Numerology is the belief that all of life's events are defined by the mystical relationship between you and your life numbers. 数字命理学是一种信仰，认为生命中的所有事件都是由你和你的生命数字之间的神秘关系所定义的。

In the world of Harry Potter, Hermione Granger's favorite subject is arithmancy. The novels don't offer much detail, but they make it clear that arithmancy involves the magical properties of numbers. Hermione learns to use complex charts to perform numerical divination, or tell the future using numbers.

在哈利·波特的世界里，赫敏·格兰杰最喜欢的科目是算术占卜。小说没有提供太多细节，但它们清楚地表明算术计算涉及数字的神奇属性。赫敏学会了用复杂的图表进行数字占卜，或者用数字预测未来。

In real life, arithmancy is known as numerology. According to numerologists, everything in the world is dependent on numerical patterns. These patterns come from the numbers' inherent vibrations.

在现实生活中，算术占卜被称为数字命理学。根据数字命理学家的说法，世界上的一切都依赖于数字模式。这些模式来自数字固有的振动。

As the numerology theory goes, each number has a unique vibration, giving it certain properties. These properties can shed light onto a person's behavior or predict whether romantic partners are compatible.

根据数字命理学理论，每个数字都有独特的振动，赋予它特定的属性。这些特征可以揭示一个人的行为，或者预测恋爱对象是否合适。

Numerological chart analysis can determine a person's lucky number or angel numbers. These recurring numbers offer clues into how the world works or the significance of people and events. According to many numerologists, nothing happens by accident — everything happens because of numbers.

命理图分析可以确定一个人的幸运数字或天使数字。这些重复出现的数字提供了一些线索，让我们了解世界是如何运作的，以及人物和事件的意义。根据许多数字命理学家的说法，没有什么事情是偶然发生的——一切都是因为数字而发生的。

Most numerologists credit the Greek philosopher Pythagoras as the founder of numerology. Pythagoras and his followers, known as Pythagoreans, studied mathematics, music and philosophy. Many textbooks credit the Pythagorean school with several important discoveries, including:

大多数数字命理学家认为希腊哲学家毕达哥拉斯是数字命理学的创始人。毕达哥拉斯和他的追随者，即毕达哥拉斯学派，研究数学、音乐和哲学。许多教科书认为毕达哥拉斯学派有几个重要的发现，包括:

In addition, Pythagoras and his followers believed in mystical properties of numbers. According to Underwood Dudley, author of "Numerology: Or What Pythagoras Wrought," the Pythagoreans became interested in number mysticism after discovering a particularly fascinating fact about numbers. If you add up a series of odd numbers beginning with the No. 1, the result is always a square number.

此外，毕达哥拉斯和他的追随者相信数字的神秘性质。据《数字命理学:或者毕达哥拉斯所做的事》一书的作者安德伍德·达德利说，毕达哥拉斯学派在发现了一个关于数字的特别迷人的事实后，对数字神秘主义产生了兴趣。如果你把从1开始的一系列奇数加起来，结果总是一个平方数。

Discoveries like this led the Pythagoreans to the conclusion that "all is number." According to one interpretation, this means that people can measure everything in the world and describe it in terms of numbers and proportions. This is a reasonable idea, and it has had a big influence on science and mathematics. But according to another interpretation, "all is number" means that everything in the world is made of numbers and can be reduced to a numerical value.

诸如此类的发现使毕达哥拉斯学派得出了“一切皆为数”的结论。根据一种解释，这意味着人们可以测量世界上的一切，并用数字和比例来描述它。这是一个合理的想法，它对科学和数学产生了很大的影响。但根据另一种解释，“一切都是数字”意味着世界上的一切都是由数字组成的，可以简化为一个数值。

Greek philosopher Pythagoras believed that everything in the universe could be explained by numbers. 希腊哲学家毕达哥拉斯认为宇宙中的一切都可以用数字来解释。

In their study of mathematical concepts, the Pythagoreans sorted numbers into categories. Numbers like one, four and nine are square because a corresponding number of dots or pebbles can be arranged in a perfect square. One, three, six and 10 are triangular — one, three, six or 10 dots can be arranged into regular triangles. Two, six and 12 are oblong, since the corresponding number of pebbles form rectangles.

毕达哥拉斯学派在研究数学概念时，把数字分类。像1、4和9这样的数字是正方形的，因为相应数量的圆点或鹅卵石可以排列成完全正方形。1、3、6和10是三角形的——1、3、6或10个点可以排列成规则的三角形。2、6和12是长方形的，因为相应数量的鹅卵石形成矩形。

Along with describing numbers in terms of math and geometry, the Pythagoreans also described them in terms of non-numerical traits. These traits had more to do with intuition and mysticism than science or mathematics.

