Meanings of Numbers
*********************

1 – One is the beginning, the  number 0ne also the Sun. People with this number have great leadership qualities, sometimes with enough success, dominance and aggression to be ruthless. So its a  very powerful number.  If you  use your power carefully others will look up to you. However if you use it carelessly then you may be guilty of being self-centered and tyrannical. This number equates with the Magician.

**************

Your best days are the 1st, 10th, 19th and 28th, especially when one of them falls on a Sunday (although Monday is almost as lucky for you)  Your best colors are brown and yellow and your lucky stones are Topaz and Amber.
***************

2 – The Moon is associated with the number two.  Two  is a feminine number, gentle and intuitive, it is usually  more concerned with thought than action. Compatibility is great with   people in number one category.  Twos are inventive and articulate.  You should beware of indecisiveness, a lack of self-confidence and deceit.

*******************

Your best days are the 2nd, 11th, 20th and 29th and any Monday.   Your colors are green, cream and white and your lucky stones are Jade, Pearl and Moonstone. Your tarot card is The High Priestess

*******************

3 – Three is a creative number,  three  people tending to be disciplined and successful. Jupiter is the guiding planet.  Your relationships will be especially beneficial  with other threes. Beware of a tendency towards bossiness.

The best days of the month are the 3rd, 12th, 21st or 30th, with Thursdays being particularly good. Your colors are in the mauve, violet and purple range. Your stone is Amethyst. Your tarot card is the Empress
****************************

4 – Because four is a square it is  thus a complete number, representing the seasons, people born under its influence may be square (in the sense of dull), earthbound and unimaginative. These are also people who seem to delight in being rebellious, taking an opposite view to everyone else. Making friends is difficult so if this applies to you, you may  be aware of feeling too lonely and isolated.

********************

Your lucky days are the 4th, 13th, 22nd and 31st, you are represented by the planet Uranus, and Sunday is your best day. You lucky colours are bright blue and grey. Your llucky stone  is  Sapphire.  Your tarot card is the Emperor

************************

5 -  Five is symbolized by Mercury, five is the number of the senses. Its people are mercurial – impulsive, unpredictable, active, eloquent and ever-changing. Sensual pleasure is very  important here (from the five senses). Number five people have the knack of making friends easily with anybody (especially other fives). However your greatest flaws are being highly strung and hating any kind of routine or restrictions.

***************************

Your lucky days are the 5th, 14th, and 22nd and Wednesdays. Most lighter colors suit you and your lucky stone is the Diamond. Your tarot card is the Hierophant

*****************************

6 – With number six the emotions are important, because of the influence of Venus. The love represented is more romantic or family love than sexual. It is a ‘perfect’ number because its the sum of its factors (1, 2 and 3). Number six people tend to be reliable, domestic and fond of beauty. If you are a six you  should know that you can also be  very obstinate.  However  you will  also be very popular, making many friends easily .

****************************

You have many lucky days: 3rd, 6th, 9th, 12th, 15th, 18th, 21st, 27th and 30th, as well as any Friday. You can wear any shade of blue or pink. Your lucky stones are Turquoise and Emerald and your tarot card is the Lovers.

*********************************

7 – Seven is the most significant of all the numbers, seven is generally thought of as lucky because there have been so many famous groups of seven or of its multiples:  The seven days to create the world, the days of the week, phases of the Moon, the number of notes of the musical scale, seven colours of the spectrum, the seven original fixed stars, the seven graces, the seven virtues and, from the Bible, even trumpets, seven plagues, seven seas and many more. Its great mysticism is summed up in the belief that a seventh son will possess enormous magical powers.  The number is regarded as highly spiritual and philosophical. Number seven  are intuitive, perhaps psychic, and not  usually interested in material wealth. If you are a seven person, you have great associations with water,  your planet being Neptune, so you will tend to love travel, especially on the sea. You often have power over others, but must  try to avoid being too introverted. Your originality can make you a good writer, poet or painter.

********************************

The 7th, 16th and 25th are your lucky days, together with any Monday. Your best color is green and your stone is Moss-Agate. The associated tarot card is the Chariot
*************************************

8 – Eight is a  very strange and contradictory number in which there are echoes of the rebelliousness of four.  Governed by Saturn, number eight people must usually  suffer sorrow along with any success. If you are an eight person, you possess great will power and individuality, but you are always misunderstood, partly as a result of hiding your strong feelings under  a cold exterior. You really must try to be more open, a lot  less intense, and strive to make friends.

****************************

Your best days are Saturdays and the 8th, 17th and 26th days of the month. Dark colors suit you best, in the range of dark grey, black, dark blue and purple. Your stone is Amethyst, a dark Sapphire or even a Black Pearl. Your tarot card is Strength, and strength is  exactly what you will  need to triumph over such an unlucky number as eight.

