Numerology is the study of the hidden meaning of numbers in your life. Just as astrology uses the stars, numerology uses numbers from your birth date and your name to reveal your path, talents, and heart’s desires.
In this lesson, you will:
- Learn about the three core numbers: Life Path, Destiny/Expression, and Soul Urge.
- Calculate your own numbers using free online tools.
- Reflect on how these numbers show up in your life story.
Topic 1: What Numerology Reveals
The 3 Core Numbers
- Life Path Number → Your overall purpose and direction in life.
- Destiny/Expression Number → Your natural talents and strengths.
- Soul Urge Number → Your inner longings and heart’s true desire.
Together, these three show you:
- Where you are going (Life Path)
- What you are good at (Expression)
- What you truly want deep down (Soul Urge)
How to Get Your Numbers
Life Path (from Birth Date)
- Write out your full birth date (e.g., June 21, 1995 → 6 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 9 + 9 + 5).
- Add all digits together: 6 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 9 + 9 + 5 = 33.
- If over 22, reduce to a single digit unless it’s a master number (11, 22, 33).
- Example: 33 → Life Path = 33/6.
Expression & Soul Urge (from Full Birth Name)
- Convert each letter to a number (A=1, B=2, … I=9, then repeat).
- Expression = add all letters in your full name.
- Soul Urge = add only the vowels.
