In Numerology, five core numbers form the foundation, or building blocks, of who you are. They are your: Life Path Number, Expression Number, Personality Number, Heart's Desire Number, and Birth Day Number. Each of these numbers has a precise and deep-rooted impact on your life and who you are and is calculated using your birth name and your birth date.

1. Life Path Number

Your Life Path Number is the blueprint for your path in this life, and as such, is the most important number for you. It has a significant influence on the challenges and opportunities faced, as well as on your character in general and the courses of action you choose in this life. It is calculated using the numbers in your full date of birth and can never change.

2. Expression Number

Your natural strength and weaknesses are highlighted and brought forth by your Expression Number, teaching you how you have been equipped to handle your challenges faced in this life. It aims to achieve the goals in your life and as such is often referred to as the Destiny Number. It is the foundation from which your Life Path number can thrive, and is calculated using the corresponding letters of our full name given at birth.

3. Personality Number

Your Personality Number represents the parts of yourself that you are most willing to reveal, and is the first impression that people get of you. I therefore also determines how much of yourself, and to whom you choose to show. Your personality number acts as your buffer to people and situations that would either be dealt with or better left alone. The personality number is calculated using only the consonants in a person's full name.

4. Heart’s Desire Number

The reasons behind your actions and your true desires regarding your love and your life is revealed through your Heart's Desire Number. It is the driving reason why we take the steps we do to achieve particular outcomes throughout all the aspects of our lives. It is the proverbial ‘burning desire' within us all. The Heart's Desire Number is determined from the vowels in your name, shedding light on your inner-most desires and inner workings.

5. Birth Date Number

The date on which you were born unveils a particular talent that you have been blessed with, and that will eventually find its way into your Life Path. Your birth date number puts a timestamp on your arrival here, and although it is the most insignificant of the Core Numbers, it has ultimately impacted your life in a unique and impactful way.

So, what can numerology do for you? It is the key to a better understanding of ourselves and what our place is in this life. Numerology is an invaluable tool that can be used for guidance and direction, as well as gain more profound knowledge and understanding of ourselves.
