This article examines his numerology to see how he expresses his numbers.
Life path number
The life path is the total of a person’s birthdays (mm/dd/yyyy). Stan’s birthday was December 4, 1969, so 12/04/1969, which is the total of 1985, which is 23, which is a 5. If the numbers are added consecutively, the total is 32, which is 5.
An individual with life path number five is adventurous and an agent of change. That’s why they have passion and energy to visit the world, interact with new people and spread ideas. Their personality develops through their efforts to learn about the world through exploration.
As they explore people, they embrace diversity, new experiences and differences. So they become successful by mastering knowledge and broad experience. As they look for success in life, they overcome challenges that come their way by finding alternative solutions to arrive at the best solution.

The number 5 is the number for exploration, disruption and transformation. It’s a good number for a man who is famous worldwide for his talent as a rapper, songwriter and music producer. Although he is generally known for his own musical success, his business activities make him much more of a No. 5 disruptor and transformer.
Lot number
The destination number is the total of the full birth name. Shawn Corey Carter is his birth name, so his destiny number is the sum of his first, middle, and last names, which equals 79, which equals 16, which decreases to 7.
An individual with destiny number seven attracts spiritual and esoteric people. Therefore, they know how to encourage truth seekers, dreamers and philosophers. They can see the potential in those others who want to learn about the world by studying large patterns and find purpose in life.

The number 7, for the mystic, and the number 8, for leadership and power are excellent numbers for Jay-Z, who has an almost magical ability to help other artists gain power. This combination can easily be described as the “Midas Touch”.
Active number
You live life with your first name, and therefore its numerical value is your active number. Some people use their first name, others adopt a nickname given to them by a family member or peer, and some people choose a nickname or even an alternate name.
The “real” active number is the given birth name. Even if you legally change your first name, the active core number is the birth name your parents gave you. A legally changed name is more powerful than a nickname. And every name used to identify a person in the world is a variation of an active number. In Shawn’s case, his active number is 21, which reduces to 3, the number for the Creator.
An individual with an active number 3 is creative and dynamic. That’s why they love learning, solving problems, expressing ideas and working creatively. A child with a 3 first name prefers to engage in creative activities and be as active as possible throughout the day. When they are focused, they achieve amazing feats, but when they are disinterested, no threat or reward moves them.
The number for “Jay” is 9. An individual who has an active number 9 is often wise beyond his or her years, even later in life. Therefore, they tend to be patient, consider their actions carefully and see the “big picture.” A child with a first name of 9 is an excellent observer and enjoys being guided and acted upon by others until he or she is invited to participate. First Name 9 people act with compassion and imbibe wisdom.
Hereditary number
Essentially, you inherit numbers from your parents. Usually the father’s surname is the one that dominates and is known in the world. The mother’s surname often becomes a woman’s middle name after marriage, when she takes her husband’s surname. In Shawn’s case, his surname Carter totals 11, a cardinal number, which goes down to 2, the Partner.
An individual with heredity number 11 inherits a special insight or talent from one or both parents. The person must determine how to understand energy number 11 through the influence of the parent. That influence can manifest itself as support or oppression. In other words, the child receives encouragement to stand out positively or must overcome the parent’s narcissism. Either way, the child learns the lesson of individuation from the parent, or despite the fact that the parent’s last name is the number 11.
The number for “Z” is 8. An individual with heredity number 8 inherits leadership from one or both parents. The person must determine how to understand energy number 8 through the influence of the parent. That influence can manifest itself as support or oppression. In other words, the child receives encouragement to develop as a leader or suffers at the hands of an insecure parent. Either way, the child learns the lesson of power from the parent, or despite the fact that the parent with the last name is the number.
Soul urge number
The Soul Urge Number is the total of the vowels in a name, especially the full birth name. The Soul Urge is like an energy charge within a person’s numerology. The Soul Urge number ’empowers’ the Destiny number. In Shawn’s case, his number is 18, which reduces to 9.
An individual with a Soul Urge Number 9 draws energy from a love for life. Therefore, they operate from the need to unlock wisdom to generate energy. These individuals are often patient, observant, and introverted. If you accept that you have to be open and generous to get what you want and to make things happen, you will become more successful in your relationships and endeavors.
The number for “Jay-Z” is 1. An individual with a Soul Urge Number 1 draws energy from themselves. That is why they work with inner strength and inner guidance that is intense. These individuals are often confident, self-aware and motivated. If you accept that you have to take the initiative to get what you want and to make things happen, you can become more successful in your relationships and endeavors.
Personality number
The personality number is the total of consonants in the name, specifically the full birth name. The personality number is how people meet and interpret someone. It’s like the clothes you choose when you plan to go out, which makes people react to you in a certain way. For Shawn, his number is 61, which drops to 7.
A person with personality number 7 presents themselves as mysterious to others. Therefore, others consider them enlightened or delusional. People who like spiritual leaders expect a Personality 7 to fill that role in life. Don’t be surprised if people treat you like someone who understands their purpose in life, even if you want to focus on your purpose in life.
The number for “Jay-Z” is 16, which reduces to 7, the same as his personality number with his full birth name.
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.
In Shawn’s case, his soul purpose number is the sum of his life path number 5 plus his destiny number 7, which totals 12, which goes down to 3. With a combination of 5 + 7, he is here to “spiritually create as a disruptor.” .
In Jay-Z’s case, his Soul Purpose Number is the total of his life path number 5 plus his destiny number 8, which totals 13, which goes down to 4. With a combination of 5 + 8, he is here to “build as the leader of revolution”.
Shawn’s total numerology is:
- LPN = 5
- DN=7
- A=3
- HN = 11/2
- SUN = 9
- PN = 7
- SPN = 3
Jay-Z’s total numerology is:
- LPN = 5
- DN=8
- A=9
- HN = 8
- SUN = 1
- PN = 7
- SPN = 4
As you can see, there is a strong energy thread that includes the numbers 7 (three times) and 8 and 9 (twice), which can be summarized as a mystic, who is powerful and compassionate.
