Twenty-One: The number of the World or Universe Card in the Tarot, and called ‘the Crown of the Magi’ by the Chaldeans, in dice divination, this number means advancement, honors, elevation in life, or some other success in life, but only after a long period of perseverance, hard-work, persistence, dedication, and tests of dedication. This is the pay-off-for-all-those-years-of-hard-work number.

Twenty-Two: The number of the Master Builder in numerology, and in some Tarot decks, the number of the Fool card, in dice divination, this number can indicate some key development or crucial turning-point in one’s life may be coming soon. They could become involved in some big, important project, of which they are only a small part. Or, it could be a warning that the thrower is headed for some cosmic pratfall. They need to take off the blindfold and look reality in the face, for they could be walking headlong into trouble!

Twenty-Three: Called the ‘Royal Star of the Lion’ number by the Chaldeans, in dice divination, this is a happy number to throw. It indicates successes ahead, both great and small. They may find themselves receiving assistance, protection, or even advancement or a gift by superiors who favor them. Fortunate future events and the success of one’s plans.

Twenty-Four: Combine the number two, meaning relationships and things possibly not being what they seem, and the number four, meaning misunderstandings, arguments and disagreements, and you have 24. Since both add up to six, meaning home and family, it could mean domestic bliss for someone, but it could come at a price for someone else. This number is associated with the Cain & Abel story in the Bible. Someone’s poor anger management skills could soon result in a passionate action with life-changing consequences for all concerned. The thrower of this number in dice divination may soon be witness to an event they’ll long remember.

Twenty-Five: This is the ‘School of Hard Knocks’ number, the ‘gain-through-strife’ number. When throwing this number in dice divination, it foretells that any gain which the thrower sees in their life, or in a particular situation, will come only after they have been through considerable hard-work, difficulty, tragedy, obstacles, challenges, and pain. The caster will have no choice but to show a quiet, passionless strength through the whole ordeal. There may be some injustice which they will have no choice but to accept. This may be a time to sit back and simply do nothing but observe and take notes. The one bit of good news is that, whatever happens, the lessons learned from this period, and the strength gained, will forever be the caster’s own and they will not forget.

Twenty-Six: In dice divination, this number means the caster is in danger of getting into trouble, disaster, or ruin as the result of their association with certain individuals and the endeavors these people may have gotten them to participate in. This number is the sure-fire, can’t-miss investment opportunity which crashes and burns, that ‘fun’ friend who always seems to get you into trouble, the relative who always imparts what turns out to be bad advice, or the partner who is a genius at getting trouble started. In numerology, this number is associated with Jehovah—that’s Yahweh, but in Angry Mode. Think Father-who-is-fed-up-with-your-friendship-with-that-damned-kid. It may be time to give some hard thought to the sort of people you hang-out-with when you roll this number.

Twenty-Seven: For some reason, the Chaldeans called this number ‘the Scepter.’ In dice divination, it means the caster of this number may soon be asked to take some position of power, authority, leadership or command. If the caster has a productive intellect or creative bent, this number can also indicate that they could see the rewards of their intellect or creativity coming in soon. Indeed, it could be that the position of power or authority which they may soon be asked to take could be in relation to the products of their intellect or creativity.  Like twenty-one, this can be seen as another fruits-of-one’s-labors number.

Twenty-Eight: Of all the thirty numbers which can be thrown by up-to five dice, this number is one of the worst. It’s definitely in the bottom five. On the positive-side, in dice divination, this number can indicate a person of great promise and great possibilities. The danger is that through the caster’s own carelessness, oversight, overly-trusting nature, over-estimation of the competence of others, or failure to accurately-gauge the opposition or competition of others who are greedy for what they have, the caster is in danger of losing everything they have, of having it all taken away. This number is a strong caution that the thrower needs to take extra-precautions and try to secure themselves against all conceivable forms of loss, for if they lose something in the near-future, it will be gone. They will have to start all over, from scratch.  

Twenty-Nine: Two is the number of relationship. Nine is the number of endings and culmination. Add them together, and you get eleven, also known as the ‘lightning bolt’ number. In dice divination, to throw this number could indicate the caster is feeling uncertainty about someone or some situation at this time. There may be treachery and deception going on. Trials, tribulations, unexpected dangers, betrayal, or all of these may lie ahead. This number suggests a power struggle of some kind is coming in the caster’s life, a power struggle which may soon come to a head, possibly resulting in violence. This may mean a break-up. At the very least, throwing this number can indicate some small degree of bad luck is coming, but if this is the case, it will be nothing of lasting importance. Whatever scenario plays out, the caster of this number is encouraged to persevere, for they will experience brighter days again.

Thirty: Three being the number of joy of living, sociability, creativity, verbal or written expression, and zero being the God number, if the caster has thrown this number, it could mean a divinely-ordained happy period in their lives coming just ahead. If there is a creative idea they want to pursue, a self-improvement program they’re thinking about embarking-on, or something daring or risky they’ve been wanting to try, they are encouraged to go for it and do it, for the energies of the Universe are behind them in this, support them, and will not let them fail.Conversely, this number has also been associated with introspection and retrospection. If the caster has been considering going on some sort of spiritual retreat, this number indicates now would be a good time to do it, or to start planning for such a retreat.
