Number 37 – The Mystery of Numbers, Luck, Worlds and Planets

In older traditions, the number 37 was recognized as highly fortunate. In later Chaldean traditions, it became known as the “Royal Star of the Bull” or Aldebaran, as well as the “King of Cups.” Generally, it exerts a positive influence, fostering favorable connections, harmonious partnerships, courage, love, status, and professional success.

When the number 37 is doubled, it yields 74, one of the rare relatively fortunate numbers in the 2 series (7+4=11; 1+1=2). Multiplying 37 by 3 results in 111, which is considered the number of the Pleiades—a predominantly lucky number, similar to 21.

Multiples of 37 also exhibit fascinating numerical properties. When 37 is multiplied by any integer, the result will always numerologically correspond to that multiplier. For example, summing the digits of the multiplier and the result yields the same base number. Consider 37 x 14 = 518: the digits of 14 sum to 1+4=5, and the digits of 518 sum to 5+1+8=14; 1+4=5.

When the digits of the multipliers add up to 3, 6, or 9, the products of numbers from 111 to 999 will always result in a number made up of three identical digits. For example, 37 x 3 = 111, 37 x 6 = 222, 37 x 9 = 333…

The number 333 is widely revered today as a number of manifestation and spiritual reconnection. It represents the first multiplication of 37 (base number 1) by a multiplier with a base number of 9. Numerologically, 1 signifies a beginning, and 9 signifies an end. In the Pythagorean tradition, this relationship symbolizes the Alpha and Omega—a sense of wholeness.

When 37 is multiplied by 18, a number associated with war and materialism, the result is 666. In its negative aspect, 666 symbolizes war, devastation, beasts, and egoism. Numerologically, 37 can signify a military leader, while 18 represents war. In Christian tradition, 666 is the number of man and the beast. According to the Genesis creation narrative, God created man on the sixth day, and 666, being a tripled six, symbolizes humans. Moreover, the digits in 666 sum to 18, the number of war, beasts, and aggression.

When 37 is multiplied by 24, the result is 888. The number 37 represents love and harmonious relationships, while 24 typically brings luck and prosperity. The digits in 888 also sum to 24. In Christian-Pythagorean tradition, influenced by Chaldean numerology, 888 is considered the number of the Redeemer. The Greek name for Jesus, Ιησους (Iesous), carries the numerical values 888. However, in Chaldean numerology, the number 888 can also have a nuanced and challenging meaning related to how the digit 8 operates—a topic for another discussion.

The opening sentence of the Bible, “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth” (Bereshit bara Elohim et hashamayim ve’et ha’aretz) has a total numerical value of 2,701 in Hebrew gematria:

When 37 is multiplied by its mirrored counterpart, 73, the result is also 2,701. Additionally, summing 2,701 with its mirrored counterpart, 1,072, yields 3,773—a number that seems to unify numbers 37 and 73.

The Hebrew word ha’aretz (הארץ), meaning “the earth,” has a numerical value of 295, which is the product of 37 (love and strength) and 8 (Saturn, associated with the element of earth). The word ve’et (ואת), signifying connection (specifically between heaven and earth), has a value of 407. This number is the product of 37 and 11 (base number 2, representing connection or separation). Genesis 1:1 thus establishes the foundation of creation: seven Hebrew words correlate with the seven days of creation, with love (2,701) as the core principle. The created earth (295) exists in a realm of love and is connected to the higher world through love (407). Additional interpretations connect the number 2,701 to Jesus Christ, which can be explored further online.

Number 37 is known as the “Royal Star of the Bull,” “Royal star of Taurus” or Aldebaran, also referred to as Facula. The Roman astrologer Ptolemy once wrote, “Of the stars in the head, that one of the Hyades which is bright and ruddy, and called Facula, has the same temperament as Mars.”

Based on this, Aldebaran is often interpreted as a star of honors and successes, but also as a star of disputes and violence. Number 37 is not only a royal star, but it is also associated with the leading luminary that governs this number. Number 37 has a base number of 1, which represents the Sun. Following the standard astrological interpretation, the conjunction of Mars with the Sun leads to the following interpretation: disputes or violence, danger of wounds, and violent deaths. At the same time, it must be considered that Aldebaran, being the “royal star,” also brings honors and success. Given the generally unstable nature of political positions, we may arrive at the idea that with the conjunction of Aldebaran and the Sun, success and fame are often followed by downfall and disgrace.

It’s important to note that due to its status as a highly favorable royal star, Chaldean numerology has regarded Aldebaran for centuries as a more favorable influence of Mars. According to this interpretation, the star brings positive developments, brilliance, and influence. Individuals associated with this star are courageous, unafraid of their adversaries, and usually emerge victorious in battles against them. Their ability to fight for their goals stems from the martial nature of this star. They often act for the greater good, and it is rare for them to suffer wounds from opponents (which contrasts with the general interpretation!).

As a conjunction of the Sun with “positive Mars”/Aldebaran, number 37 can indeed bring some disputes and conflicts, yet individuals with this number typically emerge as winners. This conjunction also brings business triumphs, enabling a person to secure both their prosperity and beneficial partnerships. Due to the intrinsic nature of Aldebaran, it is advisable to avoid connections with aggressive numbers, such as 18. Modern interpretations by Chaldean numerologists in the latter half of the 19th century and the early 20th century follow this “Chaldean” astrological reasoning, largely preserving the traditional meaning of the number.

Chaldean numerology and astrology were utilized in the 15th century for the Italian interpretation of tarot cards. Thus, Aldebaran appears as the “King of Cups,” and, in addition to courage and honor, brings pleasant emotions, friendship, and love. This aligns with the traditional nature of number 37.

Sepharial provided the following explanation of the number: “XXXVII (37). Royal star of Taurus. Union; marriage; protection of ladies in position; goodwill; sincere friendship; success through associations with the opposite sex.”

Cheiro described the number as follows: “37. This number has a distinct potency of its own. It is a number of good and fortunate friendships in love, and in combinations connected with the opposite sex. It is also good for partnerships of all kinds. It is a fortunate indication if it appears in connection with future events.”
