Numerology: how to calculate your personal number and your life path?

The numerology is to study the numbers that govern our lives. This study makes it possible to obtain various information on the future, on the destiny but also on the character of each one. How to highlight these numbers and decipher them? That’s what we’re going to find out.

Numerology, the universal language of numbers

Our Date of Birth but also our full name carry within them a number system that allows us to better understand existence. Thus numerology offers us the opportunity to determine:

• our personal number to have indications on our personality, on our temperament;
• our way of life that brings us information about our destiny out of context;
• the value of our first name in order to better measure the forces stemming from the past, from the heritage that governs us.

But this universal language also makes it possible to better understand the course of a year to come. And much more, as we will see.

What are the basics of numerology?

However, before going any further, we must know the correspondence between letters and numbers to be able to determine the numbers behind our first and last names.

Now that we have this information at our disposal, we can get started.

How to calculate your number in numerology?

We all have a number that corresponds to us. We call it our personal number. To find it, you have to perform a calculation based on the letters of our birth name. Thus, a person whose birth name is DUPONT, will be able to know his personal number according to the correspondences exposed above and by adding them:

D = 4, U = 3, P = 7, O = 6, N = 5 and T = 2 which gives a total of 4 + 3 + 7 + 6 + 5 + 2 = 27 or 2 + 7 = 9.

Dupont’s personal number is 9.

Now let’s move on to the life path.

How is the life path calculated?

Calculating it is very simple. It is necessary, in fact, know the date of birth of the person concerned. Here, the letters of the surname and first name are not involved in the calculation. For example, if the person was born on January 16, 1968, you must add all the digits 1 + 6 + 1 (corresponding to January, the first month of the year) + 1 + 9 + 6 + 8 = 32, i.e. 3 + 2 = 5. This person therefore has a life path corresponding to the number 5.

Another example: if the person was born on December 1, 1986, proceed as follows: 1 + 1 + 2 (corresponding to 12, i.e. December, 12^e months of the year) + 1 + 9 + 8 + 6 = 28 or 10 or 1 + 0 = 1. Here we are in the presence of a life path 1.

Now let’s come to the value of the first name in numerology

How to calculate the value of his first name?

the first name in numerology give some indications on the character of the person, on his relationship with the outside world but also on all the heritage that it will have to assume during its existence. Essential information! Note that this number is also called hereditary number.

To get it, you have to take each letter of the first name, see their correspondence and add them as we could do with the family name for the personal number. Let’s take the example of Anaïs. What do we get? A = 1, N = 5, A = 1, Ï = 9 and S = 1. The sum is then (1 + 5 + 2 + 9 + 1) 18, or 9 (1 + 8). The value of Anais’ first name is 9.

How to know its current year?

Numerology also offers the opportunity to know in broad terms the successes and difficulties that will punctuate a year. To know the predilections, it is necessary to embark on a calculation which takes into account the date of birth (as we have seen for the life path) but also the year arousing interest. An example to make everything clear:

Let’s imagine that you were born on March 21, 1971 and that you want to know the events that will mark your year 2022. The calculation is therefore 2 + 1 (day of birth) + 3 (corresponding to the month of March) + 1 + 9 + 7 + 1 (year of birth) + 2 + 0 + 2 + 2 (reference year) = 30, or 3!

Other information that numerology can provide

Numerology is not limited to the personal number, the life path, the value of the first name or even the current year. It is indeed possible to obtain other information such as the “number achievement” which gives indications on the professional path (it is the sum of the figures corresponding to the consonants of the name and first name), the “number expression“which gives information on the qualities and faults of the person concerned (sum of the figures from the surname and first name), or the “intimate number” which reveals the capacities of the person and the ideals, the dreams which carry it (sum of the vowels of the name and first name).
