HOW HER NAME NUMBERS STACK UP

Her Expression number is 7. The idealistic, intellectual, contemplative and often shy 7 stands apart from all other single-digit numbers in one very important way. The 7 is a potential gateway to the fulfillment and wisdom that Kabir, Gurdjieff, and other masters talked and sang about. It is the seeker. It does not take anything at face value, and never gives up on the big questions, "Who am I? Why am I here?" This may come as a surprise to her, because this most spiritual/philosophical of numbers is flanked by two very different influences, the 8 Heart's Desire and 8 Personality. This is like a hermit having Donald Trump and Gordon Gecko as neighbors - except all three exist within her.

The 7 and 8 have nothing in common, but they will compete for her attention throughout her life. Her 8 Heart's Desire gives her drive, ambition, and a good sense of business. She is authoritative and does not step aside for anyone. Unlike the 1, she is not necessarily stubborn, but she is dogged and determined when it comes to reaching her goals. This outgoing, forceful number also appears as her "outer" Personality number and largely obscures the serious, inquisitive idealism of her 7, a number that is not at all ambitious. Her challenge is to reconcile the obvious contradictions in this combination. Understanding the position each number holds in her chart can help.

The Expression is part of a blueprint; it lays out the ground rules, sets limitations, and determines the function and form of her life ahead. It describes her talents, abilities, and shortcomings, particularly in the way they affect her career and productive life. The 7 in this position is contemplative, analytical, and somewhat solitary. It suggests she needs to learn from life as well as from books. Her goal is to attain insight and understanding, and to become a beacon of light for others, without becoming dogmatic or burdened by religious concepts.

Her 8 Heart's Desire is a good balance to the internal nature of the 7. More than any other number, the 8 has a pragmatic, results-oriented attitude. It pursues big goals and needs to be in charge. Be mindful, however, not to allow her dynamic 8 energy to overshadow her inquisitive 7, or she might be tempted to surrender to the capitalistic, dog-eat-dog mentality of an Ayn Rand disciple. Ignoring the needs of her 7 Expression will be detrimental. If she is unable to balance these opposing influences, she may find success financially or in other ways, but she is unlikely to find happiness and fulfillment. 

The emptiness resulting from an unfulfilled 7 drains gratitude and joy like a vacuum. It is therefore crucial that she finds a balance. She should devote a fair amount of her time and energy to the mystery of life, in study and contemplation, but this will not be an easy thing to do, when that 7 is flanked by two gung-ho 8's.

In her personal life, romance and long-term commitment are possible, especially if she finds a partner with upbeat, dynamic numbers. Someone who does not take things too seriously would be a good fit. A partner with a 3 (upbeat and creative, with a sense of humor) and/or a 5 (dynamic, adventurous, versatile) could soften the sharp angles of her 8 and uplift the serious 7.

She should probably marry or commit to a relationship later in life, preferable after age 30. This would give the 7 and 8 time to find a comfortable balance.

SHE HAS A 7 EXPRESSION

A person with a 7 Expression is gifted with an analytical mind and an enormous appetite for the answers to life's hidden questions. She has a strong interest in exploring scientific matters, philosophy, and even mysticism. She possesses clarity and persistence in her search for truth. She can be a great researcher, educator, and philosopher. She is driven by a desire for knowledge and truth. She must learn to discriminate between illusion and reality and is well equipped for this task. Her fine mind offers her insight into the veiled mysteries of life. She also possesses a considerable amount of perspective. Somewhere inside her, she is aware of a peaceful place that she calls upon during difficult times.

This person needs time to be by herself. Too much social interaction causes her stress. She needs her privacy and a place that can be shut off from the hustle and bustle of life. She tends to keep her thoughts to herself and is secretive. Unless her 7 expression is balanced by extrovert characteristics, her introversion may pull her deeply within herself, even cutting her off from others.

She has a strong dislike of the superficial and mundane and is often surprised by the lack of understanding or depth of knowledge of others, many of whom do not take the search for knowledge as seriously as she does. This can cause her to be critical of others, and even cynical about life in general. The more cut off from others she becomes, the more hidden are her motives. Once she develops understanding of people and life, her advice and counsel will be sought by those around her who need her wisdom.

She loves to specialize her knowledge and develop great depth within her field. She is a perfectionist. She should complete her studies early in life and not be driven too hard by a desire to be successful. She should let things come at their own pace, be open to opportunity, and remember her rewards, satisfaction, and contentment come from a higher source.

Sevens can be distant and aloof. When dominated by their darker characteristics, they can be unfaithful, dishonest, and cruel. Contemplation, meditation, and the softer, finer vibrations of life can restore her sense of harmony and keep her on the path to peace and balance.

She has a logical mind. Her analytical skills cause her to approach a problem in a detached, surgical kind of way. Researchers, analysts, investigators, inventors, technicians, scholars, lawyers, bankers, watchmakers, priests, philosophers, theologians, and administrators in some scientific or technical field are among the vocations 7s are drawn to.

HER HEART'S DESIRE AND PERSONALITY ARE BOTH 8

She wants success in its fullest meaning - wealth, power, and material comforts. She has an enormous ambition. She dreams of big projects, great undertakings, and rewards. She is a visionary. She sees the horizon and the promise. In general, she also sees the methods necessary to fulfill that promise. But she is not especially good with details; she needs others to help her deal with the smaller parts of the picture.

Her challenge is to make use of the full spectrum of her abilities, as indicated by her other core numbers. In the same way, she must bring forth the best from others and orchestrate their talents toward the realization of her vision. In short, she must lead by example, demonstrating the standard for commitment, determination, and excellence.

All of this requires effort on her part. She will meet with obstacles and difficulties. Her determination and commitment will be tested. But she has the power to overcome every obstacle she faces and accomplish the goal she is set for herself.

Her task in life is to learn to use power in refined and elevated ways. The expression and use of power is directly related to one's personal evolution. The more primitive uses of power rest with violence and the threat of deprivation. The higher expressions depend upon her capacity to care for and nourish the people and projects in her charge, giving each precisely what is needed at the appropriate time and in appropriate amounts.

She has a creative mind and an unusual approach to business and problem-solving. She needs to cultivate her ability to evaluate others. It is essential for her to be involved in a project that challenges her and offers the potential for rewards. When she is uninvolved or unoccupied with a worthwhile task, she can become deeply despondent, depressed, and frustrated. She is the perfect example of the old saying, "Idle hands are the devils workshop." Without a challenge, she can lose balance in life and become selfish, cruel, and even self-destructive. Disappointments become shattering, causing terrible consequences in self-image and self-love. Perspective is everything for her. She has a natural talent for balancing the spiritual and material planes.

She needs to cultivate courage and stamina. Courage is a choice. She needs to decide to be brave in the face of fear. A balanced 8 is among the most powerful and satisfying of numbers. It is the spirit of the true survivor, able to bounce back and achieve a greater victory.
