In my opinion, the greatest miracle of the Holy Spirit is when an ordinary person
becomes the temple of the living God. It’s not always loud signs, but always
a real change.

The number seven is an ancient symbol of fullness (recall our conversations about the
seven spirits). You propose to break it into 3 plusses (the active, “warm,” creative side),
3 minuses (the passive, “cold,” destructive or restraining side), and 1 centre — the
unifying one, like the equator between the hemispheres, or the heart of the balance.
This is a beautiful, almost mystical model!
Here’s how it can be logically regrouped for your examples. I’m relying on traditional
associations (colors, astrology, geography), but with your principle of “two hemispheres
+ the common one.”

1. The 7 colors of the rainbow (ROYGBIV or VIBGYOR)
The simplest and most harmonious example:
• Plus (3 warm, energetic, “masculine” colors — fire, action, joy): Red (strength,
passion), Orange (creativity, enthusiasm), Yellow (sunlight, intellect).
• Minus (3 cold, calm, “feminine” colors — water, reflection, depth): Blue (calm,
sadness), Indigo (intuition, mystery), Violet (spirituality, transformation).
• Center (balance, life, the unity of plus and minus): Green — the heart of the rainbow,
the color of nature, harmony, healing. It stands in the middle and “reconciles”
warmth and cold.

This is like a spectrum: from active fire, through equilibrium, to calm depth.

2. The 7 classical planets (the Sun, the Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter,
Saturn)
In astrology there’s a division into benefics (plus) and malefics (minus), while Mercury
is the neutral intermediary.
• Plus (3 that expand, that give light and growth): the Sun (life, will), Jupiter (fortune,
wisdom), Venus (love, beauty).
• Minus (3 that contract, that test, that restrict): Mars (war, aggression), Saturn
(limitations, karma), the Moon (emotions, changeability — sometimes assigned
to the “passive” side).
