MOXIE — L’Océan Intérieur

Expression number 5: what it describes

Your expression number is calculated from every letter of your full birth name. It describes the way you naturally act — the ground you stand on without thinking about it. In MOXIE it is called the Seafloor. This page is about expression number 5.

What it describes

Your natural way of acting is to keep in circulation what would otherwise risk stagnating. The 5 carries movement at the centre of everything, and in concrete terms that shows up as a reflex to move, test, change angle as soon as a situation starts to smell of routine.

This way of acting carries a real intelligence of the present moment: you adjust your decision according to what is actually happening, now, rather than following a plan fixed in advance that no longer matches the situation. It is not inconstancy, it is the very meaning of the 5: what stops moving always ends up dying.

This talent shows itself through one precise reflex: faced with a plan that no longer works as expected, you rarely cling to it on principle, you more often change approach along the way, without it even costing you any particular effort.

I adjust to what is really happening, not to what was planned on paper.
A question to sit with

In which recent situation did you change approach halfway through, simply because reality had changed?

How it is calculated

Each letter of your full birth name — first names and surname, the name you were given at birth — is given a value from 1 to 9, following the order of the alphabet: A is 1, B is 2, and so on to I is 9, then J starts again at 1.

All those values are added together, then reduced to a single digit — except 11, 22 and 33, which are kept as they are.

Your married name, a chosen name or a nickname does not change this number. It is calculated from the name you were given.

A worked example

Take the name MARIA DIALLO. Every letter of the name is counted.

M 4 · A 1 · R 9 · I 9 · A 1 · D 4 · I 9 · A 1 · L 3 · L 3 · O 6

Added together, that gives 50, then 5 + 0 = 5 — expression number 5.
