Lucky numbers: do they exist? Studying the exact subject: natural numbers - what are numbers, examples and properties.

If you ask someone to name any number in the range from 1 to 10, then in most cases the interlocutor will name the number seven. Recently, mathematician Alex Bellos tried to verify this fact by collecting statistical data, and at the same time figure out why people most often choose certain numbers and why for different numbers different people react differently.

More than 44,000 people took part in the online survey conducted by the scientist. Bellos asked them which number was their favorite. Almost 10 percent named seven as such. 7.5 percent - three. 60 percent preferred odd numbers. The number 110 turned out to be the most “least favorite”: no one named it.

The easiest way, according to Bellos, is to explain the popularity of the seven. The researcher believes that this is the most “isolated” single-digit number. “Of the first ten integers, seven is the simplest,” he says. “It cannot be doubled within the top ten, or divided by two or three.”

Bellos also found that the choice of numbers is influenced by emotional associations. Thus, respondents characterized number one as “independent, strong and courageous.” The two were called "cautious, wise, gentle and pleasant." Three - “luxurious and imagining a lot about itself.” And four is the number “calm and mischievous.”

In addition, "in human culture it is customary to associate certain numbers with numbers mystical properties", adds the author of the study. Thus, people more often choose odd numbers, since they associate even numbers with death - after all even number flowers, for example, are placed on the grave, “hinting” that the days of the deceased are numbered...

Only some adherents of the occult love the numbers 6, 66 or 666, because these are the “numbers of Satan.” Even a non-superstitious person is unlikely to choose such a number of his own free will... The number 13 is feared by very, very many people. If you offer to choose between 12 and 13 or 13 and 14, then most likely the person will choose 12 or 14, despite the unpopularity of even numbers...

As for the number 3, beloved by many, in religion and esotericism it symbolizes the Trinity, or Trinity, a symbol of the unification of the physical and spiritual principles. There are many sayings associated with the "three". For example: “God loves the Trinity,” “They wait three years for the promised one.”

Seven is the number of wisdom, a symbol of the seven elements. Used in many magical and esoteric traditions. So, in Ancient Greece he was called the “number of Apollo,” the most beautiful of the Olympian gods. It symbolized perfection. At the same time, the ancient Greeks believed that the River Styx flows around hell 7 times, by the way, in Virgil it was divided into 7 regions - “the seven circles of hell.”

According to Islam, only in the seventh heaven can the soul experience the highest bliss. And Christians adopted from Buddhists the custom of giving seven elephants for good luck.

Seven is used in many proverbs and sayings: “Seven spans in the forehead”, “Measure seven times, cut once”, “Seven troubles - one answer”, “Seven nannies have a child without an eye” etc.

Favorite numbers are often single or double digit. Less often - three-digit or more... Often the choice of a favorite number is determined by some events in a person’s life. Let's say he was born on the 9th, and therefore his favorite number- 9. Or on the 17th, some joyful event happened in his life, and his favorite number becomes 17...

There are also “fatal” numbers that a person is afraid of because they bring him misfortune. So, in the family of the Russian princes Yusupov they were afraid of the number 26. The fact is that the Yusupovs came from the family of the Khan of the Nogai Horde, Yusuf-Murza. Wanting to make peace with Moscow, he sent his sons to the court of the Russian Tsar Ivan the Terrible.

People try to catch luck by the tail in any way. There are a huge number of options for this. One of them is to find your secret, lucky number and thanks to it always be on top.

Numbers are an integral part of the life of each of us. We encounter them all the time. There is even a separate science, whose representatives study numbers and decipher their meaning. It's called numerology. Specialists, knowledgeable in numbers, we are sure that with their help you can find out any information about a person, determine his fate, attract good luck and protect himself from troubles.

Numbers in numerology are usually divided into lucky and reverse. We - ordinary people we are accustomed to thinking that the following numbers are lucky: 5, 7, 9, and unlucky, in turn, are: 13, 666 and the like. Why do individual numbers have special power? In this article we will understand the principles of numerology, and also try to understand how numbers affect our lives.

Numerology is a simple, at first glance, science

The basic laws of numerology, which are still relied upon today, appeared in the sixth century BC. They were developed by the ancient Greek mathematician and philosopher Pythagoras. He developed the main principles of numerology over many years, combining various sciences about numbers. The main principle of numerology today is the transformation of multi-digit numbers (which have several digits) to single-digit numbers (one digit). Simply put, to determine your number, you need to add up the numbers of your date of birth, for example, after which you get a two-digit number. Then the components of this number are also added up, after which a single number is obtained. For example, after adding the date of birth, the result is 15. Next, we take and add 1+5+6 - this will be your number. If, after adding the above numbers, a two-digit number is obtained again, the action must be repeated until the number from 1 to 9 comes out.

