Chaldean
Name Analysis

How to Calculate Your Numbers

First, find yourself a large sheet of paper and a pen and write your first, middle, and last names in block letters across the top of the page. Further down, write the month (1–12) and day of your birth. Leave enough room above, below, between, and beside your names for notes and additions. Above each letter in your name, note the number that it falls under on the Chaldean chart as illustrated in the following example:

J	O	H	N		A	D	A	M		S	M	I	T	H
1	7	5	5		1	4	1	4		3	4	1	4	5

Now, total each of your names individually.

J	O	H	N		A	D	A	M		S	M	I	T	H
1	7	5	5		1	4	1	4		3	4	1	4	5
=18					=10				=17

These sub numbers (18, 10, and 17) are now reduced to their single digit.

J	O	H	N		A	D	A	M		S	M	I	T	H
1	7	5	5		1	4	1	4		3	4	1	4	5
=18					=10					=17
=9					=1					=8

So we now know that John Adam Smith’s numbers are 9, 1, and 8. Follow the same procedure to reach your own set of numbers. If your sub number is still a double digit (e.g., 19/10), keep adding until you reach a single-digit number (10/1) unless it is a Master Number (11, 22, 33).

As we move through the various categories in name analysis, note each category result beneath your main name heading.

Master Numbers 11, 22, 33, etc.

If by chance, one or more of your names total to a final sub number composed of Master Numbers like 11, 22, or 33 (which I will get into later), do not reduce these to single numbers. These are higher manifestations of the regular 1 through 9 number scale and stand on their own. These are the most commonly seen Master Numbers, although they do run all the way up the number scale. (If you do happen to discover several Master Numbers in your names, you are among a rare group and will have access to elevated power sources, which will be explained later. Generally speaking, however, higher Masters are the exception rather than the rule.)

So, a first name of 11 combined with a second name of 22 will total to 33. This is the only time when the numerological law of addition does not apply. Master energies are impossible to “vibrate to” for long periods of time, so during off or down times, they will function at a lower connective level, or as what I call “quiet” numbers, like 2 (11), 4 (22), and 6 (33), respectively. But for purposes of calculating, leave these numbers as they fall and count them as final numbers.

Your Daily Name

Your Daily Name is the name you are most often called and known by and holds the most immediate impact when calculating your name energies; it is the overall energy that we project or allow others to see on a daily basis. Like the hardcover of a book, the Daily Name represents that which is seen from the outside. It is a semi-casual outer view which offers a bit of information while concealing the entire story and offering a layer of protection from damage or mistreatment.

Much will certainly be revealed through a person’s first and last names, but the inner soul, or middle name, remains securely tucked away to be shown only to a special few. (Don’t worry if you do not have a middle name or if you have more than one—that will be covered, too.)

To reach the final total for your Daily Name, simply add the digits of your first name to the digits of your last name. This will produce a combination composed of sub numbers, much as the 18 of John and the 17 of Smith form a sub number of 35. The Daily Name total for John Smith is reached by adding this sub number digit together (3+5), so his Daily Name is 8. This means that his general persona while functioning in the social realm would reflect the style of the average 8.

Your own Daily Name will reflect your general outer presentation, characteristics, personality, challenges, and interaction styles. It is not only how you choose (even subconsciously) to be seen, it is also how others see you and the manner in which they will respond to you and to your projected energies.

Sub Numbers

All sub numbers comment on the inner workings of your personality, including your natural energies and how they might best be used in this lifetime. Subs often reveal your thoughts, intuitions, natural talents, secret longings, and habits and are good indicators of the platform that will serve you best and from which you may learn the most while on your journey through this life. For example, a sub number of 35, because of its high level of physical and mental agility and change, may indicate that a career involving activity and stimulation may be favorable to one that involves sitting in one spot for eight hours. The latter scenario does not honor the need to feed the mind and body (3), nor does it honor the hunger for independence and freedom (5). Sub numbers can shed light on different areas and in different ways.

