《Numbers: Their Occult Power and Mystic Virtue》數字的神秘象徵 (Occult Power of Numbers)William Wynn Westcott (1890)
St. Paul said he preferred to speak 5 words in a language understood by his hearers than 10,000 in an unknown tongue. In arranging an Horoscope some astrologers used only 5 aspects of the planets — the conjunction, the opposite, sextile, trigonal and tetragonal; and the evil or good fortune of the person seemed to depend on them.
