So you meet someone for the first time, and for whatever reason, you're intrigued. You want to
learn more, because on paper, this person seems amazing, and kind. But there's that nagging voice
in the back of your head. "What is this person really like?" Wouldn't it be nice to have some
insight to help your intuition along? One of the advantages of numerology is that within moments
of meeting someone, you can learn their name, and instantly gain many powerful insights about
who they are. According to numerology, a person's name contains within it powerful vibrations that
reveal all kinds of insights about their personal potential, inner motivations, and deepest talents.
Compare that to something like the Myers-Briggs personality test or any other personality test,
which is time consuming and practically impossible to do with someone you've just met.
And compare it to astrology, where you'd need to learn someone's birthday and their exact time of
birth to get an accurate reading. But someone's name is often the first thing we learn about them.
If you're skeptical, at this point, you might be wondering "what's really in a name?"
Aren't names just meaningless labels? But according to an article by Jenna Goudreau, there's
growing evidence that your name can have an unexpectedly big impact on your lifetime success,
from your hire-ability to your spending habits. A New York University study found that people with
easier to pronounce names often have higher status positions at work. Psychologist Adam Alter says
that when we can process a piece of information more easily, when it's simpler to understand,
we tend to like it more. The power of your name is something that's long been understood
in numerology, which goes even further, and finds that our names contain unique vibrations. And if
we delve deeper into the letters of your name, it takes us into the realm of soul and intuition,
and brings us to the subconscious energies that exist within it. So how can we use numerology
to unlock these insights? To figure that out, we have to look at what's called the "Expression
Number," which is also sometimes called the "Destiny Number." In Pythagorean numerology,
the expression number is the second most important element in your numerology chart. In
terms of importance, it's behind only the Life Path Number which we explored in this video.
The expression number reveals your natural talents abilities and the areas of your life
that must be developed in order for you to reach your fullest potential. Your expression number
is derived from your full name on your birth certificate and here's how to calculate it.
First you convert each letter of your birth name into a corresponding number using the Pythagorean
table which looks like this. Let's work through an example. Let's say we want to calculate the
expression number for Paul McCartney. We start out by writing his full legal name, which is
James Paul McCartney. And using the Pythagorean numerology table we work out the number for each
letter in the name. In other words, we match each letter in the name to a number value in the
Pythagorean table. And when we do that, we get a list of numbers that looks like this. Then we add
each of the digits together and when we do that we get the number 65. Anytime we have a number that's
more than one digit we add each of the digits together until there's only one digit left.
We call this process "reducing the numbers." The only exception is if we get the numbers 11, 22, or
33. We don't reduce these numbers, they're master numbers, which have their own specific meanings.
In this case we reduce the number 65 by adding its digits 6 and 5 together, and when we do that,
we get the number 11, which we don't reduce any further, because it's a master number.
And so Paul McCartney has an 11 expression number. But let's say you only know someone's first name
or you only know their last name even if you don't know their full name. Numerology can
reveal powerful insights from these names as well. Let's go back to our example with Paul
McCartney. We can separate the vibrations of the name into a first name, middle name, and last name
using the same chart. We find that the letters in his first name "James" has these number values,
and when we add and reduce those numbers we get the number three. In numerology the first name
reveals insights into your spiritual aspirations and goals in your lifetime. In this case the
first name James reveals a three vibration. We also find that the letters in the middle name
"Paul" has these number values, and when we add and reduce these numbers we get the number five.
According to numerology, the middle name reveals extra resources and qualities that you can rely
on in times of crisis and spiritual growth. In this case the name "Paul" has a five vibration.
Lastly we find that the last name "McCartney" gives us these number values, and when we add
and reduce these numbers we get the number three. According to numerology the last name
tells us powerful karmic lessons and important issues that arise in our family histories
and our family relationships. In this case the name McCartney has a three vibration.
What this shows is that even if you only have part of someone's full name you can still learn quite a
lot about that person. But when you combine all the letter energies from your full birth name
it reveals the total vibration from birth to death, capturing the life lessons, qualities,
and hidden potential that's contained within your name. And for Paul McCartney,
when you combine the first middle and last name that's the 11 Expression number. Now that you know
how to calculate your expression number, let's look at what each of the expression numbers mean.
You're independent and self-reliant. You're a natural and effective leader.
You're driven to explore and continually push yourself forward. More than most people,
you have the ability to concentrate and visualize your goals which makes them more attainable. You
also have strong convictions. You stand up for what you believe in and you aren't afraid
to stand your ground and defend these beliefs. You protect the people you love and care about.
But sometimes you so powerfully identify with your goals that you can miss seeing potential
drawbacks and disadvantages in your plans until it's too late. You would do well to maintain a
certain level of flexibility and patience so you aren't rushing things ahead before they're ready.
You have a highly developed sense of intuition your empathic which gives you a talent for
understanding people and persuading them. It also gives you a kind of radar that helps you avoid
many landmines in social situations, while at the same time also bringing out people's goodwill.
You're a natural and effective diplomat. Because of this, you often do better in
a collaborative role rather than a leadership one (although you can also lead when you need
to). However you can also find yourself thrown out of balance by an unkind word, an argument,
or a conflict. You might find yourself in a situation where you get 100 compliments
and one criticism but your mind will fixate on that one negative criticism. As a result
you can become more upset by these things compared to people without your sensitivity.
You do best when you're able to tune out these distractions and focus on what's really important.
