Naming & Becoming (Part 2) - A Name Change Is Not Always Reinvention
Many people assume that changing a name is an attempt to become someone else. Yet not every name change is driven by dissatisfaction, reinvention, or a desire to escape the past. In this second article of the Naming & Becoming series, I explore the difference between reinvention and alignment, the role that names play within Chaldean numerology, and why some identity changes emerge not from rejection, but from a sense of completion.
Can Support and Freedom Coexist?
Can support and freedom coexist, or must we choose between them? Drawing upon astrology, numerology, business building, relationships, and personal experience, this article explores a question that has followed me through many areas of life. What if self-reliance is not the final destination, but simply one stage in a larger journey towards creating structures, relationships, and forms of support that allow freedom to flourish?
Naming & Becoming (Part 1) - When Your Name No Longer Fits
Why do human beings place so much importance on names? From marriage and family traditions to stage names, spiritual initiations, and business identities, names seem to carry far more significance than simple labels. In this first article of the Naming & Becoming series, I explore the connection between names, identity, and transformation, and ask what it might mean when a name no longer feels like it fits.
Why I Work With Chaldean Numerology
Most people assume numerology is a single unified system. In reality, the two dominant frameworks — Chaldean and Pythagorean numerology — are built upon very different symbolic structures. From the allocation of numbers to letters through to the interpretation of compound numbers, each system operates according to its own internal logic.
In this article, I explore why I work primarily within a Chaldean framework, why compound numbers matter, and how symbolic coherence shapes the depth and accuracy of interpretation. Rather than reducing numbers into simplistic personality labels, Chaldean numerology offers a richer way of understanding structure, timing, development, and the patterns attempting to express themselves through a person’s life.
Why I Am Creating My Own Numerology Framework
Why would someone create an entirely new numerology framework when so many systems already exist?
In this deeply personal exploration, Astrrid examines the drive to dismantle inherited structures, search for underlying mechanics, and rebuild symbolic systems through a more psychologically coherent and intellectually rigorous lens. Blending systems thinking, astrology, Chaldean numerology, and personal insight, this article explores why symbolic frameworks continue to matter — and why numerology may be far more significant than most people realise.
0 in Numerology: The Problem of the Unmanifest
What is 0 in numerology? Unlike the other numbers, 0 appears to resist fixed definition entirely. This article explores the philosophical and symbolic problem of the unmanifest, and why 0 may represent far more than simple emptiness.
