Destiny Number
The next core number you will be learning how to calculate in this course is THE EXPRESSION NUMBER. This number is derived from all of the numbers in your full birth name. Not your married or pen name. It must be the name you were born with including all of your middle names.
The Expression Number is the number that describes all of the talents and personal potential that you will have at your disposal during this lifetime. This is the number that describes the ideal version of you that can develop if you make the right choices in life.
Some people are often quite daunted when they first calculate their Expression number as usually the interpretation describes ideals that may seem impossible to attain. Either that or they feel disappointed in themselves because the interpretation somehow "rings a bell" and they realize that they have achieved their potential so far in this lifetime.
One of the values of performing the Expression Number calculation is that it can be a wake up call that shows you just how far you have strayed from your heart's desires. In essence, it can help you remember what it was you always wanted to be when you were a little girl or boy. For instance, a stockbroker, with a Life Path number of materialistic eight might have an Expression number of nine, which means despite accumulated wealth his or her real desire might be to adopt children or be a philanthropist.
Without the fulfillment of the ideals of their Expression number in their lives people often feel empty or depressed no matter how successful they are.
Although you may find it difficult to live up to the expectations of your Expression number, the reading is almost always a call to action that asks you to live in the here and now and fulfill your original ambitions.
