Tides and Cycles

If possible, begin your analysis with the birth number. It represents your subject's inborn characteristics, and is known as the "number of personality". Next analyze the name number for the name by which your subject is best known. It shows the traits developed during life, and is known as the "number of development". If your subject uses another name at work - initials instead of a first name, perhaps, or a stage name - calculate its number as well: it shows your subject's achievements, and is called the "number of attainment". Your subject's inner nature is shown by the vowel number, known as the "number of underlying influence". It is found by adding up the number equivalents of the vowels in a name and reducing them to the primary. Finally, take into account any number that occurs frequently and strongly when you are calculating the birth, name, and vowel numbers. This is the frequency number, which has a modifying effect on the analysis, and is known as the "number of added influence".
