Maya Angelou: Numerology View

In her 20’s, she married Tosh Angelos, divorced soon after, and took on a version of his name combined with Maya, her brother’s nickname for her. Thus, Maya Angelou was born. The name is like a song. As you can see from the above chart, Angelou’s soul essence is a 6, which is about opening herself to the world through the heart. Six is connection with family and community. It is the mother, the sister, the trusted friend.

Her value number is now a 1, helping her to reach out, inspire and lead others to do the same. Her expression number is still a 7, but with Maya Angelou she reclaims her voice as she shares her wisdom and spirituality with the world.

In an interview with Oprah Winfrey, Angelou describes the soul: “The soul is the spirit that belongs to all.”

Maya Angelou Voice of Freedom

Angelou’s life has inspired so many people from all walks of life. Presidents Clinton and Obama, as well as Nelson Mandela, have honored her. Her vision of courage is exemplified in her 1969 memoir, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings. She learned from life, with all of its struggles and brilliance. Her mission was the search for freedom. Like a bird, we can all fly if we just let go to spirit.
