Ever feel like Life is driving you in some way, pushing you towards some achievement or role, despite your own desires? Numerology can tell us how this influence may manifest; what this achievement may be. We just need to calculate your Power number.

The Power number has many names: Ultimate, Reality, and Number of Power to name a few. This number shows us what you can most easily achieve given the combination of your talents and opportunities (your Life Path,) and the way you interact with others (your Destiny number.) It has a subtle but constant influence on your life, almost a spiritual quality.

Not only does your Power number influence you, it literally pushes you towards an achievement or goal. This may not be what you desire, but it will manifest itself none the less.

Power Number Calculation

Your Power number is calculated by adding together your Life Path (the sum of the digits of your date of Birth), and your Destiny number (the sum of all the numeric values of the letters in your name), and then reducing by fadic addition. For example, actor Johnny Depp was born on June 9th, 1963; so his calculation is as follows:

Life Path = (06 + 09 + 1963) = (1978) = (1 + 9 + 7 + 8) = (25) = (2 + 5) = (7)

Destiny = (10 + 15 + 8 + 14 + 14 + 25 + 4 + 5 + 16 + 16) = (86 + 41) = (127) = (1 + 2 + 7) = (10) = (1)

Power Number = (7) + (1) = (8)
