Real and Imagined Differences Between Pythagorean and Chaldean Numerology

~ Boštjan Lovrat ~ Leave a comment

Chaldean numerology is less well known in the modern world compared to Pythagorean numerology. There are some claims or ideas about what the differences between the two approaches are. Unfortunately, most of these claims are controversial or fake news. Such simplifications put many numerologists in the awkward position of making or repeating nonsensical claims. So, what are the fundamental differences and similarities between these schools? Below, I present some of the established claims about the differences between the two, along with my commentary.

1. In Chaldean numerology, the Latin alphabet is numbered by finding phonetic equivalents in the numerical systems of Western Semitic alphabets. Pythagorean numerology, on the other hand, ignores the phonetic aspects of the individual letters, but numbers the letters of the Latin alphabet in such a way that they correspond to the current order of the letters, either in the English alphabet or in the alphabets of other peoples.

THE STATEMENT IS TRUE. Chaldean numerology does indeed look for the answer in the ancient way of ordering numbers and letters in relation to phonetic values. Today’s Chaldean numerology, however, is no longer completely tied to phonetic values, either in the Latin or in the Hebrew script, but uses general approximations.

2. In Chaldean numerology, the number 9 is never used when numbering the letters of the alphabet because it is considered sacred.

IT IS FAKE NEWS. This claim was made by Cheiro in 1926.[1]  Since Cheiro is the most popular Chaldean numerologist, this falsehood has been spread by many other numerologists who have followed Cheiro’s teachings.[2]  Cheiro’s claim can be easily debunked by examining the ancient alphabet and its Chaldean numbering. One of these letters is the letter Ṭet (the voice of Ṭ), which has the value 9. Another letter is the letter Ṣade (the voice of Ṣ), which has the values 9, 18 and 90 (depending on the numbering model used; even in the case of 18 and 90, the digits add up to 9). The reason why the Chaldean alpha-numerical code of Latin alphabet does not have the number 9 is simply that in Europe the voices Ṭ and Ṣ do not have universally accepted specific letters. The Czechs, Poles, Croats and Slovenes have a voice called Ts, which is pronounced similarly to Ṣ, but they use the letter C, which has a value of 3, to spell this voice.

Aramaic alphabet with letters for Ṭ and Ṣ sounds.

3. Chaldean numerology is more tradition-based, while Pythagorean numerology is more concerned with finding new ways of interpretation.

THE STATEMENT IS PARTIALLY CORRECT.  Especially from the numerologist Cheiro onwards, Chaldean numerology is strongly linked to traditional meanings of numbers and to traditional correspondences between numbers. Modern Pythagorean numerology, on the other hand, breaks more from tradition in its interpretation and seeks modern approaches. There is certainly no black and white picture here. Innovations are found in both approaches, but there are also examples in Pythagorean numerology of a returning to older traditions.

4. Pythagorean numerology was developed by the Greek philosopher Pythagoras, while Chaldean numerology was actually developed in ancient Persia or ancient India.

THE STATEMENT IS INCORRECT. The first examples of the use of Pythagorean numerology are found in the Pythagorean numerologist Philolaus, although we cannot exclude the possibility that the foundations of this numerology were indeed developed by Pythagoras. The earliest examples of the use of  numerology are found among the ancient Arameans and Jews. It is almost certain that the Chaldeans also began to use this numerology. However, it is not necessarily true that the Chaldeans were the first to develop this kind of numerology. Pandit Sethuraman claimed decades ago that Chaldean numerology originated in India. He does not offer adequate evidence for this claim. Moreover, by studying the history of ancient peoples, it appears that this numerology was formed among the Western Semites, although it is probably not possible to determine with which of these people it originated. Cheiro describes how he received the knowledge of numerology from Indian Brahmins.[3]  By analysing Cheiro’s book on numerology, we come to the specific names of these “Indian Brahmins”: the British numerologist Sepharial aka. Walter Gorn Old, the Australian Jew Isidore Kozminsky, the American numerologist Luo Clement and others. So, although he may have got some of his knowledge from Indians, in general it is a deliberate deception to which almost all present-day Chaldean numerologists have fallen prey.

Danish numerologist Danielsson went a step further, presenting the idea that Chaldean numerology developed in ancient Persia.[4] He did not offer any substantial evidence for this claim. He only offered a nice story about his Iranian teacher who showed him millennia-old tablets which supposedly preserved records of Chaldean numerology. These plates are said to contain the very same descriptions of the numbers 10-32, 37, 43 and 51 as Cheiro describes in his 1926 book.[5] Cheiro’s descriptions of the numbers are derived from even older descriptions of the numbers by 19th and 20th century European numerologists, so this teacher -if he existed- could only have been passing on Cheiro’s descriptions of the numbers.

5. In Pythagorean numerology, numbers are primarily interpreted as odd or even, while in Chaldean numerology, there is a distinction between strong numbers (1, 3, 5, and 6) and other numbers.

