Properties of the number 17

Symbolism

• Number of the Son of Man, according to Abellio.

• Represent the action of the evolution on the Cosmos and its tendency to the karmic liberation, 1 + 7 = 8, according to R. Allendy.

• Symbol of the man participating to both worlds, celestial and terrestrial, according to Prevorst. Henry Blanquart goes in the same way telling that it "represents the junction between the material world and the spiritual world".

• Ominous number for Italians, as the number 13 in Occident. Thus, in Italy, there is no bedroom 17, no 17th floor, etc., this because of the number 17 that in Roman number is written XVII, considered as the anagram and the numerical value of the Latin expression VIXI that means "I lived" therefore by extension "I am dead".

104 Comments for Number 17

SEVENTEEN!!!

by Barry Wood - 9/02/10 9:39 AM

Around a year and a half ago, I moved into this great house full of people i didn't know, one of my new housemate's lucky number is 17, he told me all about how it shows up everywhere in life for him. Low and behold, as soon as he told me about this, i started seeing the number 17 everywhere too. Now our whole house (there's 7 of us in total) always shout "SEVENTEEN!!" every time it's mentioned anywhere on TV, on a road sign... anywhere - and you honestly wouldnt believe how often it appears. I see it multiple times a day, its not like i'm looking for it or anything, its just always... there.

I swear just about every day i'll think to myself "what time is it?" only to look at the clock and see it is 17:17. It's really bizarre... not to mention the home i was living at before i moved into this house was the number 17!

I only found this article because i just happened to read a news headline that said last month was the coldest August in 17 years, which as usual made me smile a little to myself, and I just decided to see if anyone else had mentioned something about 17 being so abundant in there lifes... and so here i am :)

HELP ME!!!

by Anonymous - 6/16/10 4:44 AM

I see the number 17 everywhere! it is my best friend's birth date and I see it in phone numbers, books, road signs and plenty of other places. I started counting the number of times I would see it in a day and on 17/7/07 I saw it 17 times it was then when I became anxious to know it's meaning. Over the years I have done a bit of research and found a lot of crazy things about religion and angel numbers. I do not belive in any sort of god so i don't know what to think of it. PLEASE HELP ME!

numbers are pertinent to everyone

by ee - 8/16/10 7:30 AM

All numbers are pertinent to everyone. If you look at your own birthdate, name and regular numerology numbers you will find that the numbers you resonate with will keep popping up everywhere. These are spiritual reminders for you, to get your attention, to remind you of your intent in being here.

My understanding of 17 is that it is God. If you add up the letters of God, 7+6+4=17. 17/8 is a reminder to merge with God and become 8, the sign of infinity.

That is one reason these forums now exist and many people are experiencing 17, another universal reminder, that we are all connected, and therefore God incarnate.

HI
I think I feel the same as I notice this #17. It's a number that brings positive feelings and if I saw it I know that everything will be good.
I open this number for myself when I was 19. Then I understood that it has been following me all my life but I didn't noticed it.
When I see #17 everywhere during a couple of weeks and I can see future.

RE: I'm a little worried...

by claudia - 1/20/10 1:53 AM

I read that 1 = YOU and 7 = GOD.
The meaning of number 17 means that you have to look for God inside you. It means you have to connect more to your spiritual side.

Seventeen stabbings or shots

by DrCAG - 2/24/10 10:02 AM

I have had several dreams that later become true. When laying down to sleep, but still awake, I get thoughts of dying of 17 shots or 17 stabs. I don't look at the clock and see the 17, but the number pops into my mind very often. I was born November(11) 04, 1971. I see the 71 as an inverse of 17, but other than that I haven't counted the letters of my name or any events to see if they add up to 17. I cannot make a real connection of the number 17 to my life other than those recurring thoughts of being stabbed or shot 17 times. But the weird part is that I always dream stuff about me and people I know that happens later on. That's creepy and my husband and son are now aware of it. It started when I was about 10 yrs old. My son (14) sais I should try to gain some control over it and see if I can see stuff happening in the future. So far the dreams are at random or as a result of a question I ask God or an invitation I give God right before I go to sleep. After, I have symbolic dreams with saints and located in old churches in which the characters of my dreams tell me "I have a message for you" and they give me what I think is an answer. I don't tell anyone other than my husband and son about it cause I don't want people to think I'm crazy. But undeniably, something's going on. I have premonitory dreams. How do you explain that. Can I learn to control it?

