Moon
Word — gematria and numerology meaning
| Cipher | Value |
|---|---|
| Ordinal (A=1, B=2…) | 57 |
| Reverse Ordinal (Z=1, Y=2…) | 51 |
| Reduction | 21 |
| Pythagorean | 21 |
| Chaldean | 23 |
Moon carries an ordinal value of 57, reducing to Three, a number tied to creativity and expression. Its forward and reverse ordinal values sit close together at 57 and 51, because its letters are spread fairly evenly across the alphabet. The Chaldean system gives 23, which reduces to Five and so reads differently from the standard total.
"Moon" is an old Germanic word related to "month," and the two reflect how early calendars were built from the cycle of lunar phases, about 29.5 days long. The moon has been tied to cycles, tides, dreams and the unseen in almost every culture, and "lunatic" comes from the Latin luna.
In practice. The moon takes about 27.3 days to orbit the Earth but 29.5 days to cycle through its phases, because the Earth moves along its own orbit while the moon circles it. Current phases and moon signs are at Star Cipher.
How Moon adds up
In the ordinal cipher each letter takes its position in the alphabet. Moon is spelled M-O-O-N, which gives 13 + 15 + 15 + 14 = 57. Reducing the total to a single digit (5+7=12, then 1+2=3) gives 3.
