Michelle Arbeau's Name Numerology Method

​​

Overview

Michelle Arbeau, known as the "#1 Numerologist in the world," approaches numerology as a scientific discipline rather than a metaphysical practice. Her name numerology method follows the Pythagorean system, which she has endorsed through her review of educational materials on the subject.

What's in a Name?

Have you ever wondered what the meaning of your name really means? Have you ever met someone who actually looked like their name? It happens all the time, but why do we feel that way? The power of a Name is far more than just the definition in a baby name book. Plus, your name isn't something your parents just slapped you with and now you're stuck with it for all eternity. Names, regardless of how "random" they may seem or that you might have been given a namesake like Jr, or named after your great aunt Birtha (and hate it) but throughout my over 26 years of working with numbers and the Science of Numbers, I've never come across a person whose name wasn't a match with their date of birth.

 

The short and sweet of the definition of a name from the lens of numbers is that it represents your Personality Expression. It's how others "see" you in the world. It's like a first impression.​

​

Your Name May Not Be Meant for Your Entire Life

That said, things can change though. The name you were born with may not be the name you need throughout your whole life. It could be for a specific period of time or life cycle, life lessons, etc. You get the idea. Look at women who get married and change their last name? It almost always corresponds to some other big life changes happening at that time.

​

Then, there are people who for various reasons, end up at a point in their lives where they feel, with absolute certainty they need to change their name. One recent client, who is a successful dentist in Los Angeles, was finalizing her divorce and instead of just wanting to decide the typical "keep her married last name or revert to her maiden name, wanted to change her whole entire name. She was in the middle of changing careers, selling her dental practice and becoming a life coach. We worked together to come up with the exact name vibration/frequency combination that was meant for her transition into the next phase of her life.

​

Just a Tweak Can Reap Huge Shifts

Now, not everyone is going to feel that kind of a drastic call to completely change up their name but it does happen. More frequently, people need a slight spelling tweak or something alone those lines. If you've ever felt called to modify the spelling of your name or start going by your middle name, don't discount this feeling. It's calling you to take action on it.

Below are some basics about name number calculations but booking a consultation with me is the easiest and optimum way to discover what precise name combination is ideal for your particular energetic pattern or frequency.

Core Name Numbers

According to Michelle Arbeau's approach, there are several key numbers that can be calculated from a person's name:

1. Expression Number (Destiny Number): Calculated using all letters in the full birth name. This number reveals natural abilities and talents that help propel a person toward their life goals.

2. Soul Urge Number (Heart's Desire Number): Calculated using only the vowels in the full name. This number reveals inner gifts, desires, and what truly motivates a person at a deep, personal level.

3. Personality Number: Calculated using only the consonants in the full name. This number represents how others perceive the individual and the face they show to the world.

Let's look at just one example:

​

Marilyn Monroe: The Pioneer & Humanitarian

I asbsolute loved the energy of Marilyn Monroe. Of course, she had a lot of multifaceted energy and it wasn't just her name that made her special but the name she chose for herself was no coincidence and it certainly represented the icon that she was.

​

Marilyn's Name Numbers:

​

Expression or Destiny Number: 1 - The Pioneer

Soul Urge or Heart's Desire Number: 9 - The Humanitarian

Personality Number: 1 - The Pioneer

​

It's pretty clear the name Norma Jeane chose for herself fits perfectly with the character she was in life. Obviously, she didn't know the numerology behind the name but she was compelled to use it because of the energetic frequencies it was giving off. It resonated with her.
