What to expect from a numerology reading?

Numerology is the ancient practice of converting letters into numbers (A=1, B=2, C=3, etc), and comparing the results to uncover the hidden associations between words. Unlike modern numerology (which revolves around interpretations of individual numbers), this older form of numerology (known as isopsephia or gematria) focuses on lists of words, names, and dates whose numeric values match your own numeric value in some way. The daily readings we offer here combine your birthdate and birth name with the current date in order to uncover words of particular relevance to you today. For more detail, you can generate a personal profile for yourself or your favorite celebrity. Interpretation requires attention to detail, but the advantage of pure numerology is that the readings are entirely objective - you can even check the math yourself. (source: www.facade.com)

Be aware!!!

According to an advertisement in Parade magazine (Feb.25, 1996), the definitive text on numerology was written by Matthew Goodwin, an MIT graduate who once worked in the personnel department of an architectural firm. He learned "this science of numbers" (as he calls it) from a clerk at the office. The ad is a pseudo-article and is nothing more than an invitation to send him $9 for a numerological reading worth "$80 or more." In his advertisement, he explains how numerology works. It all starts with your name and birth date. They are the data base from which a numerologist is able to describe you, sight unseen. Number values are assigned to the letters in your name. By adding these--with the numbers in your birth date--in a multitude of combinations, a numerologist establishes your key numbers. He then interprets the meaning of these key numbers, which results in a complete description of your personal characteristics. According to Mr. Goodwin, through numerology you can "see all the diverse parts of your personality and how they uniquely come together to make the person you are." I'd say the odds are about zero. Nevertheless, numerology shouldn't be brushed off without a thorough examination of its underlying theory. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any. We are just supposed to take Mr. Goodwin's word for it that numerology works, even though we have no idea how it works. That is, numerologists can produce a "reading" for you, just as astrologers, biorhythmists and Myers-Briggs can. And you will be amazed at how "accurate" the reading is! You may not even be aware at how selective your thinking has become as you are dazzled by the accuracy of your reading. When you get your reading, you may find yourself ignoring the parts that don't fit you at all, and focusing on those parts that do seem to fit. They may actually fit you or they may fit your image of how you would like to be. No matter; if they fit, you may fall for it. (source: www.skepdic.com)
