| Numerical Meaning Of Number Four |
| The meaning of "four" is found here. |
| Tarot Association: The Fours stand for stability. The Fours talk about having achieved a certain amount of structure through the element to which the Four is aligned. The Four can carry a warning that one is not being attentive enough or is not applying enough effort to create |
| the situation they hope to manifest. Fours talk about sturdiness (or lack thereof by reversal). The Four is also associated with The Emperor, the man who rules competently and well over his domain. Kabalistic Link: The Four is the first of the Sephiroth in the Lesser Countenance of the Cosmos on the lower plane. The Four is called Chesed. Chesed stands for Mercy and Majesty. We can call Chokmah the "initial |
| seed” in the abstract. Chesed has the same force of energy but in a more solid form as the loving father figure, the protector and preserver. Chesed is the masculine protective force. Chesed is the King who sits upon his throne and holds both scepter and orb. He is the kind benevolent ruler who guides his population with love and wisdom. Chesed is aligned with the abstract idea and he can even select images that fit his needs to bring them down into the concrete plane of Malkuth. Pythagorean Description: Four was the Tetrad. It was considered to be the pimogenial number. |
| It was the root of all things. It was considered the most perfect of numbers because of it’s inherent balance and stability. The Tetrad was considered to be emblematic of God because it is symbolic not only of itself, but of the numbers (1, 2, and 3) that came before it. The Tetrad was considered to be the middle of the week, the center of marking longer-term timescales. The Pythagoreans called 4 the Number of Numbers because it was the final of the numbers to create the “decad” or 10. (1, 2, 3, and 4). To throw the geometry in, the Tetrad was considered to be the first actual geometric solid. With the Tetrad full existence could occur. Pythagorus is reported to have believed that the four powers of the soul – sense, mind, opinion and science – were represented by the Tetrad. The Tetrad connects all things and all beings in its most elemental of forms. It is the first solid. It is the perfection. The Tetrad affects all things – beings, elements, numbers, seasons, etc. Everything that was real could be related to a factor of four. The Tetrad is the Maker and Cause of all things. Through the Tetrad God was formed; through the Tetrad and intelligence of God, celestial and sensible good was brought forth into the Universe. The Tetrad when multiplied to Nine (4x9) you come up with 36. This happens to be the number you arrive at when you add the odd numbers (1, 3, 5, and 7) and the even number (2, 4, 6, 8); you get a total of 36. This was the Tetractys – also called the world…but on a bigger scale. Due to it’s high status in the Pythagorean School, not near as many gods and goddess from other Pantheons are aligned with strong and stable Four. A few that are carry great strength: Vulcan, Mercury, Urania (Muse), Bacchus (hey, ya gotta know when to have a good time), and Hercules. The Tetrad was said to represent the secondary colors and the minor planets in the solar system. The roots of Masonry are seen with the combination of Four (the square) and Three (the triangle) on their Masonic Aprons. The Tetrad was considered a strong number aligning strength and virility to the individual. Impetuosity is possible. In the Pythagorean system, the Tetrad represents the solid in the progression 1 – 2 – 3 – 4. This progression symbolizes the flow from point (1) to line (2) to surface (3) to solid (4). |
| Agrippa aligns the Tetrad with the traits of solidity, performance and foundation. In the numeric square, the 4 is the second number of the Physical level of 1 – 4 – 7, hence the 4 is the representation of the physical center. General Characteristics: Fours tend to be enduring because of their stability. Whether in relationships or careers, once a choice is made by a Four, the choice rarely changes. Responsible and stable you carry the weight of others easily. Normally neat and efficient in both personal and work habits you are one that many look to in order to be able to achieve stability. Logical, honest and loyal, you support 100% when you commit to a cause. Don’t let your positive traits of reliability and sturdiness turn into stodgy and boring. Fours can allow themselves to fade into a rut if they forget to see the individual trees within the entire forest. Equational Associations: Fadic Number: As your Fadic number, Four tells you that your independence is well placed. You will prefer challenge and activity – even up to uncertainty, and are not afraid to rise to the challenges put before you. You are resourceful and quick on your feet, but self-control can be at issue for you. Fadic Number Four indicates that your challenge in this life is to learn to use your self-discipline to enforce and temper your courage. Sometimes its wise to wait and see just why the Angels fear to trod there! Challenge; Personality; Name and/or Destiny Number: The Pythagorean meaning of the solid matter of the Number Four is still recognized today with the Four representing form and matter. Logical and secure you are one of the first ones to see the best path to a goal and are sometimes mystified why others don’t see what is so apparent to you. Material gain will be important to you, but not the end all be all of how you measure your life. The challenge placed before you is to ensure that you remain aware of how you treat your fellow man. Do not let competence become self-righteousness; nor should you allow your natural intelligence allow you to disparage others whom you feel are less quick-witted. Life Number/Fate Number: You are a Four. You are stable! But, like the table whose four legs are out of adjustment is wobbly and rickety, you can loose your equilibrium if you aren’t careful. Your logical approach to life and everything in it is seen in your practical problem-solving skills and your ability to see the easiest solution quickly! Some of your friends may even refer to you as “Mr. Spock” because your logic is always impeccable. You don’t spend a lot of time up in the clouds. Consolidating what you have here is your challenge and you work in a down-to-earth manner to achieve that goal. Your reliability is at such a height that it can become a “liability” when you have too many relying upon you. Use that practicality to draw appropriate boundaries. 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 combinations for Four birth digits: 4th – practical and responsible, dependable unto stodgy, introverted, solid. 13th – decisive and earnest; intellectual, analytical, masculine energy. 22nd - excellent match of intellect and emotion; feminine, passive, potential. 31st – much like the 13th, but with fewer difficulties, strong desire to act. Lover’s Match: If you take the root main name numbers for each individual in a relationship of any type, you can get a general idea of the strengths and weaknesses of each individual and the relationship. It’s a great tool for hiring professionals to see how an individual will fit within the corporate structure too. Here we focus on lover’s relationships. The Four relationships tend to incorporate partners who are the example of opposites attract. However, with the stability of the Four, the distance between the individual characters of the partners is not in danger. Once a Four relationship has been committed to by both parties, you might as well start shopping for something to wear to the wedding/joining ceremony, because it’s going to happen. Once they realize that the love between them is true and sound, the combinations that sum out to a Four are blessed with a relationship that is sound, solid and stable. You both enjoy the challenges and strengths you each bring to the relationship. With a solid foundation you are both comfortable in allowing the other their space for growth with jealously not being a factor. However, nuances abound and here are some in the romantic pairings that end in Four: 1 + 3 = balance between emotion and reason must be maintained; strong bond. 2 + 2 = privacy, stability, foundation, tradition, living the simple life w/ each other. 4 + 9 = perseverance, working together, team work, either it is or it isn’t - no gray. 5 + 8 = establish rules; plan spending; free spirits connecting; meeting at center. 6 + 7 = chemistry works; bound by tradition and caring; strong emotions; heat. |
