## Frequently asked questions

### What if no numbers are missing?

Then your name has no karmic lessons, and your [Subconscious Self number](/subconscious-self-number-calculator) is 9, the highest.

### Why are 7 and 8 missing so often?

Because few letters carry them, and those letters (G, P, Y, H, Q, Z) are uncommon in many languages. A missing 7 or 8 is common.

### Does a nickname change my karmic lessons?

No. Karmic lessons come from your full name at birth.
