What is numerology? Numerology is the study of how numbers — derived from your birth date and full name — reveal the patterns and purpose of your life. The system used at Jahben is Pythagorean numerology, based on the complete framework developed by David A. Phillips PhD. Your most important number is your Life Path Number — the core theme your soul is here to explore.

Every person is born with a numerical blueprint. The date you arrived carries a specific vibrational frequency — and Pythagorean numerology is the map for reading it. Your Life Path Number reveals your natural strengths, your deepest challenges, and the trajectory your life is most naturally inclined to follow. Your Personal Year Number shows you the timing. Your Soul Urge and Expression Numbers reveal the inner and outer layers of who you are.
