| Key number compatibility
1 and 1
Two people with a strong desire to lead combined with
a strong want of independence. Two 1s in a relationship
understand and accept each other better than any other
number can understand the 1. The match can get dicey
when both start to compete. But for the most par, it
is one filled with excitement and activity.
1 and 2
Very different people. The 1 is best equipped to be
the breadwinner, and the 2 will be the one to feather
the nest and keep the warmth of romance alive. The 1
must avoid being distracted and never forget how important
attention is for the 2 partner.
1 and 3
Very lively couple, that seems to enjoy life and each
other. The 3 is good at acknowledging the 1 accomplishments
and stroking the ego. The 3 provides the ideas and the
1 provides the push, so this couple can cover a lot
of ground. But neither handles criticism very well.
1 and 4
Very tough. The 1's need to make things happen now,
frustrates the meticulous 4. Opposites in many ways,
these two should not expect easy compromise. If they
ever can accept one another for who they are, their
respective strengths will make a solid relationship.
1 and 5
Very compatible. Both of these numbers like to have
a lot of freedom in a relationship. Independence is
paramount for each. They may be so busy with their own
"thing" that time together is limited, very
special, and often exciting. Most serious threat is
when either tries to impose his or her will on the other.
1 and 6
A power struggle waiting to happen. The 6 wants and
needs a caretaker. The 1 has an absolute need to be
independent and unrestrained. This can be a successful
pairing only if both can give each other the support
they both need.
1 and 7
Very different energies which blend nicely. The 7 provides
wise insights while the 1 becomes a needed motivator.
Key is to understand the tendencies. The 1 can gets
too busy with the outer world and the 7 can be too much
into his/her own world to be there for the other. Neither
should take this absence personally.
1 and 8
A good match for business, but from the love angle it
is questionable at best. Both are so assertive and demanding,
that expectations can far exceed reality. Negative feedback
from either will be deadly in this pairing. Success
depends on an open and mutual willingness to compromise
and limit demands.
1 and 9
The 9 brings a selflessness to the relationship which
allows the 1 to operate in an environment that is understanding
and smooth flowing. The 1 will have to learn to share
the partner, who is inclined to extend a giving nature
outside the home. Trouble in this partnership will generally
come from the 9s difficulty in tolerating the 1's individualistic
behavior.
2 and 2
A great match. Experts at mediation, they have little
difficulty finding common ground on just about any issue.
But both must each remember how thin their own skin
is so as to not cause verbal injury to the other. Generally
this is not a problem because of their polite manner
and mutual respect.
2 and 3
Potentially very good partners. The 3 is always "on
stage" and full of life and social energy, while
the 2 is happy standing back and enjoying the show.
The 2 balances the needs of the 3 by providing a soothing
and calming influence.
2 and 4
A steady pairing resulting in comfort personified. When
it comes to home and family, the 4 is the ultimate builder
and provider. Security is 4's forte. Nothing is more
appealing to the 2 than home, hearth, and family. But
the 2 needs love to be shown and always physically apparent,
the 4 is sometimes not so demonstrative.
2 and 5
Two very different souls. The 2 needs family and an
ever present sense of being loved, the 5 needs total
freedom to pursue whatever appears on the horizon. These
two can provide a lot that may otherwise be missing,
but it won't be an easy road.
2 and 6
A good love match. The 6 ranks first in family while
the 2 tops the chart in love and caring. Still the pair
needs to watch as the 6 has a surprising need for approbation,
and 2's thin skin can suffer with the direct and demanding
approach that sometimes characterizes the 6. Considerations
of feelings is a must.
2 and 7
This is a couple that has some strong and dissimilar
needs. The 2's need for demonstrative love and 7's need
for a good deal of space and solitude make this a pairing
that will work only if both can stay tuned in to the
other's needs and be willing to cater to them at least
to some degree. Generally the 2 will have to find something
to occupy much of the time that would otherwise be devoted
to the mate.
2 and 8
Works usually very well because it is likely that each
has a clear vision of their role. The 8 is about the
outer world of business and attainment, the 2 takes
care of the family and can pamper the ego of their partner.
A pitfall in this relationship can occur if the 8 fails
to sufficiently value the labors of the 2. This is the
classic traditional family model, or in the case of
male 2, female 8, the classic male/female role reversal.
2 and 9
It can be a wonderful or not so wonderful relationship.
The 2 needs constant attention, and certainly the 9
is a caring individual. But the care the 9 naturally
possess is spread to all humanity and not focused enough
at home. The 9 is a natural leader and the 2 is a natural
follower, so there is always hope. The 9 needs to remember
that the 2 hates to be alone, and the 2 needs to know
that the 9's love will only stretch so far.
3 and 3
Wild and interesting with much creative and social potential.
No one has more fun than a pair of 3s who understand
and support one another. The pitfall of this relationship
comes when neither partner can hold on to reins of practical
everyday details.
