| Numerical Meaning Of Number Three |
| The meaning of "three" is found here. |
| Tarot Association: In the Tarot, Three is the number of completion. The Threes represent strong creativity through the element to which the suit is aligned. These advancements brought through creativity tend to lead to development and growth. |
Kabalistic Link: The Number Three in Kabalistic study is Binah, Understanding, the Throne. Benah is feminine (Negative/receptive) and as such is able to receive the positive flow from the Chokmah. She is the great Mother of the Universe, but her sterner side is shown by her being at the top of the pillar of Severity, for the embodied spirit sees death on the horizon as soon as it is born. With the descent of life into form sorrow and death are a part of |
| the experience. As a seed which is planted and tended actually dies to bring forth the life of the new plant so that it may grow and multiply, so Binah is the death for Chokman and truly does belong atop the Pillar of Severity. In numeric linear equation 1 – 2 – 3 the digit 3 represents synthesis Pythagorean Description: The Triad was considered the first actually odd number (monad, or one, was not always considered a true number). With the Triad comes the unity of the Monad and Duad. The Triad stood for justice, and this allegory holds |
| true even in the modern judicial systems. The Supreme Court is comprise of nine justices (3x3), the number of jurors at a jury trial is normally 12 (3x4). There are actually three main players in a trial – the attorneys, the jury, and, of course, the Judge. Again, the Triad. A spiritual correlation for the Triad in the Christian sense is the Triad of “The Father, The Son, and The Holy Ghost.” As the Pythagoreans pre-dated Christianity, it should be noted that for them the sacredness of the Triad came from it’s being comprised of the Duad and Monad. You cannot have the Triad without its subcomponents of Duad and Monad. By combining the two initial elements of numerics, you come to the Triad. The Triad was sacred for the components that combined to make the Triad. It was believed that the triad was the number of knowledge. Music, geometry and astronomy were said to come from the Triad. (A chord is normally a combination of 3 notes played together.) The keywords that were given to exemplify the Triad were peace, virtue, friendship, justice, prudence, piety and temperance. The Triad was sacred and carried great power. This is evidenced by the Gods to which it is associated. Saturn, who was the Ruler of Time; Latona; Conucopiae (abundance); Triton, Ruler of the Sea; Tritogenia, Achelous, Thetis; and the Furies, Fates and Graces. Triad is considered to symbolize wisdom because it is the human condition to perceive and organize things as past – present – future. It is through learning the lessons taught by the past (both our own and that of cumulative history) and the experiences we gain in the present (again, both as an individual and as a part of a macrocosm) are what create the ability to more forward into our future. Forseeing the future was thought of as looking ahead. By incorporating the lessons of the past into a positive present we may set the stage for a greater future. The Triad cannot be discussed without mentioning its geometric associate – the Triangle. The Triangle was sacred. It was the creation of Monad and Duad, who were understood to be Divine Father and Great Mother. The Triad is considered androgynous because it is of both masculine and feminine and carries traits of both. In Pythagorean theory it was believed that God gave birth to His words out of Himself, and it is He that is always symbolized by the Triangle. In the Pythagorean linear theory of 1 to 2 to 3 to 4, the Triad symbolized the surface in the flow from point to line to surface to solid. Aristotle is claimed to be the one to tie the concept of “Many” to the concept of Three. Signifying multiplicity and fertility, the fullness of life, the Triad was believed to channel positive energy. In the more modern Western world, the Triad is considered a mystical number because of its representation of the idea that the Thesis of One (the God or God figure) combined with the Antithesis of Two (which is man). The importance of three as a number has lasted with us through the ages. Of course, the Christian Triad (Father, Son, Holy Ghost); the genie in the bottle is to bestow upon his releaser three wishes; turning in three circles for good luck; one-two-three – GO!; in some belief systems it is believed that the harm you cause others comes back to you three fold. Even our children’s nursery rhymes tell us about the prominence of the number three – “three blind mice.” Many of the focuses used by those of the Wiccan belief system are based on a system of three. Three was considered to be an especially powerful number and in some way or another the idea of three or the triad is in many of their focus works (spells). |
