Numerology depicts our attitude in a very effective manner. It is nearly impossible to know a person without comprehending his conduct and natural inclinations. His “Expression Number” is one of the most significant numerological tools in this regard.
True, there are six core numbers in numerology and all shed light on different aspects of a person's character and sentiments. But Expression Number is most helpful in knowing his or her attitude in a comprehensive way.
As is apparent from the very term, Expression Number conveys what is most expressive in a person's character. It reflects upon natural inclinations and also his mode of conduct. The number of expression exerts a great power on such things and almost forces you with the power of that number. That is why your strengths, weaknesses, likes, dislikes and even pitfalls in life can be effectively known..
Expression Number is quite different from other numbers. Like Heart Desire and Personality Numbers, it is directly linked with your name. It has no connection with your date of birth or a total sum there of. It is like a boon for those who do not know their exact date of birth and therefore are unable to tell their correct birth number. The number of expression helps them to get and even change their natural proclivities.
To draw the number of expression, a name has to be spelled in Roman letters. No other script, be it scientific Devnagari or compact Arabic is of any help. Each Roman letter is attached with a particular number which is ruled by a celestial body or a planet as we generally describe them in Numerology.
For example the letter T belongs to number 2 which is ruled by the planet Moon. Every name has many such letters and the addition of their numbers is called Expression Number. For instance the name Neeraj has the expression number 8 that is ruled by the planet Saturn. He, therefore must be a person with businesslike approach and an expressive inclination towards money making goals and career achievements. His success or failure both are bound to be associated with these proclivities. Since his name has three letters pertaining with number 5, his businesslike approach born out of number 8 will always be associated with short journeys and communication, the qualities associated with number 5.
There is another unique feature attached with Expression Number. It can always be changed and that too in accordance with a person's requirement and suitability. But that process is very delicate and can have serious and sometimes very negative repercussions if not paid proper heed to. One who is interested in this type of change therefore, must consult a Numerologist with his or her complete number and natal charts. For Instance if Mr. Neeraj whose expression number is a goal oriented and businesslike 8 starts writing his name as Niraj, his expression will then change to number 7, the number of philosophy, wisdom and completion. The same person may slowly turn into a semi reclusive who has little interest left in worldly achievements. He may no more be a person dying for social reputation and his erstwhile addiction for beneficial contacts might also make way for nearly an obsession for all things related to intellect and devoid of human sentiments. The new spelling will no more have the great presence of 5 in his names, so his life may now have fewer journeys especially for business. The change of expression might be good for a person who wants a cool, reserved and an intellect-based life with a selective approach towards everything. On the other hand it can prove to be a big mistake for a person with a goal oriented, practical approach and who owing to some of his problems, underwent a change of expression without knowing its consequential pitfalls.