The general rule of thumb is that all subs count, however, the last sub (the one just prior to your final number) will hold the strongest message for you. If any of your names break down into more than one sub number (for example 48/12 = 3), consider the first sub number and what connections are there for you, but focus mainly on the last sub number (in this case, 12), before reaching the final name number as it often holds the most pertinent messages. Sometimes these messages will refer to actual events, sometimes they will comment on what type of job would make you happy, sometimes it will be a very personal message that will only make sense to you. All subs add different nuances and shades to the Total Name Number—they show the specific undertones of predispositions, preferences, personal needs, tendencies, unexpressed desires, and add that personal touch to your individual name energies.

What If You Don’t Have a
Sub Number in Your Name?

If by chance, one or more of your name energies totals to a single number without reaching a sub number first, this is similar in meaning as having no middle name; it means this name energy is what it is. It is upfront about who it is and what it cares about. Consider the name Mia—this name is composed of 4+1+1 and totals directly to 6. There is no
sub number. In this event, the meaning of the number in question is very true to its traditional descriptions: the number 6 is all about love and home and community, and that is where it will perform the best—doing something that is much loved, spending time with those who are much loved, and assisting within the home and community in the most effective manner. This is true for any direct single digit; the number energy reached will encompass its traditional meanings without the sometimes distracting presence of sub energies. There are rarely hidden agendas or subversive qualities, and game playing is not usually a priority. A single-digit name energy is often a clean expression of its number value.

Your Total Name Number

Your Total Name Number is exactly what it sounds like: it is the grand total of all of your names combined and includes your first, middle, and last names. The final number of these combined names will offer insights into the potentialities your energy carried upon entering this Earth plane. This is how John Adam Smith’s Total Name Number calculations look:

J	O	H	N		A	D	A	M		S	M	I	T	H
1	7	5	5		1	4	1	4		3	4	1	4	5
=18					=10					=17
=9					=1					=8

Sub#	Total Name#
45	9
18	9

John’s first sub number is 45; his second (and main) sub number is 18 and his Total Name Number is 9.

Your own grand total is the one used for assessing what your ultimate and “proper” potential is, which would be why it is also the energy that represents how we are viewed by official organizations or persons, like the government, the medical and court systems, or anything similar. Overall, though, it is indicative of what you could achieve in your life if you so choose. This is the gift Universe sent here with you—whether it is made use of or not is an individual decision, but the message of the main sub number (18 for John) is usually a nudge in the right direction. This sub number can point to what needs to be achieved, overcome, accepted, or honored before we can tune in to the Universal wavelength of our Total Name Number. (In case you are curious, John would need to investigate his own fundamental beliefs or patterns [4], and make some serious changes [5] thereto in order to overcome his need or urge [1] to feel in control [8] before he would be able or equipped to step into the rewarding, intuitive, creative, and spiritual aspects of his Total Name Number 9.)

Whole Name Numbers

Whole Name Numbers are the individual totals reached for each name much as the separate total for the name John is 9. (If you have completed your Daily Name and Total Name Numbers, you will already know your Whole Name Numbers.) Whether these number energies are connected to the first, middle, or last name, the Whole Name Number always refers to the complete addition (or the final digit, except in the case of Master Numbers) of an individual name. In the case of the first, or social, name, this energy will reflect the general essence of the image you project while out and about. The middle or “inner” Whole Name Number shows how you feel about your “self” or what your inner attitude is, while your last or domestic Whole Name Number will comment on your experiences while growing up or while married … or, in the case of a name change, which energies you linked with by doing so.

Whole Name Number calculations can serve you well in social settings when a last name is not known—the benefits of being able to determine someone’s overall social energy will become more evident as we proceed, but the point here is that any Whole Name Number, be it first, middle, or last, will outline the overall vibrational energy that is intrinsic to that name: the letters that shape the name will tell you much more about the person’s styles and tendencies.

Having said that, let’s start with a few basics, like which aspect of you each Whole Name represents.

