floatingleafHappy Birthday, geale01! Whether you see this post or not, I wish you a wonderful day...
I was just going through my old emails, and I found this. Some numerical horoscope ganked from a coworker a long time ago. Basically, you find out your number by adding together all the digits comprising your birth date. So, for example, if my birth date is 3/04/1971 (or 4/03/1971, put down the European way), the total is 25. Then you add the digits together again, and come up with 7. That's my "Life Path" number. Which also happens to be my favorite number (silly, I know, but I like some numbers more than others - not necessarily the ones which are considered "lucky" by the general population; it's purely subjective, and I couldn't for the life of me explain the reasons behind it). And here's the description:
The Life Path 7 suggests that you entered this plane with a gift for investigation, analysis, and keen observation. You are a thinker of the first order. You evaluate situations very quickly, and with amazing accuracy. As a result, you are thorough and complete in your work, the perfectionist who expects everyone else to meet a high standard of performance, too.
A Life Path 7 person is a peaceful and affectionate soul. But you guard your connection to people carefully. It's easy for you to detect deception and recognize insincere people, and you avoid them. You aren't one to have a wide circle of friends, but once you accept someone as a friend, it's for life. It's as if you must get to know someone a lot better before you allow the wall surrounding you to be penetrated. Chances are you are a very charming and refined individual with great poise and a quick wit. Nonetheless, there is an exclusiveness about you. You probably aren't a very social person. Your reserve is often taken to be aloofness, but actually, it's not that at all. It is merely a cover up for your basic feeling of insecurity. There's no rush, It takes time for you to warm up to new friends. Clubs and organizations hold little interest for you; you are not a joiner.
You actually like being alone and away from the hustle and bustle of modern life. In many ways, you would have fit in better in much earlier times when the pace of life was less hectic. You need a good deal of quiet time to be with your own inner thoughts and dreams. You dislike crowds, noise, distractions, and confusion.
The overwhelming strength of the number 7 is reflected in the depth of thinking that is shown; you will garner knowledge from practically every source that you find. Intellectual, scientific, and studious, you don't accept a premise until you have dissected the subject and arrived at your own independent conclusion.
This is a very spiritual number and it often denotes a sort of spiritual wisdom that becomes apparent at a fairly early age. A built in inner guide providing a strong sense of intuition may set you up as being a law unto yourself. Whatever spiritual position you take, whether traditional or bizarre, you will cling to it with fervor. Once you have decided an issue, it is almost impossible to get you to revisit the question. Adaptability is not your style, and change for you is a rarity.
You rely heavily on your experiences and your intuition, rather than accepting advice from someone. Your hunches usually prove to be very accurate, and knowing this, you follow the directions they seem to guide.
In the most negative use of the 7 energies, you can become very pessimistic, lackadaisical, quarrelsome, and secretive. A Life Path 7 individual who is not living life fully and gaining through experiences, is a hard person to live with because of a serious lack of consideration for others. There is such a negative attitude. Indeed, operating on the negative side of the 7 can produce a very selfish and spoiled individual and living with one can be a challenge. This may be why some 7s actually prefer living alone. If you have any of the negative traits they are very difficult to get rid of because you tend to feel that the world really does owe you a living or that in some way you are not being fairly treated.
Fortunately, the negative 7 is not the typical 7, at least not without some mitigating positive traits. This number is one that seems to have some major shifts from highs to lows. Stability in feelings may be elusive for you.
I wouldn't have bothered saving or reposting it if it wasn't so stunningly accurate. I mean... seriously. Both the positive and the negative aspects. Everyone's greatest strenghts can be "corrupted" into greatest weaknesses, depending on their life circumstances and other factors. For me, it's the back-and-forth between absolute empathy and complete, shut-out-the-world self-absorption. I will cry my eyes out over the plight of a fictional character I identify with, but I will not pick up the phone if I don't feel like dealing with humanity at any given moment. I have been called cold and unfeeling, as well as overly sensitive and emotional. I guess, in a weird way, I am both. Which end of the spectrum you get to see depends mostly on how close we are - because yes, I take my sweet time to warm up to people, and the abovementioned "reserve taken to be aloofness" is the bane of my existence. Conversely, once I do "warm up" to you and consider you a friend, you might suddenly want to run away, because I will dump my deepest emotional problems on you and appoint you my personal shrink.;) (I AM willing to return the favor, though.)
I like to think I can be considered "charming and refined" at close acquaintance; but "selfish and spoiled" is also a very apt description, if I am being honest with myself. I can be demanding of (the special few) people who have gone past all my barriers. Negotiating a romantic relationship, for example - or rather feeling like it's "worth the effort" - can be so difficult for me that I really think I'm better off alone. Most of the time, anyway.
As for my "high standards of performance", that's just a nice way of saying I can be terribly anal-retentive about some little, insignificant details (while failing to see the bigger picture much of the time, LOL). Example? I get way too upset over some fanfic authors' disregard for spelling and grammar. I am just reading this really good story that could use some serious editing - I mean, I like the plot, and the characters are really complex and believable - but I almost stopped reading several times because of stupid mistakes like, you know, lack of proper punctuation. It just makes me want to tear my hair out.:D
Oh, and I am not so sure about my "spiritual wisdom" - but I definitely tend to dissect and mull over all the information available on the subject, instead of just accepting someone's word as the ultimate truth. I am very much "a law unto myself" when it comes to spiritual beliefs. Which I guess is what has kept me from adopting any particular ideology...
And yes, I'd rather trust my intuition than take someone's advice. I certainly avoid people who offer advice I haven't asked for.:P For the same reason, I don't tend to give advice to people unless they ask for it - which is sometimes taken as lack of interest in their problems. I just don't see myself as a great advice-giver, because everyone is different, and everyone knows (or should know) best what works in their particular situation. On the other hand, if I do ask for your advice, it means I really trust you a lot (still doesn't mean I'll necessarily follow it, though!...:D).
Also, this: You dislike crowds, noise, distractions, and confusion. OMG yes. That's me, in a nutshell. Whenever everybody else runs around all excited about the next big thing, I tend to pull a blanket over my head and wait for the mayhem to subside. The latest Hollywood blockbuster? Couldn't care less. MAYBE I'll consider seeing it a few years later, after it's long stopped being a sensation and time has told whether it's actually any good (most likely, it isn't, anyway). The newest technological gadget? Forget it. I am still getting used to my old one that I've had for the past 5 years.:D The concert of that legendary rock band that I love?... Hmmm... maybe. But if their music is on the noisy/aggressive side, I'll probably just stick to listening to it at home, at my own preferred volume. I don't fancy being whacked in the ribs by someone's elbow while jumping to the tune. Taking public transport every day is enough of an exercise in close human contact for me, thank you very much. *snicker*
But yes, sometimes I will dance wildly to favorite music - at home, by myself, when no-one can see. In most cases, I suspect that going to a concert would be too stressful for me - because of crowds and noise levels - to actually be able to fully enjoy the music. Sad but true... *sigh*
Speaking of music - I am on an mp3 shopping spree again. I just realized I don't have a digital playlist of Depeche Mode, which is a serious oversight.:) I only have some random tracks on old cassette tapes that I used to play in my car. And for some reason, Depeche Mode really fits my mood at the moment. So I am plowing through the dozens of their albums available for download at Soundike.com.:) I am guessing The Cure will be next. There's nothing like a good old sentimental journey...;D
