Most people believe that we came to this planet with no “user manual”. Therefore they feel lost and don’t really know how to survive without destroying themselves. Nobody explained to us why we are here and what our mission is. However, each of us actually has a “user manual”. But this “manual” is hidden in our birth date which is called “Destiny Number”.
We all have a Destiny number which reflects our karmic debts and tasks. When you discover your destiny number you get a powerful tool that reveals your karmic lessons and opens up your inner potential. Only when you know your karma (that is, the “baggage” with which we came to this planet), can you unleash your potential and can create your desired life.
When you know your destiny number you are able to understand why you attract certain situations and people into your life, and why it may seem impossible to achieve your life goals. When you learn your karmic lesson, you are able to unlock the path to the realization of your life purpose.
In this article, I will share with you how you can easily calculate your destiny number, identify karmic challenges, and unleash your potential and hidden talents.
What Is Destiny Number?
In Vedic numerology, a destiny number is a number derived from the addition of the date of birth, month, and year.
The coding of the human bioenergetic matrix ranges from 1 to 9. In order to work with cosmic energy, it is necessary to take into account the vibrational structure of the first nine numbers. Each number has positive and negative vibrations and contains the energy of one of the nine planets.
The destiny number shows our nature. This number determines the initial encoding of our bioenergy matrix.
How to Calculate Your Destiny Number?
To calculate your destiny number you need to add all the numbers of your birth date: day + month + year.
For example, if you were born on September 11th, 1989. You need to do the following calculation: 9+1+1+1+9+8+9=38=3+8=11=2. Thus, you should get a single digit number from 1 to 9. Your destiny number is 2.

The influence of Rahu can lead a person to rapid degradation or can be a blessing and raise him (her) to a higher spiritual level. Everything depends on the choice of the person, the direction of his development and his efforts.
Challenges
#1
Rahu makes the lives of people who are under its influence, unexpected and not stable. Sudden changes nullify all plans and dreams of the person that leads to dissatisfaction with life. Life seems bad, unfair, unbearable and nasty. Therefore, such people usually cannot enjoy their lives no matter what they’re doing.
It seems to them that they are not in their place, that everything should be changed and settled more calmly and reliably. Such people are under the constant supervision of Rahu, who jokes at them, confusing the cards of life every time it seems that this time everything will be calm and stable.
#2
Rahu creates the effect of insufficiency in consciousness. Despite the fact that they can make pretty good money and reach a certain level of success, in their minds is the constant burning idea that for complete happiness they lack something. And since our mind manifests every thought we have into material reality, they themselves manifest all the negativity in their lives.
#3
No matter how well they do their job, they feel that no one can appreciate it. This makes them suspicious and overly cautious, pushes them into isolation, and makes them feel lonely and abandoned.
#4
Rahu brings into their lives a lot of enemies who act secretly, preventing them from carrying out their plans. In fact, there is always somebody around them making plans to spoil something they’re creating.
All this infuriates them and makes them act as quickly as possible to bring at least some business to an end.
Relationships
They are not lucky in their family life. Their selfish, suspicious and secretive nature and inability to make quick decisions affect the relationships in a negative way
Therefore, they are encouraged to make continuous efforts to improve their relations with partners, family members, and friends. And in general, they need to cultivate a sense of friendliness and love for all. It will cancel the negative influence of Rahu.
Finances

Mars gives them closure and commitment to Holiness; and also, it gives them the courage and the spirit of competition.
Karma of Mars
This kind of karma is connected with the turning point of the soul’s life in this world. Its circle of samsara has reached a turning point and now it is decided whether a person will return to the spiritual world or continue his/her endless wandering through 8,400,000 forms of life in this material world.
Such a person came to the very top of the “carousel” of material life and now it’s time to get off it. Such people need to overcome their vices and go to their spiritual goal decisively, without turning on trifles on secondary roads. In this life they have to make a choice: either they follow a spiritual path and reach spiritual perfection or continue their eternal wandering on material dumps.
Karma of Mars says that this person is able to set a higher goal and implement it, whatever it takes. Therefore, the whole question is what goals they will set for themselves.
If they decide to focus the primary attention on the spiritual goals, their achievements will bring them magnificent spiritual and material benefits.
If they choose to focus on purely material goals they will experience nothing but disappointment, difficulties, and losses in life.
Spiritual Path
Mars makes people very sensitive to what is happening around them. This allows them to understand different kinds of art, strategy, tactics, psychology, and subtle human nature.
Therefore, they easily fit into an esoteric environment. Everything mystical is interesting to them, especially the sacred knowledge that they can apply to their life. However, they should be extremely careful with their sensitivity, not to become pseudo-psychics, otherwise, they will have to pay bitterly.
Professions
People with this destiny number can be interested in healing, ecology, music, singing, and painting.
Relationships
These people should be careful with romantic relationships, as they often act in this regard as victims. Whatever the situation is they should not forget about their mission, otherwise they can waste many years of their life, trying to find a solution to some petty problems.
