In this article
we are going to introduce you to the four core Numerology
readings. These include the divination of the Life Path Number,
The Expression Number, The Soul Urge Number and the Destiny
Number.
Whether you are punching your
birthday and full name into a computer program or asking a
numerologist to do your calculations in person, almost every
numerology report contains these four elements:
* The Life Path Number that
is based on your BIRTHDATE
* The Expression Number (sometimes
referred to as the
Personality Number, Potential Number and Destiny number)
that is based on ALL THE LETTERS OF YOUR FULL NAME
GIVEN AT BIRTH.
* The Soul Urge Number (sometimes
also called the Soul,
Soul Path or Heart's Desire number) that is based on
a reduction of the VOWELS in your full birth name.
* The Destiny Number (sometimes
also described as the
Inner Dreams, Inner You or Karmic Number) that is based
on a reduction of the CONSONANTS in your full birth name.
Numerology Readings
First of all lets look at the divination of the LIFE PATH
NUMBER. The Life Path Number is calculated from assigning
a numeric value (which don't worry! we will provide for you
next week) to your birthday (which must be written out in
long form as in 05/25/1959 as opposed to 05/25/59.)
The Life Path Number is perhaps
the most commonly requested reading of all of the numerology
readings as it is the easiest and fastest to do. It describes
your journey through life and what you can best hope to accomplish.
However simply looking just
at your Life path number does not constitute what I would
call a full reading. Even a reading that consists of just
the four core elements is not a complete analysis as it only
describes the most likely projected path when you are born.
It does not take into account special challenges or potential
moments in time when you can use your free will in order to
change what would otherwise be your fate.
The Life Path Number is the
sum of your entire birthday including the year. This number
represents whom you were when you came into this world and
the extent of your potential and limitations physically, psychological,
spiritually and emotionally.
For instance a number Three
may be born into this world with enormous talents and charisma
but according to traditional numerology may not be able to
sustain a relationship one on one for long because they are
so busy following the calling of a successful career.
However, a number three who
also has a Soul Urge Number of two (which is about finding
true love) could meet a soul mate because they learn to transcend
their personal fears and flaws. This is why it is important
to look at all four of the CORE calculations before you assess
a person's numerology chart.
The next core number you will
be learning how to calculate in this course is THE EXPRESSION
NUMBER. This number is derived from all of the numbers in
your full birth name.
Not your married or pen name. It must be the name you were
born with including all of your middle names.
The Expression Number is the
number that describes all of the talents and personal potential
that you will have at your disposal during this lifetime.
This is the number that describes the ideal version of you
that can develop if you make the right choices in life.
Some people are often quite
daunted when they first calculate their Expression number
as usually the interpretation describes ideals that may seem
possible to attain. Either that or they feel disappointed
in themselves because the interpretation somehow "rings
a bell" and they realize that they have achieved their
potential so far in this lifetime.
One of the values of performing
the Expression Number calculation is that it can be a wake
up call that shows you just how far you have strayed from
your heart's desires. In essence, it can help you remember
what it was you always wanted to be when you were a little
girl or boy. For instance, a stockbroker, with a Life Path
number of materialistic eight might have an Expression number
of nine, which means despite accumulated wealth his or her
real desire might be to adopt children or be a philanthropist.
Without the fulfillment of
the ideals of their Expression number in their lives people
often feel empty or depressed no matter how successful they
are. Although you may find it difficult
to live up to the expectations of your Expression number,
the reading is almost always a call to action that asks you
to live in the here and now and fulfill your original ambitions.
The SOUL URGE NUMBER is calculated
from the VOWELS in your full birth name. The unique interpretation
that results from this number can almost be described as the
ethical measure of who you really are on this earth. It defines
what or whom you value most and describes "what makes
you bloom and what makes you wilt."
The Soul Urge Number is a
very spiritual reading and the value of it's calculation is
that the resulting interpretation often points you in the
direction of where you can find real fulfillment in life.
By this I mean the "food for your soul" that can
help you thrive, rather than just survive from day to day.
The Soul Urge number is often
revelatory because it also describes your inner desires as
opposed to the limitations of your birth as imposed by the
Life Path Number or your higher calling as described by the
Expression Number.
For instance, a person with
a spiritually oriented number
9 Life Path Number could feel rather lonely if they have devoted
their life to chastity and the church if their Soul Urge Number
is actually a number two which is about finding a soul mate.
As you can see, as we go on
describing the function of the four core numbers that the
readings can be as contradictory and complex as our personalities.
The fourth core number, the
KARMIC NUMBER is arrived at through the reduction of the consonants
in your name. This is the number that describes your secret
fears, hopes and fantasies. It also represents the mysteries
of the unknown. Some numerologists ascribe this number as
possessing the traits of a person that you were in another
life. At any rate, it describes the individual that you are
on a subconscious level.
The Karmic number also possesses
the odd quality of describing how others might see you as
a first impression. It is considered to be a description of
your astral imprint and what effect it has on other people
and situations.
For instance, a nurturing
Life Path number six might strike others as a busybody or
interfering character if his or her Karmic number is number
one which is a number about vainglorious achievement. The
Life Path number six might be truly oblivious to other's perception
that he or she is taking others to seem "holier than
thou" thanks to the distortion provided by the Karmic
Number Three.
If anything, the Karmic Number
can explain why sometimes you feel like you are "damned
if you do and damned if you don't" and why sometimes
you may have strange dreams or feel compelled by strange or
irrational urges that even to yourself seem "out of character."
