In a universe in which quantum mechanics seems spooky perhaps numbers are less so...
The number 17 is a highly spiritual number and has been expressed by the Ancient Chaldeans as the 8 Pointed Star of Venus. It is the Star of Love and Peace and promises a 17 person the will to rise superior in spirit to the trials and difficulties of earlier life. Many who come under these energies have extremely high psychic and clairvoyant abilities.

Rikku is right. What you don't notice is how many times an hour you look at your watch and it's not on 17. The mileage of your car? The same. You'll glance down to check your speed and you happen to see the mileage too, but, if it doesn't have 17 in it, you ignore it.
Your subconscious is waiting for that number and you happen to notice it, because you're looking for it.

I go through periods of seeing repeating numbers, the 11:11 thing.... I consider that just a way my subconscious is trying to "speak" to me.
But I have also had a number follow me throughout life in a wierd way - the number 12. My birthdate, telephone numbers and addresses have always been with 12 in them, or adding up to twelve. It doesn't even surprise me anymore, it is just expected now. No idea why or what that means, but it is funny.

17 comes up quite a bit in my sons' life.
My messages come when the clocks decide to stop. Recently, I have seen twice in 2 separate locations clocks stuck at 3:58.

That does not sound crazy at all. It is your view of a certain number appearing repeatedly in your life and you are entitled to it.
With that being said, i think it is just that you are paying more attention when 17 appears somewhere, and let other numbers pass by with no meaning or repeating.

Good Day,
The number for me has always been 8 & 10 in everything, literally. I see the number 17 also adds up to 8.
A thought provoking thread glad you posted.
Peace!

Number 17 in some instances represents the Archangel Michael.
Are you religious at all?

Ever notice the reverse of the number 71. Or pay attention to its double 34 or triple 51.
The root is 8, so any of these numbers make an appearance?
08
17
26
35
44
53
62
71
80
Lots to ponder, Now you can be assured any number is significant. You can look at the numerology all you want but it will leave you chasing your tail.
My number was 37, still is I guess. But I stopped obsession after I realized the above, that I could find significant in any number of ways
37 was passed on to me from a friend who told me like you, every time he looks at the clock its :37. What are the odds that the whole year he and I couldn't help but see it in everything we did. Maybe because we were having fun and wanted it to be significant.
37 is special for me now because of the memories I have with my friend. so maybe that was the purpose of it, to have something unique to bond with a friend over the years. We still point it out when were together.
Now, Mathematically the number 37 rocks and I can show you a few things if you want to see 37 in action.
you should try to figure out what you need to be doing with it. Pay attention to things you think about or things that happen just before seeing it

My view is that numbers and mathematics are a fully man-made concept. An agreement that something plus something adds up to something and so on. Therefore, there is no deeper meaning to any number. Of course people can give certain numbers significance, like 88, 666 or 420.