Agrippa agreed with the Pythagorean ideal of the Triad indicating that the Three stood for the Trinity, for wisdom, for the knowledge of the individual and knowledge of mankind as a whole. General Characteristics: The Three is the first of the numbers on the “mind level” of a numerological analysis. Multiples of three; six and nine, finalize the row of the “mind level” in an analysis block. Threes tend to be happy and fun-loving, enjoying the good (and finer) things in life. Creative and optimistic they can be great starters. Threes tend to do well in occupations requiring creativity and artistic expression. Many Threes (more so than other numbers) find a calling in the spiritual or religious professions. Threes have been accused (sometimes rightfully so) as being overly flirtatious, scatter- brained (Threes do seem to prefer to live in the moment), extravagant, and sometimes cynical and manipulative. Your temper can get you in trouble, especially when your creativity and beliefs are questioned. Threes tend to be lovers of life in all its aspects. Whether it’s a leather bound copy of their favorite book, or a silk tie, fine crafted work will appeal to you – because you, as a creative person, appreciate quality work. You love a good time and if one isn’t happening you’re willing to make one happen. To ensure you don’t squash your strong traits of exuberance and creativity make sure your professional choices allow both the exuberance and creativity to be used to their best advantage. Used well they are excellent tools; allowed to sit and fester without attention they will erupt around you!! Equational Associations: Fadic Number: Those with a Fadic Number of Three must ensure that their enthusiasm and vigor needs to be tempered with common sense and reality. Its great to dream big, but big dreams take big work to manifest. However, you don’t have any trouble seeing the moment and seizing the opportunity when it comes your way. Challenge; Personality; Name and/or Destiny Number: Three as your Challenge Number ensures that you will have the vigor and creativity to see your projects through. Sensitive and sociable, you seek out the company of others and enjoy (sometimes to a deep need) receiving accolades for your efforts. Normally expressive in very creative ways you are sometimes misunderstood. Threes are strong-minded and independent sometimes to a fault. Not easily satisfied with the run of the mill, the Three personality expects nothing but the best! Like all of us you were “raised to reject rejection,” but Threes tend to take rejections far more intimately than others. Sometimes needy and attention hounds, Threes when unbalanced can be difficult to deal with. Luckily, Threes tend to be optimistic and look at the bright side of life. Life Number/Fate Number: Creativity is put into everything you do because that creativity is such a part of you. Constantly on the go you prefer an active life over being a couch potato! Independent (sometimes to a fault) you will fight hard to maintain that independence. Your idealistic nature may have you championing a worthy cause – whether its helping the neighbor on hard times or making a difference in a larger scale – you will find a way to help. Your versatility is a plus in both personal and professional lives. Psychic Number: Your Psychic Number relates directly to the numbers in your date of birth. Since the numbers of days in a month are limited, there are a limited number of equations or dates that can be reduced to any specific single digit. There are those that are born on the date itself and then nuances between the different birth days. Here are the break-downs for those with a Three for their Psychic Number: 3rd – Action, ambition, knowing what you want and how to get it, creative thinking. 12th – Ambivalent, complex, active, extroverted, enjoys a world of variety and fun. 21st – Similar to 12th (numeric reverse) more receptive and introverted; creative. 30th – Great personal creativity; uncontrollable impulses; driven; action, motion. Lover’s Match: When you add the numbers of two people together you can get an idea of how the relationship may go “by the numbers.” It’s a quick and easy way to see if an employee will fit in to the new office, or if that new love might just be what you’re looking for! Three is a very important number when it comes to relationships. In fact, the number 3 indicates that the romance will never die…there will always be plenty to do and lots of love to share. Of course, butting heads will happen, but the make-ups are going to easily put the discourse behind you. Here are some of the specifics of how the Three combinations work in a romantic relationship: 1 + 2 = mutual giving; give and take; looking out for each other’s needs. 3 + 9 = It’s Love, what more do you need? Busy, creative & social; good mates. 4 + 8 = intellectual connection; mutually career ambitious and supportive, strong. 5 + 7 = either it is, or it isn’t. You either pair immediately, or learn quickly to not. 6 + 6 = Forget the Sevens and stick with the Six! Love, laughter, and great times. |
