Life is all in the Numbers
Numerology is the study of numbers, and the way they reflect certain aptitudes and character tendencies, as an integral part of the cosmic plan. Each letter has a numeric value that provides a related cosmic vibration. The sum of the numbers in your birth date and the sum of the value derived from the letters in the name provide an interrelation of vibrations. These numbers show a great deal about character, purpose in life, what motivates, and where talents may lie. You can use the numbers to determine the best time for major moves and activities in your life. Numerology is used to decide when to invest, when to marry, when to travel, when to change jobs, or relocate.
So, let’s look at numerology and how it can help you. This first blog session will talk about the basics then we will move on from there.
Pythagoras, the Father of Modern Numerology
Pythagoras, the Greek mathematician who lived from 569-470 B.C., is said by many to be the originator of much of what we call numerology today. In actuality, the origins of numerology predate Pythagoras, the most popular being the very old Hebrew Kabbalah. In the twentieth century, the old discipline reappears in the form of a series of books published from 1911-1917 by L. Dow Balliett and it was helped along in the 30s by Florence Campbell, and within the next few decades a wealth of literature was available to the public. It does seem that there is a growing interest in the discipline and have many followers.
Numerology is relatively easy to learn, understand and use. All that you require is the birth date and the complete name of an individual to unlock all of the secrets that the numbers hold.
The Basics of Creating a Chart
There are eleven numbers used in constructing Numerology charts. These numbers are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, and 22. Larger numbers that occur from adding the numbers in the complete birth date or from the values assigned to each name, are reduced by adding the digits together until the sum achieved is one of the core numbers. Merely add the components of the larger number together (repeatedly, if necessary) until a single digit (or the "master" numbers 11 or 22) results. Each of these number represents different characteristics and expressions.
Master number are the only exception to rule of reducing to the single digit. The master numbers 11 and 22 are reputedly intensified versions of the single digit number they replace (2 and 4). These numbers suggest a potential for a high degree of learning and/or achievement very often in a more stressful environment. In most individuals, the master numbers operate at a much more tangible or practical level, becoming essentially the same as the single digit doubled.
Life path Number
Life Path number, a single-digit number that is said to reveal who you are, your deepest values, and the challenges you may have to face. The first consideration of numerology is often the date of birth. This date, expressed numerically, as mm/dd/yyyy, is used to determine what is called the Life path Number and a variety of other factors in the numerology reading.
For example, my birth day is January 20, 1956
Month: January is the 1st month of the year. 01 reduces to 1 (0 + 1 = 1).
Day: The date of birth is 20. 20 reduces to 2 (2 + 0 = 2).
Year: The year of birth is 1956. 1956 reduces to 3 (1 + 9 + 5 + 6 = 21, then 2 + 1=3).
Now add the resulting single-digit numbers: 1 + 2 + 3 = 6.
Therefore, my Life Path number in this case is 6.
This is the correct way to calculate the Life path because this method is the only one that acknowledges the Life Path as a cycle, one that runs from birth to death and interacts with the other numerological cycles of your life.
Your Period cycles are three long-term cycles that each cover about a third of your life. The First Period cycle is based on the reduced number of your month of birth, the Second Period comes from your reduced day of birth and the Third Period comes from your reduced year of birth. Therefore, your all-encompassing Life Path number is not a matter of simply adding up the numbers that appear in your birth date but is derived from the numbers that make up your three Period cycles.
Now let’s look at what each Life Path number means:
The Life Path 1 suggests that you entered this earth plane with skills allowing you to become a leader rather easily. Your nature is charged with individualistic desires, a demand for
independence, and the need for personal attainment.
Many of our military generals, corporate leaders, and political leaders are men and women having the Life Path 1. When you display positive 1 traits your mind is capable of significant creative inspiration, and it possesses the enthusiasm and drive to accomplish a great deal. You are very good at getting the ball rolling; initiating new projects is your forte. You are at your best when confronted with obstacles and challenges, as you combat these with strength and daring.
This is both the physical and inner varieties of strength. With this strength comes a strong determination and the capability to lead. As a natural leader you have a flair for taking charge of any situation. You tend to do this, even if, at times, it is not appropriate for you to do so.
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 tire of routine and highly detailed tasks rather quickly. You are ambitious and assertive in promoting yourself. Although you may hide the fact for social reasons, you can be self-centered and demand to have your way in many circumstances. For the most part, you are considered very good company, friendly, good-natured, and a wonderful conversationalist. People like you and are drawn to you. It is a good thing they are, because you are very sensitive to
disapproval and you don't handle it very well. There are several ways that the negative side of the 1 can show up. The 1 always has the potential for greatness as a leader, but they may fail as a follower. Unfortunately, sometimes you have to follow for a while before you can lead, and this can be a difficult time. 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, particularly in the early years. 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 might be 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. Avoid being too bossy and demanding.
The Life Path 2 suggests that you entered the earth plane with a spiritual quality in your makeup allowing you to be one of the peacemakers in society. Your strengths come from an ability to
listen and absorb. You are a fixer, a mediator, and a very diplomatic type of person using persuasive skills rather than forcefulness to make your way in the world. When you embrace
and exhibit the strength of your spiritual side, you are intuitive, avant-garde, idealistic, and visionary. These extremes make you interesting with much to offer society. You have the potential to be a deep-thinker, and no doubt interested in understanding life's mysteries and more intriguing facets.

