Number 17 in the pythagorean : method and number meanings tradition
In the Pythagorean tradition, 17 reduces to 8 (1 + 7 = 8). Eight is the number of karma, justice, power, and limitation. Yet the Pythagorean tradition itself, as recorded by Plutarch, was hostile toward seventeen, regarding it as a number of rupture and division. This is unusual: the Pythagoreans did not merely reduce the number but endowed it with an independent — negative — symbolism.
Strengths and weaknesses
Ниже — пересказ школы Cheiro, а не универсальная истина:

Number 17 in the chaldean : method and number meanings tradition
In the Chaldean school as presented by Cheiro, 17 → 8, planet Saturn. The number belongs to the series 8 — 17 — 26. The seventeenth number receives its own name — "The Star," as in the Tarot.
Traditionally, it is believed that seventeen carries hope, inspiration, and spiritual potential. "The Star" is the card that appears after destruction (after "The Tower," the sixteenth number), symbolizing renewal and faith in the future. However, like all compound numbers, the seventeenth may also manifest through its shadow: disappointment, unfulfilled hopes, illusions.
Compatibility: according to Cheiro, people of number 8 get along well with numbers 4, 7, and 9. The series 8 — 17 — 26 feels sympathy toward the series 4 — 13 — 22 — 31.
Colors: black, dark blue.
Stones: opal, onyx.
