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.
