The numbers
2 + 5 = 7
Lo Shu grid
Missing: 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 Expression
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.
Line of Sensitivity
The 3-5-7 diagonal complete. Read as emotional and intuitive range — the line practitioners associate with artists and with people who register what is unsaid.
Repeated numbers
2 appears 3 times
Concentrated sensitivity. Read as perception so continuous it becomes hard to switch off.
What is missing
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 2 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.
Chandra
The Moon. Mind, mood, reflection. Read as receptivity and changeability.
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
Nobody thinks the United States went to strike against Iraq in order to gain land or water or oil. Nobody thinks that America has any ambitions about real estate...In the 20th century, the American boys went to fight in two world wars. Many of them lost their lives. The United States won the wars, won the land — but you gave back every piece of it. America didn't keep anything out of her victories for herself. You gave back Japan, an improved Japan; you gave back Germany, an improved Germany...And today, I do not believe there is any serious person on earth who thinks the United States...has any egoistic or material purposes in the war against Iraq. The reason is, for this strike, that you cannot let the world run wild.
Until the Yom Kippur War, in 1973, until then Israel didn't have a chance but to fight for her life. We were attacked five times, outgunned, outnumbered, on a small piece of land, and our main challenge was to remain alive.
Optimists and pessimists die the same way. They just live differently. I prefer to live as an optimist.
The borders will be based on 1967, with the required security modifications. If we take a certain percentage of the Palestinian land, we will compensate them with land. We will not rob their land. Sovereignty yes, but no one would threaten this Palestinian state, and therefore the Palestinians also agree that it can be demilitarized. When the threats on Israel would also cease, I hope that Israel could be demilitarized too.
Iran is a great problem, but not necessarily a great country. In fact, I think it is a very weak country.
The president of Iran should remember that Iran can also be wiped off the map.
