Arcana 7 in the Destiny Matrix: The Chariot

7 · In the day of birth · point A

A seven in the day of birth makes you a person of constant movement. You know what you want, you set goals all your life and put your full strength into them. You have a leader's character, and your determination draws others along. With this strength comes the risk of losing focus and balance, which turns into serious difficulties.

You are stubborn and persistent. When you meet a setback, you get up and carry on. You are active and enterprising, and your work is often connected with transport. Speed and driving feel natural to you, you prefer big cars and change many vehicles over a lifetime. Such people often live between two cities or countries and have a strong urge to leave their home region. A high post, power and control suit them.

You are a high-speed person: an idea appears, and you head straight for it. The seven is called a human tank. You charge those around you with your energy, and people start copying your style, purchases and habits even when you never meant them to. You cannot bear routine and monotony, you sink into gloom when nothing new happens for a long time, and you welcome change like a child. You love making plans many years ahead. It is enough for you to write your wishes down on paper, and they begin to materialise.

For all the dynamism of this energy, you may be lazy or struggle to find a use for yourself. Chasing many goals at once means what you start stays unfinished. Fear of responsibility and belligerence appear. If a wish to fight the world lives in your soul, you constantly attract difficult situations you have to battle through. An inability to relax and excessive zeal drain your inner resources. A seven in its minus is also described through a counter-dependent, narcissistic character: career ambition, a wish to be the best and the very first, avoidant behaviour, being closed off in relationships. Without praise and recognition such a person walks away. A woman who has chosen family over career will be first there too.

7 · In the month · point B

A seven in the month of birth gives you the powerful energy of a warrior and winner and an enormous potential to lead people. Your guardian angel is the team: you come up with an idea and voice it, and people carry it out. The gift unfolds in movement and active work.

This is the active masculine energy of a warrior, a winner, an Olympic champion. It grants a superpower for leadership. You lay your own path and teach others to do the same, so you achieve everything yourself, make your own decisions and drive the chariot of your own fate. Many roads lie open before you, and you know how to persuade people and set them alight with your ideas. When you succeed at this, you are in the plus and under divine protection.

The patron of this point: a traveller, a pioneer, a successful and ambitious person, a careerist absorbed in work who wants to be first. It is the kshatriya warrior, the soldier, the winner, the driver, the rider, the person on a business trip, the newcomer from another city. The energies of Hermes and Ares act here, together with the patronage of Jesus Christ. Contact with the Higher Powers comes through trips, travel, places of power and knowledge gained in another city.

The main block of this position: aggression towards God, a quarrelsome nature, a love of rivalry and of trampling over people. It also covers a lack of development and of a goal, no contact with people, earthly attachments, fear of travel and fear of becoming a leader.

• Meditate and repeat affirmations during dynamic practices: runs, brisk walks, any physical activity. Movement and sport speed up spiritual growth, and meditation brings interesting ideas and visions.
• Set goals slightly higher and more spiritual than your current ones, write down everything you strive for in a diary, and act steadily and patiently. Let your goals reach beyond personal interests: think about how you can benefit the greatest number of people.
• In stagnation, speed up your pace of development, start working on yourself and draw up a plan for many years ahead to channel your energy in the right direction. Learn to relax: the body has its limits, and work without rest leads nowhere good.
• Travel inwards as well, towards your subconscious and your feelings. Rebirthing, holotropic breathwork, shamanism, mandala drawing, group meditation, dream work and a dream diary, and going through an initiation all suit this.

7 · In the year · point C

In the year of birth the seven shows itself mostly in its minus. Unused energy stagnates and has a destructive effect on the physical body. Passivity and inaction are more dangerous here than constant movement.

Without clear goals the energy begins to run dry. Vital potential falls, and the soul's purpose stays unfulfilled. A person without a goal wanders like someone lost in a dense forest. From this come stagnation, a sense that existence is meaningless and even aggressive behaviour.

