Everyday Themes in the Minor Seven
Minor Sevens are expressive, enthusiastic, likely to be quietly amused by the odd and outlandish, never far from outbursts of passion or anger (usually directed at the selfish or parsimonious). In general they seem charming and poised, though in their early years, they tend to have no preferred direction in life or even a sense of identity, and may live rashly and for excitement. Others may perceive them as unpredictable and wayward, though somewhat unflappable. The stresses they react to are deeper than the transient worries of everyday life. The Minor 7 gives vision to the Major and an ability to express itself.
As a fertile Minor, 7 protects the Major from being easily damaged by events, although it can also distract the individual and squander potential. Those with the Minor 7 are usually slower to react than you might expect, holding back a response as they think beyond the moment, and looking for a more long-lasting path. So too, they may have inertia to them and remain in a state that others might call complacent. But they will borrow where they need to and use any tool to get moving along road to a solution when it finally becomes necessary. They move, however well disguised their actions, step by planned step. Minor Sevens can be dissemblers, throwing up a smoke screen of humour and distraction while beneath they get on with the issues important to them.
Minor Sevens will retain many features of youth and childhood into adult life. As children they will create, or delight in hearing and reading about, fantasy worlds. Immersion in these dream worlds will give them great pleasure, and act as rehearsals for real life. They imitate adult behaviour without really knowing what it lies behind it, and think they are ready for the adult world early in life. Having finally reached this long desired state, they may find its responsibilities boring and inappropriate. They may try to avoid taking up obligations with the excuse that they do not fully understand them.
In their youth, Minor Sevens can have a Svengali-type influence on younger and more innocent members of their circle, but as they grow older they may have many and deep crushes and be drawn to form relationships with older, Svengali-type figures themselves. Or they can become passionate fans. They easily pick up interesting elements from other people's lifestyles, and they may have heroes, most likely from the past, that they will defend with fervour, and who might help determine the Minor Seven's ambitions. Their choice of further study will probably be influenced by individuals they admire, possibly their parents. They act as if protected by some greater power, and seem to be able to get away with escapades.
Minor Sevens like to keep good, long friendships: the type of friendship that can be picked up again after any gap, an underlying bond that just is. They search for depth of understanding in a good friendship, but may be deceived by superficial familiarity in an acquaintance. They are believers, and are less taken in by clever deceptions than self-deceiving.
A Major with a The Minor 7 can readily express sentimentality to dominate a situation. Minor Sevens often react to situations with sentiment in order to avoid making decisions when they feel the tide of events should be doing it and they may panic when a task seems to be coming to an end. They feel exposed, and cannot help wondering if this was the end they really wanted. Minor Sevens try to defuse stressful situations with humour, if they cannot walk away. They do not like to battle on other people's turf and according to other people's rules. Minor Sevens think of themselves as affected by luck or destiny and like to gamble on their good intuitions, which may benefit or, just as easily, threaten the success of their work.
