Formative cycle 7: the meaning
July, the seventh month, leads to this cycle.
You learned to think for yourself and to trust your own view of things. It evokes a childhood in which inner life takes up a great deal of room: a hideout at the back of the yard, a library visited more than the playground, questions put to adults about why things are the way they are. Sometimes, a feeling of being out of step with children your age.
This climate shapes a critical mind and a real capacity for concentration. Studies that require digging into a subject suit you well: science, philosophy, languages, research. You like to understand for yourself rather than take someone’s word for it, and you form personal convictions early.
The difficulty lies in sharing. Saying what you feel, joining a group, asking for help when you are stuck: all of this can remain awkward. Friendships are few but deep, and you sometimes have trouble letting someone get close.
The 7 of youth cultivates the gaze; the 7 of working life, later on, turns it into recognized expertise.
A tip
Share a subject you have been passionate about for a long time with someone you trust.
Let them ask questions, without trying to give a perfect answer, and also say what this subject makes you feel.
