Numerology  -- With an Eastern Approach

By Karl Mason
2005

30 years ago, I began working with numerology from a different perspective than the traditional Western way.   I began assigning planetary energies to each of the numbers, and it wasn’t until the early 1991 that I discovered a book on Vedic Numerology by Harish Johari that I saw how similar the Vedic system was to what I was doing.   Johari’s book enabled me to expand my system even further and incorporate the energies of the North and South Node, or Rahu and Ketu.

I have found that when looking at world events which happen on “2” days – the 2nd, 11th, and 20th, that little comes of the event, where, when world events happen on “4” and “8” days, the 4th, 13th, 22nd, 8th, 17th, and 26th, events can be quite destructive.   I was living in California in 1993 and left at the end of December, feeling that something dire was about to happen there, and 17 days later, on January 17, 1994, an “8” day, one of the most devastating earthquakes occurred in Southern California.    There are many other world events which support this theory, in fact, the Tsunami in Indonesia occurred on December 26, 2004, an “8” day (add the 2+6=8).

In my system of Numerology, I pay more attention initially to the date that someone was born on, such as the 3rd, 23rd, 30th, etc., and reduce this number to a single digit.    I feel this number is much more intimate with the person than the other numbers in their birth makeup.    I still look at all the birth numbers added up together, reduced to a single digit, but the true intimate soul of the person comes from the single digit on which a person is born.    For instance, regardless of what the rest of the numbers in the birth date add up to, if the date on which they were born is a “1” (born on the 1st, 10th, or 28th), that person is going to be very independent, a real pioneer.   

Men born on the 2nd, 20th, or 29th find it more difficult than being born on other days of the month, where women find it more difficult being born on the 9th, 18th, or 27th day of the month.   The “2” is the most feminine number and “9” is the most masculine number.
