So you meet someone for the first time, and for whatever reason, you're intrigued. You want to learn more, because on paper, this person seems amazing, and kind. But there's that nagging voice in the back of your head.
"What is this person really like? " Wouldn't it be nice to have some insight to help your intuition along? One of the advantages of numerology is that within moments of meeting someone, you can learn their name, and instantly gain many powerful insights about who they are.
According to numerology, a person's name contains within it powerful vibrations that reveal all kinds of insights about their personal potential, inner motivations, and deepest talents. Compare that to something like the Myers-Briggs personality test or any other personality test, which is time consuming and practically impossible to do with someone you've just met. And compare it to astrology, where you'd need to learn someone's birthday and their exact time of birth to get an accurate reading.
But someone's name is often the first thing we learn about them. If you're skeptical, at this point, you might be wondering "what's really in a name? " Aren't names just meaningless labels?
But according to an article by Jenna Goudreau, there's growing evidence that your name can have an unexpectedly big impact on your lifetime success, from your hire-ability to your spending habits. A New York University study found that people with easier to pronounce names often have higher status positions at work. Psychologist Adam Alter says that when we can process a piece of information more easily, when it's simpler to understand, we tend to like it more.
The power of your name is something that's long been understood in numerology, which goes even further, and finds that our names contain unique vibrations. And if we delve deeper into the letters of your name, it takes us into the realm of soul and intuition, and brings us to the subconscious energies that exist within it. So how can we use numerology to unlock these insights?
To figure that out, we have to look at what's called the "Expression Number," which is also sometimes called the "Destiny Number. " In Pythagorean numerology, the expression number is the second most important element in your numerology chart. In terms of importance, it's behind only the Life Path Number which we explored in this video.
The expression number reveals your natural talents abilities and the areas of your life that must be developed in order for you to reach your fullest potential. Your expression number is derived from your full name on your birth certificate and here's how to calculate it. First you convert each letter of your birth name into a corresponding number using the Pythagorean table which looks like this.
Let's work through an example. Let's say we want to calculate the expression number for Paul McCartney. We start out by writing his full legal name, which is James Paul McCartney.
And using the Pythagorean numerology table we work out the number for each letter in the name. In other words, we match each letter in the name to a number value in the Pythagorean table. And when we do that, we get a list of numbers that looks like this.
Then we add each of the digits together and when we do that we get the number 65. Anytime we have a number that's more than one digit we add each of the digits together until there's only one digit left. We call this process "reducing the numbers.
" The only exception is if we get the numbers 11, 22, or 33. We don't reduce these numbers, they're master numbers, which have their own specific meanings. In this case we reduce the number 65 by adding its digits 6 and 5 together, and when we do that, we get the number 11, which we don't reduce any further, because it's a master number.
And so Paul McCartney has an 11 expression number. But let's say you only know someone's first name or you only know their last name even if you don't know their full name. Numerology can reveal powerful insights from these names as well.
Let's go back to our example with Paul McCartney. We can separate the vibrations of the name into a first name, middle name, and last name using the same chart. We find that the letters in his first name "James" has these number values, and when we add and reduce those numbers we get the number three.
In numerology the first name reveals insights into your spiritual aspirations and goals in your lifetime. In this case the first name James reveals a three vibration. We also find that the letters in the middle name "Paul" has these number values, and when we add and reduce these numbers we get the number five.
According to numerology, the middle name reveals extra resources and qualities that you can rely on in times of crisis and spiritual growth. In this case the name "Paul" has a five vibration. Lastly we find that the last name "McCartney" gives us these number values, and when we add and reduce these numbers we get the number three.
According to numerology the last name tells us powerful karmic lessons and important issues that arise in our family histories and our family relationships. In this case the name McCartney has a three vibration. What this shows is that even if you only have part of someone's full name you can still learn quite a lot about that person.
But when you combine all the letter energies from your full birth name it reveals the total vibration from birth to death, capturing the life lessons, qualities, and hidden potential that's contained within your name. And for Paul McCartney, when you combine the first middle and last name that's the 11 Expression number. Now that you know how to calculate your expression number, let's look at what each of the expression numbers mean.

Another challenge you have is that too much social interaction can drain you. You need a certain amount of privacy and a place where you can escape from the hustle and bustle of life. Out of all the expression numbers you are the practical realist.
You have within you the potential to achieve great things, even more than you realize. Whatever challenge you choose to pursue, you strive to be the best and most successful in your field. You have an intuitive understanding of the bigger picture.
This gives you the ability to see the broader challenges ahead and to apply your intelligence to anticipate many problems before they happen. At the same time you can find yourself questioning your own abilities and wondering if you've really made the right choices.

And especially in situations where you give support to those who can't defend themselves.

It can be tempting for you to settle for something less than this. To tell yourself that your dreams are unrealistic and not worth pursuing. But this only leads to frustration and you can only do this for so long, because on some level you feel called to greater things.
