There is a widespread belief that Friday the 13th is an unlucky day. In tradition, the number 13 is considered unlucky because there were 13 people present at the Last Supper (Jesus and the 12 apostles). In Norse mythology, the mischievous Loki, as the 13th guest, brought misfortune to the gods (the death of Balder). However, the negative connotations of the number 13 have even older roots, which can be found in Chaldean numerology.
Some take the connection between Friday and the number 13 even further, seeing it as representing the 13 lunar months. Both the Moon and Venus (the planet associated with Friday) are considered feminine planets. Based on this, the promotion of Friday the 13th as an unlucky day has been interpreted as a patriarchal attack on the feminine archetype and motherhood.
It’s also possible that the association between Friday the 13th and bad luck in Europe and the U.S. stems from the belief that Jesus died on Friday the 13th of Nisan. Regardless of the actual origin of the fear surrounding this day, we can explore what Chaldean numerology has to say about it. Some Chaldean numerologists warn that it is indeed a dangerous day because Friday is ruled by Venus, which corresponds to the number 6. In numerology, 6 and 13 (base number 4) are considered incompatible.
In reality, it’s difficult to definitively label Friday the 13th as either lucky or unlucky. Under certain conditions, there is even a possibility of favorable numerological interactions between the numbers 6 and 4. Besides 13 and 6, there are other numbers that influence a particular day. For example, the “Life Path” number of the specific day is also in play, along with several other numbers.
Additionally, the day of the week holds less significance than the day of themonth. We are still dealing mainly with the 13th of the month. The relationship between the day of the week and the day of the month is not crucial for an individual (in predictions!). What’s more important are the interactions between one’s personal numbers and the day of the week, as well as the interactions between one’s numbers and the day of the month. For instance, If our two key numbers are 1 and 5, then Friday the 13th is more likely to have a positive influence, at least based on the basic factors. However, if we have only one key number and that number is 4, Friday the 13th may not be an ideal day.
On an individual level, there are several ways to determine the personal influences of a particular day. Some personalization techniques have a stronger influence than others. The personal impacts of the day are affected by the birth date numbers, and to a lesser extent, by name numbers.
So, is Friday the 13th an auspicious or inauspicious day for you? According to Chaldean numerology, this is an inappropriate or overly general question. Based on individual influences, Friday the 13th could be a lucky day, a neutral day, or a day that brings challenges. To such a broad question, only a general answer is possible.
In contrast to Pythagorean numerology, the first examples of the use of the Latin alphabet in Chaldean numerology are only found in the modern era. Initially, two methods of alpha-numeric encoding were used, which are shown below with values by greater cannon (units, tens and hundreds) and lesser cannon (ordinal values) and with reduced values from 1 to 9. I call the first of these methods the internal values method of alpha-numeric encoding and the second the external values method of alpha-numeric encoding.
There are differences between the two methods for two letters. The letter “C” has a value of 3 in the internal method and 2 in the external method, while the letter “H” has a value of 5 in the internal method and 8 in the external method. The internal values approach was a closely guarded secret, so most numerologists only knew the values C = 2, H = 8. In modern Chaldean numerology we also see a reformation of the internal method as early as the 19th century, in which the letter “X” is assigned a value of 5 instead of 6.
The classical internal method with C = 3, H = 5 and X = 6 was introduced to the modern world in 1967 by Richard Cavendish in his book “The Black Arts“, but he seems to have been unaware of the somewhat older Chaldean alphabetic tradition. He seems to have discovered the value of the inner method based on his own findings.
Both approaches assign vowels similarly to those in the Greek alphabet (which was influenced by Semitic alphabets and Semitic numerologies). The letter “A” is associated with the letter alpha and with a value of 1, the letter “E” is associated with the first letter of the “E”-voice, i.e. with the letter eta and with a value of 5. The letter “I” is associated with the letter iota and with the values 10 and 1, respectively. The letter “O” is associated with the first letter for the voice “O”, namely omicron with the values 70, 16 and 7. The letter “U” has a deviation and is associated with the Semitic letter waw with the value 6, and indirectly with the Greek letter digamma.
Aramaic/Semitic Original
Additionally, under the influence of the Jewish Kabbalah, some people have started to assign different values to the vowels “E” and “O” and to the corresponding letters (10 and 1 for “E” and 6 for “O”). This approach is popular among some Freemasons.
The use of phonetic numerology is also widespread among Freemasons and in certain other circles, with various approaches known. Among these, the school of Habeeb Ahmad stands out. Habeeb Ahmad published a book on the subject in 1903 entitled “The Mysteries of Sound and Number“. Phonetic numerology ignores the fact that the Hebrew alphabet was no longer entirely phonetic. They also ignore the findings of European magic that written words, and thereby letters, have the power of manifestation.
Without knowledge of the existence of the internal method, Isidore Kozminsky began to reform the outer method at the beginning of the 20th century, assigning the value 5 to the letter “X” and to the letter “H” sometimes a value of 5 and sometimes a value of 8.. These reforms are included, at the latest, in the updated edition of the book “Numbers: Their Meaning and Magic” from 1911. Kozminsky later developed his own alphanumeric Chaldean coding specifically for analyzing people’s names and surnames. Sepharialhas also been exploring his own coding method.
