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.
This is a number that is derived from all the numbers in your birth date. First, convert
the month to a single number, then add this individual digit, the birthday, and the
individual digits of the birth year. The individual digits are again added together, as
necessary to reduce the sum to a single digit 1 through 9, or to the numerology "master
numbers," 11 or 22. These master numbers are not reduced any further. See below for
interpretations of Your Life Path Number.

1
This Life Path is characterized by your individualist desires, independence, and the need
for personal attainment. The purpose of being fulfilled 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. You have the potential for greatness as a leader, but 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.
Positive 1 traits abounds in creative inspiration, and you 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. 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. You are ambitious, but either must understand or learn the need for aggressive
action to promote yourself.
When the 1 Life Path person is not fully developed they may express being negative, which
gives the impession that may appear very dependent rather than independent. If this is
the case you are likely to be very dissatisfied with your circumstances, and long for
self-sufficiency. Over-confidence and impatience could well 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.

12
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.
