Numerology and Thirteen; Number of Transformation

[damon gerard]

Why do we consider the number thirteen to be unlucky? What is there
about it that causes us to lump it with black cats and broken mirrors
as something to avoid?
Many people choose to stay home, and avoid meetings on Friday the
13th, though few could tell you why this superstition exist. Many
office buildings and hotels skip the number 13 in their numbering of
floors, or rooms. We even have terms, such as a baker's dozen, which
we can substitute for thirteen.
Thirteen men sat at Jesus table for the Last Supper, and afterwards he
was betrayed by Judas. Thirteen is the number of the Death card in the
Tarot, but it doesn't actually portend a physical death as some cards
do - it is a card of transformation and change.
Thirteen in Numerology
To both the numerologist and the tarot reader, thirteen is a number of
transformation. It usually leads to a destruction, a tearing down of
the old structure, followed by a rebuilding in a new, often better
form. It is never an easy process, and requires hard work and
persistence to see it through.
Thirteen in a numerology reading, calls for a testing of your basic
principals; what you believe in. It attracts changes in your fortunes
that lead to shifts in your world view. It reduces to a (4) a number
rooted in practical matters, and hard work. It will tend to bring
opportunities to recreate yourself, but only at a cost.
So, don't be afraid of the number thirteen. Instead treat it as the
ancients did; as a divine and powerful number for change.
