Subject: [JoS_Astrology] Re: The Power of Letters and Numbers
Following the basic rules presented, similarly to astrology, data is required to check
someone's attributes, and in this case everything that's needed is the birth date and full
name as written in official documents. There are many attributes to extract from this data,
but the most important and revealing are the Destiny Number and its derivatives and the
Expression Number, followed by its very important subdivisions, the Soul and Image numbers.
Sorry if the descriptions are too brief and basic, cookie-cutter-ish, but this is for practical
reasons, since a single number can convey a huge amount of information. Please do your own
research on your numbers and combine the meanings of all the numbers, for they are all
important and are all acting at the same time. The names of the numbers can change quite a
lot, people give them many different names, but that's completely irrelevant. What's important
is knowing how to find them and what they mean, I'll personally use the designation I think
makes easier to remember the meaning.
All these numbers can be calculated not only for people, but for pretty much everything:
countries, cities, corporations, everything that has a name and/or a birthdate.
I'll be using Nietzsche's name and birth date for all examples given. You can check his
astrological chart for comparisons here: http://www.astrotheme.com/astrology/Friedrich_NietzscheExternal ↗
The Destiny Number (sometimes called Life Path)
Related to the Lunar Nodes, especially the North Node, this number represents the path one
follows through life. It tells of the duties and the purpose of being here and shows the
direction which life will inevitably lead to. As for positive/negative meanings, it's all
relative, because the numbers represent forces, energies and, ultimately, potential. The way
one experiences the number can be changed, and will normally depend entirely on the person,
though there can be difficulties or blockages if there are other conflicting attributes.
This number does not have direct influence in personality immediately, it deals with
experiences and situations, but will shape the person over time. Also, it's just natural that
the person will show some of its qualities, because they're necessary for the fulfillment of
the destiny. This is where one of the difficulties can appear, because if the other attributes
are very different from the vibration of the Destiny, the person, without further
understanding, will all but deny him/herself the fulfillment promised by this number. Such a
case could be characterized by an important planet squaring the Nodes, or conjunct the South
Node.
The Destiny Number is calculated using the birth date, adding each number. E.g.: 15 October(10/1) 1844
6 + 1 + 8 = 15 = 1 + 5 = 6 (preferred method, reducing each part: day, month, year then adding them all together)
OR
1 + 5 + 1 + 0 + 1 + 8 + 4 + 4 = 24 = 2 + 4 = 6
Six is the Destiny Number and its energies will rule the overall direction of the life.
Destiny 1
A path of independence and pioneering, bringing the new, causing impact and standing alone
against the world. Possibility of achieving great personal power and autonomy. Everlasting
energy and progress. Many situations dealing with competition and assertion, sometimes
violence. Intense life.
Destiny 2
A path of cooperation and sensibility, can be involved with diplomacy, serving as a bridge to
people and events. There can be situations involving social games, intrigue, manipulation and
sacrifice. Will probably be aided and protected by someone else, likely the marriage partner.
Partnership is important in this path. Likely to prefer behind the scenes work, helping.
Danger of apathy, depression or dependence on other people.
Destiny 3
A path of expression and exposure. Will likely be involved with the public, speaking or
acting. Needs attention, and will seek this throughout the path. Optimism and help, luck with
many affairs. Social life and communication are very important. Can be involved with gossip,
misunderstandings, or situations dealing with appearance or personality.
Destiny 4
A path of security and order. Will build something of value and probably cling to it. Very
practical life, much order, routines, work and effort; wants to be useful. Can become old very
early. Control, stability, accumulation. Slow but steady growth and achievement.
Destiny 5
A life of freedom and variety. Adventure, novelty and exotic experiences. Deep insatisfaction,
always wanting something different, restlessness. Can be involved with learning and developing
talents. Can become many things. Situations dealing with progress, flexibility and change.
Strong sexuality, many sexual experiences and/or issues. Detachment from everything, following
one's own path, probably in an erratic manner. Uncertainty.
Destiny 6
A path of service and responsibility. Can be involved with bureaucracy and social work.
Helping other people, teaching, guiding, healing and protection. Situations involving
teamwork, community, rules, laws. Can become stuck in their own ways and old rules. Great
possibility of raising children, creating a family, attachment to family. Danger of being
abused by others and forced sacrifice.
