Energy 7: The Chariot in The soule code

In the Destiny Matrix, energy 7 is the Chariot, the energy of movement and of getting somewhere. It stands for drive, direction and the determination to win. A strong 7 in a chart often belongs to someone who cannot sit still for long, who needs a goal and who is happiest when the road is open.

The tarot Chariot shows a figure in a carriage pulled by two sphinxes, one dark and one light, with no reins in his hands. He steers by will alone. The picture says that opposing forces can be made to pull in the same direction, and that discipline is what makes it possible. This is the heart of energy 7.

Strengths of energy 7

The Chariot has momentum. Once a goal is clear, it organizes its energy, ignores distraction and keeps going when others tire. It copes well with competition and with change of place or pace.

• Setting a goal and reaching it
• Handling travel, deadlines and busy periods
• Keeping calm and focused under pressure
• Bringing contradictory demands under one clear direction

The shadow side

Speed is not the same as direction. When the 7 is out of balance it rushes, runs over people on the way and measures itself only by wins. It may confuse being busy with being on the right road.

• Pushing forward without checking where it leads
• Turning every conversation into a contest
• Ignoring tiredness until the body stops
• Finding it hard to be still or to be satisfied

Energy 7 in relationships

A 7 is passionate and active in love, and often attracted to people who share a goal or an adventure. Partners enjoy the energy and may feel left behind. The lesson in love is to slow down, to listen all the way to the end of a sentence and to remember that a partner is not a destination.

Energy 7 and money

The Chariot earns well when it is in motion: sales, logistics, sport, competitive fields, anything with targets and results. Income follows effort and visible wins. The money lesson of the 7 is to plan the finish line as well as the race, and to stop for a moment to count what has been gained.

Energy 7 in each position of your chart

• As your personality, you seem energetic and determined. People expect you to get things done.
• As your talent, you were born with drive and the knack of finishing under pressure.
• As your material task, you learn about work and money through effort, travel and competition.
• As your karmic task, the lesson is to steer instead of simply speeding, and to choose the goal consciously.
• As your core, you feel at home when you are heading somewhere that matters to you.
• In your karmic tail, there is an old pattern of forcing results or of running away. Practice means direction and rest.
• As your love line, you need a partner who matches your pace or who calmly slows it down.
• As your money channel, income rises with focused effort. Set a target and a date.

Energy 7 as your purpose by age

• As your personal purpose, from about 20 to 40, you find yourself by moving: new places, new challenges, a chosen goal.
• As your social purpose, from 40 to 60, you lead others toward a result and learn to share the wheel.
• As your spiritual purpose, after 60, victory becomes inner: arriving at peace with the road you took.

Signs it is in balance, and signs it is not

• In balance: you have a clear goal, you rest on purpose and you celebrate arrivals.
• In balance: you can slow down for a person without feeling you are losing.
• Out of balance: you are always late, always rushing and always on the next thing.
• Out of balance: you cannot say what you are running toward.

How to work with energy 7

• Write down the one goal you are really after this year, and drop two things that do not serve it.
• Schedule a day without a target every week.
• Ask yourself, before you argue, what you would gain by winning.
• When you finish something, stop and mark it before starting the next.
