Although representatives of the Danish school consider themselves custodians of Chaldean numerology (IPA: kælˈdiːən ˌnuːməˈrɑːlədʒi) this school developed only in recent decades and differs in many respects from the “Chaldean” or Hebrew tradition. Its approach has an almost mathematical appearance, with clearly defined structures and relationships between them. This makes it particularly well suited to the development of computer applications. Over the past decade, despite the unusually high tuition fees charged for its courses, the school has experienced a veritable stampede of interest. Well-known representatives of this numerological system include Millicent Rosamunde, Novalee Wilder, August Darius Danielsson (August Martin Mogensen), also Johannes Ehwas, and Estel Ehwas.
The influence of this school is growing very rapidly, and Chaldean numerologists cannot afford to overlook its presence. We are increasingly being asked about it by people who visit the school’s websites and use its calculators to generate numeroscopes. Naturally, these people then see that representatives of the Danish school call themselves Chaldean numerologists, and confusion quickly arises. “Why did you calculate a different number for my surname than the one calculated by the online numeroscope? Why didn’t you mention my ‘aura’ numbers? Where did you get that number when examining my time chart, when my annual rank indicates the presence of entirely different numbers?” Such questions can become rather annoying.
Sometimes a concrete example can explain more than lengthy discussions. Let us examine the numeroscope of Jan Kefer, a Czech astrologer, Kabbalist, magus, alchemist, publicist, librarian, and Hermeticist.

The Nazis imprisoned him in a concentration camp, where he died at the age of 35. He was born on January 31, 1906. Many twentieth-century Chaldean numerologists like Cheirowould have calculated only the basic name vibrations, 7 and 22, followed by the Total Name Number (TNN), 11 (or 29 or 74). They would, of course, also have included the significance of his birthday, which is 31. Montrose, who was active in 1940, would have added the Life Path number and the vowel and consonant levels as well. The basic numeroscope for Jan Kefer looks like this:
The combination of the numbers 7, 4 (31, 94, 22), and 74 directed him toward the occult. The numbers 11 and 74 are Moon numbers which, under certain conditions, can govern the public and communication. Later in life, sometime after the age of 32, the vibrational key 3 becomes more strongly activated, although it is not compatible with his name chart. One of his Goal numbers is 94, a variant of 13, the number of “Death,” while his initials produce the number 12, which can function as the number of the “Victim/Sacrifice.” The number 12 also appears among the consonants of his surname. His chart indicates that wartime could threaten his life. The relationship between 63 and 94 is one between physical existence and death/transformation; the relationship between 63 and 31 can cause accidents and violence; and the relationship between 12 and 22 in his surname, together with 12 in his initials, points toward some form of victimhood. Practicing black magic can bring karmic consequences and make the whole situation even worse. It is said that Jan Kefer attempted to kill Hitler through black magic. In the end, it was the Nazis who caused Kefer’s own death, while Hitler lived for some more years.
We can introduce the Danish school’s concept of hybrid numbers into the numerological chart. These numbers serve as substitutes for personal first names and surnames whose letter totals are below 10. The method consists of adding the vibrational key of the birth-day number to the number of the first name or surname when that name total is below 10. In Kefer’s case, we obtain a first-name number of 11 (J, 1 + A, 1 + N, 5= 7; vibratory key of 31 is 4; 7 + 4 = 11) and a TNN of 24. The number 24 is hardly a number associated with occultists. Its connection with numbers whose vibrational keys are 3 and 9 suggests that the later part of his life, sometime after the age of 32, should generally have been more successful than the earlier part. However, dying in a concentration camp can hardly be regarded as a sign of success in life.
Danish numerologists would also calculate a special numeroscope in the form of a diamond chart:
In this chart, they would obtain the “aura” numbers 6, 8, 8, and 10. “Auras” are special numbers characteristic of the Danish school. They would also obtain two additional numbers for the upper and lower centers, which in this case are 14 and 9. I have no objection to using and researching these numbers, along with several others. However, numerology, like many other approaches, requires us always to return to its traditional foundations. The life and fate of Jan Kefer are already described reasonably well by traditional Chaldean numerology. The same is true of many other numeroscopes. I therefore see no need to replace the traditional approach with that of the Danish numerology school.
Another distinctive feature of the Danish school is its considerable relativity in the interpretation of numbers. The school is rather “psychologically oriented” and looks for both positive and negative aspects in almost every number. According to its numerologists, only the relationships between numbers can indicate whether a particular number operates more fortunately or less fortunately.
I should also mention another awkward aspect of Danish Kabala. When the letters of a first name or surname do not add up to 10 or more, and the birthday is unknown, it is practically impossible to construct any numeroscope at all. Another famous Czech whose name was Jan was Jan Hus. We do not know his birthday, and the Danish school is therefore unable to interpret his numeroscope.
In this article, I focus on the continuity of three major numerological schools in the West. I am therefore interested in the historical framework within which these approaches developed. The article does not address which of the systems described is better or worse, which is more suitable for use in the modern world, or which produces more valid results.
A. THE WESTERN SYSTEM
Original Pythagorean numerology emerged no later than the fifth century BCE, certainly by the time of Philolaus, a successor of Pythagoras. The subjects studied included:
The use of the Greek alphabet and its alphanumeric coding (at least among the Neopythagoreans).
Even and odd numbers.
Triangular, square, and oblong numbers.
Specific meanings of numbers: for some, 5 was considered the number of marriage, while 7 was the number of infertility and virginity. Particular emphasis was placed on the number 10, which was regarded as a special number—the (principal) tetractys.
Modern Pythagorean numerology is a system based on assigning numbers to letters according to their order in the Latin alphabet. In the nineteenth century, this system began to be called Pythagorean. Its modern version emerged between 1903 and 1908 through the work of L. Dow Balliett and Aso-Neith Cochran. The system acquired a reasonably systematic form in 1931 with the publication of Florence Campbell‘s book. Juno Jordan was also an important numerologist in this school.
Some refer to this numerological approach as the Western system or Western Kabbalah. Within this system:
The Greek alphabet is not used for coding. Instead, the system is based on the Milesian system of numerical coding, adapted to the contemporary Latin alphabets. There is therefore a departure from ancient Pythagorean numerology. In addition, modern numerologists adapting the Greek alphabet should explain the vibrations assigned to the Latin letters E and O.
A distinction between even and odd numbers is maintained, preserving continuity with ancient Pythagorean numerology.
