The Expression Number is calculated from the full name at birth, letter by letter (A=1, J=1, S=1...). It reveals your talents and the person you are meant to become.
The Expression Number, also called the Destiny Number in some systems, reveals the full spectrum of your natural talents, abilities, and the person you are meant to become through life.
Assign each letter in your full birth name its numerical value (A=1 through Z=26), sum all values for each name separately, reduce each to a single digit, then add those digits together and reduce again to a final number.
This number maps your innate gifts and potential, showing what skills you were born with and how best to express them in the world.
For the name "John David Smith": J(1)+O(6)+H(8)+N(5)=20→2, D(4)+A(1)+V(4)+I(9)+D(4)=22→4, S(1)+M(3)+I(9)+T(2)+H(8)=23→5; Expression = 2+4+5=11→1+1=2.
