The Seventeenth Code (17) of the Human Destiny Matrix: The Star

Decoding the seventeenth code in the Destiny Matrix is essential for identifying whether the energy it holds manifests in a positive or negative form. It also helps clarify one’s life purpose and ways to achieve it, uncover hidden talents and abilities, strengthen personal relationships, and even guide you towards your ideal partner. The primary goal is to develop one’s strengths while addressing and transforming weaknesses.

Meaning of the Seventeenth Major Arcanum

In both the Destiny Matrix and Tarot, the seventeenth Arcanum is known as The Star. This symbol denotes individuals born under this energy as unique and extraordinary. These are not conventional people — they’re distinctly creative, artistic personalities with a romantic worldview. They don’t merely appreciate art in all its forms; more often than not, they are actively immersed in the creative world themselves — as artists, designers, writers, actors, photographers, or other creatively driven professionals.

To gain a complete understanding of someone born under the influence of the seventeenth Arcanum, it’s necessary to determine whether their energy is positive or negative.

Positive Seventeenth Energy

Individuals with positive seventeenth energy in their Destiny Matrix are typically characterised by the following traits:

• Unconventionality — they stand out both in appearance and behaviour.
• Charisma and originality.
• Vivid imagination.
• Creative thinking.
• Highly developed intuition.
• Perseverance and determination.

When this energy is in its positive aspect, it gifts people with optimism, a sense of love and harmony, and an abundance of talents and abilities. Their personalities tend to be light-hearted and upbeat.

People are naturally drawn to those with seventeenth energy — they’re cheerful, kind, and charming. They enjoy being the centre of attention, diving into social events, and surrounding themselves with fun and excitement.

Materially, they tend to do well when pursuing careers they are passionate about. Many of them also possess a natural sensitivity or even psychic abilities.

Negative Seventeenth Energy

Those with negative seventeenth energy in their Destiny Matrix may display the following tendencies:

• Lack of independence.
• Apathy.
• Low self-confidence.
• Pridefulness.
• A sense of superiority and arrogance.

This energy can manifest in two starkly opposite behavioural extremes. Due to their deep concern about others’ opinions, they may react painfully to criticism. They might either withdraw into themselves and become despondent, or lash out in defiance, adopting an aggressive stance of “attack is the best form of defence.”

Their lives often become a whirlwind of social events, parties, and distractions, which can strain personal relationships and sabotage professional progress. When these individuals become overconfident, they may suffer from a “celebrity complex” — a delusion of grandeur that eventually stifles their creativity and erodes their self-belief.

How to Work Through the Seventeenth Major Arcanum in the Destiny Matrix

Processing the negative aspect of the seventeenth energy involves recognising personal flaws, acknowledging mistakes, and addressing their consequences. Those influenced by this Arcanum are tasked with:

Discovering their unique talent, cultivating it, and establishing themselves as a creative force. The ultimate aim is to become a recognised professional, earning deserved praise and recognition.

Negative energy may bring about indecision and confusion. It is vital for such individuals to focus on their strongest abilities as artists or creative beings rather than scattering their energy. Mistakes should be used as learning experiences, and life’s challenges as opportunities for growth.

It’s important to understand that imagination and self-belief alone are not enough to achieve lasting success. A brief moment in the spotlight can easily be followed by a downfall. True transformation of negative seventeenth energy lies in consistent effort and devotion to one’s life path.

Those influenced by this Arcanum in its negative form should avoid recklessness and a hedonistic lifestyle. They must monitor their health and be mindful of who they allow into their close circle. After all, burning brightly all the time can lead to quick burnout. To prevent this, they should allow themselves time to rest — even if it means stepping away from the spotlight. A period of quiet, focused on inner growth and healing, is necessary — but it mustn’t drag on indefinitely, or it could lead to depression.