Kozminsky’s early reforms seem to have been taken up by Cheiro, who then assigned the letter “C” a value of 3 and the letters “H” and “X” a value of 5 in his version of alpha-numeric coding. Thus, Cheiro’s approach arrived at a reformed internal method by another route. The approach was published in 1926 in the book “Cheiro’s Book of Numbers” and soon became a leading method in the field. After the Second World War it was supported and used by many numerologists such as Pandit Sethuraman, Gerun Moore, Linda Goodman, Anmarie Uber and August Darius Danielssonn. This is also the coding I use.
Few Chaldean numerologists still follow the external method. For example, Walter B. Gibson, but in more recent times this method has been supported, for example, by the Indian numerologist Harish Johari.
Mike Lynch (Michael Richard Lynch, born 16 June 1965) was a British entrepreneur and the founder of Autonomy, a software company. He later established the investment firm Invoke Capital, through which he also oversaw Darktrace, a cybersecurity company.
In Chaldean numerology, Lynch’s Total Name Number (TNN)and birth date contain the numbers 2 (38) and 7 (16). These two numbers are interchangeable and strongly connected. While they are associated with the Moon, their simultaneous presence and connection also grant Lynch a certain power. The number 38 is composed of the numbers 12 (base number 3) and 17 (base number 8), which are often linked to money. The strong relationship between base numbers 3 and 8, along with the connection between base numbers 2 and 7, makes his TNN a more potent form of the number 11, which symbolizes “Force.”
Numbers 3 and 8 are also associated with the number 68, creating a link similar to that found in Donald Trump’s numerology, involving the base numbers 3, 5, and 8. These three numbers often signify money matters and business involvement. Business success is also favored by the connections between the numbers 0, 3, and 6. The number 68 can be associated with computer software, and the numbers 5 and 7 combine to form the number 57, which can also be partially linked to software.
Lynch’s last name contains the letter Y, which many Chaldean numerologists believe should always be considered a vowel. The letter Y originates from the letter Yod, and in its original vibration, it is actually a consonant. Because Y can represent both a vowel and a consonant, its fundamental nature, due to its original vibration, remains primarily that of a consonant. Although the distinction between these influences isn’t entirely clear, practical results suggest that Y should fundamentally be analyzed as a consonant, even when associated with the “ee” sound. In Lynch’s case, analyzing Y as a vowel would loose indicators pointing to his work with software, leading to an incorrect analysis.
Unfortunately, the numbers 38 and 12 can also indicate legal disputes, and the number 16 can bring an unexpected loss of influence and power. After selling Autonomy, Mike Lynch was sued by Hewlett-Packard for alleged fraud. He was arrested and, in 2022, extradited to the United States. In June 2024, when his personal energies were somewhat more favorable (though still slightly unfavorable, but at a peak after 18 months), he was acquitted of all charges and released. His energies worsened in July, so he was fortunate that the court’s decision was made in June.
In August, his energies strengthened again, though they still retained a negative tone. This aligns with Lynch celebrating his freedom (energy strengthening) and then tragically dying in a sailing accident (reflecting the overall negative energy level). It’s important to understand that numerology cannot provide precise predictions (just as other systems for determining one’s fate cannot). It does not predict events such as death or marriage but rather indicates whether the energies of a specific day, month, or year are more challenging or more favorable.
Of course, much depends on which predictive model is used. My current approach also doesn’t provide perfect results, and it’s difficult to account for astrological and other influences that may improve or worsen a situation.
Specifically, August 19, 2024, brought Lynch, according to my approach, a very negative form of the number 15, known as “The Devil.” Sepharial ascribed the following meaning to the number 15: “Fate; inevitable; dangers to offspring and marital strife; luxury.” On that day, the number 15 was strongly connected with water, and his birthdate of the 16th, which also governs water and accidents, was strongly activated.
It’s also worth noting that the classic method for calculating personal years, months, and days gives a personal year of 1+6+6+2+0+2+4=21, a personal month of 21+8=29, and a personal day of 29+1+9=39 for August 19, 2024. The numbers 29 and 39 are considered unlucky and are associated with water. The number 29 can represent division or conflict, and the number 39 is a form of the number 12, which is called “The Victim.” Sepharial ascribed the following meaning to the number 12: “Reversal of position; culpability; chastisement; loss of honour; danger of violent death; either enforced or voluntary; dangers from women; catastrophe.” In this case, this approach aligns well with the events. Unfortunately, this is an exception to the rule—the established method for determining personal years, months, and days usually misses the mark.
The ancient Latin alphabet did not include the letters U, W, and J and question could be raised of how to associate these letters with Chaldean numerology. It is clear that the letter U developed from the letter V, which in turn originated from the Semitic letter waw, which has the value of 6. It is also evident that U is always used as a vowel.
The letter W also evolved from the letter V. Its original notation was V V, or UU, with a numerical value of 6+6=12. Over time, a new representation of this consonant became established, which, due to its connection with the letter waw and the sound “w,” has the value of 6.