Special numbers such as triangular, square, and oblong numbers are generally not used, representing a break with ancient Pythagorean numerology.
The meanings of numbers sometimes correspond to ancient meanings (for example, the association between justice and the number 8) and sometimes diverge from them (7 is sometimes treated as the number of marriage). The emphasis on the number 10 has been largely abandoned, while attention has shifted to the “master” numbers 11 and 22, which did not interest the ancient Pythagoreans. We can therefore speak of considerable discontinuity with ancient Pythagorean numerology.
By my rough estimate, modern Pythagorean numerology or Western system/Western kabaladeparts so extensively from the ancient system in at least70% of its approach that the use of the name “Pythagorean” is certainly unjustified. It is a new numerological system that has managed to spread widely throughout the world over the past century.
B. THE CHALDEAN OR HEBREW/JEWISH SYSTEM
So-called Chaldean numerology (IPA: kælˈdiːən ˌnuːməˈrɑːlədʒi), also referred to as older Hebrew/Jewish numerology, emerged no later than the fourth or third century BCE. In Judea, practitioners studied:
The use of two local variants of the Aramaic alphabet and their alphanumeric coding. One of these two scripts is the square script. The other is the so-called “Chaldean” script, which Jews supposedly began using in Chaldea/Babylonia.
Specific meanings of numbers.
Specific relationships between numbers.
At least two systems for associating numbers with planets.
Modern Chaldean numerology, sometimes also called the Hebrew system or Hebrew Kabala, began to develop through the tarot tradition in the fifteenth century and, above all, through the work of French numerologists in the second half of the twentieth century. It reached its peak with Cheiroin the 1920s and 1930s. Interest in it subsequently declined considerably around the world. During this difficult period, Gerun Mooreand Linda Goodman developed their respective approaches. To understand modern Chaldean numerology correctly, it is necessary to examine the numerological systems of all three of these authors. Only in recent years has the system of older Hebrew numerology begun to regain recognition.
There are historical exceptions in certain places. In India, for example, this numerological system has been popular for decades. The system has also been popular in Slovenia for more than three decades. In the 1990s, books were published there by Lorena Leonardos (formerly known as Naca Jermanj), who represents Gerun Moore’s school, and Bono Baršek, who builds on Linda Goodman’s school. In this millennium, several other Chaldean numerologists have also been active in the Slovenian numerology market, including Emily Enveritas (formerly known as Taja Veroti- Tjaša), Dan Sovina, Darja Bohiinc, Romana Pogorelčnik, and some others.
Today, so-called “Chaldean” numerology has almost no connection with the interpretations of numbers used in Babylonia (Chaldea). On the contrary, it actually derives from an old tradition of Judea and its surrounding region. This tradition must not be confused with the later Jewish Kabbalah, which emerged only between the third and sixth centuries CE.
Within this system:
In the West, Chaldean numerologists developed two main methods of coding the Latin alphabet using the values of the Aramaic or Hebrew script. The two methods differ in how they assign values to the letters C, H, and X. More or less, continuity with the ancient alphanumeric coding has been preserved.
The so-called “Chaldean” script, as a type of Jewish script, may have contributed to the wider use of the modern term “Chaldean numerology.”
Modern Chaldean/Hebrew numerology has largely preserved the specific meanings of numbers from antiquity.
Specific relationships between numbers are also represented in ways similar to those found in antiquity.
At least two systems for associating numbers with planets, which are key to this numerological system, have been adopted in their entirety from the ancient system.
By my rough estimate, modern Chaldean numerology preserves continuity with the older form of Jewish or Hebrew numerology in at least 90% of its approach. It is therefore rightly considered a Hebrew system, and the term “Chaldean” can be used for it with certain reservations. The label “Chaldean” is nevertheless somewhat unfortunate because it suggests a connection with Babylonian numerology, which differed in many respects. For example, the numbers 19 and 21 were considered unlucky in Babylonia, whereas among the Western Semites (“Chaldean numerology”) they were regarded as lucky.
C. THE DANISH SYSTEM OF POST-CHALDEAN NUMEROLOGY
I do not have information establishing exactly when Danish numerology, which takes the form of post-Chaldean numerology, first appeared. However, it was certainly present before 2014. This school is characterized by the following features:
It uses the same alphanumeric coding as Chaldean numerology.
It includes specific meanings assigned to numbers.
It uses hybrid substitutes for first names and surnames when the sum of the letter vibrations in a name is less than 10.
It uses a diamond-shaped numeroscope
Middle names (a second given name and the first surname) are placed in the center of the diamond, while the first given name and the final surname occupy the middle vertices of the diamond.
In its treatment of numerical relationships, great emphasis is placed on which number is produced by the two numbers in question.
It uses the Chaldean system of associating numbers with planets.
This school makes it possible to construct clearly structured numeroscopes in which numbers are arranged according to precisely defined relationships. This “mathematical” clarity is compatible with the rise of the information society and has enabled the development of online platforms, particularly over the past 13 years. In this way, it has provided many students with a simplified process for preparing a numeroscope and given them a sense of “scientific validity,” transparency, and reliability. One consequence of this development has been the proliferation of expensive courses successfully marketed by the Danish school. One could say that a numerology for the wealthy students has emerged.
Who are the leading Danish numerologists today? One example available online is the numerologist Millicent Rosamunde, who advocates the “classical” Danish school. Since 2014, new sub-branches have been developing. These include August Darius Danielsson (who also uses the name August Martin Mogensen), who expanded the numeroscope with additional structures. He may have been the one who introduced year ranks and day ranks when analyzing the future. Johannes and Estell Ehwas developed a numeroscope similar to Danielsson’s, but with additional structures.
The historical continuity of this school can be evaluated as follows:
It uses the same alphanumeric coding as Chaldean numerology, specifically Cheiro’s approach. Continuity with ancient alphanumeric coding has been preserved.
Modern Chaldean/Hebrew numerology has largely preserved the ancient meanings of numbers up to 52. For higher numbers and in the detailed treatment of other numbers, deviations from the ancient tradition occur.
The use of hybrid substitutes for first names and surnames represents a major departure from tradition. Historical examples of names with values below 10 indicate that, apart from in modern Denmark, this approach has not appeared in the known historical record.
Diamond charts are probably a new development with no older tradition behind them.
The special treatment of middle namesis a new development that cannot be linked to the older tradition.