Destiny 7
A path of refinement and solitude, study and observation. Can be involved with the elite,
those who are refined and learned, science and research. Alternatively, can be involved with
the occult, seeking self-knowledge, discovering truths. Many moments of introspection and
contemplation, little to no involvement with the public or social obligations. Will seek what
others don't, will look where no one looks. Marching to the beat of a different drum. Many
situations involving mysteries, the unknown. Danger of never adapting, never fitting anywhere,
being ostracized.
Destiny 8
A path of power and achievement, survival and crisis. Will likely be involved in power
struggles and manipulation. Fear of losing power and control. Much strength for improvement,
destroys those who are weaker. Situations involving strategy, planning, logic, obscure
dealings, even crime. Very intense life, can go through many challenges, victories and losses,
ups and downs. Deals with wealth and high positions in corporations and/or government.
Destiny 9
A path of understanding and expansion, idealism and humanitarianism. Can be involved with
publishing, broadcasting ideas, propaganda, religion or philantropy. Needs to be good for
others, wants to save the world and give itself entirely to a cause. Can't stand unfairness
and will act to change situations, fight for one's beliefs. Possibility of much travel and
many different experiences, maybe even more than 5. Epiphany, revelations during the life.
Danger of getting lost in confusion, chaos, drugs and alcohool.
A minor but very important number related to the Destiny is the Birthday number (sometimes
called complementary destiny number), for it shows how one utilizes the destiny energies, and
can either help on the path, or bring trouble. The primary focus should be on the birthday
number because it will, whether one likes it or not, influence the path and will be more
easily noticed in life than the Destiny number and because it provides the means to reach the
Destiny. Learning to use this number and integrate it with the Destiny is very helpful and
will eventually bring the full realization of the Destiny.
Using the same example, the birthday number would also be 6. The analysis of the Birthday number
is basically the same of the Destiny number given.
So in this case, for the sake of a simple interpretation, this person would be involved with
helping other people, making them feel safe, taking care of the path for them, teaching and
guiding those who can't do that for themselves. Since the birthday number is also 6, art,
beauty and harmony may play a big part in the realization of the Destiny. Service is
definitely a very strong part of this life path. Also, there's a strong possibility of abuse
in this person's life, being used or deceived.
Mr. Nietzsche was a professor, poet and philosopher, and wrote about art, aesthetics,
the realization of godhood and other important ancient, traditional, almost forgotten at the time
(and still today), aspects of humanity, shaping the path for those who would care to read his works.
He was also very ill and had his work abused by other people, before and after his death.
This is all very clear in his chart, with an emphasis in Libra and Virgo, but most importantly the
chart co-ruler Moon conjunct the North Node in the first house, all representing the qualities of number six.
When the numbers are different, which is most common, the birthday number could represent a
planet aspecting the nodes, influencing the path, giving tools for fulfillment. The Destiny
Number will only be realized through the Birthday Number. When both the Destiny and Birthday
numbers are the same, it could be that the person has a very important planet conjunct the
North Node, or tightly aspecting it. In a case such as that, this person will be inexorably
drawn to the realization of the Destiny, and is likely to have many impactful, positive or
negative life experiences directly related to it.
The Expression Number (also known as Personality Number)
Related to the Sun and the personal planets, this is the main number of personality.
Represents behaviors, personal abilities, reactions to the world. It's easily noticed and will
influence the world around the person, along or against the Destiny number.
Calculated using the full name adding the letters of all the names together, the Expression is
one of the attributes that can be changed. E.g.: Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
F R I E D R I C H
6 9 9 5 4 9 9 3 8 = 62/8
W I L H E L M
5 9 3 8 5 3 4 = 37/10/1
N I E T Z S C H E
5 9 5 2 8 1 3 8 5 = 46/10/1
Expression Number = 8 + 1 + 1 = 10 = 1
The Expression Number is a very strong number 10/1 and rules the core personality. Mr.
Nietzsche was not a common Libra guy.
This number can be altered as one wants, but this should be done with much caution because energies
take time to have an effect and normally should only be used if the person is sure of what that
will bring into his or her life, and if it will be compatible with the other numbers. This
includes married names. Many times, marriages don't last very long because the name energies
are extremely different, incompatible, and will cause problems to each other.
An important minor number linked with the Expression is the Personal (or Name) Number, given
by the value of the letters of the first name. It is similar to the Birthday number in its
relationship with the Destiny number. It separates the individual from the generic archetype
ruled by the Expression number, making it unique. In this case, the Personal number would be 8,
and can be analyzed just as the Expression number.
