Numerology Number 7 Meaning and Traits

Number seven is a number that vibrates to the planet Neptune, and it has a powerful spiritual and emotional connotation. Seven represents a deeply sensitive, empathetic personality who uses their emotional intelligence and intuition. It’s also a number who finds it easy to have sympathy with others. 

There is an air of mystery around number seven; it is associated with the esoteric, and there is something charming yet rather confusing about their personality. 

Number seven is associated with the gifts of healing. People influenced by seven may heal in both traditional and non-traditional ways, and they are often attracted to medicine or pharmacy. However, number seven is also the number of miracles, faith, and spirituality. They are strongly drawn to the unseen and may embrace concepts like clairvoyance and the psychic world, but they also can be very interested in using the law of attraction and meditation as they enjoy tuning in to their higher powers. 

Number seven has an amazing imagination that is rich and vivid. They are a creative personality, and they often will express their creativity through photography, art, drama, or film. 

Personality Traits of a Number Seven 

Number seven is a charismatic energy but not necessarily aggressive or particularly overt in style. Sevens tend to draw people towards them rather than actively seeking either affection or success. They have a subtle power to create the relationships and the opportunities they dream of simply because they are vividly able to envisage — and what you envisage, you are able to manifest. They certainly believe in unseen forces and are drawn to concepts that provide a higher level of wisdom, be it religion, philosophy, or spirituality. They are also drawn to the occult, astrology, and other ways of deciphering meaning. 

A person is influenced by the number seven if they are born on the 7th, 16th, or 21st day of the month. Number seven often has the power of prophecy. They are not only intuitive about people’s motives, true nature, and agendas; they are also able to have flashes of insight where suddenly events in the future come to them with great clarity, and in that way they can have remarkable dreams and visions. When a number seven has dreams about something, they really need to pay attention because it’s likely that these dreams have significance. 

Number seven plays life like a poker game. There are many things they protect close to their heart. They are keepers of secrets and make wonderful confidants. Sometimes they like to talk about their deeply felt emotions, and sometimes they prefer not to, which means they can be quite a hard personality to truly know. Even if sevens have traits which are outwardly gregarious, there’s also always something cryptic that makes them a dark horse, an unknown quality. People have a sense that they don’t truly know or understand them.

Number seven are drawn to anything mysterious. They have a penchant for the esoteric world: the world of spirits, ghosts, and unexplained phenomena, and they are more likely than most people to perceive these entities. They’re also rather interested in ancient culture, history, and mythology, as these often hold secrets that others can only imagine. 

Seven is also attuned to the art world and poetry, as they are great at perceiving the hidden meanings and intentions that often live buried in these works of art. Obviously, they have the gift of intuition and sometimes even clairvoyance, but even if they don’t, they tend to give good advice, and they often see quite complex, confusing situations with amazing clarity. 

They have a calming, soothing effect on others. They generally react to other people with compassion. They tend to avoid situations that are extremely competitive because being competitive is not in their nature. They seek to fall in love with someone who will provide protection, security, and who is very open in terms of their own personal growth and development. 

Sometimes number sevens have rather weird ideas, and they can be quite quirky and eccentric. They will adopt lifestyles which are often rather confusing to others, and so they need a flexible, open-minded partner who also likes to go with the flow and who has an appetite for the mysterious and for understanding the hidden meaning in things, rather than living on a purely pragmatic or material level. 

The Number Seven in Love and Relationships 

Number seven is a sensitive soul. They don’t do well with conflict. They would prefer to be with a personality type who is extremely gracious, friendly, and cooperative. They are not necessarily a leader, so sometimes it’s ideal if the partner they chose is more decisive and aggressive and who can maybe fight their battles and help them to feel secure and protected. 

Number seven tends to have unusual lifestyles. They may be night owls or people who work to an irregular rhythm, and they often become devoted to their work, particularly if it is emotionally satisfying. So they need a partner who understands that they don’t necessarily want to stick to rigid routines, and sometimes there are very important things that capture their imagination and which they feel they need to follow with all their energy. 

Number seven makes extremely compassionate partners. Although they are very giving in nature, they always hold something in reserve. If they begin to feel that someone is using them or has a sinister agenda, they can withdraw and walk away. So one always has to be careful that a number seven is nurtured and cherished, because while they may be easygoing in the short run, in the long term they are totally capable of leaving a bad relationship, sometimes quite unexpectedly.

Number seven can be poor with boundaries in love. They like to give their all and leave it all on the field. In love, they know no half measures. However, sometimes they can become emotionally exhausted, and they are very susceptible to a partner’s toxicity. So it’s very important for them to develop better boundaries so that they can maintain their strength during times when their partners are going through a hard time. They need to better understand their own limits so that they can enter the relationship with more realistic expectations. 

Compatibility of Number seven with the Other Numbers in Numerology 

Number seven matches fairly well with the characteristics of number one. Both have a creative spirit and have generous and loving traits. These numbers enjoy romance, want to fall in love, and are also very committed and loyal. 

