Birth Name Not in Harmony With Birth Date

Question:
According to some numerologists - if your birth name is not in harmony with your birth date it can make your life more difficult. Is this true? I have never really resonated with my birth name and was thinking to change it. Can changing your name to a more balanced name be a positive thing - especially if you feel good about the new name?

Answer: (Responses to questions rely on the accuracy of the name and birth date provided with the question. Typographical errors or incomplete information can result in an incorrect response.)

The numerology core name numbers relate to the person you tend to be — your hopes and dreams, personality, outlook on life, what pleases and doesn't please — the essence of who you are as a person.

The numerology birth date number (the life path number) relates to the type of events and circumstances that are likely to be experienced as you live your life.

If all three of the core name numbers are incompatible with the life path number, then occasionally there may be difficulties related to dealing with circumstances, difficulties that would not have been present otherwise. (Here's a compatible and incompatible numbers chart.)

But it's not always strictly that way. For example, some of the cycles based on birthdate numbers may be highly compatible with one or more name numbers, which would tend to reduce or remove the tendencies for those particular difficulties to manifest. Most numerology chart positions will have an effect on this. It's not just a simple name number/birth date number comparison.

The energy represented by the number that is the bridge between name and birthdate numbers can make the name/birth date relationship easier and, perhaps, more compatible.
