Astrologically linked to Venus, the Goddess of Mysteries, seven is the number of mysticism. Sevens tend to be one-step removed from the world and are the natural philosophers, mystics and poets. Seven is also the number of music and are often naturally gifted in this area. Whether playing an instrument or singing or simply listening music will be important to you. Sevens are thinkers and can sometimes be seen as un-worldly or absent-minded by others. Sevens tend to be introspective and intuitive, they tend to look inwards. This can sometimes make for a lonely lifestyle and there can be a tendency to become reclusive.
You have a natural ability to “tune into” and understand the natural laws of nature and the Universe. Try to see yourself as an objective observer. You can be the lynchpin drawing together those subtle influences that allow yourself and others to grow. You like to be alone, but not lonely and you love the simple things in life.
Although you can appear to be quietly confident, there is often a raging inferno inside, waiting to explode!
You have a tendency to be deeply sensitive and there can a tendency to take things “too much to heart” and to hold on to past hurts!
It is important to you to have quiet time to yourself to maintain your link with the divine and to think about where you really want to go in life and what you really want to do with your time. You probably have excellent teaching abilities, especially in philosophical areas. This makes you ideally suited to “alternative teaching methods” such as Montessori or Steiner.
Careerwise you would do well in the fields of science, art, dancing and academics.
Seven is also the number of the Tarot and you may find you have a natural ability to use these as a method of divination.
When Sevens “let their hair down” it is often as an exceptional musician, artist or dancer.
