Assign a number to each letter in your first, middle, and last name.

Write your full first, middle, and last name on a piece of paper, then assign the numbers from the table below to each letter.

Calculate destiny index

Your destiny number represents all of your past life accomplishments as well as the energy patterns you are working with. In short, this number represents what you need to do in this life. Destiny numbers are always calculated using the full name on your birth certificate.

1. Add all the letters of your full name together. The total will tell you something about your life purpose.
2. Add together all the letters of your middle name, if any. This number represents your potential.
3. Add up all the numbers for your surname at birth. This reveals some of the traits you inherit from your family.
4. Next, add all the numbers from each name to get your destiny number.
5. Now, use this number meaning chart and life purpose number explanation to determine the meaning of each value.

Note:

Whether you are working with just one name (like your first name) or three (or more) like a first name, middle name, last name, if the sum of the numbers for the letters is more than one digit, you will need to reduce that number. For example, if you sum your name to 12, you will need to add 1+2 together to get 3.

Take for example an English name: Stacey Ann Peterson.

• Stacey: 1+2+1+3+5+5=17 and 1+7=8; Stacey's life purpose number is 8, which represents success, achievement and material gain.
• Anne: 1+5+5+5=16; 1+6=7; Stacey's hidden ability number is 7, which represents discovering the truth.
• Peterson: 7+5+2+5+9+1+6+5=40 and 4+0=4; Stacey's inheritance number is 4, which means she has inherited stability and a solid foundation from her family.
  All three numbers added together: 8+7+4=19; 1+9=10; 1+0=1; Stacey's destiny number is 1, which represents being a leader and a pioneer.

Calculate soul index

To calculate this number, you will use your full name as it appears on your birth certificate. This number represents where your heart is or where you feel happiest. It all depends on what you are here for.

1. Assign a corresponding number to each vowel in your full name.
2. Add up the vowels in all the names (and only the vowels). Calculate each name separately and reduce it to a single number.
3. Add all the reduced numbers from the three names together and reduce to get the final number.

Important to know:

If the sum of the individual names or all three names together is 11, 22 or 33, they are not reduced. They are master numbers, kept as is and interpreted as such.

For example, using Stacey Ann Peterson again:

• Stacey contains three vowels (A=1, E=5, Y=5); 1+5+5=11; 11 is the cardinal number, so don't reduce it.
• Ann contains a vowel, A, which equals 1
• Peterson contains three vowels (E=5, E=5, O=6); 5+5+6=16; 1+6=7
• Add all three together: 11+1+7=19; 1+9=10; 1+0=1

In short, with the number 1, Stacey is happiest when in a leadership position or blazing new trails.

Calculate personality index

To calculate your personality number, use your full name as it appears on your birth certificate. Your personality number represents how you appear to the outside world.

1. Assign each consonant in all three names an appropriate number.
2. Add the consonants of each name separately and shorten.
3. Add all three numbers together and reduce.

For example, Stacey's personality number looks like this:

• Stacey has three consonants (S=1; T=2; C=3); 1+2+3=6
• Ann has 2 consonants (N=5; N=5); 5+5=10; 1+0=1
• Peterson has five consonants (P=7; T=2; R=9; S=1; N=5); 7+2+9+1+5=24; 2+4=6

In short, as a number 4, Stacy is seen as stable, steady, and calm.

Tips for calculating numerology by name to ensure accuracy

• Even if you have changed your name, use the name exactly as it appears on your birth certificate.
• If you have changed your name, you can use your current name following the same rules as above to learn more about where you are in your life now, but your birth name will always affect your numerology.
• Pay attention to mathematical details; getting just one letter wrong will change your entire chart.
• In arithmetic, you primarily work with single digits from 1 to 9. Any digit greater than 9 needs to be reduced, unless it is a prime or a two-digit number (44, 55, 66, 77, 88, 99). All other two-digit numbers are considered powers. Two-digit numbers do not get reduced.
• When it comes to which name to use for your name numerology chart, use both your birth certificate name and your current name. Your full birth name is the foundation of the chart, and any name changes reflect fundamental changes in your identity.
