Usage Note
Numerolohiya is the Filipino adaptation of 'numerology', the study of the supposed mystical significance of numbers in relation to human life. It is found in informal media, fortune-telling contexts, and online discussions. Filipino culture has a strong tradition of interest in luck and auspicious signs, so numerolohiya intersects with folk beliefs even if not part of mainstream religion.
