The concept of Three has been observed by mankind as being significant in the manner in which we perceive, understand, relate to and organize our reality. For example, we measure time in terms of three tenses: past, present and future. We perceive space (i.e., our world and reality) in a three-dimensional manner (length x height x width). We classify matter into three states: solids, liquids and gasses. We think of a group (of people, things) as consisting of three or more and the family as being composed of the father, mother and child.
Since time immemorial, the Three (often referred to as a Triad) has been particularly powerful in religion, mythology, folklore, philosophy, and alchemy. We see the concept of three related dieties or the three aspects of one diety, spirit or the divine in the Christian Holy Trinity (Father, Son, Holy Spirit), the Indian Brahma-Vishnu-Shiva and the Brahman-Atman-Moksha Triads, the Chinese Tao-Te-Chi as well as the Three Jewels of Chinese Buddhism, the Shamantic Spirit-Man-Nature Triad, the Pagan/Wiccan Triple Goddess (Maiden, Mother, Crone), the New Age Body-Mind-Spirit, the Classical Greek Three Fates, the ancient Egyptian Memphis and Theban Triads, as well as Osiris-Horus-Isis and Shu-Nut-Geb.
The equilateral triangle is considered a balanced, harmonious form and represents higher powers and perfection. Two equaliteral triangles, depending upon their arrangement, form a perfect square, a rhombus and a hexagram. The rhombus is a diamond-shaped figure and has been associated with the concept of "As Above, So Below" with the upper triangle denoting the sphere of Spirit and the lower triangle denoting the sphere of matter. The hexagram is a six-pointed star which has been considered to represent God's rule over the universe, with the six points representing each of the six directions. In a religious context, the hexagram is most famously known as the Star or Shield of David and is most commonly associated with Judiasm.
Thus, in both ancient and modern numerology, we think of a person whose birthdate or name reveals the numeral Three as being a person who is versitile, multi-talented, productive, communicative, expressive, artistic and creative. Such a person is optomistic, enthusiastic, popular, articulate and entertaining, freedom and fun loving. The Number Three is masculine in nature and the Number Three individual usually has strong ambitions and desires to succeed in positions of authority. Number Three persons are usually talented speakers, writers and singers.
While the developed Number Three individual is generally cheerful, friendly, humorous, confident and hard-working, the underdeveloped Number Three person can be moody, indecisive, vain, pessimistic, boastful, dictatorial and self-indulgent.
The Number Three individual has very similar challenges as both the Number One and the Number Two individual. The Number Three person has many inherent talents and interests but can become scattered if s/he is not able to develop one or two talents or interests in a meaningful way. This individual is also generally very charismatic, extroverted, exuberant and prone to being overly dramatic. This may cause him or her to appear to be, or actually be, superficial, shallow and unreliable.
