Prince and the number 7

I have started to notice the number 7 popping up a lot when it comes to Prince

Does any one see this 2?

What does it mean?

Examples.....

Born on the 7th
Died 04/21 (4+2+1=7)
Died last year (1+6=7)
Songs associated and equalling 7....
3121
7

I know some may think it's all a coincidence ~ but I don't

Shelby said it's his number because he was born on the 7th.

But his numerology life number is 9, not 7. So - ya know. shrug What does Shelby know anyway about his number? Anyone can say that about a person, doesn't mean it's true. (Just sayin'.)

I know nothing about that and numerology.


As far as Shelby goes, maybe because they've had a conversation about it?

I don't know much about it either. But I know how to find a life number. You add your month, day, and year down to a single number. Prince's would be:

6+7+1+9+5+8 = 36

3+6 = 9

I think a lot of religious people look to the number 7, because it's a number of completion, and it's very prevalent in the Bible. 7 seals, 7 bowls empties, 7 trumpets, etc etc. 10 is a big number too - 10 plagues in Egypt, 10 commandments, etc etc. Prince was probably no different in trying to find meaning in a number.

I have a lot of 4s around me. Not really sure what it all means, but it's like that episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation where the number three kept coming up. haha

I always thought his interest in the number 7 was for 100% biblical reasons, but what she said made me think there could be a host of reasons why he holds the number 7 dear, a lot of it could have been very personal to him.

I guess I did because you were explaining how the number 7 is wrong based on numerology and I was repeating what I heard Sheby J say in an interview. Now since the number is wrong based on numerology then I would guess that Prince is not using the number 7 in his work so much based on numerology so there must be another reason. He was born on the 7th day of June though.

You got, like, ten digits to choose from and he has a thousand odd songs, of course it comes up. You could do it with any number,


1 ->

Born on june 7th - 7th day of 6th month, 7-6 = 1

* The One.

* 3121 - two one's and three minus two equals one

* 1 + 1 + 1 = 3

2 ->

* Died aged 57 - 7-5=2

* 2gether, 2morrow, 2nite,

*3xTWO=6,

* 20ten


3 ->

* Died april 21st = 2+1 = 3

* Born 7th June 1958 - 7+1+9+5+8= 30

* 3 Chains Of Gold,

* 1+ 1 +1 = THREE

4 - >

Died April 21st 2016 - that's the 4th week of the 4th month of 2016 (the month started on a friday)

* First album called Fo(u)r You, obviously something dear to his heart from the beginning
* on his FOURTH album Controversy he recites the lords prayer, clearly 4 was a very important number to him that he waited 4 albums before praising the lord.

* 4ever
* 4Love

5 ->

God I dunno, Born in June and Died in April, the month inbetween is the FIFTH month, spoooooky

* 5 women

etc. I can't be bothered to do any more rolleyes

I've read Touré's book, it's a great read but he also has a tendency to massively stretch points to his argument, like that numerology bullshit he pulls at one point. Not to mention how many basic mistakes he makes not even knowing what albums some tracks are on, it's like he never proofread the damn thing.

Prince sang about his journal full of numbers in The Breakdown:

A journal full of numbers that I used to go through

(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) all behind me now, all because of you

Now this right here is a perfect example of why I hope Prince left a journal or two. I get he wanted people to understand him through his music. But it's cryptic, easy to be interpreted all kinds of ways. Here I see a very intelligent person putting their own spin on this song. We don't know this person's motivation. The way he's spinning it sounds​ too far reaching to me to take seriously but I can see how others can see it just as he's presenting it. Quite disturbing to me.

True it's obvious he was into the number 7. Maybe he was into numerology maybe not I don't know. I still like Shelby's explanation, it's simple and probably has a lot of truth to it. Maybe it's why some don't like that explanation it's too simpdo and not exotic enough.
