Elton John: A Numerology Journey Into a Man With a Vision
With the movie “Rocket Man” playing in theatres this month, I thought I would write a post about Elton John from a numerology perspective.
A Numerology Journey Into Elton John
By Numerologist Greer Jonas
Why did Elton John change his name?
We all know Elton John is a charismatic entertainer, musician, and writer. He has created his own unique and ever-changing persona which is different from any other. We see this in his appearance, dress, glasses, and music.
Born, March 25, 1947, Elton’s destiny is a 4. The 4 destiny is one of the builders and the entrepreneur. Similar to Oprah Winfrey, Born 1/29/1954. His inspiration number (add month plus day of birth) is a 1 (the leader). Thus, Elton’s journey is one of a unique creator of music — with songs of meaning and vision as he becomes a leader and inspirer to his audience.
“If you write great songs with meaning and emotion, they will last forever because songs are the key to everything. Songs will outlast the artist, and they will go on forever if they are good.” — Elton John
What happens when you change your name?
Elton John was born with the name Reginald Kenneth Dwight. He used Reginald Dwight until his early 20s. As he set out into his musical career, a more upbeat name was essential.
It shows true in numerological terms that the name Elton John has a more outgoing expression.
In a numerology chart, your soul essence (the sum of the vowels) represents your inner knowing and being. The value or personality number (the sum of the consonants in your name) represents what you are attracted to and who/what is attracted to you. The “expression” number (the sum of all the letters in your name) is the way you share your voice to the world. Check out the numerology charts below with Elton’s birth name.
The Numerology of Reginald Dwight
As Reginald Dwight, his soul’s essence number is the master 11. This represents his inner being, (or heart’s desire) without the influence of environment or family dynamics or education. The soul number of 11 is the master number of inspirations, brilliant ideas, and psychic ability. It sees the truth at a high level. You can hear it in his songs. People who use their 11s can change the world or at least people who come in contact with you.
However, Reginald’s expression numbers (how one expresses their voice to the world) were mild. The “2” and the “6” are about relationships and compassion (which I believe he has) but often quiet and reserved. To truly be the “Rocket Man” he needed to be out there in dress and performance as well as name.
As you can see from the above chart, Elton John’s soul’s essence number is an 8. The eight is the charismatic leader who is out there in the world and so very connected to abundance and power.
With this name, Elton John has a 5 expression number. The 5 is flamboyant, energetic, and an animated entertainer and songwriter. The new name is more fun, and less stiff, and assists in cranking up the energy for timeless dynamic performances and ever-changing outfits on stage.
I’ve always wanted to smash a guitar over someone’s head. You just can’t do that with a piano.
