# Rational Thought number calculator

The Rational Thought number combines your first name and your day of birth. Numerology reads it as the way you think problems through and reach decisions.

## How the Rational Thought number is calculated

1. Add the Pythagorean values of your first name's letters.
2. Add your day of birth, as it is (the 25th adds 25).
3. Reduce the total to one digit.

For "Maria", born on the 12th: M (4) + A (1) + R (9) + I (9) + A (1) = 24, plus 12 is 36, then 3 + 6 = **9**.
