7s love deeply and generally seek to see the best in people … to seek out their inner-light. As 7s can be quite colourful, eccentric and reclusive at times, an ideal partner would be someone who is happy to go along with their flights of fancy or who are prepared and will for their partners to indulge in their esoteric interests and adventures whilst they pursue other aspirations. Those influenced by number 7 can sometimes seem aloof, uncaring, selfish and/or preoccupied with their own interests and ideals, and can get caught up in things that intrigue them, unable to grasp why everyone else isn’t as in awe as they are. Their ideal partner may be one who is happy to just nod and smile then leave them to their own devices. Within a love relationship, an ideal partner for the 7 energy is someone who is interesting, intelligent, intriguing and analytical as 7s love learning new things and bouncing new ideas and theories with others. They are open to others’ opinions, but are inclined to pursue their own line of ideology. 7s sometimes find personal relationships hard to maintain as intimacy can be difficult. NUMBER 8 IN RELATIONSHIPS Number 8s have a fear of expressing their emotions as they are frightened of rejection and being hurt. Anyone involved with a number 8 will need to initiate any discussions about love or commitment as number 8s will never expose themselves emotionally if they are unsure of the response they may receive. Relationships can be tumultuous as part of 8s life/karmic lessons relate to establishing what they do and what they do not want in their lives. Number 8s must often experience a line of failed romantic relationships in order to learn the lessons that will hold them in good stead throughout the remainder of their lives. This is most often recognised and appreciated in time and with clear hindsight. Early in life 8s will not be overly concerned with romance or relationships but are more likely to focus their attentions on their ambitions in other areas of their lives. If number 8s do form relationships in their youth they should try to set aside time to spend with their partners in formulating their plans and ambitions for the future.