In its treatment of numerical relationships, the Danish school sometimes departs from tradition.
Its system of associating numbers with planets derives from the old tradition.
By my rough estimate, this school retains only about 50% continuity with the tradition of Chaldean, or older Hebrew, numerology. Although it refers to Cheiro, I therefore do not consider it appropriate to use labels such as Chaldean or Hebrew numerology for this school. I use terms such as the Danish school or Danish post-Chaldean numerology instead.
D. CONTINUITY BETWEEN THE SYSTEMS
We have already discussed the differences between Pythagorean and Chaldean numerology (Articles1 and 2). From the perspective of continuity between the two systems, modern Western numerology, which presents itself under the misleading name “Pythagorean,” developed only about 120 years ago in the United States and Great Britain.
Modern “Chaldean” numerology also uses a somewhat misleading name, but it developed more than 2,300 years ago in Judea and probably in the surrounding region as well. The Danish school is closer to older Hebrew numerology than Western numerology is to original Pythagorean numerology.
Although the Danish school has been gaining considerable popularity in recent years, it is nevertheless a school in its own right and represents the youngest of the three systems discussed here. Its foundations were established only in recent decades.
In Chaldean numerology (IPA: kælˈdiːən ˌnuːməˈrɑːlədʒi), the Total Name Number (TNN) and the Birth Number (the day of the month on which a person was born, such as the 17th) are generally regarded as the two strongest numbers in the numerological chart. Individual days of the month are already mentioned in the Bible. Both numbers have approximately equal strength.
First names and surnames are generally considerably weaker, although the first name is usually somewhat stronger than the surname. Much depends on whether people primarily address us by our first name or by our surname.
The Life Path Number is also powerful. Opinions about its strength, however, differ. Some numerologists deny its significance altogether (e.g., Cheiro), while others regard it as a key date number (e.g., Montrose). It appears to be somewhat stronger than the first name and surname, but weaker than the TNN and Birth Number.
The Bridge Number of the initials, the Goal Number between the Birth Number and the TNN, and the number formed by all the consonants have approximately the same strength as the numbers of the first name or surname. Vowel numbers, by contrast, are weaker than consonant numbers.
Many Chaldean numerologists are allergic to the use of vowels and consonants and regard them as innovations introduced by modern Pythagorean numerology. In my opinion, these numerologists are making a serious mistake. Instead of engaging in an ideological battle against Pythagorean numerology, it would be better to examine actual numerological charts and determine the rules governing the use of these numbers within the Chaldean numerological system. Readers can look at the many short numerological analyses on my blog and form their own opinion about the influence of vowel and consonant numbers.
The consonant and vowel numbers within a first name or surname are indeed very weak in themselves. However, they acquire greater significance when they connect with other numbers. For example, the 3-5-8 chain can, under certain circumstances, represent “money numbers”; 1-3-9 can bring greater masculinity and decisiveness; the combination 2-5-8 can create excessively strong emotions and fears; and the 2-3-5 chain can be associated with purification practices, children, and moral development.
For the time being, I do not practice numerology as a form of business consulting. Even when it comes to friends, however, I am reluctant to suggest that they adopt new first names or surnames. This is a very serious responsibility, and in addition, the new name must actually appeal to the person who will bear it. Even the best practitioners can find it extremely difficult to come up with a suitable name.
In Chaldean numerology, the number 71 is considered unfortunate. In the Chaldean Tarot, the Three of Pentacles, which represents this number, is called the “Reaper.”
In the divinatory Tarot, as it developed from the time of Etteilla onward, 71, or the Three of Pentacles, represents a favorable card. It brings advancement, position, and honors, or it may symbolize children. We must bear in mind, however, that the divinatory Tarot does not follow the Chaldean tradition in its treatment of the Minor Arcana.
The interpretation within Kabbalistic astrology, which represented an unusual phase in the development of Chaldean numerology, is different. It incorporates the nature of Arcanum XIII. Pentacles represent money, investments, and potentially business. Because Pentacles are the final suit in the Tarot, they may also represent health problems. When the suit of Pentacles is combined with the concept of Arcanum XIII, this indicates difficulties involving money, investments, business and health, despite possible initial success. Sepharial also added executive powers to these meanings.
Since XIII can sometimes represent transformation and progress rather than death, we cannot know in which direction the path of destiny will take a person. The path is not necessarily always so difficult. It may represent money invested wisely or money spent beneficially, as well as an opportunity for recovery and regeneration. At least, this is what can be inferred from the Chaldean Tarot, although the traditional interpretation unfortunately does not support such a reading. In principle, for a 71 person to achieve wise and effective management of money, a great deal of effort is required.
In any case, it is important to point out that 71 is NOT the same as 17. Among modern Chaldean numerologists, a rather strange habit has become widespread: when dealing with numbers above 52, they simply reverse the digits. Yet these learned masters should then explain why, for example, 21 does not have the same meaning as 12, why 31 does not have the same meaning as 13, why 32 does not have the same meaning as 23, why 52 does not have the same meaning as 25, and so on.
Therefore, 71 is generally not a number associated with public recognition or even fame. If a person with 71 puts a great deal of effort into a public career or public appearances, this can sometimes be achieved. However, 71 has to invest considerably more effort and time than 17 in order to achieve it.
The number 71 is quite high. As a rule, it does not occur in a personal name or surname. Nor do the totals of first names and surnames frequently produce such a high number. However, Bridge Numbers can create this number quite easily, which is why it is useful to understand its meaning.
In Chaldean numerology (IPA: kælˈdiːən ˌnuːməˈrɑːlədʒi), certain numbers are traditionally classified as masculine or feminine. However, this distinction should not be understood too rigidly. Like all archetypal symbols, numbers rarely express a single quality in a pure and isolated form.
The numbers 1, 3, and 9 are generally considered masculine. Yet both 1 and 9 also symbolize wholeness and completion, qualities that encompass both masculine and feminine principles. For this reason, neither number can be regarded as exclusively masculine.
At first glance, this appears to leave 3 as the only truly masculine number. Even here, however, the symbolism is more nuanced. While 3 typically expresses itself through active, outward-moving, and traditionally masculine qualities, its deeper or formative nature may also contain a receptive, feminine dimension. Interestingly, in the Tarot the number 3 is represented by The Empress, one of the most prominent feminine archetypes.
