wow so much thought was put into your reply's, thankyou tricky raven
this is the site where i got both the sabien and kozminsky interpretation
http://www.astrologyweekly.com/sabian-symbols/capricorn-symbols.php
here is an exerpt from astrology-numerology.com on the number 7, or scorpionic energy
A Life Path 7 person is a peaceful and affectionate soul. But you guard your connection to people carefully. It's easy for you to detect deception and recognize insincere people, and you avoid them. You aren't one to have a wide circle of friends, but once you accept someone as a friend, it's for life. It's as if you must get to know someone a lot better before you allow the wall surrounding you to be penetrated. Chances are you are a very charming and refined individual with great poise and a quick wit. Nonetheless, there is an exclusiveness about you. You probably aren't a very social person. Your reserve is often taken to be aloofness, but actually, it's not that at all. It is merely a cover up for your basic feeling of insecurity. There's no rush, It takes time for you to warm up to new friends. Clubs and organizations hold little interest for you; you are not a joiner.
You actually like being alone and away from the hustle and bustle of modern life. In many ways, you would have fit in better in much earlier times when the pace of life was less hectic. You need a good deal of quiet time to be with your own inner thoughts and dreams. You dislike crowds, noise, distractions, and confusion.
The overwhelming strength of the number 7 is reflected in the depth of thinking that is shown; you will garner knowledge from practically every source that you find. Intellectual, scientific, and studious, you don't accept a premise until you have dissected the subject and arrived at your own independent conclusion.
This is a very spiritual number and it often denotes a sort of spiritual wisdom that becomes apparent at a fairly early age. A built in inner guide providing a strong sense of intuition may set you up as being a law unto yourself. Whatever spiritual position you take, whether traditional or bizarre, you will cling to it with fervor. Once you have decided an issue, it is almost impossible to get you to revisit the question. Adaptability is not your style, and change for you is a rarity.
You rely heavily on your experiences and your intuition, rather than accepting advice from someone. Your hunches usually prove to be very accurate, and knowing this, you follow the directions they seem to guide.
In the most negative use of the 7 energies, you can become very pessimistic, lackadaisical, quarrelsome, and secretive. A Life Path 7 individual who is not living life fully and gaining through experiences, is a hard person to live with because of a serious lack of consideration for others. There is such a negative attitude. Indeed, operating on the negative side of the 7 can produce a very selfish and spoiled individual and living with one can be a challenge. This may be why some 7s actually prefer living alone. If you have any of the negative traits they are very difficult to get rid of because you tend to feel that the world really does owe you a living or that in some way you are not being fairly treated.
Fortunately, the negative 7 is not the typical 7, at least not without some mitigating positive traits. This number is one that seems to have some major shifts from highs to lows. Stability in feelings may be elusive for you.
i however do not have a lifepath of seven, but i completely relate to this interpretation. i have only two friends, who i am completely loyal too. i am perceived as a loner, by most people. the line:
"Nonetheless, there is an exclusiveness about you. You probably aren't a very social person. Your reserve is often taken to be aloofness, but actually, it's not that at all. It is merely a cover up for your basic feeling of insecurity."
completely describes my personality.
i remember while going through a sortof breaking down and rebuilding of myself a couple of years ago, my parents would criticize me for going to extremes in finding the answers i needed.. the only way i could describe it was that i saw the problems and wanted to get to the root of them, i wanted to dip deep and find the truth... this was long before i knew about astrology....
i follow my intuition into a speared pit at times... but in the end it benefits me, even though it seems self destructive at first.
"If you have any of the negative traits they are very difficult to get rid of because you tend to feel that the world really does owe you a living or that in some way you are not being fairly treated."
i tend to feel the opposite... like i owe the world something... and that so many other people are more unfairly treated than i am.
even though my lifepath number is not 7, my favorite number for all my life has been the number 7 and 17. if that means anything
With such a huge wing span, this could relate to an expansive and optimistic person who needs to be ‘free’(seamen) to enjoy life. In other words we need room to fly! The more dependent we become to the others, the more we will become emotionally dependent on them (a form of imprisonment?). In other words the albatross will not do what it is meant to do…….it will stay near the seamen, withdrawing from its true purpose.
this really struck me... i need alot of space and freedom... so much that when i am in the car and restricted from putting my own car window down, unable to feel the wind... i feel suffocated and imprisoned.. i know that is extreme, but it is how i feel. i also feel like i am emotionally dependant on others, and that i am not fullfilling my purpose... though this emotional depenance is not as strong as it was before.. i have learned to become more independant.
Imagine being a sailor and finding the uncharted waters as our home? Hmm, traveling to places we would only ever dream of?
A lovely symbol to behold!
yes it is
... this is along the lines of what i want to do with my life.. travel and study nature... this would be a life no one in my family has ever lived.
The ship seamen (plural) could be seeking to bring other people happiness, as much as they work (unconscious, reflections of water) to secure their own.
my desire to make others happy is almost overwhelming... sometimes i will even sacrifice voicing my own opinions so not to upset them...
The glimmering light, may be visions, hopes, high ideals which are set in a world that is filled with love as well as hate and cruelty.
people always tell me how contradictory my optomistic dreams are compaared to my sometimes pessimistic attitude... at the same time i dream of greater future, i realize how messed up the world is now and it depresses me
I also wonder if the armory means we could be prepared to coexist in peace, but not to make ourselves vulnerable.
this is exactly how i approach my family
i am honestly unsure whether are not the kozminsky symbols are supposed to reflect similar answers, but i don't believe they do.
