This number is calculated using your full birth name, written exactly as it appears on your birth certificate.
Each letter in your name carries a unique vibration. When these vibrations are added together, they reveal your soul’s natural abilities, life-purpose tools, and the path you are designed to express in this life.

5 = E, N, W
6 = F, O, X

2. Convert each letter to its number using the chart above.
3. Add the numbers for each name separately.
Example: FIRST + MIDDLE + LAST
4. Reduce each total to a single digit (11, 22, and 33 are kept as Master Numbers).
5. Add all the final numbers together.
Reduce again if needed—unless it becomes 11, 22, or 33.
Example
