In a numerology reading, the numeric value of your name's letters are calculated by assigning a number to each letter of the alphabet

1. Free Numerology Reading – How to Calculate Your Destiny Number
It's been known throughout the ages by a variety of names: fate, karma, kismet.
The definitions are the same, though. Your destiny tells you what you must be,
what you must accomplish and what you must do in this lifetime to achieve the
lesson of your Lifepath. With a free numerology reading, you can find out just that.
Your destiny in numerology is derived from the total numeric value of each letter
of your birth name (no, not a married name or nickname -- but the name you were
given at your birth!).
In a numerology reading, the numeric value of your name's letters are calculated by
assigning a number to each letter of the alphabet. For example, the letter A is 1, B
is 2, C is 3, and so on. Letters with double-digits are added together in order to get
one number. For example, the letter M is the 13th letter of the alphabet. When you
add 1+3 together, you get 4, which is the numeric value.
To help you further understand your destiny in a numerology reading, keep in
mind that your first name is your own, personal possession, and provides you with
the most personal lessons. Your middle name or initial contains latent talents and
hidden abilities (it's no coincidence that the middle name is, indeed, in the
middle!). Your last name has characteristics shared by your whole family.
It's true that your destiny can be changed somewhat with a name change, but your
birth name will always remain a powerful influence in your life. It's permanent,
like your thumbprint! Any changes are simply superimposed over that original
blueprint.
