Psychic number
Psychic number is calculated from the day of birth. It shows the inner and instinctive layer of the person: self-image, preference, likes, dislikes, and first response.
Dates from 10 to 31 are reduced to a single number, but the compound date still adds tone.
Destiny number
Destiny number is calculated from the full date of birth. It shows the wider life current and is read differently from the psychic number.
For compatibility, destiny number should be compared with destiny number first.
Name number
Name number is calculated from the name by which a person is known. It belongs to public expression, social rhythm, and the way the person is recognized.
The source treats the name number as meaningful, but it should be read beside psychic and destiny numbers.
Compound number
Compound number is the unreduced number before the final single digit. For example, 21 reduces to 3, but 21 is still read as a route into 3.
This prevents different dates with the same final number from being flattened into identical meanings.
Personal year number
Personal year number is calculated for a target year by adding birth month, birth date, the last two digits of the target year, and the weekday number of the birthday in that year.
It gives a general yearly tone and should not be treated as a complete future reading by itself.
