Hidden Passion Number

The hidden passion number is the digit that appears most often among the letter values of your full birth name. It points to a concentrated talent or drive that runs through your chart. More than one digit can qualify if there is a tie for the most frequent.

How it's calculated

  1. Write out your full birth name and convert every letter to its Pythagorean value.
  2. Count how many times each digit from 1 to 9 appears.
  3. The digit, or digits, that appear most often are your hidden passion numbers.

Example John Smith: the letter values are 1, 6, 8, 5, 1, 4, 9, 2, 8. Both 1 and 8 appear twice, more than any other digit, so 1 and 8 are tied as hidden passion numbers.

Common questions

Can I have more than one hidden passion number?
Yes. When two or more digits tie for the highest count, all of them count as hidden passion numbers.
How is this different from the destiny number?
The destiny number adds every letter value together. The hidden passion number instead looks at which single value repeats the most, regardless of the total.
What does a hidden passion number mean?
It suggests a talent or drive you may lean on naturally, even if it does not show up as clearly as your life path or destiny number.
