Find Your Lucky Numbers in Numerology

♠ Your Life Path Number

Calculate your Life Path Number by adding each number in your birth date together until a single digit is achieved. Your life path number represents the path you will take through life and the themes that will shape it.

For example, if you were born on March 1, 1968:

• Add together the month, day, and year of your birth: 3 + 1 + 1 + 9 + 6 + 8 = 28.
• If the result is more than a digit, add together the individual digits of 28 (2 +8) to get 10. Then add 10 (1+ 0) to get 1. The only exceptions to this are the values 11 and 22, which are considered Master Numbers.

      ♠ Your Expression Number

Calculate your Expression Number by adding the value of the letters in your full birth name. The Expression number highlights the talents and shortcomings you brought into this world. (If you believe in reincarnation, your Life Path Number is akin to the lesson you must learn on this earth, while your expression number reflects your core being.)

For example, if your name is ASHISH RANJAN: 

(1 + 1 + 8 + 9 + 1 + 8) + ( 9 + 1 + 5 + 1 + 1 + 5 )  

= 28 + 22 = 50

5 + 0 = 5

♣ Use the chart below to figure out which letters are assigned to which numbers:

• 1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9
  A	B	C	D	E	F	G	H	I
  J	K	L	M	N	O	P	Q	R
  S	T	U	V	W	X	Y	Z

  
  

♠ Your Motivation Number

Calculate your Motivation Number by adding the value of the vowels in your full name. Your Motivation Number (also known as your Soul's or Heart's Desire Number) can help you gain understanding of what drives your real inner self. It relates to what you want to be in life and what you would like to have and accomplish.

Using the same example name: A, I, A, A= 1 + 9 + 1 + 1 = 12 

                                                                = 1 + 2 = 3

♠ Your Birthday Number

Calculate your Birthday Number. Though your Birthday Number will influence you less than the other three core numbers, it's still part of the core. It represents a special gift or talent that will help you on your life path.

If September 15, 1990 is your birthdate, 

the Birthday Number is 15 = 1 + 5 = 6.

Fake Job Alert & Beware of these fake job offers

Finding a job is tough, but finding out the great job you have been offered is a scam is even worse. One thing many job scams have in common is that you are asked to send an advance fee to secure the position or pay for related materials.

 Victims are lured through newspaper ads and emails, creating the impression of a job opportunity where people can be mystery shoppers for reputable companies.

The way the scam works is:

• You receive a letter with a job offer – along with a check – to serve as a paid mystery shopper.
• You are told to cash the check, keeping a portion of the funds as compensation and using another portion to buy goods at a business specified in the letter – to “mystery shop” the retailer as a way to evaluate its customer service skills. 
• You are instructed to use a money transfer company to wire the remaining portion of the money to a name provided. 
• You later find out that the check was counterfeit, and the portion of the money transferred to the named individual cannot be retrieved – so you are defrauded of those funds.
