What is Your Destiny Number and What Does That Number Mean?

Destiny Number

In numerology, the destiny number is one of the most influential numbers. It describes the actions that you must take in your life to meet your full potential.

Where your life path number describes what skills you come into this world with, the destiny number shows what you need to become in this life.

Another way of looking at it is that it shows you the opportunities that you have at your disposal in this lifetime. These opportunities may not come easy, but they are available to you, and you should strive to achieve them.

By understanding your destiny number, you’ll be able to set better goals for yourself as you go through life.

How to Reduce Your Name to a Single Number

Use this name numerology chart below to determine the numbers that correspond to the letters of your name.

Determining Your Destiny Number

Your destiny number is the sum of your entire name as it appears on your birth certificate.

Reduce each name to a single number, then reduce the sum of those numbers to a single digit. As always, we leave the master numbers 11 and 22 whole.

As an example: Johnathan David Pierce would reduce to a 7

Johnathan = 1 + 6 + 8 + 5 + 1 + 2 + 8 + 1 + 5 = 37 and 3 + 7 = 10 and 1 + 0 = 1

David = 4 + 1 + 4 + 9 + 4 = 22

Pierce = 7 + 9 + 5 + 9 + 3 + 5 = 38 and 3 + 8 = 11

Destiny Number = 1 + 22 + 11 = 34 and 3 + 4 = 7