Each number from 1 to 9 contains a special meaning:

1 – internal energy, determination;
2 – reliability, peacefulness;
3 – determination, movement;
4 – organization, patience;
5 – leadership qualities, influence;
6 – responsibility, decency;
7 – creativity, individuality;
8 – instability, changeability;
9 – strength, dedication.

An example of how to calculate your number based on your date of birth: for example, a person was born on January 1, 1980. This means that he needs to count as follows: 0+1+0+1+1+9+8+0=20, and then 2+0=2. It is the two that will be his number, indicating his character. In addition, this number can bring happiness to its owner.

Negative, disastrous numbers

One of the main numerological theories of Pythagoras states that two-digit simple numbers (which can only be divided by themselves or 1) can have negative qualities. Consequently, they have a detrimental effect on humans. Such numbers, for example, are: 11, 13, 17, 19, 23. The number 13 has special meaning, as it symbolizes disorder. Perhaps this also affected the perception of Friday 13. In addition, religion considers the number 13 negative, since thirteen persons were allegedly present at the “Last Supper”. The last (13th) was Judas - the traitor.

In the Middle Ages, Europeans believed in the superstition that when thirteen people gather at a table, the first one to leave the feast would soon die. In many countries, even in our time, they try to omit this number when numbering hotel rooms or residential apartments/houses. Some numerologists claim that it is on the thirteenth day of the month that the risk of getting into an accident or other misfortune increases. Even space agencies believe in the negativity of the number 13. The reason for this is the failure of the Apollo 13 spacecraft, which took off only 1 time. At the same time, the oxygen storage facility on board exploded on April thirteenth, and the rocket launcher itself, which sent the device, launched at 13:13. Coincidence? Most likely, yes, but very unfortunate and instructive. To this day, ships do not depart on the thirteenth, because they believe that they can repeat the fate of the thirteenth Apollo.

Fridays that fall on the thirteenth or 26th have a particularly negative reputation. The point is that last number is the sum of the previous one, so it supposedly affects twice as harmful. Proof of this can be considered the event that occurred on January 26, 2001. On that day, the TU154 plane, heading from Kemerovo to the capital, was forced to make an emergency landing in Novosibirsk. Only the skill of the pilots, who managed to cope with the falling plane, saved people from a terrible painful death.

At the same time, a ship sank in the Black Sea Ukrainian origin“Memory of Mercury”, as well as a private plane crash in New Zealand. In addition, on the same day in Sevastopol, residents of a high-rise building in which a domestic gas explosion occurred died. But the most terrible disaster of a given day connected with India and Pakistan - a powerful earthquake occurred there, killing more than one hundred thousand people.

It should be noted that in some countries the number 13 is considered lucky and brings life. For example, Chinese character, by which it is designated, is translated as “giving life.” Numerological horoscope claims that this number gives a person creative abilities and enhances his intuition.

"Devil's Number"

Oddly enough, this number is not the ominous “three sixes”. This is the number 23, which, by the way, is also simple, like the one described above. A huge number of tragedies are associated with this number, and it has also been negatively “lit up” in history.

It is known that Yu. Caesar received 23 wounds with a knife before his death. Rome fell on August 23rd in 467. 01/23/1556 China felt a super-powerful earthquake that killed a lot of people. On May 23, 1618, the Thirteen Years' War began.

There are also events closer to modern times associated with the “devilish number” 23. In November of this number (1962), a terrible crash of a Hungarian plane occurred in France, during which more than twenty passengers died. On the same day a couple of years later in Rome, a plane collided with an asphalt paver, killing five dozen people. In June (06/23/1985) the largest terrorist attack in the air - terrorists detonated a bomb on board a passenger plane, killing more than three hundred people.

Unlucky number 11

09/11/2001 - the most terrible and large-scale terrorist attack in the world took place in New York. Later, numerologists found out that more than one number 11 was present in this event. The name of the city (New York City) has eleven letters. The name of the terrorist who committed a terrible crime is also made up of eleven letters. In addition, New York is the eleventh state of the United States.

