Numerology

Had enough of astrology? Another way to delve into the depths of your personality is through numerology, a very pseudo-science which has formulated simple rules for calculating your 'lucky' number. This number will then tell you all about your character. In one system, the number is calculated from the letters of your first name, with each letter corresponding to a number. These numbers are then summed to produce your lucky number. Use the system below and then see whatyour lucky number means. If your number exceeds nine, e.g. 10 or 18, simply add these digits together (10= 1+0 = 1, 18=1+8=9)

• Example: ADRIAN = 1+4+9+9+1+5 = 29 (2+9) = 1 1 (1+1) : 2
