This topic went up to 13 pages, if it weren't for me. :P

The significance of any number is that it exists!

If you look, you'll notice 13 is represented in all traditions.

One theory is that it takes 12 spheres to render 1 centre sphere invisible.
Based on that proposition there are 12  members in a coven who provide invisibility and psychic energy for one witch/wizard (who is the 13'th sphere).
Solar astrology (used for fun and light predictions) has twelve signs as they are based on the movement of the sun through 4 seasons consisting of 3 months each.
Lunar Astrology (used for deep insights) has thirteen signs as they are based on the lunar movements of 13 months made up of 4 weeks each.

Friday the 13th was deemed unlucky after The Pope ordered the orchestrated murders and assassinations of the Papal army, The Knights Templar, to be carried out on that date.

[quote="alpanasharma1311"]I had another input on number 13. US has considered number 13 as important, the flag has 13 stripes, when it became independent country, it had 13 states originally and even the annoucement letter through which independence was announced was signed by 13 persons, its motto E.Sluribusllnum has 13 characters and when George Washington raised rebulion standard he was saluted with 13 guns.

I find number 13 a very lucky number. I had been doing a lot of study on this number as my birthday too falls on 13 nov.[/quote]

I don't mean to be picky but isn't the US motto "E Pluribus Unum" Which is Latin for - "Out of Many, One" ????
If not what does "E Sluribusllnum" mean???

accidental double post!

oops!
I forgot to mention the 13th (hidden) solar sign.
That sign belongs to "The Astrologer" who through his understanding of astrology knows he is in fact the embodiment of all the signs at the same time. Knowing his being is in perfect balance with the entire cosmos he rises above Astrological paradoxes.
