Frequently asked questions
What is a name cycle in numerology?
In numerology, each letter in your name rules a specific number of years equal to its Pythagorean value (A=1 year, B=2 years... I=9 years). The letters of your first name cycle continuously throughout your life. At any age, a specific letter is "transiting" — influencing the experiences, themes, and opportunities you encounter. This is called the name cycle or letter transit.
Which name should I use — first name, full name, or birth name?
The name cycle calculator uses your first name because it is your most actively used personal identifier. For a deeper reading, the Essence Number calculator uses all parts of your full birth name. Use your birth name (the name on your birth certificate or official identity document) rather than nicknames, as the birth name is considered the numerologically significant one.
How is this different from the Essence Number?
The name cycle (this calculator) uses only your first name to identify your personal-identity transit — the letter that most directly influences how you show up and what you experience in your daily personal life. The Essence Number combines all name parts (first, middle, last) for a composite, whole-life transit reading. They work together as layers: name cycle = the personal layer; Essence = the soul-purpose layer.

Understanding letter transits in numerology
One of the most granular timing tools in numerology is the letter transit system. Every letter in your name has a duration (equal to its Pythagorean value) and as years pass, each letter's influence moves through your life in sequence. During an "A" transit year (1 year), new beginnings and independence are activated. During an "I" transit year (9 years — the longest possible), themes of universal service, compassion, and completion colour an entire decade of your experience.
Using your name cycle for personal forecasting
Knowing your current transiting letter helps you set realistic expectations. A "B" transit (2 years) is not a time to force solo action — it is a time for cooperation and patience. Fighting this would exhaust you. A "W" transit (5 years) is a time of dynamic change and freedom — trying to lock everything down would create frustration. When you align your intentions with the quality of your current letter transit, life flows with considerably less resistance.
