Numerology is one of the most comprehensive divination forms; it leans on knowledge of numbers and their vibrations. As a power, they relate to certain traits, events, and circumstances.
Learning about specific numbers that define your personality may help you in practical ways. It will lead to a greater awareness of both yourself and the forces high above.
How does Numerology Work?
Breaking down the laws of the universe into their most basic forms, we come to numbers. Every one of them holds specific energies, or vibrations, that affect us. You can think of Numerology as the universal language numbers hold to them. Learning to speak it, you will come to a deeper understanding of your own life.
There are no coincidences in the Universe. The idea of this science;is that the birth date and a name determine a person. That is why a numerological reading will require your full name and birth date.
The very calculation of your numbers is quite simple. What is complex are the interpretations and correlations of different results.

How to Calculate your Numbers?
The mathematics behind this science is straightforward. The essential operation is addition, whether of the digits from your birth date or values of letters from your name.
When it comes to names, there's a chart for you to consult to find values of different letters. Then you keep adding up until you reach a single digit value.
You may be suspicious because your results may match somebody else's. However, remember that numerological readings are general. It is your personality that determines your specific interpretation.
Several numbers work in unison to define how their energies affect you. A high-quality interpretation of their correlation will call for an expert numerologist.
An elementary reading will entail these four types:
LIFE PATH NUMBER
As its title shows, your life path number holds the most significant importance. It sheds light on the path you travel. Learning of it, you will better understand your traits, as well as challenges you may face.
Highlighting your essential qualities and talents, this knowledge will help you achieve your destiny.
You calculate it by adding up digits from your birth date. Follow a month - day- year sequence until you come to a single digit value.
EXPRESSION NUMBER
This value is sometimes also called a Destiny Number. It describes your abilities, personal goals, and desires. Emphasizing aptitudes hiding deep within you, it carries implications to your career.
You calculate it by summing together the values of all letters in your name. Include your middle name, if you have one. Your number doesn’t change if you get married or start going by a nickname. It highlights your abilities ever since the day you were born.
SOUL URGE NUMBER
Your Soul Urge or Heart Desire depicts your true self and the hidden parts of your personality. People may relate to that particular trait or expression only after a reading. The traits hiding in this number are deep within us, on the brink of the conscious.
It could reveal a deep desire you’ve been pushing down without knowing it. This sometimes makes people change their life path until it leads them to happiness.
You calculate this by summing up the numeric values of the vowels of your full name.

PERSONALITY NUMBER
The Personality Number is the antipode to your Soul Urge. It paints a picture of your personality as the world sees it.
Many of us live under a persona, which is more often than not subconscious. This number accentuates it, making you more aware of your personality and behavior.
The calculation is similar to the previous one, but instead of vowels, you add up the consonant values.
BIRTHDAY NUMBER
Last but not least, your Birthday Number is the most influential for your destiny. This value helps you realize how your personality is to be best used for you to be happy. Combined with the other numbers, this one gives more detail and personalizes the interpretations.
You calculate it based on the date you were born - only 1 to 31 added together to create a single digit.