Your First Name—Social Persona

Your first name is always a mirror of how others see you, or how you present yourself in public—the energy you carry and project and the one people respond to on a primarily social and sometimes subconscious level. This will cover work, friends, neighbors, casual dates, parties, and other social gatherings. This is the face we wear when out shopping, going to the movies, sitting on the bus, or chatting with the waitress. This is not to say that we are not being ourselves; it simply says that we all feel somewhat vulnerable and would prefer not to display the sensitive parts of our individual souls for all to see. Our social name energy is a protective shield some wear lightly and discard easily, while others wear it rigidly and rarely remove it. Our first names serve as our social introduction energy so that we may interact with others with ease. Of course, on a deeper level, it also indicates our interests, our personalities, our likes and dislikes, our habits, and our “state” in life.

Two First Names

Should someone carry two first names, that person will have a choice (usually subconscious) of two different ways of presenting themselves, or will be able to adjust their behavior more readily to different situations. On the other hand, two first names can also be an unfortunate indicator of dual characters, or two distinct and different personalities that can emerge depending on the situation, person, or emotion involved. For example, a two-namer might be the nicest guy in the world, but while you both are enjoying a lovely meal at a restaurant, his steak arrives well done, but he ordered it rare. This two-namer may then suddenly display his alter energy and embarrass you right under the table, and maybe even right out the back door of the restaurant. Such unexpected and perhaps out-of-character behaviors can easily connect back to the name that carries the more powerful vibration (like an 8) and be demonstrative of its energies.

However, the majority of us have only one first name, and even if you have two, it just makes you a more complex and enigmatic personality. If you feel uncomfortable with one of your names, trust that feeling and drop the use of it.

In a nutshell, a double first name is still reflective of your social energy, what you do with it, and how it appears and feels to others.

Your Middle Name—Inner or Soul Energy

Your middle name, as I have mentioned, is perhaps the most important energy in the entire analysis, for it reveals the truth about your inner soul. It shows hidden talents, true motivations, desires, and the level your soul is at or is trying to reach—it is like the place we all can be alone with our “self.” Often it will reveal strange shadow messages from divine realms, explain certain feelings or yearnings, or simply solve puzzles a person has been aware of but unable to put together on their own for whatever reasons. Sometimes, though, the middle name can provide invaluable validation by confirming that the direction being pursued or the path being traveled is the right one, despite the poor condition of the road. Strong spiritual encouragement gets to the heart of the matter and offers insight into the true character and into where and how each person’s unique gifts might be best utilized, both for the good of others and also for the good of the self. The inner essence often reveals insecurities, severe self-doubt, and periodic setbacks; in fact, this is where the key to freeing ourselves from “jail” is often found—it can show you what is missing from your life and which key will get you out the quickest. Here is also where personal attributes will make themselves known and usually in no uncertain terms, which can also inspire the warmth of recognition. Unacknowledged or buried strengths often come to light and are finally and happily owned.

An important link to look for involves the middle name and the energies found in your Lifepath, or day and month of birth. When connected or even identical vibrations are evident (for example, my middle name and day of birth are both 10 values), this will point to specific talents or abilities or goals that have every possibility of being realized once the ego has been accepted for what it is—the human side of the equation. You are undoubtedly familiar with one of my favorite sayings—we are spirits having a human experience and not the other way around. But the fact is that the human ego is strong, sometimes stronger than faith. Should you find this link in your numbers (and even if you don’t), know that no matter how difficult present circumstances may appear (especially if you are following your dream), honorable quests and intentions are always supported by Universe, although it can prove difficult for spirit to out-talk ego. And truth be told, this is what the entire process of analysis is about: ego versus spirit. Even the most spiritually aware suffer periodic struggles between faith and doubt; the latter promotes doubt that anything good will happen and then doubt it when it does. After all, how long can a good thing last? We doubt that we truly deserve anything good; in fact, we doubt that we are even good people. We doubt that others really understand us—and wouldn’t they run for the hills if they did? Doubt is the underminer of faith.

