Discover your natural talents and life purpose through your Expression Number, calculated from your full birth name.
Overview
The Expression Number, also known as the Destiny Number, reveals your life's purpose and the talents you were born to develop. It is calculated from the full name given at birth and represents what you are meant to achieve in this lifetime.
This number shows your natural abilities, career inclinations, and the way you express yourself in the world. Unlike the Life Path Number which shows your journey, the Expression Number reveals your destination.
Understanding your Expression Number helps you align with your true calling and make choices that support your highest potential.
Calculating Your Expression Number
Use the full name exactly as it appears on your birth certificate. Each letter has a numerical value: A=1, B=2, C=3, and so on. Add all letters and reduce to a single digit (except 11, 22, 33).
For example, if your name is "John Smith":
J(1) + O(6) + H(8) + N(5) + S(1) + M(4) + I(9) + T(2) + H(8) = 44
4 + 4 = 8
Your Expression Number would be 8.
