In Western numerology, your Destiny Number (aka Expression Number) is the second-most-significant number in your numerology chart. Calculated from your original birth certificate name, your Destiny Number reveals your mission in this life and what you’re destined to accomplish in order to reach your full potential. Along with your Life Path Number (calculated from your date of birth), your Destiny Number is the number to take into consideration when making career choices.
HOW TO CALCULATE YOUR DESTINY NUMBER
Step 1: Using the letter-and-numbers chart above match the relevant numbers to the letters in your full, original birth certificate name (regardless of whether you currently use that name or not). Even if you were adopted and have since changed your name through marriage or other means, this is the name to use to calculate your Destiny Number.
Step 2: Add the numbers across then add any double-digit numbers together to get a single-digit Destiny Number — unless they total 11 or 22 which then becomes an 11/2 or 22/4 Destiny Number.
