~first~, when the 6 and 7 team up, we often find discord during the childhood and teenage years. (Your 6 is based on the Master number 33, which we will discuss in more depth a couple of chapters further down.)

The warm, loving, people-oriented 6 Heart's Desire (which is harmonious by nature) can become frustrated by the almost opposite, introverted and secretive 7 Expression. However, once a level of maturity has been reached, the numbers have the potential to become each other's greatest supporter.

As you learn to balance these differing aspects of your make-up, they will begin to supplement each other. Your scholarly, intellectual, thoughtful 7 Expression will protect the somewhat gullible 6 from being taken advantage of. In trade, the often shy and lonely 7 will benefit from the warm, jovial, outgoing 6.

Your Heart's Desire number reveals what makes you truly happy and determines your likes and dislikes. A 6 in this position suggests a love of home, family, and community. Your Expression number describes your talents, abilities and shortcomings. It is the number most important in determining which career suits you best. A 7 indicates the fields of education, science or medicine could be complementary. You might also be drawn to the arts by your 6 Heart's Desire. The 6 is a creative and particularly visual number.

In addition to these 2 core numbers, you have a 1 Personality. Your Personality is the part of your character others notice when they first meet you. It reflects the "outer" you. Your 1 Personality emanates a driven, ambitious, forceful energy, one unafraid of confrontation. The goal-oriented, leadership abilities of the 1 will be helpful in almost any career.

However, in order to become successful, you will need to overcome the forever doubting and questioning 7 Expression. In fact, your potential to succeed in all areas of life, professional or personal, are often affected by your tendency to over-think. For that reason, try to strengthen your impulsive, intuitive side. Trust your instinct as much as you trust your rational mind. You should also learn to tout yourself and your accomplishments, as the 7 is not naturally self-promoting.

You have a lively imagination, you think in the abstract better than most, and you have the heart of philosopher. The 7 is spiritual or philosophical in an unconventional way. The older you get, this part of you will likely demand more attention. A 7 in this position suggests you need solitude and quiet, however this goes against the grain of your 6 Heart's Desire. Look for a balance that honors both. You might consider looking into yoga, meditation, or similar practices that focus on finding your center.

In your personal life, you will generally be attracted to the quiet, shy types. You are quick to sacrifice your time and energy, and you are generous - sometimes to a fault. Guard against being taken advantage of.

The 7 Expression can make you a little eccentric, even socially awkward. You are probably rarely aware when someone is interested in you. This may cause you to miss opportunities. The outward expression of romance is probably not your strongest suit, but long-term commitment is. Your heart is easily touched, so use the skeptical 7 to question your relationship choices and ensure you choose well.

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