Meaning in Chinese numerology
Chinese numerology reads each digit by what it sounds like, and gives the last digit the most weight
1 1 sounds like 一, meaning a beginning and oneness. It is treated as a neutral digit that leads other digits in a set and gives them meaning.
7 In some dialects 7 sounds like 去, meaning to leave, so it is seen as neutral leaning negative, although some groups regard it as a digit of coming together.
17 contains none of the popular Chinese lucky combinations, so the reading relies on the meaning of each digit, especially the last one.
According to Flying Star feng shui, Period 9 runs from 2024 to 2043, and the digits 9, 1 and 8 are considered the lucky stars of this period. The system therefore adds a few points when the last digit is one of these three. This is an interpretation based on the star periods, not a fixed rule, and it may change when the next period begins.
