Lucky numbers · by Cheiro

Which numbers suit you

Check your phone, car, address — do their numbers vibrate with yours? By Cheiro’s system.

Your date of birth

Nothing else is needed: favorable numbers are calculated from the date of birth; time and place don’t affect them.

What to check

Write it however you like — with a plus, with letters, with spaces. Only digits count; everything else is dropped automatically.

The numbers themselves stay in your browser. Only the sum of the digits of each one (for example 46) is sent to the server — the number can’t be recovered from it.

e.g.: +44 7700 900123 — with a plus or without, with spaces or without, letters don’t matter
e.g.: A123BC 93 — you can keep the letters, only digits count
e.g.: 25 Main St apt 14 — write the house and flat numbers, words don’t get in the way

Tick the box — the calculation won’t start without it.

Frequently asked questions

Is my phone number sent to the server?

No. Your browser adds up the digits of the number and sends only the sum — for example, 46. The number can’t be recovered from the sum, and the field label (“phone”, “car”) isn’t sent either. Only your date of birth goes to the server: without it there’s nothing to calculate.

Why don’t the letters in a car number count?

That’s how Cheiro’s system itself works: only the numeric part matters. A123BC 93 and B123EE 93 give the same result in it — and if you feel the letters should matter, this system won’t suit you, and that’s fine.

If I get “Caution”, should I change my number?

No. Check it against your own history first: did the phone marked “Caution” really bring you fewer successful calls and deals than the previous one? If you can’t remember any difference, then this system describes nothing for you, and there’s no reason to change the number.

Why did the same number get a Cheiro verdict and a Destiny Matrix code?

These are two different counting rules, and we deliberately don’t mix them. Cheiro reduces the digit sum to 1–9 and compares it with your birth number. The Destiny Matrix reduces the same sum to 1–22 and checks it against the points of your chart. The Matrix check is our extension of the method: the original source book doesn’t check numbers, and we say so plainly.

Do I need my birth time and place for this?

No. Lucky numbers are calculated from the date only — day, month, year. Time and city have no effect on them, so we don’t ask for them: every extra field in a form means people who abandon it halfway.

How is a car number counted if it has letters?

The letters are dropped and only the digits are added up. For the number A123BC 93 that’s 1+2+3+9+3 = 18, that is, 9. We count the region code too: it’s part of the number you see every day.

I got 11 or 22 — aren’t those master numbers?

Yes, in numerology 11, 22 and 33 are usually not reduced to a single digit — they count as numbers in their own right. But Cheiro’s table only covers numbers from 1 to 9, so to compare numbers we do reduce them: 11 → 2, 22 → 4. In the reading we show both forms so there’s no confusion.

Check it — don’t take it on faith

  • Take a period you remember well and compare the verdict with it. The future can’t be checked — the past can.
  • Find phrases in the text that could turn out to be false. If there are none and it all “sort of fits” — that’s a horoscope, not a calculation.
  • Look at where two systems disagree. When two agree, it’s a reason to look closer; when they disagree, it’s a reason to take neither on faith.

What this reading is. The calculation is made by a program from astronomical data. Human Design, astrology, Jyotish, numerology and the Destiny Matrix are not scientific systems, and the reading is for informational purposes. It is not medical, psychological, legal or financial advice and does not replace consulting a specialist. You make your own decisions.

Where lucky numbers come from

What this page calculates

First we add up all the digits of your date of birth — day, month and year — and reduce the sum to a single number from 1 to 9. That is your number. In this system each of the nine has a planet behind it: the Sun behind one, the Moon behind two, Jupiter behind three, and so on. Your colors and the days of the month considered easy for you come from the same place.

Then we add up the digits of whatever you entered in the form in the same way: a phone, car or apartment number. Letters, plus signs, brackets and spaces are dropped — only digits count, so you can type it however you like. The two numbers are compared using a table, and you get a short verdict: suits you, rather suits you, makes no difference, or better not take it.

Where it comes from

From the books of Cheiro — the pen name of the Irishman William John Warner, the best-known numerologist of the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. His “Book of Numbers” came out in 1926 and has been reprinted almost unchanged ever since; its tables are the basis of what is sold today under the name “numerology”. We take them as they are, without adjusting anything to look nicer.

One peculiarity is worth saying out loud: Cheiro’s table of friendly numbers is asymmetric. Eight is friendly to three, six and nine, but nine is not quite so to eight. It looks like a typo, but it’s the author’s logic, and we haven’t “fixed” it: once you start editing a source to your own taste, nothing of the source remains.

How to read the result

The four verdicts mean the following:

  • “Ideal” — the number matches yours. The calmest combination.
  • “Good” — the numbers are friendly according to Cheiro’s table. You can take it without a second thought.
  • “Neutral” — neither a plus nor a minus. Decide on other grounds: price, looks, convenience.
  • “Caution” — in this system the numbers don’t get along. Not a ban, but a reason to prefer another option if you have a choice.

What this calculation doesn’t do

It doesn’t promise that with the “right” phone number things will go well for you, and with the “wrong” one they won’t. A number isn’t the cause of events, and no digit cancels out work, character or luck. It’s a hint for making a choice, not a verdict on what you’ve chosen.

It’s easiest to use where the choice is in front of you anyway: you’re offered several numbers — take the one that’s closer according to the table. But changing a number that has worked for years just because it says “Caution” here is definitely not worth it.
