The Star of the Magi
This is a highly spiritual number, and was expressed in symbolism by the ancient Chaldeans as the 8-pointed Star of Venus. The Star of the Magi is the image of Love and Peace, and promises that the person or entity it represents will rise superior in spirit to the trials and difficulties of earlier life, with the ability to conquest former failure in personal relationships and the career. 17 is “the number of Immortality,” and indicates that the person’s (or entity’s) name will live after him. This is an extremely fortunate Compound number, with one warning. It reduces to the Single number 8, so it’s important for anyone with 17 as a Compound Key Number to carefully read the section about the numbers 4 and 8 at the end of this chapter.
