Meaning & Etymology
Greek Mythology
Possibly derived from Greek τιθημι (tithemi) meaning "to set, to place". Theseus was a heroic king of Athens in Greek mythology. He was the son of Aethra, either by Aegeus or by the god Poseidon. According to legend, every seven years the Cretan king Minos demanded that Athens supply Crete with seven boys and seven girls to be devoured by the Minotaur, a half-bull creature that was the son of Minos's wife Pasiphaë. Theseus volunteered to go in place of one of these youths in order to slay the Minotaur in the Labyrinth where it lived. He succeeded with the help of Minos's daughter Ariadne, who provided him with a sword and a roll of string so he could find his way out of the maze.

IntrospectiveAnalyticalSpiritualIntuitivePrivateIntellectual
Life Path 7 is governed by Neptune — the planet of mysticism, illusion, spiritual depth, and the dissolution of boundaries between the self and the infinite. The vibration of 7 is the energy of the seeker: the consciousness that refuses to accept surface appearances and insists on finding the truth beneath every phenomenon, the meaning behind every event, the pattern within every apparent chaos. Seven is the most introspective and spiritually oriented number in the primary spectrum — the number of the mystic, the philosopher, the scientist of the inner world. Life Path 7s are drawn to solitude not because they are antisocial but because the interior world is where their real work takes place, and the noise of ordinary social interaction often interrupts that work.
