Numerology Name Readings

A personal numerology chart has three core numbers that are calculated from the name.

The energy of those three positions have more force than any other numerology chart positions calculated from the name. The positions are:

• The personality number that represents a general approach to life.

• The heart's desire number that represents a yearning.

• The destiny position that represents the character of the person as they know themself.

The numbers for the chart positions are calculated using the person's birth name — the name first recorded at birth.

(If you have changed your name or have another question about the name to use, refer to the best numerology readings information page. It has a section about the name to use for numerology readings.)

Interpretation of each of the three core name numbers can provide insight into the numerology energy the person experiences and is likely to be affected by.

The Heart's Desire number

The Heart's Desire number is sometimes referred to as the Inner Urge or the Soul's Urge number. The number is obtained by calculating only the vowels of the name.

The numerology energy that the Heart's Desire number represents is an inner feeling. It represents something likely to be desired during the entire lifetime of the person. Even if it's accomplished, the person continues to desire still further accomplishment.

The Personality number

The Personality number is sometimes referred to as the Outer Personality number because the number represents how a person presents themself to others. The Personality number is obtained by calculating only the consonants of the name.

The numerology energy that the Personality number represents is a conscious outlook. It represents a physical expression more than spiritual or emotional — a conscious approach to life and the way a person is likely to express themself when meeting others.

The Destiny number

The Destiny number is sometimes referred to as the Ultimate Goal or Personal Expression number. The Destiny number is obtained by calculating all the letters of the name.

The numerology energy that the Destiny number represents is a conscious outlook. It represents characteristics of an integrated person, including who and what the person is and who and what the person is likely to become.