THIS CLAIM IS ONLY PARTIALLY TRUE. In Pythagorean numerology, we do indeed often find the numbers separated into odd and even, but representatives of this school sometimes use other ways to explore the nature of the numbers and the correspondences between them.

6. The meanings of the numbers 9, 11, and 22 differ between the two schools.

THIS CLAIM IS NOT ENTIRELY TRUE. Most modern Pythagorean numerologists define these numbers differently from the way Chaldean numerology defines them. In doing so, modern Pythagorean numerologists rely primarily on the traditions of the Tarot without understanding the inner structure of Tarot numerology or the numerology of the Major Arcana. Over a hundred years ago Pythagorean numerologists interpreted the numbers 9, 11 and 22 differently, sometimes even adopting the Chaldean interpretation. On the other hand, some modern Chaldean numerologists have adopted the meanings of the numbers 9, 11 and 22 as they are usually described by Pythagorean numerologists.[6]  Linda Goodman considered the numbers 11 and 22 only in the rules for adding the first and last names to the total name numbers.[7]

7. Pythagorean numerologists do not attribute a major role to compound numbers other than 10, 11 and 22, while Chaldean numerologists describe compound numbers up to and including 52.

THE STATEMENT IS FALSE. There are several Pythagorean numerologists who described numbers above 9 (Cochran, Laurie, Adams, etc.). In addition, Chaldean numerologists from the 19th century and the early 20th century were influenced by Tarot theory and described numbers such as 55, 65, 69, and 71. Pandit Sethuraman, however, stopped at the number 108.[8]

8. When analyzing birth data, Pythagorean numerology uses the Life Path number, while Chaldean numerology uses the day of the month.[9]

THIS STATEMENT IS FALSE. Some Pythagorean numerologists as early as the beginning of the 20th century used the number of the birthday of the month. On the other hand, the Chaldean numerologist Walter B. Gibson used the Life Path number when analysing birth data. Many modern Chaldean numerologists use both numbers.

9. In Chaldean numerology, when analyzing birth data, the day of the month, month number, and year number must be interpreted separately.

THIS IS FAKE NEWS. This claim was made by Cheiro in 1926.[10]  Since Cheiro is the most popular Chaldean numerologist, this untruth was spread by many other numerologists who followed him. The addition of all three date numbers appeared already in ancient numerology.

10. In Pythagorean numerology, vowel numbers, consonant numbers, and whole numbers are used, while in Chaldean numerology, only whole numbers are used.

THIS IS FAKE NEWS. In Pythagorean numerology, the division into vowel numbers, consonant numbers and whole numbers is found as early as the second century AD. In Chaldean numerology, the first examples of the use of vowel and consonant numbers are found in the 19th century. Influenced by Pythagorean numerology, the use of vowel and consonant numbers is also found in some modern Chaldean numerologists.

11. Pythagorean numerology is more material, while Chaldean numerology is more spiritual. Thus, the former is to be used more in describing character and career, the latter in describing karma or destiny.[11]

THIS CLAIM IS MORE OR LESS UNTRUE. If certain numbers truly chart a life path, then they describe our destiny. If numbers do not describe the course of destiny, such numerology is not valid. On the other hand, in Chaldean numerology, numbers are also used to determine their influence on an individual’s character, career, health, and relationships.

12. In Pythagorean numerology, vowel numbers represent emotions and relationships, whereas in Chaldean numerology, such numbers have a more spiritual aspect.

THIS STATEMENT IS ACCURATE BASED ON MY RESEARCH. This is a case which essentially deviates from the general rule in point 11.

13. Pythagorean numerology is not related to astrology, while Chaldean numerology is.[12]

THIS STATEMENT IS ONLY PARTIALLY TRUE. Pythagorean numerologists generally do not focus on finding connections between numbers and planets. Chaldean numerology, on the other hand, generally links numbers to planets or even to zodiacal signs. However, there are also Pythagorean numerologists who advocate for a connection between numerology and astrology. The father of modern numerology, Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa, was a Pythagorean numerologist who, in the 16th century, adopted the Chaldean model of linking numbers with planets! He was followed a century later by the Pythagorean numerologist John Heydon.

14. Pythagorean numerology has techniques for predicting fate by using numbers for each year, month and day, while Chaldean numerology is largely unconcerned with predicting the future.

THE STATEMENT IS NOT VERY TRUE. Pythagorean numerology has now been using universal and personal days, months and years and the four pinnacles for nearly a century. According to my information, before this, it did not use any specific predictive techniques. Classical Chaldean numerology did have some approaches for studying the future, but Cheiro largely discouraged Chaldean numerologists from this exploration. He placed more emphasis on astrology and palmistry for his predictions. Today, many Chaldean numerologists are adopting Pythagorean predictive techniques. Personally, I am quite critical and reticent about such approaches. I will discuss this further at another time.

