The Letters in Your Name Are Here to Tell You What to Do With Your Life
This year has taken the words confusing, stressful, and challenging to a whole new level, amirite? Whatever plans you had this January, they’ve probably changed drastically, gone up in smoke, or left you thinking, "WTF next?"
Numerology might be able to help. Hear me out, bb. Your name holds the key to a little something called your heart’s true desire number. This number reveals what authentically motivates you in life and the goals you're naturally drawn to. And if you’re feeling lost, this number can help you figure out what you're supposed to be doing.
To discover your heart's true desire number, follow these instructions.
Add the value of the vowels in your full birth name—A and I = 1, E = 5, U = 6, O = 7. FYI: Use your full name—first, middle, and last. And use the last name you had at birth, if you changed it after marriage.
If this gives you a double digit, add the digits together until you get to a single digit. This is your heart’s desire number.
For example, Beyoncé Giselle Knowles = 5 + 7 + 5 + 1 + 5 + 5 + 7 + 5 = 40 = 4 + 0 = 4...her favorite number, BTW.
Found yours? Here's what it means:
Number 1
You're a natural boss and a great leader. Basically, you get. sh*t. done. The 9-to-5 life isn't for you, and you're likely to thrive as an entrepreneur or freelancer. You want to feel independent and able to follow your own ideas, because you’ve got plenty of them! Sometimes your natural fearlessness can come off as arrogant, but you’re quick to recognize when you’re getting in your own way. (No one gets in your way, not even you!)
Your true path is to lead, whether that means sharing an idea, launching a movement, or starting a brand.
Number 2
You're incredibly intuitive, empathetic, and creative. Your natural sentimentality and caring nature make you a wonderful partner, and you place a lot of emphasis on your romantic relationships—if your relationship isn't working, you don’t feel happy. You're drawn towards professions that involve caring for others, like medicine, social work, or teaching. But in order to succeed, you need to work on your resilience and confidence, because you tend to avoid conflict and doubt yourself. As you get stronger, you’ll find it gets easier to step out of your comfort zone. Trust that you CAN handle anything. Keep on proving to yourself how strong you really are.
Number 3
You’re a creative genius! You have an innate urge to express yourself and you’re full of ideas. There’s never a dull moment in your mind (in fact, it can get kinda exhausting). You need to find a way to channel all this mental energy—like writing, painting, podcasting, teaching, studying...whatever helps you get all your ideas out of your head and into the world. But watch out: Sometimes your ego can get a little tooooo big and take a toll on your relationships. When that happens, meditate, relax, and take a big breath. When you slow down, you can find balance and communicate clearly. You're at your best when you focus.
Number 4
You're very ambitious, so you tend to choose competitive careers where you can climb the ladder. For you, money is a way of feeling secure, and you use your hard-earned cash to build a secure, comfortable, even luxurious lifestyle. You're also very motivated to create a happy, stable family and a strong partnership. You can struggle to find a work/life balance—you're not exactly relaxed or spontaneous. Don’t let life be all work and no play—look for a career path that lets you have fun while you pursue success.
Number 5
You're naturally fun, charming, and "forever young." Your life story often follows a "late bloomer" path, which is cool because you’re busy having fun and experimenting as you figure things out. People are just drawn to you. Careers in politics, journalism, PR, promotion or advertising seem easy, because you have a knack of knowing just what to say, and when. Your greatest setbacks are overindulgence and inconsistency. You might be tempted to pick the easy option, or try an exciting and untested strategy rather than a tried and tested tactic. You struggle to balance your sense of fun and your sense of responsibility, but it gets easier as you get older.
Number 6
You tend to put others first, and you care enormously about protecting the vulnerable. You're an instinctive healer, and you're drawn to careers in medicine, law, or therapy—jobs that let you use your talents and get fulfilling results. You're compassionate, warm, humble, and generous, and other people are drawn to your personality. You’ll have many friends and confidants—and admirers! However, you tend to doubt yourself. Make sure you’re advocating for your own needs. Don’t ever settle in work, love, or life. You deserve the best!
Number 7
You're driven by your intellect and your search for truth. You seem to operate on a higher plane than the rest of us, and your instincts lead you to diverse careers from an undercover detective to a spiritual guru. You need a career that intellectually stimulates you and offers you the opportunity to seek and expose truths. You prefer to work alone, and you need time and space to recharge and reflect—especially because your wit often makes you the center of the crowd. Beware of falling too far down the rabbit hole of solitude. You do need to spend time with friends and family. They like having you around!
Number 8
You're a strong, capable go-getter. Your natural leadership skills give you the respect and admiration of others. You thrive on recognition and praise, and if you don’t get what you deserve, you can become stubborn and negative. (But this rarely happens, because you work so damn hard!) Careers in leadership and management appeal to you. You're a committed and deeply loving partner, but you can find it hard to express your feelings. You tend to be guarded, so try to let your walls down. Try and see things from others’ point of view, and don’t try to control everything. Sometimes, even the hardest worker in the room needs a break!
Number 9
You're a natural humanitarian, and you see yourself as a global citizen with a deep and authentic social conscience. You're drawn to roles that let you make the world a better place, such as teaching, law, writing, and healing. Sometimes, you can be overly dramatic and create noise where it’s not needed, but when you find inner peace and contentment with what you’re doing, those tendencies fade away. As long as you keep following your conscience, you will be fulfilled and prosperous.