a mediator. In this role you can settle disputes in an unbiased way. You have sincere concern for others; you think the best of people, and want the best for them. You are honest and open in
thought, word and deed. You excel in any form of group activity where your expertise in handling and blending people can be used effectively. You use manners and tact with others,
and you won’t dominate a group or situation. You are the master of compromise and of maintaining harmony in your environment. As the ultimate team member, you never demand
praise or recognition. In many ways, you are a creature of habit and routine, and you like your path and pattern well worn and familiar. Your ability to analyze and render accurate judgments is a wonderful natural trait you bring to the business world. You strive for complete accuracy and even perfection in your work. Perhaps you are not a leader, but you are a visionary and a very talented idea person. On the negative side of the 2, nervous energy is a trait often
observed in the 2. Because of this, you may be an extremist who is sometimes the zealot in expressing likes and dislikes. Nervous tension can bring the normally easygoing 2 into a state of emotional outrage, which to those around you, may seem so out of character. Indeed, the 2 can sometimes become oversensitive. In some instances, the strength of the 2 can also become its weakness. You may find it hard to decide what to do at times. Twos often struggle against indecisiveness. Making decisions and getting your life in gear, so to speak, may be a challenge. There is a tendency for many 2s to harbor feelings of uneasiness, and dissatisfaction with accomplishments and personal progress in life. 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. When this sets in to any degree, you can accomplish very little. If living on the negative side of the 2, you may lack common sense, and you are quite often unable to distinguish between fantasy and reality. Even the more positive individuals with the 2 Life Path will prefer a more amiable and less competitive environment, often shunning the business world. You can best serve society in 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.
The Life Path 3 indicates that you entered the earth plane with a strong sense of creativity and with wonderful communication skills. Achievement for you most likely comes through engaging
your ingenious expression. A truly gifted 3 possesses the most exceptional innovative skills, normally in the verbal realm, writing, speaking, acting, or similar endeavors. Threes are where
we find the entertainers of the world, bright, effervescent, sparkling people with very optimistic attitudes. The bright side of this path stresses harmony, beauty and pleasures; of sharing your inventive talents with the world.

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 for too long. Because of your own sensitivity to being hurt, you have a caring disposition and seem to be very conscious of other people's feelings and emotions. In romance, the 3 is a very ardent and loyal lover. Affairs that don't go well can leave scars that seem to linger. Emotional experiences of all sorts tend to deeply touch the 3 and the drama may take some time to play out. Regrettably, the giving disposition of the 3 often attracts demanding partners. As with most of life's issues for the 3 Life Path, balance in relationships is illusive.
Your big test with a 3 Life Path is controlling your highs and lows. You won't survive very well in any routine environment or when you are placed under dominating management. Slow
thinking and overly contemplative people tend to frustrate you, and you don't function too well with this type whether you are working for, with, or under them. Your exuberant nature can
take you far, especially if you are ever able to focus your energies and talents. For the few living on the negative side of this Life Path, 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.

