Number 2

Symbolism

On the one hand, given that it marks the transition from unity to duality, some see number 2 as the origin of evil. On the other hand, others see it as the completion of unity or the attraction of opposites. From here stem the desire to collaborate, harmony, tact and diplomacy. Number 2 is the epitome of calmness and politeness. It is a symbolic representation of both womanhood and motherhood. Having an inclination towards home life and arts, it appreciates refinement and gentility. It has some characteristics in common with the astrological Mutable Axes. The negative traits of this number include hesitance, shyness, indecisiveness, gullibility, conservativeness and ritualism. Those who are not aware of the positive side of 2 may also lack self-esteem.
