How to calculate your Destiny Matrix by hand
You need only a date of birth, a sheet of paper and one rule: if a number is over 22, add its digits. Below are all the formulas step by step, with an example.
The main rule
The matrix has 22 energies, so every number must be between 1 and 22. If you get more, add the digits: 29 becomes 2 + 9 = 11, and 41 becomes 4 + 1 = 5.
Step 1. The four points of the personal square
On the left is the day of birth. At the top is the month. On the right is the sum of the digits of the year. At the bottom is the sum of these three. This is the straight square: it describes you.
Step 2. The center
Add all four points of the square. The center is your comfort zone, the main number of the chart.
Step 3. The family square
The four diagonal points are sums of neighbors: the top-left corner is day + month, the top-right is month + year, the bottom-right is year + bottom point, the bottom-left is bottom point + day. The top-left and bottom-right corners are the father’s line, the other two the mother’s line.
Step 4. The points on the rays
A ray runs from every corner to the center, with two more points on it. The point by the center is corner + center. The middle is corner + the point by the center. The top ray is your three talents. The bottom ray is the karmic tail, written from the center down.
Step 5. The line of love and money
Join the point by the center on the bottom ray and the point by the center on the right ray. Their sum is the balance. The love point is the bottom point by the center + the balance. The money point is the right point by the center + the balance.
Step 6. The purposes
Sky is month + bottom point. Earth is day + year. The personal purpose is sky + earth. The social purpose is the father’s line plus the mother’s line (the sums of the opposite corners of the family square). The spiritual purpose is personal + social.
Step 7. The years of life
The corners of the chart, clockwise from the left point, are the ages 0, 10, 20 … 70. The point halfway between two corners is their sum: five years into the decade. The other points in between are counted the same way: the sum of the two neighbors.
Example: Apr 29, 1988
- Day
- 29 → 11
- Month
- 4 → 4
- Year
- 1 + 9 + 8 + 8 = 26 → 8
- Bottom point
- 11 + 4 + 8 → 5
- Center
- 11 + 4 + 8 + 5 → 10
- Family square
- 15 · 12 · 13 · 16
- Talents
- 4 · 18 · 14
- Karmic tail
- 15-20-5
- Love · balance · money
- 21 · 6 · 6
- Purposes: personal · social · spiritual
- 10 · 20 · 3