But so often, the 4 Life Path is the entrepreneur and manager in the community. In either role, 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. You don't think of yourself as dogged, but your honest beliefs and that ever direct speech makes you come across as completely unremitting. 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 a wonderful manager with a great sense of how to get the job done. You are an excellent organizer and planner because of your innate ability to view things in a very common sense and practical way. This stems from a strong desire to be a
perfectionist in your labor. Planning is necessary to avoid errors. It's very likely that a 4 Life Path person invented the to-do list, because it is the rare Life Path 4 who doesn't have one by her
side always. Your life is programmed in an orderly fashion permitting you to catalog and manage the flow of ideas and activities that fill your day. You seem to function best when you are under the gun and facing a tough set of problems. Loyal and devoted, you make the best of your marriage, and you are always a good provider.

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 caught up in the daily routine of affairs, missing the big picture and major opportunities that come along once in
a while.

through to whatever ideas or concepts you may embrace. You hate routine and boring work, and you are not very good at staying with everyday tasks that must be finished on time. On the
average, the number 5 personality is rather happy-go-lucky; living for today, and not worrying too much about tomorrow. 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 flexibility to express
yourself always. You have an innate ability to think through complex matters and analyze them quickly, but then be off to something new. A love of adventure may dominate your life. This may take the form of mental or physical manifestation, but in either case, you thrill at the chance for exploration and blazing new trails.

You are not one to pass up a good venture. You have quite a lot of the risk-taker in your makeup. If you aren't putting your money at stake, you are surely open to a wide variety of risks in your everyday life. Taking the conservative approach is just not in your nature.
In romance, you hate to be tied down and restricted. This doesn't necessarily mean that you are unfaithful or promiscuous, but it does mean that a good partner for you needs to understand your nature. A relationship based on jealousy and having tight reigns is not going to work at all for you. A partner who understands your need to be free and trusted will find you trustworthy, even if you aren't constantly available and totally dutiful. It is important for you to mix with people of a like mind, and to try to avoid those that are too serious and demanding. If you are living on the negative side of the Life Path 5, you are Likely to be multi talented, but suffering from some lack of direction, and there is confusion surrounding your ambition. Restless, discontent, and impulsive, you may bounce from one job to the next without accomplishing much at all. A negative Life Path 5 can become very irresponsible in tasks and decisions

the case may be, instincts with a 6 Life Path exceed all others by a considerable margin. Whether in the home or in the work place, you are the predominant caretaker and family head.

convictions are deeply ingrained and define your character. You are idealistic and must feel useful to be happy. The main contribution you make is that of advice, service, and ever
present support. You are a humanitarian of the first order. It is your role to serve others, and you start in the home environment. You are very realistic about life, and you feel that the most
important thing in your life is home, family and friends. This is the Life Path related to leadership by example and assumption of responsibility, it is your obligation to pick up the
burden and always be ready to help. If you are like the majority with Life Path 6, you are one who will willingly carry far more than your fair share of any load, and you are always there when
needed. In doing so, you take ownership and often become an authority over the situation.
In romance, the 6 is loyal and devoted. As a caretaker, you are likely to attract partners who are somewhat weaker and more needy than yourself; someone you can care for and protect. The
main ingredient that must prevail in the relationship is complete harmony. You don't function well in stressful relationships that become challenges for you to control. It is the same with friends, you are loyal and trustworthy. But there is a tendency for you to become dominating and controlling. It's likely you feel compelled to function with strength and compassion. You are a sympathetic and kind person, generous with personal and material resources. Wisdom, balance, and understanding are the cornerstones of your life, and these define your approach to life in general. Your extraordinary wisdom and ability to understand the problems of others is apt to start from an early age. This allows you to easily span the generation gap and assume an important role in life early on.

