What should we do in Chaldean numerology if a first name or surname reduces to a value below 10? Does that mean it carries no special meaning compared to compound numbers? The Danish (post-Chaldean) school approaches this with a method they call augmentation.
Others, however, take the name exactly as it is. I follow this second approach: even if a first name is a single digit, I don’t add anything to it. That name still has its own unique vibration—similar to how Tarot cards from I to IX carry distinct symbolic meaning.
What matters more is how the Total Name Number (TNN) is formed by adding the reduced values of the first name and surname into a complete number.
For example:
- Al Snow → AL = 1+3 = 4; SNOW = 3+5+7+6 = 21 → 3.
- 4 + 3 = 7, not a compound number!
Now we check the day of birth. If Al was born on the 3rd of the month, then 7 + 3 = 10. This is not the TNN itself, but it becomes a very active (compound) number, often even stronger than the TNN. However, this only works if the birthday is between the 1st and the 9th of the month.
If the birthday falls after the 9th, this method doesn’t apply. Still, the TNN is active in the background, since it is always created as a two-digit number from the full values of the name and surname. In this case: 4 and 3 combine to form 43 (with an additional influence from 4 + 21 = 25).
If the birthday is the 10th or later in the month, and the sum of the reduced first name and surname is below 10, we can move to the next step by adding the unreduced values of the first name and surname.
For Al Snow: 4 + 21 = 25. But the leading number still remains 43, created by combining the unreduced values of the name and surname.

Your posts provide a great in-depth analysis and they’re fun to read! I’m enjoying them so much so far. I know you follow the approach of following calling name instead of legal name, but what is your opinion on others saying Chaldeans hid their legal name to hide their true destiny? Did they really hide it or is this unfounded?

Thank you. 🙂 Apparently, the Egyptians used to keep their true names hidden as well. I don’t really have an opinion on that, since those are stories from another time. But maybe we all have a true name beyond this dimension… and perhaps this dimension isn’t the kind where one should reveal their inner treasures openly. Just a quick thought on the matter…

makes me wonder, if we go for a name change, is it important to legally register it? Or letting people use our new name enough?

If you legally change your name, the shift integrates into the “official” collective matrix. However, there are plenty of cases where people haven’t changed their official name, yet everyone calls them by a nickname. In such cases, that influence is usually even stronger.
