Is number 13 really unlucky?

This column has been written by Numerologist Kashish Parashar.


The number 13 is actually a very lucky number. In fact, in India, the 13th day of the lunar fortnight is known to be highly auspicious and is called Triyodashi. It belongs to Lord Shiva and is said to bestow long life, peace and good fortune. A person who fasts on the 13th day becomes liberated from all their past and present sins.

Karma

Number 13 in numerology portrays focus, independence, creativity and a secure foundation. It is misjudged to be unlucky as it also depicts karma and tests of life. So if you are not a believer of karma, number 13 might seem to be unlucky for you as it will make your bad karma come back to you in full circle.

Birthday on 13th

If you do anything new on the 13th day it will give you positive results. Adding up to number 4. A person born on the 13th is lucky to possess the qualities of a person born under the destiny numbers 1 st , 3rd and 4th. Such people are highly intelligent and street smart.

13 surrounds our lives

Number 13 is an extremely important number and surrounds all our lives. It's the beginning and the end. It always completes the full cycle of life. There are 13 cycles of the moon, 13 weeks each of the four seasons we have, the teenage years start at 13.

5/6

Cycle of life

The number is related to death and the last cycle of our life which freaks out people and scares them, but, what it means in reality is that if you have lived a life full of good karmas, you will have a peaceful death. If not, then you will have to pay for what you did before you die. Right here, right now. As long as you have good karmas by your side, number 13 is not unlucky for you. It's just the number of justice. Be good, do good, no harm shall come to you.

6/6

Business

It's an excellent number for business as well. It assures growth and win. It's a mystical number which holds great sacred power. It's a spiritual shield filled with the divine feminine power that will protect you and stand by you just like a mother. If you see a lot of number 13 around you, it simply means that your fears and doubts are getting healed and you are moving towards growth.

No need to be scared by any number, especially 13. There's no bad luck as such as long as you are backed up by your good deeds.
