The Life Path Number is one of the most significant numbers in numerology. It is derived from the sum of your birth date and represents your core personality, life purpose, and the lessons you are meant to learn in this lifetime. The Life Path Number reveals your strengths, weaknesses, and your innate talents.

1. Convert the birth date into its numerical equivalent (e.g., March 14, 1879 = 03/14/1879).
2. Add all the digits together: 0 + 3 + 1 + 4 + 1 + 8 + 7 + 9 = 33.
3. Reduce the sum to a single digit (unless it’s a Master Number like 11, 22, or 33).
4. Life Path Number = 33.

The Expression Number, also known as the Destiny Number, represents your natural talents and abilities, and the potential you are meant to fulfill in life.

1. Assign each letter in the full birth name a numerical value according to its position in the alphabet (A=1, B=2, ..., Z=8).
2. Add the values of all the letters together.
3. Reduce the sum to a single digit or Master Number.
4. Example: "Albert Einstein" → A(1) + L(3) + B(2) + E(5) + R(9) + T(2) + E(5) + I(9) + N(5) + S(1) + T(2) + E(5) + I(9) + N(5) = 63 → 6 + 3 = 9.
5. Expression Number = 9.

The Soul Urge Number, also known as the Heart's Desire Number, represents the inner self and what one truly wants in life. It is calculated using the vowels in the full birth name.

1. Assign numerical values to all vowels in the full name using the same values as the Expression Number.
2. Add the values of the vowels together.
3. Reduce the sum to a single digit or Master Number.
4. Example: "Albert Einstein" → A(1) + E(5) + E(5) + I(9) + E(5) + I(9) = 34 → 3 + 4 = 7.
5. Soul Urge Number = 7.

The Personality Number, also known as Inner Dream Number, represents the outer personality, how others perceive the individual. It is calculated using the consonants in the full birth name.

1. Assign numerical values to all consonants in the full name.
2. Add the values of the consonants together.
3. Reduce the sum to a single digit or Master Number (11, 22, 33).
4. Example: "Albert Einstein" → L(3) + B(2) + R(9) + T(2) + N(5) + S(1) + T(2) + N(5) = 29 → 11.
5. Personality Number = 11.
6. Since 11 is a Master Number, it is often retained in numerological interpretations rather than further reduced.

The Maturity Number represents the potential the individual is meant to realize in their later years, often after age 30 or 35. It is derived by combining the Life Path Number and the Expression Number.

1. Add the Life Path Number and the Expression Number together.
2. Reduce the sum to a single digit or Master Number.
3. Example: Life Path Number 33 + Expression Number 9 = 42 → 4 + 2 = 6.
4. Maturity Number = 6.

The Birthday Number is a simple but significant number that indicates specific talents and abilities. It is derived directly from the day of birth.

1. Use the day of birth as the Birthday Number.
2. Reduce to a single digit or leave as is if the day is between 1-9 or a Master Number (11, 22).
3. Example: Born on the 14th → 1 + 4 = 5.
4. Birthday Number = 5.

The Balance Number provides insight into how one copes with challenges and difficulties. It is calculated from the initials of the full birth name.

1. Assign numerical values to the initials (first letter of each name) in the full birth name.
2. Add the values of the initials together.
3. Reduce the sum to a single digit or Master Number.
4. Example: "Albert Einstein" → A(1) + E(5) = 6.
5. Balance Number = 6.

Karmic Lesson Numbers indicate weaknesses or areas in life where one must grow. They are derived from the missing numbers in the full birth name (i.e., numbers that do not appear in the name’s numerology).

1. Identify which numbers (1-9) are missing in the full name when each letter is assigned a number.
2. These missing numbers are the Karmic Lesson Numbers.
3. Example: Numbers 4, 6, 7, and 8 do not appear in "Albert Einstein."
4. Karmic Lesson Numbers = [4, 6, 7, 8].

The Hidden Passion Number reveals a talent or passion that may not be immediately apparent. It is derived from the most frequently occurring number in the full birth name.

1. Count the frequency of each number in the full birth name.
2. The number with the highest frequency is the Hidden Passion Number.
3. Example: Number 5 appears most frequently in "Albert Einstein."
4. Hidden Passion Number = 5.

The Subconscious Self Number indicates how one responds to unexpected challenges and their innate defensive mechanisms. It is derived from the number of distinct numbers present in the full birth name.

1. Count how many different numbers (1-9) appear in the full birth name.
2. Example: "Albert Einstein" has 1, 4, 5, 6, 8 → 5 different numbers.
3. Subconscious Self Number = 5.
