The Chaldean Numerology System

Chaldean which is also known as “Mystic Numerology” is the older numerology out of the two central numerology systems. Even though Chaldean Numerology is known as a more accurate system, it is less popular. This has to do with the fact that this system is difficult to master, while the Alphabet Values are also not in an order that is systematic like the other Numerology systems.

A name, when it is studied under Chaldean Numerology, will provide more of a metaphysical or occult flavor to a destiny which is interwoven into the character of the person. Chaldean Numerology also indicates invisible strings or hidden forces that may be going on “behind the scenes”.

The method of Chaldean Numerology is also different in the way that somewhat goes with a name that you are more commonly known by. After the person’s name, their birth number, which is the day in a month that the person was born is regarded as the 2nd factor of importance in Chaldean Numerology. It is the birth date that will affect the health, personality along with other elements in Chaldean Numerology.


The approach of Chaldean Numerology is exceptionally accurate and ancient. This system was developed a very long time ago by the Chaldeans who at the time occupied the South portion of Babylonia. Due to their diligent and long study involving the occult, the Chaldean people became very well-known when it came to how they contributed to mathematics, astronomy, along with other sciences which included Numerology and Astrology. The Chaldean people were so adept when it came to metaphysical arts, which is why their name eventually became synonymous with these types of studies.

The system of Chaldean Numerology uses your birth-date and name. Your name under the Chaldean Numerology system will use the name that you commonly go by, rather than insisting on using the name that you were provided with at birth. This is the requirement used with the Pythagorean system.

Meaning And Purpose

All the numbers, whether used in the Chaldean or Pythagorean system, typically have the same symbols, character, nature, and meanings. This appears to be a universal rule for all of the number systems.

When using the Chaldean Numerology system, the meaning of the numbers extend past just what the single numbers represent. If you use this system, you also need to know about the purpose of the “double” or “compound” numbers. The single numbers in Chaldean Numerology represent the outward physical appearance of a name, whereas the compound or double numbers represent more profound, hidden influences or forces that are metaphysical behind the person’s name. The compound numbers are often an indication of what is about to unfold in a person’s life or a warning of danger.

Once the single number (physical) and the compound number (metaphysical) aspects of the name are determined, the next essential step involves the persons birth date.

The birth date means the exact day in a month that the person was born under. It too represents its significance and occult symbology. So for example, if you were born on the 8 December, you would be regarded as a number 8 person in this system.

The birth date is significant as it is always a constant that cannot be changed, like a needle that points north in a compass. The person might undergo name changes due to adoption, marriage or changing their name legally, yet their date of birth will always stay the same.

Compound Number Vibrations In The Chaldean Numerology System

The single numbers will denote the way that you appear to others, and the compound or double numbers represent hidden influences which are mysteriously playing their role, behind-the-scenes, which often foreshadows the future.

Any number from 10 and upwards is a compound number and will derive their meaning from the actual root number. The definitions that have been ascribed to numbers from 1 up to 9 belong to the material or physical things, while compound numbers that include 10 and upwards represent the spiritual or more occult side of a person’s life. The distinct symbolism is assigned to compound numbers which go up to the number 52.
