Free numerology chart: your full chart, number by number

What the calculator asks for

Four fields, and each one matters. Numerology reads the name you received at birth, the one on your birth certificate, not the one life has given you since: that name carries your core numbers.

• Your birth first names: all of them, in the order of your birth certificate, even the ones you never use; each one weighs on your expression, your soul urge and your grid.
• Your birth surname: the family name you received at birth, even if you use another one today; a married name adds a secondary vibration, without replacing this one.
• The first name you go by, only if it is not your first one: it gives your active number. Leave this field empty if people call you by your first name.
• Your date of birth: it gives your life path, birthday number, cycles, pinnacles, challenges and personal year. Neither the time nor the place of birth is needed here.

Type your name as usual, accents included: the calculation removes accents, cedillas, hyphens and apostrophes by itself. A compound first name such as Jean-Pierre counts in full for the active number, a notion from the French tradition: type it in the field for the first name you go by as well.

The eight numbers at the top of the chart

The result opens on the eight core numbers, each in its own box: a value from 1 to 9, or a master number, 11, 22 or 33, flagged “master”. A “debt 13”, “debt 14”, “debt 16” or “debt 19” label means the reduction went through that number. Each box looks at one part of you:

• The life path: your whole birth date added up, the road of your life and the number that weighs the most.
• The expression, or destiny number: every letter of your first names and surname, your talents and the way you act.
• The soul urge, or heart’s desire: the vowels alone, what drives you deep down.
• The personality number: the consonants alone, how you make things real and the image you send back.
• The active number: the first name you go by, your everyday way of being.
• The hereditary number: your birth surname, what your family line hands down to you.
• The birthday number: the day alone, a talent that colours your path.
• The maturity number: life path and expression combined, what comes into its own over the years.

Below the numbers: grid, lessons, debts

Below the eight boxes, the inclusion grid counts your letters value by value: how many are worth 1, how many are worth 2, and so on up to 9. A well-filled square shows an abundant energy you draw on without effort; the fullest one gives your dominant number, also called the hidden passion.

An empty square is a karmic lesson: a quality your name does not carry, and that life invites you to learn. Karmic debts are listed with the number where they appear; each one adds a demand to that number, and the page on karmic debt numbers shows how to turn it into a strength.

For Camille Louise Martin, born on 12 May 1990, the site’s example, the grid lines up five letters worth 3 and none worth 7 or 8: a dominant 3, two karmic lessons, and a 13 debt in the expression, whose total, 85, passes through 13 before giving 4.

Your path through time

The second part of the chart follows your life over time. The three life cycles divide it into great seasons, formative, productive and harvest; the four pinnacles name the achievement each period offers you; the challenges name what to transform along the way, with a main challenge that holds for a lifetime.

Each period shows the age at which it begins and the one at which it ends, and the period you are living through is marked “current”: you see at a glance where you stand. Your personal year, from January to December, rounds it all off with today’s personal month and day: the climate of the moment within your nine-year cycle.

Tap a number, its bubble opens

Every number in the chart can be tapped. Its bubble tells you what the position means, the sense of the value you carry there, and the exact calculation, letter by letter or digit by digit, down to the result. A link leads to the page that explains it in depth, and a button puts the question straight to Vega.

Tap Camille’s hereditary number, for instance: the bubble lines up the six letters of Martin with their values, M4, A1, R9, T2, I9 and N5, then their total, 30, reduced to 3. The detail is very practical: you see which letters were counted, and a typo jumps out at once.

Your number and your sky

The chart also builds a bridge to astrology. In tradition, each number answers to a planet, the 1 to the Sun, the 2 to the Moon, the 9 to Mars. If you have calculated your birth chart and marked it as yours, the calculator sets your life path beside the planet that rules your Sun sign.

Camille, with her Sun in Taurus, has a sign ruled by Venus, the planet of the 6, and a life path 9, the number of Mars: two different planets, two colours that complete each other. When they match, the chart hails a harmony worth building on. Every correspondence is explained on the numerology and astrology page.

“This is my numerology chart”: keeping it, talking it through

The calculation happens entirely on your device: your first names and surname are not sent anywhere to draw up the chart. Keeping it is your choice: the “This is my numerology chart” button keeps it on this device and, if you are signed in, in your space, where you will find it again; you can remove it at any time.

Once kept, it becomes yours in the site’s eyes. Vega, who answers your questions, knows it and can read it with you, number by number or next to your birth chart. With {plus}, your tailored reading, the PDF composed for you, can cross this numerology chart with your birth chart.

Another site, another number?

Another calculator may show a different life path or expression. First reread what was typed: a single first name instead of all of them, a married name instead of the birth surname, and every number drawn from the name shifts.

Then look at the method. The site adds up every digit of the date in one go, while others start by reducing the day, the month and the year separately. The root stays the same, the master number does not always: born on 29 November 1982, Léa Maya Dubois has a life path 33 when everything is added together, and a plain 6 the other way. Some sites also bring master numbers down to one digit, or count letters with the Chaldean table.

Each choice is set out, with examples worked step by step, on the page about how numerology is calculated. And since every bubble shows its calculation, you can always retrace the steps by hand.
