~first~ and ~second~, your compatibility in this area of the chart is unpredictable. Some relationships between a 1 (~second~) and 7 (~first~) thrive, while others hardly stand a chance. The initial connection in this combination is usually intellectual - on a level where you relate and have plenty to share. ~second~'s brazen attitude toward traditional concepts, a willingness to get off the beaten path, and an open and unconventional mind makes for a great intellectual partnership with ~first~. ~first~ likely realized at an early age that they were "different" in some way. The 7 is an intensely curious number, challenging things others take for granted. It upends old concepts and understands the complexities underlying conventions the rest of us accept as the norm. 

Although your attitudes differ in the way you approach life - ~second~ in a more confrontational way and (~first~) in a more introspective manner, you are both happy to venture into new, strange, or unknown intellectual and spiritual territories. Both free thinkers, your differing perspectives create a spicy, captivating relationship. 

It is in matters of the heart, feelings, and emotions where you might encounter trouble spots. Neither of you is eager to expose your inner self. You are both private, sensitive, and vulnerable and do not wear your heart on your sleeve. You, ~second~, because you recognize strength and endurance as your in-born assets, and ~first~ because you are comfortable keeping some distance from others. 

The quality needed to help your relationship grow on the deepest level is emotional courage. Allow yourself to be open, sensitive, receptive, and vulnerable. This requires faith in your partner but, more importantly, faith in yourself. 

Both of you, but particularly ~first~, may be tempted to go the other way, becoming cynical and unreachable. Watch out! The consequences of such a shift can be seen in the trail of broken relationships.
