Universe
Word — gematria and numerology meaning
| Cipher | Value |
|---|---|
| Ordinal (A=1, B=2…) | 113 |
| Reverse Ordinal (Z=1, Y=2…) | 103 |
| Reduction | 41 |
| Pythagorean | 41 |
| Chaldean | 33 |
Universe carries an ordinal value of 113, reducing to Five, a number tied to change and freedom. Its forward and reverse ordinal values sit close together at 113 and 103, because its letters are spread fairly evenly across the alphabet. The Chaldean system gives 33, which reduces to Six and so reads differently from the standard total.
"Universe" comes from the Latin universum, "turned into one" or "all together," from unus, "one," and vertere, "to turn." The Greek word for the same idea, cosmos, stressed order, while the Latin one stressed the totality of everything.
How Universe adds up
In the ordinal cipher each letter takes its position in the alphabet. Universe is spelled U-N-I-V-E-R-S-E, which gives 21 + 14 + 9 + 22 + 5 + 18 + 19 + 5 = 113. Reducing the total to a single digit (1+1+3=5) gives 5.