3 and 4
Slightly difficult. The 3 will take each day as it comes,
while the 4 needs a definite plan far into the future.
If the two can ever figure out how to meet in the middle,
they will do a good job of balancing each other's shortcomings.
The 3 will show the 4 how to have fun while the 4 can
give the 3 a needed sense of security.
3 and 5
One of the most social combinations. The two will generally
find each other very interesting and their ability to
entertain will be high. Social opportunities, travel,
and numerous activities promise this relationship won't
get boring. Both are creative yet neither excels at
managing the budget, so everyday affairs can cause problems
sometimes.
3 and 6
Works well in most cases. The 3 is full of enthusiasm
and ideas, and the 6 provides the stability, support,
and encouragement that often makes this combination
an ideal team. The chemistry here is very strong and
durable. The challenge of this combination can come
in the form of 6 jealous feelings toward the oft flirtatious
3. Usually it will be the 6 who will have to learn to
deal with an inborn trait.
3 and 7
About as different as people get. The 3 wants to be
constantly on the go that the 7 will find intolerable.
The 7 needs solitude and can only take so much human
contact before retreating to the preferred peace and
quiet. Confrontation in this pairing never works well,
and it will be up to both to understand the long-term
need for compromise. The key to success here is open
dialog regarding wants, needs, and goals.
3 and 8
This is a combination that requires extra effort mostly
because of the departure of needs. The 8 needs goals
and authority to feel happy, and efforts focused here
leave the 3 without needed attention and stimulation.
The secret to success in this combination is frequent
getaways; periods when the 3 gets the 8 away from business
and relaxed enough to have some fun. This can sometimes
be a tough sale.
3 and 9
A wonderful combination of two people apt to keep each
other engaged in a variety of creative ways. Both like
to be on stage and both are interested in people. They
care about people and the 9 can be generous to a fault.
The 9 is the teacher and the 3 is the ever eager student.
Sharing experience is a never ending joy of this pairing.
The problem the couple faces is settling down, feathering
a nest, and keeping the bills paid. Even after they
are settled and set, romantic adventures will always
be important.
4 and 4
Solid and secure. For individuals who need to know that
the future is totally secure. These two will share goals
that they work for and nearly always achieve. Success
is measured by a sense that growth is continual and
this includes love and romance. The down side of this
pairing, is the sense that nothing is ever completely
okay. It's hard to relax and enjoy the moment and each
other. Nonetheless, there are few relationships destined
to be more stable than this one.
4 and 5
Challenge. The 4 and the 5 have different temperaments
and different ways of communicating. The 4 is very direct,
while the 5 is more diplomatic and indirect. 4s don't
like change, and 5s have to have it. To find success,
this couple will need to respect the difference and
pay attention to what is said and what is inferred.
4 and 6
Promise from the very beginning. Chances are the 6 will
want to take the lead in this relationship, and a secure
home and family are all that is needed to produce a
satisfying long-term situation. The challenge of this
relationship is compromise. Neither is very good at
this.
4 and 7
Driven by mutual need for security. It is loyal and
devoted, even it it may lack the fire and passion of
some combinations. The 4 is a natural provider of rock
solid security and home values. The 7 provides a quest
for continued mental development and adventure. The
combination makes life both secure and yet more interesting
for both.
4 and 8
A comfortable pairing because both parties understand
hard work and have a good head for business The 4 is
the cautious planner, while the 8 has a more grandiose
approach to endeavors. The only problem can be one of
finding the time to spend together in a quest for romance.
Yet this is a couple that knows how to build for the
future and develop a very secure relationship.
4 and 9
Successful pairings are rare. The 9 is far more social
and fosters deep humanitarian instincts. The 4 is focused
on the basics of building a secure and solid immediate
world. Awareness is needed of how different their approaches
are, and a willingness to accept. The 4 will certainly
appreciate the 9's knowledge and intelligence, and the
9 must likewise value the 4's ruthless consistency.
5 and 5
Very compatible couple. Few others will be as open to
the constant flow of new ideas and changes so common
in the 5. In this relationship, partners easily anticipate
what the other is thinking and going. And they also
have a sense for staying out of the way and accepting
the freewheeling lifestyle. 5s choosing to support one
another can do just about anything. The difficulty with
this pairing is focus, and there may be a problem handling
the mundane day-to-day affairs.
5 and 6
Needed great compromise. The 5 thrives on freedom and
space, and the 6 is noted for exerting control and nurturing
supervision. The 6 wants complete commitment, and the
5 is looking for adventure and new horizons. Both can
be good for each other if they find a way to meet somewhere
near the middle.
5 and 7
Generally very compatible The 7 values the time to be
alone and enjoy the world of study and reflection in
their private space. The 5 has plenty going on and appreciates
not having demands for attention being the paramount
feature of the relationship. Yet these two can get together
and find a stream of mutual interests to discuss and
explore.
