Lucky and unlucky numbers in different nations. Numerology: lucky and dangerous numbers

The 13th is an unlucky number. Why exactly - no one can say for sure, but all superstitious people are convinced of this. But in fact, there is nothing so special about it. 13 is just a natural number between 12 and 14. But different kind beliefs and legends about him go. Therefore, for the sake of interest, it is worth delving into the study of this topic.

Reference to religion

To the question regarding why the 13th is unlucky, religious people have their own answer. It is based on such an event in New Testament history as The Last Supper - last meal Jesus Christ. It was attended by twelve of his closest students. Together with Jesus it turns out 13. Among the disciples was Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Christ. The rest were clean. The 13th turned out to be a traitor.

A little later, even a sign was formed. She said: if 13 people gather at one table, then you need to watch who will leave it first. Because this person will go to another world within a year.

There is another answer to the question regarding why 13 is an unlucky number in Christianity. If you believe the Book of the Prophet Isaiah (part of the second section of the Jewish Holy Scriptures), then the 13th angel of the Lord rebelled, wishing to become equal to him, for which he was cast down from heaven. This 13th angel was Lucifer, who later became the lord of evil.

Mystic

There are many more answers to the question of why 13 is an unlucky number. Many consider it as such, because it is ... witchy. This statement is substantiated by a legend. According to her, 12 witches flock to the Sabbath, and the Devil himself is the 13th participant in the dark rite.

But that's not all. The reference also goes to the time count of witches, which is at odds with the harmony of the dozen, which is traditional. According to the witch's calendar, there are 13 months in a year - 28 days each.

Also, many explain the negative energy of this number by the fact that the 13th Tarot card, which depicts a terrifying skeleton with a scythe, means Death.

The letter "M" has a similar meaning in the language of the ancient Israelites. Why is she here? Despite the fact that it is with her that the word "Death" begins. And it is also the letter designation of the number 13.

Mythology

Studying the question of why the number 13 is considered unlucky, it is worth referring to her. There is an interesting tale in ancient Scandinavian mythology. It talks about the feast of the twelve gods, which suddenly burst into the 13th - Loki. He was the son of the Jotun Farbauti and Laufey, and also the god of deceit and cunning. Being an uninvited guest, Loki killed one of those sitting at the table. His act eventually led to the death of other gods, as a result of which all kinds of natural disasters hit the Earth, due to which everything that was on the planet was destroyed.

british legend

Talking about why 13 is an unlucky number, it is worth referring to a long-standing English history. In this country there is a special reason to consider it, to put it mildly, not the most successful.

The fact is that in the Middle Ages in Britain, severe fines were introduced for the lack of fullness in pound loaves of bread. Too light a roll was considered a deception of the buyer. But bread inevitably shrinks! For a while, the shopkeepers and salespeople were at a loss, but then they simply began to order from the bakers not a dozen loaves, but thirteen.

They called the “extra” unbread, which literally translates as “not bread”. The sellers cut the thirteenth loaf in addition to those that simply did not reach one or two pounds.

The bakers, in turn, also began to add one extra unit for people who ordered a dozen. They did it on purpose - in order not to accidentally cheat in their favor. One could understand why they sacrificed one loaf - after all, in those days, cheating customers was punished very severely. They could even cut off a hand.

superstition

They are worth looking into Special attention, talking about why 13 is an unlucky number. Few people know about the existence of superstition, which says that bad popularity was characteristic of him even at the time when a person learned to count. People used their ten fingers on their hands, as well as two feet as separate counting units. Thus, it was possible to reach only up to twelve. Then something unknown, mystical, frightening with its mystery followed ... And there was this number 13, then still unknown to people.

It is also worth talking about why 13 is an unlucky number in Russia. We have our own legend. And it refers to the times Ancient Russia. Then on the territory of the state was distributed not decimal system calculus. In those days, this was not yet the case. Practice counting by dozens! And the number 13 was different from all the others because it was divisible only by itself. There is an assumption that it was because of this feature that he was nicknamed the devil's dozen.

