The present period is witnessing a boom in numerology and a good number of numerologists are cropping up every day. Each of them differs vehemently from the other on the interpretation of numbers of destiny, challenges, pinnacles and other concepts. Several books have been written detailing the various concepts of numerology but all of them explain the same concepts in a slightly different way.

Whatever is the interpretation, one is forced to question the very logic of some of these principles and concepts as they are contradictory in nature. For example, think of the so called heart’s desire number which is obtained by adding up all the numerical values of vowels in a person’s birth name . It is said that the numerical values of the consonants in the same name, when added up, produce the personality number.

But, first of all, there is no limit to desires. They change every second of the minute, every minute of the hour, every hour of the day and every day of the week depending on the circumstances. It is a universally accepted fact that a person’s thoughts or desires reflect his / her mind which echoes heart.

When a thought has been abandoned or a desire killed, it no longer exists in the mind. And the heart no longer craves for it. It can also be interpreted that a thought or desire is postponed for a further date and temporarily it has been kicked out from the mind and heart. It may crop up or not in the person’s heart again. In this backdrop, what is the use of finding out a person’s heart desire number or minor heart desire number?

The major defect of the numerology, as studied or understood today, is that you can not understand the true nature of a person completely or correctly, let alone think of judging or predicting events correctly, even if you read the bundle of numbers such as the life path number, expression number, minor expression number, heart’s desire number, minor heart’s desire number, karmic number, numbers of pinnacles and challenges, hidden passion and personality. Frankly speaking, one is tired of reading the endless list of numbers in detail as it leads to confusion.

It has no particular system or method through which one can guide himself / herself or the members of the public about the impending good or bad periods. Also events like marriage, job, promotion, change of residence or job, short or long distance travel, marital relations, falling sick or regaining health can not be conclusively predicted through the present method of numerology.
