Numerology is a curious thing. Down through the centuries, numerologists have devised various systems of using numbers to tease-out the fates of people, businesses, institutions, and even nations, and somehow, it all works. Why? Because the Universe is numbers and mathematics has been called ‘the perfect science.’ Some of these numerological systems, I’ve already covered on this website. I present to you another one.

This system of numerology comes from the book, Fortune Telling for Fun by Paul Showers. I can’t trace where he got this from, the book doesn’t have a bibliography at the end. The alpha-numeric table for this isn’t like the other three I’ve covered, Chaldean, Pythagorean, and Angelian, though it shares one or two similarities. But it is its own system. So I’m crediting Paul Showers with it. No idea how old this system of numerology is, but this book was first published in 1971.

STRUCTURE

There are five important numbers in this numerological system, four of which depend on the alpha-numeric table provided. They are:

  1. The Personality Number. Derived from the name you’re most-commonly known by, whether it’s a diminutive of your given name or surname, the Personality Number could best be described as your outer personality, and how you relate to others.
  2. The Vocational Number. Derived from your full, official name, the one which appears on your birth certificate, the Vocational Number has something important to say about your most-likely field of work in life and what sort of occupation you’re most-suited to.
  3. The Destiny Number. Also known as your Monogram Number, since it’s derived from the initials of your full, official name, this number has something to say about the general nature of your good or bad fortune in life.
  4. The Spiritual Number. Derived from your date of birth, reduced to a single number, in other numerological systems it’s been called the ‘Life Path’ or ‘Destiny’ Number. According to Showers, this number is a sort of inner-personality number, for it indicates the positive and negative traits which remain yours throughout life, no matter how many name changes you go through.
  5. The Mystic Number. This number has an ancient pedigree, reportedly. According to Showers, both the Chaldeans and ancient Egyptians knew about it and used it. The Mystic Number is arrived-at by adding-up the numbers of your first, middle, and last name, along with your monogram number, and your year of birth reduced to a single number. The resultant sum is then multiplied by 2 (there is an exception to this, but we’ll discuss that later) and the end-product is your Mystic Number. The Mystic Number foretells a specific fate which is in store for you at some point in your life. There are 83 possible Mystic Numbers, from 8 to 90 and the one you end up with can be either a good or a bad fate. If, for any reason, you change your name, your Mystic Number would also change.
