Questions founders ask
Which system should I use?
Chaldean for business names in Indian practice; the Pythagorean total is a second lens.
Do vowels matter separately?
For the soul number, yes; Core Numbers separates them.
Where does the table come from?
Cheiro's Book of Numbers; practitioners follow it without variation.
Where this sits in the reading
- Three numbers, three different jobs
- The compound sits under the digit
- Prohibitions are blocks, not low scores
Numerology is guidance for reflection and planning. It is not financial, legal, medical or investment advice, it is not a science, and no outcome is promised. Remedies are traditionally worn or placed to strengthen a planet; no health claim is made.
