How This Is Calculated
The Expression number (also called the Destiny number) uses the Pythagorean system, where every letter of the alphabet is assigned a number from 1 to 9 (A=1, B=2, C=3, and so on, cycling back to 1 after I). Every letter in your full birth name is converted to its number and added together, then reduced to a single digit. It's traditionally read as describing natural talents and tendencies — the traits other people tend to notice about you — distinct from your Life Path number, which describes your broader life direction.