毕达哥拉斯学派不仅用数学和几何来描述数字，还用非数字的特征来描述它们。这些特征更多地与直觉和神秘主义有关，而不是科学或数学。

For example, odd numbers are masculine and even numbers are feminine. The No. 1 is creative, since the addition of multiple ones can create any other number. Two represents duality and is female, while three is male. As the sum of two and three, five represents marriage, and since it falls exactly in the middle of the numbers one through nine, it also represents justice.

例如，奇数代表阳性，偶数代表阴性。数字1是有创意的，因为多个数字相加可以得到任何其他数字。二代表二元性，是女性，三代表男性。五是二加三的和，代表婚姻，因为它正好在数字1到9的中间，所以它也代表正义。

Ten is a sacred number, largely because it is the sum of the first four digits.

10是一个神圣的数字，很大程度上是因为它是前四位数字的和。

After the death of Pythagoras, interest in mathematical mysticism faded. It reappeared in the late 1800s when Mrs. L. Dow Balliett published several books on number vibration, music and colors. According to Balliett, each number has a specific vibration. People, foods, objects and colors also vibrate. In order to live a productive and harmonious life, people should make sure their environment vibrates in harmony with their own vibrations. This concept appears frequently in other new age practices, some of which describe it as an affect of the movement of subatomic particles. However, there has been little scientific study to identify or quantify such a vibration or to analyze its affect on human existence.

毕达哥拉斯死后，人们对数学神秘主义的兴趣逐渐消退。它在19世纪后期重新出现，当时L. Dow Balliett夫人出版了几本关于数字振动、音乐和颜色的书。根据Balliett的说法，每个数字都有特定的振动。人、食物、物体和颜色也会振动。为了过上富有成效和和谐的生活，人们应该确保他们的环境振动与他们自己的振动和谐一致。这个概念经常出现在其他新时代的实践中，其中一些将其描述为亚原子粒子运动的影响。然而，很少有科学研究来确定或量化这种振动或分析它对人类生存的影响。

Unlike the Pythagoreans, modern numerologists apply numbers to people in addition to applying intangible concepts to numbers. According to most numerologists, the numbers one to nine have unique properties that are the direct result of their inherent vibration. Some of these properties come from Pythagorean writings, and others come from how cultures around the world use and approach numbers.

与毕达哥拉斯学派不同，现代数字命理学家除了将无形的概念应用于数字之外，还将数字应用于人。根据大多数数字命理学家的说法，数字1到9具有独特的性质，这是它们固有振动的直接结果。其中一些属性来自毕达哥拉斯的著作，另一些则来自世界各地的文化如何使用和处理数字。

Some systems designate numbers with repeating digits as master numbers, which include all the attributes of two other numbers:

有些系统将重复数字的数字指定为主号码，其中包括其他两个数字的所有属性:

Numerology purports to tell the future, guide human behavior, predict the outcome of relationships and otherwise divine the unknowable by figuring out a person's numbers. For example, if the No. 9 has a particular vibration, a person whose number is nine has the same vibration. That person can choose what to eat, where to go and how to live based on which choices have a vibration that is compatible with nine.

数字命理学声称可以通过计算一个人的数字来预测未来、指导人类行为、预测人际关系的结果，以及占卜不可知的事物。例如，如果数字9有特定的振动，那么数字9的人也有相同的振动。这个人可以选择吃什么，去哪里，如何生活，基于哪些选择具有与九相兼容的振动。

Finding Your Life Path Number 找到你的人生道路号码

You can find your life path number using your name and some simple addition. 你可以用你的名字和一些简单的加法找到你的人生路径号。

The process of translating words to numbers is central to numerology. The practice has roots in Greek, Latin and Hebrew gematria, or the practice of turning words into numbers for the purpose of divination. People have used gematria to study and interpret the Torah, the Bible and other religious texts.

将文字转化为数字的过程是数字命理学的核心。这种做法源于希腊语、拉丁语和希伯来语的gematria，或者是为了占卜而把单词变成数字的做法。人们使用gematria来研究和解释Torah，圣经和其他宗教文本。

Most of the time, numerologists focus on people's names, using a simple chart to change names into numbers. Different numerology systems use different charts, but an easy one begins with "a" equaling one, "b" equaling two and so forth.

大多数时候，数字命理学家专注于人们的名字，用一个简单的图表把名字变成数字。不同的命理学系统使用不同的图表，但一个简单的图表是以“a”等于1，“b”等于2开始的，以此类推。

Numerologists typically use a person's birth name to find their number. Some argue that unborn babies select their names themselves and communicate them to their parents psychically, making sure their name will suit them and yield the correct number. According to numerologists, the name a person receives at birth is more significant than nicknames, names taken upon marriage or otherwise changed names.