In addition, fears regarding the number 13 were associated with astrology. More precisely, with the fact that supernatural forces can invade the organized zodiac system of twelve signs that have existed for centuries and keep the whole world in balance.

Numerology

Many legends and superstitions have been considered, which often serve as an answer to the question of why 13 is an unlucky number. Now let's turn to numerology. In that system of esoteric beliefs given number is predominantly positive.

Thirteen is a special numerical value. It combines the energy and characteristics of the numbers 1 and 3. The unit is progress, motivation, a new beginning, courage, bravery, initiative. Three - luck, excellent intuition, luck, insight.

People who are accompanied by the number 13 in their lives (how to find out who it belongs to are already questions of astrology) are incredibly successful. They are usually independent, intelligent, adventurous and positive. And they are also responsible - if they take upon themselves the implementation of any business, they always bring it to the end.

However, as already mentioned, in numerology, the number 13 has a positive value in advantage. But there are also negatives. And it lies in the indecision inherent in people with the number 13 in fate, along with their ambitiousness.

Born on the 13th

There are many people in the world who were born on the thirteenth day. And surely a certain part of them thought about why 13 is an unlucky number. Birthday for many is the most joyful day of the year, and they categorically disagree with all beliefs.

And rightly so. After all, according to numerology, this number brings them good luck. Those born on the 13th always achieve their goals. They are characterized by firmness of spirit and conviction of views. A person born on the thirteenth has a tenacious mind that allows him to quickly learn and grasp everything on the fly. He can fearlessly take on new obligations, because the new responsibility allows him to feel the rhythm of life even more strongly. Born on the 13th is a man of action. He will never sit back and wait for someone else to do the work for him.

However, sometimes such a person can be pessimistic and apathetic. But, according to numerology, this is the effect of the number 4, which is obtained as a result of adding one and three. So the negative energy of 13 has nothing to do with it.

Legends and facts

Finally, talking about why the number 13 is considered unlucky, I would like to pay attention to a few more entertaining tales, as well as to mention a couple of facts that strangely coincided with superstition.

Traditionally, there were thirteen steps leading up to the gallows. There is also a legend that there are 13 turns of rope in the loop.

According to the Mayan calendar, after the 13th baktun (2012), the end of the world was supposed to come.

All the Templars (French knights) were arrested on Friday, 10/13/1307.

And here's the fact: Apollo 13 was the only unsuccessful mission to the moon. Everyone knows what happened then - an oxygen tank exploded on board the ship, and this endangered the lives of the astronauts inside. Fortunately, everything worked out. By the way, the ship started at 13:13 from pad No. 39 (three times 13, if you count), and the accident occurred on April 13.

Well, all of the above can be a generalized answer to the question of why the number 13 is an unlucky number. But do not forget that people remember and take into account everything related to him because of these very superstitions that exist around him. After all, there are many other frequent coincidences associated with other numbers, but they are not paid as much attention to.

A lucky number in numerology can bring good luck, love, health and wealth. For some people, the same numbers are unlucky, which, if you don’t meet, then expect trouble.

All numbers (from 0 to 9) can be divided into specific areas of responsibility for a particular life stage.

Numbers that relate to love - 2, 3, 6

The number 2 is considered feminine. If a girl wants to find her soul mate, it is very important that there are paired items in the interior of her house, for example, some 2 flowerpots, 2 paintings or 2 candles. That is, 2 is a number that helps to find a certain pair. Two is the fate number of actress Sophia Loren, who found her great love in the man Carlo Ponti and lived happily with him for over 50 years.

Number 3 helps men in business, career and love at the same time. It promises success for them. The number of Giacomo Casanova, a romantic and passionate lover who conquered the hearts of many women, was a three.

The number 6 is also related to love. It gives support to everyone who wants to find a family, love, luck and happiness. The number 6 helps a person to be accepted in the world of people. It is accepted, supported and paid special attention to. The Six tied the French Emperor Napoleon to the charming Josephine for life.