The letter J developed from the consonant yod. Although this letter is pronounced differently by different peoples, it therefore carries the vibration 10, or the reduced value of 1.
The letter Y, which also originates from the Semitic letter yod with values of 10 and 1, was present in the original Latin alphabet, unlike the letters mentioned above. The question arises as to when it should be considered a vowel and when a consonant.
Some Chaldean numerologists are now convinced that the letter Y should always be considered as a vowel. In the name “New York,” for example, Y would be considered when calculating vowels, even though it represents a consonant in this case.
Since the letter Y originates from the letter Yod, its original vibration is actually that of a consonant. While Y can be used to represent both a vowel and a consonant, its fundamental nature, due to the original vibration of the letter, remains primarily that of a consonant.
The distribution of these effects is not entirely clear, but the concrete results suggest that Y should fundamentally always be analyzed as a consonant, even when Y is associated with the vowel sound “ee.” In the case of Mike Lynch, for example, analyzing the letter Y as a vowel would lead to the loss of all indicators pointing to work with software, resulting in an incorrect analysis.
In 1926, Cheiro published the “Book of Numbers,” in which he defined compound numbers (also known as fadic numbers) from 10 to 52. The descriptions I summarize here are taken from the English edition published in 1935.
The descriptions correspond in large part to very old writings on Chaldean numerology, and in part to the theory of the Tarot. However, these are not modern Tarot descriptions like those found in the works of Etteilla and others, but rather a sort of Chaldean Tarot. Some of the descriptions are also taken from the writings of Isidore Kozminsky. Based on some of Cheiro’s statements about ancient traditions, there is a reasonable suspicion that Cheiro was not the author of these descriptions. Cheiro was primarily a numerologist, astrologer and palmist, and does not seem to have dealt with the tarot in any depth. Moreover, the Tarot descriptions extend up to 78. In the modern Chaldean tradition and in the Chaldean tarot, we also know of descriptions of numbers beyond 52, specifically 55, 65, 69 and 71 (see Sepharial’s descriptions of numbers).
All the above increases the doubt about his authorship of these descriptions. On the other hand, Cheiro indicates in some of his writings that he knows at least the specific meaning of the numbers 55 and 69. The fact is that Cheiro’s descriptions have no connection with Indian tradition, although Cheiro made exaggerated claims to have received his knowledge of numerology from Indian Brahmins. In fact, all the numbers described are found in the traditions of Antiquity and in the Tarot.
So, the question of who the actual author might have been remains open. On the one hand, it could have been a person from the English high society who, due to his or her good name, did not want to become publicly associated with numerology. Engaging in occult sciences was considered inappropriate among the English nobility. Or it could simply have been a somewhat shy person who did not wish to be publicly exposed. There is some possibility, however, that this was a hidden passion of Cheiro’s, and that he therefore made the choice of descriptions in the first place.
In any case, these descriptions have been an important guide for most Chaldean numerologists since 1926. Some of these descriptions may not be the most accurate, and some numbers that are defined as lucky may be unlucky in some situations. Nevertheless, these descriptions are an important starting point when one is learning modern Chaldean numerology.
Many of today’s Chaldean numerologists seek strange solutions for numbers above 52. Where possible, it is suggested that the digits of the numbers simply be reversed and the meaning of the reversed numbers up to 52 be applied. For example, 53 is like 35 (and thus 26), 54 to 45 (and thus 27) … This is a completely misguided approach, as even the descriptions of numbers up to 52 do not allow for such digit reversals. The number 12 does not have the same meaning as the number 21, nor does the number 31 have the same meaning as 13. Likewise, 15 and 51 are different, as are 25 and 52, and 34 and 43. When reversing digits does not yield numbers with a value between 10 and 52, it is suggested that the digits simply be added together. Thus, 65 would be the usual 11, and 69 would be the usual 15. However, the modern Chaldean tradition shows that the number 65 has a somewhat different nature than the usual number 11, and the same is true for the relationship between the numbers 69 and 15.
In any case, you can check Cheiro’s descriptions in the continuation of this article.

10. Symbolised as the “Wheel of Fortune.” It is a number of honour, of faith and self-confidence, of rise and fall; one’s name will be known for good or evil, according to one’s desires; it is a fortunate number in the sense that one’s plans are likely to be carried out.
11. This is an ominous number to occultists. It gives warning of hidden dangers, trial, and treachery from others. It has a symbol of “a Clenched Hand,” and “aLion Muzzled,” and of a person who will have great difficulties to contend against.
12. The symbolism of this number is suffering and anxiety of mind. It is also indicated as “the Sacrifice” or “the Victim” and generally foreshadows one being sacrificed for the plans or intrigues of others.
13. This is a number indicating change of plans, place, and such-like, and is not unfortunate, as is generally supposed. In some of the ancient writings it is said, “He who understands the number 13 will be given power and dominion.” It is symbolised by the picture of “a Skeleton” or “Death,” with a scythe reaping down men, in a field of new-grown grass where young faces and heads appear cropping up on every side. It is a number of upheaval and destruction. It is a symbol of ” Power” which if wrongly used will wreak destruction upon itself. It is a number of warning of the unknown or unexpected, if it becomes a “compound” number in one’s calculations.
