One of the most thorough books in numerology I've read. It is definitely a prime reference book for those interested in learning the in's and out's of this technique. Volume 1 goes on about defining the different personality aspects of a person or individual, creating a chart, including many "scripts" that will be very helpful to those interested in reading to someone else or even create a business from it. On every lesson, content is added to these "scripts", ending with a major delineation and step-by-step guide to produce a satisfactory reading.
On volume 2, the author explores deeper in the technique, covering house numbers, telephone numbers, names of cities, etc.
This book will not only hep those interested in numerology, but also those trying to acquire "reading" skills to devote to this craft. There's a lot of help to the beginners, charts, reading "templates". But if your searching for something that helps you discover more about yourself, your identity, talents and challenges, few things and material out there could compete with this book and delineation technique.
The books are fairly complex, but not so much after you put some abstract thinking, introspection and reflection when going through the chapters.

Bạn nào là người Việt thích chủ đề này thì kết nối để chia sẻ nha.
Cuốn sách viết những mấy chục năm trước, nhưng cách viết cực kì hệ thống, người viết có hiểu biết cực kì sâu về số học.
Volume 1 là basic, volume 2 mới là phần nâng cao. Nhưng cuốn này không phải là dễ cho người mới bắt đầu. Mặc dù mình vẫn nghĩ nếu bạn bắt đầu với cuốn sách này, việc học của bạn sẽ dễ hơn rất nhiều.
Mình mua cuốn này cách đây 3 năm trước, giờ mới có dịp đem ra nghiên cứu. Thật may là hồi đó mình đã mua được một cuốn sách hay.

This is a serious, detailed manual on the Pythagorean system of numerology, and probably better suited to someone who genuinely wants to learn how to construct and interpret a numerology chart rather than someone looking for a casual introduction.
What I particularly liked is that it goes beyond simply giving meanings to numbers. It explains the Life Path, Expression, Soul Urge, Birthday, Master Numbers, Karmic Debts, Karmic Lessons, Challenges, Maturity, Growth and other modifiers, and then attempts to show how these different elements should be brought together in an actual personality reading. The book also provides reference charts and sample readings, which makes it feel much more like a working manual than a superficial numerology book.
But this is also where I found its biggest weakness.
For a subject as complex as numerology, I felt there should have been many more practical, varied examples showing exactly how the numbers interact in real charts. There is information, there is methodology, and there are examples—but at several points I wanted the author to slow down and demonstrate the process more simply instead of making the reader connect the dots independently.
The explanations could also have been simpler and more beginner-friendly. At times, you have to keep going back and forth between different sections and reference charts to understand how one part of the reading relates to another. That makes it feel more like a reference manual than a book you can simply sit down and read from beginning to end.
Interestingly, this seems to be a recurring reaction from readers: many praise the book for its depth and usefulness as a reference, while some specifically feel it is not particularly easy for a complete beginner.
Overall: A valuable and substantial book for anyone seriously studying the Pythagorean numerology system, particularly for learning chart construction and the synthesis of multiple numbers. But it could have been significantly better with more real-life case studies, clearer step-by-step demonstrations and simpler explanations.
Excellent reference material, but not as practical or beginner-friendly as it could have been.

La prima parte di un libro eccellente
Il primo di due volumi completi sulla numerologia (e infatti il secondo volume riprende il numero di pagina da dove era finito questo), che spiegano passo passo e dettagliatamente come costruire la carta numerologica di un individuo.
Si parte dai “numeri centrali” che – come spiega felicemente l’autore – danno il ritratto dell’individuo studiato in bianco e nero, per poi passare a tutta una serie di numeri “secondari” (le virgolette sono d’obbligo perché alcuni di questi numeri “secondari” hanno una considerevole rilevanza nel tratteggiamento del tutto) che trasformano il ritratto in bianco e nero in un dipinto a colori vero e proprio.
Per chi è amante delle percentuali, Goodwin fornisce anche l’importanza relativa dei vari numeri in percentuale, in modo da dare un peso ai vari componenti della carta numerologica.
Il secondo libro, poi, tratterà – in maniera altrettanto felice – tutta la parte temporale che riguarda l’individuo, che non può essere avulsa dall’individuo stesso perché è calibrata sui suoi specifici dati (data di nascita e nome anagrafico, più eventuali cambiamenti di nome assunti nel corso degli anni).

Regardless of your position on numerology itself, these two volumes together offer an intriguing and fun way to get kids to practice arithmetic!

One of the ologies that is over looked.
This is a biological based interpretation of numbers.
I run through it on my blog.

Numerology is the only mystical field of science I believe in. However lucky we are by numbers, life is still what we make of it.
