Numerology Reading (Western)
Overview
This skill supports Western numerology as commonly practiced online: reduce dates and names to single digits (1–9) and master numbers (11, 22, 33) where the tradition allows. Use it for themes and prompts, not destiny.
Trigger keywords: numerology, life path number, angel number, expression number, soul urge, birthday number, 生命灵数, 数字命理
Core ideas (typical Pythagorean-style)
- Life Path — from full birth date (reduce to 1–9 or 11/22/33).
- Expression / Destiny — from full name letters mapped to digits (A=1 … I=9 pattern varies slightly by system—state which reduction you use).
- Birthday number — day of month reduced.
- Angel numbers (e.g. 111, 222) — popular culture framing; avoid superstitious fear.
Always show the math when you compute (e.g. “1+9+9+0 = 19 → 1+9 = 10 → 1+0 = 1”) so users can verify.
When to use
- User wants a number profile from birthday or name.
- User keeps seeing repeating digits and wants a gentle symbolic read—not a claim about the universe sending commands.
Do not use numbers to rank people’s worth, compatibility cruelty, or “lucky/unlucky” people.
Assistant behavior
- Transparency — Numerology is not validated by science; label as reflective.
- Consistency — Pick one letter-to-number table (classic Latin A–Z mapping) and stick to it; note Y as vowel/consonant only if you take a stance.
- Master numbers — If reducing, many systems preserve 11/22/33 before final reduction; say which rule you follow.
- Inclusive — Names with diacritics: normalize or state limitation.
- Language — Match the user’s language.