A similar complexity can be found among the feminine numbers. Although 2 and 6 are generally associated with feminine energy, the number 2 is not entirely feminine in character. It also carries a subtle masculine component, a fact that becomes clearer when we examine the symbolic relationship between the Sun and the Moon.
In the ancient cultures of the Mediterranean and Mesopotamia, agricultural rhythms were influenced as much by the lunar cycle as by the changing seasons. Because growth, fertility, and cyclical renewal were linked to the Moon, these cultures often associated the Moon with the feminine principle. The Sun, in turn, was frequently viewed as the masculine counterpart or companion of the lunar goddess. This symbolic relationship became deeply embedded in later astrological and numerological traditions.
In the more northern regions of Europe and Asia, however, seasonal changes played a much greater role in agricultural life. Here, the Sun was seen as the primary source of fertility and renewal. As a result, some cultures revered the Sun as a feminine deity, while the Moon assumed a masculine role. Traces of this symbolism can still be found in Slavic traditions, where the Moon is linguistically masculine and the Sun occupies a different grammatical category.
These differing traditions remind us that the Sun and the Moon are not strictly masculine or feminine symbols. Rather, each contains aspects of both principles and derives meaning through its relationship with the other. The same pattern appears in numerology. The solar number 1 contains traces of feminine energy, while the lunar number 2 contains traces of masculine energy.
Numbers 4 and 7 represent an even more blended expression of these forces. Since 4 follows the solar number 1, it reflects a softened form of masculine energy. Likewise, 7 follows the lunar number 2 and therefore expresses a more moderated form of feminine energy. In this sense, both numbers occupy a middle ground, combining and balancing qualities traditionally associated with both polarities.
Chaldean numerology does not recognize the master numbers 11 and 22. Although certain older European numerological writings hinted at the special nature of these numbers, even Pythagorean numerologists did not use them until relatively recently — at least not before the notorious and controversial numerologist Aso-Neith Cochran (Asenath Williams Woodcock Cochran) in the early 20th century.
After Cochran elevated the numbers 11 and 22 to a special status, her ideas were adopted by the even more famous Pythagorean numerologist L. Dow Balliett (actually Sarah Joanna Dennis Balliett). Around Balliett gathered a strong circle of neo-Pythagorean numerologists who significantly reshaped the Pythagorean numerological tradition. Soon afterward, Julia Seton, one of the aforementioned Pythagorean number enthusiasts, also classified 33, 44, 55, 66, and so on as master numbers.
It is possible that the Pythagoreans were also influenced by the Tarot cards XI (“Strength”) and 0 or XXII (“The Fool”). Card XI depicts a woman calmly standing beside a lion, closing its jaws with her bare hands. For this reason, the card is sometimes referred to as “ a Lion Muzzled.” Card 0 or XXII shows a man casually walking along his path while a dog — or some beast — bites at his leg. Perhaps this inspired Aso-Neith Cochran to attribute special power to these cards and numbers.
The number 22 is double 11, and in addition, the English word MASTER adds up to 22 according to the reduced numerical values of letters in the English alphabet:
M + A + S + T + E + R = 4 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 5 + 9 = 22.
All subsequent “master numbers” are multiples of 11.
Whatever the logic behind these Pythagorean ideas may have been, they eventually found their way into Chaldean numerology as well. Some Chaldean numerologists abandoned the older Chaldean tradition precisely because of this and adopted the Pythagorean interpretations of the numbers 11 and 22. They did not even exercise enough critical thinking to calculate the Chaldean value of the English word MASTER, which is actually 19, not 22:
M + A + S + T + E + R = 4 + 1 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 2 = 19.
And in other languages, the translation of the word “master” yields entirely different values.
In the Chaldean tradition, the numbers 11 and 22 are considered challenging numbers. In particular, the meaning of 11 here differs somewhat even from the Italian Tarot tradition.
Personally, when it comes to the numbers 11, 22, 33, and so on, I follow the older interpretations. There are not many situations in which 11 functions as a strong and stable number. It seems that this so-called “master level” is more the exception than the rule in the case of this number.
Let me ask you this: How many women would dare approach an untamed lion and close its jaws with their bare hands? And if the Tarot lion is already domesticated, then we cannot really speak of mastery at all…
In India, the number 108 is regarded as a sacred number; however, in Chaldean numerology, it is not considered the highest number that can be meaningfully described.
Within Indian tradition, a special status is attributed to this number, as it represents the product of 12 zodiac signs and 9 fundamental base numbers in the decimal system. It is therefore seen as a number that reflects the primordial structure of the material world. According to one strand of Indian tradition, the world was created by Shiva, and this number is consequently associated with him. Shiva is believed to have 108 names. Likewise, Japa mala are composed of 108 beads. Moreover, Krishna—another aspect of the Creator—is also said to have 108 names, as well as 108 Gopis (devotees).
It is within this context that the reasoning can be found for why the Indian numerologist Pandit Sethuraman, who adopted the Chaldean system from Cheiro, extended the descriptions of key numbers up to 108. All higher numbers than 108 can be reduced, through digit summation in one or multiple steps (in the case of very large numbers), to one of these 108 values. In developing his interpretations of numbers above 52, Pandit Sethuraman relied primarily on Indian tradition and his own intuition.
In any case, 108 is not the highest number with its own distinct essence in Chaldean numerology. Much like 52 (in Cheiro’s system) or 78 (in tarot), it represents a certain threshold; however, numbers beyond this value are also understood to possess unique influences. For example, the number 666 is traditionally known as the “number of the beast” (18), while at the same time it is also regarded as the “number of man” (triple 6). In an earlier discussion, it was also demonstrated how, in mundane numerology, even four-digit numbers such as calendar years can be interpreted.
Cheiro’s descriptions of numbers end at number 52. In the “Chaldean” tarot, this number is associated with the Queen of Swords, and it is said to be governed by hidden strategy, emotionality, and the element of swords. For this reason, it could have been linked by Cheiro to number 43. However, the Chaldean tarot with its 56 Minor Arcana cards is understood as a variant of the Marseille tarot, and therefore its structure is considered to extend up to the number 78.
There are several reasons why Cheiro may have stopped his numerical descriptions upon reaching 52. Within Cheiro’s method of number addition, it is relatively uncommon for values higher than 52 to be obtained.
On the other hand, number 52 corresponds to the number of weeks in a year. Furthermore, if 52 is multiplied by the number of days in a week, the result is 52 × 7 = 364, which closely approximates the number of days in a year. In this way, number 52 is strongly associated with calendar symbolism, linking the solar and lunar cycles, and is therefore seen as representing completeness.
