Acrophonology: What’s in a Name
Acrophonology is the study of letters in a name. Each letter in the alphabet equates to a sign in the zodiac and carries its own unique energy. Each name you carry is important—first, middle, last, married or nickname. Most important is your mother’s maiden name. Here are the heritage, karma and blocks you need to overcome in this lifetime.
Many of my callers who have met someone new do not know their mate’s date of birth (which I find very helpful in my reading style). But without the date of birth and just the name of the person—even just the first name—I can get an idea of their nature and personality by equating the letters in their name through the system of acrophonology.
Remember the letters carry the vibrations of the signs. So in an abstract way, you can do a little name chart with the letters and put together a look-see of the person (or yourself) you are seeking information about, be it a new friend or potential partner. As life takes us on a name-changing journey with marriage for women, I have found men take on nicknames. These names tell a lot about their inner nature or true self at different stages in their life.
Here is a brief overview of the basic vibrations each letter carries via the astrological sign:
A – Aries: Active, assertive personality, adventurous and enthusiastic

I’m having a few health issues { Spinal Stenoses } An operation is pending…Do you see recovery and health improving after the operation. Also, does my life with my partner look good…He left me for another woman and now we are back together. Joyce July 28th, 1936
i hope thomas steven is my soulmate,we have been together for 10yrs already.
I really found this to be quite accurate as far as my name is concerned. It couldn’t have been more thorough. Thanks
Will kru and I ever be back together?
Libra’s are not insecure.
I forgot to mention my name is Maria Isabel Alspach, 07/17/1956-mothers maiden name is :Almenar. Love interest is Clifford Issac Zalay: birth date 06/18/1934
I am interested in an older man of 78 years young and it seems he also has an interest in me. Whether our relationship turns out to be a love interest or not I suppose time will tell. Right now the Great One has sent him to fix my financial picture…I think. Anyway; his name is Clifford Issac Zalay… Do you have any insight on this matter? Just curious…
While there are a few psychics outthere who are real; I still talk to Jesus. I have this friend that I met online, we have only met eachother one time, and I keep asking him are we going to spend anytime together. Last week he was visting his children, and this week he has been busy at work. He will even send me nude pictures of what he would like to do with me in bed, but we have not spent anymore time together. I am not sure if I should drop him or just simply wait. I have been hurt in past relationships, and I just do not want to go through that again.

It was an very special moment when I went through the information regarding the power of each letter in an individuals name. At this juncture I humbly request yourselves to mail me the details of power of my name, so that it would enable me to understand myself in a better way.
Thanks & Regards

wow what a trip
cool!!!
I never knew that my plain old country name had so many universal elements.
memories are very special to me and it seems from something that my mother ask of me shortly before she passed! Mike will you remember me?? I thought for a moment and after just a moment I said How could I forget you! We have so many MEMORIES TOGETHER!!!!! As time has passed that is the same with my wife and two daughers! So it was with the latest TRAGEDY THAT JUST HAPPENED in Colorado! My mind when back to Vietnam one day when one of my friends ask if he could TRADE PLACES with me for guard duty and I said sure if that will make you happy! A couple of hours later he and his two friends were killed as they got on a helicopter to fly up to a hill top to pull guard duty! I was suppose to be in that seat! Why him and not me? Some would say and torment themselves to death! I rather took a different approach for some reason that I NEEDED TO COME BACK AND DO ALL THAT I COULD WITH MY LIFE! I could not waist a moment! I always say they would love to have the challenges that I have! They would say something like this maybe “Come Mike it really is not that hard” I would trade places with where you are now! I would hope they will always be able to say all the soldiers that I left there in Vietnam! Good Job Mike (they would use my last name Cates)! You are not waisting a minute that God/I gave you when you whent home! I say this because I know some of the people that survived the Masacre in Colorado probably are wondering why them and not me! JUST BE HAPPY THEY WOULD WANT THAT FOR YOU!!

Hello,
Can you tell me what my name means?
is there any more information on this- as obviously all letters are not the same sign- should we look at the element or whether they are fixed, mutable or cardinal signs, as well as the meanings of the signs ?
