Personality number
7
Numbers describe tendencies in a symbolic tradition. They cannot decide health, money, law, marriage or children.
About this number
The letter Y matters most on this page, because Taylor in 1926 gives G, P and Y the value 7. None of the books in these sources states a rule for when Y is a vowel, and their worked examples, such as Cheasley's for Sylvester in 1916, count it as a consonant. The calculator lets you choose, and the answer can change.
Sara Lang shows a sum with no Y in it: S and R make 10 and reduce to 1, L, N and G make 15 and reduce to 6, and 1 plus 6 makes 7. Cheasley also notes that this number is drawn to dim lights, soft colors and nature, tastes that an observer can actually see. Walton in 1914 says it is conservative and retired.
Numerology books of the modern popular kind describe a Personality of 7 as a reserved, private first impression that can seem hard to read. Balliett's 1905 image of the pack on the back, with its secrets, is an older picture of the same reserve.
