Juan Manuel Santos
president of Colombia from 2010 to 2018
The numbers
2 + 5 = 7
Lo Shu grid
Missing: 3, 4, 6. Present digits repeat to show how many times they occur.
Life path 7 — The Seeker
Seven is the analyst and the mystic at once — the tradition assigns it both, and does not treat that as a contradiction. It is read as the number of depth, solitude and the refusal to accept a surface explanation. Its difficulty is distance: the withdrawal that makes the thinking possible is read as coldness by everyone outside it, and 7 is described as being misunderstood more often than it is disliked.
Complete lines
Line of Feeling
A complete line in the grid.
Line of Ambition
The 7-8-9 column complete. Read as drive that has both the wish and the machinery — the traditional marker of someone who converts intention into position.
Line of Resolve
The 1-5-9 diagonal complete. Read as determination that survives the middle of a project, when the initial energy has gone and the result is not yet visible.
Repeated numbers
1 appears 3 times
Concentrated self-direction. Read as conviction that does not need external agreement — and does not always seek it.
What is missing
Missing 3
Read as difficulty getting the inner picture out — the thought is complete, the expression lags. Often described in people whose written voice is far stronger than their spoken one.
Missing 4
Read as impatience with structure and maintenance. Associated with starting well and leaving the scaffolding to someone else.
Missing 6
Read as a complicated relationship with obligation — either avoiding it or over-shouldering it, rarely a settled middle.
Vedic — Ank Jyotish
Moolank 1 comes from the day of the month alone; Bhagyank 7 from the whole date. They differ, which is the ordinary case — the two numbers answer different questions.
Surya
The Sun. Authority, visibility, the self as centre. Read as leadership that is seen.
Bhagyank uses the same arithmetic as the Western life path, so the two will always agree. That is not two traditions confirming each other — it is one calculation under two names.
In their words
This (extrajudicial killings of thousands of people committed by Military Forces of Colombia partly during Santo's term as defensee minister) should never have happened. I recognize that and ask forgiveness from all the mothers and their families, victims of this horror, from the depths of my soul.
There will be no base in Colombia. That has already been ruled out. It has been ruled out by the United States, and it has been ruled out by us.
For those who dislike—or find cruel—a good bullfight or a good cockfight, the solution is very simple: don't go. But what would the Cali Fair be without bullfights, or the Vallenato Festival without cockfights? And for heaven's sake, let's stop legislating as if we lived in Denmark.
As has rightly been said, the approval of the constitutional reform allowing for the immediate re-election of the President radically changes the political landscape. The first thing to acknowledge is that those of us who opposed re-election lost in a fair contest. There is no point in tearing our garments or weeping; in democracy, as in life, one must know how to lose.
