Numerology is the study of the numbers of your birthdate and the numeric value given to your name which reveal a direct relationship to your life path, personality, soul purpose, karmic lessons and more.

If you’ve ever wondered why your personality is a certain way, or why you always seem to have the same challenging experience showing up in your life, then getting a numerology reading just may give you the answers you’re looking for.

The most important number in numerology is your Birth Date number.

To calculate this number, just add up the numbers of your birth date:

For example, if your birthday is July 26, 1968, then add (7+2+6+1+9+6+8= 39)

Next, further reduce the number 39 (3+9=12; 1+2=3) to reveal that 3 is your birth date number.

Your Birth Date number is also known as your Life Path number, and reveals the opportunities, challenges and lessons you chose for this lifetime. It also helps you understand who you are deep down and what talents you possess that will help you with your career especially.

The letters in your birth name are given a numerical value, and when added together they reveal your Personality Number.

This number reveals an overall explanation of your true nature and the way you instinctually behave. The following chart shows you how to calculate your Personality Number from your full name given at birth:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
A B C D E F G H I
J K L M N O P Q R
S T U V W X Y Z

For example:

Birth name: Tracy Lynn Scott

Find each letter in the chart above and assign it a number. Add all of the numbers together:

2+9+1+3+7+3+7+5+5+1+3+6+2+2 = 56; Further reduce 56 (5+6=11; 1+1=2)

Tracy’s Personality number is 2, or Master number 11.

Now that you’ve had a chance to add up your Life Path and Personality Numbers, look at the specific meanings below to understand what the numbers mean in your life.