This is where the struggle lies—between human emotions and spiritual beliefs. Name analysis can reassure us that we do, indeed, have goodness at our core, even if it is deeply buried. Since we are spirits engaged in human experiences, we are not perfect; we do need to accept our human elements and frailties—they are an important part of us and of our lessons. This is a large part of Chaldean numerology: to accept the lessons provided us and to accommodate, absorb, and grow with them rather than waste time trying to explain away, ignore, or justify our negatives. The middle name is often home to hidden gems and revelations that can serve as catalysts to awakenings of all kinds.

Two Middle Names

Like the first name, the middle can also be composed of two or more names and this will indicate the presence of two (or more) separate energies; and since these energies are on the inside and not at a social level, this indicates the presence of two diverse energies or directions in the deep psyche. Put even more succinctly, the more middle names a person has, the more confused and confusing they may be to themselves and others because of assorted and sometimes contrary energies conflicting within. In such cases, a close look at the individual energies will usually identify a central conflict (for example, the forceful 1 may not quite jive with the tender and loving 6), which can be addressed and even resolved once recognized. Occasionally, of course, a hyphenated (first or) middle name can hold two different yet positive energies that can work quite well together. On the other hand, two inner energies can conflict with one another, in which case, dropping one or the other name can help soothe the inner fluctuations.

What If You Don’t Have a Middle Name?

The absence of a middle name can actually prove beneficial; it means you are very upfront about who you are—what you see is what you get. If you are a nasty badass, you are a nasty badass and make no attempt to hide it. Or, you can be very regal, collected, and reserved and that too will show your true nature shining through. Folks with only first and last names tend to say it like it is and appear fairly straightforward and genuine; whether that be a positive or negative will depend on the numbers, letters, and Lifepath energies connected to the name.

Your Last Name—Domestic Influence

Your last name is related to the domestic history of the family, or the male hierarchy. As such, it is of lesser import, as it comments only on the energy present when you joined the circle, so to speak, in much the same manner as the year of birth is of least import, as it merely comments on what phase the Earth was in when you made your initial appearance here. Obviously, both energies will affect a person, but are not as important as who they are, which is reflected in the first and middle names and day and month of birth. The domestic name often holds the source of major life lessons, especially if the last name is inherited from male relatives or, put another way, if it is the name you grew up with. Here is where the foundational building blocks are laid that will influence adult interactions and belief systems. These energies, however, are not you—they were already here when you arrived.

If your last name is your married name, this is reflective of the male hierarchy that originates with your husband and his ancestors and again, this is not your energy. It will, however, affect you and your family, so making yourself aware of its frequencies can assist you in communicating with your family members, especially when touchy subjects arise, such as between yourself and your spouse and even your children.

Lifepath Number

Lifepath Numbers tell you what you are here to learn, to become, to do. It will highlight the direction you are to take in order to achieve your goals or lessons while here, and it is not unusual for Lifepath lessons to introduce a few harsh learning curves, learning curves that will be repeated if the point is not taken or simply not understood. This will manifest as negative cycles that repeat themselves: some will point out your need to take responsibility; some will point out your need to honor your creativity; some will advise you against living lifestyles that are oil to your water. The possibilities are as significant and as unique as you are. Whatever the message of your Lifepath, you will find a direction therein—a confirmation of something you already suspected or a push down that road you have always wanted to investigate. If you have ever wondered why you are here, your Lifepath will help you find the answer.

The Lifepath Number is found in the combination of your day and month of birth. For example, let’s say your birthday is September 5. You would calculate it as follows:

September + 5

9 (month) + 5 = 14/5

Your Lifepath would be 5 and your sub number would be 14.

Ideally, you should be able to link one of your main names or totals to your Lifepath Number or a component thereof. This simply intensifies and focuses your energy and ability to complete your lessons while here and also comments on the more mysterious aspect of this art: it is almost inevitable that you will see repeating numbers in your own chart. Don’t worry, however, if this is not the case. While it is usually a fairly simple matter to adjust a name to line up with a Lifepath energy, a Lifepath Number that stands apart from all name energies (for instance, it is the only major number of its kind in your entire chart) is not necessarily a bad thing—it just indicates the presence of something that will need to be honored at some point in your life. For example, imagine a woman whose chart is filled with the loving number 6 essence, but her Lifepath is the driving force of number 1. This woman seems utterly domestic and devotes herself with complete focus to her home and kids for twenty-odd years before (out of the blue, her friends say) starting her own company, into which she pours the same level of devotion that she afforded her kids. In short order, her business venture becomes highly successful.

