France Pirc (born January 22, 1899) was a Slovenian military pilot and aviation major general. He became a Yugoslav military pilot. During World War II, based on false intelligence, he was lured into a trap and landed his aircraft behind enemy lines, where he was briefly imprisoned by the Germans. Due to the circumstances, he was compelled to join the air force of the Croatian fascist state, but at the same time, he secretly collaborated with the resistance movement. Eventually, he defected to the partisans with his aircraft. In retaliation, Croatian fascists murdered his wife and daughter. He had already lost another daughter before that. France Pirc was later promoted to the rank of major general.
After the war, he refused to join the Yugoslav Communist Party, which effectively ended his military career. He later served as the Yugoslav ambassador to Argentina but was recalled after he dared to criticize the Communist regime for its human rights abuses. He returned to Yugoslavia before his death, which occurred under suspicious circumstances in 1954. The cause of death was concealed from his family, which led to speculation that he had been poisoned.
From a numerological standpoint, his chart shows a strong presence of the number 4. In Chaldean numerology, 4 is typically influenced by the Sun, but can also fall under the influence of Uranus or the North Node. In Pirc’s case, his chart indicates a dominant Uranian influence, which may explain his fascination with aviation. A strong presence of the number 5 alongside the number 4 may bring influences typically found in Aquarius and Gemini, both air signs. His consonants reveal a connection between the numbers 18 and 13, which are associated with war, explosions, death, and sudden reversals.
His Total Name Number (TNN) is 65, which can represent wounds and warfare but also the potential for social advancement. Although 65 reduces to 11 and then to 2, this 2 is particularly strong, indicating he had the inner strength to overcome fear. The high concentration of 5s in his chart points to a need for movement and change.
The Uranian 4 is often linked to sudden twists of fate. The number 22 can indicate a tendency toward naivety. It was this naivety that led him into the German trap at the start of WWII. His defection to the partisans prompted the Croatian fascists to murder his wife and young daughter. The Uranian number 4 is also associated with fighting for others’ rights, and paired with 22, it likely contributed to his open criticism of post-war Communist authorities—criticism that put him out of favor with the regime. The number 4 can also govern violent or suspicious deaths, including poisonings. While it’s uncertain whether he was poisoned, the circumstances of his death strongly resonate with the themes of 4 and 65.
Numbers like 24 and 65 in his chart indicate that family was very important to him. Based on the numerical relationships in his chart, his daughters correspond to the numbers 88 (a version of the unfortunate number 16, known as “The Fallen Tower”) and 65, which is frequently linked to wounds or health issues. This combination had a negative impact on the lives of his daughters.
His wife is represented by the numbers 65, 24, and 5 in his chart. Since these numbers also appear in his Total Name Number, Goal Number, and Life Path, she held a deeply important place in his life. It’s clear that he was never able to recover from her death or that of his daughter (again, linked to 65). Although his wife’s numerology chart includes some favorable numbers, war situations dangerously activate the 65, especially when combined with the daughter’s numbers, making the outcome even more perilous for both. Naturally, much more would depend on the individual numeroscopes of his wife and daughter.
Pirc grew up in a family nicknamed Zverinovi, which also brought Uranian influence into his life. Later on, he also went by the name Franjo, which carries a numerological value similar to France.
Interestingly, a similarly extraordinary yet tragic numerological profile can be found in the chart of American war hero Desmond Doss.
