Frequently Asked Questions About Numerology

How is Yacatecuhtli linked to the number 5?
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 Yacatecuhtli holds 5 in the Aztec Gods table.
Is this a traditional Aztec Gods 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.