This woman had to honor the loving domesticity of the 6 in her chart as much as she did the driving force of her number 1 Lifepath.

That said, keep in mind that Lifepath Numbers can indicate a lifestyle that is already being pursued, and as such, it serves as a strong confirmation that the road you are upon is the correct one. This is usually the case when such confirmation is indeed, needed.

The flip side of the coin involves a kick-in-the-pants kind of energy. This occurs when an awakening of sorts is required. This can come in the form of something that has been submerged or subjugated, which needs to be
honored, and the Lifepath will call attention to it in no uncertain terms. Oftentimes, there will be a sense of relief and almost of having been given permission to pursue that which the heart truly desires or a wry recognition in the truth of its message.

Either way, you will know what yours is saying. It will resonate with you in a way that will be undeniable.

Your Day of Birth

The actual day you were born is also very important: it is almost like your main sub number for your Lifepath, but its message is more personal, more intimate. This is the supreme comment on the single-most influential energy that is personal to you—it celebrates your introduction. It’s like your “coming out” or debut (into reality), and its ramifications cannot be understated. If your day of birth falls in the 1 to 9 scale, those energies are fairly straightforward, as they are composed of single and fairly direct energies. If, however, your day of birth holds two digits, here is how you will read them. First, look at the initial number, which can only be a 1, 2, or 3. Ascertain the meanings for the number specific to you. Then look at the second number for its connections. And finally, look at the number that both reduce to. For example, if your day of birth is the 25th, you would consider the meanings of the 2 (the impact of couples, pairs, and relationships) and the 5 (changes, freedom, experimentation of the senses). These two energies suggest that while relationships of all kinds are important (2), they may take a back seat to the desire to explore, to travel, to chase stimulation and freedom (5). The final total of the 25 takes us to a Lifepath Number 7, which is a completely different vibe in that it rules the functions of the brain and relates to intense and investigative thought—this is an introspective and generally reserved energy. This suggests that the Lifepath will ultimately lead down a new path: one of logic, practicality, introspection, meditation, and wisdom. There is much more to the 7 than this, but we will save that for later. Suffice it to say that this example shows two opposing forces: one is changeable and even thrill-seeking (25), while the other is controlled, dignified, analytical, and possibly (depending on the development stage of the individual) mystical, imaginative, and spiritual (7). So the struggle here might be whether to allow the senses to dictate the direction of the mind or to allow the mind to dictate the direction of the senses.

When you have calculated your own Lifepath, simply apply the number meaning to your own life. Follow your intuition and the connections and messages will come.

Remember to allow yourself the time for contemplation as your brain knows all and is highly attuned to the receipt of thought-form messages. Something you read today might not connect until two days from now.

Your Current Energy Phase

Your current energy phase will indicate where you are in terms of transiting your name energy, as shown in your (first) sub number for each name; this is the number of years the energies in each name will take to pass through. Each letter holds its own nuances and characteristics, and the corresponding number value expands its meaning. When calculated, your “code” will signal the prevailing forces currently at play in your life, and by truly understanding their characteristics and tone, you will be equipped to understand and relate and possibly align yourself and your actions to these energies and use them to attain the best possible results. Here is an example of how to calculate your current energy phase, and we will use our old friend, John, once again as an example.

