Numerology Expression Number, Birth Name and Success
The sum of all the numbers in your birth name is your Expression Number and defines how you bring your gifts into the world through your voice and spirit.
Expression Numbers – How Your Birth Name Affects Your Success in Life – A Numerology Celebrity Walk Through
By Numerologist Greer Jonas
Since we are in March, the 3rd month of 2022, I thought I would talk about the 3. The ‘3’ represents creative expression in every form —art, music, writing, dancing, or speaking.
How can you be creative this month? Perhaps step out of your comfort zone and do something innovative and inspired. Let’s take New York City — my hometown, for example. Here I am, five minutes away from Riverside Park. Have I been there at all this winter? No! I will set a goal to take a walk in the park, head down to the pier, and maybe take some colored pencils and a sketchbook.
Your Expression Number
According to Numerology, the sum of all the numbers in your birth name is your “expression number.” This number defines how you bring your gifts into the world through your voice and spirit. It is how you express yourself in your life. This energy can be your brilliance or your challenge. You came into this life to experience it all.
As a perfect segue toward understanding your expression number, I chose a few celebrities to illustrate the effect of your name. But first, a quick definition of each expression number in a few words:
1 – confident/inspiring/leader
2 – diplomat/romantic/thoughtful
3 – creative and joyful
4 – organized and a builder
5 – energetic and charismatic
6 – compassionate and understanding
7 – spiritual, unique, and mysterious
8 – powerful and successful
9 – inspired by transformation and the bigger picture
Master numbers –when two numbers are the same, they have a powerful influence. It is so interesting (and not surprising) to see how many celebrities have master numbers.
11 – Divine inspiration and leadership
22 – The master connector and builder
33 – Mastery of creative expression and service
How do you find your Expression Number?
In Numerology, you can find your expression number by adding all the letters. For example, in your birth name and the name you are called.
Let’s look at the Pythagoras chart to begin.
Each letter in the alphabet has numerical energy. A, J, and S would have a # 1 energy, as an example. Next, add the sum of your birth name and the sum of the name you are called. The two expression energies will affect how you share and communicate with others. We can see from the illustrations below how many celebrities change their name and achieve a new persona.
1 & 11- Marilyn Monroe
Well, Norma Jeane Mortenson was not a very vibrant birth name. Yet, Norma’s expression number is a master 11 vibration. The 11 gave her the energy to be dynamic and unforgettable. The name Marilyn Monroe, of course, was more vibrant for a movie personality. And the 1 is the dynamic leader. There is only one Marilyn Monroe! Never forgotten in history long after her death.
2 & 5 — Elton John
It is well known that Elton John had a rough childhood and felt like he was not truly recognized as the vibrant personality he is today. Originally born Reginald Kenneth Dwight, he has the very quiet energy of the ‘2’. This number is not an easy expression to be out there in the public eye. With Elton John, he has a ‘5’ expression #. How perfect! The five expressions are the dynamic performer, not afraid to be out on stage in wild costumes. Elton gathered the confidence to display his musical vision in his voice and write songs with his new name.
3 & 7 —Barbra Streisand
Barbra’s birth name was Barbara, but she wanted to be unique and changed her name to ‘Barbra.’ She was born with a ‘3’ expression number —illustrating Barbra’s creative, beautiful, and captivating voice. And no surprise, as she changes her name, the expression becomes ‘7’ –all about being unique. And there is no other voice like Barbra’s!
4 & 3 Bob Marley
Bob Marley is a great example of working with two expression numbers to support his dynamic success as a performer, writer, and activist. As a pioneer of Reggae music, Marley used his 4 to help him organize and build his career. The ‘3’ is the creative expression in every form as the memorable sound and spirit of Bob Marley will never be forgotten.
6 & 8-Madonna
Madonna has a six and an eight-expression number. Good thing because she can be very endearing with a six, and people will want to be near her. But it is the eight that gives her a dynamic presence as a successful performer with a huge range of fans.
All about 7s! Oprah Winfrey
As talk show host, producer, actress, and philanthropist, Oprah Winfrey is everything that encompasses a ‘7’. Seven is the spiritual, non-conformist delves into the unknown. 77 is mastery in spirituality which turns into the spark of the fire (5). Oprah can change the world with her expressive voice. She can introduce a book she is moved by, becoming a best seller.
9 Tony Robbins
Tony Robbins, the successful self-help guru and inspirational coach, is a ‘9’ through and through. Both birthname and name he is called add up to ‘9’. The nine represents transformation, completion, and seeing the bigger picture. Robbins is all that!
Master Numbers – 66 & 11 —JK Rowling
JK changed her name ‘Joanne’ with the intention that a male pseudonym would be more popular. Whether Joanne or JK, her two master numbers influence her mesmerizing ‘Harry Potter’ popularity and success. The 66/3 (a rare master number) has the dynamic impact of compassion, family, service (two 6’s), and creative expression (3). Her beloved books tell the whole story of her mastery and inspiration to the young and an adult reader.
