What is Chaldean Numerology?
Chaldean Numerology is one of the oldest and most accurate systems of numerology, with roots in ancient Babylonia. Unlike other systems that use your full birth name, the Chaldean method focuses on the name you are most commonly known by, as this holds the vibration that you project to the world every day. It assigns numbers 1 through 8 to the letters of the alphabet, believing the number 9 to be sacred and separate. This system reveals the hidden forces and karmic influences that shape your personality and your destiny.
The Significance of Compound Numbers
A key feature of Chaldean numerology is the importance of the **compound number**—the two-digit number you get *before* reducing to a single digit. While the final single-digit number reveals your outer personality, the compound number tells a deeper, hidden story. Each compound number has its own unique symbolism and karmic meaning, offering a nuanced glimpse into the spiritual forces and underlying influences that shape your life's path.