In a similar vein, the Indian numerologist Pandit Sethuraman also worked with higher numbers and thus sought a different form of completeness, which was found in the product of 12 (the zodiac signs) and 9 (the core essences in decimal-based numerological systems). The multiplication 12 × 9 = 108 yields the number 108, which is regarded in Indian tradition as highly sacred.
In Pythagorean numerology, even before the First World War, an idea emerged that the 26 letters of the English alphabet could be treated separately in their uppercase and lowercase forms. In this way, the number 52 was likewise obtained, representing a doubling of 26.
There is likely also a substantive reason for stopping at number 52. According to the information available, the meanings of numbers derived from the “Chaldean” tarot may, beyond 52, diverge in certain cases from the historically expected interpretations when specific criteria are applied.
This time, I’m publishing an article that isn’t exactly typical for me. My work usually focuses on numerology, and occasionally on mantras. In the case of U.S. President Donald Trump, however, we can compare hisnumerological cycle—which has become at least somewhat unfavorable this year—with Chinese Bazi astrology, also known as the Four Pillars of Destiny. By comparing these two systems, we can sometimes arrive at more precise predictions.
Trump’s numerological cycles indicate some difficulties in 2026 and 2027
In very general terms, Bazi astrology analyzes the five elements (wood, fire, earth, metal, and water), and from the relationships between them we can determine whether fate is more likely to bring challenges or opportunities for favorable developments.
One of the challenges with this form of Chinese astrology and president Donald Trump is that Donald Trump—along with Chinese President Xi Jinping—is likely one of the most influential figures on the planet, yet Bazi practitioners themselves do not agree on how his pillars of destiny should be interpreted.
We are currently living in a period of fire years: last year was governed by the Yi Si pillar (symbolized by the Wood Snake, in which fire is generated), 2026 is under the Bing Wu pillar (the Fire Horse), and the following year will be ruled by Ding Wei (the Fire Goat). Because Trump’s energies influence the entire world, we are looking for a way to determine which elements are favorable or unfavorable for him. Specifically, we are interested in whether the fire element is beneficial or detrimental in his case. This question offers strong insight into the likelihood of whether his second presidential term will be successful.
I haven’t been deeply involved in Chinese astrology for years, and for more detailed information about this system I recommend studying with experienced practitioners. Many good (and not-so-good) books have also been published, which is a major advantage compared to the time when I first encountered this method. Although I’ve never explored all the intricacies of Bazi, I do have some knowledge of the approach, so I’ll allow myself to conduct a brief analysis of how Trump’s pillars of destiny function.
Trump’s personal element is Ji, or yin earth, which is strongly supported by additional earth and very strong fire. Under normal circumstances, Ji earth represents fertile, moist soil; however, in Trump’s chart there is not enough water, so this reinforced Ji instead represents more of a desert with sand dunes. The wind may scatter some of the sand, but such a large quantity of Ji earth is highly resilient and retains its desert-like essence.
The Four Pillars of Destiny (Bazi) of President Donald Trump
Within the earthly branches Si, Wei, Wu, and Xu, we find the combination of Wu and Xu (a partial trine), as well as the combination of Si, Wu, and Wei (a directional combination), both of which generate additional fire. We also see the Wu – Wei combination (one of the Six Combinations aka. Liu He), which produces a “sixth element” (secondary fire). In the upper stems of the day and hour pillars, we find Ji (yin earth), forming what is known as the “Double Self,” which significantly strengthens the personal element.
The chart also contains a full combination between the Ji Wei and Jia Wu pillars, bringing personal strength and favorable development. In addition, the day stem Ji (yin earth) has hidden support from earth within the monthly branch Wu, while the month stem Jia (yang wood) has hidden support from wood within the day pillar. Earth energy is also exchanged crosswise between the heavenly stems and earthly branches of the hour and day pillars, indicating an ability to form alliances. This also contributes to a special relationship with his children.
Regardless of whether fire and earth are favorable or not, the “Double Self” further emphasizes a strong connection with his children. It is also worth noting that his personal pillar, Ji Wei (Earth Goat), belongs to the so-called “Six Talented Pillars” (Liu Xiu Ri), which gives him the potential to achieve fame and prosperity—provided the rest of the chart supports it.
The absence of water as the wealth element may therefore not be a problem, since a “No Wealth Situation” often creates the potential for wealth—such a person can acquire money and keep it hidden. Donald Trump has the “Golden Treasury” star (Jin Kui) present in the Wu branch, which can bring financial gain. Some argue that a clash or combination cancels out this star’s financial potential. The idea is likely that wealth needs to remain safely concealed, while clashes or combinations expose it.
However, special stars (Shen Sha) are generally derived in two ways: through relationships between elements or through positional relationships of the earthly branches. The “Golden Treasury” belongs to the latter category, which raises the question of whether its financial potential can truly disappear in a clash or combination. Moreover, the directional combination of Si, Wu, and Wei is also said to cancel out the effects of the “Prosperity” star (Lu) in the Si branch and the “Hidden Prosperity” (An Lu) in the day branch Wei. But is that really the case here? Or could such a combination instead represent a merging of financial potentials and the flow of wealth back and forth?
In any case, Trump’s pillars contain another important star—the “Monthly Nobleman” (Yuede Guiren) in the year stem Bing. This structure is significantly strengthened by the directional combination of Si, Wu, and Wei. This star grants him strong protection and considerable luck in life.
Although Ji earth is typically quite diplomatic, Trump’s chart includes the “Sword Star” (Yang Ren in Si and Wei), which is active and gives him a sharp edge. He also has the “General’s Star,” which further reinforces this quality. Trump is certainly not someone who is easily intimidated by his opponents.
Some practitioners of the Four Pillars system prefer not to rely on the wide array of these so-called “stars” or “spirits” (Shen Sha), and instead focus primarily on the basic “Ten Gods,” which represent the relationship between the yin or yang versions of the elements and the personal element. Trump’s chart seems to fall under the “Unconventional Resource” type (“Unconventional Resource” being one of the Ten Gods), which gives him an unconventional nature and, due to the strong earth, a highly challenging or provocative character. It is also possible that Bing, as the sole aspect of fire in the celestial stems, redirects part of the fire element from the earthly combination of Si-Wu-Wei toward its yang polarity.