5 and 8
Difficult. The 8 is used to being the boss and dominating
most situations. The 5 seeks freedom from any restraints.
The 8 is focused on success, particularly in a financial
sense, and the 5 doesn't even want to think about money.
It will take careful planning and compromise to make
this relationship work.
5 and 9
Hard to work. Both are apt to be in a constant state
of transition and change. In this regard they have much
in common and will generally find each other very interesting.
The compassion of the 9 and progressive thinking of
the 5 seems to blend well. Establishing a commitment
to security is a must.
6 and 6
Very compatible pairing. The 6 knows what's best for
their partner, so they do a good job of taking care
of each other, and a family is a must. Yet the 6 by
its nature wants the whole family under his/her thumb,
so the challenge may be in agreeing who is going to
be in charge. The circumstances of the relationship
will usually be able to sort this out.
6 and 7
Very challenging combination. The 6 is openly interested
in a permanent situation complete with a stable home
and family. With the secretive 7, it is hard to tell
what the goal might be, and only time will tell. Despite
the sexual attraction that may be present, this is a
very challenged combination. The 6 is too controlling,
and the 7 just isn't to be closely managed. The compromises
required in this relationship really bend and manipulate
the natural traits of both numbers.
6 and 8
Very positive and compatible. This is a couple with
big ideas, and their ideas are usually brought to reality
in grand fashion. The home will provide plenty of space
for family, work, and frequent entertaining of their
many friends. A down side to the relationship can occur
if the possessive 6 has to compete too much with the
business interests of the 8. Likewise, the 8 will be
frustrated when the demands at home cramp the executive
lifestyle and obligations.
6 and 9
Very compatible. In a family situation, the 6 is unsurpassed
as a manager, and the 9 is never reticent in heaping
praise in recognition. This often creates a mutual admiration
environment that provides a happy home for both. The
6 helps the 9 stay focused on details and common sense
issues, while the 9 broadens the 6's outlook and sense
of the world at large. The expansiveness of this pairing
may suggest the need to keep a close eye on the budget.
7 and 7
Very compatible pairing. With the right attitude, this
couple will find the interest to freely explore the
world together, or spend their days in happy solitude
together. Chances are you are on the same psychic wavelength,
so you will surely catch the signals as they flash by.
The downside of this pairing is the tendency to not
communicate, so an effort may have to be made to keep
the lines open and operating.
7 and 8
Seems to work well physically, but plagued with emotional
problems. The 8 has a tendency to dominate and control,
and the 7 is a very private person prone to resist attempts
to exert authority. The power of both numbers can result
in frequent verbal battles. Yet there is a stability
factor in the pairing that makes long-term success a
possibility if accommodations can be reached.
7 and 9
Relationship can go either way depending largely on
spiritual beliefs. Both have strong spiritual inclinations
and deeply held positions. However, these views of the
spiritual and God often divide along rigidly held lines.
In such cases, compromise is usually not an option.
When the spiritual positions are in harmony, this can
be a very compatible combination.
8 and 8
Full of passion and romance. Yet both partners will
be easily distracted by the events in their life as
goals and professional demands often supersede romantic
possibilities. Solid as the relationship probably is,
the couple may have a hard time communicating the depth
of feeling in either word or deed. Guard against competing
with one another, and getting caught up in schedules
and the demands of work. Make time for each other and
always focus on being equal partners.
8 and 9
A challenging combination in which two highly motivated
individuals - motivated in very different ways - find
it hard to accept the ways of the other. In general
the goals of the 9 are lofty and may have a humanitarian
bend, while the 8 seeks the reward that comes with development
of leadership and material success. To have much of
a chance, the 8 will have to appreciate the lessons
that can be learned from their generous partner. When
they are able to work as a team, this is a powerful
and often inspirational pair. Too often, however, the
combination fails to click.
9 and 9
Much promising. Usually engages two charismatic types
possessing much intellectual stimulation. The nature
of the 9 is selfless, so this combination usually faces
few challenges; each wanting to please the other and
always be there for each other. A relationship offering
the opportunity to grow, learn, and serve, this is often
an inspiring combination.
The Life Path Number
The Life Path is the sum of the birth date. This number
represents who you are at birth and the native traits
that you will carry with you through life. The most
important number that will be discussed here is your
Life Path number. The Life Path describes the nature
of this journey through life.
The Life Path number is established from the date of
birth. First, convert the month to a single number or
a master number (November stays 11 rather than 2). Then
convert the day of birth to a single digit or master
number. Next, add the total digits of year and reduce
this sum to a single digit or master number. The individual
digits representing the month, day, and year, be they
single digits or master numbers, are then added together,
as necessary to reduce the sum once again to a single
digit 1 through 9, or to the numerology "master
numbers," 11 or 22. These master numbers, as components
of the date or as a final result, are not reduced any
further.
Example: If a person was born on October 23, 1972 (10-23-1972),
add the month 10 (which is reduced to 1) to the day
23 (which is reduced to 5) plus the year 1972 (which
reduces to 19, then to 10 and finally to 1). Thus, the
total of the month, day, and year is 1+5+1. This date
is a 7 Lifepath.

1
The Life Path 1 drive in this life is characterized
by individualist desires, independence, and the need
for personal attainment. The purpose to be fulfilled
on this Life Path is that of becoming independent. This
is a two part learning process; first, you must learn
to stand on your own two feet and learn not to depend
on others. After you are indeed free and independent,
you must learn to be a leader. Many of our Generals,
corporate leaders, and political leaders are men and
women having the Life Path number 1. The 1 always has
the potential for greatness as a leader, but they may
fail as a follower. Many 1's spend most of their lives
shaking off their dependent side. When this happens,
there is little time left for enjoying the rewards to
be gained through independence. The individual with
Life Path 1 has to overcome an environment in which
it is very easy to be dependent, and difficult to be
independent.
A person with positive 1 traits abounds in creative
inspiration, and possesses the enthusiasm and drive
to accomplish a great deal. Your drive and potential
for action comes directly from the enormous depth of
strength you have. This is both the physical and inner
varieties of strength. With this strength comes utter
determination and the capability to lead. As a natural
leader you have a flair for taking charge of any situation.
Highly original, you may have talents as an inventor
or innovator of some sort. In any work that you choose,
your independent attitude can show through. You have
very strong personal needs and desires, and you feel
it is always necessary to follow your own convictions.
You are ambitious, and either understand or must learn
the need for aggressive action to promote yourself.
Although you may hide the fact for social reasons, you
are highly self-centered and demand to have your way
in most circumstances.
When the 1 Life Path person is not fully developed and
expressing the negative side of this number, the demeanor
may appear very dependent rather than independent. If
you are expressing this negative trait of the number
1, you are likely to be very dissatisfied with your
circumstances, and long for self-sufficiency. This is
defined as the weak or dependent side of the negative
1 Life Path. On the strong side of this negative curve,
the 1 energy can become too self-serving, selfish and
egotistical. Over-confidence and impatience mark this
individual.
2
The positive attributes of the number 2 Life Path produces
extremely sensitive people who generally have the most
delicate ability to be balanced and fair. You clearly
see the full spectrum of viewpoints in any argument
or situation, and because of this people may seek you
out to be a mediator. In this role you are able to settle
disputes with the most unbiased flair. There is sincere
concern for others; you think the best of people, and
want the best for them. You are totally honest and open
in thought, word and deed. You are apt to excel in any
for of group activity where your expertise in handling
and blending people can be used effectively. Manners
and tact mark your way with others at all times, and
you are not one to dominate a group or situation. You
are the master of compromise and of maintaining harmony
in your environment, never stooping to aggravate or
argue.
In many ways, you are a creature of habit and routine,
and you like to your path and pattern well worn and
familiar. A natural collector, you rarely dispose of
anything that may have a shred of value.
The negative side of the 2 is hardly a problem. The
biggest obstacle and difficulty you may face is that
of passivity and a state of apathy and lethargy. The
negative 2 can be very pessimistic and accomplishes
very little. Needless to say, the negative 2 doesn't
belong in the business world and even the more positive
individual with the 2 Life Path may prefer a more amiable
and less competitive environment.
3
The number 3 Life Path is one that emphasizes expression,
sociability, and creativity as the lesson to be learned
in this life. Here we are apt to find the entertainers
of the world, bright, effervescent, sparkling people
with very optimistic attitudes. A truly gifted 3 possesses
the most exceptional creative skills, normally in the
verbal realm, writing, speaking, acting, or similar
endeavors. The lesson to be learned with a 3 life path
is that of achievement through expression. The bright
side of this path stresses harmony, beauty and pleasures;
of sharing your creative talents with the world. Capturing
your capability in creative self-expression is the highest
level of attainment for this life path. The characteristics
of the 3 are warmth and friendliness, a good conversationalist,
social and open. A good conversationalist both from
the standpoint of being a delight to listen to, but
even more importantly, one who has the ability to listen
to others. Accordingly, the life path 3 produces individuals
who are always a welcome addition to any social situation
and know how to make others feel at home. The creative
imagination is present, if sometimes latent, as the
3 may not be moved to develop his talent. The approach
to life tends to be exceedingly positive, however, and
your disposition is almost surely sunny and open-hearted.
You effectively cope with all of the many setbacks that
occur in life and readily bounce back for more. It is
usually easy for you to deal with problems because you
can freely admit the existence of problems without letting
them get you down. You have good manners and seem to
be very conscious of other people's feelings and emotions.
