At some point in your life you truly begin to ask yourself about your life purpose. You want to find the ultimate answer to your quest, with meaning and purpose beyond the day-to-day activities and beyond cultural influences. Fortunately, there are several methods you may use to find the answer you are looking for. In this article, I will address Numerology.
Numerology might be a good start to discover your life purpose, especially if you resonate with the idea that everything in the universe can ultimately be reduced to numbers, as Pythagoras taught. This exercise can be fun if you do it with an open mind and if you take the result as a very important hint in your quest, but not as a sort of straitjacket.
Basically, you calculate your life purpose or life path number by adding all the digits of your birth day (month/day/full year) one by one until you reach a 2 digit number. Then you add together these 2 digits to reach a final number.
This would be your "LIFE PATH NUMBER". OK, what does it tell you? -It tells you the basic path you are walking. It gives you a hint about your basic abilities and opportunities, a broad picture about your path. What does each number tell you? -Each number has a special meaning according to Numerology, which can be summarized as follows:
1. Leadership. You have a strong drive, confidence and wish to lead and have attention.
2. Kindness. You are emotional and sensitive, kind and understanding. Relationships matter a lot to you.
3. Imagination. You wish to give joy, happiness. You are friendly and normally have a good sense of humor. You are artistic and expressive. Having many friends and being popular is important to you.
4. Patience. You are disciplined, methodical and reliable. You are grounded and hard-working. You like order.
5. Freedom. You like change and variety. You love your personal freedom. You like to travel. You are adaptable to any condition, country or kind of people.
6. Balance. You are a nurturer and center your life around a nice home and your loved ones. You are a loyal friend and a good counselor.
7. Spirituality. You wish peace and silence to live your inner life. You like to analyze things from all angles and going to the source of all things. You seek wisdom and spirituality.
8. Executive power. You wish success in all material things. You love organization, building, finances and management. You have the vision to make your efforts productive. You are efficient.
9. Love for humankind. You are a humanitarian and want to serve the world at large. You are passionate in your beliefs. You have wisdom and compassion. You wish to contribute to save the world.
Note: While double digits are reduced to a single digit (like 10 is reduced to 1), numbers 11 and 22 are considered as special cases in numerology, since they are master numbers.
11. Vision. You are a universalist and dream big. You are innovative, intuitive and sometimes even psychic. You love ideals, have inner strength and devotion.
22. Master Builder. You wish to be the perfect builder for the good and security of all. You have your eyes on the stars but your feet firmly on the ground.
Do you resonate with the above description of your life path number? You might say, "yes, it sounds like me, but is there more?" -Well, Numerology adds up to the fun by providing you with additional clues derived from the numeric vibrations of your name. My name? -I hear you say. Yes, this might seem very subjective indeed, because it can be argued that parents choose the names for their sons or daughters at will, arbitrarily or to pay a tribute to the memory of someone dear. Interestingly, many numerologists think that parents pick up the vibration of their son or daughter subconsciously and end up naming them accordingly. You might believe this or not, but try this exercise, at least for fun. You might be surprised at the result.
For accuracy, you must use your FULL legal name at birth (no nick names or abbreviations). Write it down and write below each letter its numerical value according to the following:
Numerical value "1" for letters A, J or S.
Numerical value "2" for letters B, K or T.
Numerical value "3" for letters C, L or U.
Numerical value "4" for letters D, M or V.
Numerical value "5" for letters E, N or W.
Numerical value "6" for letters F, O, or X.
Numerical value "7" for letters G, P or Y.
Numerical value "8" for letters H, Q or Z.
Numerical value "9" for letters I or R.
Then add all the digits one by one until you reach a 2 digit number. Add together these 2 digits to reach a single-digit final number. This would be your "EXPRESSION NUMBER", the one that tells you what you are expressing in your life. The essence of your vibrations. For some numerologists, this is like "the baggage" of talents and abilities you brought to this world. If you believe in reincarnation, then this number might reflect the experience or wisdom you are carrying from your past lives.
What if you add only the consonants (without vowels) of your full legal name? -Then you will get your "LATENT-BEING NUMBER" or "personality number". It shows how you are when you are at rest, when you are alone -without external influences- and busy with your own dreams.
And what if you add only the vowels (without the consonants) of your full legal name? -This is where the really interesting stuff comes up. You get your "SOUL'S DESIRE NUMBER" or "heart's desire number". The vowels in your name give you the vibration of your soul's desire or ideal, according to Numerology. This number might be the same number you got for your expression number or for your latent-being number, or might be a different one. And once you grasp the messages of all this numbers, you may have a nice broad picture of yourself and your general life purpose. Enjoy.
