Inputs

Numerology typically works with numbers derived from a birth date or name. Astrology uses planetary positions and a birth chart, often requiring date, time and location for a full natal chart.

Interpretive style

Both are symbolic traditions rather than scientifically validated predictive systems. Numerology tends to be number-centered and arithmetically simple; astrology has a larger set of moving components and relationships.

Numerology is usually faster to calculate. Astrology can provide more layers, but complexity is not the same as scientific accuracy.
