Numerology...is it accurate?!
Question: I just want the opinions of anyone who knows. How accurate do you think numerology is. I've looked into some numerology websites and I'm not really sure what my take on it is. Let me know your opinions.
Thanks

The mystical attraction of basic qualities of numbers resulted in strange theories about magical powers that could be invoked or discovered by carrying out certain arithmetical operations. Such a belief, based on an idea of Pythagoras that all facts can be reduced to numbers, results from a failure to understand the true nature of the concept of number.
In applying numerology to a person's name, for example, there are many different systems in this “art” for assigning numbers to the letters of the alphabet, adding them up and arriving at a series of qualities, characteristics, and specific facts that are said to apply to that person. The dubious nature of the practice becomes obvious.
Three of the most popular systems among many, many such systems to determine “name numbers” are shown here:
A = 1 1 1
B = 2 5 2
C = 3 6 3
D = 4 9 4
E = 5 3 5
F = 8 8 6
G = 3 8 7
H = 5 3 8
I = 1 9 9
J = 1 9 1
K = 2 6 2
L = 3 5 3
M = 4 7 4
N = 5 7 5
O = 7 1 6
P = 8 5 7
Q = 1 6 8
R = 2 9 9
S = 3 3 1
T = 4 8 2
U = 6 8 3
V = 6 3 4
W = 6 3 5
X = 0 9 6
Y = 1 6 7
Z = 7 5 8
The third column of numbers represents what is known as the Pythagorean system. All of these systems require the user to add together each of the digits representing each letter in the name, then to add the digits of the resulting number, and repeat that process until a number less than 10 has been arrived at. This final digit is interpreted according to the following table:
1 —— action, aggression, ambition, leadership, purpose
2 —— balance, passivity, receptivity
3 —— brilliance, gaiety, versatility
4 —— dullness, endurance, steadiness
5 —— adventure, instability, sexuality
6 —— dependability, domesticity, harmony
7 —— knowledge, mystery, solitariness
8 —— material success, worldly involvement
9 —— great achievement, inspiration, spirituality
It can be seen that there is no standard and no consistency in numerology——let alone rationality——but it provides an easy method for the naive person to play a satisfying game without having to apply any intellectual powers to the matter.
Gematria is a form of numerology which employs the Hebrew alphabet, in which all the letters also have numerical values.
Modern numerologists, quick to adopt new technologies to prove and enlarge old claptrap, have now turned to a computer number system, the American Standard for Coded Interchange of Information (ASCII), for further deep meaning of the alphabet.
I have found it to be a help only on occasion but mostly pretty unreliable.
Much of it is mumbo jumbo.
It's pretty accurate. I've done it for myself and friends and their personalities really are like their numbers say. Of course, everyone is different, so take it with a grain of salt, but in my experience, numerology has been accurate.
not very... I would instead choose astrology charts
I have found numerology to be very accurate - I use the Hebrew system and also, the numerology for years is VERY accurate, in my experience - (ie, add up your birthdate, that's your life number, now add that to any year to get what type of a year you'll be having - for example, if your life number is 3, in 2008 you'll be having a (3+2+8=13, 1+3=4) 4 year, which is all about solidity and foundation :-)
Well, after you play around with numbers for awhile, you will be able to make an informed opinion about it. Do the calculations on street numbers on houses, your social security number, you birthdate number, your bank account number, your registration number, etc. and put it together with what is described for that particular number. You will be amazed at what you learn. When you get really good at it, you can start combining this information with some astrology, and then it begins to get really scary. Happy discoveries.....
Hell, uh (lol.) Let's see. I think there's something to it but I'm not sure what exactly.

I dont believe numerology, but number 13 n 4 are taboo for me, I avoid any additive or multiplication result with that number...
No its not reliable because to many people had the same number
