Are You A Life Path 7? Here's What That Means, According To Numerologists

Once you calculate your numerology chart and know your life path number, you can use it to better understand your personality, strengths, and weaknesses. Here, we're diving deep into life path number 7.

So, 3 would be your life path number.

Life path 7s are often referred to as the "seekers" of numerology because their life is all about the pursuit of higher knowledge. Nothing matters to this life path more than finding the answers to all the burning questions of existence, with numerologist Kaitlyn Kaerhart telling mindbodygreen that, "The biggest motivating factor in a 7's life lies in the pursuit of truth, knowledge, and committing itself to a sacred calling."

Because they're on a seemingly endless quest for knowledge, life path 7s are super analytical. They spend a lot of time in their own heads and, according to numerologist Michelle Buchanan, are generally contemplative, detail-oriented, and analytical. "They're talented students, problem solvers, and strategists who are often drawn to technology, health, science, spirituality, or psychology," Buchanan previously wrote for mindbodygreen.

And while they have no problem in the logic department, they can, however, struggle when it comes to emotions. According to Buchanan, "The emotional realm may feel awkward for them," and learning to healthily express their emotions and affections is definitely an area of growth for this life path.

The number 7 is the philosopher's number in numerology, with Kaerhart explaining that this life path possesses great wisdom and the ability to integrate and use that wisdom for the betterment of all. "They want to be in control of how others see them and do not want their personal business out in the open," she says, adding that in order to reach their fullest potential, 7s need to learn "to trust their gut feeling enough to share their vision with the world."

The life path 7's journey is often a solitary and inward one, according to Kaerhart, with these people often becoming reclusive or isolated. They are meditative and grounded and have no problem retreating into their own minds. They may come off as a bit removed from people, and that's because "they need to be alone, and that need to be solitary is essential to their existence," Kaerhart explains.

And according to Buchanan, life path 7s may often be drawn to careers in spirituality, philosophy, psychology, research, and health. Here are a few careers well suited for life path 7s:

And when it comes to compatibility, life path 7s are most compatible with life paths 4, 5, and 7, and potentially 1 and 9. They may not feel on the same wavelength as life paths 2, 3, 6, and 8, according to Kaerhart.

And lastly, as Kaerhart adds, life path 7s must learn to trust their own gut and share their vision with the world. Again, they have no trouble with analyzing but can be out of touch with their emotional side. Striking that balance will help them share all of their valuable knowledge for the betterment of others.

Numerology can give us a new way to understand everything from our personality to the kind of year we're going to have. If you're a life path number 7, you'll undoubtedly feel a strong call to dig into life's biggest questions and further, find the answers you so deeply seek.
