Numerology! Core Numbers! Todays Lesson!

Today we are going to introduce you to
the "core" of your Numerology chart ... your four most
important numbers, that really help to define you as a person.
These numbers are your Life Path Number, your Expression
Number, your Soul Urge Number and your Destiny Number.
Whether you are punching your birthday and full name
into a computer program or asking a numerologist to do
your calculations in person, almost every numerology
report contains these four elements:
* The Life Path Number that is based on your BIRTHDATE
* The Expression Number (sometimes referred to as the
Personality Number, Potential Number and Destiny number)
that is based on ALL THE LETTERS OF YOUR FULL NAME
GIVEN AT BIRTH.
* The Soul Urge Number (sometimes also called the Soul,
Soul Path or Heart's Desire number) that is based on
a reduction of the VOWELS in your full birth name.
* The Destiny Number (sometimes also described as the
Inner Dreams, Inner You or Karmic Number) that is based
on a reduction of the CONSONANTS in your full birth name.
First of all lets look at the divination of the LIFE PATH
number. The Life Path Number is calculated from assigning a
numeric value (which don't worry! we will provide for you
next week) to your birthday (which must be written out in
long form as in 05/25/1959 as opposed to 05/25/59.)
The Life Path Number is perhaps the most commonly requested
reading of all of the numerology readings as it is the
easiest and fastest to do. It describes your journey through
life and what you can best hope to accomplish.
However simply looking just at your Life path number does not
constitute what I would call a full reading. Even a reading
that consists of just the four core elements is not a complete
analysis as it only describes the most likely projected path
when you are born. It does not take into account special
challenges or potential moments in time when you can use your
free will in order to change what would otherwise be your fate.
The Life Path Number is the sum of your entire birthday
including the year. This number represents whom you were
when you came into this world and the extent of your
potential and limitations physically, psychologically,
spiritually and emotionally.
For instance a number Three may be born into this world
with enormous talents and charisma but according to
traditional numerology may not be able to sustain a
relationship one on one for long because they are so busy
following the calling of a successful career.
However, a number three who also has a Soul Urge Number
of two (which is about finding true love) could meet a
soul mate because they learn to transcend their personal
fears and flaws. This is why it is important to look at
all four of the CORE calculations before you assess a
person's numerology chart.
The next core number you will be learning how to calculate
in this course is your EXPRESSION number. This number is
derived from all of the numbers in your full birth name.
Not your married or pen name. It must be the name you were
born with including all of your middle names.
The Expression Number is the number that describes all of
the talents and personal potential that you will have at
your disposal during this lifetime. This is the number that
describes the ideal version of you that can develop if you
make the right choices in life.
Some people are often quite daunted when they first 
calculate their Expression number as usually the 
interpretation describes ideals that may seem impossible
to attain. Either that or they feel disappointed in
themselves because the interpretation somehow "rings
a bell" and they realize that they have achieved their
potential so far in this lifetime.
One of the values of performing the Expression Number
calculation is that it can be a wake up call that shows
you just how far you have strayed from your heart's desires.
In essence, it can help you remember what it was you always
wanted to be when you were a little girl or boy. For instance,
a stockbroker, with a Life Path number of materialistic eight
might have an Expression number of nine, which means despite
accumulated wealth his or her real desire might be to adopt
children or be a philanthropist.
Without the fulfillment of the ideals of their Expression
number in their lives people often feel empty or depressed
no matter how successful they are.
Although you may find it difficult to live up to the
expectations of your Expression number, the reading is
almost always a call to action that asks you to live
in the here and now and fulfill your original ambitions.
Your SOUL URGE number is calculated from the VOWELS in your
full birth name. The unique interpretation that results
from this number can almost be described as the ethical
measure of who you really are on this earth. It defines
what or whom you value most and describes "what makes you
bloom and what makes you wilt."
Your Soul Urge Number is a very spiritual reading and the
value of it's calculation is that the resulting interpretation
often points you in the direction of where you can find real
fulfillment in life. By this I mean the "food for your soul"
that can help you thrive, rather than just survive from day
to day.
The Soul Urge number is often revelatory because it also
describes your inner desires as opposed to the limitations
of your birth as imposed by the Life Path Number or your
higher calling as described by the Expression Number.
For instance, a person with a spiritually oriented number
9 Life Path Number could feel rather lonely if they have
devoted their life to chastity and the church if their
Soul Urge Number is actually a number two which is about
finding a soul mate.
As you can see, as we go on describing the function of
the four core numbers that the readings can be as
contradictory and complex as our personalities.
The fourth core number, the KARMIC number is arrived at
through the reduction of the consonants in your name.
This is the number that describes your secret fears,
hopes and fantasies. It also represents the mysteries
of the unknown. Some numerologists ascribe this number
as possessing the traits of a person that you were in
another life. At any rate, it describes the individual
that you are on a subconscious level.
The Karmic number also possesses the odd quality of
describing how others might see you as a first impression.
It is considered to be a description of your astral imprint
and what effect it has on other people and situations.
For instance, a nurturing Life Path number six might
strike others as a busybody or interfering character
if his or her Karmic number is number one which is a
number about vainglorious achievement. The Life Path
number six might be truly oblivious to other's perception
that he or she is taking others to seem "holier than thou"
thanks to the distortion provided by the Karmic Number Three.
If anything, the Karmic Number can explain why sometimes you
feel like you are "damned if you do and damned if you don't"
and why sometimes you may have strange dreams or feel
compelled by strange or irrational urges that even to yourself
seem "out of character."
