Expression Number: Your Natural Talents and Destiny
Your expression number, also called the destiny number, reveals your natural talents and the abilities you are here to develop. It comes from every letter in your full birth name.
What the expression number means
If the soul urge is what you want and the life path is the road you walk, the expression number is the toolkit you were handed: your gifts, strengths and the natural way you operate in the world.
How to calculate your expression number
Assign every letter of your full birth name its numerology value, where A through I are 1 through 9, J starts the cycle again at 1, and so on through the alphabet. Add them all together and reduce to a single digit or master number.
What each expression number gives you
1 is the leader and innovator, 2 the diplomat, 3 the communicator, 4 the organizer, 5 the adaptable adventurer, 6 the nurturer and provider, 7 the analyst and seeker, 8 the executive, and 9 the compassionate idealist. The master numbers add a higher calling on top of the base digit.
Expression in love
Your expression number shows how you naturally show up in a relationship, the gifts you bring and the way you communicate care. It is the visible counterpart to the private soul urge.
What were you built to do?
Your name and birth date hold more than one number. Your Destiny Matrix maps the full picture in one place.