3 or 6 sandwiched by another number

~ Boštjan Lovrat ~ Leave a comment

The numbers 3 and 6 have a traditionally dubious, even negative relationship. The reasons may be historical, as societies in the Middle East developed legal systems (3) that strictly regulated sexual practices (6). In more recent numerological practices, however, these two numbers have a favorable mutual relationship. There is at least one situation where this relationship can act unfavorably.

When the numbers 3 or 6 find themselves trapped with each other, it can activate a mild aspect of opposition. This involves the alternation of energy. Such a relationship is strongest when activated in a straight line (see the illustration), but the minimum condition is dealing with an unbroken chain (for example, first name number 3, surname number 6, consonant number 3). The vowel number will not yield a result. An additional condition is that the number 9 must not form an unbroken chain together with the numbers 3 and 6.

The number 3 primarily represents the planet Jupiter, and the number 6 represents Venus. Similarly, the number 3 represents exaggeration, aggression, and masculinity, while the number 6 represents pleasure, sexuality, and femininity. The conflicting relationship can signify debauchery, adultery, inappropriate pleasures, snobbery, greed, high ego and the like.

In a positive sense, such a close connection between 3 and 6 can also mean that the number squeezing the other number represents a kind of embrace. However, the conflict in the relationship still prevails in such a situation. At least a partial solution for such a situation is the presence and sufficient strength of the number 9. This way, a kind of beneficial embrace is created in this situation.

CHAIN OF NUMBERS 2&3&5

~ Boštjan Lovrat ~ Leave a comment

Today I am going to talk about a topic that most Chaldean numerologists are not familiar with, and that is chains of numbers. These are the special patterns created by numbers interacting with each other.  The chains or formations are typically made up of three numbers. When three numbers are linked together, the interactions may be different than if we only study the relationship between two numbers. For example, the relationship between 3 and 7 is usually problematic, but there are chains that can balance these two numbers under certain conditions. Unfortunately, most numerologists work only with the interpretation of the relationship between two numbers and not with chains of numbers. Thus, chain of numbers find themselves in the field of advanced or secret numerology, when in fact this should not be the case. It is, after all, the basics of Chaldean numerology.

One such chain, which can be traced back to ancient times, is the chain of the numbers 2&3&5. It was known to the ancient Egyptians, who associated the number 2 with the goddess Isis (Auset), the number 3 with the god Osiris (Ausar), and the number 5 with the god Horus (Hore). For the numbers to form a chain, they must be in sufficiently strong interconnection. There are special rules about this, which we might discuss another time. A chain of numbers is definitely present when it is found in the complete number of a person’s given name, in the complete number of a surname and in the Total Name Number (TNN):

The formation of the numbers 2&3&5 can represent marriage or a child, as well as the need to purify oneself – to purify one’s body, morals, thinking or acting. In principle, it works mildly favorably, but it can bring with it some trials. This is because the numbers 3 and 5 are basically quite alien to each other, and the number 2 often does not work well on the number 3 or on the number 5. Only when these three numbers find themselves in a common chain does the situation improve.

This formation by itself does not necessarily signify spiritual progress. It may, for example, primarily emphasize physical cleansing, such as the elimination of toxins from the body. However, if other indicators are present, it can certainly also be an indicator of potential for spiritual development. Holistic cleansing, sooner or later, tends to bring about a spiritual life. It can also lead to improvements in material situation and social standing, depending again on other indicators. Although the number 3 belongs to distinctly masculine numbers, the formation of numbers 2&3&5 is somewhat more feminine, soft, or at least gentle in nature.

People with such a number chain are often found to be teachers, sociologists, psychologists, and individuals who work with children and with relationships between partners or between parents and children. The formation is at least partially connected with money and financial professions, so it is less commonly encountered in people from the lower social strata. Sometimes, people with this formation have a significant emphasis on sexuality, which can be positive or negative. Sometimes people with this formation have their sexuality quite exposed, either in a positive or a negative aspect.

If they are engaged in spiritual development and the sexual energy is too active, I recommend that they occasionally transmute the sexual energy into the energies of the higher chakras. The knowledge of this was perhaps first publicly revealed by the Filipino master Choa Kok Sui (1952-2007) in his book “The Spiritual Essence of Man: The Chakras and the Inverted Tree of Life“ (in the 2017 edition, the technique is described on pages 142-152).

In case people with the chain of numbers 2&3&5 decide to work on a deeper body cleansing, which is also related to subconscious patterns, I therefore advise them to consult the works of Thomas Hanna (1928 -1990), who made major breakthroughs in the field of practical somatics. Even more in-depth knowledge in this area is provided by the AEQ method, which has built upon the insights of Thomas Hanna. Unfortunately, I have no information on whether the latter method is also available to an English-speaking audience.

Finally, I would like to mention that the formation of the numbers 2&3&5 is of course also present in the structures of the numbers 23 and 32, where the digits in both numbers add up to 5. Nevertheless, we must remain cautious, as there are certain differences between this chain of numbers and the vibration of the composite numbers 23 and 32.

NUMEROLOGICAL IMPACTS AND THE COVID PANDEMIC (or the Great Cleansing 2019-2022)

~ Boštjan Lovrat ~ Leave a comment

I posted this writing about the Covid epidemic on 29 Aug 2021 in a closed FB group, with the prediction that the main chapter of this hellish period will be completed in the first months of 2022. Covid has been out of the mainstream of social events for some time now. However, for those who study Chaldean numerology, this article still provides an interesting insight into some aspects of mundane numerology. Mundane numerology is something that is quite neglected among writers of numerological blogs and books. Perhaps there are indeed individuals capable of providing even more accurate answers about the political, economic, and cultural destiny of nations using Chaldean numerology. But this knowledge has not yet reached the majority of numerologists. Therefore, a contribution such as the one I am presenting below is certainly also of interest to other Chaldean numerologists.

As this paper was originally intended for a restricted readership, it unfortunately does not contain references, although the content calls for them. Therefore, I must at least mention a key work of mundane astrology, the contents of which I have compared with Chaldean numerology. This is “Planetary Cycles. Mundane Astrology“, published in English translation in 2016 by the French astrologer Andre Barbault. In this book, Barbault also mentions the Cyclic Indicator created by Henri Gouchon, another French astrologer. 

=============================

I have decided to share with you, in a small circle, some of my experiences in the field of numerological insights. Chaldean numerology has been with me in one form or another for almost three decades. However, I have only started to study mundane events, i.e. the fate of nations and the world, using this method last year. This area of numerology is quite unexplored, so please do not take this record as an absolute fact. Nevertheless, I am publishing this analysis because I have taken into account a number of indicators that are characteristic of more advanced forms of Chaldean numerology and added them all together into simple summation ranks. In this way I have tried to bring some objectivity to this metaphysical challenge.

It should be borne in mind that numerology is not the only method for monitoring the destiny of humanity. Numerological influences can be mitigated or amplified by other aspects of destiny. One possible aspect of influences is mundane Feng Shui. I am personally too unfamiliar with the mundane influences of Feng Shui that affect world events to use this approach. The Chinese teacher Raymond Lo has done some research in the direction of using Feng Shui to explain world history, but I do not have information on the link between Feng Shui and the pandemic. There is another area for correcting numerological analysis and that is mundane astrology. Therefore, in this contribution, I will summarize some astrological findings that have been arrived at by various astrologers of Western astrology and Indian astrology or Jyotish.

One of the most famous Western astrologers working on mundane astrology is undoubtedly Andre Barbault. In 2014, Barbault predicted that a serial conjunction between Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto would be at work in 2020-2021 and possibly by 2022, plus a square with Uranus (and a semi-square with Neptune). Moreover, the planets are at minimum distance in 2020 according to the Gouchon index, which, according to Barbault, itself indicates a period of trouble. The planets in play, he believes, bring difficult tests, whether in the area of political upheaval (global chaos, possible migration, possible break-up of the EU), natural disasters or the outbreak of a pandemic. He was particularly concerned about Europe, as Europe’s history is dominated by the conjunctions between Jupiter and Saturn. He specifically pointed out that the devastating Black Death pandemic of 1347 was caused by Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto meeting and that they would be back in play in 2020-2021, perhaps even as late as 2023. After this period, he would not mention the pandemic again.

What’s more, in 2026, the world is expected to be in a great shape. The conjunction of Saturn and Neptune, which usually brings revolutions and social upheavals, is this time in sextile with Uranus and Pluto. Therefore, it is expected to be the best period for the planet in the entire 21st century, characterized by great harmony and a renaissance of civilization. I should add that Barbault predicted, on the basis of the relationship between Saturn and Pluto, which also governs modern China, that the conjunction of Saturn and Pluto in 2020-2021 would make China the most important player in world politics. If it lacked enough power then, the latest it could achieve this role would be the conjunction of Uranus and Saturn in 2032. It seems that world peace will be restored with a great revival, on the basis that a tired Washington is undoubtedly bidding farewell to the world throne and Beijing is still a little too weak to engage fully in global politics.

Indian astrologer Shiv Sadhika Ma Vishwapoora claims that COVID is linked to the relationship between Jupiter and the North Lunar Node, and according to his analysis, the pandemic should end by April 2022. Vastu Acharya Manoj Sri Vastava associates COVID with Pluto, Jupiter, and the North Lunar Node, and also examines retrograde and direct planetary movements as well as the Indian signs of Taurus and Aquarius, which are thought to be linked to the respiratory system. Indian signs are shifted by 24 degrees compared to Western signs. According to him, things should start improving only in December 2021 and January 2022, when Pluto completes the first stage of its direct movement. The situation, which is expected to remain tense in the first part of 2022, should then calm down, and everything should be over between February and April 2023, as Jupiter and the North Lunar Node move into Aries. A more isolated opinion comes from Pandit Jaganath Guruji, who claims that recurring waves of COVID could continue until 2025, and in a very weakened or mild form, COVID could persist until 2029.

I must comment that Barbault’s analyses and predictions are surprising. The European Union has indeed partially disintegrated in 2019/2020 with Brexit. However, the UK and the US are linked by cycles of Uranus and Neptune, which are also involved in the 2019-2022 alignments, and so this development is not surprising. As for 2026, the numerological picture somewhat clouds this, so we can expect a largely calm situation at a time when the US and China are roughly equal in power. We should also bear in mind that astrological mundane influences are not always precise, can come early or, more often, with a delay, and do not necessarily last for the entire period of an event. Similarly, numerological cycles, when not astrologically supported, are often not strong enough.

From a numerological point of view, viruses are associated with the numbers 1, 2, and 3, and the respiratory system with the numbers 4, 5, and 6. The name Corona vibrates with the numbers 25, 10, and 31. It warns against the hidden dangers (25), the alternation of good and difficult periods (10), and isolation and strife (31). Similarly, Covid 19 vibrates with the numbers 4 (13, 31, 40) and 41, representing the respiratory system, and 4 also represents harder fates, conflicts and isolations (31). The number of diseases 71 is also present. The presence of the numbers 1 and 3 represents microbes. The number 19 does not get along well with 3 and 71. Also, the numbers that add up to 4 are not a suitable outlet for the energies 19 and 1 respectively (the reverse direction is fine). The numbers 21 and 19 found in this designation are auspicious and represent children, youth and the drive to succeed. This is a possible numerological explanation for why the young are, so far at least, tolerating the virus quite well, and why youth are still somewhat cornered (around the number 71 and the number 4).

If we translate numbers into planets, then among the slow planets that interest us most in mundane matters, we have the active planets Jupiter (1, 3 and to a lesser extent 2), Saturn (71), Uranus or the North Node of the Moon (4), Neptune (7), and in the case of indicators, also Pluto (2 and 0). The very planets and the North Node of the Moon are therefore the ones that Western and Indian astrology (!) also describe as triggers of pandemics and represent a kind of apocalypse. These planets and numbers therefore represent everything that is pressing in on us and testing us during this period. The number 4 and to a lesser extent 71 are concerned with isolation, Jupiter and Pluto signify the spread of chaos, a disturbed or perverted legal order, internal illness, perhaps toxins, Saturn and Neptune invite protests, Jupiter and Uranus warn of the intensity of events, Neptune in semi-square to Jupiter can mean the spread of misinformation on all sides (from far-fetched assumptions to government officials lying), Saturn and Neptune represent the theme of death, and Uranus and Neptune also the beginnings of some troublesome trends. Sound familiar? 

A similar situation to what we have now occurred in the years 1918-1920, during the Spanish flu pandemic. Numerologically, the years leading up to that outbreak, starting from 1914, were particularly difficult, but they did not have strong indicators for the development and spread of microbes. Those difficult years were the years of the First World War. The numerological indicators for a pandemic attacking the respiratory system significantly increased in 1917 and persisted until 1920. Nevertheless, despite the numerological indicators for a possible pandemic, nothing happened in 1917. Why not? Remember: the influences of fate are significantly strengthened if the numerological and astrological influences reinforce each other, and this is probably an important reason. The astrological influences did not appear until 1918. Jupiter, Pluto, Uranus, and Saturn created significant aspects between 1918 and 1920. For example, Jupiter and Pluto were in opposition in 1918, and Jupiter and Uranus had an aspect in 1920. All of this was connected by the opposition between Saturn and Uranus from 1918-1920. The numerological and astrological indicators were mutually supportive, so that the pandemic was strong notwithstanding the fact that in 1919 the general energy level of both the astrological and numerological indicators had risen considerably.

In the diagram below, the indicators of Chaldean numerology for the current Covid-19 pandemic are presented. The potential for microbial development is illustrated by the green line, the potential for respiratory system vulnerability by the black line, and the red line represents the general trend. It can be observed that the respiratory system had been energetically weakened as early as 2018, and a very clear and significant decline in the curve representing microbes (green line) was observed at the end of 2019 or the beginning of 2020. An energetic low point was reached in 2020 (interestingly, this is also supported by the astrological Gouchon index) – the world was literally brought to a standstill by the pandemic at that time.

If the 0’s are eliminated in 2020, 22 is obtained, which is representative of loneliness, isolation, and misguided advice. In Tarot, it is represented as the 0 card (2-2=0) and is called “The Fool“, and in the mundane realm, it can also represent incorrect, fixed ideas that are socially harmful. This is just one of the numerological aspects of this year that has made matters considerably worse. For example, this year can also be described as the year 20, as this number is repeated several times (e.g. as 20 and 20 is 2020). The number 20 in the Tarot is described as the “Judgement“, in which the dead are brought back to life. This symbolism can symbolically represent many things, e.g. nearly dead people being brought back to life in hospital (coming out of a coma).

Returning to the indicators of Chaldean numerology, it can be observed that, fortunately, such a dramatic drop in energy as was experienced in 2020 is no longer observed in the following years. Based on the pandemic’s onset in the indicator chart, pools can be created (a green pool indicating a period of stronger microbial activity and a grey pool indicating greater respiratory weakness), and it can be seen that the situation will start to improve in late 2021 and early 2022, as predicted by many astrological predictions. Although the respiratory system will energetically strengthen in 2022 and 2023, a new large green pool of microbes is foreseen for the period from late 2022 to 2025. There are several possible interpretations – from the observation that this may no longer necessarily be a Covid pandemic, or even about microbes at all, but rather other phenomena governed by the numbers 1-2-3. After that year, numerological indicators for a pandemic are no longer detected.

According to the general Gouchon indicator and the Chaldean numerology indicators, we see that after 2021 the planetary energy level in various areas of life will be greatly corrected and many years of greater peace and harmony await us, at least on a global, general level. The great energetic cleansing is to a considerable extent slowly coming to an end. It seems to be winding down already in a few months and at the latest by the beginning of 2022. No doubt some actors would like to see this crisis drag on indefinitely. However, the intentions of such people will lose both astrological and numerological energetic support within a few months, and their plans will be fairly derailed. If we have been through all this, let us not give up now, but rather hold on for the next few months. The Sun always shines again after the rain and the forecast is good. May every moment be filled with positive energy for you!

Yahya Al-Sinwar and Chaldean Numerology

~ Boštjan Lovrat ~ 2 Comments
Yahya Al-Sinwar (born 29 October 1962)

Yahya Al-Sinwar is one of the key leaders of Hamas in Gaza and is currently one of the main opponents of Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu. Al-Sinwar is responsible for the massacre of hundreds of civilians on October 7, 2023, in Israel. Due to his actions, he is also being prosecuted by the International Criminal Court. Fortunately, the name Yahya Al-Sinwar contains letters that allow us to draw parallels with Chaldean or Hebrew gematria. The letters of the Arabic alphabet primarily represent consonants. Although some letters in their alphabet cannot easily be assigned values from Chaldean numerology, in the case of Al-Sinwar, this issue does not arise.

What does Chaldean numerology say about Yahya Al-Sinwar? The number associated with his birthday (29) reveals that he is attached to family life. His life path number (30) suggests the possibility that he might turn towards religion. Numbers 30, 48, and 52 can be associated with warriors and religious ideology. The surname contains the number 48, which brings a certain sacrifice into this person’s life. The name Yahya corresponds to the number 11, and his birth date 29 also adds up to the number 11. The number 11 can represent struggle and conflict, and in many cases, fears. This specific 11 is supported by the number 52, which can indicate wars, conflicts, or violence.

Additionally, all numbers with a base digit of 3 can be militant. Numbers 11 and 52 are lunar numbers that can operate covertly. In particular, the number 52 also governs terrorism, secret projects, and conspiracies. The surname Al-Sinwar brings the numbers 4, 17, and 48. The relationship between the numbers 4 and 17 suggests that the person can become known in connection with some unfavorable developments. The total number of his family name is 48, the number of victims, and Yahya Al-Sinwar himself can also be a victim.

Israeli surgeons removed a brain tumor from Yahya Al-Sinwar years ago. Numerologically, such a tumor can be associated with the base digit 7, as well as with the number 4 and the unfavorable digit 3, which we find in the number 48.

A few words about the massacre on October 7, 2023. According to the Israeli newspaper Ha’aretz, Palestinians killed at least 581 civilians in this attack on Israeli territory, while the Israeli army, following the brutal Hannibal Doctrine, killed at least 216 civilians. Including the armed forces, the total number of casualties on the Israeli side is reported to be 1,166, with some of the armed individuals actually being killed by the Israeli army itself. (Robert Lindsay (Nov 11, 2023): Israeli Death Tolls for the October 7 Hamas Attack on Israel. Internet Source: Beyond Highbrow.) If this source is to be believed, one-third of the civilian casualties were actually caused by the Israelis themselves.

Hamas is both a national liberation movement and a radical Islamist movement and terrorist organization. History provides several examples where members of liberation movements carried out terrorist attacks or engaged in terror and violence. The Boston Tea Party is a well-known example, as are various guerrilla groups in Europe that conducted terror and sabotage during World War II. Jewish zealots in the first century AD similarly carried out attacks on the Romans, and Israeli Jews also attacked the British. I come from Slovenia. Before World War II, Slovenians resisted Italian occupiers through terrorism, and during the war, they conducted guerrilla actions against the Germans and Italians.

The lesson of this story is the following: although terrorism will always remain terrorism, terrorist actions can also represent an expression of the national liberation struggle. Fallen terrorists are martyrs to their supporters. Sooner or later, Israelis will have to reconsider their treatment of the Palestinian people; otherwise, they will face more and more Yahya Al-Sinwars, and the existence of the Israeli state will be put into question.

SEPHARIAL’S CHALDEAN INTERPRETATIONS OF COMPOUND NUMBERS IN “KABALISTIC ASTROLOGY”

~ Boštjan Lovrat ~ Leave a comment

The interpretations of compound numbers, as described in Sepharial‘s work ‘Your Fortune in Your Name or Kabalistic Astrology‘ (revised edition from 1909), had a significant influence on Isidore Kozminsky and Cheiro, thereby shaping the development of modern Chaldean numerology. Sepharial delineates these compound numbers within the framework of 32 ‘Points of Departure,’ which correspond to individual tarot arcana.

The basics of the descriptions stem from Kabbalistic astrology as defined by Sepharial’s predecessors. The descriptions of the arcana up to and including arcana IX are not provided here, as they appear to be heavily influenced by the Pythagorean numerologist John Heydon.

The descriptions of the other arcana are as follows:

X (10). Elevation from a humbler position; or fall from a higher position; reversals; auguries, future events.

XI (11). Success in some bold enterprises; courage; decision; energy.

XIX (19). Good fortune; successful marriage; honours; glory; reputation; happy associations.

XXI (21). Dignities; honors; success; aspirations.

Chaldean Numerology and Nikola Tesla

~ Boštjan Lovrat

Nikola Tesla (born 10 July 1856;  Old style/Julian calendar: 28 June 1856)

Nikola Tesla was a famous inventor of Serbian descent, born in Austria-Hungary, in the territory of present-day Croatia. He particularly studied electricity, lightning, and the electromagnetic field. He discovered alternating current and contributed to the construction of the world’s first hydroelectric power plant. He was also skilled at attracting wealthy patrons. On the other hand, he lived an eccentric private life in seclusion surrounded by pigeons.

BEING INTELLECTUAL

What does Chaldean numerology tell us about this inventor? In numerical terms, the strong presence of the digit one (10, 28) is notable in his calendar numbers, with one also appearing in name numbers (10, 19). Such a strong presence of the digit one symbolizes originality and pioneering spirit, as well as a tendency towards solitude.

One also represents the Sun, which rises high in the sky along with birds. This might explain Tesla’s obsession with pigeons. Individuals strongly associated with the number one often resist strong opposition and differing opinions. In fact, their own opinions are correct most of the time. However, this trait can be off-putting to others. The number 28 sometimes governs geniuses but also legal issues. The total name number is 17. People with the number 17 can become very famous, with some remembered even after death.

ELECTRICITY

Electricity is generally governed by the “electromagnetic group” 3-6-9 with an emphasis on the number 3. The numbers 3 and 6 govern energy exchange, while 9 pertains to the entire field and grounding. In Tesla’s celestial part (vowels), we find the numbers 6 and 9, which, through the total name number 17, are connected to 81 and 21. This represents a connection through the large group of numbers 3-6-8-9. The number 8 here can add a scientific approach.

On the other hand, the number 1 also has certain connections with electricity, which is very strong here, as well as in the number 11. Numbers 1 and 2 are associated with the sky and atmosphere. The number 11 is composed of two ones and can symbolize alternating current, especially since this 11 is composed of two numbers 10, and the number 10 is the “Wheel of Fortune” governing the transition from one state to another.

Additionally, lightning is found in the surname, where the number 16 is located, which adds up to 7 and is also a multiplication of the number 4. Lightning in the number 16 comes, among other things, from 4*4, where 4 represents the nocturnal Sun, energy in darkness, and also 4 and 7 represent the sky. 7 also signifies good conductivity. Arcanum XVI (16) in tarot is called the “Tower“, depicting a tower that began to collapse after being struck by lightning. Hydroelectric power plants involve water and turbines. Water is represented by 16, 11, and also 17. Turbines are found in the number 4, which is hidden in 16.

OTHER FEATURES

Patenting and seeking wealthy supporters are associated with the numbers 1, 8, and 9 because they govern business and money. Tesla also had significant spiritual importance – he was the son of an Orthodox priest. The significance of spirituality is highlighted by the numbers 17, the connection between 1, 2, and 3 in conjunction with consonants, and the large group 3-6-8-9 sometimes turns to spiritual quests.

Chaldean Numerology and Vladimir Putin

~ Boštjan Lovrat

Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin (born 7 October 1952)

Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin is commonly known simply as Vladimir Putin. His name in Cyrillic script is written as Bладимир Путин. The Cyrillic letters in his name have a direct correlation with Aramaic characters, upon which Chaldean numerology is based, allowing for a straightforward calculation of his fundamental vibration. The longer form of his name, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, operates more in the background.