14. This is a number of movement, combination of people and things, and danger from natural forces, such as tempests, water, air, or fire. This number is fortunate for dealings with money, speculation, and changes in business, but there is always a strong element of risk and danger attached to it, but generally owing to the actions and foolhardiness of others. If this number comes out in calculations of future events the person should be warned to act with caution and prudence.
15. This is a number of occult significance, of magic and mystery; but as a rule it does not represent the higher side of occultism, its meaning being that the persons represented by it will use every art of magic they can to carry out their purpose. If associated with a good or fortunate single number, it can be very lucky and powerful, but if associated with one of the peculiar numbers, such as a 4 or an 8, the person it represents will not scruple to use any sort of art, or even ” black magic,” to gain what he or she desires. It is peculiarly associated with “good talkers,” often with eloquence, gifts of Music and Art and a dramatic personality, combined with a certain voluptuous temperament and strong personal magnetism. For obtaining money, gifts, and favours from others it is a fortunate number.
16. This number has a most peculiar occult symbolism. It is pictured by “a Tower Struck by Lightning from which a man is falling with a Crown on his head.” It is also called “the Shattered Citadel.” It gives warning of some strange fatality awaiting one, also danger of accidents and defeat of one’s plans. If it appears as a “compound” number relating to the future, it is a warning sign that should be carefully noted and plans made in advance in the endeavour to avert its fatalistic tendency.
17. This is a highly spiritual number, and is expressed in symbolism by the 8-pointed Star of Venus: a symbol of “Peace and Love.” It is also called “the Star of the Magi” and expresses that the person it represents has risen superior in spirit to the trials and difficulties of his life or his career. It is considered a “number of immortality” and that the person’s name “lives after him.” It is a fortunate number if it works out in relation to future events, provided it is not associated with the single numbers of fours and eights.
18. This number has a difficult symbolism to translate. It is pictured as “a rayed moon from which drops of blood are falling; a wolf and a hungry dog are seen below catching the falling drops of blood in their opened mouths, while still lower a crab is seen hastening to join then.” It is symbolic of materialism striving to destroy the spiritual side of the nature. It generally associates a person with bitter quarrels, even family ones, also with war, social upheavals, revolutions; and in some cases it indicates making money and position through wars or by wars. It is, however, a warning of treachery, deception by others, also danger from the elements, such as storms, danger from water, fires and explosions. When this ‘’compound” number appears in working out dates in advance, such a date should be taken with a great amount of care, caution, and circumspection.
19. This number is regarded as fortunate and extremely favourable. It is symbolised as “the Sun” and is called “the Prince of Heaven.” It is a number promising happiness, success, esteem and honour, and promises success in one’s plans for the future.
20. This number is called “the Awakening”; also “the Judgment.” It is symbolised by the figure of a winged angel sounding a trumpet, while from below a man, a woman, and a child are seen rising from a tomb with their hands clasped in prayer. This number has a peculiar interpretation: the awakening of new purpose, new plans, new ambitions, the call to action, but for some great purpose, cause or duty. It is not a material number and consequently is a doubtful one as far as worldly success is concerned. If used in relation to a future event, it denotes delays, hindrances to one’s plans, which can only be conquered through the development of the spiritual side of the nature.
21. This number is symbolised by the picture of “the Universe,” and it is also called “the Crown of the Magi.” It is a number of advancement, honours, elevation in life, and general success. It means victory after a long tight, for “the Crown of the Magi” is only gained after long initiation and tests of determination. It is a fortunate number of promise if it appears in any connection with future events.
22. This number is symbolised by “a Good Man blinded by the folly of others, with a knapsack on his back full of Errors.” In this picture he appears to offer no defence against a ferocious tiger which is attacking him. It is a warning number of illusion and delusion, a good person who lives in a fool’s paradise; a dreamer of dreams who awakens only when surrounded by danger. It is also a number of false judgment owing to the influence of others. As a number in connection with future events its warning and meaning should be carefully noted.
23. This number is called “the Royal Star of the Lion.” It is a promise of success, help from superiors and protection from those in high places. In dealing with future events it is a most fortunate number and a promise of success for one’s plans.
24. This number is also fortunate; it promises the assistance and association of those of rank and position with one’s plans; it also denotes gain through love and the opposite sex; it is a favourable number when it comes out in relation o future events.
25. This is a number denoting strength gained through experience, and benefits obtained through observation of people and things. It is not deemed exactly “lucky,” as its success is given through strife and trials in the earlier life. It is favourable when it appears in regard to the future.
26. This number is full of the gravest warnings for the future. It foreshadows disasters brought about by association with others; ruin, by bad speculations, by partnerships, unions, and bad advice. If it comes out in connection with future events one should carefully consider the path one is treading.
27. This is a good number and is symbolised as “the Sceptre.” It is a promise of authority, power, and command. It indicates that reward will come from the productive intellect; that the creative faculties have sown good seeds that will reap a harvest. Persons with this “compound” number at their back should carry out their own ideas and plans. It is a fortunate number if it appears in any connection with future events.
