Numerology & The Number 13 – Luckier Than You Think

The number 13 has little to do with "bad luck," despite the
U.S. Navy, supposedly, avoiding launching ships on Friday
the 13th and many Americans viewing the 13th and anything
related to the number 13 as negative.

The association may be due to Jacques de Molay, the first
Grand Master of the Knights Templar, being burned at the
stake in 1314 on a Friday the 13th after a trial overseen
by the King of France and Pope Clement V.

The number 13 has a bad rap largely due to its unusual
qualities. In particular, 13 represents "all or nothing"
through transformation pertaining to degeneration or
regeneration. Symbolic death and rebirth is strongly
associated to 13. An example of the representative power
of the number 13 is transitioning from modest means to
vast wealth.

13 is considered a "Karmic Debt Number," as are the numbers
14, 16, and 19. These numbers involve more challenging
karma than other numbers.

The number 13 in key positions in a person's numerology
charts frequently symbolizes, depending upon the rest of
the charts' contents, the following energies: an irresponsible,
lazy, immature, idle, trivial, extravagant disposition; lack
of seriousness, or the opposite (one extreme or the other);
rigidity; inefficiency; restriction; low vitality, etc. There
is also the high side of 13, so keep in mind that the above
qualities are only part of the picture.

Otherwise, in matters of love, the number 13 involving time
cycles is solid and very often exceedingly fruitful.

In short, the number 13 isn't any more unlucky than any other
number. There exist negative and positive, and balanced, over-
balanced, and under-balanced qualities for every number. Bad
luck associated with Friday the 13th is just a misconception,
fueled by fear and subjective viewpoints.
