Capricorn Rising provides you, Ashley, with discipline, systematic endeavor, and the ability to work hard. Your pragmatism, efficiency, and diligence in everything you do allow you to achieve your goals, and marks you as very responsible and reliable. However, your true forte lies in your admirable patience. Self-critical, you are unyielding and persistent when faced with hardship, and are not likely to give up, until you’ve completed your project!

You are a rather serious person, who seems to mask hard determination and self-will under your joyful and friendly facade. You priorities are to be successful in your career, to make a good living for yourself and your family, and to build a safe harbor where you can take a break from the problems of everyday life.

Since you don’t feel a strong need to confide in other people, others see you as fairly reserved, and not very talkative. Your austere and sometimes brooding attitude acts as a protective wall, to create privacy and your own sacred space. Even if others don’t see it right away, you have a very precious heart, and a good track record of being an extremely loyal and committed friend and lover.

Your Life-Path number is probably the most influential numerological aspect to be considered, Ashley, and represents who you are at the time of birth. It indicates specific traits and will likely be active and influential throughout your lifetime. It is the overall number that determines much of what will be important to you and how you will handle things as they come.

If your Life-Path number is SEVEN, depth of thinking and the ability to gain knowledge from most everything will be something you’ve experienced since an early age. SEVEN is considered the ‘spiritual’ number and such qualities as intuition will be prominent.

Those with a SEVEN Life-Path are usually peaceful and affectionate. You may not have many friends as a SEVEN, but the ones you do have will be for life. You’re a compassionate and caring friend. As a SEVEN, you will likely be able to sense deception from others quickly and you’re not likely to be wrong. A balance between time with others and private time taken to be alone with your thoughts and dreams is essential.

It is common for SEVENS to be seen as aloof due to their selective socializing and required time alone. If the truth be told, many SEVENS feel a sense of insecurity. This may be because much of a SEVENS ‘reality’ is not tangible. You will rely heavily on instincts and intuition. At times this insecurity can lead to pessimism or loneliness. Mood swings are also not uncommon.
