I never really found numerology to be as authentic as palmistry and astrology mainly because the astrological roots were never written about. However, I have a good friend Marcus who is really into numbers and our Mercury in Fire signs trine each other and we both have a Mercury Pluto trine (conscious awareness of divine truths), and we enjoy each others enthusiastic nature.
I know Marcus and his chart well enough to realize that he feels the underlying truth but we needed to find some astrological reasoning. I asked him to describe the normal interpretation of the numbers so I could figure out if there was some astro-reasoning behind it. I have my own way of looking at numerology and personally find relevance only with numbers 7, 8 and 9 and maybe 5 for some Leo qualities.
It took me about half an hour to find some amazing correlation (everything is amazing with Fire signs!) and I am publishing the astro-numerlogy connection here.
This is the first time anyone has correlated planets with numbers, and I particularly like the conection between "master numbers" 11 and 22 with Uranus (Aquarius) and Neptune (Pisces).
Uranus, Neptune and Pluto were
not known to the ancients but they described the qualities of the
numbers associated with these planets acccurately enough that I was
able to put the two together. So if there is anything to numerology,
the astrological principles behind the numbers would help undersatand
it better.

leaders, and political leaders. Enthusiasm and drive to accomplish.