If you want the number 6 to be more in your life, you can make ornaments from triangles on your clothes, jewelry, or look for it in some kind of symbolism. For example, two triangles superimposed on each other in Hebrew symbolism is the Star of David. It turns out that by layering 2 triangles we get a 6-pointed star. It is a symbol of harmony and unity of the male and female principles.

The numbers of wealth, success and financial well-being - 1, 4, 8

The unit gives a person the opportunity to be a leader in any situation, and for a person who is rich enough and successful in business, the number 1 stimulates to be active in competition, reveals creativity and creates the prerequisites for further professional growth. Amulets for such people are made from 1 ruble or 1 dollar. Such people often have a dollar for good luck; money with the number 1 brings the increase of wealth and the increase of capital. This is the favorite number of almost all rich people.

The number 4 is stability, strength and truth, luck, order and harmony. Take, for example, a table or chair that has 4 legs. Contracts and various important documents are signed on the tables. It is very good for the boss to use a chair with 4 legs instead of a newfangled swivel chair if he wants to sit in his chair for a very long time in office. Those. it is a symbolism of strength and stability in life.

Four also brings fame, recognition and financial well-being. For example, the singer Valeria has made her career and is grateful to her favorite number 13, which gives a total of 4. She went to conquer Moscow in the 13th car in 13th place.

8 is a very strong number that connects the material and spiritual worlds. 8 - a sign of infinity, symbolizes the unity of the spiritual world and the material world. The number 8 can give you a very strong impetus, but only if it is a bright beginning, a bright search, otherwise it will work against you.

If you want to attract an 8-ku into your life, then buy yourself something from the souvenir products associated with the sign of infinity. On the holiday of March 8, be sure to sincerely congratulate successful women and wish them well. Paying tribute to the number 8, “bowing” to her, you thereby thank her. 8 helps to attract millions of dollars, such as John Davison Rockefeller, the first billionaire in the history of mankind.

Numbers affecting health - 5, 7, 9

5 is a very good number in terms of health. This is the number of self-improvement and movement forward. She is associated with a beautiful, harmonious horse that runs forward and exudes health and wealth. It allows a person to be a healthy spirit and healthy flesh. lucky number the famous American basketball player Michael Jordan - 23 (in total 5). 5 brought Michael not only victories, but also good health.

7 is the number of wisdom and intuition. A symbol of the purity of your thoughts and the health of your spirit. 7-ka helps a person who often has stress. To attract the number 7, buy, for example, 7 daisies or put 7 candles in the house. Seven is very fond of and is considered the lucky number.

9 is fertility, the most highest point and the highest digit among all digits. It allows you to bring all things to their logical conclusion.

Numbers that attract bad luck

0 - does not carry an energy charge, there is no energy in it. It is emptiness and a symbol of eternity. A person can, like a newborn child, start his life from scratch.

Each number can give a person certain chances in life. If any number haunts you, then perhaps this is a sign or warning, renouncing which you attract bad luck.

Some consider the number 13 unlucky, and therefore it scares a lot of people. This is a wrong vision and interpretation of numerology. The number 13 can be reduced to the number 4 (1+3). But if 13 comes across to you all the time in your life and any action is associated with it, then this indicates that you are in a time of change. Sometimes the number 4 is associated with the end of the old and the beginning of the new. If you constantly have the number 13, fate tells you - wait for changes, try to keep what you have achieved and change what you don’t like.

To pay off any number that haunts you and, as it seems to you, brings you bad luck, you can give alms, treat someone with something, or give something to someone, give to the temple, At the same time, each time say the word "I redeem, I redeem, I redeem." So they pay off any number that haunts you, warns and brings any problems.

Everything was simple before the emergence of numbers.

People were guided by two concepts - a little will do, but a lot, as you know, does not happen.

Some peoples still have a tense relationship with numbers, and I'm not just talking about the people of six-year-olds who began to study arithmetic.

Of course, the numbers are considered "unlucky" not just like that, but because one day they decided so. Sometimes it is a consonance with some word, sometimes it is an event, sometimes a book or a film that has become popular.

