How a name reaches 49
In the Chaldean system every letter of the name is added into one total. When that total is 49, Cheiro reads 49 first and then the single digit it reduces to: 4+9 = 13, then 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 49 a lucky number?
Cheiro reads 49 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.

49 in dates

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 49
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:
