Pythagorean or Chaldean?

When it comes to letters and the numerical equivalent there are two widely used systems and people swear by each one. I have books on both systems and of course I’ve done my own numbers with each system. That post that I mentioned the other day, it also alluded to this particular aspect of numerology and he indicated there were actually 3 different known systems out there. I’m not sure what the third one would be.

Anyway, I have to admit, it’s never very easy for me to figure out the numbers for my name. As mentioned in a previous post I have had 4 different last names. And I’m all over the place with my “common” name too - that being your first name or what you are commonly called, so this could be a nick name as well. “Lanie” would be my nick name. Laura-Ann is my first name (when hyphenated it counts as one name) but at least half the people I meet/know shorten that to just Laura. So…maybe I’m a 5 (Lanie). Maybe I’m a 1 (Laura-Ann) or maybe I’m an 8 (Laura). Or if I was to use the Chaldean numbers then Lanie becomes 6 - *very* different from the 5. Laura-Ann becomes 6 instead of 1 and Laura becomes 4 instead of 8.

With or without numerology I know me. For me, the “right” answer is the Pythagorean system is more accurate than the Chaldean. I also, just before doing this post also checked the two systems with a very good friend of mine’s name. With the Pythagorean system his first name is a 7, his first and last a 4 and his full name a 6. With the Chaldean system every single one of his numbers except the birth numbers (that doesn’t change regardless of system used) they all become 2s. His first name, his first & last and full name. Now if I ever doubted and wondered if I just “made” things fit, that’s been laid to rest. There’s no way in the world he is all 2s. With that many 2s he wouldn’t seem kinda 2-ish, there would be no doubt in your mind that he’s a 2. He is definitely not that focused on 2 tendencies.

So once again I conclude that the Pythagorean system is the one to use and is the one I have been and will continue to use here.

I do have a thought or two on the difference between the two as well. Mostly I just think that one was created for a different alphabet and has been made to fit today’s abc’s.

Actually I read some where once the same about the Pythagorean system – in that some of the letter combinations have been dropped. For example Th had it’s own #. Same with ch and chr. I don’t know much of that really matters and I only read it the once …I would like to read more on that now.

Once again I just have to say, numerology is my hobby. If you’re looking for very in depth information or for a full reading/chart try either 123Numerology or Power Numerology.
