Chaldean Numerology
Chaldean numerology is the oldest numerology systems known. Chaldean numerology has
its origin in ancient Babylon. At that time, Babylon was inhabited by the
Chaldean�s. The Chaldean�s were a group of people, not just a numerology term. This
system is related to the Vedic System of India and the Kabbalah System of the
Hebrew mystics.
One big difference between Chaldean system and the Pythagorean and Kabbalah systems
is that while in Pythagorean and Kabbalah numerology you use the name that is on
your birth certificate, in Chaldean numerology you use the name that you are most
known by. This could be a nickname, a married name, or just your regular name if
that is what you are known by.
The second most important factor, after your name, is your birth number the day of
the month on which you were born. The birth day number affects the personality,
health, and other factors in Chaldean Numerology.
Your date of birth means the day of the month you were born under, for it too has
its own occult symbology and significance. Your date of birth is extremely
important because it is unchangeable and therefore a constant. A person may undergo
a series of name changes over the years because of marriage, adoption, and the
like, but the birth date remains the same.
In the Chaldean Numerology system every letter has a unique vibration and the
numbers are assigned to letters on the vibrational value and the numbers only go
from 1 to 8, and not 1 to 9 � this means the transposition of the numbers assigned
to the alphabet is different than in the Pythagorean and Kabbalah systems. In this
system, the number nine is a holy number and is separated from other numerical
vibrations, except for when it is the sum of all vibrations in question. However,
should your name or that of someone you know total 9, then the 9 remains.
The Chaldean System has largely been replaced by the Pythagorean System.

Single numbers denote what you appear to be in the eyes of others. The meanings to
the numbers 1 to 9 belong to the physical or material side of things.
Two is the pair, the duo, representing the feminine principle of receptivity, the
yin, which seeks a union of two distinct entities, thus the development of choice
began between good and evil, true and false, and positive and negative. It is
adaptable, tactful, understanding, gentle, cautious; a follower rather than a
leader. In standard Tarot Two is The High Priestess � Divine Feminine.
Four is square consciousness, representing the 4 seasons. The symbol of law, system
and order. It is firmness, security, stability and consortiums. Four is nature and
relates to the earth, therefore develops a practical nature, and through self-
discipline, binds itself to a conventional routine excretes of its energy. It is
form, work order, practicality, construction, stability, endurance, and discipline.

Five represents vital force. Five is freedom, change and adventure. Five attracts
the opposite sex because of the irresistible magnetism, and this attraction set the
stage for the domestic responsibilities. It is versatility, resourcefulness,
adaptability, change, activity, travel, adventure, promotion, and speculation. In
standard Tarot it is The Hierophant � Divine Voice.
On the sixth day, GOD made human beings. �In the image of GOD created He him, male
and female created He them,� (Genesis 1:27) Six is conscientious; it desires to
bring harmony, truth, justice and a sense of balance into its environment. Love and
compassion are uppermost in its mind, and it can therefore be an effective teacher,
counsellor or healer. Others are drawn to it because of the understanding, which
emanates from it. It is family and social responsibility, service, love,
compassion, counselling, healing, and creativity. In standard Tarot it is The
Lovers � Divine Path.
Nine contains the forces of all the other numbers. It stands for complete cycle of
growth. Nine is Selflessness and Compassion. Encompassing a love for all, it
desires to apply its energy to universal service. Nine is love, compassion,
patience, universality, tolerance, selfless service, and endings. In standard Tarot

