The relationship between parents and children is one of life’s most important bonds. Every child has a unique way of expressing emotions, understanding the world, and seeking connection. Many family conflicts arise not from a lack of love, but from different needs, expectations, and communication styles.

The Destiny Matrix can be used as a symbolic tool for family reflection. It may help parents consider a child’s talents, emotional needs, challenges, and individuality while also examining their own reactions and expectations.

How to Calculate the Parent–Child Relationship Points

Whenever a result is greater than 22, add its digits until the value falls between 1 and 22.

Step 1: Point A

Point A is the birth day. Day 11 gives A = 11; day 25 gives 2 + 5 = 7.

Step 2: Point B

Point B is the birth month. July gives B = 7 and November gives B = 11.

Step 3: Point C

Add the digits of the birth year. For 1989:

1 + 9 + 8 + 9 = 27
2 + 7 = 9

Therefore, C = 9.

Step 4: Point D

D = A + B + C

Step 5: Point E

E = A + B + C + D

Step 6: Point A1

A1 = A + E

Step 7: Point A2

A2 = A + A1

What the Points Represent

  • A: what you can develop to create a close and harmonious relationship with your children.
  • A1: what your child may teach you.
  • A2: what you may receive or learn through parenthood.

Calculation Example

Birth date: November 11, 1974

  • A = 11
  • B = 11
  • C = 1 + 9 + 7 + 4 = 21
  • D = 11 + 11 + 21 = 43 → 7
  • E = 11 + 11 + 21 + 7 = 50 → 5
  • A1 = 11 + 5 = 16
  • A2 = 11 + 16 = 27 → 9