28. This number is full of contradictions. It indicates a person of great promise and possibilities who is likely to sec all taken away from him unless he carefully provides for the future. It indicates loss through trust in others, opposition and competition in trade, danger of loss through law, and the likelihood of having to begin life’s road over and over again. It is not a fortunate number for the indication of future events.
29. This number indicates uncertainties, treachery, and deception of others; it foreshadows trials, tribulation, and unexpected dangers, unreliable friends, and grief and deception caused by members of the opposite sex. It gives grave warning if it comes out in anything concerning future events.
30. This is a number of thoughtful deduction, retrospection, and mental superiority over one’s fellows, but, as it seems to belong completely to the mental plane, the persons it represents are likely to put all material things on one side – not because they have to, but because they wish to do so. For this reason it is neither fortunate nor unfortunate, for either depends on the mental outlook of the person it represents. It can be all powerful, but it is just as often indifferent according to the. will or desire of the person.
31. This number is very similar to the preceding one, except that the person it represents is even more self-contained, lonely, and isolated from his fellows. It is not a fortunate number from a worldly or material standpoint.
32. This number has a magical power like the single 5, or the “compound” numbers 14 and 23. It is usually associated with combinations of people or nations. It is a fortunate number if the person it represents holds to his own judgment and opinions; if not, his plans are likely to become wrecked by the stubbornness and stupidity of others. It is a favourable number if it appears in connection with future events.
33. This number has no potency of its own, and consequently has the same meaning as the 24- which is also a 6- and the next to it in its own series of “compound” numbers.
34. Has the same meaning as the number 25, which is the next to it in its own series of “compound” numbers.
35. Has the same meaning as the number 26, which is the next to it in its own series of “compound” numbers.
36. Has the same meaning as the number 27, which is the next o it in its own series of “compound” numbers.
37. This number has a distinct potency of its own. It is a number of good and fortunate friendships in love, and in combinations connected with the opposite sex. It is also good for partnerships of all kinds. It is a fortunate indication if it appears in connection with future events.
38. Has the same meaning as the number 29, which is the next to it in its own series of “compound” numbers.
39. Has the same meaning as the number 30, which is the next to it in its own series of “compound” numbers.
40. Has the same meaning as the number 31, which is next to it in its own series of “compound” numbers.
41. Has the same meaning as the number 32, which is next to it in its own series of “compound” numbers.
42. Has the same meaning as the number 24.
43. This is an unfortunate number. It is symbolised by the signs of revolution, upheaval, strife, failure, and prevention, and is not a fortunate number if it comes out in calculations relating to future events.
44. Has the same meaning as 26.
45. Has the same meaning as 27.
46. Has the same meaning as 37.
47. Has the same meaning as 29.
48. Has the same meaning as 30.
49. Has the same meaning as 31.
50. Has the same meaning as 32.
51. This number has a very powerful potency of its own. It represents the nature of the warrior; it promises sudden advancement in whatever one undertakes; it is especially favourable for those in military or naval life and for leaders in any cause. At the same time it threatens enemies, danger, and the likelihood of assassination.
Desmond Thomas Doss (1919-2006) was commonly known as Desmond Doss. He served as a combat medic during the Second World War. He served unarmed because he claimed conscientious objection on religious grounds. He was wounded several times in combat and managed to rescue between 50 and 100 wounded men to safety at the Battle of Hacksaw Ridge. He was also decorated for his heroism. In 2016, his military career was the subject of a film entitled Hacksaw Ridge, in which he was portrayed by actor Andrew Garfield.
After the war, he could no longer work as a carpenter due to an injury to his left arm. He contracted tuberculosis and later went deaf for a while. As a disabled veteran, he lived with his family on a small farm.
Desmond Doss (born 7 February 1919)
Total Name Number (TNN) of 58 has a base number of 4 according to Chaldean numerology. In numerology, 58 is sometimes considered a variation of the number 13, which symbolizes “Death.” Although the number 4 is in principle associated with the Sun and with complex individuality, in Desmond’s case the number 4 must be associated with Uranus, an unpredictable planet. The number 58 conveys an unusual character and independence. Birth Number 7 is called “Chariot” and can bring successes or failures in war. Birth Number7 is strongly associated with Life Path 29 (base number 2). Therefore, in the event of war, Number 7 feels a great need to help others (29). Birth Number has a quite neutral attitude towards TNN, while Life path has a slightly better attitude.
Desmond Doss had a link between base numbers 1, 3 and 7 at the vowel level, and these numbers also appear at other levels. This combination represents love and faith, which influenced both Desmond’s decision to become a vegetarian and his decision to exercise his right to become a soldier who can refuse to bear arms. In his personal name he has a line of numbers 12, 32 and 20. The base numbers of the numbers are 3 (1+2=3), 5 (3+2=5) and 2 (2+0= 2). The connection between the numbers 2, 3, and 5 may highlight the importance of personal morality.
