Friday 13 holds a lot of superstition but where did this superstition stem from? The number 13 is considered unlucky in Western culture often because of The Last Supper that was attended by 13 people, including Jesus, then the following day he was crucified.
According to legend a year that consisted of 13 Full Moons instead of 12 would cause problems for Monks as they were in charge of creating the calendars. The problem was that this would upset their regular arrangement of Church festivals and thus the number 13 became unlucky.
The Pagans and Celtic calendar was based on the lunar cycle. Each year was made of 13 months (or moons), and each was 28ish days long.
Then the number 13 is often linked with negativity BUT, in numerology it is a karmic debt number so the universe will spread more spiritual awareness and create positive vibes, as long as you try to radiate them in the first place.
In numerology, you reduce double or triple-digit numbers down to one figure. For the number 13, you add 1+3=4. You can also look at 1 and 3 separately and use these meanings to understand the number.
The number 1 symbolises energy, motivation, momentum, power, and action. It’s about paving the way forward, setting goals, and being proactive to make things happen.
The number 3 symbolises a childish, playful innocence. This is because 1 (masculine) + 2 (feminine) = 3 (the child). This number is all about creativity, having fun, being curious, and expressing love and joy. It has a youthful and positive energy to it.
When we think of the calendar year being ruled by the moon this is because it mirrors menstrual cycles and is feminine by nature (while the sun is masculine). The infinite life, death, and rebirth cycle, along with blood, fertility, and creation, are feminine cycles. This means that the number 13 holds a lot of feminine power.
Friday is also ruled by Venus the plant of pleasure, beauty, sensuality, and love so take time to honour these elements and allow yourself some pleasure and beauty whilst having fun and letting your inner child play 🖤
