Numerology has been here for a long time. As per the academic data, the Sumerians invented the first numbers about 6,000 years ago. Today numerology not only exists but also represents a multi-billion-dollar industry.

If you want to become a numerologist there are several methods that have benefited many people to be popular numerologists.

Here is everything you need to know about the education and training required, and more.

All You Need to Know About Numerology

Numerology refers to the study of numbers for divination.

Numerologists claim the future through ancient practices which are related to the numbers associated with a person’s name, birth date, and other aspects of life. They also can study and interpret the past, check a person's character, and measure the amount of luck associated with a person. Isopsephist, Integer Analyst, Divinatorialist are just some other names of the numerologists.

Options in Numerology Careers

If you are an aspiring numerologist, you can choose from a number of numerological schools or organizations including:

  1. Pythagorean Numerology
  2. Chaldean Numerology
  3. Abjad Numerology
  4. Chinese Numerology
  5. Indian Numerology

Each system assigns numerous numbers to letters to support the practice of arithmancy. Let’s understand each of them in detail.

Pythagorean Numerology

Some experts say Pythagoras is “the father of numerology,”. Many practitioners of numerology may have appropriated the mathematician’s name to support their trade.

Pythagorean numerology assigns numbers to letters, as below:

A, J, S

B, K, T

C, L, U

D, M, V

E, N, W

F, O, X

G, P, Y

H, Q, Z

I, R

In Pythagorean numerology, practitioners focus on the client’s name and birthdate.

To calculate each, you can add up the numerical values, tha often results in a two-digit number. Add the two digits to come up with a single-digit number.

As a personality number, the digit related to people’s full birth names reveals their outer selves.

The one-digit numbers related to the date of birth describe a person’s inner self and the purpose of a person’s life forecast.

Chaldean Numerology

Chaldean Numerology leverages numerous numerical assignments than Pythagorean Numerology, as follows:

A, I, J, Q, Y

B, K, R

C, G, L, S

D, M, T

E, H, N, X

U, V, W

O, Z

F, P

The number “9” remains unassigned because numerologists from Chaldean consider it sacred.

This numerology is also different from Pythagorean numerology in that the first, middle, and last names. All receive their own number but they get reduced in the same way.

In Chaldean numerology, the number for a person’s first name denotes the outer self. The number for the middle name refers to the inner self, and the number for the last name reveals aspects from a person’s family life.

Both Pythagorean and Chaldean numerology recognize the master numbers of 11, 22, and 33. Numerologists make sure not to reduce these numbers.

Required Skills and Qualifications of a Numerologist

  • Understand the basic meaning behind each of the nine `common’ integers.
  • Understand the mathematical principles behind the isopsephy conversion of letters.
  • Obtain information from the client in a persuasive and non-intrusive way.
  • Illustrate findings to the client in a logical and “story-driven” manner.
  • Reasonable skills for mathematics.
  • Communication skills are crucial because so much of the work is dependent on interpretation and analysis. Even if the numerologist is not going to give seminars, they should feel comfortable talking in detail in a face-to-face manner.

    Required Qualifications of a Numerologist

    Academic education is not a barrier. Numerologists who want to practise professionally can find clients for ongoing practice.

    There are different study-at-home courses and foundation-by-mail kinds of courses that provide great insight and are backed by certification on completion.

    Numerologists that want to give seminars are usually expected to have complete training in-house with the organisation which they represent.

    Required Experience

    The major benefit of studying numerology is that it can be easy to begin as a hobby with a single book and build knowledge slowly.

    After the initial familiarisation period, the numerologist can find that their interpretive skills get increased as their knowledge gets increased too.

    Numerologists who have made similar decisions before often say about the passion that slowly becomes a job and the enjoyment subsequently disappears. However, it depends on the person’s mindset and how they hope to move forward.

    Numerologist Salary

    Numerologists, if freelancing, can decide their own salaries. You can also ask clients to pay by the hour or request fees for the type of chart you need to prepare. Hence, the amount of money you can earn as a numerologist can vary.

    Some numerologists earn small amounts of money from different clients a day. Some of them have only a few, wealthy clients and they depend on them.

    Overall, often numerologists cost upwards of $25. Conducting seminars often cost around $50 per entrant for a well-recognised numerologist.

    If you feel unsure about how much you should charge clients, you could also contact other numerologists and request various services to find out how much they can get paid per hour or per numerology chart.

    Required Numerologist Education & Training

    Numerologists do not require formal education. However, you must practice often, read about literature as per your chosen numerological school, and learn from experienced industry experts.

    If you have numerous clients who ask for credentials, there are several institutions that offer certifications in numerology.
