The letter A in numerology

The letter A in both systems
In Pythagorean numerology A is worth 1 (shared with J, S); in Chaldean numerology it is worth 1 (shared with I, J, Q, Y). The two systems agree on A.
A is a vowel, so it counts in the Soul Urge, and every letter counts in the Expression.
A as a first letter
As the Cornerstone, the first letter of your first name, A is read through its number: The Leader · Independence, initiative, self-reliance. Traditionally the number of beginnings. One is linked with drive and the wish to act on your own terms; the shadow side is impatience or going it alone when help is on offer.
A on the Planes of Expression
On Hans Decoz's chart, A is a creative letter on the mental plane. Thinking, logic and analysis: working things out, planning and reasoning. Creative letters are read as original and self-starting.
How often A appears
A appears in 81.1% of the 159 common first names we checked, for example Bhavna, Deepa, Deepak, Divya, Gaurav. A name with no letter worth 1 (Pythagorean) has a karmic lesson 1: karmic lesson 1.
In the Chaldean system letters are grouped by sound rather than order, which is why A shares its value 1 with I, J, Q, Y.
