Divining Your Life Path Number
The Life Path is determined by the sum that is arrived at after
reducing your birth date by adding digits together. This number
represents the traits and talents that you were born with and
the probable journey you will take during your lifetime. First
convert the month you were born in to a single number. Let's use
Angelina Jolie who was born in June 4, 1975 as an example. First
convert the month to a single number or master number. Note that
when calculating months, double digit months such as September,
October November and December do not reduce down to a single
digit. For example November, which is the 11th month, equates to
the number 2 after you add 1+1 together. Angelina Jolie's
birthday does not reduce down to a single digit. Her birth month
is the sixth month of the year. Her month number is 6. Your next
step is to convert your day of birth to a single digit. For
instance, if you were born on the 17th then you would add 1 and
7 together to reduce the number to 8. If you were born on the
29th you would reduce to the master number 11. In that case,
further reduce the number to 1. Angelina Jolie's birthday does
not have to be reduced as she was born on the 4th, so her number
is 4. Next, add the total digits of the birth year and reduce
them to a single number. Jolie's birth year is 1975 so you would
add 1+9+7+5 to arrive at a sum that represents the year number.
In Jolie's case the year is the master number 22. This would be
reduced to simply 2. Now add the month sum, birth sum and year
sum together. For Jolie it would be: 6+4+2 = 12 If you get a
double digit, as is the case with Angelina Jolie, reduce the
number down further. 1+2 =3 Angelina Jolie's Life Path number is
a 3. Reduce your own birthday down to a single number and then
find the interpretation below that describes your journey. Those
configurations that also result in a master number such as 11,
22 or 33 should read the life path prediction for that number as
well. For instance if your birthday reduces to 22 and then down
to a 4, then you should read the interoperations for both the
numbers 4 and 22. INTERPRETATIONS OF THE LIFE PATH NUMBER Life
Path Number 1 If you are a 1, you are motivated by a need for
soul freedom and personal attainment. Number 1s often have the
potential to be great leaders but the often abysmally fail when
it comes to teamwork and cooperation. For this reason, they make
great entrepreneurs, freelancers, generals, commanders, CEOs and
producers. Usually number 1's spend at least two thirds of their
life trying to shake off the emotional and financial shackles
imposed on them by others. Their good looks vitality and lust
for life is a source of awe for others who often admire their
stamina and ability to get their act together. However sometimes
a person traveling the number 1 Life path can be self-absorbed,
pushy and overwhelming. Their aggression and ambition is often
interpreted as hostility and selfishness. Number 1s who stray
from their paths often end up in clingy codependent
relationships with mentally ill or addicted partners. If you are
a number 1 and experiencing this kind of situation, it is a
definite message that you are failing your life's purpose to
become self-sufficient in life.
Life Path Number 2 Those following a number 2 Life Path tend to
be diplomatic, sensitive individuals. As they have an inherent
sense of morality and fairness, they tend to be indecisive as
they can clearly see both sides of any conundrum or argument.
They often make great judges, mediators, lawyers, counselors or
social workers because they have an incredible talent for
resolving disputes. These loving, optimistic individuals prefer
to see only the best in others. They are honest almost to the
point of fault. Number 2's never "stoop to conquer" and consider
themselves to be above arguing with others. Number 2s function
best in nine to five jobs where the routine is the same every
day. Erratic behaviors, drama queens and overt displays of
physical affection upset them. These natural collectors are also
pack rats and are the type to keep everything that they have
owned since birth in the attic or basement. As they are also
very sentimental and nostalgic, many of them collect antiques
and photographs of loved ones. As the life purpose of a number 2
is to bring harmony to group situations it is very important for
them to get out and socialize. A number 2 that is isolating has
strayed from his or her life path. Pessimism, lethargy and
depression usually identify this. The best way for a number 2 to
get back on the right path is to find a job that involves
working with the general public or to find a way to practice
acts of charity or philanthropy. Life Path Number 3 Followers of
Life Path number 3 are effervescent personalities whose journey
often leads to artistic acclaim or social popularity. Number 3s
are the entertainers of the world and most of them are truly
gifted musicians, writers, actors, dancers, public speakers and
politicians. A number 3 is not fulfilled until there has been
some public acknowledgement of his or her unique talent. The
number 3 life path is one that is characterized by beauty,
excitement, eccentricity and social popularity. These unique,
expressive personalities often easily acquire, fame and glory.
At the same time they are known for their understanding of human
nature as well as their ability to really listen to others and
truly comprehend their emotional needs. Number 3's are also
excellent chefs and hosts and boast exquisite taste in fashion
and home decoration. They are often sought after socially as
others find them physically as well as spiritually beautiful.
Usually a number 3 is quite stubborn and plays to win no matter
how high the cost of success. Their unusual stamina and vigor
makes it easier for them to rebound from setbacks in life than
most people. Often these setbacks are of a financial or romantic
nature as their idealism and spontaneity sometimes causes them
to make bad choices. However a number 3 is usually quite humble
and very capable of being honest with themselves about their
mistakes. Number 3's stray off their life path by giving up
their dreams and talents. Many escape into alcohol or drug abuse
to avoid hearing the nagging voice of their constant
inspiration. Your exuberant nature can take you further than
most people, especially if you give yourself permission to focus
your energies and talents. Life Path Number 4 Those following
the Life Path of a number 4 often end up becoming the pillars of
the community. These individuals are hard working, practical and
trustworthy. They have the practical skills to bring dreams of
others into reality. However, self-sacrificing number 4's often
demand too much both of themselves and others. For this reason
many of them develop personal reputations as martyrs or tyrants.
