Your Expression number
Your Expression number reveals your physical and mental constitution, the orientation or goal of your life.
Some numerologists refer to this number as the Destiny, because it represents a lifelong target at which you
are aiming. You work at fulfilling this potential every day of your life. Thus, the Expression number reveals
your inner goal, the person you aim to be.
Your Expression number also reveals your talents, abilities, characteristics and shortcomings. The extent to
which you learn to use these abilities and to tap into your inner potential defines who you are.
To the numerologist, your individual talents and characteristics are presented by each letter in your name and
its corresponding number. Like a mosaic, these combine to form a totality, a picture that reveals the real you.
Your name at birth can be seen as a blueprint of your potential. The key word here is potential.
The Expression number is derived from your full name at birth, meaning your first, middle (if you have one),
and last names. Typically, it is the name that appears on your birth certificate. Occasionally, there are
questions about exactly what name is used. A few examples, and how to decide which name to use, are listed
below. These examples also apply to the Heart's Desire and Personality numbers.
When clerical errors occur on a birth certificate, if the mistake is accepted by the parents, and form that point
onward is the acknowledged name, this name on the birth certificate, with the spelling error, is used to find the
Expression number.
If you have been adopted, and you have been provided a new name by your adopting parents, use the original
name given to you before the adoption.
If you were adopted, and never knew you original name, use the name that is the earliest remembered.
However, without the original name, a complete chart may not be possible.
Even if you have never used your original name, that name still represents the blueprint of your life, and is
used to find the Expression number.
Names given at confirmation, by a spiritual teacher or guru, or at some other religious ceremony, are not used
for the Expression number, but can be used additionally to give further insight into the personality. (See Minor
Expression, Minor Heart's Desire later in this chapter.)
If you received more than one middle (or last) name at birth, use all the middle or last names. If there is a
junior, senior, the third, et cetera in your name, always discard such additions. They are too general to bear
any significance to your name.
How to Find Your Expression number.
The Individual letters of your name are all assigned a specific single-digit number.
Each letter is given a number according to the place it falls in the alphabet: The letter A, being the first letter,
is a 1; the letter B is a 2; the C is a 3; D is 4; and so on. Letters that come after the I (the ninth letter of the
alphabet) and have double-digits, such as M, the thirteenth letter, are reduced to single digit numbers in the
same way as described earlier; that is, by adding the two digits. The letter M therefore becomes a 4.
For the numerical value of each letter, see the listing below.

To find your Expression number, write out your full name, and place the appropriate numerical value beneath
each letter. Add the numbers of your first name, and then reduce it to a single digit. Do the same for your
middle and last names. Now, add the three single-digit numbers, and reduce them to another single-digit
number to find your Expression number. If at any time you encounter a Master number, 11, 22 or 33, do not
reduce it to a single-digit number.

Your Heart's Desire number
(sometimes called "Soul Urge")
The Heart's Desire number is just what the name implies: your innermost yearning; the dreams closest to
your heart. Consequently, it shows your underlying motivation, or the general intention behind many of your
actions. It dramatically influences the choices you make in life. Its influence is everywhere in your life -- your
career, your environment, friendships, and life style.
Your Heart's Desire is derived from the vowels of your name. Note that vowels are pronounced from
free-flowing breath: Aaaaaa; Eeeeeee; Iiiiiiiiii, Oooooo; and Uuuuuu. Consonants, on the other hand, have a
distinct beginning or end. They are sharply begun or sharply finished. For example: B, D, K, P, S, T, and X.
There is a distinction in consonants, a harder edge than the soft and flowing vowels. The vowels reveal the
tender you; your love, caring, and vulnerability. Consonants reveal certain of your characteristics that, among
other things, shield your more vulnerable parts. Your public personality, which is revealed by the consonants,
is a fundamental aspect of who you are, but these characteristics tend to be those aspects that you willingly
show the world.
The vowels are A, E, I, O, and U. All other letters are consonants, except, in some cases, the letter Y.
The letter Y is inherently vacillating in its nature and usage, and consequently is sometimes a vowel,
sometimes a consonant, depending upon how it is used in the name.
When determining if the Y is a vowel or a consonant, the basic rule is this:
When the letter serves as a vowel, and in fact sounds like one, it is a vowel. The same is true when the Y
serves as the only vowel in the syllable.
Examples of both of these cases are such names as Lynn, Yvonne, Mary, Betty, Ely, and Bryan.
However, if the Y does not provide a separate vowel sound, as when it is coupled with another vowel, it is
considered a consonant. In names such as Maloney or Murray, the Y is a consonant, because the vowel sound
depends upon the long E in Maloney and the long A in Murray.
In general, the Y is a consonant when the syllable already has a vowel. Also, the Y is considered a consonant
when it is used in the place of the soft J sound, as in the name Yolanda or Yoda.
In the names Bryan and Wyatt, the Y is a vowel, because it provides the only vowel sound for the first syllable
of both names. For both of these names, the letter A is part of the second syllable, and therefore does not
influence the nature of the Y.
How to Find the Heart's Desire number.
The Heart's Desire number is found as follows:
Add only the vowels of each name and reduce to a single-digit.
Next, add the resulting single digits and reduce the result again to a single-digit.

