REDUCED NUMBERS
All numbers can be reduced to
the first 9 single-digit numbers.
Ex : 127 = 1 + 2 + 7 = 10
et 10 = 1 + 0 = 1
The number 127’s reduction 
is the number 1.

FIGURATE NUMBERS
Numbers can be represented
in space as a function of
the number of units they contains.
Ex : number 3 contains 3 units.
It can be drawn from three points
or a triangle.

IDEA-NUMBERS
Pythagoras, who coined the term "cosmos", defined the Three Worlds as:
• World of Archetypes (which later became the Theory of Ideas with Plato);
• Microcosm, or small world, Man;
• Macrocosm, the large world, the Universe.

The ancient numerology of Pythagoras

The number, the symbole and the idea
Geonumerology is an interdisciplinary approach which aims to restore the ancient
numerology of Pythagoras to its former glory. It is therefore at the heart of the teaching of
this philosopher's teaching that Geonumerology finds its source.
Arithmetic and geometry were, along with astrology and music, the four sciences that were
taught at the time within the framework of the Quadrivium.
Pythagoras is certainly the first great philosopher of the Western tradition. It was he who
invented the word philosophy. Everyone knows Pythagoras for his multiplication tables or
his theorem. But what is less known is that his mathematics actually leads to a metaphysics,
being convinced that numbers are the principle and the key to the entire universe.
His main idea is to have considered the universe as an ordered whole, a "Cosmos", where the
numbers serve as a support for a vibratory reality. We can therefore legitimately consider
Pythagoras as the father of current physics.
As Man, or microcosm, is the image of the universe, the macrocosm, the laws that apply to
one also apply to the other.
The initiatory process which characterizes his teaching is related to the realisation of the
Self in psychology as well as to the quest for the philosopher's stone of the alchemists.
These three paths invite us to direct our gaze inward, in a process of introspection to the
discovery of our soul.

The principle of reduction

The theosophical reduction (from the Greek: theos, divine or Gods and sophia, wisdom)
corresponds to the current 9-numbers of numerology. It consists in reducing all numbers to
the first 9.
The principle of correspondence
« The theosophical reduction was an operation familiar to Pythagoreans who neglected numbers
greater than 10, so they reduced numbers greater than 10 to the first nine numbers, taking into
account only their root or pythmen, i.e., substituting the remainder of their division by nine, or the
number nine even when the number was a multiple of nine. »
Arthuro Reghini ~ Sacred Numbers in the Pythagorean Masonic Tradition
In the time of Pythagoras (6th century B.C.), the letters of the Greek alphabet were used to
designate numbers: Alpha for One, Beta for Two, Gamma for Three, Delta for 4, and so on.
Numerology derives from this principle and applies a numerical value to each letter of your
name which making it possible to calculate the number for any name or word by adding
together the values of its letters.
The Matrix Layout
This is the layout adopted in geonumerology and derived directly from the tables created by
Pythagoras.
The interest of such an arrangement is to allow a cartesian approach (abscissa and

ordinate) of the first 9 numbers, where each one has a place assigned to it in relation to the
whole.
Representative numbers
The numbers 1, 5 and 9 keep their place in the matrix whatever the arrangement, in rows or
columns. They are representative numbers.
Figurate numbers
From number to shapes
The Tetractys from Pythagoras
Pythagorean geometry
Figurate numbers allow us to create a bridge between arithmetic and geometry. They derive
from the use of small pebbles represent the units that make up numbers with symmetrical
geometric shapes.
Pythagoras was the first to make the connection between numbers, geometric shapes and
spatial dimensions. Below is a visualisation of the number 10, the fourth triangular number
and central symbol of the Pythagorean school, named the Tetractys.
« They saw numbers as a stream, a flow of units or monads, reflecting the infinite multiplication of one
and the same divine Unit. These units, represented by points or groups of points, were translated in the
forms of the sensible world by geometrical figures, in two or three dimensions. »
Matila Ghyka ~ The Golden Number

Tetrahedron, symbol of number 4

Given the total parallelism between arithmetic and geometry, it is thus possible to visualize
the number in space using points, or pebbles (calculi in Latin), according to the number of
units it contains:
1 point for the number 1;

2 points for the number 2, the line (1D);

3 points for the number 3, the triangle (2D);
4 points for the number 4, the tetrahedron (3D).
A figured number is an integer that is usually represented by points and which forms a
regular geometric figure.
Geonumerology is therefore a mixture of numerology and geometry. Geometry will allow us

to figure the number, to give it body in space, to grasp its lines of force and finally to discover
the idea hidden behind the symbol.
Theosophical addition & triangular numbers
To know the Theosophical addition of a number, it is enough to add up arithmetically all the
numbers from the unit to it.
Thus the number 4 gives in theosophical addition: 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 10.
This operation corresponds in all respects to the way Triangular numbers (1, 3, 6, 10, ...) are
elaborated.
1=1
2=1+2=3
3=1+2+3=6
4 = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 10
5 = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 15
6 = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 = 21
7 = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 = 28
8 = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 = 36
9 = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 = 45
The first 9 triangular numbers

The Number represents the Idea. He is the Father. Geometry is the Mother of Creation, it
generates the forms. Each Number inhabits the form that is "destined" for it. Thus the
metaphysical abstraction of the Number materializes in geometry, it takes shape.
« Each number responds to a characteristic idea and hieroglyph, so that the laws of number
combinations verify the combination of symbols and ideas. (...) This law is one of the best keys to open
the ancient mysteries. »
Édouard Schuré ~ The Great Initiates
The Three Worlds

Archetypes, Microcosm and Macrocosm
1=1
3=3
6=6
10 = 1 + 0 = 1
15 = 1 + 5 = 6

Secret value of numbers

All integers are associated with one of the following 4 secret values: 1, 3, 6 or 9.
The secret value of a number is obtained by applying the process of theosophical addition to
it followed by reduction.
Let's take an example: the number 7
The theosophical addition of the number 7 gives: 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 = 28

The theosophical reduction of the number 28 is : 2 + 8 = 10 = 1 + 0 = 1
The secret value of 7 is therefore at 1
Worlds and reflections

If the numbers 4 and 7 are the refections of the Divine World in the Human World and in the
Natural World, then there must be a human reflection in the Divine and Natural Worlds as
well as a natural reflection in God and Man .
The law of analogy

The keystone of the esoteric teaching of Pythagoras rests on the idea of the
interdependence of all the elements of the cosmos by a link, a primordial energy, associated
by some with divine love, by others with the law of attraction, in a word with the force that
unites, or better, keeps together all parts of the universe.
The law of one

By applying the secret value to the first nine numbers, we see that the total of each line (see
on the right), or World, gives the Unit.
The unit reappears every three numbers in the Three Worlds according to a ternary law
The unit and its reflexions in the two other Worlds constitute the Divine Axis of Divine
Attributes (first column of the secret matrix composed only of 1) and correspond in the
archetypal matrix to the numbers 1, 4 and 7.
« These three progressions represent

the Three Worlds
in which everything is enclosed. »

Topics covered
Numbers are at the heart of the esoteric teaching of Pythagoras. They represent the
archetypal principles on which all things are based.
The qualitative or esoteric study of numbers was the basis of the philosophical teaching of
Pythagoras.
The knowledge of oneself led to the knowledge of the universe and the Gods.
The sacred symbols used to transmit the teaching acted on the deep psychology of the
individual.
