I began with Pythagorean numerology, but my deepest love is the Chaldean system, which I learned from a teacher in Edinburgh who in turn learned it from her grandmother. Chaldean numerology pays attention to the vibration of letters, not just their positions, and it rewards patience. What I have noticed after all these years is that clients rarely come to me to hear about the future. They come because they feel out of rhythm with their own life, and they want help finding the beat again. For Aikoo, I designed my character to feel like an older friend. Not a fortune teller, not a guru. Someone who has lived long enough to recognize patterns, and who remembers that every number in your chart is there for a reason, even the difficult ones. Especially the difficult ones.