数字命理学家通常使用一个人的出生名字来找到他们的数字。一些人认为，未出生的婴儿自己选择名字，并通过心灵与父母沟通，确保他们的名字适合他们，并产生正确的数字。命理学家认为，一个人出生时的名字比昵称、结婚时取的名字或其他改变的名字更重要。

To determine a person's birthday number, the numerologist picks the corresponding numbers from the chart and adds them together. If the result has two or more digits, the numerologist will add those digits together, repeating that step until arriving at a single digit.

为了确定一个人的生日数字，数字命理学家从图表中选取相应的数字并将它们加在一起。如果结果有两个或两个以上的数字，数字命理学家将把这些数字加在一起，重复这一步骤，直到得到一个数字。

For example, the total for the name "John" is 20 and "Smith" is 24 in our image above for a total of 44. Finally, add the two digits together for a total of 8. The only time you don't add the final two numbers is if the sum is 11, 22 or 33 because those are master numbers.

例如，在上图中，“John”这个名字的总数是20，“Smith”是24，总共是44。最后，把这两个数字加在一起，总共是8。最后两个数字不加的唯一情况是，当和是11 22或33时，因为它们是主数。

Many numerology systems also use a person's date of birth to arrive at another number known as the birth, life or destiny number. Let's say John's birthday is July 31, 1981. In numerology that is 7 + 31 + 1981 = 2019. Further add 2 + 1 + 9 = 12; and finally add 1 + 2 for a birthday number of 3.

许多命理学系统还使用一个人的出生日期来得出另一个数字，即出生、生命或命运数字。假设约翰的生日是1981年7月31日。在命理学中是7 + 31 + 1981 = 2019。2 + 1 + 9 = 12;最后加上1 + 2，生日数字是3。

The Pythagorean numerology chart shows which letters translate to which numbers. Maybe you're lucky enough to vibe with a master number! 毕达哥拉斯数字命理图显示了哪个字母转换成哪个数字。也许你足够幸运，能感应到一个主号码!

Some numerologists use charts or diagrams to examine the numbers and letters in relations to one another. These diagrams can resemble astrological charts and can add additional layers of meaning to the numerological reading. But regardless of whether a numerologist uses a simple or complex system to determine the results, the final analysis will often sound much like a horoscope.

一些数字命理学家使用图表或图表来检查数字和字母之间的关系。这些图表可以类似于占星术图表，并可以为数字命理学阅读添加额外的意义层。但是，不管数字命理学家使用的是简单系统还是复杂系统来确定结果，最终的分析听起来往往更像星座运势。

Numerologists will interpret the results and the connotations of each number to make recommendations or theorize about a person's future. Recommendations often include:

数字命理学家将解释结果和每个数字的含义，从而对一个人的未来提出建议或理论。建议通常包括:

Like astrology, numerology is a type of applied mysticism; it correlates a mystical symbol with a person's life. For this reason, some people have credited numerology numbers with helping them to make personal or financial decisions. However, there's no proof that the system works or that there is any real correlation between the numbers and their associated concepts.

像占星术一样，命理学是一种应用神秘主义;它把一个神秘的符号和一个人的生活联系起来。出于这个原因，一些人认为命理学数字可以帮助他们做出个人或财务决定。然而，没有证据表明该系统有效，也没有证据表明数字和相关概念之间存在任何真正的相关性。

The Number of the Beast 野兽的数字

The technique used to determine a person's number has also been used to associate people's names with the number of the beast or 666, which appeared in the Book of Revelation. Many people associate this number with the end of the world or the devil, although with enough tweaking it's possible to make virtually anyone's name total 666.

用来确定一个人的数字的技术也被用来将人的名字与出现在《启示录》中的野兽或666的数字联系起来。许多人把这个数字与世界末日或魔鬼联系在一起，尽管稍加调整，几乎任何人的名字都有可能是666。

Criticisms of Numerology 数字命理学批判

Some people notice numerical patterns in their daily lives, in historical records or in religious texts like the Bible. It often seems that the repetition is too frequent to be coincidental. In some cases, people have theorized that these repeating numbers have special significance or demonstrate the influence of a deity or supernatural force. Although not strictly part of numerology, this perception often assigns numerology-like attributes to the frequently appearing numbers. This has led to the 23 Enigma and other beliefs that specific numbers are at the center of a pattern or conspiracy.

