The Minor Expression number is based on the current (or short) name, the name you now use
to introduce yourself including your last name.
The influence of the short name is minor in comparison to your full name. Interestingly,
the short name often compensates in some way for numbers (and their related characteristics)
that are missing or out of balance in the full name.
For instance, a number missing in the full name may show up prominently in the short name;
or a number (or numbers) that appears in excess in the full name can be compensated for
in the short name. If a name change takes place later in life through marriage or for professional
reasons, it adds or subtracts certain qualities. It can also focus and intensify existing
characteristics or talents that may be latent.
As a rule, I recommend that you don't change your name on impulse. Marriage, of course,
does not leave much room for choice, although more and more women are hyphenating their
names or staying with their maiden names. However, if you must change your name (for professional
reasons, for example), try to choose a name already in your family, and thus connected to
you through your ancestors. Those characteristics are already present in your lineage, which
makes the new name easier to assimilate into your personality.
In answer to some commonly asked questions when it comes to short names:
- The short name is the name you feel closest to in relaxed and social settings.
- The short name is the name you would use when thinking about yourself, including your
last name.
- When figuring out the Minor Expression number, never use the middle initial, unless
you introduce yourself with that initial, such as: "Hi, I'm Tom J. Hancock."
Names you have used in the past reveal inner feelings and characteristics that were prominent
during that period in your life. If you are no longer using that name, it bears no resemblance
to your current identity.
To find your Minor Expression number, use the same formula used to find the Expression
number, but apply this formula to the name you now use to introduce yourself, including
your last name.
The Minor Expression is shown in the triangle to the right of the current or short name.

Your Heart's Desire is derived from the vowels of your name. Note that vowels are pronounced
from free-flowing breath: Aaaaaa; Eeeeeee; Iiiiiiiiii, Oooooo; and Uuuuuu. Consonants, on
the other hand, have a distinct beginning or end. They are sharply begun or sharply finished.
For example: B, D, K, P, S, T, and X.
There is a distinction in consonants, a harder edge than the soft and flowing vowels. The
vowels reveal the tender you; your love, caring, and vulnerability. Consonants reveal certain
of your characteristics that, among other things, shield your more vulnerable parts. Your
public personality, which is revealed by the consonants, is a fundamental aspect of who
you are, but these characteristics tend to be those aspects that you willingly show the
world.
The vowels are A, E, I, O, and U. All other letters are consonants, except, in some cases,
the letter Y.
The letter Y is inherently vacillating in its nature and usage, and consequently
is sometimes a vowel, sometimes a consonant, depending upon how it is used in the name.
(Some numerologists also consider the W a vowel in certain instances. Most numerologists,
including myself, do not.)
When determining if the Y is a vowel or a consonant, the basic rule is this:
When the letter serves as a vowel, and in fact sounds like one, it is a vowel. The same
is true when the Y serves as the only vowel in the syllable.
Examples of both of these cases are such names as Lynn, Yvonne, Mary, Betty, Ely, and Bryan.
However, if the Y does not provide a separate vowel sound, as when it is coupled with another
vowel, it is considered a consonant. In names such as Maloney or Murray, the Y is a consonant,
because the vowel sound depends upon the long E in Maloney and the long A in Murray.
In general, the Y is a consonant when the syllable already has a vowel. Also, the Y is
considered a consonant when it is used in the place of the soft J sound, as in the name
Yolanda or Yoda.
In the names Bryan and Wyatt, the Y is a vowel, because it provides the only vowel sound
for the first syllable of both names. For both of these names, the letter A is part of the
second syllable, and therefore does not influence the nature of the Y.
How to Find the Heart's Desire number.
The Heart's Desire number is found as follows:
Add only the vowels of each name and reduce to a single-digit.
Next, add the resulting single digits and reduce the result again to a single-digit.

The numerical value of the vowels is placed above the name and added in a manner similar
to the Expression.

THE MEANING OF THE HEART’S DESIRE NUMBERS.
Your Heart's Desire is sometimes called your Soul Urge, and is the inner you. It shows
your underlying urge, your true motivation. It reveals the general intention behind many
of your actions. Consequently, it dramatically influences the choices you make in life.
The Heart's desire is seen as part of the larger picture, called the core numbers, which
includes the Life Path, Expression, Day you were born, and Personality. But each points
to a different aspect of you.
The Expression number reveals your talents and abilities, and your general direction in
life. The Life Path is the central lesson you came into the world to learn. The Day you
were born is very closely connected to your Life Path. It reveals specific talents you possess,
which will be helpful to you in dealing with your Life Path. The Personality reveals how
people tend to see you. It also demonstrates what characteristics you are projecting to
the world. The Heart's Desire demonstrates the identity of the soul that joined the earth
-- you, the spiritual being.
