How to Use Numerology

Numerology can be used as a personal compass—one that reveals who you are at your core and helps guide decisions, timing, and relationships. You don’t need to be an expert or a mystic to use it. All it takes is a basic understanding of how numbers work symbolically, and how to calculate the ones that matter most.

The most popular and foundational number in numerology is your Life Path Number, calculated from your full birthdate. It represents your soul’s blueprint—your personality traits, strengths, challenges, and the overall direction of your life. Many people begin their numerology journey here, as it often explains parts of themselves they’ve felt but never fully understood.

Other important numbers include:

Expression/ Destiny Number – derived from your full name at birth, it reveals your natural talents and life purpose.

Soul Urge Number – calculated from the vowels in your name, it uncovers your inner desires and emotional world.

Personality Number – based on the consonants, this reflects the version of you that others see.

Personal Year Number – gives insight into the energy and themes influencing you during a specific calendar year.

Repeating Numbers - most common ways people encounter numerology is through synchronicities—those uncanny moments when a specific number seems to follow you around. You glance at the clock: it’s 11:11. A receipt totals $5.55. You see license plates ending in 333 three times in a day. Coincidence? In numerology, probably not.

These repeating number patterns, often called angel numbers, are believed to carry energetic messages from the universe, your higher self, or spiritual guides. Each number vibrates with a specific frequency, and when it repeats, its energy is amplified.

Here’s a quick breakdown of the most commonly seen repeating numbers:

111- Manifestation power is high; watch your thoughts

222 Balance and partnership; trust the timing

333 Creative expression; your guides are near

444 Protection and foundation; you're being supported

555 Big changes are coming; stay adaptable

666 Reconnect to your inner truth; balance the material and spiritual

777 Spiritual alignment; wisdom and divine guidance

888 Abundance and karmic cycles; material and spiritual success

999 Completion; let go, it's time to move forward

000 Infinite potential; divine reset or unity with Source

Tip One: Pace Yourself 

It’s important to have the right pace when you describe your story’s setting. This helps ensure you give your readers an accurate mental image of your setting and characters without boring them with too many details. 

One easy way to accomplish this is by dividing your information based on the scene. 

For example, if you’re writing a scene where a new character walks into the room and find yourself info dumping their appearance, try dividing bits and pieces of their description. Start with a simple description of their general characteristics, maybe their clothes are a certain colour or their face looks worn and tired. 

Only move on to describe more details once your scene progresses. Your protagonist could maybe notice how their green eyes glint in the sunlight when they take a seat on the chair beside the window. Or they could unbutton a very expensive coat when they take a seat, with the clothing indicating their status. 

This technique can also be employed for layouts and room descriptions. Maybe your protagonist walks into a very expensive ballroom with large bay windows but only notices the breathtaking view on the other side of the glass when they take a break from their dancing. 

Tip Two: Only Mention What’s Relevant

If writers always only wrote about what was relevant to their story’s plotline, info dumping wouldn’t be a thing. It’s easy to get excited when you’re writing your WIP. After all, there are so many different things you want to show your readers to make them understand the complexities of your tale. But writers can often find themselves info dumping because of this. 

Here’s something you probably didn’t want to hear: your readers don’t need to know everything about your book. 

It’s an annoying truth, but something you need to come to terms with when writing. 

As mentioned in my previous blogs posts, it’s important to know how much of your worldbuilding should be shown in your book and when to mention which parts of your worldbuilding. 

For example, saying a new character had a tortured look in their deep grey eyes that reminded your protagonist of the rumours of their childhood might be intriguing, but it’s important to consider whether or not that little piece of information is relevant to the current scene. 

If a piece of description or information isn’t relevant to what’s going on in your current chapter then consider cutting it out to eliminate any info dumping. This is especially important during fast-paced scenes such as fights or emotional revelations. 

Tip Three: Set A (Word) Limit

If you’re really struggling with info dumping then try setting a limit to restrict how much you write. Go back to any parts of your WIP that you think have a bit of info dumping and check how many words or paragraphs that part has, then set a goal for how many words/paragraphs you want it to be. Paste that particular text into a different document and start snipping away at unnecessary information or wordy areas until you reach your desired word or paragraph count. 

You can also do this for scenes that are overly descriptive. Following the previous examples, if you have a scene where your protagonist walks into a new room or a new character makes an appearance then try cutting out bits of the initial description and relocating them to a later part of your scene in order to meet your desired word limit. 

Tip Four: Get Poetic 

Do you know when people don’t mind long descriptions? When they are poetic and paint a vivid image in their head. These types of descriptions can help immerse your reader before you move into the heart of your scene. 

It doesn’t have to be long or overly dramatic, but a good piece of description can help you set your scene without accidentally info dumping. 

However, this tip should be used sparsely throughout your book in order to ensure you don’t constantly break your reader’s immersion. It’s important to ensure your poetic descriptions actually tie into the heart of your chapter. For example, don’t go describing a character’s hair poetically if that character only showed up to tell your protagonist something.