17 Links Jesus With Buddha : )

by Voln Gharst - 9/09/09 8:39 AM

Hello,

Thanks for the website.

If you take 153 (number of fish from Tiberia Sea) and divide it with 891 (supposedly this number 'could' represent Gautama Buddha, **see below**) ... the result?

153
___ = .17171717

891




**RE:891 -11 x 81 Buddha's Age at Death- and also, 891 x [THE KEY] or 273 = 243,243. Only reason why it might connect to Buddha is because 891 repeats with 273. Just as 273 x 528 (or THE KEY x THE KEY) = 144,144
Could this prove the 100th Monkey Theory of DNA Evolution? Could the 144th Human be that 100th Monkey?

100 (100th Name Reserved the Christ?) + 44 (Seraphim - Highest Order of the Angels) = 144

1
__ = 0.0227272..(272 repeats)-227th Day Mary was Born,
-*see note*272nd Day Jesus' alleged Nativity
44


*September 29th = Feast of Archangel Michael**


Sincerely,


V.G

The Meaning of Negative 17

by Anonymous - 8/23/09 12:35 PM

I dreamed that I was helping a friend teach a group of children. My friend is the Principle of a public school. I saw children in the dream who had been instructed so well that they hung all of there cloths in perfect order on hooks on a wall. There were another group of children who had come in from playing outside. Their coats were wet. They dropped the wet cloths in a pile on the floor. I saw a beautiful blanket with prayers engraved on the blanket. I could not take my eyes off this blanket. It was the most beautiful blanket I have ever seen. The prayers were recorded on the blanket. I also saw a cassette tape with songs sung by the children. Next I saw children gather at a table and the principle removed one child from the group who is now home schooled and who has video bible lessons everyday. The Principle said you are a negative 17. I felt sad for the child. Then a person asked the Principle if she wanted to go to market and the principle hesitated to answer. I woke up.

"1 means god. 7 means consciousness or union.

If 17 repeats in your daily life and your associated numbers then it means that your special destiny is to dedicate yourself to the search of god within yourself. To work on the reunion with the one. In simple words, this is the time for the spiritual stuff in your life.

Don't hesitate, don't worry, this is a clear and very strong sign, it is a sign that all your doubts regarding spending time on spirituality rather than on other things should not concern you anymore.

The very fact that you have noticed the recurrence of the 17 in your life means that something within you is aware of this destiny and is ready to hit the road"

It means to believe in ALLAH only

by Kane - 2/08/09 11:00 AM

I was born on june 17th and I came in the US on Oct 17 th. I see 17 everywhere such as clock, car, walls, all over. Then I decide to find out about this number. Yes this site gives a hint. Also, I found out that Jesus was born on June 17th by an Australian stargazer Dave Reneke who used complex computer software to chart the exact positions of all celestial bodies and map the night sky as it would have appeared over the Holy Land more than 2,000 years ago.
Now, I pray more to ALLAH and become more religious than ever before. I have seen a huge change in my life. Please read more about modern science in the Quran. You will be amazed, your faith will become stronger and your 17 number will be more meaningful.
Thanks

i should of looked sooner for this page

by 17 - 2/10/10 3:20 AM

I was born 11-17 @ 7h17 pm- I have tried to convince myself over the past years- that every time I looked at ANY clock- it was pure coincidence it read 11:17 - I mean I've even tried to tell myself its me being a concieted scorpion- I'm not going to say all the things that have happened with the # 17- but I will say that regardless- of good or bad memories I love it- maybe the clock thing is just chance- but I find such COMFORT in this Number 17 than in almost anything in my life- its like a bond only me and this number know about- its good to know I'm not crazy or the only person that realizes that some things are really more than what we think- I've always felt my numbers connected me to something greater- I feel it more towards the universe and the creator- not the bible- 1 and 7 are two numbers that's makes us unique:-)