Your Personality number
(sometimes called "Outer Personality")
Your Personality number is derived from the consonants of your full name at birth. Your Personality is like a
narrow entrance hall to the great room that is your true nature. It is those aspects that you feel comfortable
sharing with people at the outset of a relationship. With time and trust, you invite others into the deeper
aspects of your nature; you reveal more of who you really are, in effect, your Heart's Desire, Expression, and
so on.
Your Personality number often serves as a censoring device, both in terms of what you send out, as well as
what you allow to approach. It discriminates in the kinds of people and information you let enter your heart
and mind. For this reason, your Personality is usually much more narrow and protective in its definition than
the real you. It can screen out some of what you do not want to deal with -- people or situations -- but it also
welcomes those things that immediately relate to your inner nature.
Fortunately or unfortunately, this narrow entrance is the first impression people get of you. It either welcomes
and intrigues them, or it causes them to lose interest.

The Pinnacles are four long-term cycles on our Life Path. They represent specific attributes that must be
assimilated into your being. This process occurs by having to measure up to the demands and opportunities
the Pinnacle presents to you. It forces you to deal with the qualities of that Pinnacle number. In the process,
the Pinnacle shapes you.
The First Pinnacle lasts from birth until age thirty-six, minus your Life Path number. Each of the next two
Pinnacles lasts nine years. The Fourth and last Pinnacle lasts for the remainder of your life.
A Pinnacle change always takes place during the 9 and the 1 Personal Years, which signify the end and the
beginning of long-term cycles. While we go through numerous nine-year cycles, each one of which causes
changes in the beginning and the end, the Pinnacle changes mark intense episodes of transformation in our
personal lives.
Because we start out in one Pinnacle, everyone experiences only three Pinnacle changes during the course
of a lifetime.
You can prepare yourself for the times ahead by knowing your approaching Pinnacle number, and the time
these changes occur.
How to Find Your Pinnacle Numbers.
To find your First Pinnacle, add the numbers of your month and day of birth, arriving at a single-digit
number. For example, if you were born on May 15, 1949, your First Pinnacle would be found by adding the
5 (for May) and the 6 (for the fifteenth) to arrive at 11. Master numbers encountered during the Pinnacle
calculations are not reduced. Someone born on November 5 would add 11 (for November -- a Master
number) and the 5 to get 16, which is 7.
To find your Second Pinnacle, add the day you were born to the year of your birth. Using May 15, 1949
again, add the 6 (for the fifteenth day) and the birth year 5 (for 1949) and arrive at another 11.
To find your Third Pinnacle, add the sum of the first and the second Pinnacles -- in our example, 11 plus 11
-- and arrive at 22. The 22 is a Master number and is therefore not reduced.
To find your Fourth and last Pinnacle, add your month and year of birth. Using the example, add 5 (for
May) and 5 (for 1949) to arrive at 10, which reduces to 1.
