This is a fascinating guide to how the power of numbers, with their positive and negative attributes and vibrational energies, can help us understand the universe we live in. You can discover how numbers have a greater significance in the wider world than is often perceived. You can learn how numbers can help you gain a deeper insight into your own habits, spiritual challenges, family characteristics and personal qualities. You can find out whether you are a Number One personality, displaying courage and innovation; a Number Six, the home-maker, or revolutionary artist; or a Number Four, a person of action able to turn dreams into reality. It contains a concise history of numerology, practical exercises throughout, and over 100 illustrations.

Numerology is the science of numbers and cycles that has a specific application to each individual, and this book shows how numbers, and their various attributes, can shape our lives. Working out a personal number is easy and fun, using the number derived from a person's name to assess personality and motivation, while the birth date gives signals about how a person develops their potential. At a psychological level each number is assigned a series of qualities that can assist in mapping a life path.
