# Hidden Passion number calculator

Your Hidden Passion is the number that appears most often among the letters of your full birth name. Numerology reads it as a talent you keep coming back to.

## How the Hidden Passion is found

1. Give every letter of your full birth name its Pythagorean value from 1 to 9.
2. Count how often each number appears.
3. The number with the highest count is your Hidden Passion. When two or more numbers tie, all of them are.

In "Maria Garcia", 1 (the four As) and 9 (two Rs and two Is) each appear four times, so the Hidden Passion is **1 and 9**.
