7
A Life Path 7 person is a peaceful and affectionate soul, and by
nature rather reserved and analytical. The overwhelming strength of
the number 7 is reflected in the depth of thinking that is shown;
you will garner knowledge from practically every source that you
find. Intellectual, scientific and studious, you don't accept a
premise until you have dissected the subject and arrived at you own
independent conclusion. This is a very spiritual number and it
often denotes a sort of spiritual wisdom that becomes apparent at a
fairly early age. You need a good deal of quiet time to be with
your own inner thoughts and dreams. You dislike crowds, noise and
confusion. You are very thorough and complete in your work, the
perfectionist who expects everyone else to be a meet a high
standard of performance, too. You evaluate situations very quickly
and with amazing accuracy. You rely heavily on your experiences and
your intuition, rather than accepting advice from someone; your
hunches usually prove to be very accurate, and knowing this, you
are one who tends to follow the directions they seem to guide. It's
easy for you to detect deception and recognize insincere people.
You aren't one to have a wide circle of friends, but once you
accept someone as a friend, it's for life. You really aren't a very
social person, and your reserve is often taken to be aloofness.
Actually, it's not that at all, but merely a cover up for your
basic feeling of insecurity. You actually like being alone, away
from the hustle and bustle of modern life. In many ways, you would
have fit in better in much earlier times when the pace of life was
less hectic.
In the most negative use of the 7 energies, you can become very
pessimistic, lackadaisical, quarrelsome, and secretive. A Life Path
7 individual who is not living life fully and gaining through
experiences, is a hard person to live with because of a serious
lack of consideration and because there is such a negative
attitude. The negative 7 is very selfish and spoiled. If you have
any of the negative traits they are very difficult to get rid of
because you tend to feel that the world really does owe you a
living or in some way is not being fairly treated. Fortunately, the
negative 7 is not the typical 7, at least not without some
mitigating positive traits. This number is one that seems to have
some major shifts from highs to lows. Stability in feelings may be
elusive for you.
8
With the Life Path of the number 8 you are focused on learning the
satisfactions to be found in the material world. The Life Path 8
produces many powerful, confident and materially successful people.
You are apt to be very independent, forceful and competitive. Your
routine is involved in practical, down-to-earth affairs, and there
is relatively little time for dreams and visions. You will want to
use your ambitions, your organizational ability, and your efficient
approach to carve a satisfying niche for yourself. Most of your
concerns involve money and learning of the power that comes with
its proper manipulation. This Life Path is perhaps the one that is
the most concerned with and desirous of status, as an accompaniment
to material success. If you are a positive 8 you are endowed with
tremendous potential for conceiving far-reaching schemes and ideas,
and also possessing the tenacity and independence to follow them
through to completion. In short, you are well-equipped for
competition in the business world or in other competitive fields of
endeavor. You know how to manage yourself and your environment. You
are practical and steady in your pursuit of major objectives, and
you have the courage of your convictions when it comes to taking
the necessary chances to get ahead.
The negative 8 can be dictatorial and often suppresses the
enthusiasm and efforts of fellow member of the environment. Often,
the strength of their own personality excludes close feelings for
other people with whom they come in contact. Material gains and
rewards often become issues of utmost importance, even to the
neglect of family, home and peace of mind. Dedication to success
can become an obsession. Emotional feelings are often suppressed by
the negative 8, resulting in isolation and loneliness. All Life
Path 8 people must avoid discounting the opinions of others.
9
The keys to the nature of a Life Path number 9 person are
compassion, generosity, and a very humanitarian attitude. This is
the lesson that must be learned in this life. Usually this number
produces an individual that is very trustworthy and honorable, and
one unlikely to harbor any sort of prejudice. Obviously, this is a
rather tall order, but you are, in fact, a person that feels very
deeply for individuals less fortunate than yourself, and if you are
in a position to help, you certainly will. You tend to be quite
sensitive, as you see the world with much feeling and compassion.
The 9, being the highest of the single digit numbers, holds an
elevated position and poses certain responsibilities. The purpose
of life for those with a 9 life path is of a philosophical nature.
Judges, spiritual leaders, healers and educators frequently have
much 9 energy. Material gains are not overly important, although
the quality of some life path 9 people is such that they are
materially rewarded in very significant ways. Often, the number 9
life path requires a very selfless attitude and the giving up of
material possessions for the common good. Even the very average of
those with life path 9 possess extremely compassionate tendencies.
The desire to help others, especially the troubled or
underprivileged, is strong. You are apt to frequently find yourself
being used and let down by others, as your generosity is misused
and abused.
The number 9's very deep understanding of life is sometimes
manifested in the artistic and literary fields. Here you may be
able to express your deep emotional feelings through painting,
writing, music, or other art forms. Often, however, there if a
great deal of difficulty finding a suitable outlet for the 9 Life
Path. The 9 is usually well suited to the helping and healing
professions; the number is less inclined to the competitive
business environment.
You have the ability to make friends very easily, as people are
attracted to your magnetic, open personality. You have a special
gift of understanding people, which if used correctly can be of
great benefit to others. Your interest in people tends to make you
quite social. People just naturally like you because you are so
sympathetic, tolerant and broad-minded. In many ways, you are a
romantic that can get lost in your loves and passions.
Relationships can be difficult for you, however, because it is hard
to strike a balance that will work effectively. If your partner is
one sharing your giving attitudes, the relationship will be happy
and lasting. On the other hand, if you choose a partner whose focus
is on material issues, problems will arise quickly.
As do all the life path numbers, the 9 has its negative side, and
because of the demanding nature of the truly positive 9, many tend
to fail in this category. It is not uncommon for persons with the 9
life path to fight the realities and challenges of purpose imposed
here because selflessness is not an easy trait. You may have
difficulty believing that giving and a lack of personal ambition
can be satisfying. It must be realized and accepted that little
long-term satisfaction and happiness is to be gained by rejecting
the natural humanitarian inclinations of this path.
