The Destiny / Expression Number is one of the core numbers. Your birth name represents your personal history and shapes your future.
It is based on your birth name letters. The letters are converted to numbers and then added together.
These numbers can then be consequently reduced.
For example, the letter A would be 1 and the letter B would be 2 and so on and so forth. The numbers used start from 1 to 9 only. If you encountered a result like 11, 22, 33 do not reduce them because they are called Master Numbers.
Below is a chart that will show you all of the numbers as they are assigned to the 26 letters of the English alphabet:
Write out your full name that appears on your birth certificate and not your nick name or name your friends and family call you. Then match the corresponding numbers to each letter.
If you have several middle names you need to include them. If you have no middle names then just calculate your first and last name. Hyphenated or compound last name are considered one name. Titles are not included. For example:
One Name Not Included
John Jacob (Reece-Smith) (Junior (Jr))
Lets look at the name JANE DOE, she doesn’t have a middle name so only her first and last name is used.
J A N E D O E
1 + 1 + 5 + 5 = 12 4 + 6 + 5 = 15
1+2 = 3. 1+5 = 6
3 + 6 = 9 Destiny Number. So Jane has a destiny number or expression number 9.
You can use the same method to calculate your Current Name Number, Business Name Number an other name number like baby names.
