Chaldean numerology calculator: letter values and why there is no 9

Rahul Kaushl (OccultMaster) · published 2026-09-11 · updated 2026-09-12 · 1 min read

Cheiro's table gives every letter a value from 1 to 8. The 9 is held apart, the alphabet totals 103, and the table is shown here beside the Pythagorean one.

The table

Alphabet total 103.

Why no 9

The tradition holds 9 as the number of completion and assigns it to no letter, while accepting 9 as a name total with its own reading. A name can reduce to 9; no letter is worth 9.

Chaldean against Pythagorean

Alphabet total 126.

The Pythagorean table runs 1 to 9 by alphabetical position and totals 126. The two are never blended.

W is 6

A published table elsewhere shows W as 5 in one row; Cheiro's table is unambiguous and every calculation here uses 6.

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

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.
