Number 1s are the Independent Individuals and leaders of the world, and their greatest gift is their uniqueness and originality. They’re strong-minded, self-sufficient, and extremely capable; however, they often feel like an outsider or a square peg in a round hole. On the one hand, they want to belong and be a part of the team—yet on the other, they crave to be #1 so they can stand out from the crowd. Once they learn to lead alongside others rather than dominating from above, they make outstanding managers and leaders.

It’s important that partners and associates of 7s understand this about this number so they don’t take their need for time by themselves personally. They’re not as social and outgoing as the other numbers (unless they’re a 34/7 Life Path; have an outgoing astrology chart; or have other Core Numbers such as 1, 3, and 5).

As talented problem solvers, they enjoy the thrill of a challenge and are driven to succeed. Their strength, determination, and vision— combined with their good judgment and practicality—enable them to reach, and often exceed, their goals. When they live by their higher ideals, they can be extremely successful in business. But when they have a negative attitude about life and money, they often struggle financially. If they can overcome their tendency to worry, they have much potential for success.

They’re extremely generous, sympathetic, and kind, and they feel the pain of others. It’s not uncommon to see them fighting for a cause or donating their time, attention, or money to the underprivileged, animals, or the environment. Not all 9s are selfless and compassionate, though. In fact, most grow into becoming Compassionate Humanitarians through their life lessons and experiences. Even though a willingness to serve lies deep within them, it takes a complete overcoming of their lower selves to bring it to the surface and have it remain there. They reach their potential when they live by their higher ideals, but it’s up to them whether they choose to do so.
