Do You Have an ‘O’ in Your Name? Chaldean Numerology Tells You What it Means
If you have followed any of my previous articles on Chaldean numerology and the meanings of the alphabet, you will be familiar with the idea that each letter in your name holds a series of specific meanings and energies and can be divinationally ‘read’ (a practise called onomancy). This time around, I am going to expose the ‘O’ for the omnipotent, omnifarious ovoid that it is…this one has so many meanings and layers (like an onion) and connections that it is almost ridiculous. But I shall give it my best shot.
The O encompasses everything and nothing. It is the inside and the outside. It is the pea on your plate and the pie in the sky. It is the clock on the mantel and the sun on high. It is the wheel on your car and the coin in your pocket. It is all and it is nothing. It is the pregnant woman and the tiniest cell. It is the snake eating its tail and the ouroboros of the Milky Way. It is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end: life and death. It is the kaleidoscope, the telescope, the camera and the portal. It is infinity and it is the never ending circle of existence. And it is a choice. Open the door or close the door. In or out; all or nothing.
Okay. You’re clear on this, right?
The O holds such a vast expanse of meanings and potentialities that it can be difficult to grasp. The bottom line is that ‘openings’ are presented and it is up to the name holder to take a step beyond their comfort zone and experience all that this energy presents. The letter O is ruled by the number 7, which is all about logic, practicality and intellect but contains an alternate challenge, which is to use the intellect to explore the enigmatic and esoteric. When the incredible orbit of the O is meshed with the mystical powers of the (protected occult) energy of the 7 – well, let’s just say that anyone with an O in their name will be an interesting person, indeed. That is, if they are not caught up in the center of the circle and unable or unwilling to step out of routine and into the unknown. If this is the case, and most unfortunately, it is so with many Os, frustration and a sense of confinement and dissatisfaction will be almost palatable in the holder’s life. The O demands expanse, or, a widening of the lens, so to speak. The O is an open eye that wants to ‘take in’ all that it can, experience everything, investigate, stimulate and accommodate all aspects of this reality while remaining open to the mysterious and intangible.
A well developed O energy will be receptive, curious, engaging, charming, fearless, adventurous, entertaining and interested in subjects ranging from cerebral to silly, mundane to extraordinary and fundamental to cosmic. Since the O is also the open mouth, it will love to eat, speak and perhaps even sing. Its expressive talents can create outstanding artists (Tony Onley, Georgia O’Keefe, Yoko Ono), musicians (Roy Orbison, Gilbert O’Sullivan) and public figures (Barack Obama, Oprah).
The O character is social, intuitive, adaptable and independent and due to the brainiac influence of the 7, spends a great deal of its time thinking, planning and projecting. Its desire to know more is constant: once the O has understood that objectivity and wisdom are its tools of trade, it will step into its true power and nothing and no one will stand in its way.
Which leads me to the next point. As everyone knows, there is always the ‘other’ side , or the negative aspect of any energy. The O is no exception. If this potent force is denied and subjugated, the holder will feel frustrated, bored and even angry. They are, metaphorically, trapped within their own ‘circle’ and bound by restrictions they have set up themselves. Understandably, this type of O energy may well be ornery, opposing, obtuse, odd, oblivious and just plain oppressive. It would be safe to say that this kind of temperament would also be stuck in the logical side of the ruling number 7, which would create a suffocating sense of obligation within a rigid structure, a combination that would only aggrandize the level of frustration and sense of ‘missing something’. The O is naturally the seeker: one who desires to find and explore the various dimensions of existence beyond the norm- its natural inclination is to cover great distances and effect many people in many ways. When this desire is contained and suppressed, it will build up and compress over time, often erupting into impulsive actions like quitting a job, leaving a spouse or hopping a slow boat to China. (Or worse – consider Lee Harvey Oswald or O.J. Simpson.) The wise O does not allow this energy to become their jailer: they slowly recognize and acknowledge their subconscious longings and eventually find the strength to follow their dreams and to go where they are pulled. Or pushed. To free themselves and follow their path, the O must have faith (in a higher power), heed their inner voice and learn to take risks. Monotony is their worst enemy. (And look at all the Os in that word!)
In closing, I’d like to go back to the word omnipotent. To me, this word carries an ambiance of divine unrestriction, a sense that all things are possible…this is exactly the essence and definition of the positive O.
It is the Cosmic Door…and God is knocking.
