Numerology &
The Expression Number

This calculation depends on the Letter-Number correspondence. This number is the reduced sum the numerological values of all the letters of the full name.

It also corresponds to the sum:
Intimate Number + Desire Number

This is the key value in Numerology. This number represents your potential of expression and contact ; it is also the image that you can give to others. You are free to use fully or partially this potential. It is a very important number to grasp the social behavior of a person, to help him orientate himself in his professional life. When the potential of the Expression Number is not used fully, it's the sign of a certain instability that exists on the level of the Intimate Number. In this case, you must first stabilize and strengthen it's base (of the Intimate Number), before being able to develop your natural qualities of expression.

Also, the Expression Number allows the analysis of the possibilities of relationship between two people, to evaluate the type of possible relationship between them. This number is calculated by reducing the total of the Numerological values of all the letters of the full name given at birth. To refine this interpretation, it is useful to take the information from the Desire Number into account. In this way a number 1 or 8 Expression Number (naturally hard) will be softened by a Desire Number 2, 6, or 9.