Life is generally lived to the fullest, often without
much worry about tomorrow. You are not very good at
handling money because of a general lack of concern
about it. You spend it when you have it and don't when
you don't.
On the negative side, a 3 may be so delighted with the
joy of living that the life becomes frivolous and superficial.
You may scatter your abilities and express little sense
of purpose. The 3 can be an enigma, for no apparent
reason you may become moody and tend to retreat. Escapist
tendencies are not uncommon with the 3 life path, and
you find it very hard to settle into one place or one
position. Guard against being critical of others, impatient,
intolerant, or overly optimistic.
Typically, the life path 3 gives an above-average ability
in some art form. This can encompass painting, interior
decorating, landscaping, crafts, writing, music, or
the stage, or all of the above. You are apt to be a
happy, inspired person, constantly seeking the stimuli
of similar people. Your exuberant nature can take you
far, especially if you are ever able to focus your energies
and talents.
4
The Life Path 4 produces the most trustworthy, practical,
and down-to-earth of individuals; the cornerstone members
of society. The goal of this life path is learning to
take orders and to carry them out with dedication and
perseverance. You always demand as much from yourself
as you do from others, and sometimes a lot more. You
have the kind of will power that is often mistaken for
sheer stubbornness. Once a decision is made, it will
be followed through to the conclusion, right, wrong,
or indifferent; you are very set in your ways and determined
to handle things the way you are so certain that they
should be handled. Your tenacity of purpose and ability
to get the job done borders on obsession.
You are an excellent organizer and planner because of
your innate ability to view things in a very common
sense and practical way. You are a wonderful manager
with a great sense of how to get the job done.
Loyal and devoted, you make the best of your marriage,
and you are a dependable business partner. Friends may
be few in number, but you are very close to them and
once friendships are made, they often last a lifetime.
The number 4 is solidly associated with the element
of earth from which it gains it strength and utter sense
of reality. You are one of the most dependable people
you know. If patience and determination can ever win,
you are sure to achieve great success in life.
The negative side of the 4 can prove dogmatic to an
excess, narrow-minded, and repressive. A lot of skin-deep
people turn you off, and you lack the tact to keep your
feelings from being totally clear to all around. Additionally,
the negative 4 has a bad tendency to get too caught
up in the daily routine of affairs and often misses
the big picture and major opportunities that come along
once in a while.
5
A Life Path 5 person is usually very versatile, adventurous,
and progressive. With a 5 life path, you are one of
those people who is always striving to find answers
to the many questions that life poses. You want to be
totally unrestrained, as this is the sign of freedom
and independence. You abhor routine and boring work,
and you are not very good at staying with everyday tasks
that must be finished on time. You are, however, a good
communicator, and you know how to motivate people around
you, perhaps inclining you to be a teacher of some sort.
A love of adventure may dominate your life. This may
take the form of mental or physical manifestation, but
in either case, you thrill to the chance for exploration
and blazing new trails. You are apt to be multi-talented,
but just as likely to suffer from some lack of direction,
and there is often some confusion surrounding your ambition.
On the average, the number 5 personality is rather happy-go-lucky;
living for today, and not worrying too much about tomorrow.
It is important for you to mix with people of a like
mind, and try to avoid those that are too serious and
demanding. It is also important for you to find a job
that provides thought-provoking tasks rather than routine
and redundant responsibilities. You do best dealing
with people, but the important thing is that you have
the freedom to express yourself at all times. You have
an innate ability to think through complex matters and
analyze them quickly, but then be off to something new.
In the most negative application or use of the 5 energies,
you could become very irresponsible in tasks and decisions
concerning your home and business life. The total pursuit
of sensation and adventure can result in your becoming
self-indulgent and totally unaware of the feelings of
those around you. In the worse case situations negative
5's are very undependable and self-serving.
6
The Life Path 6 indicates that very prominent in your
nature is a strong sense of responsibility. You are
idealistic and must feel useful to be happy. The main
contribution you make is that of advice, service and
ever present support. This is the Life Path related
to leadership by example and assumption of responsibility,
thus, it is your obligation to pick up the burden and
always be ready to help. The Life Path 6 is one who
is compelled to function with strength and compassion,
a sympathetic and kind person, generous with personal
and material resources. Wisdom, balance, and understanding
are the cornerstones of this Life Path. Your extraordinary
wisdom and the ability to understand the problems of
others is apt to commence from an early age allowing
you to easily span the generation gap and assume an
important role in life early on. While the 6 may assume
huge responsibilities in the community, the life revolves
around the immediate home and family, for this is the
most domestic of numbers. Most with Life Path 6 are
the positive types who willingly carry far more than
their fair share of the load and are always there when
needed. You are very human and realistic about life,
and you feel that the most important thing in your life
is the home, family and friends.
