Things You'll Need:
- Paper and pen
- Name numerology chart
- Online or print reference material
-
Step 1
Understand the basics of name numerology. You will use a chart to designate each letter of your name with a "core," or single-digit, number. These charts can be found online or in books and may vary from those in this article (see Resources below).
-
Step 2
Know the fundamental formula of numerology. When you wish to determine a personal number, you will first add designated numbers and digits together. Then you will reduce them to "core" numbers between 1 and 9 (except for 11 and 22, which are "master" numbers).
-
Step 3
Practice on this example. Suppose your name is Mary, and the chart has decoded the letters as: 4, 1, 9 and 7. To get your name number (sometimes called your destiny or energetic number), add the digits together: 4+1+9+7=21.
-
Step 4
Reduce the new, two-digit number to a core number by adding the digits together: 2+1=3. In this example, 3 is the name numerology number.
-
Step 5
Determine the numerology of your full name or signature name by consulting a solid reference, such as Astrology-Numerology.com, for an easy-to-use chart (see Resources below). Then have fun learning about what those numbers mean to your future.
