Understanding Number 7 in Numerology: Meaning and Key CharacteristicsNumber Seven (7~ Ketu)

“Give Me Time To Think About It”

The planetary equivalent of the number 7 is Ketu. It shows study, research, loneliness, aloofness and mysticism. This number symbolises the law of culture. It is cold and intellectual in nature. It is the number of inventors, musicians and composers. It deals with the home and the responsibilities of the household. It shows good health and conduct and philosophical nature. When this number is not used properly, it shows deceit and stubbornness. Rahu and Ketu are two half-planets placed 180 degrees apart—exactly opposite—from each other. They are the two nodes of Moon, also known as the dragon’s head and the dragon’s tail. Rahu, the head, has already been discussed on page 75. Now we will explore the dragon’s tail, Ketu, which is depicted as a headless torso with the body of a fish. Although Ketu is considered malefic, it is much less so than Rahu. This is mainly because Ketu is considered to be a moksha-karak (cause of liberation). It bestows nonattachment to worldly desires and spiritual tendencies. It gives wisdom, the power of discrimination, and psychic abilities to its natives. Under its influence, natives become highly sensitive and emotional; they feel aversions toward material successes and become disinterested in the psychodrama of life. They feel that they have no ambitions, no motivations. They become interested in Gyana, the knowledge of the self, and try to achieve enlightenment through the “true knowledge.” Ketu is neutral in gender (although some astrologers consider it to be feminine), tamasic in nature, and destructive and disruptive in character. It makes its natives inert. It is powerful at night and easily irritable. When Ketu is not in an astrologically favorable position, it makes its natives cripple. They lose their power of discrimination and become crazy, in the worldly sense. Sometimes they seem to be possessed by evil spirits and ghosts. On the other hand, when Ketu is favorable, natives acquire the power of healing those possessed by evil spirits and ghosts. It makes them interested in the healing arts, such as natural healing, Tantric or psychic healing, healing through witchcraft and the occult sciences, healing through herbs, foods, spices, sound vibrations, and so on. Natives ruled by Ketu are talkative; they love discussions and debates and have their own type of logic. They live in fantasies, are intuitive, imaginative, and love to exaggerate. They are shabby in appearance, not caring for their outer image. Sometimes they are well dressed, sometimes not. Their outlooks are cosmopolitan; they accept truths from all religions and create religions of their own. Ketu rules over old age. It gives its natives a wind-dominated body chemistry, which makes them restless.

The 7 is the number of spirituality, mysticism, wisdom, and success. Pythagoras called 7 the “Crooked and the Straight.” God made the world in six days and rested on the seventh. The 7 turns its back on the upcoming numbers, does not start the fervent work of the 8.

Those with 7’s prominent in their charts need more rest than other people. They can’t take loud music, crowds, noise, or commotion. They maintain their balance through serenity. The 7’s stand straight, tall, and dignified. They are usually conservative in manner, thinking, and dress. They don’t talk much but when they do they have something of substance to say, for 7 is an intellectual number. They read a lot and think deeply about things. They seem to be secretive. The 7 is a number of faith. They seek spiritual wisdom unless they are negative. Then faith is replaced with fear and the strong, quiet person is, instead, an incessant talker. In general, negative 7’s will express faith or fear, alertness or laziness. The 7’s continually seek perfection. Whatever type of work they decide to do, they must be the best. If doctors, they will specialize. If musicians, they will compose and perform. The 7’s will dig for facts and analyze everything. They work best alone. Also, the 7’s prefer quality to quantity. They want to share their life with someone they admire or they would rather be alone. They are very private people and can be hard to know. Only when they know and like you will they open up and be friendly. They need understanding, love, and compassion. They may seem cold but they do like to do things for people. The 7’s are very intuitive. They are the ones most apt to remember their dreams and dream in color.

There’s a time for introspection, a time to subject all an individual knows to mental Analysis, so that eventually a person possesses much of knowledge and Understanding. Spiritual awareness is employed, and emphasis on material matters avoided. Desire for material accumulation will probably lead the individual off the track, for this is a time for study and meditation, a time to know oneself-in the deepest way. There will be much time spent alone-the person must learn to be alone and not feel isolated. Often, the individual will appear “different” to others-his way of thinking or doing may be very much his own and may seem inexplicable to his fellow man. He must accept that he is on a different wavelength and find satisfaction in that. In a world where materialism rates so highly, the road for the counselor, the professor, the pure researcher may be a difficult one.

“Characteristics and Attributes of Number-7 (Ketu)”

Relationship:

With a 7, you are by nature introspective and someone who likes your space, so you will want to make sure that your partner gives you room to breathe. However, you are in touch with nature and may well want a spiritual bond with your partner. You are well mannered and fussy about who you go out with, and seek a partner who is clean and tidy around the home. You have a vivid imagination that is great when you’re conjuring up places to visit, but you can be over-imaginative about the relationship and not see what is really happening, which can be a problem.

Careers :

You may make a brilliant psychologist because you have such an analytical brain; you like to spend time pondering on the connections you make and what you have learned from your observations. You may also work as an analyst in any field. A career as a physicist, mathematician, biologist or numerologist may also appeal, so you can apply your intuition and logic to piece information together. With a 7, you may also be attracted to work as a healer due to your incredible sensitivity and spiritual connection, which can help bring others peace. You can be extreme, and are as likely to enjoy working as a librarian in quietness and solitude as working in a fast-moving environment as a stockbroker.

You may like to spend time on your own to recharge your batteries. Walks in the park, cooking simple meals, swimming and reading may be on your agenda.
