Numerology is the study of numbers as meaningful constructs related to human consciousness. Numbers shape our lives in many ways, starting with number values associated with the letters of words, especially our names, and dates of birth, for people, events and companies.
We have the numbers for our birthday, month and year. Most countries have a number range for citizens (in the United States this is the 9-digit Social Security Number or SSN). Most of us have a telephone number; When we drive a car, we have a license plate. Each word and set of numbers is reduced to a number between 1 and 9, and each of those numbers has a spiritual meaning.
The Soul Purpose Number is the single, reduced digit of your Life Path Number plus your Destiny Number.
What is the life path number
The life path number is the single, reduced digit of your birth month, birthday and year of birth.
How do you calculate your life path number?
Calculating the life path number is quite simple; you can use two methods that will produce the same result. We use the date of birth 25-06-2007
Method 1
Simply add the numbers one by one: 6+2+5+2+7, which equals 22 (a cardinal number), which reduces to 4.
Method 2
Add the numbers as groups: 2007 + 25 + 6, which equals 2038. Add these numbers one by one: 2+3+8, which equals 13, which reduces to 4.
The result is the same, but it is telling that the first method arrives at 22, which is a number that stands alone AND decreases.
The single digit number of your birth reveals the best energetic direction for your soul in this life. Knowing your life path number can help you succeed if you commit to the meaning of the number.

What is the lottery number
The destination number is the single, reduced digit of your full birth name, as it would appear on a birth certificate or official public document.
How do you calculate your lottery number?
To calculate your lottery number, enter your full birth name in the calculator field below. The calculator uses the Pythagorean method.
Calculating the destiny number depends on which numerology system you want to use. There are currently three systems in common use: Pythagorean, Gematria, and Chaldean. Although they all assign number values to letters, they vary on some letters. For example, A is 1 in all systems. Q is 8 in the Pythagorean system, 4 in the Gematria system and 1 in the Chaldean system.
Therefore, the Destiny number of a man named Quincy would add up from the following numbers:
Pythagoras
Gematria
Chaldean
Coincidentally, the Pythagorean and Chaldean destiny is 8, while the Gematria destiny is 3.
The single digit number of your name reveals the energy you attract from others and the world. Knowing your destiny number will help you understand why people want you to play a certain role in life.
The soul purpose number
Your life path number reveals your numerical engine; it is the energy that drives you. Your destiny number reveals the numerical energy the world desires from you. When you combine them, you get your Soul Purpose Number, which reveals the ‘why’ of your existence in this life.
These numbers correspond to the three most important points in your astrology chart: the Sun, which would be your life path number; the Ascendant, which would be your destiny number; and the moon, which would be your soul purpose number. In astrological terminology, the sun is how you shine in the world; the Ascendant is how you present and how you are perceived by the world, and the Moon is how you feel in this existence.
Knowing your Soul Purpose Number is crucial to understanding the core of your numerological design. Most Soul Purpose numbers range from 1 to 9 and 11. Ask Astrology offers an extensive table with 81 combinations.
What makes the Soul Purpose number interesting is the fact that there can be at least 9 different variations that make up one number. Let’s look at individuals with a soul purpose number 3. They could be any of the following:
| Life path # | + | Destination # | = | Soul Purpose # | Meaning |
| 1 | 2 | 3 | To create with the help of others | ||
| 2 | 1 | 3 | Create by helping others | ||
| 3 | 9 | (12)3 | To create and share your vision | ||
| 4 | 8 | (12)3 | Creating by leading to build something | ||
| 5 | 7 | (12)3 | To create spiritually as a disruptor | ||
| 6 | 6 | (12)3 | To create a service and educate others | ||
| 7 | 5 | (12)3 | To create disruptively with spiritual truth | ||
| 8 | 4 | (12)3 | Creating a foundation through personal strength | ||
| 9 | 3 | (12)3 | Creating the understanding of life through art |
They all have a soul purpose to create, but how they will create and what others want them to create will be influenced by their Life Path Number and their Destiny Number. All 3’s are not created equal! Interesting paradox, right?!
Soul purpose numbers and relationships
Now that you know what life path numbers, destiny numbers, and soul purpose numbers are, you can see how matching yourself with someone else, numerologically speaking, requires you to consider a triple combination and not just the single numbers. Maybe you’re a 3 and you meet another 3 and wonder why you’re having trouble getting along.
It may be that one of you has an 8 that is part of Soul Purpose 3 and wants to “get paid” for creative endeavors, while the other person has a 9 that is part of Soul Purpose 3 and wants to “give it away.” their creative work.
Remember, you are NOT as simple as a single number!