You may have a tendency to become overwhelmed by responsibilities and a slave to others, especially members of you own family or close friends It's easy for you to fall into a pattern of being too critical of others; you also tend to become too hard on yourself.

engage in exaggeration, over-expansiveness, and self-righteousness. Modesty and humility may not flow easily. Imposing one's views in an interfering or meddling way might 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.
The Life Path 7 suggests that you entered this plane with a gift for investigation, analysis, and keen observation. You are a thinker of the first order. You evaluate situations very quickly,
and with amazing accuracy. As a result, you are thorough and complete in your work, the perfectionist who expects everyone else to meet a high standard of performance, too.
A Life Path 7 person is a peaceful and affectionate soul. But you guard your connection to people carefully. It's easy for you to detect deception and recognize insincere people, and you avoid them. You aren't one to have a wide circle of friends, but once you accept someone as a friend, it's for life. It's as if you must get to know someone a lot better before you allow the wall
surrounding you to be penetrated. Chances are you are a very charming and refined individual with great poise and a quick wit. Nonetheless, there is an exclusiveness about you. You probably
aren't a very social person. Your reserve is often taken to be aloofness, but, it’s not that at all. It is merely a cover up for your basic feeling of insecurity. It takes time for you to warm up to new friends. Clubs and organizations hold little interest for you; you are not a joiner. You like being alone and 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. You need a good deal of quiet time to be with your own inner thoughts and dreams. You dislike crowds, noise, distractions, and confusion. The overwhelming strength of the number 7 is reflected in the depth of thinking; 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 your own independent conclusion. This is a very spiritual number and it often denotes a sort of
spiritual wisdom that becomes apparent at an early age. A built in inner guide providing a strong sense of intuition may set you up as being a law unto yourself. Whatever spiritual
position you take, whether traditional or bizarre, you will cling to it with fervor. Once you have decided an issue, it is almost impossible to get you to revisit the question. Adaptability is not
your style and change for you is a rarity. 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 follow the directions they seem to guide.
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 for others. There is such a negative attitude Operating on the negative side of the 7 can produce a very selfish and spoiled individual and living with one can be a challenge. This may be why some 7s prefer living alone. 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 that in some way you are 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.
The Life Path 8 suggests that you entered this plane armed to lead, direct, organize and govern. You are very ambitious and goal-oriented. You will want to use your ambitions, your
organizational ability, and your efficient approach to carve a satisfying niche for yourself. If you are a positive 8 you are endowed with tremendous potential for conceiving far-reaching
schemes and ideas, and possessing the tenacity and independence to follow them through to completion. In short, you were born to be an executive. You know how to manage yourself and your environment. Your ability to judge the character and potential of the people around
you are an asset used to your advantage. A large part of your success in life comes from how hard you work. This Life Path is the most prone to producing workaholics.

convictions when it comes to taking the necessary chances to get ahead. With the Life Path of the number 8 you are focused on learning the satisfactions to be found in the material world.

This Life Path is perhaps the one that is the most concerned with and desirous of status as an ultimate measure of success. You want to be recognized for your hard work and achievements. The attainment of honors and acceptance into the club of executive
leadership is all important. For this, you may find yourself very well suited to compete in the business world or in the political arena.
In relationships, you are frank, honest, and steadfast. You may be very much in love but watch that you are not too busy and preoccupied to show it. Being the lavish provider is not always
an adequate substitute for showing your devotion and affection in more personal ways. You have a great need for close personal relationships to mitigate and somehow soften your nature. You must find the time for love and keep it as an important project in your life. 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.

