How to Find a Hidden Passion Number

A hidden passion number of six means you love community and family

Numerology is the practice of discovering symbolism and meaning in numbers. According to Astrology.com, numerology has been around for thousands of years. Numerologists believe that studying the numbers in your name can reveal personality traits that you may not have realized yet. According to "Numerology: Key to Your Inner Self," by Hans Decoz, each letter of the alphabet has a single digit assigned to it. A hidden passion number is based on the number that shows up most often in your name. This number reveals a secret strength and talent that could potentially change your life.

Things You'll Need

• Pen or pencil
• Piece of paper

Instructions

Calculating Your Hidden Passion Number

1. Write your name on a sheet of paper--your entire name as it appears on your official birth certificate, without including nicknames or alternate spellings. Include your middle name(s) as well.

2. 

   For instance, if your first name is Rose, the numbers would be 9 6 1 5.

   Assign a single digit to each individual letter of your name, according to the following formula: for each A, J or S, assign the number one. For each B, K or T, assign the number two. For each C, L or U, assign the number three. For each D, M or V, assign the number four. For each E, N or W, assign the number five. For each F, O or X, assign the number six. For each G, P or Y, assign the number seven. For each H, Q or Z, assign the number eight. For each I or R, assign the number nine.

3. Look at the resulting list of individual numbers (do not add them together at any point) and count how many times each individual number shows up. Is there one number that shows up more than the others? If so, this is your hidden passion number.

4. Interpret the meaning of this number. Briefly, the number one shows a confident leadership ambition. The number two shows a peaceful, diplomatic spirit. The number three shows a sparkling social nature. The number four shows a disciplined drive for organization. The number five shows a spontaneous, adaptable spirit. The number six shows a community-oriented idealist. The number seven shows a sharp, intellectual mind. The number eight shows a keen business sense. The number nine shows a talent for creative genius. You can find more in-depth descriptions of these qualities in the references.
