Mastering numerology is like mastering any other skill. The more you know about the tools you are working with - the more adept you are going to be at accomplishing the craft. The core numbers that should be the essential basis of any reading are: The Life Path Number that is based on your BIRTHDATE. The Expression Number (sometimes referred to as the Personality Number, Potential Number and Destiny number) that is based on ALL THE LETTERS OF YOUR FULL NAME GIVEN AT BIRTH. The Soul Urge Number (sometimes also called the Soul, Soul Path or Heart's Desire number) that is based on a reduction of the VOWELS in your full birth name.

The numbers associated with your name reveals your development while you are working out some issues and making the most of your talents.

Your full name’s vibration is seen in the totality of your development which may include experiences, wisdom you accumulated, and talents.
