Numerology Calculator

Which three numbers does this page return?

Life Path from the date of birth, Expression from every letter of the name, and Soul Urge from the vowels only. It does not return a Personality, Maturity, Birth or Balance number; the other calculators on this site, and the Pythagorean numerology calculator, cover those.

How is the Life Path worked out?

The day, month and year are reduced separately, the three results are added, and that sum is reduced again. For 15 June 1990 that is 6 + 6 + 1 = 13, which gives 4. Results of 11, 22 and 33 are kept when they appear. Another website that adds every digit of the date at once can give a different answer for some dates.

Which letter table does it use, and what about Y?

The Pythagorean table, in which A to I are 1 to 9, J to R are 1 to 9, and S to Z are 1 to 8. For the Soul Urge only A, E, I, O and U count as vowels, so Y never counts there. In the Expression number, Y is simply worth 7.

Why does the page show blank labels between the numbers?

The short line after each of the first two numbers is the archetype for that result, for example The Builder after Life Path 4. It is shown on a row without its own heading. The third number, Soul Urge, has no archetype line.

What does it do with accents, hyphens or several middle names?

Only plain A–Z letters count, and spaces, hyphens and apostrophes are ignored. An accented letter is skipped, not converted. Any number of middle names is allowed, since all letters go into one sum.

What if a name has no vowels?

The Expression number still appears, and the Soul Urge row reads that no A, E, I, O or U was found. This can happen with a short name such as Lynn, where the only vowel-like letter is Y.

Are the results meant to be predictions?

No. Numerology is a traditional, belief-based practice that has not been scientifically validated. The tool converts a date and a name into numbers and shows the traditional text for them; it does not predict events or describe facts about you.