1 - for all schoolchildren, this figure is considered unlucky, if it suddenly turns out to be an estimate. And among the Chinese, it also symbolizes loneliness (although this is only one of many options).

2 - two flowers are usually not given. They are placed on the grave. By the way, the rule with an even number of flowers works up to 10. A dozen roses can already be safely given without increasing to 13, although flower sellers will assure you of the opposite.

3 is an unlucky number for excellent students. Now quickly tell me what you get as a result and 3 and 3 and 3 and 3 and 3 and 3 and 3 and 3 and 3 and 3 and 3 and 3 and 3 and 3 and 3 and 3 and 3 and 3 and 3 and 3 and 3and 3 and 3 and 3 and 3 and 3 and 3 and 3 and 3. The answer is known to every schoolchild and has nothing to do with numbers, but fortunately too. And this grade is also reduced by teachers from "satisfactory" to "good", the Old Church Slavonic dictionary will help you. Ragnarok must be preceded by three cold winters. In East and Southeast Asia, it is considered bad omen photographed together - the one who will be in the middle in the photo will die first. To the first world war the number was considered unlucky due to the proliferation of snipers. There was a sign of three cigarette lights. The sniper noticed the flame of the first cigarette, aimed at the second and fired at the third. Accordingly, there was a belief not to light a third from one match or lighter fire. It was also believed that for the third time something wrong was sure to be noticed and the offender caught.

4 - Four. We have a number as a number, but in China, Vietnam, Korea and Japan, the number is considered unlucky, because it is consonant with the word "death". Houses may not have 4 floors, instead they will have 3b, 3 + 1 or 5 floors at once. This is called Tetraphobia.

5 - for all schoolchildren it is very happy, unless, of course, you study according to a hundred-point system. But in Kabbalah, five means fear. In Cantonese, the number 5 is consonant with the word "no" and if it comes before lucky number, then the result is considered unlucky.

6 - in English language it is also used in the sense of the depth to which the coffin is buried (six feet underground).

7 - although the seven is usually considered a lucky number, nevertheless, there are seven mortal sins in Christianity. In Galician folklore, the seventh son is born a werewolf, in some European cultures it was believed that the seventh son of the seventh son becomes a vampire. You can probably guess about the fate of this child.

8 is almost the luckiest of all numbers in Chinese culture, even the start time Olympic Games in Beijing it was a combination of eights. But in numerology, eight, according to one of the theories, symbolizes destruction. In Colombia and Venezuela, there is an expression that translates to take the form of a figure eight, which means getting into trouble. And in North American slang, the phrase "section eight" means people with mental disabilities, this is a reference to one of the grounds for dismissal from armed forces or denial of admission due to unfitness for service.

9 - in Japanese the number is consonant with the word "pain". The Chinese, on the contrary, consider this number lucky. According to the studies of Christian theorists, there are also nine circles of hell, practices in this science have not left their mark, and eyewitnesses from the Supernatural series prefer to remain silent.

10 - of course, among Christians, the number ten is primarily the ten commandments, but there were also ten Egyptian plagues. For the Egyptians, not the happiest figure.

11 - 11 American Airlines flight on September 11, 2001 crashed into one of the twin towers.

July 12 - Every year on July 12 in Northern Ireland, the anniversary of the victory of the Protestants over the Catholics at the Battle of the Boyne (1690) is celebrated, including a parade through Ulster. This event was accompanied by murders on both sides almost every year, and the number of those killed sometimes went to tens, and the wounded to hundreds. The situation really began to calm down only about fifteen years ago, but the attitude towards this date among local Catholics, of course, has not changed.

