Numbers aren't just numbers! Each one holds a particular energy and quality. Every letter of the alphabet is linked to a number, from one to nine, starting with number one at A, and again at J, and so on. When all the leters of your name are added up and reduced to one digit it gives vital information about you! For example, if the total number of your forenames and surname came to 26 you would add the two digits to get 8.Our name and date of birth alone can tell us a whole lot of information about what we're like and what direction life may take.
