I was wondering why only first and last names are used in Chaldean numerology?
Im changing my name, iQ found some kind of serious issues in my name that needed to be fixed.
Ive got the numbers i need but i cant decide which name i use as first and which middle name....If i use all 3 names for the lexigram i really like it!
Having to decide which name i prefer for first and then only use it with the last name for the lexigram is hard....ugh, i cant decide which is better!
In real life i was planning on going by the middle name for a daily name.
The reason for this is the middle name doesnt flow as well when i use it as the first name, even though its the name i prefer to use.
I hope im making sense! LOL

If you like using all 3 names then use them!
I have no idea why Chaldean numerology uses only first and last names.
(Try the numerology based on letter frequency of the English language. >Link below<
My middle name sounds off if I use it as my first too. I only use my first because of legalities. However I go by my middle name.
Different spellings of names that sound alike can radically change the Lexigram results too. One lady wanted to have canine in her name. I told her, that is super easy;
change Karin to Carin. She was very happy with the outcome.
What exactly are you wanting? Pick the name you FEEL most at ease with no matter what Lexigrams come from it and or numerology indicates. If a name feels wrong it does not matter what a Lexigram or numerology indicate. You must feel the name resonates with you comfortably.
I changed my user name here from LEXX to Lexxigramer for better vibes numerology wise.
Well my luck has become worse not better.

Hi Gabby, agree with Lexi,choose the name that feels best to you.

which numbers were recommended? if u ask on the numerology forum and put both your lifepath and day of birth (just the day 1-30) 'can help u chose which is best, along with stating what u want to do/be in life. not all good numbers work for everyone.

only first and last names are used, as those r ur most often used names, and what people know u by, like what the sound they call you is.

i don't know most of my friends middle names, so i don't think of them with such, and so no impact....think of chaldean numerology as a sound numerology...HTH's, g.2g

Lexxi, i see username went from an 18 to a 36, so still in the '9 realms' but if Mars isn't well aspected in your birth chart, or if there are obvious 2's or 7's to do with your birth date or life path, the number will have ill effects on you.

a birth chart is always important when deciding on these things,b4 choosing a good number...and like u said, best to follow your 'inner voice' with these things...

Thank you for your replies! I appreciate them and it does help!
my birthday is on the 27, i need a name that equal 23's....ive got it figured out now..funny thing is the 1st and middle name are names ive always chose for my play names where i needed to use names not legally mine, such as my gabby!
Gabrele Erika, i love Gabby...just sounds so happy! LOL, wonder why?
Ive always loved Erica to but it sounds to strong/serious for my everyday use, i like it as a middle name, kind of a hidden energy, my strength isnt something i like to lead with or put on display, i like to be more light hearted and surprise people with my strength when its needed!
Erika Gabrele sounds better i think....than Gabrele Erika, but i dont know i really dont want to go by Erika? Any thoughts on which is better?

The 36 is like a 27, and it's a really great number, while 18 is a very challenging one. Since it changed only on LL, the effects should be assessed as to LL mainly. You had lots of posts vanish under the 18, and maybe you have had a lot fewer such problems since the change?

Overall, no, my LL experiences are worse not better. To be fair some aspects got better;
but some much worse.
Not sure if the post vanishing is less or not as I am posting far less than before so I think the ratio is about the same.
Oh well.
Will wait and see if things improve significantly or not.

Mmmm i disagree, coz the numbers are rules by different planets, 27 and 36 aren't the same. One has the two of the moon, and the 7 of Neptune giving us the 9 of mars...

and 36 is the 3 of Jupiter, and 6 of Venus, for the 9 of Mars. That's why these numbers are usually luckier for people with a lot of 9's in their birth than others. The resulting number is the same but the 'colors' or essence of it is different.

if lexi's lifepath adds up to a 2 or 7 on the other hand, then these were the numbers that were for her to avoid....at least this is what i have come to understand. HTH's

PS(Lexi if your bday is in Nov, not Oct, that's already a 2 there in your number readings, so there are for sure better numbers for you)

I do see what you're saying about the Planets, but the numerological meaning itself is the same for both 36 and 27. And you have to admit that the meaning for 27/36 is far better than 18.

