Numerology in Different Cultures

Numbers have been used for millennia not only for counting but for symbolic purposes in rituals, architecture, and divination. Their importance is reflected in religions, philosophies, and daily life practices around the globe.

In Chinese culture, numbers are deeply symbolic. For example:

8 - Considered the luckiest number, symbolizing wealth and prosperity.
4 - Usually avoided because it sounds like the word for "death".
9 - Represents longevity and eternal life.
  

Western numerology often focuses on the numbers 1 through 9, the master numbers 11, 22, and 33, and their influence on personality and destiny:

1 - Leadership and independence
7 - Spirituality and introspection
11 - Intuition and enlightenment (Master Number)
  

Indian numerology is closely connected to Vedic astrology and Sanskrit traditions. Each number is linked to a planet and carries specific vibrational energies:

3 - Jupiter, representing growth and expansion
5 - Mercury, symbolizing communication and change
7 - Ketu, associated with spirituality and detachment
