Numbers describe tendencies in a symbolic tradition. They cannot decide health, money, law, marriage or children.

About this number

Two steps are needed here: 1 plus 9 is 10, and 1 plus 0 is 1. Only one other date, the 28th, takes that double reduction. Clement counts the 19th among the Ones and marks it C minor, the darker partner of the C major given to the 1st.

Westcott's entry is about astronomy. Nineteen years is the Metonic cycle, after which the phases of the moon return to the same days of the solar year, a period named for the Athenian Meton. Sepharial's list for name totals is unkind and begins with foolishness. Meanwhile Cheasley's self-reliance belongs to the digit 1, with no comment from him on this date.
