Number Four, A Blocked Door; Number Nine, Very Fine

A few weeks ago, I wrote a blog called “What’s
Your Lucky Number?”, and I was totally amazed on
how many people wrote me back. Mary asked me about
the number 4 and what I thought about it. Well, in
China, number 4 is the most unlucky number. When
you get on an elevator, there’s a first floor,
second floor, third floor, and the fifth floor.
They skip the number 4 completely. Even though
people claim that they are not superstitious in
the United States, you’ll notice that there is no
13th floor in any elevator or building. 1+3 = 4. 4
is considered a box. From a numerologist’s
standpoint, these numbers are stagnant, blocked
energies. But, it’s not that number 4 can’t be
your lucky number.

In the Chinese system, they use the number 9 as a
very lucky number and the number 81, 8+1 = 9, is
the luckiest number of all. It is the total Yang
number. The Yin number would be 36, also equals a
9. The Five Element System addresses Fire, Earth,
Metal, Water and Wood. In the Yin set, we address
the Five Yin organs — the heart, the spleen, the
lungs, the liver, and the kidneys — to keep you
healthy, young and beautiful.