Also, you have to post a lot in order to gain the better vibration, by getting it out there in writing over and over. We still call you LEXX and think of you mentally as LEXX.

36/27
The Sceptre
This is an excellent, harmonious, and fortunate number of courage and power, with a touch of enchantment. It blesses the person or entity it represents with a promise of authority and command. It guarantees that great rewards will come from the productive labors, the intellect, and the imagination, that the creative faculties have sown good seeds which are certain to reap a rich harvest. People (or entities) represented by the Compound number 27 should always carry out their own original ideas and plans, and not be intimidated or influenced by the diverse opinions or opposition of others. 27 is a number of karmic reward, earned in more than one previous incarnation.

18
Spiritual-Material Conflict
Of all Compound numbers, 18 has the most difficult symbolism to translate. (Read again on an earlier page of the chapter the relationship of 18 to Jesus.) The ancients describe the Compound number 18 with the following image: "A rayed moon, from which drops of blood are falling. A wolf and a hungry dog are seen below, catching the falling drops of blood in their opened mouths, while still lower, a crab is seen hastening to join them." 18 symbolizes materialism striving to destroy the spiritual side of the nature. It often associates the person or entity represented by it with bitter quarrels within the family circle--with wars, social upheaval, and revolution. In some cases it indicates making money or achieving position through divisive tactics, through war or other conflict. It warns of treachery and deception from both "friends" and enemies; also danger from the elements, such as fire, flood, earthquakes, tempests and explosions, electrical shock or lightning. If the Compound number of the name is in 18, the vibration should be negated immediately by changing the spelling of the name to equal a more fortunate Compound number. If the birth number is an 18, extreme caution and care must be taken to meet the challenges and dangers of this Compound number. The only way to dilute or diminish its effect on the life is by spiritual means, by unfailingly and repeatedly meeting deception and hatred from others with generosity, love, and forgiveness, by "turning the other cheek," and returning good for evil, kindness for cruelty, honesty for dishonesty, honor for dishonor. In this way, the vibration 18 may be used for great success in illumination and enlightenment. Those born on the 18th day of any month have chosen themselves (on the level of Higher Self), between incarnations, this channel of birth (as did Jesus) as the greatest of all testings of the soul for worthiness. Another way to dilute the negative aspect of the 18 is to change the number of the name (whatever number it may be) to any favorable Compound number which adds or reduces to the single 6, by changing the spelling of the name. In addition to the attitude just counseled, this will also help to turn the tragedy of the 18 into triumph. Remember what we've learned about the 6 (Love) always and without exception conquering the 9 of conflict? (1 plus 8 is 9.) Adding the 6 vibration (with its related number 3) was also chosen when the life pattern of Jesus of Nazareth was planned, as I've already explained. People born on the 18th day of any month would be wise to plan everything of importance on the 3rd or 6th day of any month would be wise to plan everything of importance on the 3rd or 6th day of any month, or on a day adding to the 3 or 6, especially the 6--and to add the 6 vibration to the life in every way possible, i.e.: addresses, telephone numbers, and any other way they can think of (there are many) to emphasize and increase the power of the number 6 in the personal life and career. In this way more one be victorious, in both the spiritual and material worlds, over the restrictions of the 18.

You are right. I don't know though, Lexxigramer i read the posts on the other forms, and you are sweet but it comes across as too much Mars energy...something like a 24 or 42 (Venus ruled numbers) i feel could have done her much more good, even a 33.
if not then i think we should stick to writing Lexxigramer (but see that is a confusing, "how many x's are there?!" moment for me right there.)
and see what goes on, i still like a 42 or 24 whichever is easier to rewrite if possible...

Agreed that LEXX does have a strong Mars-like energy feel. I always took it for Scorp influences, though.

A woman under the influence hit him at 65 mph; and it blew the axle and tires off the car.
He is now disabled similar to me and we do not know if he will recover or if at age 31 his life is ruined like mine was at age 33.
He has been working full time and going to college full time, and more positive things, like a baby and a house. But now what? This is so damn unfair.
A few months ago a guy got stopped in front of their house by police. The man had automatic weapons and shot and hit my son's house and my son and his wife and baby were shocked to come home and find SWAT and a dead lunatic in their yard and bullet holes in their home.
If they had been home they may well have been killed or injured or taken hostage.
I won't even go into the shite still going on in my life for now...its depressing these things that happen.
My mother-in-law had a tornado drop a large tree on her house.
Sigh......
I just don't know what to think or do these days....

