Destiny Number / Soul Expression¶
The Destiny Number (also called Expression Number) is derived from the numerical value of your full birth name (as written on your birth certificate). It reveals your natural talents, abilities, and potential — the "destiny" you're meant to fulfill.
This endpoint uses the Pythagorean letter-to-number mapping (A=1, B=2, ..., Z=26) to compute the Destiny Number and returns a comprehensive interpretation.
Master Numbers: 11, 22, 33 are not reduced — returned with enhanced meaning.
