Life Path 17: Its Meaning and Significance
Your life path vibration is 17 - written in numerology as 17/8. This number gives you an energy of 'celebrity' and 'stardom'. You will have an innate ability to stand on a stage, to shine like a star and to tap into the deep archetypal currents of art and beauty and communicate these aspects to humanity.
1 and 7 add up to 8, which is the primary energy in 17/8 and the number of Saturn.
With its rings and a mysterious hexagon at its north pole, Saturn is one of the more eccentric planets. Saturn resonates with the earth element and was the Roman god of the harvest - called Kronos by the Greeks, a god who ruled in the early days when everyone lived in harmony with nature.
The number 8 is a strong personality with a high survival rate and the ability to never give up in the face of hardship. As an 8 you are focused, ambitious and have a high intellect. The 8 can typically plan everything in their mind before executing the plan in real life.
Saturn is the planet of fate and karma, so you may have faced many difficulties and obstacles in life. But this has also given you tremendous perseverance to overcome any challenge.
The symbol of the number 8 is the same as the symbol of infinity, and so the number 8 resonates with eternity. Many 8s are remembered after their death.
As an 8, you can be both passionate, well-organised and intensely spiritual or driven by a higher purpose. 8s naturally become philosophers, artists, freedom fighters, religious leaders, judges, politicians or administrators.
8s in balance combine their spirituality with a practical sense, whereas an 8 in imbalance is either exclusively in the upper or lower part of the 8 - neglecting either the spiritual or the material side of life. This can make the 8 overly materialistic or overly mental or spiritual like an imbalanced 7.
Like Saturn, 8s are unique and eccentric. They go their own way and are not influenced by what others think of them.
Inside, they can feel misunderstood and lonely, and often want to be alone. They see it as a weakness to ask for help and hide their feelings from others, who may see them as cold and cynical. But they have a big heart and high moral values, and once they feel respected they will do anything for others.
An 8 in balance is warm, passionate, at peace with themselves, honest and loyal.
When the 8 energy is weak, the 8 becomes insecure about everything and everyone and is afraid to show who they really are. They don't trust anyone and end up letting everyone down. They are also disturbed by negative energies which weaken their judgement.
When the energy of the 8 is too strong, the 8 becomes irascible, impatient and verbally aggressive. They become brash and selfish with their agendas and can be cold-blooded, power-hungry people.
The 17/8 variant of the 8 - THE STAR
The 17/8 variant of the 8 is the most beautiful and spiritually minded of the 8's.
The symbolism of the number 17/8 is that the chakras are in full balance and this has a positive effect on the body so that you have a proper metabolism and a healthy hormonal balance. The 1 in 17/8 is the sun shining on the 7 chakras, creating the number 8, the number of eternal balance.
Artistic and intuitive
The number 17 helps you to express the collective archetypal human emotions through art and communication. You will also have an exceptionally awakened intuition - the greatest of all the numbers.
Talented with a high intellect
Because of your awakened intuition and access to the archetypal levels, you know how to attract new knowledge without having to work so hard for it. You can pick up new skills and receive new knowledge extremely quickly through a process of transference where you vibrate with the knowledge and download it from the macrocosm into your microcosm.
People with 17/8 are therefore often very talented and knowledgeable. It is also a number of high intellect and all-round intelligence, combining practical sense with deep intuition and logical thinking. Many artists and actors have the number 17/8.
The Number of Eternity
As we mentioned earlier, the number 8 is the number of eternity, also known as the number of eternal life. In the number 17 this is expressed by the fact that you have a unique charisma that people notice and will always remember you for.
When you walk into a room, you light it up so that people notice you.
When you express yourself through words, writing or art, you become a channel of archetypal emotions that affect people on a deep level. You touch people directly in the heart, and it is said that you will be remembered by many - even after death.
Imbalanced tendencies
If the number 17 is unbalanced by unbalanced numbers in the chart, it becomes AFRAID of the spotlight.
You could also develop hormonal imbalances, problems with your metabolism and gain too much weight - or lose it.
As a 17, you are easily seen and noticed - but this can also be in a negative way.
You can also be easily irritated by small things. When we study the number 17 in the diamond, we notice that there are two numbers 15/6 in the number 17. This gives the number 17 considerable charisma and access to parallel astral worlds, as the number 15 has - but it can also give many of the negative qualities of the number 15 - for example an extreme hypersensitivity that makes the number 15 freak out over small things, and even a tendency for the number 17 to become manipulative.
Negative spotlight
The unbalanced 17 can have a very ambivalent relationship with the spotlight. On the one hand you may be good and natural on stage - but at the same time you have a resistance to it.
You can also be very quick to take the blame for things because you're the first person everyone notices. For example, as a child you may have had the experience of being scolded by your teacher for something you didn't do, just because you were the one everyone noticed or had in mind.
A karma number
The karmic number 17/8 is such a powerful number that it should only appear once in your horoscope! You have 17 as your life path number, but if you have it elsewhere in your chart, the energy of 17 becomes too powerful and possibly overwhelming.
Spotlight allergy
If you have too many 17/8's in your chart, you may develop something called "spotlight allergy". This means that you are allergic to being visible to other people - for example, being on stage, being in the spotlight, talking in front of others, being photographed and even showing your face.
In severe cases, 17/8 may avoid social gatherings where there is a risk of being in the limelight. It may also hate having a Facebook profile where private information can suddenly be revealed. The 17/8 may also wish to have a secret address and protect themselves by using a pseudonym.
Shy 17/8 celebrities
Many 17/8 artists and actors find special ways to share their art without anyone knowing who they are, such as using a pseudonym or performing in disguise. For example, the singer Sia performs with her back to the audience and has the number 17/8 twice in her chart.
The singer Adele is so afraid of the audience that she has left the stage through one of the exits several times and has even thrown up due to stage fright. She has 17/8 in both her centres.
One of the best examples is probably Elvis Presley, who had 17/8 3 times in his numerological chart and was known for having to dope himself to be able to go on stage - which eventually led to his death (pill overdose).
CHEIRO and other sources
The famous Chaldean numerologist Cheiro writes: "This is a highly spiritual number and is expressed in symbolism by the 8-pointed Star of Venus, a symbol of peace and love. It is also called the "Star of the Magi" and expresses that the person it represents has risen in spirit above the trials and difficulties of his life or career. It is considered a number of immortality and that the person's name will live after them. It is a lucky number when it is associated with future events, provided it is not associated with the single numbers of fours and eights. "
The Vedic numerology scriptures say that the number 17 will face many challenges in life, but through hard work you will overcome all obstacles and achieve celebrity status and wealth and be remembered forever.
