Do Your Own Simple Numerology Chart

The Numerology Reports that are offered for sale here are very detailed and include more aspects than are listed here. A full profile report is 20+ pages. What I am showing you here is *not* the same. As well as fewer aspects of your number chart being considered the definitions of the numbers are the general, short and sweet version. 

The basics of numerology are quite simple. Yes, there is some addition involved but it's very basic adding and a little subtracting. For this exercise the different ways a birth date can be added is not important, so I am going to proceed with the simplest way.

First thing to note when you are adding a birth date up is that the month has to be converted to it's numerical value (Jan=1, Feb=2, Mar=3, etc.). Using the birth date October 15, 1977...

10 15 1977 - first, simply add all the numbers of the birth date: 

1+0+1+5+1+9+7+7=31 - as this is a double digit, you will add them:

3+1=4

October 16, 1977 reduces to the single digit 4.


The next bit of information you need to calculate your numbers are the numerical value of the letters and they are as follows:

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

Using my name as an example you would do the following:

L	A	U	R	A
3	1	3	9	1		17/8

Now you have all the information you need to calculate your own numbers! Below gives a list of the main numbers revealed in a numerology chart, how to calculate them, and what area of your life they pertain to. This is all the information you require for a basic Numerology Chart.


Life Path Number: This is the first number any numerologist looks at and is the main number of your chart. The Life Path represents what you are here to learn. Depending on your age at the time of doing this chart you may be well into your lessons and what you're hear to learn is now well into development and the lessons then become traits you have. To calculate your Life Path add up the numbers of your birth date (as shown in the example of how to do the adding).

Life Path 1: You are here to learn about being independence. Being able to stand on your own is important in your life.
Life Path 2: You are here to learn about being cooperative and support to others. Relationships and/or partnerships are important in your life. 
Life Path 3: You are here to learn to express yourself and your creativity. Communication is important in your life.
Life Path 4: You are here to learn practicality and self-discipline. Building stability in your life now for the future is important in your life.
Life Path 5: You are here to learn versatility and freedom. Creating and experiencing change is important in your life.
Life Path 6: You are here to learn community and family responsibility. Nurturing others is important in your life.
Life Path 7: You are here to study, research and learn. Solving life's mysteries is important in your life.
Life Path 8: You are here to learn the balance required between the material and the non-material. Success is important in your life.
Life Path 9: You are here to learn compassion. Making the world a better place is important in your life. 


Expression Number: This is the number determined by adding up the letters of your name and it describes your approach in life. You are advised to use your full name at birth (typically what is on your birth certificate). If you have a different name now (either through marriage or adoption or a name change for any reason) you may want to do two charts, one for each name. You will likely recognize yourself in both sets of numbers. If, for any reason you don't know your name at birth (closed adoption records, for example) you will have to use just the name you have now. 

Expression 1: You have an independent approach to life.
Expression 2: You have a cooperative approach to life.
Expression 3: You have an expressive and creative approach to life.
Expression 4: You have a practical approach to life.
Expression 5: You have a versatile approach to life.
Expression 6: You have a nurturing approach to life.
Expression 7: You have a mindful approach to life.
Expression 8: You have a productive approach to life.
Expression 9: You have a compassionate approach to life.


Heart's Desire Number: This number is determined by the vowels of your name and it describes what you want in life, that which motivates you. We can't talk about the vowels without discussing the letter Y. Sometimes it's a consonant, sometimes it's a vowel. For example, with the name Yvette Young the Y in Yvette is a vowel but the Y in Young is a consonants. Basically, if it sounds like a vowel it is a vowel, otherwise it is a consonant. The silent Y is also a consonant. For example consider the names Cary and Carey. In the case of Cary the Y is a vowel. In the case of Carey the Y is a consonant that simply tells us how to pronounce the proceeding E.

Heart's Desire 1: You want your independence.
Heart's Desire 2: You want interactions with others, relationships/partnerships. 
Heart's Desire 3: You want to express yourself and creativity.
Heart's Desire 4: You want stability.

Heart's Desire 8: You want financial/material success.
Heart's Desire 9: You want to make the world a better place for all.

Personality Number: This number is determined by adding the consonants of your name and it describes how you show yourself to the world. It's like the vowels are your inner self, and the consonants your outer self.

Personality 2: You show yourself as great support to others.
Personality 3: You show yourself as communicative and optimistic.

Maturity Number: This number is determined by adding your Life Path Number and your Expression Number and reducing that total to a single digit. This number takes affect around mid-life. Your Life Path is what you're learning, your Expression is just your way of dealing with those lessons. The Maturity number is the culmination of those two numbers.