The will power and stubbornness of the number 4 can also be
interpreted as greed and selfishness. This completely baffles
the confused number 4 whose intentions are usually to benefit
the good of all. These sensitive individuals can also be very
set in their ways and traumatized by any changes to their
routines. They can also be so over focused on the tasks at hand
that they miss big opportunities that come their way. Sometimes
a number 4's adherence to routine is obsessive to the point of
being pathological. Life Path Number 5 Those traveling the
number 5 Life Path are adventurous and highly inquisitive
individuals who consider hands on experience to be the best
teacher in life. Many of them are deeply intelligent,
philosophical and spiritually minded. They love to theorize
about the nature of existence. Despite their sometimes-spacey
demeanor, many are sincere seekers of solutions to mankind's
problems. Number 5's abhor routine and daily chores. They are
often excellent at initiating many projects, but rarely follow
through on any of them. Most number 5's are multi-talented but
lack the discipline or desire to follow one path. For this
reason, many number 5's end up leading chaotic and even
catastrophic lives when it comes to finances. Number 5's also
hate to make plans and prefer to live in the present. Their
happy-go-lucky attitudes demonstrate an incredible faith that
the universe will take care of them. As other people often feel
tricked or fooled by number 5's, they tend to experience a
series of broken relationships. Life Path Number 6 Those
following the number 6 Life Path are usually people-pleasers
that have a great need to feel indispensable to others. For this
reason many number 6's often dedicate their lives to being
caregivers and service providers such a doctors, nurses,
counselors, fire fighters and law keepers. These self-less
individuals believe that they should share the burdens of others
as they proceed on their life's journey. Number 6's usually feel
a spiritual obligation to help others and do so by constantly
displaying kindness, tenderness and compassion to all that they
meet. Number 6's have very few negative qualities, except for a
tendency to codependency. 6's that find himself or herself
enslaved to an addicted or mentally ill partner might not be
following their true path, as this is a sign that they have
become enablers, rather than healers of the diseases. Life Path
Number 7 Those embarking on number 7 Life Paths are
affectionate, peace-loving individuals who prefer rationality to
inspiration. These reserved and analytical deep-thinkers make
great mathematicians, engineers, inventors, scientists and
doctors. These intellectual and studious personalities often
pursue advanced academic careers. Number 7 s are perfectionists
who prefer silence to music, noise and crowds. Suspicious 7's do
not make friends easily. They despise the guile and
manipulations associated with popular culture and dismiss all
who do not pass their strict moral standards. Although they are
skeptical and analytical creatures, 7's do rely on their gut
instincts more than they rely on statistics, public opinion
polls or advice from others. In this case, the troubled 7 should
try to recognize his or her original ambitions to improve the
world through the application of wisdom. Life Path Number 8
Followers of the number 8 Life Path are naturally lucky
individuals whose soul purpose is to acquire material wealth.
People on this path have relatively little time for dreams and
visions, as they are busy applying their prodigal organizational
abilities to the real world. People who boast a "from rags to
riches" history often are number 8's. 8's who use their natural
luck for good are endowed with tremendous potential for
practically improving the lives of thousands, perhaps millions
of people. They should avoid discounting the opinions of others,
especially when it comes to emotional relationships. Sometimes
the pursuit of riches becomes more important than personal
relationships. *8's are considered to be on the wrong path if an
attachment to material objects is taking over their desire to
share material and spiritual riches with the rest of the world.
Life Path Number 9 Those on the number 9 Life path are destined
to travel a humanitarian path. These individuals make great
diplomats, environmentalists, veterinarians, teachers, judges,
social workers, nuns, priests and healers. It is also not
unusual for a number 9 to give up all of their material
possessions for the common good. Sometimes 9's express their
deep understanding of life through painting, writing, music or
other art forms. Many also become mystics, channellers, light
workers, Reiki masters, witches and alternative healers. The
number 9 personality is best suited to the healing and care
giving professions. Many of them purposely remain single so that
they can treat everybody like their soul mate. 9's who stray
from their wrong paths often find themselves feeling angry or
hostile towards those they have helped. The number 9 who is
giving with an expectation of reward, needs to reexamine his or
own inner core and principles. The negative side of 9's
manifests when they find others leaving them out of the loop.
Their eccentricity causes others to treat them like village
idiot. Life Path Number 11 The Number 11 Life Path is concerned
with spiritual illumination. Often a number 11 will display an
understanding and knowledge of metaphysical matters that is far
beyond the grasp of others. Fortunately if they do get in
trouble, they often demonstrate a brilliant resilience. However,
11's best utilize their life's purpose by attempting to become
teachers or counseling. On the negative side 11's often expect a
great deal of themselves and others. 11's are also very nervous
individuals who are prone to illnesses that have a dual nature
such as manic depression and schizophrenia. Life Path Number 22
Those following the life path of 22 are called master teachers.
They are the most powerful of the Life Path numbers and are
endowed with many powers. They can accomplish a great deal with
very little effort. Life Path Number 33 A birth date that
reduces down to 33 is very rare. When it does happen you are
looking at a great and significant spiritual leader along the
lines of the Dalai Lama or Gandhi.
