Since the beginning of time, people have been trying to figure out the meaning of life. Why are we here? What is our purpose in this world? Is there a mission that should be accomplished in a lifetime?
Many people live a lifetime never finding the answers to these questions. They search for spiritual meaning through religion, meditation, astrology, philosophy, and numerology, to name a few. The latest concept in determining life’s mission is the Destiny Number.
The Destiny Number is calculated by using all the letters in the full name you were given at birth. The number that is calculated describes your destiny; the purpose of your life and the missions you must complete in your life. The name you were given by your parents includes all the opportunities available to you during your lifetime. The letters in your name hold the key to your destiny.
Everyone wants to be aware of what their roll in life involves. Many people believe that their Destiny Number is the way to live a fulfilled life, full of purpose and hope. Once the number is found, the road toward the goals set by the number is not always an easy one. The Destiny Number is what people must do with their lives, not what they choose to do. There is a mission given by the Destiny Number to each person to complete.
In order to find your Destiny Number, there is a very simple mathematical formula to follow. Add up the numbers assigned to each letter of your full birth name. The chart below has the numerical value for each letter.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
A B C D E F G H I
J K L M N O P Q R
S T U V W X Y Z
As an example, let’s take Hillary Rodham Clinton’s birth name, Hillary Diane Rodham and determine her Destiny Number. Take the first name: Hillary and add up the numbers assigned to each letter.
H I L L A R Y
8 + 9 + 3 + 3 + 1 + 9 + 7 = 40
The two numerals in the total number, 40 are then added together: 4 + 0 = 4
D I A N E
4 + 9 + 1+ 5 + 5 = 24
Add the two numerals together: 2 + 4 = 6
R O D H A M
9 + 6 + 4 + 8 + 1 + 4 = 32
Add the two numerals: 3 + 2 = 5
The next step is to take the three calculated numbers and add them together.
Hillary + Diane + Rodham
4 + 6 + 5 = 15 (known as the master number)
The master number is then added: 1 + 5 = 6
Hillary’s Destiny Number is 15/6
Every number has certain qualities and goals assigned to it.
