The Chaldean Formula for Personal Years, Months, and Days?

In Pythagorean numerology, the Pythagorean technique for predicting personal years, months, and days has become firmly established. This technique starts with the day and month of birth. The current year is then added to this base to obtain the personal year number. Next, the current month is added to the personal year to produce the personal month number. Finally, by adding the current day to the personal month, we arrive at the personal day number.

Unfortunately, my experience with this technique has not been very positive—and I am putting that very mildly. I do, however, understand why this prognostic approach became so popular. It promises the calculation of a specific number for every single day, month, or year, which is, of course, extremely appealing to professional numerologists.

It is therefore not surprising that many Chaldean numerologists also use it. Modern Chaldean numerology is somewhat on the defensive here, as Cheiro steered it toward finding connections with palmistry and astrology and did not trust Pythagorean ideas of this kind. As a result, the Pythagorean system overtook the Chaldean one in numerological forecasting sometime between 1925 and 1931.

In Chaldean numerology, personal influences are primarily focused on the day of birth and not on the month number. Fundamental personalized influences can therefore be obtained by starting from the day number without taking the birth month into account. We add the digits together, which also allows us to evaluate compound numbers. In this way, we obtain a kind of “Chaldean” personal year, month and day:

Personal Year = day of birth+ current year
Personal Month = personal year + current month
Personal Day = personal month + current day

The numbers obtained in this way show a higher correlation with an individual’s life compared to the Pythagorean approach. Even so, they are still rather weak numbers, unfortunately.

We should also not forget the technique in which the Total Name Number is combined with the current year, producing a special Chaldean form of the personal year. However, in this approach, it appears that we cannot continue on to the personal month and then to the personal day.
