Chaldean Numerology - The Chaldeans


Chaldea was an ancient region of Mesopotamia (Iraq) which thrived between (1830-1531 BC). Chaldeans were Ancient mathematicians and astrologers who were originally based in Babylon, a city in Mesopotamia, the birthplace of Western Astrology. Chaldeans were viewed as wise men or soothsayers skilled in occult learning. The Babylonian system of mathematics was hexadecimal (base-60) numeral system. In the modern day terms we can relate this to 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour and 360 (60×6) degrees in a circle.


Chaldean Numerology and Names


In Chaldean Numerology the name gives a more occult or meta­physical analysis. After the name, the birth number the day of the month on which you were born is considered to be the next most important factor. The name used in the Chaldean Numerology analysis system uses only the name people are commonly called by instead of their original name given at birth which is used in Pythagorean Numerology.