13 - For Russian students, this number is definitely not unfortunate. Usually teachers either put simple questions on the 13 ticket or do not find fault. Man is not "lucky" anyway. However, a very real phobia is associated with this number, or rather "Triskaidekaphobia". I am glad that there are 16 letters in this word, and not 13, otherwise the unfortunate patients simply could not read it. Koreans (southern) successfully combine this phobia with the tetraphobia mentioned above. Hotels may not have 4 and 13 floors, and if the hotel is for the Japanese, then apparently 9 too. The history of "dislike" for this figure is old, and in the Mayan calendar last date was at 13 (they had a thirteen-day cycle), and at the Last Supper Judas turned out to be the thirteenth extra, but there are also conditionally more recent roots of superstition. On Friday, October 13, 1308, the order was given to arrest the Templars. This, for French culture, resulted in another superstition about the "Cursed Kings". And then there were horror movies about Jason in a hockey mask and everyone became afraid of "Friday the 13th" for a new reason.

14 - in the buildings of superstitious owners, this number is assigned to the 13th floor (it is clear that these are rich superstitious owners), but it does not become less than 13 from this. And it was precisely for such a number of parts that Seth tore the body of his brother Osiris to pieces ... and after all, he calculated it later, he was not too lazy, a cruel beast.

15 - on the Dead Man's Chest (this is the name of a tiny island with an area of ​​\u200b\u200bless than half a square mile), Edward Teach Blackbeard landed, as you know, 15 people. The unenviable fate of being without water on a rock in the middle of the Caribbean Sea. What happened to them can be learned from the song.

16 - Sleeping Beauty got into trouble right on her 16th birthday. For our safety is everything ... well, with fairies falling into insanity, we must be careful. She could have wished for something else.

17 - Italians have a special relationship with Latin, Roman numerals are dear to them as a memory, but sometimes they scare. So the number 17 is considered unlucky for them, since from the letters in the word "VIXI" (lived), often present on gravestones, one can make XVII. And Italians do not like Friday the 17th, not the 13th, although in the context of general Americanization, young Italians have to be afraid of one more Friday. This is also a phobia - Hectadekaphobia.

18 - in Chinese mythology, there are 18 levels in hell. This proves once again that the Chinese are twice as hardworking as the Europeans. They even invented twice as many circles of hell.

24 - in Japanese it sounds like "double death", and in Chinese "easy death". Both variants local residents don't particularly like it.

33 - in Japanese it sounds like "cruel, scary"

39 - in Afghanistan, in some languages ​​used, this figure is consonant with the phrase "dead cow" and in slang also means prostitutes and pimps. Considered unlucky.

43 - in Japanese it sounds like "to death"

49 - in Japanese it sounds like "death throes"

666 - the number of the Beast from the revelation of John the Theologian has become simply legendary. I note that for the Chinese, the number 6 symbolizes good luck in life and business, so for them three sixes is just a very good symbol, but they are not Christians, they have the right.

And there are also personal recommendations on numbers for each sign of the zodiac, for each name and personal experience with numbers (I personally heard about a person who refused to draw up a contract on a specific date, since it was unlucky for him)

In general, no matter what number you take somewhere, it will be considered unlucky for someone, and vice versa for someone.

Numbers. Happy and unhappy. Is it possible to find out exactly how many troubles and misfortunes, and how many happy days are destined for everyone in his life? In search of an answer, scientific minds even before our era paid attention to numbers and began to attribute magical meaning to them. "All things can be represented in the form of numbers," said the ancient Greek scientist and philosopher Pythagoras. Thus, he made it clear that the world is ruled by numbers and a secret is hidden behind each number.

Numbers. Happy and unhappy. Let's see how to identify lucky and unlucky numbers. As a rule, it is considered superstition to take into account the influence of lucky or unlucky numbers, but in Feng Shui, numbers are given a serious significance, far from any mysticism. Prejudice in the interpretation of the meanings of numbers is caused by a peculiar feature Chinese. So, there are many coincidences in the sound of words with different meanings. For example, two different words- "four" and "death" - will sound almost the same. Therefore, it is not surprising that the Chinese are willing to pay decent money so that only in the number of their house, office, car, phone or credit card there are no fours, reminiscent of death. The word "two" sounds like the word "easy", so the address, for example, house number 24, will sound too similar to the phrase "easy death".