Once in a relationship, a great deal of trust can be established. Number one tends to be more go-getting and dominant, and this can offer seven a lot of protection. Seven understand the more sensitive nature of number one, and they are able to cater to that and provide one with the love, romance, and creativity they crave. 

This is a romantic, loving couple; however, sometimes they need space from one another, as number seven likes to do their own thing and number one can often get a little controlling. One tends to want more definition, and sometimes seven can seem rather vague and distracted, which is disconcerting for one. Number seven needs to work hard at communication to totally secure a relationship with number one. 

Number seven and number two are a highly compatible combination. These are two intuitive, sensitive, receptive numbers who both have a great degree of empathy. When they come together, they will nurture, support, and deeply love each other. Commitment usually isn’t an issue, as both want to be in a stable relationship. They are able to understand the sensitive wisdom that each has. One of the problems, however, is that number two can feel insecure with number seven, as sevens have those rather erratic traits, whereas number two is very much about consistency. 

In terms of number seven, they may find that two is smothering, and seven might be the one who wants slightly more freedom. Number seven is not always great with money, so it helps that number two is pretty money-savvy. 

Seven and three are an inspiring mix of characters and there will be loads they want to talk about. They both tend to think about the big picture and are concerned about the fate of humanity and the themes that run along society. They’re also in tune with the fact that there’s a higher power, and they want to grow and develop that awareness of the bigger picture. Sometimes number three is not sensitive enough however, and they may have traits that seem cavalier and too unreliable for a number seven. Number three may find number seven isn’t energetic or always chatty enough, and they are often bamboozled by the more moody nature of a number seven.

Seven and four are a fascinating combination in numerology. Both of them have maverick traits. They are personalities who are often loners and feel misunderstood, so there can be a lot of sympathetic understanding here. They may come together in times of great crisis where they can console each other. They are likely to become very good friends, and the sexual side of the relationship can be powerful, in terms of the fact that there’s a lot of sexual chemistry. Day-to-day there are inevitably disagreements when it comes to values and decision making, and their life together could be quite chaotic. 

Number seven and number five are a numerology match that often happens in real life. They are immediately attracted to each other and are intellectually compatible. They enjoy each other’s humour, they share ideas, and they are a couple who quite like living a life that’s pretty spontaneous. Over time, however, they simply won’t understand each other at an emotional level. Number five tends to forego the emotional side of life and would rather be getting on with things, socialising, and distracting themselves from dealing with more difficult matters. Whereas with number seven, the more complicated something is, the more it draws them in. Therefore, their communication traits are very different: one is very logical, one is a lot more intuitive, and they don’t really understand each other or what each truly wants. They are likely to drift apart. 

Number seven and six is beautifully compatible. These creative, romantic personalities for whom romance and relationship stability is very important. There’s no doubt number six can provide the love, harmony, and sanctuary that number seven is looking for, and seven can delight number six through the way they are romantic, nostalgic, and very creative with words. Both of them love the arts; there will be plenty of things they can enjoy doing together, and they are both likely to want to have children. However, decision-making is terrible, and both of them can be awful procrastinators. They may be inclined to let life pass them by or wind up in trouble through lack of care for practicalities. 

Number seven is fairly happy to enter a relationship with an eight or nine. Both eight and nine are more masculine in their characteristics. These personalities are fairly determined, headstrong, and they tend to be quite decisive, which all provides seven with a lot more reassurance, security, and motivation. 

One of the problems is both eight and nine aren’t really that sympathetic. Eight can sometimes feel too regimented or controlling for a seven, and although nine can have a fairly happy-go-lucky demeanour, they can seem a little bit selfish and may not make enough of an attempt to understand or listen to number seven. The relationship with seven and eight or seven and nine can lack good communication, and both parties can end up feeling misunderstood and quite frustrated. 

Strengths and Challenges for Number Seven

The greatest strength of number seven is their ability to use emotional intelligence. They have foresight and great perceptive wisdom. They are not afraid of anything that is extremely complex, in fact, it fascinates them. They are very persistent and have strong powers of endurance. They have a great deal of emotional energy. 

They don’t tend to be bound by tradition or orthodoxy and therefore are able to be incredibly creative and come up with really important solutions. They make an adaptable, loving, and devoted partner who is incredibly compassionate and also very doting, so it can be a blessing to be in love with a seven. 

Seven is not a materialistic personality. Accumulating huge numbers of worldly goods and designer brands or fast cars really won’t appeal to them. The most important thing in life for seven is relationships and also being able to help people. They have an incredibly giving nature, and for them the motto “giving is better than receiving” is very true in a genuine way. 

Number sevens do have a tendency to be anxious. They worry a lot, and they also have a problem detaching from their concerns. They are particularly attuned to anxiety among family members and will worry about the people they care for. Sometimes, however, their worry is not very productive, and they may spend too much time worrying, wasting that energy instead of doing something productive to solve the problem. 

