This forum is for you -- here's where we'll discuss Linda's deepest spiritual and metaphysical ideas and their practical applications. This forum will have a uniquely qualified and experienced moderator, but I'll wait for her to introduce herself. And on that note...

Life, light, and love!

I have been waiting patiently for this site to "come alive" and am extremely excited! I have been a fan of Linda's for about 5 years now and have been told that I absolutely must read "Gooberz" which I plan to do as soon as I can.
I have just finished reading "Star Signs" and although I find the Chaldean method of numerology to be amazingly accurate - I find myself wondering why the mainstream public uses the Pythagoras method. Linda stated in her book that the Chaldean method was the only true and accurate method of numerology and I can't seem to find anything out there on the internet about this system of numbers. Any thoughts on the subject would be welcomed - I never gave much thought to the Chaldean method until I read Linda's book. I am very versed in the other method.

Hi K-star, if you are going to call a girl the wrong name on a "first date",it may as well be open to the world.
I'm a born on the 15th and the number interests me somewhat. I was chanting the Hare Krsna mantra today to realise that both names equal 13/4 and then of course 8.Any comments on the compound number warning of the 15.

Hi Everyone and a great day to all of u!!

Hello everyone!

It's great to see that there finally is a site dedicated to the wonderful teachings of Linda Goodman, who changed many peoples lives (she definitely changed mine).

I have a difficult question on numerology though, I hope this is the correct forum to ask.

How would one go about applying the numerological system in Star Signs to other alphabets than English? I'm from Norway and here we have 3 extra letters in our alphabet after Z. How would I find out their respective numbers? Or is perhaps the Chaldean system Linda mentions only applicable to English names or names using the English alphabet?

In a Norwegian translation of Star Signs they have given each of the three extra letters numbers, but does not mention how the arrived at those numbers! I'm not entirely sure I trust the translation. Another thing is that the translator cut away the entire chapter about Lexigrams, for, as she correctly put, "it was not translateable."

Good Vibrations!

Dear Crabbie,

Interesting question about numerology applying to languages other than English. I can't recall any mention of that in Star Signs, but Linda referred to her numerology system as Chaldean in origin. And as far as I know, they weren't English speakers. One would imagine then that numerology, unlike Lexigrams, can apply to languages other than English. However, I don't know that for a fact. I guess we'll have to wait for an answer from someone who really knows!

Best wishes,
KJS

About numerology in different languages: I did find something that may help. In 'Star Signs', page 400, Linda applies numerology to a word in another language... the Latin language that is. The phrase NOVOS ORDO SECLORUM, she found to equal 17. Could this be a clue to say yes, we can apply numerology to other languages...? Hhhhmmmm...

To Crabbie - I too am curious as you to find out how they assigned numbers to the extra letters in your language. Let us know if you find out how.

Blessings~~~~~~

Can I be picky? I keep reading people referring to "Linda Goodman's Star Signs" as just Star Signs....shouldn't we be saying the full name since that is the specific vibration she wanted and asked for? I don't mean to be a nuisance, but every time someone writes just S*** S****, (i can't bring myself to write it!), I whince.

A bushel of bunny hugs (I loved that inscription from "Gooberz"),

Hi Everyone!!

about the question about the numbers applying to other languages.well,i know about just one other language where numbers are applied but they have each letter in a different number vibration(obviously).the language is 'hindi'or the indian language.a purer form of hindi is sanskrit which is a holy language and it certainly DOES apply numbers for itself.its a different system than english of course.
hope that was helpful

i personally think linda is ab-so-lutely right!!!but then again so many paragraphs in shirleys books felt right...???

what say?!!!

This is sort of a late response to the question posted about the origin of Linda's numerology, that is the Chaldean-Hebrew Kabala Numerical Alphabet.

In Hebrew, numbers are not seperated from letters, that is Aleph, the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet is also zero. Beth, the second letter is also one, Gimmel is also three, etc. The various letter/numbers of the Hebrew alphabet have been applied, over time, to "related" letters of Greek, and Latin, and eventually English.

What we call numerology is actually the healing of the schism between the letters of our alphabet, with their numerical bretheren. This is much like re-uniting the spirit with the intellect.

Essentially our name is our number, as opposed to their being seperate entities. The vibrations are the same. Instead of saying my number is 9, I would say that I am number 9.

My first and last name are 9. My first, middle and last name are 9. My middle and last name are 9, my middle name alone is 9; my birthdate (day, month, year) is 9 and my birth day is 18 (9). I've had a 9 in almost every address I've lived (many) along with multiples of 3. I would have to say that, in fact, I am number 9.

Anyone else out there that is a strong number like to this?

Dear Friends,

As far as I recall, Linda was clear that lexigrams are only to be used with the English language. I do not recall where I read it, it is in Star Signs somewhere...

Does anyone else recall this? Perhaps I reaad it between the lines, yet I believe the book did tell me that.

Love,

Carlo

Hiii Garyb!!!

Iam a no.9 too!!I was born on the 27th of feb.And it so profoundly true that my life has been absolutely dominated by 3s,6s and 9s,nothing else!!The year i was born was 75=3.I have had huge but very good changes in my life on years such as 96,90,87 and when my birth chr age corresponds with a 9 or 6 year i.e if i turn 15 or 18 or now 24 the changes are OVERWHELMING!!!Important things always happen on 9s or 6s and whenever they dont i know theyre going to go wrong...and they do!!I have always hit it off very well with no.9s and no.6s!!always!And this year the year adds up to a 9 and i just turnes 24=6!!Someone told me something massive is going to happen.My piscean intuition is knocking so strongly...its scary!!change dosent do too well with pisceans but i guess my saggi ascendant will take care of it.Tell me about you gary?

Hi Shagun and Garyb,

Yes, I too am a 9!!

Born April 9th, (same as Linda) 9lbs, 9ozs.. I do definately stumble across the number 9 frequently.. and am awaiting for something significant to happen this year!

I also had a 9lb 3oz baby in 1998.

Any others out there?

*Aries* Kate

Greetings, fellow 9 people!

I have a lot of 9s in my birth info. I was born on January 9, 1969, at 9:45 am (4+5=9). That's a lot of Mars influence, which is interesting since I have only one planet (Saturn) in Aries. My Mars is in Scorpio.

Shagun, Kate and 9ers all (and yes, I'm a SF 49ers fan...),

Shagun, you commented that there was a chance of something major happening in 1999 (which is actually a 1 year). A number of major events have already occured, and it's only March! So far they have been extremely positive, which is a relief, as the previous 18 months or so have been sorely lacking in "positive." Being the graphic designer of Linda's website has been very exciting, to say the least.

I'll be 51 this year, a 6 year for me. I'm a Taurus on the Gemini cusp with Gemini rising.

What I think is even more interesting than all the 9s is that my birth day is the compound number 18. Linda says, in Star Signs, "Of all compund numbers, 18 has the most difficult symbolism to translate." and, "Those born on the 18th day of any month have chosen for themselves (on the level of the Higher Self), between incarnations, this channel of birth (as did Jesus) as the greatest of all testings of the soul for worthiness." The I-Ching says much the same thing, that is, it's all a test to see if I'll actually learn something this time around. Boy, I'm tired just thinking about it.

I've thought for quite some time, that my goal in life is to learn all that I am able in this life, about what it means to be Human and to find out where I fit into the big-scheme-of-things, so that when I reach my death, I will be unafraid and confident that I have the tools I need for the next go-around. That seems to be what Linda is saying about the number 18.

Of course, thinking it is one thing, and doing it is a horse of a different color. Guess I'll be working on this "life-thing" right down to the finish line.

any other 9 multiples out there? What about those of you with an 18 compound number. I'd like to hear how it's affected your life overview, if indeed it has.

Hi ya all,I have 18/9 as my first name,27/9 as my surname and obviously 18/9 as the overall name number, I'm also a day 15/6, I would say my life has been full of experiences where turning the other cheek in times of deception and insicerity have been appropriate, some situations I actually managed to do just that, other times well.... after the hurt has "died off" what's left but forgiveness and all that nice stuff.
One thing I have learnt, or I should say I am still in the process of learning and that is discernment, following ones Ideals in a centered way, a bit like a warrior,in command of your environment, therefore why would anything harm or dissapoint you. the first line in the 57th hexigram, in Wilhelm's translation describes to me a little of the 9's qualities. "Inborn gentleness is often carried to the point of indecisiveness."
As for the year, 3 nines as far as I can see represent the trine of Mars, a powerful combination indicating gain and prosperity, As for death and dying, I was informed once that life is all about the last second, what we are focused on in that "final" moment, determines greatly what is to follow. All well and good if we have the luxury of a "peacefull" death, where we have time to prepare, have all your family and friends around, a nice bite to eat maybe even watch a video, but what happens when the passing is a bit more hurried, hit by a truck for a graphic example, well getting your .... together then maybe not be so easy if you've been waiting untill the "end".!!!!!
To me the 18/9 has the forsight of universal love, understanding why everybody else doesn't work the same way can be a bit tricky. As Brian would say, " let's just look on the bright side of life, da dum, da dum da dum da dum..........Bhaggy.
