A practical way to track hidden patterns in your tarot readings
If you work with tarot or explore numerology, you already know that numbers have a strange way of showing up everywhere; hidden in patterns, cycles, and “coincidental” moments of insight. Ancient traditions recognized this and used numbers not just for counting, but as keys: rituals, myths, and coded systems all were built around them. When you start following where the numbers lead, you find the same themes repeating across ages and practices, pointing to deeper meaning just below the surface.
The Magic of Seven
Think about how often the number seven recurs. In tarot, sevens walk the line between assessment and faith. The Chariot (7) is victory through discipline. The seven of swords and seven of cups open up questions about choices, trickery, and illusion. In classic numerology, seven is refinement, signaling inner work, purification, and those periods of evaluation before clarity.
Certain traditions label seven as the “refining fire”—a symbol for trial that tempers and transforms. In ancient systems, seven is everywhere by design. The practice was to look for sevens in every story, ritual, or life cycle. Even the Hebrew word saba means seven. Shabuah means to seven oneself, reflecting commitment, vows, or the closing of a big pattern. In origin narratives, the word tov (good) gets stated seven times, marking out completion by goodness.
In numerology and tarot, noticing repetitions of seven or finding numbers that reduce to seven (like sixteen: 1+6) acts as a signal. For example, consider the Ace of Pentacles (1), which signals a new idea that leads to economic growth, coupled with the Six of Wands (6), which takes the concept to victory from inception through the struggle of your internal fire, your passion, and your energy. It then allows you to then seven yourself (1+6 = 7) — find your next step in the cycle.
Patterns of seven often point to times of challenge, deepening self-knowledge, and the final stages before something lasting takes shape.
Take the Five of Pentacles (5), scarcity, hardship, or exclusion. It's the struggle in your earthly situation because you couldn't make a decision. The Two of Swords (2), a roadblock; a stalemate that can only be overcome with you assessing and deciding (5+2 = 7)
If sevens cluster in a reading, or if your current life cycle keeps hitting seventh measures: weeks, months, birthdays, anniversaries. Then consider what’s being challenged. And from that challenge, what's being made “good” in the process? Seven out of nowhere is rarely an accident.
But, at the same time, the seven is just the beginning. When that energy builds, it doesn’t stop; it triangulates. And that’s where the number 153 comes in.
In sacred math, 153 isn’t random. It’s a hidden outcome number, one that shows up after a test, when your nets are empty and the next move feels invisible.
If you’ve been in a cycle of waiting, watching, or wrestling with your next step, this number isn’t a coincidence. It’s a signal. Its been coded into sacred systems, numerology, and even tarot spreads for centuries.
