The first step is to convert the name into a number. Each letter of the alphabet is assigned a number from 1-9. Here it is below.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

A B C D E F G H I

J K L M N O P Q R

S T U V W X Y Z   

1- A J S

2- B K T

3- C L U

4- D M V

5- E N W

6- F O X

7- G P Y

8- H Q Z

9- I R

Write or type the person's name and write down the number assigned to that number with it. For example,

N I C H O L A S  F L A M E L

                                                                        5 9 3 8  6 3  1 1   6 3 1  4 5  3

When you have all the numbers written down, add them. For this, it's 58. According to the rules of Arithmancy, when the total is more than 9, it must be reduced to one digit. To do this add the numbers together as many times as necessary. 

5+8=13

1+3=4

The result is the Character Number

The Heart Number is the indicator of the individuals inner life and shows the fears and desires hidden to others. It is the total of all the vowels reduced to a single digit

N I C H O L A S  F L A M E L

                                                                           9        6     1            1     5

The total is 22 which reduces to 4. (2+2=4)

The Social Number is the outer personality, the face they show to the world. It is determined by adding all of the consonants and reducing it to one digit.

N I C H O L A S  F L A M E L

                                                                        5    3 8      3    1   6 3     4     3

The total is 36 which reduces to 9. (3+6=9)

With these numbers, you can begin to understand the person.

Let's recap on the three numbers and how to get them.

Character Number
