My name number and life number both come out to 40 [4]. Anyone ever seen this before - the numbers being the same; and what does it signify? Thanks for info.

Hello Lupatrian...Welcome to Mystic Board  
Both my life path and expression are 7 but one is 16 and one is 61. I wouldn't think it is so uncommon. Perhaps you wanted to emphasize this number in your chart for whatever reason. I believe we select our b-day and names before we come here in certain ways to learn the lessons we want to learn. But with the 40...the zero next to the 4 would add divine protection. So that's good news!

Thank you, JLD, for the info. I'm just starting into Numerology; appreciate your help.

40 It is a high octave 4. It is extremely organized, systematic, and methodical. It is critical of others, intolerant, and sometimes prejudicial.

life path four
You are practical, down to earth with strong ideas about right and wrong. You are orderly and organized, systematic and controlled. You are decisive and methodical employing a step by step rational approach to problems solving. Once committed you do not give up easily!

You are not one for "get rich quick" schemes. Rather you use hard work and long hours to build a business or career - you seek to establish a solid foundation. Precise, tenacious and persevering, you have great potential for success, but only after putting out effort and overcoming the limitations you so often encounter. Justice and honesty are sacred to you. You are reliable and dependable, a cornerstone in the community.

Though not an idealist, you are willing to work for a better world in a realistic way. However, you can be rigid in your ideas and sometimes too quick in judging your fellow man. You are loyal to those you love and work well with others. It is important that while being part of a team you have your own responsibility and well-defined task. You perform better when your responsibilities are not overlapping with those of others. You have to be careful not to be bossy and rude. You possess rare discipline and perseverance and not everyone can keep up with you.

You can handle money carefully and like the security of a nest egg.

Your love of work often leads you into a career early in life. Because of your methodical nature you can easily become rigid and stuck in convention. You can also be overly cautious when changes are necessary. This can cause you to miss opportunities that present themselves. You must cultivate flexibility in your character. You are well suited for marriage and often become a responsible loving parent. However, anything that violates your profound sense of order, such as separation or divorce can be a shattering experience for you. You easily become obsessed and even vengeful, seeking your own definition of justice.

You are courageous and a true survivor. You are a builder and the foundation of any enterprise. Your hard work and practical, traditional values pay off to provide you with the rewards you seek and deserve.

name number/expression  sum of all the letters in your name

4 expression

You are the bedrock of society, the foundation of any enterprise. You are an organizer and manager. Your approach to life and to problems is methodical and systematic. You are a builder and a doer. You turn dreams into reality.

You possess a highly developed sense of structure. You enjoy management systems, and can carry out your well laid plans. You are not the type to embark on any trip without a map.

You take your obligations and those of your family quite seriously. As a result, you are reliable and responsible.

You enjoy seeing a project through from start to finish, but can become too narrowly focused. You put your nose to the grindstone and have a tendency to become a workaholic.

You are driven by a contempt for all that is unstable, insecure, and unpredictable. You distrust the unconventional, preferring instead the tried-and-the-true. But this can make your endeavors move slowly and cause you much frustration, especially with the apparent limitations of your resources. At the same time, concern for the limitations of your resources causes you to be careful and cautious, shutting you out from possible shortcuts and creative solutions provided by more daring people around you.

It is important that you recognize restrictions for what they are: guiding forces that are testing and directing you toward your goals.

Your challenge is to be more imaginative and to attract more creative people into your life who can advise and inspire you.

In relationships, you tend to be somewhat moralistic. You are extremely honest and sincere. You have integrity and are trustworthy, but can also be rigid and stubborn. Don't let your strong likes and dislikes overrule your common sense and compassion. Be more understanding of others' shortcomings.

Because you tend to focus on details, you can fall into a rut and become a little dull and overly serious. Often, people born with the 4 Expression need to lighten up and have more fun.

In your conservative and careful way, you are good with money. You are very conscious of the balance between income and expenditures. You can limit your expenditures; saving money is important to you.

You are a surprisingly good parent, and love to be involved with children. Somehow, you relate a little more than others to the innocence of children, perhaps seeing a good deal of yourself in them. You, too, are idealistic and respect the simplicity of children.

Many accountants, bookkeepers, government officials, managers, and lawyers are born under the 4 Expression. You can be attracted to the arts and music, but will likely bring your love of structure and order to any artistic field. Classical music and opera are particularly appealing and inspiring for you.

You have a keen eye for detail. You have great stamina and can work conscientiously and persistently toward your goals. This eventually brings you success and standing in your community.




The Bridge numbers in your chart are the numbers that indicate how you can make the relationship between the individual core numbers in your chart easier and more compatible. Bridge numbers have the potential to "close the gap" between the Life Path and Expression number, or the Heart's Desire and Personality number.


The single digit values of your Life Path number and your Expression number are the same.

This is considered fortunate, and an opportunity to make real progress in the areas of life expressed by the repeated number.

However, if your Life Path number and your Expression number are also identical to your Heart's Desire number or your Personality number (described earlier in this reading), your chart may be somewhat off balance. This may cause you to push the aspects of the repeated number to excess. Read your Life Path again, and ask yourself if you have not focused too much on the aspects described, at the cost of a more balanced approach.

Thank You drrnwynbchnbrgr. EXCELLENT info. It's right-on, too; quite scary, really.    Much appreciated.
