Vedic Numerology or Sankhya Shastra in Sanskrit is an ancient science that deciphers the vibrational meaning of numbers and seeks to understand the life and personality of a person and his or her fate. Vedic numerology emphasizes more on three base numbers that are based on your date of birth and name as opposed to Western numerology which tends to look at the complete name of an individual.
The basic concept is that the figures 1 to 9 have distinctly different cosmic energy and are attributed to a certain planet. The knowledge of these figures can help us to get to know our weaknesses and strengths and the possible direction of our life.
According to Vedic Numerology, three numbers are used to determine your own chart.
P
)
This figure is referred to as the Birth Number as well. It is a mirror of your personal self, your character and yourself. It brings out your primordial inclinations and gifts. It is computed based on the day of the month at which you were born.
Add the numbers of the date of birth (day of the month) to come up with a single digit.
If you were born on the 15th: 1+5=6. Your Psychic Number is 6.
If you were born on the 29th: 2+9=11-1+1=2. Your Psychic Number is 2.
2. The Destiny Number (
D
)
This figure is also referred to as Life Path Number. It shows you the purpose of your life, the result of your future endeavors, and the things that you are supposed to learn. It is the figure that identifies your way in the world.
Add up all the numbers of your full birth date (day, month and year) to get a single digit.
If you were born on November 15, 1985:
Month: November is the 11 th month and 1+1=2.
Day: 1+5=6.
Year: 1+9+8+5=23-2+3=5.
Now, sum these single digits: 2+6+5=13-1+3=4.
Your Destiny Number is 4.
3. The Name Number (
N
)
This is the number that the world has of you and the vibrations that you give off. You can make it change and modify it to make your life better. The English alphabet has numbers that correspond to each letter in the system of the Vedas.
