person may become if he follows a natural tendency. Some names are hard and aggressive, others soft and poetic, so that it is little wonder that numerologists stress vibrationary qualities of the name.
