“Mathematics is the study of numbers. Numerology is the interpretation of numbers.” ~ Michael John Fierro

Numerologist and Author of YOU KNOW YOUR NAME…LOOK UP YOUR NUMBERS

Numbers play an extremely important role in our daily lives. Whereas, mathematics is the calculation and study of numbers, numerology is the interpretation of numbers.

Numerology is one of the most ancient of the esoteric sciences and in some ways is a sister science to astrology. Unlike astrology, numerology has never been mainstreamed thus the public’s knowledge and awareness of it is not as great. Astrology can, and will be affected by the discovery of any new planet in our solar system. (In early 2011 there was talk of the need to include Ophiuchus as a thirteenth sign and in 2005, NASA scientists announced the discovery of what could be a planet beyond Pluto). There is absolutely no chance that anyone will discover a new number between 1 and 9 which give numerology a constancy and consistency that is unchangeable. Numerology’s beginnings date back to the time of the ancient Chaldeans and ancient Greece, approximately 500 B.C. Pythagoras, who may be better known for his mathematical theories, particularly the Pythagorean Theorem of triangles, is generally considered the “Father of Numerology”. He recognized the importance of numbers in all there is and how numbers were the basis for our understanding of our world and the Universe as a whole. In ancient times, the political, spiritual, and religious leaders in their decision-making processes used the study of numerology. “To the Pythagoreans, numbers were both living entities and universal principles, permeating everything from the heavens to human ethics. In other words, numbers had two distinct, complementary aspects. On one hand, they had a tangible physical existence; on the other, they were abstract prescriptions on which everything was founded.” (Mario Livio, Is God a Mathematician?) Numerology, the clarion call of the only true vibration there is in the Universe. It is the rhythm and harmony of the cosmos and we are all a part of the melody which is God’s song. Each of us is a note in the symphony of all there is. Our being exists so we may play our particular note in this grand opera, which is the ALL. Presented within these pages is a means for you to listen to the conductor (inner self) and follow its direction. This will allow you to experience the joy of playing your own unique individual part, a part that can be heard, felt, and appreciated by everyone. Through this process, you will be led to the point of being able to experience yourself as a part of the greater harmonious whole. Numerology presents a way of understanding and is a way of manifesting that understanding in all that you are and do. Through understanding where your spirit (Soul Urge) desires to go and directing your mind (Personality/Image) in the right direction, you are able to fully express yourself (Expression) along the glorious path that you chose to travel (Life Path). It is a system that is used to analyze and understand the forces, energies and vibrations at work in an individual’s life. In this fashion, its use has not changed throughout the centuries.  All the information necessary to formulate and interpret an individual’s numerology chart is gathered from a person’s birth date and name, (the name exactly as it is spelled on the birth certificate). Confirmation and baptismal names are not used as these names are arbitrarily assigned for religious ceremonies. It is extremely important that the exact name and spelling of that name as it appears on the birth certificate is used, since this is the vibration that your soul chose for this lifetime. Within your name and birth date are all the talents, abilities, personality traits and lessons that are present and necessary for this incarnation of your soul. To put it another way, your date of birth is “the road in life which you are traveling,” and your name is “the vehicle that you are driving”. You can never get off that road because you are unable to change your birth date, although you can change your vehicle because you have the ability to change your name. My study and interpretation of numerology is based on the use of your birth name only, since this is the vibration that your soul chose before entering this plane. In my practice, I have done numerous readings where an individual has seldom or never used their birth name and it has always been interesting for me to see how “out of touch” with themselves these people really were. This consequently led to lives which were beset by confusion and where a sense of being disconnected led to an undercurrent of a feeling as though something was wrong… an undercurrent that coursed beneath the surface of their life. I therefore feel that it is extremely important for everyone to take the time to reacquaint themselves with their original energy. Through an understanding of this vibration, will you be better able to understand yourself. An important point to remember is that your birth name energy is always at work underneath any name changes and, name changes do not always work in someone’s best interest. A new name may provide a vibration, which works in either concert or conflict with the original name creating what is known as intra-personal stress. Many name changes throughout a lifetime create multiple layers of vibration which often results in a sense of “not really knowing who you are”. Many women will identify with a shift in vibration within themselves upon marrying and taking on their husband’s name. The last name, the surname of any individual, carries the karma of the family that bears the name. It is my belief that your soul chose your name, birth date and family of origin because