How to Calculate Your Name Number?

Calculating the Destiny Number depends on which numerology system you choose to use. There are three systems in common use at this time: Pythagorean, Gematria, and Chaldean. While each one assigns number values to letters, they vary with some letters. For example, A is 1 in all systems. Q is 8 in the Pythagorean system, 4 in the Gematria system, and 1 in the Chaldean system.

Therefore, the Destiny number of a man named Quincy would add up from the following numbers:

Gematria

Chaldean

As it happens, the Pythagorean and Chaldean Destiny is 8, while the Gematria Destiny is 3.

What is the Destiny Number

The single digit number of your name reveals the energy you attract from others and the world. Knowing your Destiny Number helps you understand why people want you to play a certain role in life.

The Destiny number works in concert with the Life Path Number. When combined with the Life Path number you get the Soul Purpose Number.

Unlike the Life Path Number which drives the individual, the Destiny Number is the pulse of energy that turns people in their direction for a specific reason, related to the number meaning of that Destiny.

The Number 4 as Your Destiny

These are the people others look to for stability, security, and safety, regularly or in a crisis. Being seen as “old reliable” is their Destiny. For some individuals this will be a welcome role, for others a constant source of material entrapment. Nonetheless, steadfastness will be the recurring theme.

The Number 4 and Career

The challenge for Destiny 4 individuals is how to learn to avoid being overburdened by the needs of others. Destiny 4 people become the anchors in the work environment because fellow employees and their employer perceive them as examples of endurance and consistency. Co-workers will turn to this person when they want to get out of work or need someone to get the job done.

The Number 4 and Love

Destiny 4 people attract romantic partners trying to find stability and safety. The romance can be egalitarian (a rancher and his/her farming partner), complimentary (a farmer and his/her lover business partner), or very disadvantageous (a farmer and his/her lover running up the debt). Regardless, the lesson of love is tied to the lesson of material security.

Number 4 and Family

The parent or child that is a 4 will be viewed as the rock of the family. It may not even be a conscious behavior on the part of other family members, they will simply look at the 4 and believe they have everything well in hand. This destiny works well if the individual wants to grow through responsibility and hard work, but can be problematic if they are in crisis and need help since they are “always” in control.

Number 4 and Health

There will be a constant pressure to be the one that does not get sick or derail others due to illness. If a question about health comes up around a Destiny 4, then everyone will turn to the 4 and expect their answer to be stoic endurance. It will not matter if the Destiny 4 individual agrees or not. If they are in the room when everyone wants things to go along as they always do, people will naturally look towards Destiny 4 and expect business as usual.

Other Numbers and Their Importance

You also have other numerology numbers that are important and that refine your Destiny Number. No one is the pure embodiment of a number, but the Destiny Number is a foundation number (along with the Life Path and Soul Purpose numbers).

Other important and truly significant numbers include an identity number assigned by your society, like the social security number in the United States. Numbers that form your daily life are important, like your phone number numerology, or the address of you home.

How to Use Numerology in Your Life

Once you become aware of the numbers of your life, you can use them to help you succeed in your career and your relationships. If the 4 is your Destiny Number, then realize that other people will sense you as a 4 and react to you accordingly. We are all pulsing with certain energy that acts on the world and causes the world to react.