17

by Nohemi - 1/10/10 2:42 AM

I have had similar experiences as everyone else. My birthday is on 12-17. I see the time 12:17 on my phone, other peoples phone, my TV, my computer, etc. Today is the first day I tried to figure out what it means. I went to a numerology website but all I gathered was the the number 17 is an eventful number.
I have learned the most from reading these postings. I think all of us 17nrs need to embrace the number. Believe it is a good number to have in your life, if you have the option between a jersey # always pick 17, I believe god blessed me by letting my born on the 17 and gave me something extra by having a lucky number. Whenever possible it will bring goodness to your life.

The post says 9:20, but that could mean that it was 11:20 in her time zone and was posted 3 minutes after the fact of her looking at the clock, not the actual posting time. You have to remember that there are relevant aspects to this. Whether it's 11:17 or 9:17. My birthday is 12/17/1961. I see 12:17 (a.m. or p.m.) and xx:17 on a clock all the time just casually looking to see what time it is. Not all the time but very frequently. Also, if you add the numbers in the year I was born: 17.

17 in movies

by 12:17 - 12/21/09 2:33 AM

I stumbled on this today as I was searching for reasons why the number 17 follows me. It appears in almost every movie I watch. I could not find out why hollywood uses it. I wonder if it brings luck and success. My husband and I assumes its our lucky number. We married on 12/17 our best friend's birthday is 12/17. 17 was my husbands badge number, it is my employee id number. If we buy a raffle ticket it's 17. If I look at the clock its either 12:17 or ??:17 almost everyday. This number hasn't just come up once or twice its been hundreds of times over the last 15 years we've been married. My kids are now even looking for the number everywhere they go. So far it has only brought blessings and not curses. Good Luck to all of you fellow 17 friends.

17 has been popping up everywhere

by cc - 10/15/09 6:25 AM

My sister was killed recently, and my daughter, Sister's very good friend and myself went on a road trip to the town where her headstone had just arrived and see it for the first time. While traveling every meal the three of us had together, breakfast, lunch, or dinner came to $17, this happened four times in a row. Then when leaving the place we stayed we looked at the door and the address was 17. I came to work the next day and a co-worker was joking and said the number 17 not knowing our experinces. It was very strange and wonder if it was a sign or something?

A Number I was Chosen with 17 - XVII

by JC Ferral - 3/18/09 11:16 AM

You know growing up I would play sports and get involved in many activities. The number 17 would always follow me such as being my jersey number or just using that number and I always had it by chance. Or was it chance? No I think I was destined to have the number 17. Since it appeared so much and I've used it for such a long time, it has become a nick name and now I have a tatoo of the number 17 in Roman Numerals (I'm quite fond of roman numerals). That is my story of 17

My random number for a corporate run was 666...loved the pictures. My motorbike race number is 17. I am italian...I bought my helmet on the 17/7 by chance. 17 represents a number of events, deaths and misfortunes but seen another way it is often the number of the last death, day an ongoing conflict or war ended and so on...I think having analysed it, it represents a non divisible number and the sum of 10, a number of worldy perfection and the cristian number 7...the holy number for divine perfection. I like to think there is an element of determinism associated with it that leads everybody to their eventual path in life. 666.1 in the bible 6+6+6 - 1(everyone forgets the 1) = 17

I too feel that way. For example, when ever my boyfriend and I are fighting, I'll get off the phone with him around 11:16, or 11:18. Point is, They are always Numbers around 17. Like the other night, we were fighting, and we hung up, then when he called back, it was 12:17. and I knew before he even said a word, what was going to happen. We made up. Also as stated above, Seventeen restores the harmony after the fights of the existence. It is the image of the initiate who has succeeded his interior marriage.



Now here's my experience with the number...
Born- September(9) on the 17th.
Time- 5:12 a.m.
Full Name- contains 17 letters.
Boyfriend- his birthday also adds up to 17, and we met on July 10th. July is the 7th month. 7+10=17. my boyfriend's Name is Austin. the Origin of Austin is Augustine. St. Augustine said "In the number seventeen as in its multiples we find an admirable sacrament".
Sports Number- always been 17.

