Numerology

Numerology is the ancient practice of finding meaning in numbers. By reducing your birth date and name to single digits, numerologists build a portrait of your personality, your strengths and the lessons you are here to learn.

Your life path number

Your life path number is the most important number in numerology. It is calculated from your full date of birth and describes the overall direction of your life.

Example: for a birthday of 14 July 1992, reduce each part to a single digit. Month: 7. Day: 1 + 4 = 5. Year: 1 + 9 + 9 + 2 = 21, then 2 + 1 = 3. Add them together: 7 + 5 + 3 = 15, and 1 + 5 = 6. This person has life path 6, the nurturer.

The core numbers

• Life Path — from your birth date; your purpose and the road you travel.
• Expression (Destiny) — from your full birth name; your natural talents.
• Soul Urge — from the vowels in your name; what your heart truly wants.
• Personality — from the consonants in your name; how others see you.
• Birthday — from the day you were born; a special gift you carry.

Master numbers 11, 22 and 33

When a calculation produces 11, 22 or 33, numerologists traditionally do not reduce it further. These master numbers carry intensified potential, and often intensified pressure. 11 is the intuitive messenger, 22 the master builder and 33 the compassionate teacher.
