Soul Urge Number 7 — The Soul That Must Understand
At the deepest level, Soul Urge 7 is driven by the need to understand — to penetrate beneath the surface of things to find the truth that lies underneath. The interior life of a Soul Urge 7 is rich with questions, drawn to mystery, deeply uncomfortable with superficiality. They are at their most fully themselves in solitude, in deep study, in the particular satisfaction of arriving at an understanding that others have not yet reached.
Deepest desires
To understand the deepest nature of things
To be respected for their intellectual and spiritual depth
To have genuine solitude for thinking and reflection
To pursue truth without compromise
To find meaning beneath the surface of ordinary life
The shadow
The shadow of Soul Urge 7 is isolation, emotional unavailability and the equation of intimacy with vulnerability (rather than with depth). When the need for understanding becomes contempt for those who prefer the surface, the 7 soul has become arrogant. The other major shadow is the retreat into a purely mental life that lacks warmth.
In relationships
Soul Urge 7 people are not easy partners, but they are genuinely profound ones. They bring depth, intellectual intimacy and a quality of perception to their relationships that is rare. They need partners who can meet them in conversation about ideas and who do not interpret their need for solitude as rejection.
In career
Research, philosophy, spiritual leadership, writing, analysis, psychology, medicine — any field where depth of understanding is the primary currency. Soul Urge 7 is most fulfilled when their work requires genuine intellectual penetration.
