But first, a primer on the culturally symbolic number, 3. The significance of the number 3 spans across many different cultures and religions—think, the holy trinity in Christianity or the Trimurti in Hindu tradition (or a more colloquial example: receiving three wishes or bedtime stories like the three little pigs and Goldilocks’ three bears). And there’s a reason for the saying that 3 is the luckiest number. Perfect, even—according to the Greek philosopher Pythagoras (ever heard of him?), who purported that 3 was the number of harmony.
Similarly, in numerology, the number 3 represents creativity, self-expression, optimism, and communication, numerologist, astrologist, and tarot reader Vannessa Williams, of Beyond Your Sun Sign, previously told Well+Good.
