Just like astrology, where experts examine planetary positions, birth charts and zodiac signs to discover an individual’s life path and predict their future, numerology is another stem of esoteric studies, one where numeric patterns are analysed to gauge success and failure in a person’s life. A combined study of both these practices helps provide nuanced predictions, and a common starting point is learning about the unlucky numbers for all zodiac signs.
The ruling planets of different zodiac signs are ascertained with specific numbers. While these digits are believed to bring positive vibrations and good luck, others are thought to bring doom and bad luck to the zodiacs. Natives of all zodiac signs are advised to actively avoid these unlucky numbers for their car name plates, house numbers or any address numbers.
Here are the unlucky numbers for all zodiac signs
Aries — Number 6
Aries natives are advised to stay away from the number 6 because its energies are contradictory to the ambitious, go-getter and spirited nature of this cardinal fire sign symbolised by the ram. This number might make them feel listless, tired and demotivated.
Taurus — Number 7
Taureans are symbolised by a celestial bull and ruled by Venus. They are known for being grounded, reliable, and pleasure-seeking, accumulating wealth to enjoy a good life. Number 7 is believed to disrupt financial stability, which could make the natives feel depressed and low.
Gemini — Number 3
The unlucky number for this flirty air sign is 3. This number could make them anxious, restless and constantly worried about their future professional and personal goals. Number 3 can dim the fire in their belly and have an overall negative impact on their personality.
Cancer — Number 4
Cancer is the most emotional sign on the zodiac wheel because it is ruled by the moon. These non-confrontational, empathetic and soft-hearted natives might not feel centred or thrive under the influence of number 4. This unlucky number might make them feel emotionally trapped in a situation.
Leo — Number 9
Leo is ruled by the Sun denoted by the lucky number 1. They love themselves and like attention. They are also great at expressing themselves and being confident. Number 9 dampens these efforts, causing Leo natives to feel restricted and uninspired.
Virgo — Number 8
Virgo is a mutable earth sign ruled by the planet of communication and thinking, Mercury. They are known for being over-analytical perfectionists who also tend to overthink. This number may put them in a self-critical mindset, potentially impacting their mental peace and health. Therefore, they should avoid this number.
Libra — Number 5
Libra is an air sign ruled by the planet of love, money and harmony, Venus. Symbolised by a weighing scale, they are non-confrontational and fair in their outlook towards life. Number 5 can create confusion in their minds, which could, in turn, affect their decision-making skills.
Scorpio — Number 2
Scorpio is an intense and intuitive water sign known for its emotional depth and slightly sceptical nature. Number 2 is unlucky for the Scorpio natives because this number is ruled by the moon, which directly affects the natives’ inner world. This number has a negative impact on the Scorpios and makes them jealous and vindictive.
Sagittarius — Number 6
Like Aries, even Sagittarius is a fire sign filled with positive energy to seek new adventures. They don’t thrive very well under the influence of the number 6 because this digit is said to restrict their freedom and make them generally dissatisfied.
Capricorn — Number 3
Capricorn is ruled by Saturn and is known for being disciplined and serious about their responsibilities. Number 3 is unlucky because it leads them to harbour feelings of frustration and irritation at the workplace. Avoid this number, especially before important business deals or meetings.
Aquarius — Number 4
Aquarians love to innovate, transform and grow themselves constantly. Their revolutionary plans can hit a curveball with the influence of the number 4 as this digit has the potential to make them adhere to a routine and put a wedge in these plans and is thus considered unlucky.
Pisces — Number 1
Number 1 is ruled by the sun while Pisces is a meditative and calm water sign ruled by the planet of dreams and fantasies. Number 1’s aggressive, ambitious, over-zealous and excitable tendencies clash with Piscean demeanour and make them feel underconfident and unsure of themselves. Therefore, this is counted among the unlucky numbers for this zodiac sign.