As far as my user names.
I still feel more connected with LEXX.
I do not know offhand what my birth name and or married name indicate or their numbers.
Today is a horrible day. Not saying more.

wow Lexx, just read the other thread, and looks like a lot of demons in human form post on this forum!! sorry some idiot went around u guys backs doing all what they did...happened to me in real life, and, am not even going to get started on this again!

anyways though i don't know if u and Randall are aware, the number 36, when there is already a lot of 9 energy, or Mars energy (you are a Scorpio, and am guessing it's in a good place in your chart) actually ends up attracting secret enemies, who do what u described happening to you. Anyway i know so many scorpios ...the one thing they all have in common, is they don't speak from behind people's backs, and if they do, it's not malicious stuff at all...so stuff whoever did that to u!
i'd still try a 24 and see if it bring more 'peace' to u "Lexxie" perhaps??

so sorry about ur son and his family to, but thank goodness they are 'safe' and not hurt...but the disability ;(...on the other hand like Linda Goodman 'advised', "for those who believe, expect a miracle."

(PS, yesterday was an 8 and a 3, these two numbers don't blend so nicely together, but tomorrow (Friday) will be a 1 and a 5 and these two numbers really like each other, so hopefully you will catch a break then!)

Thank you for caring jellyfishtry
I am exhausted and stunned by what went down on that thread with T and others.
I have a pretty good idea who is the main person behind this.
For several months she told people to avoid/shun me, and just did it privately and at fb not at LL. She actually saw that as OK because it was not here at LL.
Well enough of that.

Thank you again for caring and the well wishes.
and I will re-read your numerology information later.

don't worry about it Lexxie, and you know what, don't explain yourself to others.

If they want to believe that about you, let them believe that, and if they don't they good for both you and them.

i learnt to stop caring, or being thrown into these situations the hard way. now i'm just going to go through the path of life i want to be on, despite all arm twisting and pushing that wants to take me other ways...also noticed the best way to do that, was to stay as quiet and as little attention seeking as possible, hence the just reply with 'okay' which is a 'believe what u want' to such people!

and dont think too much about it. btw you hate people who were using christianity as a label, probably for good reason, but Corinthians is coming to mind now, and i think even you it would make happy.

quote:
Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away

Hi LEXXIE,

I'm so sorry to hear you and your son's family are having so many troubles. I wish there was something I could say to ease your mind. I don't know if this will help, but it usually helps me when I am going through similar trials and tribulations...I hope it helps you too.

As the Moon gallops out of Sagittarius, I leave you with An Old Man's Wisdom ...


An Old Man's Wisdom - A Blessing in Disguise

Once upon a time in Chinese myths, there was a wise old man who lived in the steppes. He owned many horses. One evening, after a long day of working in the fields, he came home to discover that one of his horses, a mare, had run off. His family and his neighbours searched the surrounding area. When they finally gave up, they sent him their condolences, 'We are sorry that this unfortunate incident happened to you.'

The old man of the steppes remarked calmly, 'The loss of my mare is not necessarily a bad thing. All will be shown for its true worth in time.'

The next morning, the old man of the steppes looked up in the horizon and saw two horses coming towards his house. The first horse was his mare that had run off, and the other was a stallion following the mare. Even from a distance, he could see that this stallion was a war horse of great stature and worth. He quickly inquired at the county office whether anyone had reported the loss of their stallion.

The county magistrate advised him to keep the horse until someone had reported it missing. That evening, the old man's family and his neighbours celebrated the return of his mare as well as his newly acquired stallion. At the celebration, he was called upon to make a speech. The old man of the steppes stood up and remarked calmly, 'The acquisition of this stallion is not necessarily a good thing. All will be shown for its true worth in time.'

Chinese myths say that a week later, the old man's son took the stallion out for a ride. Not being skilled in manoeuvring a great war horse, the boy suffered a terrible fall. As a result, his leg was broken. The old man's family and his neighbours crowded around the boy and commented, 'This is an awful thing that has happened. This stallion has brought bad luck to the family.'

