Name Numerology: What Your Name Reveals
Name numerology assigns each letter of your name a value from 1 to 9 and reduces the totals to reveal your Expression, Soul Urge and Personality numbers. You can use the explanation to compare methods, understand each reduction step and decide which parts of Name Numerology: What Your Name Reveals are useful for entertainment.
How name numerology works
In the Pythagorean system each letter A–Z carries a number from 1 to 9 (A=1, B=2 … I=9, then J=1 again, and so on). Adding the values of the letters in your full birth name, and reducing the totals, produces your name-based core numbers.
The three name numbers
- Expression (Destiny), all the letters: your natural talents and life direction.
- Soul Urge (Heart's Desire), the vowels: what you want most deeply.
- Personality, the consonants: how others first experience you.
Which name should you use?
Traditionally the full name on your birth certificate is used for the core reading, because it reflects the identity you were given at the start. A current or changed name can be read separately to show how you present now.