The first plane (of those that crashed into the tower) carried 92 people. Therefore, 9+2=11. In the second, in turn, there were 65 people: 6+5=11. The eleventh day of September is the 254th day of the year. If you add 2+5+4, you get the same number eleven. What kind of coincidences are these? Accident? Mysticism? Everyone thinks differently.

Lucky numbers that bring wealth and good luck

Pythagoras considered seven to be the luckiest and “correct” number, which is why it is still a lucky number today. Those people whose name has 7 letters, according to ancient mathematician, must be incredibly lucky. Sociological research determined that the majority of the inhabitants of our planet believe in positive qualities the number 7. Perhaps its lucky meaning is supported by popular belief, but it should be noted that since ancient times it has been known that seven is not a prime number.

By the way, the figure described above also has negative abilities. It goes very poorly with finances. Businessmen believe that it is impossible to store, borrow, or give away amounts associated with the seven: 700, 7000, 70000. These amounts can bring poverty.

Numerologists are sure that each of us has a money number - a number that attracts money to us:

For those born on the 1st, 10th, 19th, 28th financial luck brings the number 1;
2, 11, 20, 29 – 2;
3, 12, 21, 30 – 3;
4, 13, 22, 31 – 4;
5, 14, 23 – 5;
6, 15, 24 – 6;
7, 16, 25 – 7;
8, 17, 26 – 8;
9, 18, 27 – 9.

To calculate the number of individual life path And numbers secondary life path, write down your date in mm/dd/yy format. You will get 8 digits, including 0. So, if your date of birth is 29, 1985, then you should write: 04/29/1985.

Sum up all the numbers included in your date of birth: 0 + 4 + 2 + 9 + 1 + 9 + 8 + 5 = 38. If the resulting number is greater than 10, then continue adding its constituent numbers until you get the number consisting of one digit: 3 + 8 = 11, 1 + 1 = 2. This number is the lucky number of your life path.

The calendar day of your birth, 29, will also be considered a lucky number for you.

The lucky number can be obtained by first and last name. To do this, assign each alphabet its own serial number. The numbers in the Russian alphabet are as follows: A - 1, B - 2, C - 6, G - 3, D - 4, E - 5, F - 2, Z - 7, I, J - 1, K - 2, L - 2, M - 4, N - 5, O - 7, P - 8, R - 2, S - 3, T - 4, U - 6, F - 8, X - 5, C - 3, H - 7 , Ш - 2, Ш - 9, И - 1, Л - 1, E - 6, У - 7, И - 2. If you are Ivan Ivanov, then by writing down the corresponding numbers instead of the letters of the name and surname, you will receive: 1 + 6 + 1 + 5 + 1 +6 +1 + 5 + 7 + 6 = 39; 3 + 9 = 12; 1 + 2 = 3.

There is another personal lucky number called the Gua number. To calculate it, add the last two digits of the year in which you, if 1985, then the sum of the last two digits: 8 + 5 = 13, 1 + 3 = 4. If you, then subtract the resulting number from 10, the remainder - 6, is your gua number. The woman must add the resulting number to 5 and, if the result is a two-digit number, then add the numbers that make it up again until an unambiguous result is obtained. This will be happy gua number. In our example it is 9.

Encrypted numerical codes, which are the object of study of numerology, in a certain way influence what happens in people's lives. They can help you stay healthy, get rich, or stay out of trouble. Calculate your lucky number and try your luck.

Instructions

Make a table of the relationships between numbers and letters of the alphabet. Each of the 9 columns with numbers from 1 to 9 will correspond to several letters. The first line of the table will consist of letters from A to Z, the second will begin with the letter I and end with the letter R. Number 1 in the third line will correspond to the letter C, number 9 - the letter Sh. The letter I will be located in the fourth line in the 6th column.

Write your first, middle and last names on paper in block letters on separate lines. Using the table, write the corresponding number under each letter. Add the resulting numbers on each line to get 3 two-digit numbers. Now add together the digits that make up these numbers. For example, in front of you are the numbers 23, 11 and 35. This means that you need to add the numbers as follows: 2+3+1+1+3+5. The number 15 obtained in our example must be brought into its final unambiguous form by adding the numbers 1 and 5. This will give the number 6.

Calculate your lucky gua number using another technique. Add the last 2 digits of your year of birth. Upon receipt double digit number repeat the addition again. To find a lucky number, men must subtract the single-digit number obtained by addition from 10. Women must add the number 5 to the calculated number. If a two-digit number is obtained, it will also need to be reduced to a single-digit form.
