Here you will learn how to calculate your
Life Expression number, sometimes known as the Destiny Number
or the Personality number.
This sum describes all of the talents and potentials that are
at your disposal in this lifetime and is calculated from the
letters that compose your full birth name. It represents what
kind of ideals or standards that you need to live up to in
this lifetime to be "complete."
Remember that this number cannot be your nickname or your
married name, but rather the name that is found written in
full on your birth certificate. It is the number that
reveals what makes you tick, what excites you and what
motivates you as a person. If your name is misspelled on
your birth certificate, use that to configure your Life
expression number.
Unlike the Life Path Number, which is more about your
limitations or possibilities due to your ancestry or
physicality, this calculation offers you a glimpse of how
you can make the most of your experience on earth.
The value of your Life Expression Number is that it shows
you what you are truly capable of or what you should look
for when it comes to realizing your highest potential.
To calculate your Life Expression number, treat each of
your names separately and add up the values according to
the conversion chart below.

Today we will be using the name of Brad Pitt, whose full
name is actually William Bradley Pitt.
So first we would take William and add up the values as
assigned to each letter:
William 5 + 9 + 3 + 3 + 9 + 1 + 4 = 34
This would be reduced down to 3+4 which = 7
Bradley 2 + 9 + 1 + 4 + 3 + 5 + 7 = 31
3 + 1 reduces to 4
Pitt 7 + 9 + 2 + 2 = 20
2 + 0 reduces to 2
We then add all three of the reduced sums together to get a total
William + Bradley + Pitt
7 + 4 + 2 = 13
All double digits (except the master numbers 11 and 22
which are symbolic entities in themselves) are then reduced
to a single number by adding them together.
This means that Brad Pitt's Life Expression is a number 4.
