Core Name Numbers Affect You

A person's name can have many numerology calculations done with it. The numerology tools and calculators page lists quite a few. Further, each letter of the name has a number associated with it.

But most important are the core numbers. Three core numbers are calculated from the birth name. (The birth name would include the given name and family name as recorded when a person is born — as indicated in the Your Name for Numerology Readings article.)

The three core name numbers are the destiny, the personality, and the heart's desire numbers.

• The destiny number is calculated using every letter of the name (see separate article).

• The personality number is calculated using the consonants of the name (see separate article).

• The heart's desire number is calculated using the vowels of the name (see separate article).

Each of those numbers represents the energy of an aspect of the name. The energy of the three numbers blended together compose the energy represented by the full name.

The energy represented by a person's name tends to have an effect on how they visualize themself, the person they are. It tends to have an effect on their outlook on life, on what they dearly want to have or obtain, and how they express their individual characteristics in various situations.

When the energy of the three core name numbers are blended, each of the added energies affects the whole. It is the whole that represents the person's name.

The person's name energy provides subtle urges. Self will is always predominant. But the urges are generally followed because they seem natural to the person.

As an example, a person with a subtle urge for staying home and enjoying comfort with the family can still will themselves to go partying with friends or even total strangers.

To finalize the idea, the subtle numerology energy urges are not something that must be followed. But they generally are.

How Core Name Numbers Affect Each Other

The most important of the three core name numbers is the destiny number. The destiny number is calculated using every letter of the name. In general, the influence of the energy represented by the destiny number has more influence on a person than the energy represented by the other two core name numbers.

The personality core name number and the heart's desire core name number have equal importance. The first is calculated using the vowels of the name. The second is calculated using the consonants of the name.

An example —

As an example, let's assume the destiny number is the number 3 (creativity). The heart's desire is the number 2 (coexistence). And the personality number is the number 1 (independence).

The number 3 energy, being the destiny number, has the most influence.

The personality energy of independence is compatible with the creative destiny energy and can bloom.

(A chart of number energy can be found at Compatibility of Number Energy.)

The heart's desire for existing with others generally remains a desire. The coexistence energy is somewhat incompatible with the creative energy and highly incompatible with the independent energy. There is likely to be some give. The person might marry, for example, and practice their creativity, but still prefer independence.

In conclusion, for that first example, the person is likely to be highly creative but remain mostly independent in their living of life, including in what is creatively expressed.

Another example —

For this second example, let's assume the destiny number is the number 2 (coexistence). The heart's desire is the number 1 (independence). And the personality number is the number 1 (independence).

The number 2 energy, being the destiny number, has the most influence, but not as much as a person might immediately assume.

The personality energy of independence is incompatible with the destiny energy. The person is likely to present themselves to others as being independent, and personally dream of being independent, yet thoroughly enjoy being and living with others in cooperation.

The heart's desire for independence is partially fulfilled with the expression of the personality energy. The personality and heart's desire, their basic energies being identical, enhance each other. The heart's desire energy, being a heart's desire, never gets quite all of the independence being yearned for.

In conclusion, for this last example, the person is likely to thoroughly enjoy being with family and personal friends, and cooperating with others in partnerships. And also to feel satisfaction in expressing an independent nature — while still desiring more independence.

Core name numbers will always affect each other. Sometimes the effect will be to enhance energy and sometimes to diminish. Two of the core name numbers may be identical. But in only one instance can all three be identical, and that is when each is calculated to the number 9.

The core name numbers calculator can be used to do the calculations. The results include a brief interpretation of the calculation results.
