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.
Your destiny number is the single-digit number you get by reducing the total number of letters from your full name on the birth certificate. However, there are several other numbers in your name, which will be explored in this article.
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?
Calculating the destiny number depends on which numerology system you want to use. There are three systems in common use today: 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
| Q | YOU | I | N | c | Y | ||
| 8 | 3 | 9 | 5 | 3 | 7 | = 35 | = 8 |
Gematria
| Q | YOU | I | N | c | Y | ||
| 4 | 6 | 5 | 1 | 3 | 2 | = 21 | = 3 |
Chaldean
| Q | YOU | I | N | c | Y | ||
| 1 | 6 | 1 | 5 | 3 | 1 | = 17 | = 8 |
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.
My single digit destination number of my full name, Philip Franklin Young, using Pythagorean number assignments is 7+8+9+3+9+7+6+9+1+5+2+3+9+5+7+ 6 +3+5+7, which is a total of 111, which reduces to a 3, the Creator.
Name Numerology
This numerology applies to any ‘named’ entity, not just people, but also companies and countries. Your full birth name indicates your destiny. A company’s full name indicates its fate. And as you might rightly assume, changing your name can change your destiny. Having nicknames or shortening your name for practical purposes shapes your destiny in subtle ways.
You have five numbers in your name: the active number, your heredity numbers (2), a soul urge number and your personality number. The active number is the total of your first name reduced to one digit. The heritabilities are the separate totals of your last name (in the world) and the other parent’s last name (hidden from the world unless your last name is hyphenated).
The soul urge number is the total of the vowels in your name, reduced. And the personality number is the sum of the consonants in your name, reduced. Sometimes you get duplicate numbers and sometimes they are all different. These additional numbers add depth and complexity to your numerology story.
Meanings within names
Active number – First name
The calculation of the first name is your Active number. This number, and the energy it represents, is the first energy people most often feel when they greet you and you greet them. You essentially lead with your first name; not always, but usually. My first name, Philip (7+8+9+3+9+7) totals 43, which is a 7.
My active number is the Mystic, quite appropriate since my work is spiritual advice. My daughter’s first name is Maya (4+1+7+1), which is a total of 13, which equates to a 4, the Builder. Among her friends, she is the glue that binds them.
Hereditary number – Surnames
Your surname calculation represents your heredity number and the strength of your family line. Two heritabilities need to be calculated: the last name of your public lineage (usually the leader of the family) and the last name of the private lineage (usually the caretaker of the family). Generally this is father for the public surname and mother for the private surname. This specifically includes father/father and mother/mother combinations, which can more often be represented by a hyphen and are therefore both public.
My father’s last name and the name I have on my Social Security card is Young (7+6+3+5+7), which is a total of 28, which goes down to 10, down to 1, the Pioneer. Both my father and I eventually became entrepreneurs and sole proprietors of our respective businesses. My mother’s maiden name is Welborn (5+5+3+2+6+9+5), which is a total of 35, making 8, the Leader. From my mother I inherited the drive to succeed in the world and somehow pursue a high level of status (PhD).
Soul Urge Number – the vowels in the name
Hidden in a name is the soul urge number, the number of the total of all vowels in the name. My soul urge letters are i+i+a+i+o+u (9+9+1+9+6+3) by Philip Franklin Young, which is a total of 37, which reduces to 10, to 1, The Pioneer. The Soul Urge represents your deepest desire, what you want and need most emotionally.
My soul urge and my father’s last name are the same numbers, so the independent, headstrong and pioneering energy is strong in my numerology story. And interestingly enough, my sun sign is Aries, the first sign of the zodiac.
Personality number – the consonants in the name
Also hidden in a name is the personality number, the number of the total of all the consonants in the name. My personality letters are p+h+l+p+f+r+n+k+l+n+y+n+g (7+8+3+7+6+9+5+2+3+5+ 7 +5+7), which is a total of 74, which is reduced to 11 (a master number) and then to 2, The Partner. The personality number represents social status and connection to the material world.
Since my number 2 is from 11, it is important to understand 11’s individuality as part of my partnership status. Within all relationships, I need and express autonomy, which requires partnerships that do not restrict or limit me.
Sum up
So the complete numerological picture of my full name, Philip Franklin Young, is:
- Lot number 3
- Active number 7
- Heredity numbers 1 and 8
- Soul urge number 1
- Personality number 11/2
In summary, I aspire to be a creative mystical pioneer who seeks status and strong partnership as my path to success in this life.
