The Numerology of 3: Its Meaning and Significance
The number 3 gives strength, confidence, greatness, and expansion ability. 3 is the number of Jupiter, the most giant and most massive planet in the solar system, and loves grandeur and expansion. Like Jupiter, the number 3 emits a lot of energy in the surroundings. They believe in themselves and instinctually know their worth. People under the influence of the number 3 are ambitious, goal-conscious, dynamic, and self-aware individuals who set high demands on themselves and others. For number 3, success is alpha omega.
3 also has a great sense of humor and loves to have fun with friends and family.
The number 3 is often called the strongest of all the numbers. Like the Roman God Jupiter, the number 3 commands much power and respect. Jupiter has 69 moons and stands at the center of a great family. Therefore, the Jupiter archetype is the patriarch or matriarch, used to being the one in power that pulls strings. Only the best is good enough, and the 3 desires perfection and success in all of life's aspects. They demand respect, and if others cross their limits, they will instantly respond and reclaim their status and boundaries. The 3 gets its power from a very powerful sense of strategy. The 3 energy is very mentally awakened, and it can use the innate sense of strategy in fields ranging from academia to science to playing chess.
The 3 energy tends to set up a facade, so others only see a glossy image of their life. However, this ability to set up a façade may backfire, so they eventually cannot feel their own emotions.
For the 3, one of its greatest lessons is to realize that all life's experiences are learning processes, not just a string of successes or defeats. Life goes up and down for everyone, and it is more important that we learn and grow than having a diploma or paper that states that we have a perfect life, the ideal career, and the perfect partner.
3's have enormous power and innate talent to manifest their wishes and live their dreams. The 3 energy in balance is ambitious and focused and also allows itself to enjoy life with friends and family along the way.
The number 3 prefers to have positions of power and influence and feel comfortable as directors and leaders. 3 also feels comfortable in politics where they can lead without letting their emotions disturb their judgment.
When the 3 energy is blocked, the 3's self-esteem drops, and a victim mentality can set in where they become envious and compare themselves to others who are more successful. They try to find explanations outside themselves and project blame on others. When the 3 energy is too powerful, it shuts down its emotions, becomes cynical, arrogant, and dominant, and justifies the means with the end goal, even if those are questionable. It can be overly critical, competitive, uncompassionate, and judgmental.
The actualized 3 energy achieves success and greatness that comes from a sincere and genuine place – deeply connected to the prominence of Jupiter.

3 is under the influence of JUPITER
Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system; it is expansive and powerful and has a considerable family of moons around it. It is like a solar system within our solar system.
Jupiter is a patriarch and loves to have family and life around it.
Jupiter is the "loudest" planet. When the satellite Voyager passed Jupiter, all its meters and measurement devices went haywire due to the enormous amounts of electromagnetic noise that Jupiter exudes. Jupiter has a massive field of information around it that extends thousands of kilometers into the surrounding space. These Jupiter traits make the Jupiter person speak loudly, act confidently, love humor, and literally be "jovial" (the word jovial means "Jupiter-like"). The Jupiter person is, in general, an extroverted personality that loves to take up space.
Simultaneously, Jupiter is also full of "gas" and can "puff itself up," making itself appear larger or more substantial than it is.
Jupiter people are optimistic people who like to engage with others. They give a lot and expect a lot in return. Interchange has to be significant and meaningful.
Jupiter demands respect, and Jupiter people are very status aware.
