Quote:

When the 7 moves in the healthy direction, she moves to 5, which is the scientist, the conservator. The "sin" of the 7 is gluttony-- buying things, eating things, drinking too much, and probably getting drunk on experiences, too. The 5 is more conservative, reserved, more analytical. Interesting that cobra actually represents your positive direction, in a theoretical sort of way.

The negative direction for the 7 is 1, and as I said above, the downside of the 1 is the person who is always right, the my-way-or-the-highway typeteresting that the 1 is a negative direction for you but a positive direction for your H.







I can see how this might be true because I would say (or other's might tell me ) that my worst (most defensive) trait is arrogance and my best (most undefended) trait is curiousity.

The fact that my defended unhealthy tendencies are in the same direction as my H's healthy tendencies is probably why he says things to me like "You are blocking my male energy.". It's also probably the case that the fact that the "goody-two-shoes" part of my personality is my unhealthy side is what is causing me to feel very confused about what I should do in various situations because the "good" or "right" thing to do for me isn't necessarily the "healthy" or "high-functioning" thing for me to do.
