Chaldean Numerology and Pendulums, Intuition, Aura…

I don’t personally practice research with pendulums, nor do I engage with this field. However, I’ve noticed that some numerologists use pendulums as part of their work. Of course, I have no objection to people utilizing various tools to make it easier to find satisfactory solutions.

It’s crucial, though, to understand what exactly we are measuring—whether with pendulums, aura readings, or similar methods. If we think we are measuring one thing but are actually measuring something else, we commit a fundamental methodological error.

Here are some examples where such mistakes can occur when combining Chaldean numerology with aura readings, pendulums, or intuitive insights:

  • “What value does “T” have?”

 In such a question, we don’t even know if we’re measuring the vibration of the spoken sound or the vibration of the letter itself. When the letter T is pronounced individually, the emphasis on the sound can influence the pendulum to automatically align with the sound “ṭet,” which traditionally has a value of 9. Similarly, the final H might be interpreted as the sound “ḥet,” which traditionally has a value of 8.

  • “What percentage of influence does the Life Path (LP) number have in the complete numerology chart?”

I once read in a book that the LP number accounts for only about 6 or 7% of the total energy in the numerology chart. This seems surprisingly low if the chart consists solely of the full personal name number, the full surname number, the Total Name Number (TNN), birth day of the month and the LP number. However, we now understand that many other numbers in the chart contribute to its overall influence. Thus, even the TNN and the birth day of the month hold only slightly greater significance. That said, the 6–7% figure suddenly becomes meaningful.

Cheiro, who researched favorable number patterns for each birth day of the year, notably avoided focusing on the LP number, likely to simplify his system. In his book, the LP number is not mentioned, even though he almost certainly knew of it.

Personally, I lean more toward exploring concrete analyses. In my findings, the sound of the letter T holds a value of 4, and the LP number is indeed significant, though it appears slightly weaker than the birth day number or the TNN.

This does not mean I oppose the use of pendulums, aura readings, or intuition. However, we need proper grounding and a clear methodology.

Partnership between numbers 4 and 6

In Chaldean numerology, partnerships between two people are defined as a unique field of compatibility or incompatibility between numbers. This means that a) the relationship between two numbers in a partnership and b) general interaction between two numbers does not necessarily yield the same quality.

Sometimes, of course, this holds true—for example, in the relationship between numbers 2 and 9, where one partner is under the influence of number 2 and the other under the influence of number 9. If someone has the numbers 2 and 9 present in their personal numerology, this is generally incompatible. Similarly, the relationship between a person with a strong number 2 and a person with a strong number 9 can be challenging.

If ancient Chaldean numerology addressed partnerships, the records of such compatibility analyses have not been preserved, or at least I personally do not have access to such information. Some contemporary Chaldean numerologists have proposed specific approaches to understanding number compatibility in partnerships. Inevitably, there are varying interpretations of these compatibilities since this is a relatively new area of research.

The relationship between numbers 4 and 6 in a partnership implies that one partner is under the influence of number 4, while the other is under the influence of number 6. Numerologists have differing views on this connection; some see it as favorable, while others consider it more challenging.

Those who argue for a less favorable interpretation may point to the fact that the two numbers belong to different major groups. Number 4 belongs to the group 1-2-4-7, while number 6 belongs to the group 3-6-9. In personal analyses, the connection between 4 and 6 often creates challenges in partnerships and unusual emotional dynamics. It may bring excessive or karmically conditioned desires for attention and can lead to issues with health or finances.

However, a partnership where one person is influenced by number 4 and the other by number 6 should not be confused with the relationships between numbers in a personal numerology chart. My interpretation of such a relationship leans more positively. Particularly in the case of Total Name Number (TNN) and a Birth Number, the active originality of number 4 tends to align well with the receptive nature of number 6. Such a pairing tends to work more effectively when the partners engage in public spaces or media-related endeavors. Sexual compatibility is typically emphasized in this partnership.

It’s worth noting that the two numbers come from different groups, so occasional challenges may arise. When comparing the Life Path numbers of both partners, the relationship is less favorable than in other contexts, though it still brings more benefits than disadvantages.

This, however, does not hold true when the base number 6 is represented by the number 15 or its higher occurrences (69, 78, 87, and 96, whose digits all reduce to 15). In cases where any key personal numbers reveal such a relationship with 15, caution is advised. In this scenario, the relationship between 4 and 6 can bring significant challenges, trials, heavy karmic burdens, and conflict between partners. Such a couple might be recognizable by eccentric ideas, flamboyant behavior, or washing their dirty linen in public. They may also manipulate their surroundings to achieve selfish goals.

Luck exists, Luck does not exist.

People often have misconceptions about Chaldean numerology, believing that it can always provide ideal solutions through changes to their first or last name.

Many individuals have date numbers that inherently bring challenges, and in some cases, changing their name or surname cannot fully resolve these issues. Both name numbers and date numbers operate on multiple levels. When a solution is found on one level, it can sometimes disrupt harmony on another.

When selecting a name or surname, perfectionism is not advisable. An ideal solution is rarely achievable. Instead, we should aim for options that are reasonably good, even if they cannot be perfect. Some people adopt an interdisciplinary approach, attempting to align name changes with palmistry, astrology, and an analysis of how a person’s chakras and aura respond. And that’s it.

Choosing a new name or surname, or following numerological advice about which areas of life to activate, is similar to recommendations in astrology or feng shui. There is always some risk that the change will introduce complications or undesirable side effects. Moreover, such measures are generally not a magical fix but rather tools to help improve the quality of life.

This concept is similar to going to the beach and packing a swimsuit and a towel. It’s undoubtedly more comfortable to wear a swimsuit in a warm, sunny location than jeans or a blazer.

However, it’s up to us to decide how to use these tools. One person might spend the entire vacation on the beach but never swim. Another might spend all their time in the water. For both, the swimsuit and towel are useful tools for enhancing their experience. Yet another person might stay in their air-conditioned room, reading books all day. For this individual, the swimsuit probably isn’t the best solution.