******************************

9 – Nine is a  number  just as sacred as seven, nine is numerologically the ultimate because when multiplied by any other number it reproduces itself (ex 3×9=27, then 2+7=9) It has Biblical connections (a trinity of trinities) it  represents the nine months of pregnancy, the nine spheres of ancient cosmology and the nine lives of a cat. Nines are active and  determined, they are fighters (the influence of their planet Mars),they are also accident-prone, quarrelsome and impulsive. They get on best  with threes and sixes.

******************************

If you are a nine, your lucky days are the 3rd, 6th, 9th, 12th, 15th, 18th, 21st, 24th, 27th and 30th, also Tuesdays. Your colours are red   Your lucky stones are Ruby, Garnet and Bloodstone. Your tarot card is the Hermit.

The following additional remarks may be serviceable to the to the inexperienced Cartomancer. They are chiefly taken from Etteilla.

24. Knight of Sceptres.–This card is not to be read singly; it means the Departure of the card which follows it. R. Again, notice the card which follows it; if a Woman, Quarrel with a Woman; if Money, then Loss of Money, &c.

25. Knave of Sceptres.–R. Notice between what cards the News falls, which will show whence it comes, and of what nature it is.

34. Deuce of Sceptres.–R. If the cards fall 49 R., 34 R., you will be surprised by a change. If 47, 49 R., 34 R., it will be happy; but the reverse if they fall 54, 49 R., 34 R.

38. The Knight of Cups.–This shows the arrival of the card which follows it, as 38, 54, the arrival of affliction or grief; 38, 39, the visit of a fair young man, etc.

43. Seven of Cups.–Explains the card which follows; thus, 43, 30, 33, The idea of attempting some undertaking. This will again be modified by the following cards.

44. Six of Cups.–Shows either that what precedes it is past, has occurred already; or if R., what is going to happen.

46. Four of Cups.–The following cards might show what the displeasure or anxiety was about; the preceding cards, whence it originated.

51. Queen of Swords.–This is not necessarily to be taken by itself; it may signify that the person symbolised by the cards near it has just lost, or is likely soon to lose, wife or husband. In some instances it may merely signify that if two people are married, the one will die some time before the other, but not necessarily that the event will occur immediately.

53. Knave of Swords.–R. If 72, 53 R. An unexpected present. If 53 R., 54, unexpected grief, etc.

55. Nine of Swords.–R. The card following will show whom or what to distrust, &c..

56. Eight of Swords.–R. Shows Treachery or Deceit in the past, and will be explained by the neighbouring cards.

57. Seven of Swords.–R. The cards which come next will show whether it will be good to follow the advice given or not. Also, the preceding cards will show from whom, and why, the advice comes.

60. Four of Swords.–R. The cards near will show whether it is health or money that requires care.

61. Three of Swords.–R. May show simply that something is lost, or mislaid for a time.

62. Deuce of Swords.–R. If confirmed by the other cards may simply mean that the friends are not of much use to the inquirer in the matter under consideration.

65. Queen of Pentacles.–R. (If this card does not signify any particular person). If 65 R., 31 R., It is not said that there will be a Lawsuit. If 31 R., 65 R., If you gain your case you won’t be much the better for it.

67. Knave of Pentacles.–R. Consult the following cards to see in what the person is prodigal. If 67 R., 57 R., it may simply mean that the person is too fond of giving advice, intermeddles too much with other people’s business.

71. Seven of Pentacles.–R. The next card will show the reason of the anxiety, and so on.

73. Five of Pentacles.–Shows simply that there is some one whom the person loves.

The Court-Cards, and especially the Kings and Queens, may be taken to represent persons; in this case their additional meaning should not be read. The Swords represent very dark people; Pentacles, those not so dark; Cups, rather fair people; Wands or Sceptres, those much fairer, and so on. Many Wands together might signify feasting, many Cups lovemaking, Swords quarrelling and trouble, Coins or Pentacles money.

Where the mode of reading the cards requires that the person consulting should be represented, he should take one of the Kings to represent himself, according to his complexion. If a lady consults the cards, let her take one of the Queens; if she be rather fair, the Queen of Cups; if she be very fair, the Queen of Wands or Sceptres. If the inquirer be quite a youth or a boy, let him take one of the Knights; if a very young girl, let her take the Knave, etc. Etteilla’s plan was to take two of the Keys for Significators, that answering to the Pope for a man, that answering to the High Priestess for a woman; but I do not think this is so well. The worst of Etteilla’s system is that he so completely destroys the meanings of the Keys in his attempted rearrangement of them, as to make them practically useless for higher occult purposes.
