Now we get into my esoteric special interest: numerology.
Really, what you really need to calculate is your Life Path number (use your birthday, and add all the single numbers).
To do this, say we have 1/5/1998, so it'd be 1+5+1+9+9+8=33, but 3+3=6. However, you'll see you, if you have this birth date exactly, have a master number of 33, but I won't get into that right now, as that's off this topic.
Next, you need to calculate what's called an expression number, or a destiny number (same thing).
Write down your full birth name, and let these letters correspond to a number, 1-9:
Write this out, and then add in the numbers above or below a letter. Afterwords, add those together. For each of your names (given, middle, surname), calculate them separately, and then add the solutions to those together. If there are double digits, add those together to get your destiny number.
Look up this, and go to the corresponding pages for those two in particular, and things like your Soul Urge (Heart's Desire), Attitude, Personality, Birthday, Karmic Debt, and Master Numbers, if any show up. I'd just do the Life Path and Destiny Numbers, since they give you good jobs for this type of personality.
Excuse me but umm.. what the fuck does this have to do with anything?
Numerology, to those who understand it, is actually a flexible script. If anything, it's a mix of some parts of free will becoming moot, whereas you're free on other parts of it.
Think of it this way: you get a script handed to you when you're born, and there is a particular role you play in society. Once you figure that out, it's up to you on how you play that role. Numerology is one way you can figure that out, though the accuracy on it can be quite alarming if you're intimidated by many concepts into it. I'm a beginner into this sort of thing, but used it on myself to determine what I should be doing.
Seems like some astrology thing
Numerology and astrology are completely different. Numerology uses numbers to make estimates on one's personality and character (both the good and bad). Astrology uses alignments in the planets at certain angles to calculate similar.
Ok but you said birthday (both), karmic debt (is that a number?), soul urge, and life path. Doesn’t seem like strictly numerology to me.
