Kabalistic Synopsis

You'll always be glad you spent time with Rebecca, for her name adds up to 217. The two hundred refers to the letter Resh, meaning "sun", and sums up Rebecca's general demeanor and manor. Rebecca is like the spring morning: She never seems to be down or to notice any of the negative aspects of life, as she is too busy enjoying all the fun there is to be had. The seventeen in the value of her name refers to the tarot card, the Star, which is a symbol of protection and hope. This manifests in Rebecca's life and personality in that she is a permanent optimist. In her case, her optimism is usually well founded, since things always seem to turn out fine when she is around. A kabbalistic equivalent of her name is the Hebrew for "food", and Rebecca does indeed love to eat and cook. Rebecca has a real sweet tooth and is never happier than when making some wickedly decadent desert; in fact, she may well make a profession out of her culinary skills.

Runic Interpretation

Through the double rune of Kano, or opening, Rebecca finds her success by networking with people. Kano requires seriousness and concentration, and implies a sense of entitlement. Rebecca enjoys working with people and helping them to aid one another and share their ideas. In the past, Rebecca was a cheerful giver; now she is a gracious recipient. In love, Rebecca is no longer willing to settle for a mate she tolerates; she sets her sights on a fabulous catch. Rebecca could live abroad and use her considerable nurturing instincts to raise a family. She could also help nurture a wonderful new idea and develop it so it assumes a life of it's own.

Numerological Interpretation

Unique is the best word to describe Rebecca. This is a name that connotes a highly independent woman, a person who appreciates surprises and is often very surprising herself. Rebecca is very drawn to the spiritual side of life but it is necessarily at home in any of the established orthodox religions. Instead, she may draw her spiritual inspiration from her own contact with the divine force inside of herself. She has a very universal nature and can easily find herself linked to people from all paths and backgrounds.
