Question
I've been researching the meanings of numbers and numerology and can't seem to find any two constant meanings for any of the numbers. I was wondering whether you could tell me or where I could look to find reliable information about numerology and the meanings of numbers?

Answer
Hi Katy,

Yes, there is sometimes too much contrast between authors' interpretations. At the same time, you won't find one source with all the information you seek. Yes, you could start with the best-selling modern numerology classics (just search on amazon.com for best-selling--Amazon is a reliable source), but that will only introduce you to the vast symbolism behind each number.

It's best to look at as many sources as you can since you'll learn something new from every one (well, almost).

A good place to start is with the root numbers. Below is a listing I've compiled and find it very reliable.

Sincerely,
Scott Petullo
