What is the Destiny Number?
The Destiny Number, also known as the Expression Number, is one of the core numbers in numerology. Calculated from the letters of your full birth name, it reveals your life's purpose, the talents you're meant to develop, and the ultimate goals you're destined to achieve.
Unlike your Life Path Number (derived from birth date), which shows your journey, the Destiny Number shows your destination—the person you're becoming through life's experiences. It represents your potential and the qualities you need to express to fulfill your purpose.
For the most accurate picture, read your Destiny Number together with your Life Path Number. Your Life Path reveals your natural gifts, while your Destiny Number shows how you're meant to use them.
