Astrology and Numerology

According to qualified astrologers and numerologists, numerology is a branch of astrology, and both are interconnected if you look at the definition for each. 

Astrology is a system or set of beliefs. There is a relationship between the movement, the alignment and position of the celestial bodies, the planets and their stars, and the life events of an individual on earth.

Furthermore, this relationship between the stars and planets and human lives is what all of astrology is composed of. The study of the planets and the stars in relation to a person’s birth chart helps astrologers gain an insight into the life of a person and hence be able to make predictions and forecasts but unearth a person’s dispositions and character traits.

Numerology, on the other hand, is solely to do with numbers. Numerology is the numerical value of names, words and ideas and how the numeric vibrations come to bear significance and association with our human lives.