J	O	H	N		A	D	A	M		S	M	I	T	H
1	7	5	5		1	4	1	4		3	4	1	4	5
=18 (years)					=10 (years)					=17(years)

Let’s say John is 40 years of age. Since the main sub number of his first name is 18, we automatically know that he has transited the energies of John at least twice (18+18=36), which would leave him back at the J at the age of 37, which covers 1 year, so at 40, he would be in the 3rd year of the O letter energy. Looking at his middle name and following the same process leaves us in the last year of the M cycle while his last name completes the code with another M. So his current code is OMM or 744, which are the number values assigned to each letter. Added together, this code reduces to 15/6. Since we have already talked about the number 6, you will know that family, domesticity, community, nurturing, and love, or the lack of these elements, will be the focus for John during this energy phase and that the forces of change (15) will also play a role. Again, the way phases are read and the meanings attached will become clearer as we proceed, but in the meanwhile, follow the above pattern to uncover your own energy phase and record it for future reference.

Your Identity Initials

Here is yet another code of sorts and can be called a shorthand version of all that you are and also of the (usually) three main influences of your life, which makes sense since initials are composed of your Cornerstone energies. Follow the same method of calculation to reach your Initial energy as you did with your current energy phases: simply add the number values of your initials together, reduce them, and look at the sub number and final digit as well as the letter energies to glean more information about your complete shorthand handle. (Mine is HAL, the total of which also matches my first name number of 9.)

Try this yourself and see if your Identity Initials connect anywhere to your name chart or Lifepath number. Connections will continue to appear as you compile your various numbers and codes.

Predominant Letters

The highest quantity of repeating letters in your entire name will tell you all about the prevailing event energies that have the strongest effects for you—their influences never really abate, especially if there are four or more of one-letter energy present and more so if one or two are Cornerstones. For example, if your name contains one C, you will know that you are a natural communicator of some kind and that the urge to investigate this angle will manifest at some point in your life (count through your name in years to ascertain when a certain phase will be highlighted for you). If, however, your name contains four of these letters and one is a Cornerstone, you will know that the meaning of the C will be emphasized and will create a necessity to use your communication skills in your daily life. So, if you’ve always wanted, for example, to write music and sing or become a photographer, the multi-C would be telling you to start doing it as opposed to just thinking about it. The more repetitions, the more important the messages held in the letter (or letters) will be.

Predominant Numbers

The highest number of specific numbers in your entire name offers yet another view into your name. This one involves an energy or speed snapshot. Let’s say you have six number 1 values in your handle. It would be a safe bet to say that you are not likely to give up and throw in the towel when things get rough—you are the survivor, and survivors don’t just lie down and die. Let’s take this further and presuppose that your second-highest number quantity is the number 6: this suggests that while giving up is not an option, neither is the search for a loving and nurturing home and partner and all that this would entail. Looking at my own numbers, there are a total of seven number 1 values (four of which are in my Soul energy), which means that, thankfully, I am a survivor. There is a core energy within that will not allow me to give up or give in. I will keep going despite setbacks. What do yours say about you?

Words in Names

If by chance your name contains another name or word, the meaning of the attached sound energy often points out a subtle message. Consider my first name: it contains the words “heat” and “her,” which confirms my major issue with heat—I hate it. This peculiarity roots back to my childhood when being hot all the time earned me the nickname of “Heater.” On the other hand, as I grow older, the reverse is also becoming true; the cold bites through my bones in a way it never has before, therefore, “heat her” has taken on a whole new, and just as accurate meaning—but I still hate heat!

Look carefully at your names and be open to sub-level energy messages. If you should find some, listen to what they are saying to you. It may be nothing of major consequence, but it may also provide confirmation of peculiar details, much as my “heat” and “her” does, or, it can refer to something more important. Again, this is something that only you will truly connect with.

How to Read Your Name

Like reading a sentence, the letters in your name are read from left to right. Each letter symbol flows into the next and creates a pattern of energies. For example, let’s look at the letter energies in the word HEAT. The basic meaning for each letter is as follows: the H is a ladder that offers two different directions—up or down. The E is sheer Energy that accentuates and exaggerates, especially that which comes before it. The A creates a new and original force. The T is additional in nature; therefore, it “adds to” or “makes stronger.”

So, the word HEAT is read like this: we have a rise in something (H) that is beyond the norm (E) that creates a considerable force (A) and keeps building (T).

