Many of the superstitions surrounding numbers have a basis in science and nature.
For example, early astrologers1 believed that seven planets governed the universe and
therefore the lives of human beings. A seventh child was thought to have special gifts.
Human life was divided into seven ages. Every seventh year was believed to bring great
