Discovering Your Most Important Numbers

There are many numbers in your personal numerology chart. Some are more important than others.

The most important number of your numerology chart is your name number.

(The name number is the number generally meant when someone asks what your number is.)

Your name number is at the destiny position of your personal numerology chart. It is one of the numerology chart core numbers.

Each of the core numbers is important. But there are degrees of importance.

The two most important core numbers are the destiny number and the life path number.

Although both the destiny and life path numbers have equal importance in a numerology chart, there is a reason why the destiny number is the one to think of as your number.

The destiny number is about you, the person you are, and the life path number is about your experience as you live life. Because the destiny number is the most about you as a person, it can be considered to be your number.