The first letter of the first name represents a volatile energy that will appear immediately
as a first reaction to situations, but is not standard. The other numbers will prevail over
this, unless the number of the letter and the Name or Expression are the same. When they are
the same or harmonic, this adds consistency to the character.
Expression 1
Leader, entrepreneur, pioneer, unique, needs independence and individuality and, more than all,
activity. Very energetic. Straightforward and honest, sometimes rash, belligerent. Can be
extremely self-centered, even childish. Very ambitious, doesn't take loss very well. Feels the
need to express the individuality at all times, at all costs.
Expression 2
Sensitive, happiest with others by the side. Likes to help, very loving and giving. Can be
shy, doesn't do well with competition and prefers to stay behind the scenes. Deep fear of
solitude and rejection, can be overly attached to loved ones and will put up with anything to
maintain relationships. Possibility of having psychic powers, can feel what others feel, read
between the lines.
Expression 3
Lively, fun, warm, entertaining, upbeat, always the life of the party. Love of social contacts
and performing, being the center of attention. Talent with words and the arts, strong
imagination, very good story teller. Can be very lucky and get away with things. On the other
hand, can be extremely superficial, futile, loud, gossipy, repetitive. Annoying.
Expression 4
Practical, realistic, reliable, no-nonsense attitude. Extremely hard working and commited to
whatever they do. Organized, logical, conservative, slow but steady. Innate understanding of
systems, structures, time and rhythm. Talent for making money and keeping it. Can be dull,
unfeeling, act older than the real age, averse to change and the new.
Expression 5
Exremely versatile and changeable, a chameleon, can become many things, shapeshift.
Intelligent, has many talents and abilities. Jack of all trades, could master them all but
usually ends up being master of nothing because 5 lacks focus. Can't stand staying put, needs
excitement and new things to do. Likes to experiment, often with others, and knows how to
present ideas, seduce, impress. Very sexual, also modern and progressive. There may be a fear
of commitment. Instability, irresponsibility, disregard for rules is very common. Trickster,
player, gambler.
Expression 6
Calm, balanced, responsible, kind and caring. Needs warmth and a comfortable place to live,
the home is very important. Six people often take the role of guardian of whatever is
important to them, usually the family. Talent in the crafts, arts and healing. Provides for
those who need, makes others feel better, even if only with words. Can be insecure, feeling
the need to control the lives of those around, being nosey and nitpicking. Worries about
everything, especially what other people think, can also become a doormat.
Expression 7
Thoughtful, reserved, discreet and refined, nothing quite reaches number seven. Seems to be
out of this world, impenetrable, distant. Doesn't stand superficialities, only cares about the
gist of things, the truth. Rationalizes everything. Interest in the occult, can be a mystic,
philosopher, scientist, or a specialist in a specific field. Can be grumpy, anti-social,
pretentious, haughty, very inconsiderate, rude with others.
Expression 8
Life is business, money is God. Confident, serious, fearless, focused, strong-willed, 8 always
shows its power, especially in competitive situations. Strong interest in finances, management
abilities. With much ambition, will claw the path to success and wealth. Clever, knows how to
manipulate and control others. Very intense presence, imposes respect. May be insecure, and
thus seeks security with power, money and position. Can be frightening, cruel, coldhearted,
evil, the archetypal villain. Extreme.
Expression 9
Open, wants to see, know and understand everything. Loves to give, loves to love, loves to
fight for what it believes. A paladin. Knows how to deal with differences in culture and
behavior. Natural talent with languages and expression. Makes easy contact with - and has the
power to influence - the masses, very large groups of people, the world. Very strong
intuition, gathers information out of thin air. Can be selfless, compassionate, giving its
entire being to a cause; often wants to do that, seeking a calling. Alternatively, can be a
fanatic, delusional, escapist, self-righteous. Lying, deceptive, fraudulent, victim.
Now, these descriptions are given entirely by themselves, as the other numbers will modify
or intensify certain qualities. Mixing the meaning of the Destiny and the Expression will give
a more realistic picture of how a person actually is because, again, they all work together.
When the Expression and Destiny are very different, this can cause blockages and problems,
even physical, because these two very strong energies ruling the person are at odds.
