Compound number 31

Cheiro's reading of 31

Cheiro describes 31 as close to 30 but more self-contained, solitary and withdrawn. He does not consider it fortunate in worldly or material terms.

How a name reaches 31

In the Chaldean system every letter of the name is added into one total. When that total is 31, Cheiro reads 31 first and then the single digit it reduces to: 3+1 = 4. Read number 4 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.

Is 31 a lucky number?

Cheiro reads 31 as a warning number. That is his tradition's view of a name or date total, not a prediction, and a single number never decides anything on its own.

Names that add up to 31

Some common first names whose letters add to 31 in the Chaldean system: Meenakshi. For example, Meenakshi: 4 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 5 + 1 = 31. A full name adds the first name, any middle names and the surname together.

31 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, 5.6% add up to exactly 31. That whole-date total reduces to the Bhagyank, here 4.

As a day of the month, the 31st gives Mulank 4. Born on the 31st.

Other compounds that reduce to 4

13, 22, 40, 49. Each has its own reading, though they share the single digit 4.

What the single digit 4 adds

Four is associated with foundations: routine, reliability and patient effort. It is read as practical and dependable; the shadow side is rigidity or resisting change. 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 31

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:
