The Expression Number
August 31, 2008
A number derived from all of the letters in your FULL BIRTH NAME make up what is called the Expression or Destiny number. Although this number is called both of these names, throughout this website it will be referred to as the Expression number. This is the number that describes the talents and attitudes at your disposal in this lifetime, if you choose to develop and use them. This is sometimes referred to as your potential or destiny. Living up to attributes of this number may not be easy, but it is your goal in the here and now. It is your life’s purpose, spiritual mission, and your field of opportunity. Unlike the Life Path number which reads as you are, the Expression number more correctly reads as you MUST.
To arrive at your Expression number, take each name separately and add up the letter values using the conversion chart below. Reduce each name to a single digit or master number. Then add the results of all of the names to arrive at a total which you then once again reduce to a single digit or master number.
Don’t use nicknames, assumed name, deviations in spelling used, or omit any part of the birth name. Use it as it appears on the birth certificate. Don’t worry about changes to the name (married name, etc.), just stay with complete birth name. Don’t count Jr. Sr., III, etc. following the name.
The only exception to this is in the case of adoption shortly after birth, and here the name given in the adopting home should be used.