Double or compound numbers show any hidden influences that play a role in your life
and possibly even your future.
All the numbers from 10 upwards, become compound numbers and have a meaning of
their own distinct from the root number. The meaning of compound numbers from 10
onwards belong to the more occult or spiritual side of life. Distinct symbolism has
been given to the compound numbers up to that mysterious number of 52.
12. The symbolism of this number is suffering and anxiety of mind. It is also
indicated as �the Sacrifice� or �the Victim� and generally foreshadows one being
sacrificed for the plans or intrigues of others.
13. This is a number indicating change of plans, place and such-like and is not
unfortunate, as is generally supposed. In some of the ancient writings it is said,
�He who understands the number 13 will be given power and dominion�. It is
symbolized by the picture of a �Skeleton� of �Death,� with a scythe reaping down
men, in a field of new-grown grass where young faces and heads appear crop ping up
on every side. It is a number of upheaval and destruction. It is a symbol of
�Power� which if wrongly used will wreak destruction upon oneself. It is a number
of warning of the unknown or unexpected, if it becomes a �compound� number in one�s
calculations.
14. This is a number of movements, combination of people and things, and danger
from natural forces such as tempests, water, air or fire. This number is fortunate
for dealings with money, speculation and changes in business, but there is always a
strong element of risk and danger attached to it, but generally owing to the
actions and fool hardiness of others. If this number comes out in calculations of
future events the person should be warned to act with caution and prudence.
15. This is a number of occult significance, of magic and mystery; but as a rule it
does not represent the higher side of occultism, its meaning being that the persons
represented by it will use every art of magic they can to carry out their purpose.
If associated with a good or fortunate single number, it can be very lucky and
powerful, but if associated with one of the peculiar numbers, such as a 4 or an 8,
the person it represents will not hesitate to use any sort of art, or even �black-
magic,� to gain what he or she desires.
16. This number has a most peculiar occult symbolism. It is pictured by �a Tower
Struck by Lightning from which a man is falling with a Crown on his head.� It is
also called �the Shattered Citadel�.
It gives warning of some strange fatality awaiting one, also danger of accidents
and defeat of one�s plans. If it appears as a �compound� number relating to the
future, it is a warning sign that should be carefully noted and plans made in
advance in the endeavour to avert its fatalistic tendency.
20. This number is called �the Awakening�; also �the Judgement�. It is symbolized
by the figure of a winged angel sounding a trumpet, while from below a man, a
woman, and a child are seen rising from a tomb with their hands clasped in prayer.
This number has a peculiar interpretation; the call to action, but for some great
purpose, cause or duty. It is not a material number and consequently is a doubtful
one as far as worldly success is concerned. If used in relation to a future event,
it denotes delays, hindrances to one�s plans, which can only be conquered through
the development of the spiritual side of nature.
21. This number is symbolized by the picture of �the Universe�, and it is also
called �the Crown of the Magi�. It is a number of advancement, honours, elevation
in life and general success. It means victory after long initiation and tests of
determination. It is a fortunate number of promise if it appears in any connection
with future events.
22. This number is symbolized by a �a Good Man blinded by the folly of others, with
a knapsack on his back full of Arrows�. In this picture he appears to offer no
defence against a ferocious tiger which is attacking him. It is a warning number of
illusion and delusion, a good person who lives in a fool�s paradise; a dreamer of
dreams who awakens only when surrounded by danger. It is also a number of false
judgment owing to the influence of others. As a number in connection with future
events, it is a warning and its meaning should be carefully noted.
23. This number is called �the Royal Star of the Lion.� It is a promise of success,
help from superiors and protection from those in high places. In dealing with
future events it is a most fortunate number and a promise of success of one�s
plans.
24. This number is also fortunate; it promises the assistance and association of
those of rank and position with one�s plans; it also denotes gain through love and
the opposite sex; it is a favourable number when it comes out in relation to future
events.
25. This is a number denoting strength gained through experience, and benefits
obtained through observation of people and things. It is not deemed exactly
�lucky�, as its success is given through strife and trials in an earlier life. It
is favourable when it appears in regard to the future.
26. This number is full of the gravest warnings for the future. It foreshadows
disasters brought about by association with others; ruin by bad speculations, by
partnerships, unions and bad advice. If it comes out in connection with future
events one should carefully consider the path one is treading.
29. It is not a fortunate number for the indication of future events. This number
indicates uncertainties, treachery, and deception of others; it foreshadows trials,
tribulation, and unexpected dangers, unreliable friends, and grief and deception
caused by members of the opposite sex. It gives grave warning if it comes out in
anything concerning future events.
31. This number is very similar to the preceding one, except that the person it
represents is even more self-contacted, lonely, and isolated from his fellows. It
is not a fortunate number from a worldly or material standpoint.
32. This number has a magical power like the single 5, or the �command� numbers 14
and 23. It is usually associated with combinations of people or nations. It is a
fortunate number if the person it represents holds to his own judgment and
opinions; if not, his plans are likely to be wrecked by the stubbornness and
stupidity of others. It is a favourable number if it appears in connection with
future events.
33. This number has no potency of its own and consequently has the same meaning as
24 � which are also a 6 � and the next to it in its own series of �compound�
numbers.
34. Has the same meaning as the number 25, which is the one next to it in its own
series of �compound� numbers.
35. Has the same meaning as the number 26, which is the one next to it in its own
series of �compound� numbers.
36. Has the same meaning as the number 27, which is the one next to it in its own
series of �compound� numbers.
37. This number has a distinct potency of its own. It is a number of good and
fortunate friendships in love, and in combinations connected with the opposite sex.
It is also good for partnerships of all kinds. It is a fortunate indication if it
appears in connection with future events.
38. Has the same meaning as the number 29, which is the one next to it in its own
series of �compound� numbers.
39. Has the same meaning as the number 30, which is the one next to it in its own
series of �compound� numbers.
40. Has the same meaning as the number 31, which is the one next to it in its own
series of �compound� numbers.
41. Has the same meaning as the number 32, which is one next to it in its own
series of �compound� numbers.
51. This number has a very powerful potency of its own. It represents the nature of
the warrior; it promises sudden advancement in whatever one undertakes; it is
especially favourable for those in military or naval life and for leaders in any
cause. At the same time it threatens enemies, dangers and the likelihood of
assassination.
We have now completed the 52 numbers which represent the 52 weeks of our year.
The meanings of the numbers in the Chaldean system are similar to the meanings in
the Kabbalah and Pythagorean. All numbers, regardless of which system you use,
will have very similar meanings, characters, symbols, and general nature.
