I have a lot to say about this but I'm looking for other people who have found the number 4 going throughout history and science. Examples include the ancient Egyptians drew bees with four legs even though the tools for examination would have shown they had 6. If you research you'll find so many more examples showing the absence of the number in some places and the unmissable reappearance of it. Looking if magic can explain why.
This is all the information I have chosen to supply via the numerology of the number 4, I hope this helps you.

Number 4 Numerology
The salt of the earth
byHans Decoz
The 4 is without a doubt masculine, reflecting strength and stability. His chief characteristics are dependability,productivity

, punctuality and obedience. He is trustworthy, patient, conventional and a traditionalist. He is a bit boring and not much of a social person, preferring to toil in quiet obscurity. He works steadily and can be very persistent. He finds great satisfaction in his accomplishments and favors results over financial reward or public recognition. He is humble, dresses conservatively and blends in with his surroundings.
He is average in looks, physically healthy and strong, neat and clean ... but unremarkable. He does not like to draw attention to himself, but will fight you tooth and nail if you try to muscle in on his territory. He believes in effort and control, and is certainly goal-oriented, but his goals are simple and down to earth. He is not a visionary, but notices every detail. He is capable, has an excellent memory and doesn't cut corners. He is the perfect employee, but doesn't tend to do well in social environments.
If you look at the shape of the number 4, you will see that the hard angles are a proper symbolic representation of this rather straight-edged workaholic, who is neither creative nor artistic, but is good atworkingwith his hands. Many craftsmen and skilled laborers have the 4 prominently in their charts. He is a good provider, but demands discipline and loyalty, and in some cases takes discipline too far. He can't handle chaos and is prone to panic attacks if it appears he might not have things fully under control.
The 4's imagination is not well developed, and his views are usually narrow-minded and conventional. The 4 tends to be religious without questioning established doctrine, preferring to parrot the beliefs of his peers, feeling safe and secure in the predictable, unchanging nature of a tight discipline. More than any other number except perhaps the 7, 4s are found in the charts of monks, priests and other religious leaders. Many also become excellent managers and organizers, and it is not at all uncommon to find a 4 in the upper echelons of business and government. The 4 will work hard and can be driven to reach the top of his profession, but in striving to reach the top he usually finds that his greatest obstacle is himself: his lack of social skills, his inability to relate to the mundane issues of his co-workers and his lack of intuition.
The 4 doesn't like to make waves, but values his moral convictions and will not back down when convinced that he is doing "the right thing." However, he can also be intolerant and, when faced with people from other cultures, countries or races, his insecurity can turn him into a cruel bigot. Many 4s choose a career in the military, where their obedient, disciplined nature is right at home. They especially thrive when they are assigned duties that include administrative and organizational work.
As with any number, there are some contradicting traits within the 4. For instance, while he is not particularly social or fun-loving, the 4 sometimes reveals an entertainingly dry sense of humor. Further, although he is a strict and disciplined parent, the 4 is also extremely devoted and will walk through fire to get his kids what they need.
My description of the 4 is, not surprisingly, almost the exact opposite ofmy description of the 3. This is to be expected, as every number is, in important ways, a counterpoint to the one that directly precedes it. The2is the polar opposite of the1, the 3 displays traits that are directly opposed to those of the 2, and so forth. And of course the differences between the 5 and the 4 are like night and day!
Well this seems like nothing compared to YinWitch9's shared info, but when I was taking first year Mandarin Chinese in high school, the teacher told us that the number 4 is traditionally considered bad luck in Chinese culture (like the number 13 is here in the West) because the word for "four" (sì) sounds the same as the word for "death".
The number four means a lot to me personally: there are four seasons (spring summer fall and winter), four elements (air fire water and earth), four moon phases (waxing full waning and new), four times of day (morning noon evening and dusk/night), four stages of life (birth/childhood youth adulthood and old-age/death), four tarot minor arcana suits (swords, rods, chalices and pentacles)...