As a rule, the more a certain number appears in a person's numerological chart, the stronger
it is, and the more evident its qualities (or debilities) will be. The same can be said for
the numbers of a full name: the more they appear in a name, the more their energies will be
present. When a certain number appears much more than the rest, it is called the Intensity
Number and it will shape the person's behavior and bits of his or her personality. This excess
can either be helpful, if it brings energies lacking elsewhere, or detrimental, overloading
the life with too much of it. Everything should be taken into account. Also of great
importance is the planes of the numbers given in the last post, because their emphasis within
a name will determine the temperament. E.g.: expression number 7 is very reserved, but with a
lot of 3's will certainly want to show its face once in a while and have some fun, 3 gives
feeling and excitement, which 7 lacks. Even expression 8, serious and cold, will have some
feeling and warmth with 3's behind it. With 2's may be very sensitive despite the cold demeanor.
When a number is completely lacking in a name and/or other attributes, it's called Missing
Number and the person will either be oblivious to its existence and vibration, forsaking
anything related to it, or will feel it as something to conquer, though that's usually
difficult and requires constant work. Missing numbers may also be something sought in others,
rather than the self, to compensate for its lack. The approach to challenges such as
this will depend on the other numbers and whether they want to fight for it or to just adapt
to the circumstances.
Following the example of Nietzsche's Destiny number, his number 1 Expression is surely very
apparent in his chart, as well as his works and his life as a whole. Being so different from
the energies of the Destiny (what we see in his chart is Pluto and Uranus in Aries exactly
opposite his Sun and Mercury, respectively, in Libra), this may very well have caused some of
his health problems, but also gave him the energy needed to achieve so much in so little time.
He was a professor at age 24, and definitely a genius, a pioneer at his time. Without number 1
and his Personal number 8, his works would probably not have had the same impact and repercussion.
His ideas and philosophy were very strong, innovative and revolutionary, not to mention the
fact that he coined numerous original statements reused by many after him.
The Soul and Image Numbers
Last but not least, these two divisions of the Expression number provide the last two pieces
of the core personality. The Soul Number (also known as Soul Urge or Motivation Number)
represents something that's deeply desired, something one wants to accomplish within life and
will be sought at all times, relates to the Midheaven. The Image Number is directly related to
the Ascendant, but also the Midheaven and represents first impressions and how other people
view and feel about the person, often describes the physical appearance. It can also represent
what the person wants to look like, how he or she wants to be seen by the world, even if
that's not his or her true self - the social mask, the persona.
Identity crises often arise from differences between the Expression, Soul and Image numbers.
People often neglect one or another and end up unhappy with their lives because they're not
being themselves. Integrating and knowing them all is the key to real self-knowledge and inner
peace. Combined, they can show vocations, what the person wants to do or be the most and where
the talents lie.
The Soul Number is given by adding the values of all the vowels of the full name. In
Nietzsche's full name, the Soul number is 56/11(2).
The Image Number is given by adding the values of all the consonants of the full name.
Nietzsche's Image number is 89/17/8.
As such:
Expression Number = Soul Number + Image Number
Soul Number 1 - Independence and freedom are most important. Can't stand being held by other
people, or even being aided. Soul 1 people want to make their own path and make a name for
themselves, and often have more than enough motivation to do so.
Image Number 1 - Wants to be seen as very direct, straightforward, self-assertive, confident,
a pioneer, the first to do anything. Possible agressive exterior.
Soul Number 2 - Desire to be loved, to have others by the side, wants peace, harmony, to
support and be supported. Because of that, may develop diplomatic skills, negotiation and
compromise. Doesn't do well with competition and absolutely hates agression.
Image Number 2 - Looks fragile, sensitive, feminine, calm and collected. May be very shy and
introverted. Wants to be seen as someone who keeps the peace and harmony at all times.
Soul Number 3 - Desires exposure, attention, to be seen, heard and known. Desires to have
expression/speech skills, to know how to cause an impression. Deep appreciation for the arts
and especially the artists.
Image Number 3 - Talkative, friendly, upbeat, energetic, loud, demonstrative, likes to show
off. May be popular, attractive, always up to date with everything, always present at all
social gatherings.
Soul Number 4 - Desire for stability, order, security, especially material/financial. A knack
for dealing with money. May have had problems with money and now feels the need to accumulate
more and more. Needs routine and systems to feel safe, hates complications and futility.
Image Number 4 - Reliable, sober, cares a lot about the social norm and wants to fit. May
appear as too conservative, too inflexible, maybe even uninteresting, dull, too common. Wants
to be seen as competent, a hardworker.
