When a numerologist prepares a numerology analysis chart for an individual Life Path Number affects 50%, Birth Date-5%, Expression -30%, Soul urge-10% and secret self 5% For example someone born on 25th October 1982 has a life path 2+5=7+ 1+0=1 + 1+9+8+2= 2 ….7+1+2 adds to 1. In simple words the sum total of day of birth+ month of birth+ year of birth is the Life path of a person. Expression: The sum total of the values of the alphabets in the complete name makes the expression. Note: For an individual to perform to the best of his capacity the Life Path and Expression should be in harmony. Soul Urge Number- This is the number which denotes the inner motivation of an individual. It reveals the inner drive of a being and shows what he wants to and has to do. The soul urge is arrived by adding the vowels in a name and the value reached has to be brought to a single digit or a master number- Example- Pushttie Ghode- Vowels- U,I,E=3+9+5=17 = 8 in Pushttie and O,E=6+5=11 in Ghode. When 17 and 11 added we reach=28=10=1. Soul Urge is therefore 1. Challenge Number: The Challenge number shows an obstacle in the early years of life, at least due to the emphasis placed on the negative extreme of the potential. The calculation of such a number is done in the following manner:
October 25th 1982= 10-7-2 =1-7-2(Add the digits October 10=1, 25th= 7 and 1982=2)
Now subtract the month digit and the day digit= 7-1=6
Subtract the date and the year digit= 7-2=5
Subtract the remaining digits= 6-5=1
The Secret Self: This is the number which represents the deep cherished desire of a person. This is a pleasurable fantasy number and is not connected to one’s abilities, opportunities or apparent desires. This is calculated by adding the consonants of the complete name of a person. For Example: Shaam Lal= S, H, M and L are the consonants so we take the numerical value of the alphabets and add them. S=1; H=8; M=4 and L=3. When added the sum reaches to 12=3. Therefore the secret self of Shaam Lal is 3.
