    Understanding Essence Numbers

    The Essence Number reveals the internal theme of each year of your life. While Personal Year Numbers describe your external environment and opportunities, Essence Numbers illuminate your inner state of being, emotional climate, and areas of personal growth.

    Essence Numbers are calculated using Transit Letters — the letters currently active in each part of your birth name. Each letter in your name governs for a number of years equal to its numerical value (A/J/S = 1 year, B/K/T = 2 years, etc.).

    At any given age, three (or two) transit letters are active simultaneously: one from your first name, one from your middle name, and one from your last name. Their combined value, reduced to a single digit (or master number), gives your Essence Number for that year.