There are three main ways practitioners interpret his chart. It may be a standard “Unconventional Resource” structure with a strong personal earth element; it may be a special structure known as “Child with Many Mothers”; or it may be a special structure dominated by earth.
Many would classify this chart as a dominant earth structure—that is, a special type of chart. This is how the late Master Jerry King interpreted Trump’s pillars. All of the pillars are saturated with fire and earth; wood appears only in the month stem Jia and in smaller amounts in the day branch Wei. However, this wood largely fuels the fire and indirectly further strengthens the fire–earth structure.
In such a dominant earth structure, the favorable elements are fire and earth, with metal—and possibly even wood—being partially beneficial. Water would be unfavorable, as in special or non-standard structures the focus is not on achieving temperature balance. The absence of water as the wealth element would therefore not be problematic. In a special structure, a “No Wealth situation“ very likely brings wealth. If the dominant earth interpretation is correct, the main remaining question would be whether this is a true dominant type or a somewhat lower-quality “fake dominant type”.
In the second case, this could represent the special “Child with Many Mothers” structure, since the “Double Self” appears as the only active earth element. All the other prominent elements—except for Jia—are fire. This would suggest a chart that grants a talent for working with information and excellent intuition. In such a structure, the favorable elements are fire and wood, while earth, metal, and water are unfavorable.
This “Child with Many Mothers” interpretation is supported by Master Lily Chung, one of the most insightful interpreters of destiny analysis. Her distinctive approach is that she does not focus on the strength of elements within the chart, but instead seeks to identify the flow of energy through the pillars. She also calculates certain pillars using the lunar (and not solar) calendar.
It is worth noting that a true “Child with Many Mothers” structure is itself a special configuration—one so strong that it significantly alters how elements function as favorable or unfavorable. In this case, earth would be unfavorable, while fire would be highly favorable.
In the third case, we would be dealing with a strong but conventional earth structure with an “Unconventional Resource” (Pian Yin). In standard chart types, maintaining temperature balance becomes very important. Under this interpretation, fire would likely be considered the least favorable element, followed by earth—since even Ji earth (fertile soil) can turn into dry, desert-like ground under such conditions, especially when it is excessive.
Water would be the most favorable element, followed by metal (which generates water), while wood might be more neutral or even somewhat unfavorable. This approach is used by Master Lillian Too of Malaysia, who is also known for calculating pillars according to the lunar calendar. According to her, fire and earth are unfavorable for Trump, while metal, water, and wood are favorable elements.
There are several reasons why this chart could indeed represent a conventional strong earth type. In particular, the earthly branches compete with one another to determine which combination will dominate. First, the partial fire combination between Wu and Xu is activated. However, the relatively strong combination between the Ji Wei and Jia Wu pillars in the earthly branches produces a “sixth element.” Finally, the directional combination attempts to assert itself.
As a result, the potential for combinations is dispersed, which reduces the overall amount of additional fire (wherever it may form). Moreover, this “secondary” fire does not have exactly the same quality as regular fire. At the same time, there is so much earth hidden within the chart that it raises the question of whether it can truly be classified as a “Child with Many Mothers” structure. This dispersion of competing influences may be enough to prevent the chart from transforming into a special structure. The “No Wealth situation” can still indicate the potential to accumulate wealth.
The differences in favorable and unfavorable elements across all three interpretations are so significant that, under such circumstances, the only remaining option is to examine Trump’s personal history.
The father is represented by the elements Gui and Jia, which suggests a person with ideas and—at least from Trump’s perspective—likely also a figure of authority and wealth. From this, we can infer that either water or wood may be favorable elements for Trump.
Furthermore, Donald Trump has a large number of supporters as well as many opponents; he is capable of generating extreme polarization in public opinion. Some people follow him almost blindly, while others constantly attack him. The element that represents both opponents and allies is primarily the personal element—in this case, earth. Given that the crosswise exchange of energies in his chart, along with the combination of the day and month pillars, creates opportunities for generally positive relationships with those close to him, earth may be considered a challenging element. But his confrontational nature may also stem from the “Unconventional Resource” (Pian Yin) structure and the presence of the Sword Star.
A third interesting point is that Trump inherited his involvement in real estate from his father. The exchange of earth elements within his pillars indicates that real estate does indeed represent an opportunity for him. However, this is a specific internal structure of the chart and does not necessarily mean that earth is otherwise a favorable element for him.
As President of the United States, operating during a period of global power transition from the U.S. to China—and in years dominated by stronger fire energy—fire is also likely to be considered a challenging element in his chart.
Based on these basic observations, we arrive at a tentative conclusion that this is most likely a conventional “Unconventional Resource” type with a strong personal earth element, where earth and fire are challenging elements, while water and metal are favorable. To gain a more precise understanding, we also need to examine the basic progression of his life path through the ten-year and five-year luck pillars.
The 10-year and 5-year cycles of fortune in the case of Donald Trump
His early business years were not the most successful. In the 1970s, the Bing Shen luck pillar first comes into play. The Shen branch, which governs the early 1970s, is metallic, but together with the Si branch it also forms a partial fire punishment. Therefore, this period should be approached with caution, and we should avoid drawing conclusions too quickly at the outset of the analysis.
This is followed by the Ding You pillar. The fire stem Ding dominates roughly the years 1974–1978, while You becomes more influential later. The early years were not particularly successful (though still moderately so), while the later metal years of You were much more favorable. The earthly branch You becomes dominant from around 1979 onward, marking the beginning of Trump’s most favorable period. From this, we can conclude that metal is a favorable element for him.
The next major pillar is Wu Xu. This is a Fui Gong pillar, which brings special power and influence but also acts as a transformational vortex—turning favorable elements into unfavorable ones and vice versa. This vortex creates a strong pull that can even shift the time boundaries within which a pillar operates. Trump’s favorable period continues during this phase, suggesting that earth is actually an unfavorable element that Fui Gong transforms into favorable influences. The effect of Fui Gong is further strengthened by the year Wu Chen (1988), which also carries Fui Gong characteristics.
This favorable period appears to end around 1991–1992, when the Wu Xu Fui Gong begins to draw in the influence of the next pillar, Ji Hai (approximately 1991–2004). The early years were more difficult and influenced by earth (Ji). The year 1991, under the XinWei pillar, emphasizes a partial earth punishment (San Xing). That year, Trump experienced the bankruptcy of the Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City.
