What 4 means
Four is the square: four corners, four directions, four seasons, four elements. It is order, routine, effort and law. Fours are the hardest workers in numerology, reliable, practical and loyal to systems that work. They build what lasts. In Vedic numerology Four belongs to Rahu, the shadow planet of sudden reversals, which is why Fours often swim against the current. The shadow is rigidity: stubbornness, harshness, a closed heart and the temptation to enforce rules with force.