Before the war, Desmond worked as a carpenter, which is particularly associated with the consonant numbers 20, 10 and 21. The Life Path number is 29, and some of the other numbers in the chart also activate the number 20 in the consonants. The number 20, referred to as “Judgement,” can symbolize hospitals or the rescue of people on the brink of death. The base number of both number 20 and 29 is 2. People with the number 2 often work as medics or as nurses. This is how Desmond got the opportunity to serve in the army as a medic. The strong 2 in conjunction with some other numbers such as 17 in the surname brought Desmond public recognition.
During the war, he severely injured his arm. He lost part of his lungs to tuberculosis soon after the war and later went deaf for a while. The negative trend in his life is indicated on the one hand by the connection between the numbers 58, 21 and 7, and on the other hand by the relationship between the numbers 17 and TNN 58, which attracted the blows of fate into his life. The number 58 in such a configuration brings misfortune. It could represent issues (58; 5+8=13) with the limbs (32), particularly since 32 is not compatible with 17. The base numbers are 5 (3+2=5) and 8 (1+7=8). 5 represents the limbs, 8 represents the problems or illness. 5 also represents the respiratory system. 32 and 17 from the personal name and last name and 20 from the consonant level indicate emotional attachments- a combination of base numbers 2, 5 and 8. But 20 (in connection with 5 and 8) also represents microbes, which may represent a respiratory infection. This interpretation is reinforced by the challenging relationship between TNN 58 and the total consonant number 21. Temporary hearing loss may be associated with base numbers 2, 5, 7 and 8.
Caution should be exercised when analyzing health and life problems using numerology. Numerology has never been a branch of medicine. People with similar numbers and similar relationships between numbers often have similar tendencies to develop health problems and diseases, but everyone is influenced by additional factors (environment, astrology, etc.). Therefore: numerology alone does not give health predictions.
Anmarie Uber is an American numerologist of the last generation. She practices Chaldean numerology. She also specializes in astrology, tarot, massage, channeling, energy healing and Feng Shui. After changing her name to Anmarie Uber, she gained media presence, successfully published several books, and her workshops have become more popular. She has also written a book on manifesting, where she describes the techniques, she uses to overcome limitations and life challenges.

With her new name, the base number from her Total Name Number (TNN) aligns with her Birth Number, 2. Both 2 and 7 are astrologically associated with the Moon and are interchangeable. When they appear together, the energetic power of such a person is significantly enhanced. Anmarie Uber has several numbers in her chart that indicate her visibility in the media. The Moon alone, when strong, can dominate the media. Additionally, there are other numbers in her chart that enhance her potential for public communication and manifestation, such as the numbers 15 and 24, which correspond to Venus. The base numbers 2, 4, and 7 are often significant in fields like occultism, astrology, and numerology. Moreover, Anmarie Uber’s chart includes several numbers that suggest a strong potential for energy healing and channeling.
Her main number for personal partnership is 7. In her chart, the number 7 appears in the compound number 16 (1+6=7). This number also corresponds to her initials, further amplifying its influence. Unfortunately, the number 16 is generally not favorable. Sepharial defined it as “XVI (16). Overthrow; ruin; catastrophe; accidents; falls; dangerous of the elements.” This number indicates that Anmarie Uber needs to put extra effort into her partnerships and be cautious of the disruptive effects of this number in both business and life. Thankfully, various techniques for manifestation and energetic clearing make this easier to manage today. Anmarie has even developed her own self-help method, which she describes in her book “Breaking Your Magnetic Patterns” (2017).
It’s also worth noting that her surname shows a connection between the numbers 15 and 4. This connection is inappropriate as it can bring trouble, strokes of fate, manipulation or manipulation by others, contact with negative entities or even black magic. This combination, along with the unfavorable nature of the numbers 11 and 4 at the consonant level, may also indicate health issues.
Anmarie Uber has thus chosen a name that emphasizes her work in the occult, her quest for knowledge about manifestation and healing, while also enhancing her intellect and potential for public recognition. However, this name also brings challenges that require Anmarie Uber to apply her knowledge and skills in practice—which can be a positive thing. There are many examples of people who have refined their potential through life’s trials.
Her main work on numerology is titled “5 Numbers of Destiny” (2015), which is based on Cheiro’s system of numerology. I agree with Anmarie Uber on most of the correspondences between numbers, including Cheiro’s descriptions, which she summarizes.
Anmarie Uber uses alpha-numeric encoding as advocated by Cheiro
Anmarie Uber has placed much more emphasis than Cheiro on the number obtained from the Birth Number and from the TNN. This number is considered by some to be the Career Number or the Goal Number, but Anmarie Uber prefers to call it the Hidden Number. She has developed several rules that she believes should be used to correctly obtain this number.
She has also developed a specific system to determine what TNN and Hidden Number are appropriate for a person born on a particular day of the month. Unfortunately, it does not provide a theoretical basis for some cases that don’t align with the traditional method (for example, those born on the 28th of the month might choose TNN 31 with a corresponding hidden number of 14 – see “5 Numbers of Destiny”, pages 112-114). Personally, I do not place as much importance on the “Hidden Number.”
