Just what on earth is numerology?
An otherwise entirely rational person might confess to having a lucky number or two, but why do some people base important decisions on the right numbers?
Most of us see maths as a science, but to some, numbers have hidden meanings that can be used to make decisions in matters as serious as recruiting staff.
When Samantha Roddick, the daughter of Bodyshop founder Anita Roddick, launched her business, she crunched numbers with her bank manager, her accountant - and her numerologist.
The numerologist Samantha Roddick consulted is Sonia Ducie. She claims companies big and small contact her for help with product launches, rebranding and recruitment decisions.
"Somebody came to me last week for a new company name," Ducie says. "The product it was selling was something fun, so we had to look at the number three. It was also something very practical, so you've got the number four.
"And then we looked at the launch date, because you might have the best product but the timing is out," she says.
"So for example, take the date 26 May 2008. You look at the day number - two and a six is an eight - and eight is good for business. Then you add up the whole date, and get 41. Four plus one is five. Five is good for sales, PR and marketing."

FRANK CHING: China is all ready to step out into the world
AT precisely eight minutes past 8pm on Aug 8 -- the eighth day of the eighth month of the eighth year of the 21st century -- the Games of the XXIX Olympiad, this year's summer Olympics, will officially open in Beijing. It is widely seen as China's debut party after an eclipse of a couple of centuries. The Chinese Communist Party's choice of opening date is significant. The atheistic regime is pragmatically enlisting the help of numerology to ensure the Games' success. The number eight, to Chinese, signifies prosperity -- the country's goal since 1978, when Deng Xiaoping became China's leader.
Gone is the revolutionary ethos of Mao Zedong, China's leader from the establishment of the People's Republic in 1949 until his death in 1976. Mao called for constant class struggle.

Watch out for wild weather in 2008, Old Farmer’s Almanac suggests
Seven is considered lucky; 13 a jinx; and eight conjures up images of Carl Yastrzemski, Yogi Berra and Cal Ripkin.
And according to the latest edition of the Old Farmer's Almanac, the number 8 could portend turbulent weather for New England in the year ahead.
The Great Blizzard of 1888 killed more than 400 people from Maryland to Maine, and dropped 50 inches of snow on parts of Connecticut. Another blizzard in 1978 dumped more than two feet of snow and prompted the governor to close the state for three days. In between was the Hurricane of 1938 that killed nearly 700 in Connecticut, New York and Massachusetts.
"Here we're always looking at weather," Old Farmer's Almanac editor Janice Stillman said. "Part of that technique is looking at cycles. In every issue we include a weather feature story.
