Background
Numerology (known before the 20th century as arithmancy) is the belief in a divine or mystical relationship between numbers and factors like your personal name and your date of birth. The term Numerology was coined by Dr. Julia Seton, and first seen in a book published around 1937.
The practice of gematria, assigning numerical values to words and names and imputing those values with religious meaning, dates back to antiquity. The philosopher and mathematician Pythagoras was an advocate of this kind of divinatory system.
There are numerous systems which assign numbers to letters - gematria. There are two major schools of Numerology practiced today: Pythagorean Numerology, and Chaldean Numerology.
In the west we often defer to a version of the Pythagorean System.
The Pyathagorean Gematria.
So, taking my name ALAN would translate into ...
1 + 3 + 1 + 5 which equals 10
We reduce double digits into a single digit thus 1+0 = 1
So my first name number is 1
In this article we'll look at two sets of numbers that are particularly interesting attributes, Your Life and Destiny Numbers.
Cracking the Code: Understanding Life Numbers
Your life number is a fundamental aspect of numerology, representing the core essence of who you are and the lessons you are here to learn.
To calculate your life number, one typically sums up the digits of your birth date until reduced to a single digit, except for master numbers 11 and 22 which hold significant spiritual weight.
For instance, if you were born on June 15, 1990, the calculation would be as follows:
6 + 1 + 5 + 1 + 9 + 9 + 0 which equals 31
We reduce this to a single number thusly 3 + 1 = 4
Each life number is associated with unique traits, strengths, and challenges, offering a comprehensive insight into your personality and life's purpose.
Deciphering Destiny: Unveiling Destiny Numbers
Your destiny number, also known as the expression number, sheds light on the talents and abilities you possess and the paths you are inclined to follow.
Calculating your destiny number involves the conversion of your full birth name into a series of numbers based on the Pythagorean system, which is then reduced to a single digit. For example, if your birth name equates numerically to 39:
3 + 9 = 121 + 2 = 3
In this scenario, the destiny number would be 3.
Your destiny number serves as a compass guiding you towards your true calling and illuminating the opportunities that align with your innate gifts.

The interplay between your life and destiny numbers unveils a profound tapestry of interconnected vibrations that shape your journey through life. By analyzing both numbers together, you can gain a holistic perspective on the lessons you are here to learn and the potential you possess to fulfill your destiny.

Afterthought
The numerous divinatory arts are linked. If you know anything about Astrology or The Tarot you will appreciate the connections between keyword descriptions and numbers, for example.
Popularisers of Numerology, and Astrology for example, often miss the point of these systems. They treat them as "mundane" indicators of life, personality or soul connection.
In many ways ALL divinatory systems are not about fortune telling or "personality readings"; they are about self-reflection and evolution. But, that's a topic for another time.