These energies likely also negatively affected the following year under the Ren Shen pillar. Shen (although metallic in nature), together with Si, forms a fire punishment, and combined with the earth influences of Ji, this brought Trump the bankruptcy of the Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino. From this, we can infer that fire and earth are unfavorable elements for him, since “San Xing” (the Three Punishments) tends to manifest as hardship particularly when it occurs within unfavorable elements (fire in the Yin–Si–Shen punishments, and earth in the Wei–Xu–Chou punishments). The later years of the Ji Hai pillar are influenced by water, but water is not strong enough to overcome the powerful fire structure in Trump’s chart.
In 2004, the Geng Zi pillar begins. The year 2004 itself is especially complex to interpret. It is governed by the Jia Shen year pillar, while the longer cycle is Geng. The fire stem Bing and wood stem Jia from the natal chart appear to weaken the metal Geng. In the Jia Shen year, Jia repeats in the stems, while Shen forms a partial fire punishment with Si. That year, Jia and Bing effectively clashed away the metal Geng element. Trump experienced the bankruptcy of Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts, which suggests that fire is not favorable for him, while metal is.
In 2009, the Ji Chou pillar brought strong earth influences, which, together with Wei and Xu, formed a complete set of earth punishments. That year, Trump experienced the bankruptcy of Trump Entertainment Resorts, further indicating that earth is an unfavorable element for him.
Between 2004 and 2018, metal and water elements are consistently present. These elements also contributed to his media resurgence through the television show The Apprentice (2004–2015), where his famous slogan “You’re fired!” originated. During this time, the “Trump” brand was significantly strengthened.
During the Xin Chou period (2014–2024), Trump reaches his peak and then experiences a temporary decline. Under the influence of the metal Xin and the metal years 2016–2018, he won the presidential election and successfully navigated the first part of his term—again indicating that metal is a favorable element. The heavenly stem Xin forms a combination with Bing.
In the later part of his term, Chou becomes more active, forming earth punishments together with Xu and Wei. Trump faced the COVID-19 pandemic and was unsuccessful in his bid for re-election. Although the year 2020 carried water influence, raising the question of whether water was acting favorably, it is possible that the Zi branch was not strong enough to control the fire in his natal chart.
What can be stated with more certainty is that earth is an unfavorable element for him, as the following years brought significant pressure and legal challenges. The wood years of 2022 and 2023 also appear to have been unfavorable, possibly because wood further fueled the fire.
In the fall of 2024, Trump entered the ten-year Ren Yin cycle, where the early years are dominated primarily by water, which brought him electoral victory. From this, we can conclude that water is a favorable element for him.
The year 2024 itself was governed by the Jia Chen pillar. Chen clashes with Xu from his natal pillars, and in that clash, earth becomes compressed. In addition, the first part of the year still falls under the ten-year Xin Chou cycle, so the earthly branches Xu and Chou also form partial earth punishments. This likely represents the part of his energy associated with strong political opponents (unfavorable earth). Jia is wood, which can act as a form of pressure on Ji earth.
During that year, there was also an assassination attempt on Trump during the campaign. In his chart, he has the “White Tiger” (Bai Hu) star in the month pillar, the “Heavenly Dog” (Tian Gou) in the hour pillar, and an active “Sword Star” in both the day and hour pillars—making him more exposed to such events during unfavorable periods. This is especially relevant after the age of 50, when the influence of the hour pillar traditionally becomes stronger, although some modern interpretations shift this threshold closer to age 60. Trump, being older, already has a strongly activated Sword Star in combination with the Heavenly Dog in his hour pillar.
In any case, by the fall of 2024, the ten-year cycle had shifted into the Ren Yin period, and the earth punishments subsided.
Based on this life-path analysis, I draw the following conclusions:
Earth is his most unfavorable element
Fire is also unfavorable most of the time
Wood appears to act as a slightly unfavorable transformer of energies, ultimately strengthening fire and then earth
Water and metal appear to be favorable elements
The overall conclusion is therefore:
The idea that Trump’s chart represents a dominant earth structure—where earth and fire would be favorable—is invalid
The idea that this is a “Child with Many Mothers” structure is also invalid, since fire is mostly unfavorable for him
The most consistent interpretation is that his chart represents (most of the time) a very strong personal earth supported by fire—i.e., a standard chart in which metal and water are favorable, while fire and earth are unfavorable. Since wood supports fire, it is somewhat unfavorable as well
Based on this, we can now look at Trump’s second term. At present, Trump is in a period influenced by the five-year dominance of the water stem Ren, which brings favorable effects. At the same time, 2025 is a demanding year due to strengthening fire influences. The years 2026 and 2027 are even more challenging, as they bring a very strong concentration of fire, which can lead to imbalance and health issues (for example, problems related to the heart, brain, blood, or blood pressure).
This fire influence appears somewhat stronger and more intense than the supportive water of Ren. In the background, there is also a weak presence of the Yin branch (symbolized by the Tiger), which together with Si already forms partial fire punishments.
Yin (the Tiger) represents the East, while fire represents the South, deserts, plastics, fertilizers, electronics, food, energy resources, and even traditional stock markets. Unfortunately, it is also associated with blood. The element of fire is ruled by the planet Mars, traditionally considered the planet of war.
Unfavorable fire manifests as Mars-like or terrestrial threats—such as tensions involving Denmark, Panama, and Canada; an attack on Venezuela (which was successful but occurred in winter, when water energies are stronger); an attack on Iran; and threats toward Cuba. By aligning with Israel and attacking Iran, Trump has strongly activated imbalanced fire energies in his chart.
Because the influence of his chart extends across the United States and even globally, this may manifest as a “desert crisis”, war with Iran, the destruction of desalination plants, an energy crisis, and potentially future crises involving fertilizers, food, microchips, and electronics. During this term, Trump may struggle a lot to repair the damage caused by the outbreak of a U.S.–Iran conflict. Still, we can hope for the best.
The years 2027 and 2028 are also linked to fire and earth. In 2028, Wu earth sits on the Shen branch, which—despite its metal base—forms a fire punishment together with Si. That year also draws in the Yin branch (the Tiger), representing the East and China. At the latest by then, major tensions between Trump and China could arise. These punishments are fiery. Fire corresponds to the South or desert. For China, fire may symbolize Taiwan. For the world, it may represent Iran, Israel, and the broader Arab region.
