Chaldean Numerologist: Lloyd Strayhorn

Lloyd Strayhorn is an American numerologist and astrologer known for his numerology book Numbers and You: A Numerology Guide for Everyday Living. The first editions of this book were published around 1980. In it, he primarily advocates Chaldean numerology (based on Cheiro method), although he also uses it alongside Pythagorean numerology. So, a part of the book is also dedicated to the latter system. Lloyd Strayhorn has been present in the American public for over 40 years and has influenced many Chaldean numerologists.

In the mentioned book, he identified which numbers govern certain sports, musical instruments, and gifts based on Chaldean calculations of individual words. This approach was likely adopted from some Pythagorean numerologists and, in my opinion, is largely misguided. It overlooks the universal vibration of a sport, instrument, or gift.

More interesting are his studies on the connection of numbers with specific zodiac signs and numbers, compatibility between partners’ numbers, the relationship between numbers and sexuality, the dynamics between parents and children, the connection between numbers and childbirth, and similar topics. In this book, Strayhorn also mentions a special Rosicrucian approach to life cycles, where the year is divided into 7 periods of 52 days each. Interestingly, in this book, he does not address compound numbers.

He also attempts to establish the principle of a personal week. He supports the Pythagorean approach to universal and personal years, months, and days. I won’t say that this approach has no influence, but my research on days, months, and years has led me to the conclusion that this Pythagorean method yields, at best, very weak results.

His descriptions of relationships between numbers slightly differ from those of Cheiro. Like Gerun Moore, he created his own table of lucky numbers for each day of the year (while Gerun Moore speaks of key numbers). In his book Lloyd’s Numbers and You Relationship Guide: A Cosmic Way To Better Understanding, in the chapter on relationships (Chapter Two), he slightly diverges from the usual approach in Chaldean numerology. In some cases, I use similar approaches myself, but some solutions leave me surprised and skeptical.

Unfortunately, I don’t have data on his birth date, but we can look at his numerological chart based on his name and surname. In my calculation of vowels and consonants, you may also notice from other examples that I treat the letter Y as a consonant. Personally, I believe that treating this letter in this way yields the best results in analysis.

We particularly notice a multitude of numbers that add up to base numbers 3, 6, and 9. This is a triad of powerful numbers that often bring material success or an interest in business, the ability to manifest, or spiritual interest. The placement of numbers 24 and 15 (78; 7+8=15) is such that it brings a sense of communication, public presence, and performance. Lloyd Strayhorn has written several books and also appears in the media. The occult search is brought about by the numbers 7, 78, 30, 39, 11 and 22, and probably also by the heavenly 7 in the vowels.

Although much depends on his birth numbers, a significant feature of his name and surname numerological chart is that the energies can work in a positive or negative direction, depending on what Lloyd Strayhorn chooses. Recommendations for him include: no manipulation (78), balanced help to others, tithing, and praying to God. In this way, numbers like 93 (and 12; 9+3=12) and 15 are balanced. The name Lloyd Strayhorn can bring certain complications, unfortunate circumstances, or an undesired sacrifice in life. However, it can also lead to a higher purpose, good deeds, and inner fulfillment.
