A numerology portrait is your customized roadmap to life, similar to an astrological natal chart. It displays your skills, shortcomings, and potential as an individual. Consider it a mystic cheat sheet. Unlike a natal chart, which uses your actual birth time, place, and day to determine your portrait, numerology is a little more straightforward. A numerology picture, also known as a numerology chart, is made up of only six numbers: three derived from your actual date of birth (your birth number, life path number, and attitude number), and three derived from your name's letters (your soul's urge, personality number, and power number).
While each of these numbers and positions has special meanings, the most important number in your portrait will be your life path number. To calculate your life path number, add every single number of your birthday—day, month, and year of birth—into a single digit. This number is important because it describes the path you must take in order to find fulfillment in life. It describes who you are at your core, and who you might become if you live your full potential—similar to your sun sign in astrology.
There are six important numbers in your numerology portrait or numerology chart. They are your:
SOUL'S URGE Inner desires, what makes your soul happy.
PERSONALITY NUMBER The aspects of your character that you show to others.
POWER NUMBER The strengths of your character.
BIRTHDAY NUMBER How others see you at first glance.
LIFE PATH NUMBER The path you must take in life; your identity and the core of who you are.
ATTITUDE NUMBER Attitude toward life.
