Your Balance number
People experience different internal responses to life's challenges. Some withdraw
from difficult situations to think them through; others withdraw from their emotions, to
try and keep themselves from feeling anything. Some explode with emotions, but allow
the explosion to pass quickly. Others linger with their feelings, holding on to them well
past the time they should have let them go.
Very often, these are conditioned or emotional responses that emerge without thought
or analysis. We have been influenced to respond in this way. Maturity and
self-development help us to learn new and more effective methods of handling our
world and the problems we confront. Your Balance number provides you with the
guidance on how best to deal with difficult or threatening situations.
The Balance number is found by adding the numerical value of the initials of the full
name at birth and reducing it to a single-digit or until a Master number is encountered.
Example: In John Peter Hancock, the initials of J, P, and H, translate to 1, 7, and 8,
which add to 16, which adds to 7 (the 16 being a Karmic Debt number, is written as
16/7).

Your Maturity number
Your Maturity number indicates an underlying wish or desire that gradually surfaces around age thirty to
thirty-five. This underlying goal begins to emerge as you gain a better understanding of yourself. With
self-knowledge comes a greater awareness of who you are, what your true goals in life are, and what
direction you want to set for your life. This, in a nutshell, is the gift of maturity: You no longer waste time
and energy on things that are not within your own special identity.
No matter what your age is at present, you life is being channeled in a specific direction, toward a very
specific goal. That goal can be seen as a reward or the fulfillment of a promise that is implicit in your current
efforts, often without your knowing it consciously. While the characteristics of this number are usually
visible during childhood, we tend to lose sight of these aspects until later in life. But our lives are always
being affected by this influence, nonetheless.
Your Maturity number begins to have a more profound impact on your life after the age of 35. The influence
of the number increases steadily as you grow older.
The Maturity number is the sum of the Life Path and the Expression number reduced to a single-digit or a
Master number.

Your Minor Expression number
The influence of the short name is minor in comparison to your full name. Interestingly, the short name often
compensates in some way for numbers (and their related characteristics) that are missing or out of balance in
the full name.
For instance, a number missing in the full name may show up prominently in the short name; or a number (or
numbers) that appears in excess in the full name can be compensated for in the short name. If a name change
takes place later in life through marriage or for professional reasons, it adds or subtracts certain qualities. It
can also focus and intensify existing characteristics or talents that may be latent.
As a rule, I recommend that you don't change your name on impulse. Marriage, of course, does not leave
much room for choice, although more and more women are hyphenating their names or staying with their
maiden names. However, if you must change your name (for professional reasons, for example), try to
choose a name already in your family, and thus connected to you through your ancestors. Those
characteristics are already present in your lineage, which makes the new name easier to assimilate into your
personality.

In answer to some commonly asked questions when it comes to short names:
- The short name is the name you feel closest to in relaxed and social settings.
- The short name is the name you would use when thinking about yourself, including your last name.
- When figuring out the Minor Expression number, never use the middle initial, unless you introduce
yourself with that initial, such as: "Hi, I'm Tom J. Hancock." - Names you have used in the past reveal inner feelings and characteristics that were prominent during
that period in your life. If you are no longer using that name, it bears no resemblance to your current
identity.
To find your Minor Expression number, use the same formula used to find the Expression number, but apply
this formula to the name you now use to introduce yourself, including your last name.
The Minor Heart's Desire number is derived from the vowels of your short name. The short name is a
refinement of the more complex qualities of your longer name (the full name at birth). It sharpens and
bundles the energies that are reflected by your full name. It intensifies certain aspects of your being , and
de-emphasizes others. For this reason, the short name often provides insight into what you truly want in life.
It also often reveals the extent of your understanding of what you want from this life. It reveals both your
strong desires, and the limits you place upon your potential.
To find your Minor Heart's Desire number, add the sum total of the vowels of your short or current name in
the same manner as that described under Heart's Desire.
The Minor Personality number is based on the consonants of your short or current name, and it gives
additional information about how you present yourself to the outer world. This number reveals in particular
those aspects of your personality that your are, or have become, most comfortable with.
A name change that occurs later in life, such as through marriage or for professional reasons, can have a
significant impact on your approach and your attitude in dealing with others, and this is reflected in your
Minor Personality number. For this reason, name changes should be considered carefully, perhaps with the
guidance of a numerologist. With a marriage, for instance, a hyphenated name is suggested, to add traits
without changing your attitude entirely.

The Karmic Lesson Chart.
Numerology is based on the understanding that we enter life with certain strengths and weaknesses. Karmic
Lessons are areas that we are currently weak in, and that we must face and work on in this life. There can
be more than one Karmic Lesson.
As we have already seen, each letter in your name corresponds to a specific number. Certain numbers
repeat within your name, while others may be missing. Karmic Lessons are indicated when one or more of
the nine single-digit numbers are missing in your name. A Karmic Strength is suggested when a number is
represented two or more times (See Hidden Passion)
The letters and numbers of your name point to talents and abilities that you possess. These characteristics
can be compared to a workshop in which certain tools are available to you. Missing numbers, those that are
not represented in the letters of your name, imply tools that are unavailable, and that must be learned and
mastered during this lifetime.
For people with three or more numbers missing, it is supremely important to focus on your career and
talents, and to persevere in the face of any difficulty or obstacle. The kind of keyhole energy suggested by
such a name gives you the ability to achieve great success in a specific part of life; but before such a
success can be achieved, adversity must be overcome. Perseverance, therefore, becomes the key to
happiness.
How to Find Your Karmic Lessons.
The Karmic Lessons are found by finding which numbers are missing among the letters in the full name at
birth. You can have none, one, or several Karmic Lessons.
For example, in the name Thomas John Hancock, we find the following numbers to be present:
