Chaldean Numerology
An older system that numbers letters by their sound, from 1 to 8, and treats 9 as sacred.
How it works
Chaldean numerology, linked to ancient Babylon, assigns values by sound vibration rather than alphabet order. No letter equals 9. It traditionally uses the name you are known by now, and gives weight to the compound (double-digit) number before reduction.
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A I J Q Y | B K R | C G L S | D M T | E H N X | U V W | O Z | F P |
Compare with Pythagorean numerology; both are available in Astrool's numerology reading.
