Numerology holds that your birth date and name carry a vibration that shapes who you are and the path you walk. The most important figure is your Life Path number, reduced from your full date of birth to a single digit — or, in special cases, to a master number (11, 22, or 33). It describes your core nature and the central lesson of your life.
Your Expression number, drawn from the letters of your full birth name, adds a second layer: the talents and tendencies you carry, and what you are here to develop. Where the Life Path is the road, the Expression is the vehicle you travel it in.
Numerology pairs naturally with Vedic astrology — both read meaning from the moment and identity you were born into. Your numbers sketch the underlying current; your Vedic birth chart maps the precise timing, relationships, and purpose.