The number 6 Life Path actually produces few negative
examples, but there are some pitfalls peculiar to the
path. Avoid a tendency to become overwhelmed by responsibilities
and a slave to others. Also, avoid being too critical
(of yourself or of others). The misuse of this Life
Path produces tendencies towards exaggeration, over-expansiveness,
and self-righteousness. Imposing one's views in an interfering
or meddling way must be an issue of concern. The natural
burdens of this number are heavy, and on rare occasions,
responsibility is abdicated by persons with this Life
Path 6. This rejection of responsibility will make you
feel very guilty and uneasy, and it will have very damaging
effects upon your relationships with others.
7
A Life Path 7 person is a peaceful and affectionate
soul, and by nature rather reserved and analytical.
The overwhelming strength of the number 7 is reflected
in the depth of thinking that is shown; you will garner
knowledge from practically every source that you find.
Intellectual, scientific and studious, you don't accept
a premise until you have dissected the subject and arrived
at you own independent conclusion. This is a very spiritual
number and it often denotes a sort of spiritual wisdom
that becomes apparent at a fairly early age. You need
a good deal of quiet time to be with your own inner
thoughts and dreams. You dislike crowds, noise and confusion.
You are very thorough and complete in your work, the
perfectionist who expects everyone else to be a meet
a high standard of performance, too. You evaluate situations
very quickly and with amazing accuracy. You rely heavily
on your experiences and your intuition, rather than
accepting advice from someone; your hunches usually
prove to be very accurate, and knowing this, you are
one who tends to follow the directions they seem to
guide. It's easy for you to detect deception and recognize
insincere people. You aren't one to have a wide circle
of friends, but once you accept someone as a friend,
it's for life. You really aren't a very social person,
and your reserve is often taken to be aloofness. Actually,
it's not that at all, but merely a cover up for your
basic feeling of insecurity. You actually like being
alone, away from the hustle and bustle of modern life.
In many ways, you would have fit in better in much earlier
times when the pace of life was less hectic.
In the most negative use of the 7 energies, you can
become very pessimistic, lackadaisical, quarrelsome,
and secretive. A Life Path 7 individual who is not living
life fully and gaining through experiences, is a hard
person to live with because of a serious lack of consideration
and because there is such a negative attitude. The negative
7 is very selfish and spoiled. If you have any of the
negative traits they are very difficult to get rid of
because you tend to feel that the world really does
owe you a living or in some way is not being fairly
treated. Fortunately, the negative 7 is not the typical
7, at least not without some mitigating positive traits.
This number is one that seems to have some major shifts
from highs to lows. Stability in feelings may be elusive
for you.
8
With the Life Path of the number 8 you are focused on
learning the satisfactions to be found in the material
world. The Life Path 8 produces many powerful, confident
and materially successful people. You are apt to be
very independent, forceful and competitive. Your routine
is involved in practical, down-to-earth affairs, and
there is relatively little time for dreams and visions.
You will want to use your ambitions, your organizational
ability, and your efficient approach to carve a satisfying
niche for yourself. Most of your concerns involve money
and learning of the power that comes with its proper
manipulation. This Life Path is perhaps the one that
is the most concerned with and desirous of status, as
an accompaniment to material success. If you are a positive
8 you are endowed with tremendous potential for conceiving
far-reaching schemes and ideas, and also possessing
the tenacity and independence to follow them through
to completion. In short, you are well-equipped for competition
in the business world or in other competitive fields
of endeavor. You know how to manage yourself and your
environment. You are practical and steady in your pursuit
of major objectives, and you have the courage of your
convictions when it comes to taking the necessary chances
to get ahead.
The negative 8 can be dictatorial and often suppresses
the enthusiasm and efforts of fellow member of the environment.
Often, the strength of their own personality excludes
close feelings for other people with whom they come
in contact. Material gains and rewards often become
issues of utmost importance, even to the neglect of
family, home and peace of mind. Dedication to success
can become an obsession. Emotional feelings are often
suppressed by the negative 8, resulting in isolation
and loneliness. All Life Path 8 people must avoid discounting
the opinions of others.
9
The keys to the nature of a Life Path number 9 person
are compassion, generosity, and a very humanitarian
attitude. This is the lesson that must be learned in
this life. Usually this number produces an individual
that is very trustworthy and honorable, and one unlikely
to harbor any sort of prejudice. Obviously, this is
a rather tall order, but you are, in fact, a person
that feels very deeply for individuals less fortunate
than yourself, and if you are in a position to help,
you certainly will. You tend to be quite sensitive,
as you see the world with much feeling and compassion.
The 9, being the highest of the single digit numbers,
holds an elevated position and poses certain responsibilities.
The purpose of life for those with a 9 life path is
of a philosophical nature. Judges, spiritual leaders,
healers and educators frequently have much 9 energy.
Material gains are not overly important, although the
quality of some life path 9 people is such that they
are materially rewarded in very significant ways. Often,
the number 9 life path requires a very selfless attitude
and the giving up of material possessions for the common
good. Even the very average of those with life path
9 possess extremely compassionate tendencies. The desire
to help others, especially the troubled or underprivileged,
is strong. You are apt to frequently find yourself being
used and let down by others, as your generosity is misused
and abused.
The number 9's very deep understanding of life is sometimes
manifested in the artistic and literary fields. Here
you may be able to express your deep emotional feelings
through painting, writing, music, or other art forms.
Often, however, there if a great deal of difficulty
finding a suitable outlet for the 9 Life Path. The 9
is usually well suited to the helping and healing professions;
the number is less inclined to the competitive business
environment.
You have the ability to make friends very easily, as
people are attracted to your magnetic, open personality.
You have a special gift of understanding people, which
if used correctly can be of great benefit to others.
Your interest in people tends to make you quite social.
People just naturally like you because you are so sympathetic,
tolerant and broad-minded. In many ways, you are a romantic
that can get lost in your loves and passions. Relationships
can be difficult for you, however, because it is hard
to strike a balance that will work effectively. If your
partner is one sharing your giving attitudes, the relationship
will be happy and lasting. On the other hand, if you
choose a partner whose focus is on material issues,
problems will arise quickly.
As do all the life path numbers, the 9 has its negative
side, and because of the demanding nature of the truly
positive 9, many tend to fail in this category. It is
not uncommon for persons with the 9 life path to fight
the realities and challenges of purpose imposed here
because selflessness is not an easy trait. You may have
difficulty believing that giving and a lack of personal
ambition can be satisfying. It must be realized and
accepted that little long-term satisfaction and happiness
is to be gained by rejecting the natural humanitarian
inclinations of this path.
11
The number 11 Life Path has the connotation of illumination
describing its general focus. This is the number associated
with spiritual awareness. As one of the two master numbers,
the 11 yields understanding and knowledge beyond the
grasp of others. The attitude toward life of those possessing
this Life Path is somewhat extreme; extremely intuitive,
avant-garde, idealistic, visionary, and cultured. These
extremes make you an interesting, if unusual person,
with much to offer society. The Life Path 11 person
is deep-thinking, and you are no doubt interested in
understanding many of life's mysteries and more intriguing
facets. Your inventive mind and broad-minded views will
permit you to succeed in life in any number of ventures.
You can best serve society, however, in those endeavors
utilizing your skills of counseling and guidance. Much
of your idealism is people oriented and quite humanitarian
in nature. You expect a great deal of yourself and of
those to whom you are close.
On the negative side, there is a lot of nervous tension
associated with the 11 life path, and you can be a difficult
person to deal with because of this. For this reason,
relationships, at times, can be difficult. This is a
Life Path that seems to feature broad mood swings between
the elation and depression. You are likely to have trouble
making decisions and getting your life in gear, so to
speak. There is a tendency for the 11 to harbor feelings
of uneasiness, and dissatisfaction with accomplishments
and personal progress in life. Your grandiose schemes
usually make sense, but you can get off the track and
they can be very impractical. You have a very distinct
side that lacks common sense, and you are quite often
unable to distinguish between fantasy and reality. In
this regard, you are perhaps more of a dreamer than
a doer. When you do get on target, your ideas seem to
have been inspired on high. Perhaps you are not a leader,
but you are a visionary and a very talented idea person.
22
The Life Path 22 is the higher of the two master number,
and the most powerful of all the Life Path numbers.
As such, it is also the most difficult to live up to
and fulfill. The 22 individual in endowed with many
powers from within and they can reach any heights in
life. A truly positive Life Path 22 person, equipped
with a suitable education, can be a master builder in
society. An idealistic nature is grounded in practical
terms, allowing you to conceive grandiose, far-reaching
schemes and carry them through to the end. If you desire
and are willing to work for it, you can achieve enormous
success, prestige, and fame. Obviously, everyone with
this Life Path does not become famous, but you may have
realized early in life that you have the capacity to
accomplish a great deal with relatively little effort.
Several Life Path number possess special spiritual understanding,
however, the 22 is unique in that this path has great
understanding, but also the ability to apply knowledge
in a practical way. There is purpose to your life and
you view your tasks and obligations in a very emotionally
controlled and determined way.
Really negative 22 people are very rare. When they do
show up, there power is similar to positive 22, but
motivations are in a negative vein and they are very
dictatorial, insensitive, and overbearing. The majority
of 22 people fall into an average category who still
have sufficient ability to reach great heights within
their chosen fields. The ability to control emotion
may help in the business world. This is a powerful Life
Path, both for the material gain it can bring and for
the higher good that is often achieved for mankind.

The Birthday
The birthday is a supporting influence added to the

by the Life Path. Here is your birthday and the modifying
traits shown by it:

The life path has been discussed in very elementary
details previously, and the life path period is an addition
to this reading that should be taken into account. If
we live long enough, we will experience three life path
periods. As you progress into this page, think of the
readings in terms of a modification or enhancement personalizing
the life path reading. These readings do not replace
the life path reading, but merely fine tune and customize
it to the individual. Because life path periods can
vary so widely, the life path we are on becomes complex
and motley.
