Cheiro's reading of 24
Cheiro calls 24 fortunate, bringing help and connections from people of rank and position, and gain through love and the opposite sex. He considers it favourable for future events.
How a name reaches 24
In the Chaldean system every letter of the name is added into one total. When that total is 24, Cheiro reads 24 first and then the single digit it reduces to: 2+4 = 6. Read number 6 for the single-digit meaning.
Cheiro used compound numbers mainly to judge names and dates. These readings describe his tradition's view; they are not predictions.

Names that add up to 24
Some common first names whose letters add to 24 in the Chaldean system: Pooja, Suresh, Shanthi, Revathi, Yusuf, Peter, Thomas. For example, Pooja: 8 + 7 + 7 + 1 + 1 = 24. A full name adds the first name, any middle names and the surname together.
24 in dates
For dates from 1940 to 2019, adding every digit gives totals from 4 (1 January 2000) to 48 (29 September 1999). Of all dates from 1940 to 2019, 3.3% add up to exactly 24. That whole-date total reduces to the Bhagyank, here 6.
As a day of the month, the 24th gives Mulank 6. Born on the 24th.
Other compounds that reduce to 6
15, 33, 42, 51. Each has its own reading, though they share the single digit 6.
What the single digit 6 adds
Six is associated with family, service and harmony. It is read as protective and generous; the shadow side is taking on too much for others. In Cheiro's method the compound gives the colour and the single digit gives the underlying nature; both are read together.
How one letter changes 24
Adding a letter raises a Chaldean total by that letter's value, from 1 to 8 (no letter is worth 9). This is why a doubled letter or an extra vowel can move a name to a different compound:
