Reads as
An 8 with the 7's depth — the reputation that outlives
Seventeen reduces to 8, and the tradition reads it as the most favourable of the Saturn birthdays — the 1's drive and the 7's depth giving the 8 both a direction and a reason. Seventeenth-borns tend to build something substantial in a field they genuinely understand.
The classical association is with immortality of reputation: 17 is read as the number whose work outlives it. It still arrives on Saturn's schedule, which is to say late, and seventeenth-borns are advised to plan for the second half rather than the first.
