Changing Name for Financial/Business Success

Question:
I was told during a reading that my name numerology along with overall numerology is causing chaos and misfortune in my life. I am a life path 8 and first name number 7. The negative events from my past that were accurate and extreme. I was told the only way to balance the negative aspects of my life would be to change the spelling - or my name all together to equal 5! I have thought of changing my name spelling for years and I am more interested in high financial / business success; that is the most important area of my life to me and one I've suffered terribly. Is this correct? And what letter spelling would you recommend?? I would like it to start with an S also I will be doing my name change in the next several weeks. Thank you for the second opinion. It is very much appreciated!

Answer: (Responses to questions rely on the accuracy of the name and birth date provided with the question. Typographical errors or incomplete information can result in an incorrect response.)

Numerologists interpret energies represented by numbers. Their interpretations depend on both the numerologist's understanding of the energy and the numerologist's ability to compose and communicate interpretations according to their understanding.

In other words, when you consult several numerologists about the same issue, you're likely to get different responses.

Numerology can be used to reveal tendencies and likelihoods. It does not, by itself, cause things. People cause things.

Certain tendencies make certain things more likely and other things less likely. But numerology doesn't actively make things happen nor does it actively prevent things from happening.

Let's have a look at your chart.

Your life path (birth date) number 8 is the best financial/business number. Because it's a life path number, it makes number 8-related events and circumstances tend to be persistent or occur intermittently.

Your destiny (name) number 7 is the best number for finding answers inside. The energy 7 represents is, among other things, introspective and wise. As the destiny number, it tends to resonate with the characteristics of the person you are and how you approach life.

The energies represented by the destiny number and the other two major name numbers of your birth name will be with you all your life.

A new name can introduce new energies and/or enhance present energies. The more a person accepts their new name as the person they are in fact, the more force the new name's energies will have. But the birth name energies will never entirely disappear.

Before choosing a new name, determine what energies you want for yourself.

The energy the number 5 represents resonates, among other things, with expression of personal freedom. The number is likely to have a casual focus on finances or business, if there is such focus at all.

Determine for yourself what numbers best suit the person you intend to become. It can be more than one number, assigning your most important as the destiny number.

In addition to the three major name numbers, consider also the cornerstone letter (the first letter of the name) and the open heart letter (the first vowel of the name).

Once you decide on a name, make sure you are personally pleased with it and that you are comfortable with the idea of being identified as that person. Without those, the energies of the new name are unlikely to become as strong as you would like.
