What’s in a Name?
In numerology, it is believed that your name is not an accident. Rather, your name is a vibrational manifestation of your presence and your personal expression.
Your Expression Number is determined by the name you were given at birth. If you were adopted, or you have legally changed your name through marriage or for other reasons, that new name is another layer to who you are, but your birth name is the foundation.
Your Expression Number identifies your talents and abilities. It tells you where you excel and where you might still have some work to do in this lifetime, and it’s one of the main numbers a numerologist would look at when doing a basic numerology chart.
The Numerical Value of Letters
This alpha-numerical key that will help you decipher your name’s code:
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 |
| A | B | C | D | E | F | G | H | I |
| J | K | L | M | N | O | P | Q | R |
| S | T | U | V | W | X | Y | Z | |
Finding Your Expression Number
Take your first, middle and last names and write them on individual lines on a page. Next, write the number that corresponds to each letter underneath using the key above.
Add each line—first separately, as in first name, and then middle name, and then last name. Reduce each individual number down to a single digit (see the examples below) unless it is a Master Number (11, 22 or 33). Once you have a number for each name, add them up (reducing the total number to a single digit)—with the exception of the Master Numbers. When figuring out your Expression Number, you would not reduce any Master Numbers to a single number.
Example No. 1, First Name – Michaela Lee Smith
| M | I | C | H | A | E | L | A | |
| 4 | 9 | 3 | 8 | 1 | 5 | 3 | 1 | = 34 reduce to 3+4= 7 |
| L | E | E | | | | | | |
| 3 | 5 | 5 | | | | | | = 13 reduce to 1 + 3 = 4 |
| S | M | I | T | H | | | | |
| 1 | 4 | 9 | 2 | 8 | | | | = 24 reduce to 2+4= 6 |
Now add 7 + 4 + 6 = 17, reduce to 1+7 = 8
Michaela Lee Smith’s Expression Number is 8.
Once you’ve found your Expression Number, read the brief explanation below highlighting the positive side of your Expression Number’s meaning:
Expression Number 1:
You are independent, an innovative thinker and a pioneer. This is the number of self-made millionaires, political and world leaders and masters of inventors.

Thank you to all that responded – Yes, Anna, in my studies I’ve come to notice that too – looking at my own astrology – numerology and other disciplines to see the connections – it’s very revealing.
to Eric Simiyu TEMBA – there is no “10” in numerology – if you’re a 10 then you are a #1 – it’s the lowest single digit number (besides the master numbers) – read #1 and see if it works for you –
Thanks everyone – I wish I could answer you all individually – I say, if you have answers you’re looking for, it’s definitely worth the time to invest in a professional reading … it will be so worth it and you’ll be glad you did it.

Hello to All:
Quinn, thank you for your metta waves you know I love a good vibe feeling. Your support is awesome and appreciated – and I can’t wait to the weekend forecast.
Milka: You can easily find your expression number by using the key above but you need to take into account your middle name (if you have one) and your last name. Why not get a full numerology reading done, then all of your questions will be answered.
To Marie and Marie (two people or one) I don’t know your lucky lottery numbers, but I will say that the luckiest day of the year was on June 19 when Jupiter and the Sun joined forces … the energy may still be strong, if you want to run to the lottery store and take your chances. If you feel it, it’s worth it. Good luck to you (both?)
