~first~, your Expression and Heart's Desire number is 7, and your Personality number is 9 - all odd numbers. People with odd numbers tend to be dreamers and idealists. However, this does not lessen their potential to make great things happen or keep them from becoming successful and happy.

You may experience awkwardness during your childhood; the 7 can seem a little different from other kids. You were probably shy and thoughtful. Even today, your intelligence likely takes a different path from most people. Both the 7 and the 9 rely on abstract, intuitive methods. You are more liable to take detours and explore esoteric philosophies and fantasies. You are a mental surrealist. You are hungry for knowledge, but do not always learn through conventional methods.

The two numbers differ in other areas as well. Although your 9 Personality can make you seem aloof and distant, it is perfectly capable of working with large groups of people. It can even be a good motivator or educator. Politicians, lawyers, and public speakers often carry the 9 in this position. The shy, introverted 7 prefers a smaller environment, and one that is less public.

Both your 7 Expression and 7 Heart's Desire are inward focused and may be somewhat awkward socially. The 7 is highly intelligent and a good abstract and intuitive thinker. The main difference between them is the 7 usually prefers to work (and often live) alone. It enjoys a solitary environment. This does not suit the 9; although it may appear a little distant, the 9 is not a loner at all.

In spite of their differences, there are areas where the 7 and 9 dovetail nicely. Although social skills are probably not your strongest asset, both numbers manage to draw people into your circle. You likely prefer the fringe element to those who keep to the middle. Associating with eccentrics and people taking the road less traveled works for both the 7 and the 9. Additionally, the 9 has tolerance and empathy for all cultures and walks of life.

Bringing the attributes of the 7 and 9 into harmony may be a challenge, but it offers very interesting career possibilities. Many people who have a 9 among their name numbers focus on helping others. They are often involved with non-profit community or global concerns, such as humanitarian or environmental programs. This satisfies the intellectual 7 as well. Neither influence is likely to choose a job that requires interacting with people for business purposes, such as retail or real estate. The arts would please the 9. This could include architecture, fashion or interior design, and creative professions that rely heavily on spatial perspective or combining materials and color.

Regardless of the career path you choose, it will probably be a little offbeat. You might be drawn to religion, metaphysics, medicine, art, or psychology (particularly if it is clinical or research oriented).

Romance may be an awkward pursuit for you; you probably prefer to connect more on an intellectual level. Chances are you rarely notice when someone is interested in you, even if that person has been close to you for some time. You are loyal and able to commit, but the basis needs to be intellectual. Ideally, there should also be a shared connection regarding spiritual, metaphysical, or ethical concerns.

Now let's look at each of your core numbers individually.
