Numerology determines which numbers are lucky for you. It is believed that numbers have vibrations which can influence your destiny. 1 is the number of the Sun, 2 is ruled by Moon, 3 is influenced by Jupiter and so on.

Each person is governed by three numbers: birth number, destiny number and the name number. While the birth and destiny numbers are determined at birth, individual name can be chosen to add up to a favourable number to give boost to the luck factor.

Numerology assigns a number to alphabets, e.g. A=1, L= 3, I=1, S=3, H=5, A=1, so as per numerology Alisha = 14 (compound number) and 5 = single number. 5 is a number of communication, ruled by Mercury and a good number. Ideally, Numerology should be used before naming a baby rather than change the spelling of name in adulthood by adding extra "a" as in Shobhaa or "r" in "Irrfan" .

In addition to selecting a name with a suitable spelling for babies, the scope of Numerology extends to selection of a name for a firm, company, film, building, premises or house, pet or anything which carries a name.
