CHALDEAN
Birth Number
Chaldean Birth Number keeps the day of the month and its reduced root together; month and year are not included.
The idea in context
The Chaldean Birth Number is the calendar day of birth, kept with its exact day compound and reduced root.
MAKE IT CONCRETE
An example to picture
A birth on the 22nd produces 22/4, with the exact day 22 retained beside root 4.
How to read it
Read the day compound where supported and then the Chaldean root; keep it distinct from Pythagorean Life Path.
A common misunderstanding
Chaldean 22 is not automatically the Pythagorean master-number interpretation.