You have a powerful imagination and an expansive personality which allows you to excel in creative
areas, whether it's writing, music, design or visual arts. You bring a cheerful and positive
energy to the people in your life. It's infectious. You have the ability to express
yourself authentically and to speak your truth, and this gives you the capacity to inspire hope
and wonder in the people around you. At the same time you can spread yourself a little too thin
trying to do too many things at once. This can drain your energy and keep you from fully taking
advantage of your creative talents. Concentration and focus are the keys to your success.
You are the bedrock of your home and social circle. You're a natural organizer and manager
which makes you the effective foundation of your home. You're methodical and you do best when you
take a systematic approach to the challenges in your life, and when you can see a project through
from start to finish. You have an intuitive grasp of structure which gives you the capacity to turn
your dreams into a reality. You're the most practical of all the expression numbers and
when you have the right people around you, you can do things that have tremendous real world impact.
At the same time, you can sometimes become too narrowly focused on the details.
It can make you overly cautious and close you off from other ideas you have to guard against the
tendency to become a workaholic and to remind yourself to slow down and enjoy the journey.
You are a natural explorer and a free spirit. You have a spontaneous energy that draws you to travel
and adventure. While many people are afraid of change you actually thrive in times of uncertainty
you have a gift for improvising and adapting to the moment which makes you uncommonly flexible.
You're drawn to progress and new ideas. You're also an excellent communicator which gives you a
rare charisma and magnetism. Of all the expression numbers you are the most worldly, but you also
find yourself growing bored quickly. Before you finish one thing you're already thinking about the
next challenge long before your work is finished. You often do best when you're coming up with the
vision and the ideas of a project and when you can leave the minute details to someone else.
You are a natural counsellor and healer. You're uncommonly perceptive to the things
happening around you and you're sensitive to people's needs. You tend to put the needs of
other people before your own, sometimes to a fault. You have a strong need for family
and to form strong bonds with those around you. You also have the ability to find beauty
in most things even in unlikely places. This gives you the heart and the soul of an artist.
You seek to create harmony and beauty in your own life, and in your own home. However, duty will
follow you all your life and everywhere you go. Sometimes it can feel like too much of a burden.
You can also be overly protective of the people you love. You tend to do best when
you can periodically find ways to recharge relax and to take care of your own needs first.
You are a natural mentor you have an analytical mind in a natural curiosity for the answers to
life's hidden questions you're also very observant. This can drive you to explore
these questions through science, philosophy, and spirituality. You look for clarity and truth.
This gives you the rare ability to reflect and to look inward and to find creative solutions to the
challenges in your life. You have a powerful sense of self-awareness and insight. But it can also
make you overly critical of yourself. You're much harder on yourself than the people around you.
Another challenge you have is that too much social interaction can drain you. You need a
certain amount of privacy and a place where you can escape from the hustle and bustle of life.
Out of all the expression numbers you are the practical realist.
You have within you the potential to achieve great things,
even more than you realize. Whatever challenge you choose to pursue, you strive to be the best
and most successful in your field. You have an intuitive understanding of the bigger picture.
This gives you the ability to see the broader challenges ahead and to apply your intelligence
to anticipate many problems before they happen. At the same time you can find yourself questioning
your own abilities and wondering if you've really made the right choices. Life will test you many
times with obstacles that seem insurmountable, but these are just opportunities for you to learn how
to use your talents and to find out just how much practical power and determination lies within you.
You are compassionate and idealistic. You're attuned to people's emotions which makes you
sensitive to the suffering of others. Because of this you're bothered by the injustice and
unfairness that you find in the world, and you're drawn to causes that make a positive impact in the
universe. And especially in situations where you give support to those who can't defend themselves.
There's a sincere and genuine energy in the way that you deal with people but on the other hand
you often neglect to express what you really feel with the people you love. Your challenge
is to learn to let people in and to find the strength to be vulnerable when the need arises.
11 is a master expression number. Master numbers are rare and special vibrations in numerology. You
attract powerful insights, ideas, and intuitions that seem to come unexpectedly out of nowhere.
You have tremendous sensitivity which fuels your creativity and imagination. But it's
also caused you pain and put you in some tough situations in the past.
Sometimes you have unrealistic expectations and you hold yourself to impossible standards,
but whether you like it or not, you are a conduit for higher vibrations. You have
tremendous integrity and you're uncompromising in the pursuit of truth. But it also means that
you're sometimes unwilling to play politics to get ahead. In some ways this can limit your progress,
but it also makes you very trustworthy and people can sense your authenticity. Your challenge
is to learn to harness and control your unique talents instead of trying to run away from them.
22 is a master expression number which is a rare and special vibration in numerology. It's often
called the "master builder." You have a unique gift for building and manifesting the visions
you have in your mind. Even as a child you've always had a sense of wanting to leave a lasting
and positive structure in the world. But these same feelings can paralyze you with self-doubt.
It can be tempting for you to settle for something less than this. To tell yourself that your dreams
are unrealistic and not worth pursuing. But this only leads to frustration and you can only do this
for so long, because on some level you feel called to greater things. Your challenge is
to find the courage to trust in your own talents and to believe in the beauty of your own dreams.
33 is a master expression number which is a very rare and special vibration in numerology.
It's often called the "master teacher." You are highly creative in all areas of life,
especially in visual arts and music. You're also very intuitive and these gifts make you
a natural counsellor and healer. You give comfort and warmth to the people you love.
You're also a great communicator and you have a gift for explaining complex ideas in ways that
are clear and easy to understand. But sometimes you can find yourself taking on too many things
and carrying too many responsibilities which leaves you feeling overly burdened and drained.
Your ability to focus is the key to unlocking your fullest potential.
