This is a highly spiritual number, and was expressed in symbolism by the ancient Chaldeans as the 8-pointed star of Venus. The Star is the image of love and peace, and promises that the person or entity it represents will rise superior in spirit to the trials and difficulties of earlier life, with the ability to conquer former failures in personal relationships and the career. 17 is the number of immortality and indicates that the person's name will live after him. This is an extremely fortunate compound number, with one warning: it reduces to the single number 8, so it's important to read the special section about 4 and 8.
Be sure to read about the special relationship between the Numbers 4 and 8.