Your energy is very powerful. If you do not manage it and let it manage you, it creates obstacles and difficulties. Stopping threatens a return to the past, and you will have to build up the strength to move all over again. When you develop leadership qualities and self-confidence, people follow you and help you reach your goals.

• Stay in motion: drive, walk, run.
• Learn to set clear goals and move towards them with confidence and high activity.
• Develop leadership qualities and strengthen your self-confidence.
• Recognise your enormous energy potential and direct it towards your own development.

7 · In the bottom corner · point D

A seven in the karmic point shows that in a past life you did not cope with the warrior's energy. It reaches over from there and now and then slips into its minus: without a clear goal your actions scatter, your strength drains away and a hostile mood towards people sets in. Your karmic task is to achieve success and fame by peaceful means.

The lowest point of the personal square of the matrix links you to past lives. When you have a goal directed towards the good, the warrior's energy is spent as intended, on victory. You have to learn to reach your own goals rather than other people's and to know what you really want from life. The task includes becoming a leader who guides people towards your goal, a bright fighter for a just cause, and travelling and driving vehicles. What helps is a drive for success, leadership in your field, a successful career and the ability to distribute energy and resources wisely.

The core problem of this position: no forward movement. You are held back by scattered attention and an inability to keep your focus on one thing for long and finish what you start. Life is perceived as a battlefield, you search for a justice that does not exist and think in black-and-white terms. Until you recognise the fairness of what is happening, you respond to events with aggression. Life situations either crush you when you do not understand them, or you get out of them quickly.

An inability to relax and excessive activity lead to nervous breakdowns and overstrain. In the minus, karmic illnesses appear at once: leg problems and neurological disorders.

• Move consciously towards the goals you have set, overcome passivity and laziness, and take responsibility for your life into your own hands.
• Find a source of inspiration and lead others, having freed yourself from authoritarianism, belligerence and hostility. Lead peacefully and harmoniously, look to high ideals, cultivate a positive frame of mind, and believe in yourself and in success.
• Train your body, strengthen your skeletal system and keep your joints flexible. Fitness, exercise and active leisure are vital for you.
• Master relaxation and meditation practices, and learn to move from an active state to a passive one, relaxing the mind and the body.

7 · In the centre · comfort zone

A seven in the centre of the matrix means you draw energy from moving towards a goal, from dynamism, triumph and victory. It matters to you to win, to be the best and to earn praise. Society sees in you an energetic leader who has found their place in the world, inspires others to act and helps them get what they want.

You are filled up by travel, active leisure, driving a car or riding a bicycle, and team sports. You are happy in a team of like-minded people that you yourself lead. Inside you lives a need for thrill, competition, rivalry, career fulfilment and adventure.

You cannot stay at rest for long, and you lose the meaning of life when there is nowhere to grow. Your motto says that movement is life. You love running, walking, dancing and sport, you cannot sit idle and tend to do several things at once. At work you are a tireless careerist and workaholic: you do not rest yourself and do not let others rest either. You are a good manager, full of strength and always eager for the fray. The body needs rest all the same, so it is important for you to learn relaxation and meditation.

To find your place in society, it is important to show leadership through service, to cleanse the information of your family line, to cultivate right ancestral behaviour and to heal wrong scripts, such as aggression. You are a team person: you believe you should solve your own problems yourself, but with the help of connections and the right acquaintances. Often you simply put forward an idea, and others pick it up and carry it out together. If, instead of coordinated work, you buy, cook and organise everything yourself, the energy has gone into its minus. Then everyone pulls in different directions, and resentment and aggression towards your so-called friends appear.

Love line

A seven in the relationship channel brings you a partner who is a leader with an active approach to life. They are busy with their own self-realisation and career, and they love travel, movement and overcoming obstacles. In the minus this is a quarrelsome, lazy and harsh person.

In the plus such a partner loves to take charge both in life and in the relationship. They inspire you with new experiences and never let you sit still. Reaching goals matters to them.

