“What does my number say” and “what does my chart say” are two different questions tied to two different systems, and they’re often confused for one another.
What numerology is based on
Numerology relies purely on the date of birth and the letters in a name. There’s no astronomical calculation involved, it rests entirely on arithmetic, reductions like Mulank and Bhagyank, and Naam Ank.
What Vedic astrology is based on
Vedic astrology is based on the actual astronomical position of the planets, computed precisely, at the exact time, date and place of birth. It covers the Lagna, the nine planets, nakshatras and houses, all of it.
The two can be used together
Neither system replaces the other, together they can offer a broader picture. Many people prefer looking at both side by side.
