Pythagorean numerology, also known as Western or Modern numerology, was developed by the Greek philosopher and mathematician Pythagoras in the 6th century BCE. This system is one of the most popular and widely used methods today due to its simplicity and accessibility. In Pythagorean numerology, letters are assigned numerical values from 1 to 9 in a sequence A=1, B=2, C=3, and so on—making it easy for beginners to learn. Unlike the Chaldean system, which includes compound numbers, the Pythagorean method focuses only on single-digit numbers. This form of numerology is used to analyze names and birth dates to gain insight into a person’s character, life path, and compatibility with others. Pythagorean numerology helps individuals understand their strengths, weaknesses, and purpose, offering guidance for personal growth and better relationships through the power of numbers.
