About Numerology Number Meanings

Numbers represent numerology energy. The energy is where number meanings come from.

Numerology number meanings are interpretations of the energy the numbers represent.

Generally, a numerology number is interpreted as it applies to the situation the number pertains to — examples are a destiny position in a numerology chart or the resonance of a street address.

Extensive interpretations can be made. Entire articles or even books can be written by interpreting how the energy represented by a number applies to certain situations.

For numerology charts, the energy of a certain number is interpreted differently depending on the chart position.

The energy a number represents can have an innate meaning, a meaning not associated with a numerology chart or life situation. It would be an interpretation without any particular context in mind, just the number energy by itself.

Innate meanings are the number meanings this article addresses.

The composition of interpretations depend on the interpreter — although the essence of every interpretation by numerologists using Pythagorean numerology tend to agree. (Probably there would be similar agreement among numerologists of other numerology practices. I can't make a statement either way with that because my experience is primarily Pythagorean.)

Further below, you'll find a short interpretation of each basic energy from which all numerology number meanings are derived. These are the energies represented by the ten numbers 0 through 9.

(Larger multi-digit numbers represent energy amalgamated or composed of the energy represented by each of the digits within the number and also the single digit the multi-digit number is reduced to.)
