Weaknesses

Thinking everything through and analyzing every possible outcome can lead 7s to disappointment if things don’t turn out as expected. Unfortunately, even if we meticulously plan out everything, sometimes things that we couldn’t have predicted happen and throw our plans off course. When things don’t go their way or people don’t behave as they expected, Number 7s can sometimes become quite irritable and impatient.^{[9]

Sometimes a Number 7 will get a bit too lost in their thoughts and spiral down a path that’s a bit darker. While pondering the universe’s biggest questions can be entertaining, they can sometimes lead to thoughts that highlight the less appealing aspects of human nature. Because of this, a Number 7 can quickly become cynical and fall into a spiral of negative thoughts.^{[10]

Research source}
Their tendency to analyze situations to a very deep degree can sometimes lead to over-analyzing things. Even when there’s no deeper meaning to be found, a Number 7 will keep digging and digging to get to the root of whatever it is they’re looking into. This can cause them to be skeptical when they don’t find what they’re looking for, and they may think that someone is hiding some ulterior motive. This can drive people away, since they’ll feel like the Number 7 in their life doesn’t fully trust them.^{[11]

A Number 7 and a Number 1 are a wildcard pair. Number 1s are the leader type and very independent. Both Number 7 and 1 are intellectuals who aren’t afraid to ask big questions, and so will be good for each other when it comes to finding someone to match minds with. However, they’re both pretty reserved when it comes to divulging matters of the heart. So if they want to make it, it’s important that they work on their communication and open up to one another.^{[14]

Number 7 and Number 2 are a solid pair if they show interest in each other. Number 2s are very intuitive and sensitive, while 7s are more driven by intelligence and clinical research. They aren’t the most likely of pairs, but they’ll have a solid partnership if they do end up expressing interest in one another. There’ll be a lot of challenges to overcome at the beginning due to drastically different ways of thinking, but if they can surpass that, then they’ll have one of the strongest relationships.^{[15]

- It’s more likely that a Number 7 and a Number 2 will be friends for many years before anything romantic might happen.
A Number 7 and a Number 3 are usually best as friends. Number 3s are fun-loving entertainers who thrive off of creativity, while Number 7s tend to be much more serious and logical. Romantically, they’re not as likely to work out (though, if they work to create a spark, anything's possible!), but a 7 and a 3 are sure to be the best of friends. When a Number 7 gets too lost in their own thoughts, Number 3 will always be there to pull them out and share their happiness. Meanwhile, Number 7 can offer Number 3 a look into the more serious side of life, opening their eyes to a new type of beauty and showing them all of the possibilities that exist out in the world.^{[16]

The two express love in very different ways, with Number 6 needing a physical and emotional connection while Number 7 relies more on an intellectual bond. They might not always understand one another’s personalities, but their friendship or relationship can still persevere. They may experience occasional doubts, but accepting and understanding one another’s differences is the first step in making this relationship work.^{[19]
X
Research source}
This relationship holds the promise of immense spiritual and intellectual growth. Oftentimes, it's a connection that’s more focused on the heart and soul rather than a physical connection. They just need to respect one another’s need for space and avoid over-analyzing their partner’s behavior. If they can do that, then their relationship is golden.^{[20]

Number 8 is driven by financial success and security, and Number 7 is often more interested in intelligence and knowledge over material goods. Number 8 is also more likely to go to loud social gatherings while Number 7 is fine with just chilling at home for a good portion of their week. Overall, they usually don’t have much in common when it comes to personalities or priorities, so a connection between these two doesn't always come easily. But with hard work and understanding, a fulfilling connection is always possible.^{[21]

Number 9 is most concerned with looking at the bigger picture, while Number 7 likes to analyze the smaller details. They can make small talk and discuss things on a surface level, but you can expect lots of awkward silences to fall between them when trying to move on to topics that are more meaningful to each of them. But there’s no contempt in their relationship either, so if a Number 7 and Number 9 do become a couple (and they find some passion), then it's likely to be smooth sailing.^{[22]

Life Path Numbers are calculated by reducing the numbers in one’s birth date. To calculate your Life Path Number, you would take your date of your birth and add the month, day, and year and reduce them until you get a single digit. “Reducing” means adding the two digits of a double-digit number together until they yield a single-digit number. First, start by reducing the month, day, and year to a single digit each. Next, add those three numbers together. Lastly, reduce the final sum until you get a single number. So reducing the number 12 would be adding 1 and 2 to get 3.^{[24]

- For example, if your birthday is December 30, 1995 the calculation would look like this:
- Month: 12 = 1 + 2 = 3
- Day: 30 = 3 + 0 = 3
- Year (first reduction): 1995 = 1 + 9 + 9 + 5 = 24
- Year (second reduction): 24 = 2 + 4 = 6
- Life Path Number (first reduction): 3 + 3 + 6 = 12
- Life Path Number (final reduction): 12 = 1 + 2 = 3
- The Life Path Number for someone born on December 30, 1995 would be 3.