Soul Number 5 - Freedom! Wants variety, excitement, adventure, new and interesting things.
Desires to be flexible, to develop the intellect and as many talents as possible, to be quick
and clever. Will not stand being pinned down by routine and obligations of any kind.
Image Number 5 - Changeable, not one image, but many. May change on-the-go to fit various
environments and different kinds of people. Talent with communication, likes to show
intelligence and to be known as versatile and witty.
Soul Number 6 - Desires family, a home, comfort and warmth. Deeply caring towards others,
wants to protect themselves and those they feel need protection, especially the loved ones.
Wants balance, harmony and beauty, may have talents with aesthetics, arts and healing.
Image Number 6 - Nice, pleasant, conventional, helpful, patient, makes everyone feel at home.
May have a motherly/fatherly air, likes to give advice freely and sometimes may be incovenient
because of that. Wants to be seen as good and traditional.
Soul Number 7 - Desires refinement, improvement in all respects, especially of the self.
Doesn't do well with social contacts, preferring to be alone most of the time. Wants to find
out about what is not known, investigate, ponder, improve, perfect. Will always seek spiritual
or scientific knowledge, and thus has academic talents.
Image Number 7 - Detached, distant, wants to be seen as someone unreacheable, special,
sophisticated, different, mysterious. Likes to be known as someone who knows things most
people don't and usually won't part with such knowledge. An air of nobility and aristocracy.
Alternatively, can be downright weird and awkward, rude, excentric. May have androgynous
features.
Soul Number 8 - Wants power, wealth, status, influence. Wants to feel and have as much as
possible, be on the edge all the times. Much ambition and willpower to act and bring desires
to reality. Doesn't do well at all being in inferior positions, and will always be in
power/authority struggles. May be obsessive and overly demanding of the self and others.
Destructive tendencies are possible.
Image Number 8 - Serious, intense presence. Analytical, controlled, deals with all sorts of
situations without hesitation. Wants to be seen as prestigious, powerful, a winner, inspire
confidence and respect, even fear. Can be very well-mannered, but in a clinical, cold way. Of
all the numbers, this is the one that most often hides a sensitive and insecure nature.
Soul Number 9 - A strong desire for transcedence, perfection. Wants to see many different
things and experience as much as possible. A very deep the need for a calling, a vocation, an
ideal, something or someone to serve or a religion from which it will form its vision of the
world. Very sensitive and easily hurt by the ugliness of the world. Wants to illuminate and
save others, possibly the entire world.
Image Number 9 - Very open and sympathetic, kind with everyone, subtle, knows how to influence
people. May be careless or seem confused, vague. Often wants to be seen as a hero, a savior
and may act as such, with much drama. Expressive, may have talent with the arts, publishing,
spreading ideas.
Mr. Nietzsche's Image and Soul Numbers further corroborate the themes of the chart: a strong
8 Image with Scorpio rising, ruler Pluto in Aries opposing the Sun - certainly a very strong
and intense presence. With the Moon in the first house and Mars in Virgo conjunct the MC, we
have a clear picture of his Soul Number. He was very sensitive, but driven to accomplish what
he wanted, as his Soul worked together with his Destiny. His work was definitely extremely
important to him, and he believed entirely in its power. The service he provided to the world
was something he identified himself deeply with: first house Node, conjunct chart co-ruler
Moon. Also, second chart co-ruler Mars conjunct the Midheaven.
Again, these descriptions are very basic and shouldn't be taken entirely by themselves.
An interesting and important fact about the numbers of the name is that they can be used as
one sees fit: some people use only one name, some people use some of their names but leave one
or two away when signing documents or presenting him/herself, and this all counts to
numerology. The name's energies are summoned when used, and only through constant use they
become something solid. If a person has 3 names and leaves one away, that one may become a
reserve of energy, something that belongs to him/her but is only called when necessary.
Learning to summon one's own energies can help with business, money, work, school, social
contacts, all kinds of things.
If someone creates a pseudonym to use in many different places, to write a book for example,
this will become part of their life too. This pseudonym will have an Expression, a Soul and
Image. The energies will be raised through constant use and can either help or hinder progress
in whatever they're used with. If the energies are compatible with the original name, all the
better, but if not, this can become a source which can be used when necessary in specific
situations. The name is a powerful magickal tool.
