W as a first letter
As the Cornerstone, the first letter of your first name, W is read through its number: The Explorer · Freedom, change, curiosity. Five is linked with movement, variety and the senses. It is read as adaptable and adventurous; the shadow side is restlessness or difficulty committing.
W on the Planes of Expression
On Hans Decoz's chart, W is a vacillating letter on the physical plane. The body, the senses and the practical world: getting things done with your hands and in real time. Vacillating letters are read as changeable, able to go either way.
How often W appears
W appears in 1.9% of the 159 common first names we checked, for example Swati. A name with no letter worth 5 (Pythagorean) has a karmic lesson 5: karmic lesson 5.
In the Chaldean system letters are grouped by sound rather than order, which is why W shares its value 6 with U, V.
