Number Symbolism: Three Cheers For Three

In The Beginner’s Guide to Constructing the Universe, Michael S. Schneider points out that “one” and “two” were viewed by the ancient mathematical philosophers as the parents of numbers and therefore the number “three” would be the firstborn of the pair. Geometrically, three lines form the first object to have a measurable surface, the triangle. Linguistically, the sound of the word “three” resembles other words such as “through” and is clearly related to the word “threshold.” Schneider points out that three “takes us over a threshold and through past polarised limits of the Dyad.”[1] Our preference for release from the […]

Number Symbolism: Four Square (Kate Booth)

Three points represent the first shape with a measurable surface. An added point to this creates depth or a third dimension.

Number Symbolism: High Five

This article will examine the significance of the number 5, its symbolism in religion and culture and its fundamental meaning in Mathematics and astronomy.  It is hoped that a more thorough understanding of the implied meaning of the number 5 will enhance astrological interpretation. The evolution of the number 5  The drawing, right, shows the written evolution of the number 5.  Through purely graphical evidence, the European glyph for the number 5 appears to have evolved from the Khmer but its earliest appearance (far left) does not resemble what we now associate with the glyph for 5 at all.  Indeed, […]
