The Destiny Number in a numerology chart is calculated using a person's full birth name. This is the full name that appears on their birth certificate- unless they were adopted shortly after birth and their name was changed. In that case, the new name can be used. Write out the full name with space below the letters to write the number that corresponds to each. A, J and S are represented by the number 1. B, K and T are represented by the number 2. C, L and U are the number 3. D, M, and V are the number 4. E, N and W are 5. F, O and X are 6. G, P and Y are 7. H, Q and Z are 8. I and R are 9.

In order to calculate the Destiny Number, add the numbers together for each part of the name, reduce the total if it is not between 1 and 9 (or 11 or 22, the master numbers). Then add the reduced results from each part of the name together and reduce again if necessary. For the name Jane Doe Smith, you would start with Jane- which would be 1 + 1 + 5 + 5 or 12, which reduces to 3. Doe would be 4 + 6 + 5 or 15, which reduces to 6. Smith would be 1 + 4 + 9 + 2 + 8 or 24, which reduces to 6. Add them together and 3 + 6 + 6 or 15, which reduces to 6. Jane Doe Smith's Destiny Number would be 6.

For those with a Destiny Number of 6, their lives will be dedicated to love, balance and responsibility. They will be conscientious, helpful and able to rectify and balance any lack of harmony in their surroundings. Helping and comforting those in need will appeal to these people- especially when the ones in need are the elderly, children, the ill or the poor. Those with their Destiny Number in 6 believe in righting wrongs and behaving charitably.

This person would make a great parent since so much of their energy and concern would be turned towards their home. They approach all relationships with an open and honest nature. Happiness at the home front will be so important to them that they will somehow be able to create nearly perfect harmony without even breaking a sweat. Their occupation will also be chosen to help the home and often the community, as well. A job in social work, teaching, construction, science (especially medicine) or religion is likely to suit this person well.

The upsides of having a Destiny Number of 6 include a friendly, appreciative and loving nature. There is also sympathy for others that can result in great acts of generosity and kindness. The negatives of this number can include dominance, stubbornness and a self-righteous attitude. They can be too demanding on the self and those around them. There is a tendency to self sacrifice to save others from stress or harm. This can cause excessive worrying.
