Effect of Birth Date and Name

Numerology is a practice that uses mathematical calculations for numerical results. The numbers in the results represent certain energies.

When a result is calculated, the energy the number represents is interpreted according to how it applies to the numerology chart position or life situation the calculation was for. The interpretation is subjective. The interpretation is, in large part, determined by the interpreter's experience and understanding of both the energy and the chart position or life situation.

The energies represented by the numerology numbers have various degrees of subtlety and insistence. None dictate. All represent tendencies or likelihoods. When free will is contrary to a numerology energy, free will prevails.

With that as a base, some understanding of the effect of your birth date may be obtained from the The Numerology Life Path and Cycles Based on Birthdate Numbers articles. The Calculating Numerology Name Numbers article I think addresses your question about what your name says about you.
