I changed my name because I am transgender. I am going through both gender transition and a spiritual awakening (that seemed to have been triggered by the former).
The universe has been sending me signals I am in the right path ever since I started my transition, and also my intuition got sharper. I always had a bit of clairsentience and claircognizance, but now I might feel physical pain if I don't ask for energetic protection before I go to certain places.

My current (new) name I chose for its meaning "good" (I wanted a name signifying something I aspire to be) and I suspect I got a little help from claircognizance or just connection with my higher self to make the choice. I say that because of what happened after: After I've been contemplating the name I chose, for nearly a month, to make sure it felt right, I was drawn to numerology again (as I did when I was a teen, thought this time deepening my knowledge in the subject). I felt compelled to see the core numbers of my new name. To my surprise, the numbers matched my birth name's perfectly (same soul urge, personality and expression).

The only difference between the two charts are hidden passions (numbers that appear the most in the letters of the name), karmic lessons (numbers that are missing in the letters of the name) and planes of expression.

I already had reasons to believe I chose this path (of a transgender experience) before I was born, and this is another indication. Maybe I chose both my male and female names carefully before I was born so that would happen. In this context, it is hard to tell which name is more important, if the birth name was chosen as temporary as a temporary hood for me to wear till I found my path. Usually the birth name is always more important but maybe not as much in this case? That makes me quite confused!

Thank you for taking your time to hear my story. If you have any thoughts about it feel free to comment.

Peace!
