The Destiny Number in a numerology chart is calculated using a person’s full birth name. This is the full name that appears on your birth certificate, unless you were adopted shortly after birth and your name was changed. In that case, the new name can be used. Write the full name with space below the letters to write the number that corresponds to each one. A, J and S are represented by number 1. B, K and T are represented by number 2. C, L and U are number 3. D, M and V are number 4. E, N and W are 5. F, O, and X are 6. G, P, and Y are 7. H, Q, and Z are 8. I and R are 9.

To calculate the Destiny Number, add the numbers from each part of the name, reduce the total if it is not between 1 and 9 (or 11 or 22, the master numbers). Then add the reduced results of each part of the name and reduce again if necessary. For the name Jane Doe Smith, it would start with Jane, which would be 1 + 1 + 5 + 5 or 12, which reduces to 3. Doe would be 4 + 6 + 5 or 15, which reduces to 6. Smith would be 1 + 4 + 9 + 2 + 8 or 24, which reduces to 6. Add them and 3 + 6 + 6 or 15, which reduces to 6. Jane Doe Smith’s destiny number would be 6.

For those with a Destiny Number 1, your life will be marked by a path towards independence and leadership. Here is the ability to be an initiator with a unique and creative approach to problems. But there’s a chance they aren’t big on the small details, since so much of their attention is on the big picture. Nonetheless, they will be able to achieve a great deal of commercial success, often blazing a trail never seen or thought of before. There is a high probability that you run your own business or are a high-level manager of someone else’s business. Financial success is also on this path.

In order for all the pieces to fit into place in this puzzle, the person will need to keep their mind sharp and develop their skills as they go. His ambition and determination are likely to only increase with age. Confident and independent, they will have the courage and willingness to stand aside and see your ideas. The routine will bore them and the ruts are a great fear. Being on the cutting edge is so important that they often take off earlier than necessary and make reckless mistakes to stay ahead of the pack (or at least not behind it). Negative aspects of this Destiny Number in numerology can include an overinflated ego, aggressiveness, dominance, and ruthless ambition.
