Numerology Career
If you would, consider the following situation:
Mary's getting really, really tired of her nursing job.
She originally took the opportunity because it seemed like a welcome change from her previous one. Over time, though, Mary grew discontent - and without warning, the job wasn't enough to pay her bills and expenses that suddenly seemed to rack up. Frustrated by her turn in luck, Mary decides to look up her numbers in numerology and discovers that she's a Life Path 5, Expression Number 4. She then tries looking into her Money Number in numerology to see if it could bring in some extra cash. Some of the recommendations don't make sense to her (why should she feed a cow on Wednesdays and was she really about to go the local petting zoo every week?), but she tries what she finds.
Yet despite trying to follow the various recommendations for weeks, nothing really seems to work. Mary even tries using magic numbers to attract money, with some success - but no matter how much she uses numbers like 4 or 5, things still seem so difficult! And her job seems to be getting even harder.
There are a couple of reasons why Mary's struggling to manifest wealth, and why using her Money Number didn't seem to work: the first is that Mary had primarily (but unknowingly) been trying to use the Vedic system of numerology, which is inextricably intertwined with ancient Indian astrology. There were therefore specific elements of the Vedic recommendations that Mary had discarded while experimenting with Vedic lucky numbers, and those elements turned out to be important!
But the biggest reason Mary's manifestation with money numbers seemed unsuccessful was due to career misalignment: she had been in the wrong job the entire time, and the money that she was supposed to be able to obtain wasn't given the widest possible avenue in which to reach her. If she had known the secrets of her Expression Number, she could have used that time researching a transition into nurse education first - which is where her soul genuinely wanted to be next.
It's All in the Expression (Number)
People across the world seek to use numerology to understand or even control their fate, from marriage and children to wealth and money. Yet the Money Number mentioned above, as far as numerology goes, is actually a new Western convention! In multiple ancient traditions, one's lifetime wealth was determined by a multitude of factors, and they were often seen as non-negotiable without some sort of religious or devotional practice. If you attempt to use the Money Number without minding your other numbers in numerology, it may not work as well - which is why you may want to know your Expression Number first, so that you can make sure that you're well-positioned to receive the abundance you're looking for.
The Expression Number, also known as the Destiny Number, is considered to be the number that describes your skills, gifts, and abilities. However, it can also highlight your faults, as well as developmental areas that require your attention and care. Your Expression Number can determine where to apply those skills in order to find career, social, and even lasting spiritual fulfillment. To calculate yours, write out your full name and use the guide below to "translate" the numeric value of each letter according to the guide below:
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 |
| A | B | C | D | E | F | G | H | I |
| J | K | L | M | N | O | P | Q | R |
| S | T | U | V | W | X | Y | Z |
Special note: this is a Western conversion guide; conversion values in other numerology traditions are actually quite different!
Add up your first, then, middle, then last names; you should have one sum for each part of your name. Once that's done, add the resulting numbers together. If the sum is a two-digit number, then add those two digits together to get a single digit from 1-9, unless you end at 11 or 22. That's your Expression Number!