The big difference with my approach is certainly in the TNN analysis. I often prefer to use the technique of extracting TNNs by preserving the sovereignty of the base numbers of the first and last name- an ancient technique known and used by Cheiro. In Anmarie Uber’s case, her base numbers are 1 (1+9=10; 1+0=1) and 6 (1+5=6). If we preserve the sovereignty of these two numbers, the TNN would be 16.
Similarly, Anmarie Uber does not consider the analysis of consonants, so she has overlooked the contact between the number 15 and 4. It’s important to understand that no numerologist accounts for all key factors in their approach (and this applies to the author of this article as well!). Therefore, it’s crucial to follow some general guidelines when changing one’s first or last name.
Linda Goodman (1925-1995) was an astrologer, numerologist, radio talk show host, poet, writer and palm reader. She established herself as one of America’s best-known astrologers and as one of the pioneers of modern Chaldean numerology. In her private life, she was marked by the disappearance of her daughter Sally Snyder and was convinced that the body discovered in the police investigation did not belong to her daughter. She searched for her daughter until her death. Another of her daughters had died as a young child.
Mary Alice Kemery (born April 9, 1925)
She was born Mary Alice Kemery. The relationship between total name number (TNN) 4 and birth number 9 indicates a strong and impulsive personality who is very likely to like to be original, but for whom events in life may suddenly take an unfavorable turn. Her birthday is on the 9th of the month. This number bears the tarot name “Hermit“, bringing an interest in the occult and spiritual. The tendency towards the occult is intensified by the number 4. The relationship between 4, 6 and 7 in the names Mary and Alice may bring an interest in palmistry. Another peculiarity of her numbers is the strong predominance of the masculine numbers 1, 3 and 9, which is not very appropriate for women. These numbers have given her even more fight and determination. She also has several combinations of numbers in her first and last name, which indicate an interest in the business side of things. Other combinations indicate warmth and friendship.
When she hosted a radio show during World War II, she took the nickname Linda and, after her partner, she took his last name Goodman. She went on to publish several books under pen name Linda Goodman and to appear on radio and television.
Interestingly, this new name again features the very strong number 4, but her TNN is 9, which is consistent with both her birthday and her life path. Also, in this “pen name” we find the overpowering numbers 1, 3 and 9 again. We also find similar numbers in occultism and a combination of the numbers 4, 6 and 7 (palmistry). The relationship between 5 and 9 has probably also increased her interest in numerology. Her interest in the business side of life is also preserved. The specialty of the name Linda Goodman is that it brings more warmth, more of the spiritual and a gift for media appearances.
For people who have base number 9 in their birthday, the base number 4 may represent artistic talents. For women with base number 9, base number 4 also represents a daughter. Linda Goodman had a strong number 4, which unfortunately did not correspond with her birthday and life path numbers. As a result, her relationship with her daughters was karmically loaded. One of her daughters died as a child and the other disappeared. Linda Goodman’s base number 4 numbers represent sudden and usually unfavourable twists of fate. It is interesting that, despite her numerological knowledge, Linda Goodman has persevered with numbers that have brought her public recognition and a certain success, but also much suffering.
Linda Goodman used alpha-numeric encoding as advocated by Cheiro
Linda Goodman’s numerological approach, described in her book Star Signs, did not use vowel and consonant analysis, but she described the individual numbers in more depth than her role model Cheiro did, and she did it very well. She also departed from Cheiro in the way she determined compound number in TNN (Goodman, Linda (1987). Star Signs. Pan Books. Pages 152, 157, 160, 162, 170-171). Her approach was to first add all the numbers in a person’s first or last name to the base number, and then add these numbers to the TNN. The exception is if the numbers 11 or 22 appear in the first or last name – then these two numbers are not added to the base number but are taken into account when adding them in the TNN. For example, the first name 11 and the last name 14 are added as 11+ 5= 16. The first name 15 and the last name 16 are added as 6+ 7= 13. In case the addition of the base numbers does not give a result greater than 9, the unreduced numbers are added. For example, if we have first name 12 and last name 13, then 3+4 gives 7 and this number has no power. Instead, we add 12+13=25. Personally, I do not use Linda Goodman’s approach. But I very much appreciate her descriptions of the numbers.
Although I have been using and studying Chaldean numerology for many years, I will also write some articles on Pythagorean numerology. Why would someone write anything about a “competing” method of numerology? One reason is that the Pythagorean method is based on the official sequence of the alphabet and is therefore located in the collective matrix. The question is whether the effects of Pythagorean numerology are tangible, or how strongly this pattern works in the matrix.
Based on a multitude of analyses, I am personally convinced by Chaldean numerology. I was disappointed with Pythagorean numerology, especially when studying the influence of the universal and personal years, months and days. However, two or three years ago I also became acquainted with a particular Pythagorean technique which seems to have a predictive validity of about 80% (more analysis would be needed). The Chaldean approach is undoubtedly the leading one when analyzing a personal chart. There are several pitfalls to be considered and known by the numerologist when changing a first or last name. In fact, this is why some Chaldean numerologists use the Pythagorean school as an additional aid in their analysis. This eclectic approach was pioneered by numerologist Lloyd Strayhorn. It is a kind of fine-tuning to get the most out of a change of first or last name.