The old man of the steppes stood by the boy and remarked calmly, 'This accident is not necessarily a bad thing. All will be shown for its true worth in time.'

Sometime later, the kingdom was involved in a cruel and unjust war with a neighbouring kingdom. All the young men of the kingdom were called upon to enlist in the army. The old man's neighbours lamented as all their sons were called off to fight in the war. It was impossible to escape the draft as the enlisting officers moved from county to county and house to house in search of all the young men. Inevitably, they finally came upon the old man's house.

Seeing the stallion in the yard, they remarked to themselves, 'This must be the home of a great warrior. But why has this coward not gone off to war? We must seize him at once.'

When they searched the house, they found only the old man of the steppes, his wife and their crippled son.

The enlisting officers then remarked, 'This young man would have been a fine soldier if it were not for his broken leg. We cannot take him with us.' And thus, their son was exempted from fighting in the war.

The old man's neighbours, observing with amazement the declared, 'What wisdom this old man has, that he can foresee both good and bad incidences for what they are truly worth.'

I have found pleasure in being ill. This pleasure differs with its effect from other pleasure. I have found a sort of tranquility that makes me love illness. The sick man is safe from people's strife, demands, dates, and appointments...I have found another kind of enjoyment from illness which is more important and unmeasurable. I have found that I am closer to abstract things in my sickness than in health.

Hi LEXXIE,

I'm so sorry to hear you and your son's family are having so many troubles. I wish there was something I could say to ease your mind. I don't know if this will help, but it usually helps me when I am going through similar trials and tribulations...I hope it helps you too.

As the Moon gallops out of Sagittarius, I leave you with An Old Man's Wisdom ...


[b]An Old Man's Wisdom - A Blessing in Disguise

Once upon a time in Chinese myths, there was a wise old man who lived in the steppes. He owned many horses. One evening, after a long day of working in the fields, he came home to discover that one of his horses, a mare, had run off. His family and his neighbours searched the surrounding area. When they finally gave up, they sent him their condolences, 'We are sorry that this unfortunate incident happened to you.'

The old man of the steppes remarked calmly, 'The loss of my mare is not necessarily a bad thing. All will be shown for its true worth in time.'

The next morning, the old man of the steppes looked up in the horizon and saw two horses coming towards his house. The first horse was his mare that had run off, and the other was a stallion following the mare. Even from a distance, he could see that this stallion was a war horse of great stature and worth. He quickly inquired at the county office whether anyone had reported the loss of their stallion.

The county magistrate advised him to keep the horse until someone had reported it missing. That evening, the old man's family and his neighbours celebrated the return of his mare as well as his newly acquired stallion. At the celebration, he was called upon to make a speech. The old man of the steppes stood up and remarked calmly, 'The acquisition of this stallion is not necessarily a good thing. All will be shown for its true worth in time.'

Chinese myths say that a week later, the old man's son took the stallion out for a ride. Not being skilled in manoeuvring a great war horse, the boy suffered a terrible fall. As a result, his leg was broken. The old man's family and his neighbours crowded around the boy and commented, 'This is an awful thing that has happened. This stallion has brought bad luck to the family.'

The old man of the steppes stood by the boy and remarked calmly, 'This accident is not necessarily a bad thing. All will be shown for its true worth in time.'

Sometime later, the kingdom was involved in a cruel and unjust war with a neighbouring kingdom. All the young men of the kingdom were called upon to enlist in the army. The old man's neighbours lamented as all their sons were called off to fight in the war. It was impossible to escape the draft as the enlisting officers moved from county to county and house to house in search of all the young men. Inevitably, they finally came upon the old man's house.

Seeing the stallion in the yard, they remarked to themselves, 'This must be the home of a great warrior. But why has this coward not gone off to war? We must seize him at once.'

When they searched the house, they found only the old man of the steppes, his wife and their crippled son.

The enlisting officers then remarked, 'This young man would have been a fine soldier if it were not for his broken leg. We cannot take him with us.' And thus, their son was exempted from fighting in the war.

The old man's neighbours, observing with amazement the declared, 'What wisdom this old man has, that he can foresee both good and bad incidences for what they are truly worth.'
