In numerology, your Expression Number (also known as the Destiny Number) reveals key aspects of your personality, strengths, and potential life path. It is derived from the full name you were given at birth, with each letter assigned a numerical value and then summed to a single-digit or master number (11, 22, or 33).
What Your Expression Number Says About You
Each number carries unique traits that influence your talents, challenges, and how you interact with the world:
- 1 – Natural leader, independent, ambitious
- 2 – Diplomatic, cooperative, intuitive
- 3 – Creative, expressive, social
- 4 – Practical, disciplined, hardworking
- 5 – Adventurous, adaptable, free-spirited
- 6 – Nurturing, responsible, family-oriented

How It Influences Your Life Path
Your Expression Number guides the way you approach goals, relationships, and challenges. A 4, for example, thrives in structured environments, while a 5 seeks freedom and variety. Master Numbers (11, 22, 33) indicate higher spiritual potential and greater responsibilities in life.
By understanding your Expression Number, you can align with your natural strengths, make better decisions, and create a fulfilling life path that resonates with your true self.