Unfavorable fire can also manifest as explosions of all kinds, aerial warfare, and firearms. The seasons that support fire are the “Chinese spring” (wood: February, March, April), followed by the “Chinese summer” (fire: May, June, July), and late summer extending into early Shen month (August).
Wood influences began strengthening in February 2026. February itself—marking the beginning of the Iran conflict—corresponds to the Yin branch, which can initiate fire punishments. In the early months, there are fortunately still supportive metal and water influences present. However, conditions become more unfavorable around May and June 2026, and even more so in July 2026.
This does not necessarily mean a continuation of the U.S.–Iran war (although it is quite possible). If that conflict does not continue, Trump may instead face other burdens—perhaps a resulting energy crisis or something similar.
Where do we find balance in Trump’s chart? In water and metal. This means the situation is not entirely black and white, as his longer-term cycle still includes supportive water influences. His Iran-related actions may shake both the U.S. and the world, but may not lead to total collapse.
Water and metal are also, in a sense, geographical elements of the United States itself. We can see that in some areas Trump is aligning with his favorable elements (tariffs, protection of the southern border), but moderation is of key importance. Tariff protection may only be reasonable up to about 10–15% of goods’ value, and the U.S. might also be better protected through other means—such as investing in education and major national projects.
It is also important to recognize that a moderate inflow of immigrants provides the workforce that helps sustain American strength. In this case, it is precisely Trump’s own “domestic” elements—fire and earth—that present the problem. Metal and water extend beyond borders, representing another dimension of these elements. In Trump’s chart, they symbolize foreigners, not just the United States itself.
Perhaps this is also why he chose two wives from abroad. His first wife was Czech, and his current wife is Slovenian. Both, however, come from Eastern Europe, which lies east of the United States. The East corresponds to the element of wood, which acts as a mediator between foreign and domestic environments.
In any case, foreigners as a workforce contribute to wealth, which in Trump’s chart is again represented by water. Water also corresponds to the North (Canada), while metal represents the West and, more broadly, the white race. It is not advisable to attack favorable elements (Canada, Greenland, foreigners as generators of wealth),as this further aggravates the imbalance of excessive earth and fire in Trump’s chart. Water is absorbed by wood, which in turn fuels fire. Wood represents the East, and wood that absorbs water corresponds more specifically to the Northeast—namely Russia.
Admiration for Putin’s Russia weakens both the United States and Trump’s energetic balance. Of course, much depends on Russia’s leadership, but in terms of the “global dynamics” of Trump’s chart, Russia as the Northeast ultimately supports the South. The “South” of Russia includes China, Iran, and India.
Europe, however, is influenced not only by the West (and partly, from the U.S. perspective, the East), but is also strongly associated with earth. In fact, Europe and Africa—not China—could be seen as the true Zhong Guo (“Middle Kingdom”) of the world. At the same time, Europe represents an eastern direction (wood) for Trump. Since earth partially generates metal, Europe is not energetically unfavorable for him, although it would be advisable for him to maintain a neutral and somewhat distanced relationship with it.
Given all of the above—and considering the actions already taken—it seems unlikely that Trump will successfully complete a second presidential term. If he remains in good health and adopts a strong strategy… perhaps. But it would require significant effort. More likely, he will be remembered in history as the figure who ultimately awakened the Asian tiger. Astrological planetary transitions between 2026 and 2032 point toward China rising to global dominance.
What advice could be offered to Trump? It seems that walking in northern, western, or northwestern directions would be beneficial, as well as residing in the northern, western, or northwestern part of a settlement. In this regard, consulting a Feng Shui practitioner would certainly be advisable. Water environments (lakes, rivers, sea) are also favorable for him.
According to Bazi, his personal colors (for clothing and bedding, but NOT for interior walls) are white, gray, dark blue, and black. He should avoid deserts, Arab regions, the colors red, yellow, and brown, as well as southern, southwestern, and northeastern directions. It is also not ideal for him to remain in one place for extended periods.
From a perspective of Chaldean numerology, his number five is associated with white and very light gray. His numbers six, three, and four share a foundation in blue, while four and five also share light gray. Trump is fortunate in that both systems point to overlapping beneficial colors—namely white, light gray, and dark blue.
Trump’s Chaldean Numeroscope primarily contain the “base numbers” three, four, five, and six.
Strongly masculine numbers are those of Jupiter (3), Mars (9), and the original form of the Sun (1). Strongly feminine numbers are those of Venus (6) and the original form of the Moon (2).
Regardless of the numbers present in a person’s birth date, it is generally desirable—especially in childhood—that the full (= consonants+ vowels) first name number, full middle name numbers, full last name number, full Total Name Number (TNN), and consonants (in personal name, in last name, consonants total) predominantly support one’s core masculine or feminine nature. This is easiest to achieve within the 3–6–9 group. Within the 1–2–4–7 group, the number 1 is often the preferred primary choice (and males should avoid strong presence of number 2!).
Numbers associated with the opposite gender can still be present in a secondary role; in that case, they may indicate an ability to understand the opposite sex.
We evaluate name numbers (excluding vowels), and then especially the Total Name Number (TNN). For example, if a man has a TNN of 2 or 6, and his name numbers are also dominated by 2 or 6, he may become gay (or he may not; depending on other factors) or may otherwise develop an unconventional relationship with his masculinity and with women. If a woman has a TNN of 1, 3, or 9, and her name numbers are likewise dominated by those values, she may (or she may not!) become a lesbian or may otherwise develop an unconventional relationship with her femininity and with men. There is very little established numerological tradition in this area, and such “gay & lesbian” numbers are difficult to interpret reliably. Much also depends on astrological configurations and other factors.
If possible, regardless of gender, avoid giving children names that contain a strong 11 or most of its higher derivatives (29, 38, 47, etc.). Do not be misled by stories about “master numbers,” a concept introduced in the early 20th century by the Pythagorean numerologist Aso-Neith Cochran. Before her, Pythagoreans did not use the concept of master numbers 11 and 22—and neither did Chaldean numerologists.
Number 11 is generally associated with division and emotional suffering. It can indicate divorce and conflict in the parents’ family, and even more often in one’s own family. The essence of 11 reduces to 2, which is associated with the astral realm, the unconscious, fear, aggression, suffering, attachments, and emotions. Only individuals with a strong chart may channel the number 11 into resilience or fighting spirit. In general, however, this number is not a formula for success in life. It more often brings internal crises (sometimes identity crises) or challenges in family and social roles.