Emotions are often suppressed by the negative 8, resulting in
isolation and loneliness. All Life Path 8 people must avoid discounting the opinions of others.
The Life Path 9 suggests that you entered this plane with an abundance of dramatic feelings coupled with a strong sense of compassion and generosity. The key to the nature of a Life Path
number 9 person is found in their humanitarian attitude. Even the very average of those with life path 9 possess extremely compassionate tendencies. 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 can help, you certainly will. The
9, being the highest of the single digit numbers, holds an elevated position in terms of responsibilities to mankind. 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. In this, however, the 9 Life Path is not apt to get rich since they are very generous, sometimes to a fault,
and usually have an easy come, easy go attitudes about money. The rare 9 life path has a totally selfless attitude, giving up of material possessions for the common good. The 9 Life Path indicates you have a commanding presence. You can make friends very easily, as people are attracted to your magnetic, open personality. The term "hail-fellow" may have been coined to describe a 9 Life Path, as you may indeed be one of those who is generally upbeat and heartily friendly and congenial. You meet people easily and are quickly befriended because of your openness and amiable demeanor. Your genial ways often put you in the lead in whatever field of endeavor you pursue.
Relationships can be difficult for you 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. You tend to be quite sensitive, as you see the world with much feeling. The number 9's very deep understanding of life is sometimes manifested in the artistic and literary fields. If drama and acting is not your forte, it will surely be an area of great interest and potential. Likewise, you may be able to express your deep feelings through painting, writing, music, or other art forms. The purpose of life for those with a 9 life path is often of a
philosophical nature. Judges, spiritual leaders, healers and educators frequently have much 9 energy. The number is less inclined to the competitive business environment and may find
this a struggle. As do all the life path numbers, the 9 has its negative side. 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.
Elevens are the most intuitive of all Life Path Numbers and can sense a great deal about what’s going on behind the scenes. They have an innate understanding of others and are easily able to pick up on deeper cues. As a master number, Elevens have similar qualities to Twos, only amplified. You are dedicated and loyal and are likely to marry young. This amplified intuition is fueled by an unyielding energy, which makes it hard for others to sometimes keep up.
Because of your natural intuition and constant energy, you are likely to live a life of extremes. You form deep relationships easily, often at the bewilderment of others. However, this life of extremes is also driven by an inner restlessness. You are a visionary with energy to spare and when you become bored you plunge yourself into the next great idea. This gives you both power and emotional turmoil.
However, you possess more potential than you know. You have a natural ability to develop deep and accurate insights without ever going through a rational thought process. This is often misunderstood at a young age, leading many Elevens to be self-conscious and self-criticizing.
Your sensitivity and high-energy make you prone to anxiety and stress. While you are always tactful and diplomatic, your anxiety can make you quick to feel slighted or attacked. You often envision ways to fight back, however, your intuition will usually keep you from making any sudden movements. Take care to give yourself ample time to decompress when faced with stressful situations. You must find balance between the extremes to find your calm.
If your Life Path Number is Twenty Two, you have the potential for extreme success and power. You are well disciplined, ambitious, confident and pragmatic, all of which make you naturally able to turn dreams into realities. As a master number, Twenty Twos share a lot of the same characteristics as Fours. You are hard working and rooted in logic, breaking down complex situations into step-by-step solutions. However, unlike Fours, Twenty Twos have a natural gift for intuition and independence, which allows them to overcome social anxieties.
As a Twenty Two, you are able to see the beauty of an idea as well as the logistics to make it a reality. However, your sound common sense also makes it easy for you to see the limitations of an idea. Your hard work and dedication to analysis help you understand complex scenarios, such as the intricacies of a large organization or global network. While others may not always see your vision, your intuition and realism make it easy for you to build trust. You are a dreamer and a pragmatist all in one.
Unfortunately, Twenty Twos are often the most unfulfilled in life. You are aware of your potential, however you are also your own harshest critic. You often set impractical and unrealistic standards for yourself, placing a constant self-imposed pressure to succeed. You have great difficulty accepting failure of any sort and usually blame yourself, even when it’s not deserved. When unchecked, your ego can also lead to distrust of others. You see yourself as superior and therefore lack faith in the ability of others.
Twenty Twos are dedicated and disciplined visionaries. However, you must learn to accept that ideas may change and transform as they come to fruition. Variations from your original vision are opportunities, not failures.