I was in a play once, and the director was handing out scripts randomly, and just by chance i got the 17th book. ( they were all numbered)

School- class number has been 17, 7 times.
Clocks- almost every time i look at a clock, this time is _:17. or i can add the time up to 17.

I'm just looking for answers...

If you want to be shocked.

by Robin - 5/03/09 11:03 AM

My first love and I met on November 17. We have both grown and agree that we gained better life-altering qualities simply because of one another solely. I'm really very lucky and according to numerology my life number is 17! I was born on April(4) 24, 1990.

Determining Your Life-Path Number:

"Let us say that you were born on March 29, 1968.

March is the third month--3

the day 29, 2+9 totals 11

the year 1+9+6+8 totals 24 which reduces [2+4] to 6

Now add 3 with 11 [11 being a Master Number does not reduce]=14 +6=20

Drop the zero, and you have 2 as your Life-Path Number."


I've been reading about the french philosopher Renee Descartes who found the value of math in accordance to life in general. I strictly do not believe everything I hear because I choose to gather my own knowledge by being open to many points of views...and yet I have never been so relieved to know that i'm not crazy! Someone else realized things that I have too. It's very rare. I was comforted. He has contributed greatly to our systematic world today...whether it's ultimately good or bad...i'm not sure yet. But either way the number "17" had a significant impact throughout his life too! And this was the book I just happened to read! (Out of a million other books that could have landed on my lap.) And get this, my first love that I met on November 17 was the one who gave it to me!!

Now be prepared for THIS. My first love's birthday is December(12) 24, 1988. His numerology number is 17!!

It is the combination or sum of two perfect numbers—seven and ten—seven being the number of spiritual perfection, and ten of ordinal perfection.

Contrasted together the significance of these two numbers is clear; and when united in the number Seventeen we have a union of their respective meanings, viz., spiritual perfection, plus ordinal perfection, or the perfection of spiritual order.

In a seperare numerology report my number is also -6 and so is my first love's! Favourable Period April 20 - May 27. Favourable Dates 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, 30. It is now May 3rd! The first day I ever considered even taking any sort of numerology seriously!

the number 17

by anonymous - 4/17/09 5:13 AM

Here's what I know about the number 17. It is symbolic of financial ups and downs. Lots of money followed by lack of it, sometimes a painful lack of it.It is also an idealist's number. In my opinion, it is mostly lucky, not unlucky. For that matter I've never noticed bad luck with the number 13 either. You gamblers out there, I'm sure would disagree strongly, and so would people living in Italy where 17 is ominous. Others of you may be thinking that the number adds to eight ( 1+7 ), and so must have eight significance, but I say, eight's eight, and seventeen's seventeen.

Seventeen and Shakespeare

by John Bigelow - 12/21/08 1:52 AM

Two Shakespeare scholars, Alastair Fowler and Thomas Roche, have argued that Shakespeare's 154 sonnets were arranged in groupings 17+16+15+ ... +3+2+1 = 153 (with one extra). They point out that the first 17 sonnets in the collection are encouraging a young man to have children, and there is a striking change of topics after that. They point out also that some of the sonnets mention the Pythagorean notion of "pyramidal" numbers: eg sonnet 123 (note that "123" itself suggests a pyramidal number). But this might be mere coincidence.

number 17

by Anonymous - 10/08/08 2:18 AM

My wife and I met on 17th June, we married on 17th May, my son was born 17th April, my daughter was born 10th July (7th month + 10 = 17) and my wife's parents move house on the 17th of this month. 17 seems to be significant in our lives.

seen many times

had this number present itself to me several times within the last week, this after a long internal battle and struggle, I put out to the universe "I want a sign to tell me I am on the right path" and so I am!

It's meaning for me

This number has been on my mind and in my thoughts for a number of years and I finally decided to see what the meaning of 17 is to me. I could not go to sleep tonight until I looked this up, it is now three AM on 9/14,08. Thanks.
