THE SCIENCE OF NUMBERS
and 5 is the BIRTH NUMBER. If the birthday had been the twenty-eighth of the month, we should have had the figures
2+8=10,
or, as the cipher counts for nothing,
2+8=10=1+0=1,
and 1 would have been the BIRTH NUMber.
To ascertain if the NAME NUMBER and the BIRTH NUMBER are in harmony, therefore, we must first find the two numbers. As an example, take the name of John Jones, born on July 26. We thus have:
| J | O | H | N | (Jones), or | |||||||
| 1 | + | 6 | + | 8 | + | 5 | = | 20 | = | 2, | |
and the NAME NUMBER is 2.
The BIRTH NUMBER, or 26, makes
2+6=8,
and the BIRTH NUMBER is 8.
By comparison with the table presented above it will be seen, that the second, fourth, and eighth lines are in-
