I keep feeling like 2007 is going to be a good year… a lucky year, even.
And here is some evidence… “[Seven] 7 [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 days of the week, phases of the Moon, notes of the musical scale, colors of the spectrum, the seven original fixed stars, the seven graces, the seven virtues and, from the Bible, seven days of creation, 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. So the number is regarded as highly spiritual and philosophical. Its people are intuitive, perhaps psychic, and not 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 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.”And more: “The mystic number 7 is often linked with intellect and wisdom, a symbolism thought to be based on the implication of progression and accomplishment in the seven days of the week. The verse in the book of proverbs which says the house of wisdom has seven pillars. In Buddhist iconography, the Buddha’s footprint bears seven symbols of his divine wisdom, and the Buddha is said to have taken seven paces along each cardinal direction of space in order to comprehend the entire universe.”