有些人会在日常生活、历史记录或《圣经》等宗教文本中注意到数字模式。通常情况下，这种重复似乎太频繁了，不可能是巧合。在某些情况下，人们认为这些重复的数字具有特殊的意义，或者证明了神或超自然力量的影响。虽然不是严格意义上的数字命理学的一部分，但这种看法往往赋予频繁出现的数字命理学般的属性。这导致了23谜机和其他一些信念，即特定的数字是一个模式或阴谋的中心。

Critics, on the other hand, dismiss such occurrences as coincidence for a number of reasons: 另一方面，批评人士认为这些事件是巧合，原因有很多:

人们善于识别模式。虽然这有助于人们学习阅读、计数和识别面孔，但它也会鼓励人们将随机事件解释为模式。

由于世界上圆形、方形或其他独特数字的数量很少，这些数字的重复也是不可避免的。

These criticisms can also apply to the ancient system of numerology. For example, some practitioners say they see their birth path number everywhere, and that this confirms that numerology is real. However, according to critics, the frequent appearance is coincidental. In addition, critics point out that people are likely to remember seeing their birth date and forget seeing other numbers. In other words, a person whose birth path number is seven will remember seeing lots of sevens but will disregarding all the sixes, eights and other numbers.

这些批评也适用于古代的命理学体系。例如，一些从业者说，他们到处都能看到自己的出生轨迹数字，这证实了命理学是真实的。然而，据批评人士称，这种频繁的出现只是巧合。此外，批评人士指出，人们很可能只记得自己的出生日期，而忘记看到其他数字。换句话说，一个出生轨迹数字为7的人会记得看到过很多7，但会忽略所有的6、8和其他数字。

But the biggest criticism of numerology is that it's based on an invented system of counting. This system was developed to allow people to count objects in groups of 10, rather than a single number.

但对数字命理学最大的批评是，它是基于一种发明的计数系统。开发这个系统是为了让人们以10为一组来计数物体，而不是一个数字。

However, this system, known as a base-10 system, isn't the only system of counting. Indigenous tribes in Australian, New Guinea, Africa and South America developed number systems that counted in pairs. Some societies also used base-12 and base-60, which we still use to tell time.

然而，这个被称为10进制的系统并不是唯一的计数系统。澳大利亚、新几内亚、非洲和南美洲的土著部落开发了成对计数的数字系统。一些社会还使用12进制和60进制，我们现在还在用它们来计时。

In other words, numerology, like astrology, is based on an invented system that people developed to better organize the objects around them. While people often find such systems helpful on a spiritual or emotional level, there's no scientific evidence to prove that the system really works the way practitioners say it does.

换句话说，命理学和占星术一样，都是建立在一种发明的系统之上的，人们发明这种系统是为了更好地组织周围的物体。虽然人们经常发现这种系统在精神或情感层面上很有帮助，但没有科学证据证明这种系统真的像从业者所说的那样有效。

Numerology FAQ 数字命理学常见问题解答

How do you find your numerology number? 你如何找到你的命理数字?

Start with the numbers in your birthdate and add them up in a specific way. For instance, if you are born Feb. 14, 1990, in numerology that is 2 + 14 + 1990 = 2006. Further add 2 + 6 = 8, to get your life path number of 8. The only time you don't reduce the final number is if it is an 11, 22 or 33, which are master numbers. You can also use a similar technique with your full name to find your destiny number.

从你出生日期中的数字开始，用特定的方式把它们加起来。例如，如果你出生在1990年2月14日，在命理学上就是2 + 14 + 1990 = 2006。再加上2 + 6 = 8，你的人生道路数就是8。只有当最终数字为11、22或33时，才不进行减法，因为它们都是主数字。你也可以用类似的方法对你的全名进行查找。

What are the good numbers in numerology? 命理学里的吉利数字有哪些?

There isn't a best number. However, master numbers are said to be the most influential and strongest numbers. These include 11, 22 and 33. They represent exceptional spiritual power and knowledge – something other numbers don't contain.

没有一个最好的数字。然而，主数被认为是最有影响力和最强的数字。其中包括11、22和33。它们代表着非凡的精神力量和知识——这是其他数字所不包含的。

Which is the powerful number in numerology? 哪个是命理学中最有力的数字?

The number 22 is perhaps the most powerful number in numerology. It is one of the master numbers that is believed to transform dreams into reality, regardless of how impossible the dreams appear to be.

数字22也许是数字命理学中最强大的数字。它被认为是将梦想变为现实的主要数字之一，不管梦想看起来多么不可能。

What does 77 mean? 77是什么意思?

The number 77 is an angel number. It is an indication that time has come to collect rewards for your effort. If you see it a lot, then it is something that should make you happy. Bear in mind that angel numbers always represent a happy meaning.

数字77是天使的数字。这预示着你的努力该得到回报了。如果你经常看到它，那么它应该让你快乐。请记住，天使的数字总是代表着幸福的意义。
