Your destiny tells you what you must BE, ACCOMPLISH and DO in this lifetime in order to ACHIEVE the lesson of your Lifepath, make the most of the positive numerological influences in your character, and prevent any negative influences from interfering with the achievement of your purpose.
Your destiny is derived from the total numerical value of each letter of your BIRTH NAME - not a married name or nickname, but the name you were given at the time of your birth, because it is this number that determines your destiny.
The numerical value of the letters of your name are calculated by assigning a number to each letter of the alphabet: A = 1, B = 2, C = 3 and so on. The numerical value for letters whose numerological equivalent is two digits is arrived at by adding the two digits together. For example, M, which is letter 13, equals 4 (1+3 = 4).
You will understand your destiny more fully if you bear this in mind: your first name is a precious personal possession that contains within it extremely valuable personal lessons. Your middle name or initial is comprised of talents and abilities that are, like the position of the "middle" name itself, obscured by your other aspects. The characteristics of your last name tend to be those shared by all the members of your family.
It's true that your destiny CAN be changed SOMEWHAT by a name change, but your birth name will always remain a powerful influence in your life, as permanent as your thumbprint. Any changes you make in your name are superimposed on that powerfully influential original.
One thing I'd like you to bear in mind, the events of your life happen in a fixed and numbered order that no one can change. However, your natural faculty of free will can help you to decide how to respond to the events in your life. The insights numerology gives into your destiny are signs on the path of your destiny, pointing you in directions that lead you to fulfillment of your purpose and away from areas that could distract you from it.
Paying close attention to these signs will bring you closer to your purpose and will keep you on the special path that makes you the unique and wonderful person you are.
