Okay, so I’ve been getting into numerology lately, specifically Chaldean numerology. It’s pretty wild! I wanted a simple way to calculate the numerological values of names and words, so I decided to build a little calculator. Nothing fancy, just something to do the basic calculations.
Getting Started
First, I needed to figure out the Chaldean number system. It’s different from the Pythagorean one, which is more common.
I’ve found the below table from google.
- 1 = A, I, J, Q, Y
- 2 = B, K, R
- 3 = C, G, L, S
- 4 = D, M, T
- 5 = E, H, N, X
- 6 = U, V, W
- 7 = O, Z
- 8 = F, P
Notice that there’s no 9? That’s because in Chaldean numerology, 9 is considered a sacred number and is only used if it results from the final sum. Got it.
Building My Simple Tool
I built a super simple calculator in, ahem, Google Sheets. No need for anything complex!
I created a few columns:
- Letter: Where I put each letter of the name or word.
- Value: Where I manually put the corresponding Chaldean number from the table.
- Sum: Where I add up all the individual values.
Putting it to the Test
I started by testing it on my own name. I typed each letter in the “Letter” column, looked up the corresponding number from my trusty table, and put that in the “Value” column. Then, the spreadsheet did the addition in the “Sum” cell. Pretty neat!
I played around with some other names and words, too. It’s fascinating to see how the numbers change and what the final sums are. I’m still a beginner at interpreting the meanings, but the calculator itself is working great!
Next Steps
Eventually, I might try to automate this more, maybe with a simple script or something. But for now, this manual calculator is perfect for my needs. It helps me quickly check the Chaldean numerological values and learn more about this interesting system. It’s a fun little project, and I feel like I’m learning something new every time I use it!
