Obviously 4 and 7 are not the same number. They don't match like they would if they were identical. However, the numerology essence of 4 and 7 have a somewhat compatible resonance. See the compatible numbers page for more information about compatible numerology numbers.

The name number and the birth date number are the two most important numbers in numerology. Other numbers affect the influence of those two numbers. The name and birth date numbers are the framework within which the other numerology numbers resonate.

As strange as it may seem, the more compatible the name and birth date numbers, the narrower the life and the less variety of experiences. Conversely, the more dissonance between the name and birth numbers, the more likely the person is to have a broad variety of experience and learning.

See the numerology name and birth date compatibility article for an explanation.
