What are Master Numbers?
Double digits of the same number, such as 11, 22, 33, 44 and 55 are called master numbers. *When someone has a master number in their destiny or name chart, or when you pull a master card, it is a very powerful energy. It is a vibration of abundance and empowerment — the ability to inspire the world with your words, your mind and your actions.
The lessons of all the master numbers are humility and integrity; letting go of oppressing the self and others; and seeing the adventure of life and all its possibilities. The master aligns with the universe, surrenders the ego and follows a path of service.
We can all experience mastery in our lives, even for a moment in time, as we truly let go and follow our passions. An art teacher of mine once said, “you know when you are in the zone when you find yourself humming.”
The Brilliance and Challenge of the Master Number
It is not always easy to hold the vibration of the master number as it is a heightened level of intensity and responsibility. So an extreme level of excitement, adventure and enlightenment could also trigger fear and even disappointment.
“The Master quality appears in the person who has an awakened awareness, and a comprehensive view or ability to access the potential of the base number.
Those who seek to recognize and realize their life purpose, and who strive to see the higher purpose behind events are examples of heightened awareness.” — Carol Adrienne
We examine below the brilliance of each master number as well as the challenges.
11/2 The master number of leadership, intuition and invention — conceiving profound ideas that have never been thought of before that can inspire and make an impact on others. The lesson and challenge of the 11 is embracing humility and altruism and be willing to convert fantasy into action.
Minister and civil rights leader, Martin Luther King, Jr. is an example.
22/4 The master arbitrator, writer, and builder uses an intuitive knowledge of relationships and structure. Their connection with others can assist in transforming and enlightening people and their environment. The challenge of 22 is to be true to your authentic self and let go of caring what others think. Television writer and producer (Grey’s Anatomy) Shonda Rhimes (born 1/13/1970) Read more about destiny 22. You have a 22 Destiny
1+1+3+1+9+7+0 = 22
33/6 The master number of dynamic creativity and service. This unique, supportive and often magical self-expression can open the eyes and hearts of others to see and feel in a different way. The challenges of thirty-three are acceptance of yourself and others; to find the willingness to go beyond your comfort zone to seek your vision. Read more about destiny 33.

In numerology, we add all the birthday numbers together to discover one’s destiny or life purpose.
6+2+2+1+9+4+9 = 33
44/8 Magnificence and manifestation. The master architect and alchemist whose leadership skills can transform an idea and structure into a powerful and life-altering accomplishment. The lesson of the 44 is to go beyond the hard work of the mundane and to see each moment as a creative challenge. The obstacle to push through might be perfectionism and humility. The innovative Swedish musician, Tim Bergling (Avicii) was born September 8, 1989 = 44/8 More about 44 and Avicii
9+8+1+9+8+9= 44
55/1 In mastery, fifty-five is an intriguing number. The five is all about energy and being present in the world with people. The 55 takes it to a vibration that is above the norm by actually transforming energy in some way and inspiring others in its transformation. A perfect example of this higher consciousness is Gandhi who used his discipline and work with metaphysical tools to move and inspire the whole nation of India into change.
The challenge is to find a quiet space, not having to be on all the time; and to let go of the mind and all your busy activity and go within. More about 55

I have a destiny (expression) number calculated from my full *name* by a reputable app. The website noted in several posts calculates it with a birthday, which can’t be correct if it is calculated with a name. As I can’t be sure which is correct, research this deeply for yourself and don’t just believe a blog post..
Hello Yo. Perhaps some of this is confusing. Some numerologist use the words ‘expression number’ for the destiny or life purpose. The life purpose is based on the sum of all the birth numbers in your birthday. Others, like myself, describe the words ‘expression number’ as the sum of all the numbers in your name. To me, the latter is simpler to understand. Here is my destiny calculator, based on the birthday. https://numerology4yoursoul.com/what-is-your-destiny-number/
To illustrate the expression number, here is Elton John. Check out how the change of his name helped his prosperity. https://numerology4yoursoul.com/rocket-man-elton-john-numerology/
Hi, I would like to share my numbers with you.
The total sums of my 3 names are 22, 33 and 44 which equal 99. My middle name (the name I go by) is made up of 11 (vowels) and 22 (consonants). I was also born on 12/30/1981 (7) @8:53am (7).
Have you come across master numbers like these before or is this common within your findings?
I do come up with master numbers quite a few times.. but these are outstanding. How are you doing in life? are you stepping out in a powerful way? Sometimes the 7 can be introverted. But if you let go and live in the journey of the nonconformist, you will thrive. Read more here about the number 7 destiny. https://numerology4yoursoul.com/what-is-your-destiny-number/destiny-7/
I keep seeing my birth date which is 29 Sep 1997 and my master number is 44 I guess.I don’t know what it means but am curious to know about this.
Hello Haris,
Actually your birthday does not add up to a 44, but a 46. Use this calculator. But you must use the US version of the way we look at the month first/ then the day of birth and then finally the birthday. Otherwise the widget calculator does not work.
Here is the calculator link: https://numerology4yoursoul.com/what-is-your-destiny-number/
So on the calculator box, put in 9/29/1997 = 46. or 9+2+9+1+9+9+7 = 46. 46/1. One is the destiny of the leader and inspirer. Do you find this true about yourself? If not, are you holding back from being in your power and taking charge?
Many blessings, Greer
Some psychics have told me he does think of me..
funny thing is.. Now I don’t see 11.15 together.
I see 11 and 15 separately. Is that weird?
Thank you for replying! I have also googled what it meant to see your birth numbers and it said that those are my angel numbers (:
As for the guy.. well we are not speaking at the moment. But i think of him a lot. Psychics have told me that we have a soul connection. maybe thats why i started seeing my birth numbers right after i met him ?
I think perhaps Vanessa, whether you are soul mates or not, you might be seeing your birth numbers either because it is time for you to move on. Or he is thinking of you. But either way, perhaps it is saying that it is time to take action in your life. And time for change. That make sense?
Amazing! I am master number 11.
I keep seeing 11.15 everywhere! which is my birthday numbers for a few months now!
After I met a guy, I started seeing these numbers, would that be a coincidence?
Hi Vanessa,
A master 11 is a powerful number as a destiny! You are the inspirer and if you meeting your highest aspect of your journey, you can really change others lives. How are you doing so far?
Seeing 11.15.. sum is an 8. all about power and success. Is this “guy” inspirational and helping you thrive in your power? Or is he someone that pushes you down? We look at the power and the shadow of the 8, especially when you keep your birthday numbers.
hope this helps!
Greer
