What sets Number 7 Meaning apart
Seven is prime and, inside the decade 1 to 10, neither divides another number nor is divided by one apart from 1, a property Philo of Alexandria used to call it a number that neither begets nor is begotten. It counts the days of the week, the seven classical planets visible to the eye, and the seven days of the creation account in Genesis, giving it a place in both astrology and scripture.
- Arithmetic: a prime, and 2 × 7 = 14 already lies beyond 10
- Scripture: seven days of creation, the Sabbath on the seventh
- Sky: seven classical planets: Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn
- Letters: G, P and Y in the Pythagorean table
- Derives from: karmic debt 16/7
Often mistaken for something else: Number 3 is read for expression and speech; 7 is read for silence, study and withdrawal.
