Calculating Your Expression

The Expression is the total of all the letters of the birth name.
-It’s an indication of the destiny or potential of a person, place or thing.
-It reveals your goals in life and your history at the time of your birth. This includes all the evolutionary steps that took place in order that your consciousness could arrive in the form of you.
-The Expression shows your talents, your characteristics, and where more focus is needed to reach your potential.
-Your Expression is how you express yourself and to some degree, why.
-Understand your expression to eliminate your shortcomings, utilize your strengths and to bring balance your life.

Most people also have Minor Expressions. These are the casual names they use socially and any name changes they adopt later in life.The minor expressions modify, support and sometimes accentuate the expression of the original birth name. The original birth name is always the underlying vibration.

If the name on the birth certificate is spelled differently than the spelling used by the parents, it’s usually the parents spelling that represents the actual Expression. However, if the person always uses a different spelling, it will most likely greatly modify the original vibration. A misspelling on a birth certificate does not count, unless it is then used by everyone from birth on.

How to find your Expression:

  • Write out your full name and write the numerological equivalents under each letter of your name.
  • Add the numbers of each name, reducing the sum to a single digit, unless the sum is an 11 or 22, leave these numbers as they are. 11 and 22 are called master numbers.
  • Then, add together the sums of each individual name. Reduce the answer to a single digit, unless the number is an 11 or 22. Leave 11 and 22 as they are.
  • Example:

Janet Aria Simpson
J a n e t A r i a S i m p s o n
1+1+5+5+2 + 1+9+9+1 + 1+9+4+7+1+6+5 =
14 + 20 + 33 =
5 + 2 + 6 =13/4 (1+3=4)
The Expression (vibration of the name) is 4

Lank Peterson
l a n k + Peterson
3+1+5+2 + 7+5+2+5+9+1+6+5 =
11 + 40 =
11 (don’t reduce + 4 (4+0=4) = 15 (add the 1+5 to get a single digit)
The Expression (vibration of the name) is = 6
