Predicting the future through numerology can often be challenging for several reasons:
- Use of inappropriate techniques for specific contexts: Some methods produce better results than others, while some may be generally unsuitable. Techniques that work well for certain types of events might not be effective for broader predictions or may not apply in other situations at all.
- Lack of well-documented techniques in available literature: Most books and online resources focus on universal and personal days, months and years, as well as pinnacles and letter transitions. The Chaldean tradition does offer additional approaches, but unfortunately, some methods that do not yield helpful results continue to be repeated in the literature.
- Limited access to certain traditions: The oldest known numerological forecasting technique dates back to the Hellenic Empire. It’s likely that various methods of predicting the future existed in the past but have since been forgotten or lost. During the Middle Ages, people often kept occult knowledge secret, which certainly hindered the spread of understanding in numerology.
- Difficulty in assessing the intensity of individual indicators: While descriptions of numbers sometimes reveal clear parallels to events, there is, for example, an important distinction between minor disputes and those that come before a court. This may be because numerology lacks a long-standing tradition of making predictions. Additionally, numerologists often do not share information or findings with one another in this field.
- Challenges in understanding the interplay between different numerological techniques for forecasting: This issue also arises from the absence of a strong tradition. Since many numerologists lack access to sufficient literature, it naturally complicates the search for effective predictive methodologies.
