Frequently Asked Questions About Numerology
- How is Wenchang linked to the number 3?
- Through the psychic number of Vedic numerology: the day of the month you were born, reduced to one digit. Each pantheon on this site assigns one god to each number from 1 to 9, and Wenchang holds 3 in the Chinese Deities table.
- Is this a traditional Chinese Deities belief?
- No. The gods and their domains are traditional; pairing them with birth numbers is a modern numerological reading, and it is presented here as reflection rather than doctrine.
- What if my life path is different from my birth day number?
- They are two different numbers. This page follows the day of the month; the life path uses your whole date of birth and has its own pages under Numbers.
