Destiny Number

To discover your Destiny Number simply add up your birth date, day, month and year the result of the sum shows your life’s potential.

Write down the day, month and year of birth as numbers, as a simple sum.

Here’s mine as an example:

28^th January, 1965

28/1/1965

Next separate the numbers and place a + between each one.

Add them all up separately:

2+8+1+1+9+6+5= 32 If your number is above 21 reduce down to single digit as follows  (3+2=5)  Destiny Number 5   The Hierophant

Hierophant

The Hierophant is the counsellor, teacher, therapist, prophet, oracle or sage, who brings the heaven down to earth. Wise and soothing, they create harmony and peace in the midst of crisis.

The Year Card

To discover your years influence, simply add your day and month and the current year.

Here’s mine as an example

2+8+0+1+2+0+1+1=6  The Lovers

The Lovers

The Lovers are often thought to be about relationships, which is true, but they are also about your relationship with yourself and your world. The Lovers card is about balancing the inner masculine and feminine, of coming into communion with your higher self and of finding fulfilment through the expression of your love and your gifts and following your heart and intuition.

Exercise:

Having identified your archetypal influences, you can now consciously call upon their energy as and when you need.  You can do this by simply imagining or visualising them with you and asking for their wisdom and support.
