Numerology is the study of numbers, and the occult manner in which they reflect certain aptitudes and character tendencies, as an integral part of the cosmic plan. Each letter has a numeric value that provides a related cosmic vibration. The sum of the numbers in your birth date and the sum of value derived from the letters in the name provide an interrelation of vibrations. These numbers show a great deal about character, purpose in life, what motivates, and where talents may lie. Experts in numerology use the numbers to determine the best time for major moves and activities in life.

Excerpt from http://www.astrology-numerology.com/numerology.html

The basis of numerology is to add the numbers up and simplify to a single digit. For example, the year 2008 adds up to 10 and then you get a 1 by simplifying it further. If the numbers are similar digits, do not add up as they are master numbers.

2008 = 2 + 0 + 0 + 8 = 1 + 0 = 1

The year 2008 has a numerology of 1 which means new beginnings.
