Missing numbers: the inclusion chart explained

It is common to have one, two or three. A short name has more, simply because it has fewer letters; a long name may have none. A full chart is not an advantage in itself, and four or five empty boxes are not a handicap. What matters is which digits are missing, and whether they cross other numbers of the profile, like the life path number.

No, they are two distinct notions. The missing number comes from the chart: a box left empty for lack of a matching letter, hence a quality to learn. Karmic debts come from another calculation: a 13, 14, 16 or 19 met during a reduction, or a birth day equal to one of these numbers. They have their own page. Neither notion points to a past fault or a punishment.

Yes, in the sense that the quality it points to can be learned. The number itself does not change, since it depends on the letters of the name. But an aptitude absent from the chart develops like a foreign language: by putting yourself in situations that call for it, by watching those for whom it comes naturally, by practicing on small things. You often end up mastering what was missing at the start.

That each of the nine boxes of your chart receives at least one letter. This happens mostly with long names, or with the full reading, which adds first names. No quality is then to be acquired from scratch, but the profile becomes neither more complete nor easier. Attention turns to the very full boxes, a sign of abundant resources that are sometimes overwhelming, and to those holding only one letter, where the aptitude exists but needs upkeep.

No. An absent digit weighs more when it coincides with a major number of the profile: if your life path is 4 and box 4 is empty, circumstances call for exactly a quality that does not come to you by itself. The same logic applies, for twelve months, when the personal year carries that digit. Conversely, an isolated gap, with no echo elsewhere, stays discreet. Finally, several absences are read together, as they sometimes reinforce each other.

No: the chart is built with the first name on the civil record and the birth surname. If people call you by a short form, a second first name, or a nickname, you can redo the chart with that name out of curiosity. A box that fills in then points to a quality you have perhaps cultivated through this name worn day to day. The reference remains the birth chart, and it is the one used to read the profile.

Draw nine boxes numbered 1 to 9, then place each letter of the first name and of the birth surname in the box of its value. For Paul Martin: P in 7, A in 1, U in 3, L in 3, M in 4, the second A in 1, R in 9, T in 2, I in 9 and N in 5. Boxes 6 and 8 stay empty: those are his missing numbers. Vowels and consonants all count, and a box that receives only a single letter is not missing.

They are the two ends of the same chart. The missing number corresponds to an empty box: no letter of the name carries that digit, and the associated quality remains to be learned. The number in excess corresponds to an overfull box, more than a quarter of the letters: the quality is so present that it overflows. They are read together, because the quality that tempers an excess is sometimes found right among the empty boxes.

No, at least with this site’s method: the chart receives only the letters of the name, as with Fermier. Some schools add the digits of the date to it, which fills boxes and reduces the number of gaps; others build a separate square with the date alone. These readings are not wrong, they measure something else. If a site finds fewer missing numbers for you, first check whether it mixed the date into the name.
