Your Expression and Personality numbers are both 7, and your Heart's Desire number is 9. This combination has great potential, but it carries equally large demands.

The influences can create a socially awkward, somewhat eccentric nature, and the kind of intelligence not always appreciated by others. There may be times you find yourself saying, "I was just kidding," because it is not always clear to others whether you are joking or serious.

In spite of this, you take life and its mysteries seriously. Your skepticism is a healthy and fitting part of your makeup; you likely question everything. However, you should be cautious of becoming sarcastic or cynical.

Your 9 Heart's Desire is a favorable addition for more than one reason. Although it can be a somewhat aloof number that observes rather than interacts, it is considerably more social than the 7. More importantly, the 9 has an impressive and often aristocratic aura, which helps to make up for the reserved 7.

Both the 7 and 9 are idealistic, although in different ways. The 7's idealism is directed toward the inner realm and the pursuit of knowledge. The 9 is focused on global issues such as climate change or humanitarian relief efforts.

The 9 is your Heart's Desire number. It reflects your likes and dislikes and reveals what makes you truly happy. A 9 in this position indicates you are happiest when working with and helping people, especially people from other cultures. You relate easily to people from all lifestyles and customs. You may consider yourself a citizen of the world more than a citizen of your own country. The 9 is the humanitarian, giving without reward. It is caring and sacrificing, the statesperson and philosopher. Because it is your Heart's Desire number, the traits of the 9 must be honored to become truly happy and fulfilled.

A challenge in the 7/9 combination is their shared inability to get things off the ground. You have a vivid imagination and you dream big, but your dreams may not always be realistic. There is a risk of devoting too much time and energy trying to make lead balloons fly. Be open and listen to your friends and family - allow their practical advice to guide you. At the same time, don't let others destroy your aspirations. Follow your dreams but strive to differentiate the possible from the impossible.

Your personal life has a different set of challenges, ~first~, but most of them take place during your childhood and teenage years. Your unique personality can make you stand out as somewhat different, and you may often find yourself alone. Loneliness is the burden of a 7 unfulfilled. This is another reason to work toward fulfilling the deep inner needs of this number. Doing so can create true contentment.

Because most societies do not value the unconventional, inquisitive seeker, your path may feel particularly solitary. This does not pertain to love or romance, but in finding the spiritual/inner footing the 7 cannot do without. One of the attributes specific to someone with a 7 is that as long as they seek knowledge, they grow. Therefore, 7s tend to become happier and more content with age.