Balance point

A seven in the balance point requires you not to impose your opinions and views, either in relationships or in your work. You can be the one who inspires the ideas, as long as you leave others the right to choose.

The role of an inspirer of ideas suits you: propose different directions and ideas. But you must not push. Choose both your work and your partner by spiritual preference, not for material gain.

Entry to the money line

A seven at the entrance to the money channel shows what is blocking your financial flow: charging headlong at a goal, fixation on the material, laziness, aggression and the habit of doing everything yourself. The flow opens when you have a high spiritual goal and people you can lean on.

Money is blocked by impatience and the wish to get everything at once, an inability to move step by step, total laziness and a lack of movement. Distrust of those around you and a readiness to trample over people also get in the way.

Money line

A seven in the money channel brings finances through movement, travel, transport, leadership and politics. The money flow is opened by the ability to build a team, set it a goal and lead it to a result. The spiritual goal must come first: when the emphasis shifts to the material, money does not come.

Through the seventh arcanum you will be tested on your ability to lead people. At the same time it is important for you to set money goals, to aim at expanding your money flow, to see the sums you want per month or per year, to write them down and to move towards them.

Talent zone

A seven in the talent zone gives innate leadership and a unique ability to reach any goal you set, as long as the energy is in its plus. You are always ready to go, you make decisions quickly, and you know how to interest people and draw them into the right process. Movement towards a goal and having the wheel in your own hands inspire you.

You know how to overcome barriers, never rest on what you have achieved, find the right goal and the right path, and carry what you start through to victory. Your leadership talent shows in the ability to build a team, run processes, lead people and change their outlook. You are a motivator and inspire others to feats and changes. You also have the ability to warn of dangers.

Purpose

A seven in the purpose makes you an example of an active and progressive way of life. Your task is to inspire people to carry out the plans they have made and to hold leading positions. In the planetary purpose this is the very strong energy of the Winner, which always needs a goal.

You need to throw yourself into every kind of activity life offers and to be at the centre of attention. The obstacle is an inability to set clear goals and move towards them without losing enthusiasm. You need to work on this and remember that you are the one steering your life.

Family task

A seven in the ancestral lines speaks of a programme of war in the family. Among your ancestors there were people who fought, or someone who suffered in an accident or in warfare, lived through defeat and physical limitation. Passed down the line are unfulfilment in society, a loss of bearings in life and trouble on the road.

The family line held warriors, winners, conquerors, gangs, pirates. Relatives may also have fought each other. In the minus the programme brings belligerence, aggression, selfishness, brazenness and pushiness, reaching the goal at any cost and violating other people's boundaries. Its other side is weakness of character, laziness, an absence of any movement, travel or change, a loss of your own interests and goals, and difficulty finishing things. Road accidents belong here too.

Parent and child karma

A seven in the parent-child channel speaks of a struggle for power between parents and children. Your parents may have violated your personal boundaries, shown aggression and not let you make your own decisions. The task of these relationships is to be loyal, patient and non-aggressive, and to reach goals by peaceful means.

Your parents suppressed your "power" and bent everything their own way. Resentment remains over the aggressive intrusion into your personal space: diaries, your room, your relationships. Over competition, jealousy and rivalry, including a parent's envy of the child's youth and success. Over self-assertion and humiliation in the spirit of "you are nobody here, nothing here is yours". Over the demand to carry out orders at once, over conflicts and energy vampirism, and over being hindered from reaching your goals and moving on your own.

Arcana of a year of life

A year under the seventh energy can bring career changes and the start of a new project. It is a time for trips and travel.

The seventh energy in an age point comes with changes at work, the launch of a new venture and the road.

In a child

A child with the seventh energy is very active and restless, as if there were a spare battery inside them. They often take the lead and run the group in order to carry out their own ideas.

If this energy is suppressed with words like "stop running around, sit down", it builds up. The child starts to act aggressively and show negative emotions. If you behave aggressively towards them, forbid things and push by force, they too will charge ahead and start getting what they want through aggression.
