Post #5

The validity of astrology was one of the many sections I have looked at in my science course that I am currently taking at university. It was also the start of a conversation that I had with my best friend yesterday, who I will refer to for the time being as –> RG

I have always wondered about astrology and its connection to my life. I would not say that I am a believer but I would also not say that I am a skeptic. I am more a neutral person. However, one idea that came up in my science class was the notion around how we take astrology’s claims and ‘fit’ them into our lives and make sense of them by doing so. When I spoke about this to RG he did not completely agree with me on this and threw a book on the table that I was sitting at. The book was all about his astrological sign Scorpio for the months of Jan, Feb and Mar. Now, RG and I have been friends for just over a decade now so I can honestly and 100% say that I know him pretty well and I don’t think he would disagree with me on that statement.

Anyways, I began to read the book and WOW I was blown away. This book was describing him as if it was written about him. I wanted to swallow my words but instead I thought for a moment. He was as shocked as I was. I was now very curious to see how accurate my book would be and what it would say. Needless to say, on my way to work today I stopped off at Shoppers to see if I could get a hold of one. Nope…that didn’t happen and the guy at the checkout gave me a really weird look…but whatever. So I am still curious and now on the hunt.

Then I remembered that I had my lifepath number. This is a number that you get when you add up all the numbers in your birth date, so for example my lifepath number is 7 because I was born on March 30, 1981 and to get my lifepath number you go like this: March = 3 then 3 + 0 + 1 + 9 + 8 + 1 = 25 = 2 + 5 = 7

I got this from the movie Number 23 –> excellent movie BTW

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. I agree and disagree with this paragraph.

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. This sounds very much like me.

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. Agreed.

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 paragraph I would agree with as I am very much a thinker. I try to take in as much as possible from every aspect and I adsorb the info.

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. I would disagree with this above section as I am very adaptable and love change. I am not overly spiritual however.

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 series lack of consideration of 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.

So there you have it….what do you think?

RG also asked me a very interesting question while I was with him and I told him that I would put my response into a post. That post is currently under construction and will be done shortly. The question was…

“What do I look for in a potential partner?”

Until next time,