Taking this further, both the H and E are 5 values, which are connected to the senses and the stimulation of those senses. The A is a 1 value, which begins something new and points to survival, and the T is a 4 value, which refers to fundamental issues and includes the health of the body. We all know that HEAT involves rising temperatures that are inherently excessive and that it can easily create a heavy and almost-unbearable force, which will only get heavier as the heat increases. This HEAT can negatively impact the body and its senses, and when it soars to unbearable degrees, it can even threaten human survival.

Your name is also a blueprint. Look to the individual letter meanings and their supportive numbers for descriptives and then link those elements together. This can take some practice, but it can be done; feel the letters in your name, link them together, and trust your intuition when doing so.

The Love Thing

Have you ever wondered about the connections between yourself and your mate? Here is a way to find out about the vibrations and, indeed, the lessons and challenges that have brought the two of you together.

There are two ways to do this: the first is to add your first names together and the second is to add your Daily Names together. Your first name additions will address your personal interactions with one another while the second will comment on the likely outcome or result of your union. Each method takes both the final sub number and single digit into consideration when looking for messages.

Let’s say that your first name additions total to a 6. This would mean that the two of you respond and react to each other with loving and caring energies, but that care must be taken to avoid each becoming so absorbed in the other that individual identities are blurred. Taken further, let’s say that the combination of your Daily Names totals to a 5; this would indicate the need for freedom, independence, changes, and sensory stimulation on both sides. Needless to say, this combination can easily indicate an ultimate separation—the 5 energy is usually not overly attached to domestic bliss and routine. If, however, each partner can honor the other’s need for personal space, this union can flow with the changes of the 5 while also providing each other the safe haven of the 6.

Extended Connecting Numbers

Extended connecting numbers are to be found in a variety of areas that can include everything from the total count of the actual letters in your name to addresses and phone numbers. Write down the last four numbers in each of your landlines or cell phone numbers (the area codes and first three numbers are excluded, as the area and exchange codes are shared by many others—only the last four numbers connect directly to you). Add those numbers until they reduce to a single digit. These calculations will tell you about the energy surrounding each number. This can also be applied to your home and work address (include the street name as well, but do pay close attention to the actual numbers in the address), your Social Security/Insurance number, your driver’s license, license plate, charge card numbers (again, check online for the actual numbers that point to you; for example, one company’s card shows that the first six numbers are multiple-use and that the last one is also a reference number—hence, the nine numbers between the two are your personal account vibrations), bank accounts (again, stick to your actual account number)—any number that has a personal connection to you. See how many of those numbers correspond with numbers from your chart. If there are any number energies that do not fit, look closely at the things they represent. For instance, if a prominent number in your personal chart is a 6 (the gentle and loving domesticity), but you are living in an 8 energy home, you might be more comfortable elsewhere, as the 8 energy generally carries overtones of power, control, and authority, which can override and overwhelm a gentle 6 energy.

To be aware of the number energies that constantly surround us is revelatory in itself and often provides answers to questions one may not even be aware need asking. Take a serious look at the numbers before moving into that new house, accepting a new name (through marriage, for example), naming your child, hiring an employee, or simply picking out a new PIN number at the bank. And always remember your own numbers so you will have a point of reference.

The numbers and letters in your life affect you in direct and indirect ways. Consider even the date on which you’ve decided to begin a new project or set up that all-important meeting. Do you choose the 1st (good) or the 9th (not so good)? You want to ask that special person out for the first time? Try it on the 6th, the energy of love, rather than the 5th, which, while being an energy of communication and sensory input, is also the energy of change and non-commitment.

Chaldean numerology is a tool of many uses. It can be used to do some deep digging into your own soul or to measure the energies of others. It can offer commentaries on people, places, and things, or just tell you about the essence behind your favorite numbers.

Its uses are countless and invaluable. Just keep this book nearby and use it as a reference.

… perfect numbers, like perfect [people] are very rare …

—René Descartes (1596–1650)
