What’s YOUR Number? Numerology for Beginners

What if the universe runs on more than just the laws of physics—what if there's a secret equation connecting all of us, buzzing beneath the surface of reality? That’s exactly the mind-bending mystery explored in a recent episode of "Things Visible and Invisible," featuring renowned numerologist Glennice Mccants. Known as "the Numbers Lady" and backed by over three decades of experience, Glennice believes that numbers are much more than mathematical symbols. According to her, they form the invisible threads weaving together our experiences, relationships, and destinies.

Beyond Math: The Ancient Pulse of Numerology

When most people hear the word "numerology," they probably recall dry algebra lessons or tiresome equations from school. But as Glennice explains, numerology isn’t math homework—it’s the ancient science of numbers as vibrations. Dating back more than 2,500 years to the Greek philosopher Pythagoras, numerology proposes that every person, object, and event has its own unique vibrational signature. And just like how certain people energize us while others drain our spirit, these vibrations subtly influence our lives every day.

Glennice describes walking into a room and instantly clicking with some individuals but finding others strangely exhausting. It’s not a mood swing or cosmic coincidence, she says—this is the effect of numerical vibration. Every person emits their own energetic frequency, thanks to the numbers in their name and birth date. To unravel a person’s "blueprint," Glennice looks at three numbers from their name and three from their birth date. "You can run, but you can’t hide," she jokes—the numbers always tell the truth.

The Meaning Behind Every Number

So, how do numbers hold so much power? Glennice follows the Pythagorean system, which assigns traits to each base number from one to nine. Think of it as a personality code:

1: Ambitious and driven

2: Seeks love and harmony

3: Communicates and entertains

4: Pursues knowledge and structure

And so on. By unlocking the numbers embedded in your life, Glennice explains, you get valuable insights—not just into your own nature but also how to interact with others, make better decisions, and find compatible friends or business partners. Numerology, she insists, is not about running away from conflict or instantly writing someone off. Rather, it’s a tool for understanding differences, improving communication, and building bridges, especially in a world filled with billions of personalities.

Numerology as a Personal Journey

Glennice’s fascination with numerology didn’t start in an academic setting, but with heartbreak. After a devastating breakup that left her grieving for two years, she consulted a numerologist who told her the real cause of her sadness wasn’t her former boyfriend—it was the strong compatibility she’d felt with his mother and sister. That insight was a lightning bolt, ending her pain and setting her on a new path. She threw herself into numerology, not by studying endless books, but by learning the basics and applying them in real-life readings. The experience was so transformative and accurate that she realized numbers had “found” her and would define her calling.

As a "three" in numerology—someone with a knack for comedy and communication—Glennice discovered she was both a class clown and a serious student. She tried her hand at stand-up comedy, thriving in the spotlight almost effortlessly. Later, her growing reputation as a numerologist exploded after an impromptu segment on LA talk radio, where her readings astonished callers and demonstrated that this science of numbers packs real, practical power.

Distinguishing Numerology From Myth and the Occult

Skeptics often lump numerology in with astrology, tarot, or even the occult. Glennice draws a clear distinction: numerology, to her, is a practical tool rooted in ancient wisdom, not superstition or mysticism. Raised Catholic and still happily faithful, she finds resonance between numerology and spiritual traditions. For example, key numbers like seven or forty reappear symbolically in sacred texts across religions. It’s never replaced her faith—it simply works alongside it, giving her and her clients a new language for interpreting life’s challenges and opportunities.

She’s also quick to warn against quick-fix claims or “charlatans” in the spiritual marketplace. Real numerology, she argues, takes years of study and heartfelt practice, not just flipping through a book or running online calculators. While her best-selling books are designed to demystify numerology and help people apply the basics to their own lives, becoming a genuine numerologist requires genuine dedication.

Numerology’s Everyday Benefits

Beyond abstract theory, numerology has tangible benefits. Glennice uses it not only to foster better relationships but also to shape major life decisions. She picked her own husband using numerology (they’re happily married for over 20 years) and helps clients choose auspicious dates for important events—be it weddings, surgeries, or business launches. Her website, NumbersLady.com, even features resources like daily energy calendars, numerology "buffets," and personalized readings.

But perhaps Glennice’s greatest message is this: numerology is about practical self-understanding, not fate or fortune-telling. We all have natural callings that our numbers can help uncover—whether dormant passions, hidden strengths, or even shadow sides we need to balance. By understanding our own numbers, we can make more conscious choices, feel more at ease in our skin, and relate better to those around us.

Takeaway: Embracing the Mystery, Living by the Numbers

Glennice Mccants invites us to see numbers in a new light: not just as abstract figures, but as keys to personal growth and deeper connections. In an age when technology rules and life often feels impersonal, numerology offers a chance to rediscover the "vibrational code" that quietly shapes our adventures, relationships, and everyday happiness.

Curious what numbers say about you? Glennice encourages everyone to learn the basics, try a reading, and open up to new ways of understanding yourself and those you love. And in that spirit: perhaps your number is up—and your best life is just waiting for you to recognize it.
