Numerology Chart Images: Printable Grids & Tables

The numerology images most people search for are four reference charts: the Pythagorean letter chart (letters valued 1–9), the Chaldean letter chart (letters valued 1–8), the Lo Shu grid (the 3×3 magic square 4-9-2 / 3-5-7 / 8-1-6) and the number-planet map used in Indian numerology. This page gives all four as clean tables you can print, plus a blank worksheet, and says where each chart comes from. They are conventions of a tradition, not instruments of prediction.

Search results for numerology chart images are mostly calculators, paid PDF cheat sheets and scraped picture pages, none of which puts the three systems side by side with dates. Here the charts are plain HTML tables, so they print sharply at any size, and each one links down to the full guide if you want the method behind it.

The numerology images you actually need (and which tradition each comes from)

Three systems, three charts: quick map

Numerology, as Wikipedia defines it, is the belief in a mystical relationship between numbers and events; the word itself was not recorded in English before about 1907, although "arithmancy" dates to the 1570s. Within that practice, three chart families do nearly all the work. The Pythagorean chart maps the modern Latin alphabet to 1–9 and is the one most Western calculators use. The Chaldean chart, popularised by Cheiro, maps letters to 1–8 by sound and leaves 9 unassigned. The Lo Shu grid takes the digits of your date of birth and places them in a 3×3 square borrowed from Chinese tradition. Indian practice adds a fourth layer, a number-to-planet map, on top of whichever letter chart is used.

How to print this page as a chart sheet

There is no PDF to download, and none is needed. Use your browser's print command (Ctrl+P or Cmd+P), choose "Save as PDF" or a printer, and tick "background graphics" if you want the table borders darker. Each table is short enough to print on one page, so you can print just the one you use. If you would rather let the arithmetic be done for you, the free numerology calculator applies all three charts to your name and date of birth in one go and shows the working.

Pythagorean numerology chart (letters 1–9)

In the Pythagorean method the letters of the modern Latin alphabet are assigned values 1 through 9 in sequence, wrapping back to 1 after I. Print this as your first card.

How to read it: name, digits, reduce

Write the name, put the chart value under each letter, add the values, then reduce the total by adding its digits until one digit remains. For example, R-A-M gives 9 + 1 + 4 = 14, and 1 + 4 = 5. Practitioners call that final step digit reduction; it is the same step used for the Life Path number, where you add every digit of the full date of birth and reduce.

Master numbers 11, 22, 33: when not to reduce

Many Pythagorean practitioners stop reducing if a running total lands on 11, 22 or 33 and treat those as master numbers. Others reduce everything. Neither is "correct"; it is a convention of the school you follow, so note which one you are using on your worksheet.

Where it comes from

Aristotle recorded that the Pythagorean tradition, founded in the 6th century BCE by Pythagoras of Samos (c. 570 – c. 495 BCE), practised isopsephy, the assignment of number values to letters. The modern 1–9 chart is far younger. An earlier Renaissance table by Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa assigned A–I to 1–9, K–S to 10–90 and the remaining letters to 100–900, at a time when U, J and W were not yet part of the Latin alphabet. The compact chart above, and the word "numerology" itself (c. 1907), belong to the modern era.

Chaldean numerology chart (letters 1–8)

The Chaldean chart groups letters by sound rather than by alphabetical order, and no letter is given the value 9. This is the table documented on the site's Cheiro numerology chart guide; print it as your second card.

Why 9 is left out of the letter table

In this tradition 9 is treated as a sacred number and is not attached to any letter; it can still appear as the result of a sum. The Chaldean method also keeps the compound number (the two-digit total before reduction) and reads it separately, which is why a Chaldean name reading often quotes two numbers, for example 33 and 6, where a Pythagorean reading quotes one.

Cheiro (1866–1936) and Cheiro's Book of Numbers

Cheiro was the professional name of William John Warner, an Irish astrologer, palmist and numerologist who lived from 1866 to 1936. He said he learned palmistry, astrology and Chaldean numerology in India; that is his own account. His bibliography includes Cheiro's Book of Numbers, which is where the 1–8 letter chart entered popular use. For a side-by-side of the two letter systems with a worked name, see Chaldean vs Pythagorean numerology.

Lo Shu grid chart

The magic square 4-9-2 / 3-5-7 / 8-1-6 and the constant 15

The Lo Shu Square is a normal 3×3 magic square: the cells read 4, 9, 2 across the top, 3, 5, 7 across the middle and 8, 1, 6 across the bottom, and every row, column and diagonal sums to 15. The odd numbers form a cross through the centre and the even numbers sit at the four corners. That is the whole mathematical content of the chart; the rest is tradition layered on top.

From Luo River legend to numerology grid

Chinese legend says a turtle emerged from the Luo River carrying the pattern on its shell, a story linked to Yu the Great. Records from around 650 BCE are ambiguous, but clear references to the magic square appear by 80 CE and an explicit example by 570 CE. The square became an important emblem in feng shui, and much later, numerology practitioners adopted it as a birth-date grid.

Numerology cell map: where each birth-date digit goes

Each digit of your date of birth is written into the cell that carries that number: every 1 goes in the bottom-centre cell, every 4 in the top-left, and so on. Zeros are not placed anywhere. A cell with no digit is read as a "missing number" and a cell with several digits as a repeated number; practitioners also derive a driver number (the day of birth reduced) and a conductor number (the full date reduced) and place those too. The method, with examples, is in the Lo Shu grid numerology guide.

Number-planet chart used in Indian numerology

Indian numerology (Ank Jyotish) reads two birth numbers, the Mulank (day of birth reduced) and the Bhagyank (full date reduced), through the nine grahas. This is the map used on the site's Indian numerology pages.

Note that the Cheiro tradition maps 4 to Uranus and 7 to Neptune instead of Rahu and Ketu; the Indian map keeps the Navagraha. If you print both the Chaldean chart and this planet map, write which convention you are following at the top of the sheet.

Blank numerology worksheet: fill your chart by hand in 6 steps

Copy this layout onto paper or print it; it is the same sequence the calculator runs.

Do the name twice, once with each letter chart, and keep both results. They will usually differ, and that difference is the first thing to understand before reading any meaning into either.

What a numerology chart image cannot tell you

A chart is a lookup table. It converts letters and dates into digits according to a rule that a tradition agreed on, in Pythagoras's era, in Cheiro's era or in the Chinese sources that gave us the Lo Shu Square. It does not measure anything about you, and no chart predicts health, money, marriage or legal outcomes. Wikipedia notes that calling a theory "numerology" is itself mostly a way of saying it is questionable as science. Use the charts the way practitioners historically used them, as a structured vocabulary for reflection, and treat any page that promises accuracy or results as marketing.
