As mankind emerged from living a simple tribal life, numbers became increasingly important. Systems of all types were developed, from simple measurements that were used for everyday use to systems that were used for religious beliefs. These systems grew in complexity, taking on the understanding of a variety of factors. Many of these systems were developed by the Chaldeans, the Mayans, the Hindus, the Hebrews and the Chinese.
The goal of all of these first systems was to help explain the relationships that existed between man and a superior being. That relationship was often seen as being diluted by wealth, health and other aspects of man's own personal use.
Pythagoras was one of the most influential people in the development of numerology. While he did not invent this system, he was certainly interested in it enough in order to advance it. He was able to predict the future for individuals by using their dates of birth and names. It was through much of his work that we are able to have a better understanding of numerology today and how it works.
There are many different forms and systems of numerology in existence today; some of which are based on the basic forms of numerology that were first established in the ancient world. Regardless of the type of numerology that you choose to focus on you will likely notice that all forms of numerology have some basic elements in common, including the study of one's name and birth date and how they relate to a person's inherent traits and characteristics.
In addition, numerology can be used to analyze the challenges that a person may face throughout their life and the methods that can be used for overcoming those challenges. In some cases, simply being aware of those changes can be sufficient enough for the person to overcome those challenges by working at balancing out their negative traits with more positive traits.
Finally, numerology is also frequently used to analyze the potential success of a romantic relationship in order to avoid the matching of two individuals whose inherent traits could potentially spell out disaster when it comes to love and romance. Numerology can also be used to analyze the potential problems that may be present in a relationship as well.
It was the belief of the ancient Chinese that the universe was based upon mathematical principles, in other words, numbers. They believed that numbers held tremendous significance.
The Link Between Lo Sho Numerology and Chinese Numerology
Chinese numerology is actually based on Lo Sho numerology and a grid of numbers. This grid is actually quite astounding due to the fact that every single horizontal as well as vertical and diagonal row will add up to the number 15. 15 coincides with the number of days that it takes for a new moon to become a full moon. The Lo Sho grid also forms the foundation of Taoism.
It is estimated that Chinese numerology has been in existence for at least 4,000 years. The Lo Sho grid is believed to be represented by the legend of the turtle that has nine perfect squares on its back that was seen by Emperor Yu while on the banks of the Lo River.
Learning Chinese Numerology
The best way to learn Chinese numerology is to begin with the easiest method for understanding the representations of the numbers. The square that the system is based on is easy to draw. All you need to do is make the # sign and give it a border. Once the square has been drawn you will then be ready to start.
One thing to keep in mind is that the number 0 is never used. This is a number that is never used in numerology. If you were born in a year or on a date that contains the number 0 then you would just discard that number. Only the numbers 1-9 are used.
When you begin to number the squares you will begin at the bottom left. Anyone that was born in the 20th century or in the 1900s will automatically have a 1 as well as a 9 in their chart. The bottom left square will have the number 1. Moving up, there will be a 2 and there will be a 3 in the top left. The bottom center square will have a number 4. Moving upward in the same direction, there will be a 5 and a 6. The bottom right square will have a 7 while the middle square will have a 8 and the top right square will have a 9.
