Calculating the Destiny Number depends on which numerology system you choose to use. There are three systems in common use at this time: Pythagorean, Gematria, and Chaldean. While each one assigns number values to letters, they vary with some letters. For example, A is 1 in all systems. Q is 8 in the Pythagorean system, 4 in the Gematria system, and 1 in the Chaldean system.
Therefore, the Destiny number of a man named Quincy would add up from the following numbers:
Pythagorean
Q = 8
U = 3
I = 9
N = 5
C = 3
Y = 7
Total of 35, reduced to 8.

Gematria
Q = 4
U = 6
I = 5
N = 1
C = 3
Y = 2
Total of 21, reduced to 3.
Chaldean
Q = 1
U = 6
I = 1
N = 5
C = 3
Y = 1
Total of 17, reduced to 8.
As it happens, the Pythagorean and Chaldean Destiny is 8, while the Gematria Destiny is 3.
The single digit number of your name reveals the energy you attract from others and the world. Knowing your Destiny Number helps you understand why people want you to play a certain role in life.
Unlike the Life Path Number which drives the individual, the Destiny Number is the pulse of energy that turns people in their direction for a specific reason, related to the number meaning of that Destiny.
The Number 5 as Your Destiny
These are the people others look to for contrary viewpoints in any situation, regularly or in a crisis. Being seen as a rabble-rouser and contrarian is their Destiny. For some individuals this will be a welcome role, for others a constant source of social discord. Nonetheless, disruption will be the recurring theme.
The Number 5 and Career
The challenge for Destiny 5 individuals is how to learn to disrupt situations and people without “breaking them”. Destiny 5 people activate change in the work environment because fellow employees and their employer perceive them as examples of unrest. Co-workers will turn to this person when they are unhappy at work and expect the Destiny 5 to join the cause.
The Number 5 and Love
Destiny 5 people attract romantic partners trying to find adventure and excitement. The romance can be egalitarian (Indiana Jones with Lara Croft), complimentary (Han Solo and Chewbacca), or very frustrated (Spider-man and Gwen Stacey). Regardless, the lesson of love is tied to the lesson of dynamic change.

Number 5 and Family
The parent or child that is a 5 can will be viewed as the black sheep of the family. It may not even be a conscious behavior on the part of other family members, they will simply look at the 5 as the family member that does not belong. This destiny works well if the individual wants to grow through conflict and embrace difference, but can be problematic if they simply want to be accepted by people who cannot or unwilling to do so.
Number 5 and Health
There will be a constant pressure to provide alternative solutions to health concerns. If a question about health comes up around a Destiny 5, then everyone will turn to the 5 and expect their answer to be something the rest will not agree with or accept. It will not matter if the Destiny 5 individual agrees or not. If they are in the room when everyone wants a consensus about health, people will naturally look towards them and expect the Destiny 5 to be the outlier.
Other Numbers and Their Importance
You also have other numerology numbers that are important and that refine your Destiny Number. No one is the pure embodiment of a number, but the Destiny Number is a foundation number (along with the Life Path and Soul Purpose numbers).
Other important and truly significant numbers include an identity number assigned by your society, like the social security number in the United States. Numbers that form your daily life are important, like your phone number numerology, or the address of you home.
How to Use Numerology in Your Life
Once you become aware of the numbers of your life, you can use them to help you succeed in your career and your relationships. If the 3 is your Destiny Number, then realize that other people will sense you as a 3 and react to you accordingly. We are all pulsing with certain energy that acts on the world and causes the world to react.
