Hidden Passion Numerology

Numbers that appear several times in your name represent a particular strength or ability -- symbolized by your Hidden Passion number -- and therefore represent your specific field of expertise or a specialized talent tailored just for you.

First, calculate your Hidden Passion number by using the guide below, then read up on where your passion hides!

How to find your Hidden Passion number

The Hidden Passion chart is represented by a square divided into nine smaller squares. Each of those nine squares is numbered 1 through 9, starting with 1 in the top left corner of the chart and ending with 9 in the lower right corner. In the top of each square is another number indicating how many times the number below it is represented in your full name at birth.

To begin, write out your full birth name (first, middle and last) and designate each letter with a number, according to its place in the alphabet. Reduce all double-digit numbers each to a single digit by adding together the two digits. For example, the letter "B" is a 2 because it is the second letter of the alphabet. But, the letter "T" is also a 2, as it is the 20th letter of the alphabet, and 2 + 0 = 2. Once you've assigned a single-digit number to each letter of your name, record the occurance of each number into your nine-square grid.

Your Hidden Passion Number is the single-digit number that occurs most frequently in your name.

Tom Cruise, for instance, has 4 letters with the value of 1 in his name. He has two letters with the value of 2, two letters with the value of 3, and so forth. All in all, he has more letters with the value of 1 than any other letters, making his Hidden Passion number 1.