Born on the 7th of the month, President Putin possesses a natural talent for strategy and analysis. Additionally, his Life Path number, 25, reduces to 7, reinforcing this trait. His total name number is 46, a number often associated with leadership and achievement. The harmonious relationship between his birth date and the total name number provides him with stability and increased potential for success. However, the combination of 46 and 18 can also foster competition and even aggression, sometimes leading to periods of solitude. These two numbers are part of numerical pattern involving numbers with basic digits 1, 3, and 9 (highlighted in red). This pattern signify masculinity, strength, and assertiveness, with 3 and 9 often associated with sport and even militancy. Conversely, numbers with basic digits 6 and possibly 8 (highlighted in blue) suggest a more feminine energy, which is less pronounced in President Putin’s profile. This might help explain his reputation as a strong, assertive leader.

Does Vladimir Putin possess a conquering nature? Certainly. His numerological profile, particularly with the prominence of the root digit 7, indicates a strategic mindset, while numbers from the 1, 3, and 9 group imbue him with masculinity and combativeness. Moreover, his birth date (7th) and the number 18 may be connected with wars and conflict situations. President Putin has demonstrated this capacity through Russia’s past military actions in regions like Chechnya, Crimea, and part of Donbas. As we can see, the extensive Russo-Ukrainian war is currently ongoing. It remains to be seen if Russia will maintain or expand its territorial gains, particularly in the aftermath of the conflict in Ukraine, and whether it can reassert its influence in Central Asia amid China’s growing presence.

Chaldean Numerology and Joe Biden

Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. (born November 20, 1942)

Known as Joe Biden, and that’s his fundamental vibe, upon which we can conduct an analysis using Chaldean numerology. Let’s explore what insights such a brief analysis can offer. Similar to Trump, the current U.S. president has a knack for grabbing headlines (because some special interactions between numbers are present). The 17 in his last name might open some doors to fame. Biden also  has a strong presence of 32, suggesting he should trust his gut more than others’ advice. This can shield against difficulties, particularly when engaged in projects lasting less than 5 years. Furthermore, this number offers favorable prospects for communication. The trio of numbers 3-5-8 related to money (money or financial challenges) is less of a big deal for Biden than for Trump.

A distinctive feature of President Biden’s chart is the emphasized relationship between the numbers 4 and 8. Such numbers are never easy to interpret, as they suggest that our current actions, opportunities, and the challenges fate throws our way are deeply intertwined with personal karma, which can be either good or bad. Alongside the number 32 in his chart, Joe Biden prominently features two additional numbers: 20 and 12 (the latter also in the form of 48).

Number 20 in tarot is either “Judgment” (Il Giudizio) or “Angel” (l’Angelo). People under the influence of 20 might face a lot of trials but also get a shot at a fresh start. This number imparts wisdom, awareness of relativity and awareness of transience. If the person with number 20 leans too hard into the material world, though, this person might get burned. One  must dive into the spiritual to get best results from this number. 20 even has ties to the dead and, well, you guessed it, hospitals and pandemics. It’s noteworthy that Joe Biden assumed the presidency during the Covid epidemic.

Then there is 12. It is named “The Hanged Man” (l’Appeso). It often spells trouble, especially later in life. Legal and business woes might be on the menu; individuals with this number in their chart might find themselves caught in a web of circumstances or even sacrificing others for their own gain. Turning to spirituality can change the fortunes linked to this number. The digits in the number 12 add up to 3, symbolizing ambition, hierarchy, leadership, religion, or politics.

In summary: Joe Biden’s chart carries a strong moral message: if he works for the greater good, the numbers 12 and 20 could reward him. However, if he works against the people, the numbers 12 and 20 may bring him misfortune and trials. At least, that’s what Chaldean numerology suggests.

Chaldean Numerology and Donald John Trump

~ Boštjan Lovrat

Donald John Trump (born June 14, 1946)

He’s known as Donald Trump, and that’s his fundamental vibe. In his Chaldean numerological chart, he’s got the “money” numbers (3-5-8) in play. Folks with these numbers often hit a few bumps with cash. But here, the numbers 4 and 8 lend broader support, potentially smoothing out that trio’s influence. But- with digits like these, you never know when they might stir up some legal trouble in business.

In his name numbers, the heavy presence of 24 stands out, which can also be linked to money. However, Chaldean numerology doesn’t reveal how much money someone will actually have. That’s always something we must be clear about.

The combo of 24 and Life path 31, along with all those eights and even the number 18, hints at possible real estate and tourism ventures. Trump’s consonants also show up with the number 16 popping twice (16 and 79), known as the Tower in tarot. Could this be tied to Trump Tower? The Tower, or fortress, portrayed in tarot often symbolizes a downfall. Does this symbolically point to events a few years back, like the protesters breaching Congress?

The dynamic between 3 and 5 might make someone with these numbers shoot straight from the hip with their opinions. There’s also involvement with “media” numbers. The number 8, paired with 3, might also indicate a political itch. Life path 31 suggests an original character. Falling under fours, 31 often means destiny’s a wild card. So, does this quick dive into Chaldean numerology line up with Donald Trump’s persona or not?
