For the Life Path Number 7, often, your quest for answers seems only to produce more questions.
But isn’t that the basis of higher intelligence? Answering questions with questions until the truth is uncovered? Just as the physical Life Path 5 often places great stress on the body, the intellectual Life Path 7 stresses the mind beyond what it believes is its capacity. This will continue until you learn what needs to be learned about your particular mind. Your Life Path 7 mind must allow itself to expand so that it becomes so capacious - so open - that its boundaries do not press down on you and create physical pain. This state of ease can only come when you learn to accept the reality of every experience you have. It comes when you accept the imperfections that are in you as well as in other people. It comes when you do your learning in private, when you release your emotions in private, and when you accept the fact that you are actually a very sensitive and emotional person. You, of all people, experience great pain, great embarrassment, if you think you are being scrutinized or criticized publicly. There is so much that others do, quite openly, that you must do behind closed doors. Life Path 7’s are not generally known for being open-minded and, yet, that is what you have come into this life to achieve.
Having a Life Path Number 7, others may see you as a serious individual. The truth is that the only serious thing about you is your desire for respect, dignity, and truth. You prefer the company of those who are refined, educated, and tasteful, and your need for high quality is probably one of your better known characteristics. Life Path 7’s possess a certain “flashiness” and panache which could never be mistaken for gaudiness.
With a Life Path Number 7, although you often place yourself in “conservative” environments, you, yourself, answer to no clique, philosophy, or law, unless it is your own. With even the most foolish or undignified behavior to your discredit - yes, this too can occur on the 7 Life Path - you instinctively know that you are a wise soul who must dance to the beat of your own drum, your own mind, your own wisdom. You are a deep thinker, an excessive worrier, a clever planner and orchestrator, a keen investigator, a creative analyst, and an impressive problem-solver. In order to expand these gifts to their full potential, you must learn to be at peace within your own thoughts and feelings. Indeed, you must learn to tell the difference between your thoughts and your feelings. Much of your inner turmoil is caused by listening only to the mind and ignoring your feelings. Balance is achieved when your thoughts and feelings align and agree with each other. At this point, inner harmony is reached and solutions are found.
Paranoia is not an uncommon condition for a Life Path Number 7, Usually, though, the “Big Brother” you sense is always watching you is nothing more than your own feeling of fear which you have been too afraid to admit to. And what are you afraid of? Poverty is one of the monsters under your bed, and the thought of having to endure scandal and indignity is another. However, your ability to forge master plans, with no detail left to chance, can provide the inner security you need.
However, if your plans become plots and schemes, you place yourself in the vulnerable position of possibly being “caught”. Then, the paranoia starts all over again. There is always some form of intrigue in the life of a Life Path Number 7 because 7 is the number of secrets, conspiracies, and behind-the-scenes activities.
As an individual with a Life Path Number 7, you were never meant to live on the “edge”.
Having a Life Path Number 7, you were never meant to become involved in fast, loud, or chaotic activities or underhanded complicity. Your true potential cannot be realized in cold environments in which others are consumed by envy, aggression, or self sabotage. You need quiet and elegant surroundings in which you can think without interruption, admire quality, and soak up beauty and tranquility. You need calm and quiet, and you need inner peace, so that your remarkable power of intuition can be developed and strengthened. Your intuitive skills give you the ability to “sense” or “feel” your way through any situation, with unexpectedly positive results. Unexpectedly for others, that is. When you learn to master your inner voice - the voice of your feelings - positive results will come as no surprise to you.
While others sit perplexed and confused by a particular problem, with a Life Path Number 7, you can produce the right answer, as if by magic, in one intuitive flash. And once you have the solution, your intuition will take you inward and backward to show you how you arrived at it. Yours is the probing mind of the analyst and scientist who will not rest until a question is answered in full.
Having a Life Path Number 7, you are often afraid of your own thought process and of the depths to which you know your mind is capable of going. This means that you are afraid of your spirituality. And what exactly is your spirit? Spirit is your mind. It is your consciousness. You can become a master of spirituality, if you care to expand upon this potential and incorporate your WILL - the power of your emotions - into your personal equation. 7 is the number of science. 7 Is the number of knowledge and intelligence. Those on the Life Path 7 must learn to accept their emotions as natural. They must move away from the cold detachment which their unaddressed fear creates.
For some individuals with a Life Path Number 7, fear of what they may find has deterred the most brilliant minds from finding the solutions which will make this planet livable and safe. This makes the emotion of fear a challenge that neither they, or you, can afford to discount any longer. Do not be afraid to be afraid. Feel your fears. Then you will be able to discern those things which need to be feared from those which do not. Without this understanding, a Life Path 7 can live an entire lifetime in a state of worry, concern, or paranoia.
As an individual with a Life Path Number 7, you may think you are not a scientist, or you may think you are not a spiritual individual, but you cannot deny that you LOVE to delve into that mind of yours to see what it is trying to show you. But, oh, how you hate and fear the ordinary and the mundane. You can be a cruel critic at times, and can damage the feelings or even lose the love or friendship of others with that scathing tongue of yours.
Or, perhaps, you are one of those Life Path Number 7 individuals who does not confront others directly but waits until they are out of earshot before you tear them to shreds. Sorry, 7, but your tendency to criticize is one of your great imperfections. However, this can be rectified. First, you must acknowledge that you are, indeed, extremely critical of those you feel do not meet your high standards and tastes. Then you must realize that your standards and tastes, although perfectly natural for you, are not just higher than average; they are extraordinarily high, lavish, and uncompromising. There is no need to lower your standards because it is your nature to desire and seek perfection in all areas of your life. But you must realize that very few others will ever meet your high expectations, even if they desire to. An understanding of your “differentness” in this regard will help you to curb that critical tongue of yours. It will enable you to replace your inadvertent snobbery with a remarkable dignity and presence which exudes warmth, friendliness, serenity, confidence, intelligence, compassion, and poise. You are at your most beautiful and your most impressive when your knowledge is expressed with a little humility.