it knew who it needed to be, what it needed to do, and with whom it was necessary to establish connections and complete ‘unfinished business’. It was aware of the karma of the family surname and part of its creation on this plane included working through that karma, thus it was ‘equipped’ to do so. When marrying and taking on the husband’s name, the individual takes on some of that karma, adding to a situation where you are working through what you chose with your name coupled with working through something that you are not equipped to handle, as the husband’s family karma has nothing to do with you. Your own experience, or the experiences of those you know, will confirm this. It is for this reason that I suggest careful consideration before taking on the name of someone else, in addition to your own. I have counseled people where an arbitrarily chosen new name has wreaked havoc in their lives, creating dynamics of addictive or aberrant behavior. The caution here is to choose a name wisely and above all else, get to know and understand who you are first, as revealed by your birth name. It must be noted that before there were alphabets, numbers existed. Alphabets were developed from numerical systems. To this day, the Greek and Hebrew alphabets are also representative of their numbering systems, i.e., alpha is 1, beta is 2, and so on. Additionally, numbers are one of the constants in the universe. All things, known and unknown, resonate to a numerical vibration. In science, the table of elements lists a number for each and every element known to man, e.g., Hydrogen is 1, Helium is 2 etc. Because of this, all that exists, be it animal, vegetable, or mineral, animate or inanimate, can be reduced to a mathematical equation. The exploration of space and the universe is done using mathematical equations and calculations. Thus, we can understand the importance of numbers in all that surrounds us in the world in which we live. Numbers are the constant, the “thread that runs through all there is”. As above…so below; as within…so without. We note the importance of numbers in our daily lives as we are surrounded by phone numbers, bank accounts, house numbers, social security numbers, credit card numbers, and more. All these numbers and combinations of numbers play important parts in our everyday existence. Consequently, it would be virtually impossible to live without the integral part that numbers play in our lives. Taking all of this into consideration makes it easy to understand how the study of numerology can assist you in better comprehending the power and energy of your name. Once you have learned and understood the meanings and characteristics of the individual numbers from one to nine, you will be prepared to use this information consciously and through that usage you will have a better understanding of how numerology works, whether or not you know it exists. My interpretation of numerology centers on the understanding and acceptance of the human condition of an individual with all its frailties and potentials, ultimately leading to you taking responsibility for your life and who you are. It is my desire and intent to lead you on a journey of self-exploration and empowerment, wherein you come to a deep understanding of your own individual Being. There is a part of the Great Spirit/God energy that dwells within you, and everything that is part of the Universe that you inhabit and this is the focus. Through understanding, acknowledgment, and acceptance are you able to take control of your life. These steps lead you to take responsibility for your life, enabling you to move forward with love and grace, as you move out of the finger- pointing blame game, a condition that takes so much energy in which to participate. June 2013-A 12/3 UNIVERSAL MONTH As a 12/3 Universal Month, June will be a waiting period as public perceptions begin to change. This is a time when a change of view or reversal is possible on issues of importance. This could be the month when the gun control legislation is brought up for another vote and succeeds in passing as there is also an element of completion involved.  This is a time for the cultivation of the courage of convictions and the propagation of truth. It is also a time for the righting of wrongs regarding people and policies, so we may also see further movement in the realm of gay rights. Reforms may take place and progressive ideas may gain new followers as we move through the month. Since 3 is an emotional number, greater attention may be paid to the people and their wants with closer attention being paid to the details, as well as to the organizations that have formed to put forth a cause. New voices may be heard as more people begin to speak up and offer their feelings and opinions on that which is taking place. Since we are in a 6 Universal Year, social activism may be a part of this conversation (think back to 1968). The 3 energy will also lend itself to greater creative and artistic endeavors as people look for new, and/or greater means of self-expression. Social events may play a part in the expansion of these ideas and concepts. There may also be a greater increase in the level and intensity of communication as the public discourse takes on a new energy. Economically, things will continue to improve with an uptick in personal spending (especially on non-essentials) and continuing increases in the stock markets. On the negative side, improvements and progress may be hindered by continuing frustrations and obstacles with particular attention being focused on obligations and debt. Wherever possible, lend your voice to the dialogue, and collectively work towards continual improvement in all aspects of society and government. Blessings of Love & Light Michael John Fierro]]>
