Null, nothing, The Void, Circle, Hollow, Empty

Astrology: the Moon (symbolically), ruler of Cancer Emptiness, spiritual essence, nothingness, blank Emptiness but containing everything. The Essential Void

Derived from the Latin 'nulla figura' (not a real figure) and relatively new in terms of mystical symbolism. Ancient Mayans and Olmecs had a basic understanding of the concept and represented Zero as an empty oyster. We can look at the Oyster as a give of life and therefore Zero as both an empty, hollow form but also a form which produces a living thing or another being almost magically.

Character traits: Empty yet whole. Essence of all things, accepting and creative.

Negative tendencies: Without form, shapeless. Lack of detail, unorganized

1
One with God, Male Phallus, a Point (in geometry), God the Father, Goodness (for Male dominated societies), Bad (for Female dominated societies)

Astrology: Sun ruler of Leo Independence, loneliness, creativity, originality, dominance, leadership, impatience. Daring and self-reliant. Pioneering, Independent and Creative.

All things are at their essence 'one thing'. There is One whole which has created a deep religious and mystical tradition identifying unity and singleness with goodness and therefor diversity and difference as bad. In all religions the essence of the belief is that of One God (even within Christianity, where the Trinity is well known, the eventual source is always One.) At first One was thought of as not even being a number at all since all other numbers are made from it - and it was seen as combining both opposites of odd and even and therefore all other opposites in the universe; because of this it was the number 10 that was seen as completion and perfection since it completed the series of essential numbers (1-9) and brought them all back to unity (10 = 1 + 0 = 1).

Character traits: Exceptionally powerful and dominating personality. Individualistic and intensely original and creative. An inspired and inspiring leader and a pioneer. Efficient and determined and good at initiating new projects.

Negative tendencies: Stubborn and contrary. Resenting authority, rarely seeking advice or follow it. Single-minded, wilful, impatient and possibly quick tempered. Obstinately proud and possibly difficult to deal with.

7
The Sabbath - seventh day (rest/worship), 7 Virtues, 7 Deadly Sins, Holy (3) + Mundane/Earthy (4)

Astrology: Jupiter ruler of Aquarius Spirituality, completeness, solitary, isolation, introspection Mystical, scholarly, a philosopher and recluse.

There are many 7 references throughout ancient religion: 7 sacraments, 7 virtues, 7 sins, 7 petitions, 7 'gifts of the spirit' - wisdom, understanding, cooperation, strength, knowledge, holiness. Seven is associated with the moon and therefore a number of reflection (symbolically from the reflection of sunlight from the Moon. Overall the implication is that this is a magical number; the person or thing referred to may be mystical and 'all-knowing' or desiring knowledge beyond all other things.

A completeness which is gained only from true insight, but at the expense of an inward focus, aloofness and isolation. This completeness is symbolized by 7 as well as 3 and 9.

Character traits: The Mystic, philosopher. Introspective thoughtful and somewhat aloof. Quiet, intuitive and meditative with a global perspective.

Negative tendencies: Aloof, isolated, solitary. May be secretive, sensitive but not openly and sometimes pessimistic.
