(These numbers are derived from where the letters fall within the alphabet. Letters which fall in the double-digits are added together until they are one digit. For instance, the letter "L" is the 12th letter of the alphabet, so in order to keep it within the 0-9 range, you add the numbers in 12, 1+2=3, and then 3 becomes "L"’s representative number.)
It is commonly believed within numerology systems, that the numbers of the name determine a person’s character, and a person’s birth date effects his/her destiny. The Pythagorean numerology tends to bring out a person’s "natural talents, abilities, and tools that are given at birth. The birth date represents what must be learned or mastered in life to achieve success ." (Strayhorn, 14)

Birth Numbers and Their Importance
Ralph’s Birth date: 12/22/62
A birth number is the day a person is born on. For Ralph, his birthday of the 22nd becomes a 4. (2+2=4)
The following description is taken from Numbers and You:
"Born on the 4th, 13th, 22nd, or 31st of the month, you like to think of yourself as different in some way from the rest. You have a sense of accomplishment, a sense of purpose and vision. Although you are cautious and deliberate in nature, in the heat of an argument, you tend to take the side opposite popular opinion. This may lead to secret enemies or opposition. You have a mechanical, mathematical, and inventive turn of mind. Your birth number also suggests a moody personality, and a tendency for your feelings to be easily wounded. Another aspect of your birth number is to attract those outside your own social background. You have a strong attraction for the odd and unusual and love to be different from others. This may explain your inner urge to rebel against rules and regulations. Uranus is the planet of your birth number, and Sunday is your best choice of the week." (Strayhorn 97)
Life Cycle Numbers
There are three cycles in life, the first is based on the number of your month, the second on the day of your birth, and the third on your year of birth.
The first cycle of life represents the formative years, usually from ages 1 to 28. For Ralph his number is 3 (12 or 1+2=3), means that his early years mean the following:
From Numbers and You:
"The number 3 in the first cycle governs those of you born in March and December. You’re likely to be influenced by a third party other than a family member, during this early stage in life. Your 21st and 24th years, should prove important in some way. There will be a pronounced need to express the self through words, music, and art. This usually occurs at an early age. If December is your birth month, you’re likely to have a better chance at getting started in life than those born in March.
The second cycle of life represents your productive years, from the ages of 28-56. "It governs your adulthood, maturity, career, marriage, children, goals, and objectives."( Strayhorn 100) This number comes from a person’s day of birth. For Ralph that number is 4 (22 or 2+2=4).
From Numbers and You:
"The number 4 in the second cycle governs your life if you happen to be born on the 4th, 13th, 22nd, or 31st of the month. Generally, the first 31 years of your life may be your most difficult. But around your 31st birthday or just afterward, circumstances and events should come under your control. You are cautious and deliberate by nature and inclined to view most things contrary to how others see them. Occupations, careers, friends, and associates that are considered odd and unusual will be attractive during this cycle. You’ll find those born in the months of February, June, and August drawn to you; also those born on dates adding up to 1,2,5, and 7."
The third cycle of life is calculated from the birth year, and represents end of your life, from ages 56 onwards. This cycle represents what influence and contributions a person will leave behind:
Ralph’s third life cycle number is:
1+9+6+2=18=1+8=9
From Numbers and You:
"The number 9 in the third cycle governs your last years if you were born in a year adding up to a 9. The rays of influence on your life should begin to be felt by your 54th birthday. This last stage of your life should be filled with constant activity, meeting outstanding celebrities and personalities, as well as traveling the globe. At this stage of your life guard against bumps and bruises, arguments, cuts, burns, auto accidents, dangers from machinery, and fire arms, fevers, and high temperatures.
Personal Destiny Number
Finding the personal destiny number can help a person figure out what lessons they will learn in their lives. Here’s how the personal destiny number is calculated:
For Ralph’s destiny number, add:
0012
0022
+1962
1996=25=(2+5)=7
From Numbers and You:
Destiny Number 7
You must learn to be: spiritual, analytical, intuitive, faithful, original, independent, professional, silent, knowledgeable, truthful.
Learn NOT to be: skeptical, pessimistic, cold and aloof, fault finding with others, afraid, nervous.
Master Numbers
There are two master numbers, 11 and 22. If the master numbers appear in the birthday, they should not be reduced. Ralph’s birthdate of the 22nd, qualifies him as having a master number.
From Numbers and You:
The master number 22 deals with the physical plane...In modern Numerology, the 22 is all powerful and far reaching in its influence. Under this number, master achievements become quite possible. It has the power to make or break, depending on the person holding this number…those carrying the 22 in their names or birth dates must learn the right use of its power, for the 22 can tear down and destroy as well as build. Precision, accuracy, analysis, and determination are strongly associated with the number 22. A 22 person usually has a strong mechanical turn of mind and the power to succeed in whatever areas of interest are the strongest.
The 22 is composed of two 2’s. The 2 by itself represents the Moon and is inventive, artistic, and imaginative. However, when you ad up 2+2 you get the single number 4. This represents the number 4. This represents the planet Uranus, which governs odd and unusual things, social questions of all kind, new schools of thought, and the like."
A person can get their personal year forecast by adding together the following:
Using Ralph as an example:
0012(birth month)
0022 (birth date)
2001 (present year, or year you want to forecast)
2035= 1 personal year
The following forecast is taken from http://www.decoz.com/DoReading_numerology.htm:
Your Personal
Year Cycle for 2001 is 1:
Be ready for major changes. You will be inspired to start new projects or enterprises.
You will feel a strong forward push toward new goals.
This is a time for vision and planning. Share your dream with others; make plans,
get the necessary support, but, above all, rely on yourself as the driving force.
Be decisive! You are starting a new nine year Epicycle. Everything you do now
will affect your future. Do not hold back the inner force of creation. Be direct,
daring, bold.
You will have more confidence and determination this year, particularly in comparison
with last year, which was a time of letting go. This year represents a time
of birth. It's a time to take charge and to apply yourself to your dream.
This is also a good time to make the personal changes you have long wanted to
make: start a diet, an exercise program, begin a new course of study.
There may be some emotional turmoil, especially in the first two or three months.
It takes a while to get the ball rolling. There are many changes you must make
and much work to be done.
Be open-minded, organized, and focused. Avoid distractions and procrastination.
You are at a crossroads. You will need courage and a clear head to stay on the
right track.
This is a year of opportunities.
The key months in your year ahead are March, in which you are able to lay the
foundation to your plans; April, in which changes take place such as a change
of residence or career; July and August mark a time in which you will see the
fruits of your labors begin to take place; October represents a major turn in
events, often fraught with emotional turmoil; the fall marks a coalescing of
your plans into more concrete form.