So, what can we say about Pythagorean numerology? Its originator is said to have been Pythagoras, half mythological being and half philosopher. Some consider it to represent the combined “embodiment” of several philosophers. The most widely accepted interpretation is that he lived in the 6th century BC and that he formed a secret spiritual and philosophical school around 500 BC. There is no historical evidence that Pythagoras also used numerology. The first Pythagorean to use numerology is thought to have been the 5th century BC philosopher Philolaus. Pythagorean numerology had a unique interpretation of numbers in antiquity – the monad (1) was supposed to represent God and unity, the dyad (2) was supposed to represent duality, the tryad (3) represented perfection, and so on. For some, the number 10 represents the tetractys, a special and sacred number.
The original Pythagoreans numbered the Greek alphabet, but later they also began to study the sequence of letters in the Latin alphabet. Sometimes they assigned ones to the first nine letters, tens to the next nine, and hundreds to the rest. At other times, ordinal values were used, where a number in the sequence was assigned to the letter. By the beginning of the 20th century, reduced values from 1 to 9 prevailed. We can see some historical alpha-numeric codes in Pythagorean numerology, shown with reduced values for ease of comparison with modern coding:
Modern Pythagorean numerology as an occult or metaphysical science about the influence of numbers on people’s destiny was developed in the 16th century by Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa. His coding was used by some numerologists until the beginning of the 20th century. Interestingly, between 1870 and 1908, Pythagorean numerologists mainly used the system first traced by Louisa Lawford (1870). Her descriptions of numbers are quite different from the ancient Pythagorean school and are in some places influenced by Chaldean numerology, or at least the numerology of the Tarot. From the total name number (TNN) it was necessary to subtract the highest number described that could be subtracted. Then we use the next highest possible number… The numbers we have used are supposed to have a special meaning. This approach is not very convincing; Sepharial claimed that such list of numbers was an expanded version of another text, and that not all numbers should be considered.
In 1908, Luo Clement and L. Dow Balliett each published a book. Both used modern alphabet numbering and different meanings of numbers than Lawford’s. This gave birth to the modern Pythagorean school. Luo Clement used the system of tryads (1&5&7; 3&6&9; 2&4&8) and the day-of-the-month analysis. L. Dow Balliett, on the other hand, used the Life Path number and attributed to the numbers 9 and 11 meanings like those in the symbolism of the tarot and arcana IX (the Hermit) and 11 (the Force) respectively. The mastery of the lion in the symbolism of arcana 11 represents a force. The English word MASTER has the value 4+1+1+2+5+9= 22. The concept of master numbers 11 and 22 is a complete innovation which has no connection with the older Pythagorean tradition.
The approach of L. Dow Balliett prevailed over all others, as Balliett managed to gather several enthusiastic students (Julia Seton, Roy Page Walton, etc.) around her. In addition to Life Path and vowels, they soon began to analyze consonants, universal and personal years, months and days, and the four pinnacles. They also developed predictive techniques with transits of letters. In this method, the distinctions between odd and even numbers are often of great value. The first manual to present this new numerological trend in a comprehensive way was Florence Campbell‘s Your Days are Numbered (1930). This school of numerology was so successful that it almost completely superseded Chaldean numerology after the Second World War. Until a few years ago, up to 95% (and perhaps even more) of all numerology books belonged to this approach.
It was also the L. Dow Balliett school that some Chaldean numerologists (Strayhorn) began to include in their analyses. Some Chaldean numerologists, however, have stuck to the Chaldean alpha-numeric coding, but then follow the Pythagorean approach when analyzing the results. The first Chaldean numerologist to do this was Montrose, followed by Mykian.
In 1870, Louisa Lawford described a specific system of Pythagorean numerology (Lawford, Louisa (1870): The Dream Book and Fortune -Teller. London, George Routledge and Sons. Pages 103-107). The descriptions of the numbers are quite different from the ancient Pythagorean school and are in some places influenced by Chaldean numerology or at least Tarot numerology. From the total name number (TNN) it was necessary to subtract the highest number described that could be subtracted. Then we use the next highest possible number… The numbers we have used are supposed to have a special meaning. This approach is not very convincing; Sepharial was convinced that her list of numbers was an expanded version of another text, and that not all numbers should be considered.
1. Passion, ambition, design.
2. Destruction, death, catastrophe.
3. Religion, destiny, the soul, charms.
4. Solidity, wisdom, power.
5. The stars, happiness, graces, marriage.
6. Perfection, labour.
7. Course of life, repose, liberty, perfect happiness.
The way we interpret the numbers is to first add all the numbers to TNN, according to the system of Great Values. Jean Jacques Rousseau has 616+ 969+ 716= 2331. From his TNN with value of 2331, we first eliminate the number 2000 (which has no special meaning) and we are left with 331. From this number, we first take away 300, which has the meaning “Safety, belief, faith, philosophy,” and we are left with 31, which has the meaning “Love of glory.”
became established, which, due to its connection with the letter waw and the sound “w,” has the value of 6.
