What is Numerology?
Numerology is an ancient metaphysical science that studies the mystical relationship between numbers and life events. Dating back thousands of years to ancient civilizations including Babylon, Egypt, China, and Greece, numerology believes that numbers carry unique vibrations and energies that influence our lives.
The famous mathematician Pythagoras, often called the "father of numerology," believed that the universe could be expressed through numbers. He taught that numbers are the universal language offered by the deity to humans as confirmation of the truth.
Today, numerology is used to gain insights into personality traits, life purpose, relationships, and future possibilities by analyzing the numbers derived from your name and birth date.
Life Path Number
Your Life Path Number is the most important number in your numerology chart. It reveals your life's purpose, the path you're destined to walk, and the lessons you're here to learn.
How to Calculate Your Life Path Number
Add all digits of your birth date and reduce to a single digit (unless it's a Master Number 11, 22, or 33).
Example: Birth date: July 15, 1990
- Month: 7
- Day: 1 + 5 = 6
- Year: 1 + 9 + 9 + 0 = 19 → 1 + 9 = 10 → 1 + 0 = 1
- Total: 7 + 6 + 1 = 14 → 1 + 4 = 5
This person's Life Path Number is 5.
Expression Number (Destiny Number)
Your Expression Number, also known as your Destiny Number, reveals your natural talents, abilities, and the goals you're meant to achieve in this lifetime. It's calculated from your full birth name.
How to Calculate
Each letter corresponds to a number (A=1, B=2, C=3... I=9, J=1, K=2, etc.). Add all letters in your full birth name and reduce to a single digit.
Soul Urge Number (Heart's Desire)
Your Soul Urge Number reveals your innermost desires, motivations, and what truly makes you happy. It represents the "inner you" and your heart's deepest longings.
It's calculated using only the vowels (A, E, I, O, U) in your full birth name.
Personality Number
Your Personality Number represents how others perceive you - the "outer you" that you show to the world. It's like a mask or filter through which others see you.
It's calculated using only the consonants in your full birth name.