The life periods are based on the birth date
The number representing the month of birth, reduced
to a single digit or master number, is the first life
path period indicator.
The second life path period is determined by the day
of birth reduced to a single digit or master number.
The final period is based on the year of birth reduced
to a single digit or master number.
The timing of the first period begins at birth and continues
until at least when in astrological progression the
Moon has returned to its original place in the birth
chart. This is about 28 years. To estimate the completion
of the first period, determine the year that the subject
turns 28. Next, calculate the personal year for the
subject that year. If it is a 1 personal year, this
year should be considered the beginning of the second
life path period. If it is a 2 personal year for the
subject, the previous year should be considered the
beginning of the second life path period. If it is a
3-9 personal year, the beginning of the second life
path period will not occur until the beginning of the
next nine year cycle, i.e. the next 1 personal year.
This same process should be used to determine the beginning
of the third life path period. For this, it is the 1
personal year a year before, on, or after, the 56th
birthday.
For example, my birth is month 2, day 8, year 1939/22.
Thus, I would be 28 in 1967 (1939+28-1967) which would
be a 6 personal year for me. The next, 1968 would be
7 personal year; 1969 an 8 personal year, and 1970 a
9 personal year.
The year 1971 would be my next 1 personal year making
this the year that my life path period changed to 8.
In 1995, a 7 personal year for me, I turned 56.
My next number 1 personal year came in 1998. This then
was the beginning of my third life path period.

Life Path Period
Early years: In this period you will show a stronger
tendency toward independence. Originality and creativity
come early and continue through this period. You have
the ability to lead early on, but at a time when the
emphasis is on learning to follow, this can be a problem.
You do have a good deal of early self-confidence and
individuality which can help you achieve early successes.
You are aggressive in your early career path.
Productive years: In this period you will have more
drive and determination thanks to the 1 life path period.
If you have other indicators that you would do well
in business for yourself, this life path period would
be time to move in that direction. Your demeanor now
is highly independent and leadership skills are sharpened.
The potential pitfalls here are letting ego go a little
out of control and perhaps showing a lack of patience
at times.
Later years: New challenges may continue to appear even
in your later years. In this period you may achieve
the recognition that eluded you earlier, and this may
mean it will be hard to kick back and take life easy.
A 1 life path period does not lend itself to early retirement
and leisure activities. Indeed, this may become the
most active time of your life.
2 Life Path Period
Early years: This is a difficult life path period for
a young child since it suggests that emotions may run
high and sensitivities to many things may be present.
On the positive side, this influence may be helpful
for developing any artistic talents. The 2 period may
be one in which you will be required to be helpful,
supportive, and willing to adapt in general. A tendency
to have emotional reactions to problems and confrontation
may follow you into early adulthood.
Productive years: The 2 lifepath period suggests that
you will profit from your ability to work together with
others in harmony and cooperation. In these years your
ability to use skills in diplomacy and mediation will
be pronounced. The affairs of others and their success
may be the key to your own advancement. Pushing your
own agenda doesn't work as well now. The need is to
control hyperactive emotions that may appear from time
to time.
Later years: The 2 lifepath period in the later years
promises a good retirement with many friends and opportunities.
Your influence now will be based on your ability to
bring together diverse opinions and ideas. Friends and
family, and especially a close relationship is all important
to your happiness now. Having close connections is vital
to your health and wellbeing in your senior years.
3 Life Path Period
Early years: The 3 is an excellent lifepath period for
a young person because of its inclination toward the
development of expression. Any talents you may have
in creative or artistic endeavors are encouraged during
this period. Emotions may be high and hyperactive tendencies
can be present. Making friends and enjoying social interactions
will come easily now. Enjoy life as this is the tone
of the 3 period, but be careful not to scatter your
activities to the point that you fail to make progress
on anything.
Productive years: This is likely to be a very pleasant,
carefree and creative time in your life. Being original
and using your talents of expression will find you furthering
your career and your life in general. If there is a
pitfall during this time it is becoming overly optimistic
and extravagant, and spreading your talents too thin.
In all this is a period that offers much happiness in
exchange for a minimum of planning and concentration.
Later years: A 3 period in later life suggests an active
social life with numerous hobbies and activities. If
you are a creative person, this late life period may
become your most prolific and fruitful. Indeed, this
may be the time to write that book you have thought
about, a time to learn a new method of expression perhaps,
or simply let your imagination run free. Enjoy yourself,
it won't be that terribly hard now.
4 Life Path Period
Early years: A 4 life path period is not much fun for
a young person. It suggests that learning is difficult
or the demands placed upon you to lear |