Seven are not the most adept with money simply because they don’t value it that highly, and they’re not that practical in their thinking. So it really helps if they have people around them who they can trust to give good financial advice, or if they have a partner who is financially secure. 

Sevens can be very evasive if pushed into a corner. They will make excuses, procrastinate, avoid, and even tell white lies. They are sometimes guilty of creating fantasies and having a persona that is a little bit enigmatic. They like to play a role. They can make great actresses and actors, but sometimes they protect their vulnerabilities through playing a character in life, making it hard for people to really know them. 

Spiritual Meaning and Symbolism of the Number Seven 

Number seven is the number of spirituality. People who vibrate to number seven have a great desire to cultivate belief, faith, and to find an avenue in which they can explore and make sense of the unknown. This is also the numerology number of secrets and mystery. They like to protect their vulnerable and sensitive nature by remaining an enigma. These are not people who are straightforward and direct; they tend to adapt to the situation, and they often cope by being what other people need in any situation. 

Their traits are to be rather laid back, but when something has affected them at an emotional level, they can be incredibly forceful, determined, and can go to the ends of the earth to pursue an aim.

They rarely discuss their ambitions with others, and they are more likely to be good listeners who seek to understand the pain and suffering of others. The spiritual goal of a number seven is to be an empath, someone who is there to be a shoulder to cry on and a support system. They understand the misunderstood, and aim to help those on the edges of society whom others have forgotten. They tend to love the underdog, and there is a strong yearning they have to help the outcast. 

They seek to know and not be known. Their quest for knowledge is substantial, but they are very private people who like to keep their problems to themselves. They will use faith and their own spiritual awareness to solve their problems rather than a therapist, for example. 

Number seven in Tarot and Astrology 

The number seven is associated with the planet Neptune and the sign of Pisces. In terms of tarot, the number seven resonates with the tarot card The Moon. 

The Moon is associated with a personality who is able to perceive secret motives, hidden information, and also ancient hidden truths. They are people who are often repositories for other people’s secrets, but they also manage to stumble upon secrets, and they have an awareness of what is going on beneath the surface. 

They are frequently confused because they pick up signals on an emotional and intuitive level, and they often need time alone to process these. Seven needs plenty of time alone to think, meditate, and to get away from the madding crowd. They enjoy being with people, but they like to keep people at arm’s length because they can easily become stressed and anxious when they are in pressure situations, have to meet deadlines, or have to deal with very demanding people. It’s important for them to have those boundaries. 

For number seven’s personal growth, it’s so important for them to deal with their fears. They are often deeply influenced by the experiences they have had, particularly in childhood, and they tend to repeat patterns over and over until they are able to let go and resolve them. Letting go and detaching from the past is an essential lesson that a number seven needs to learn. They may need to go through a purging process where buried memories are released, or they may need therapy where they can dredge things up, resolve and release them, and break the spell of the past. 

Life Lessons and Growth for a Number Seven 

Creativity and being artistic is a wonderful therapy for a number seven. They often find themselves in careers where they use their artistic creativity and eye for design, and this is a wonderful avenue for them. Many artists will use the medium of painting to convey deeply complex subjects through their art, and that is something that many number sevens do. They may use art, photography, dance, or other formats to convey the many emotions that they feel, and people often respond to that at a very intuitive level. 

One of their other goals is healing. They’re often deeply interested in both traditional and conventional medicine. They make great pharmacists, homeopaths, and also faith healers. They become emotionally involved with others, and that gives them deeper levels of awareness into others’ psychological or medical problems, making them excellent at diagnosing, and they have the compassion to want to truly help. Whether they become a doctor or an artist, they will see it as a calling rather than just a way of making money, and that’s why they can be so successful. 

Conclusion 

Number sevens are sensitive and emotional personalities. They have great powers of intuition. This is a number who understands things beyond the obvious. They’re not necessarily materialistic and practical; therefore, they are suited to careers that don’t involve management, high levels of competition, or a dog-eat-dog world. They prefer to work with people and deal with emotions rather than working with numbers or money. They can be very talented when it comes to art, drama, and design, as they have a vivid imagination. 

They tend to have great powers when it comes to meditation and positive thinking because they have a wonderful imagination, and they certainly have a great deal of faith and belief in the higher powers out there, which they can tap into. They have esoteric traits and psychic abilities, and they’re great at reading the emotions of others. 

Number seven, however, does need to develop stronger boundaries because they are far more affected by other people’s moods and actions than they may think. They need their own space and time to decompress. 

They love to travel and are fascinated with faraway lands and exotic cultures. While they need some stability in their life, they are quite whimsical and don’t want to be suffocated or tied down. As deeply empathetic and compassionate as they are, they don’t want a partner who is going to dominate them or take up all of their time, as they need time to think, imagine, and tune in to that higher awareness.
