Okay, so I got curious about this “47 numerology” thing I kept seeing pop up online. I’m not usually one for mystical stuff, but hey, I figured, why not try it out? It couldn’t hurt, right?
Diving In
First, I grabbed a piece of paper and a pen – old school, I know. Then I started jotting down some important dates and numbers in my life: my birthday, my partner’s birthday, our anniversary, even the number of my first apartment.
Next, I followed the basic idea, which is to reduce each number to a single digit by adding the digits together. For example, my birthday is July 23, 1989. So I did this:
- Month (July): 7
- Day: 2 + 3 = 5
- Year: 1 + 9 + 8 + 9 = 27; 2 + 7 = 9
Then added up month day and year. 7+5+9=21;2+1=3
So, my birthday number became a 3. I repeated this process for all the other dates and numbers I’d written down. It was kind of like a little math puzzle, and it actually got me thinking about these dates in a new way.
Making Sense of It
Once I had all my single-digit numbers, I went online to look up what each one supposedly meant in numerology. I’m not gonna lie, some of it was pretty general, like those horoscopes that could apply to anyone. But some of the descriptions did resonate with me, in a weird way. It was like holding up a funhouse mirror to my personality and my life.
For example, number, which kept coming up for me, is apparently associated with creativity, communication, and optimism. And hey, I do consider myself a creative person, and I’m definitely a talker! Could be a coincidence, but it was interesting to consider.
My Takeaway
So, did I become a numerology convert after this little experiment? Not exactly. But I will say it was a fun way to spend an afternoon and spark some self-reflection. It got me thinking about the patterns and cycles in my life, and the significance (or lack thereof) I choose to assign to numbers.
Would I recommend it? Sure, if you’re looking for a little bit of entertainment and maybe a new perspective on things. Just don’t go betting your life savings based on your numerology reading, okay?
