There is no doubt it would be a sadder world to live in today had Dr. King not started the awareness and movement that he did. The benevolent qualities of this 1 Lifepath blended well with the leadership of his Capricorn sun sign.

Dr. King was practical, grounded, chock full of wisdom and innately understood the concept of hard work.

Looking to name numerology, each of the letters in our alphabet vibrates to a numerical energy. This equally telling form of analysis explores the sum of the letters contained within our names, lending insight to our expression and career path. All of Dr. King’s name changes are riddled with the uncanny 4/8 phenomena, as their singular energies are known to cause sacrifice and victimization when combined. The Chaldean Karmic Mysteries of the compound numbers for each of his names display the very lessons he was to adhere to. Even in Dr. King’s final days, the numerical cycles he was experiencing tie into the continual mystery of the energies of the 4 and the 8.

His original name, MICHAEL LUTHER KING, vibrates to the 40=4.

MICHAEL, alone vibrates to the 22, a Master Number reducing to 4.
His first name of MICHAEL was changed to MARTIN at the age of 6.

MARTIN, alone vibrates to the 17=8, and is coined the “The Star of the Magi,” and is the number of immortality, denoting the person’s name will live on long after they pass on.

MARTIN LUTHER KING, vibrates to a 26=8, granting one the immense ability to help others yet indicates to watch for troublesome partnerships in the life.

DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR., vibrates to the 35=8, and carries the same meaning as the 26, that the Chaldeans deeply understood to mean “Partnerships. This compound number vibrates, in a strange way, to a unique kind of power, based on compassion and unselfishness, with the ability to help others, but not always the Self. 35 is full of contradictions. If 35 is the Expression of the name, it might be best to change the name to a more fortunate influence.” Whilst Dr. King did not utilize the analysis of Numerology to have this knowledge to possibly ease his path; it was without a doubt there where plenty of untrusting people partnered with Dr. King that resulted in his assassination becoming an unfortunate reality, while his true intention was to unselfishly help others.

There were many times over the years that Dr. King’s efforts saw him in and out of jail yet this never deterred him. This need Dr. King so obviously possessed to bring his message to humanity saw him in 1963, within a 26/8 Personal year of ultimate reward, recognition and gain, when he was named the Man of the Year by Time magazine, and became known to the entire world as the valiant leader of American Blacks. Previous to this he had already delivered his infamous I Have A Dream speech for the March on Washington. The year to follow in 1964 as he was closing his current 9 year cycle in a 27/9 Personal Year of universal fame and celebrity, Dr. King was the youngest person ever to receive the Nobel Peace Prize at the ripe age of 35. He immediately at that time returned his prize money to continue to aide in the Civil Right Movement.

1968 was Dr. King’s last Personal Year of the 31/4, one of foundation and structure. In April, he was in the personal month of the 8, one where karmic ties are known to be settled. He was murdered on 4/4/1968, a Universal Day of the 32/5, where movement and permanent change is paramount. In this 8 personal month the 4th of April granted him nothing else but the very combination of the 4 and 8 itself, the 12: “The Sacrifice – the Victim,” as a 12/3 personal day. His 31/4 personal year cycle and his known name vibration of the 35=8 at the time only intensified how these energies contributed to his fatality.

There is no question Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. sacrificed his precious life by bring inspiration and change to humanity. With Saturn governing his Capricorn soul along with his 8 name vibrations, he showered us with lessons to be learned, while the minor expression of his first name left his eternal mark upon history. Dr. King’s “The Magician” karmic path did not fail him as he forever remains famed with compassionately addressing issues with the intention to bring balance to humanity’s differences.

We conclude by looking to the Lexigrams of Dr. King’s birth and changed name and the mysteries of this uncanny art form lend us the final insight into the “name tale” of his short yet incredibly meaningful 39 years.
