1 Life Path.
You are a born leader. You insist on your right to make up your own mind; you demand
freedom of thought and action. You have drive and determination. You don't let anything
or anyone stand in your way once you are committed to your goal.
You assume the responsibility to be the protector and provider for those you love. You
demand respect and attention and become irritated and even domineering when important
things do not go your way.
You need to feel in command of important undertakings, and resist supportive roles. You
seek the forefront and the limelight.
You are exceptionally creative and original and possess a touch of the unusual. Your
approach to problems is unique and you have the courage to wander from the beaten path.
You can be impatient with your shortcomings and those of others.
You are very concerned with your status and foster the appearance of success and self-satisfaction.
The need to appear well-off propels you to strive for growth, success and the finer things
of life.
You should watch out for selfishness, conceit and the over-concern with appearance. You
must guard against overzealous behavior, anger and aggressiveness. If these qualities
are not brought under control you could become excessively domineering, vindictive and
even violent. You perform best when you are left to your own devices. Ideally you should
own your own business and be your own boss. Hold fast to your life's dream and work with
the determination you possess to realize it. You can become overly stressed by your driven
nature. Be careful about the food you eat and maintain an exercise program you enjoy.
Competition sports are often a healthy outlet for a person with your drive, particularly
sports involving running and swimming. Don't let pride and overconfidence be your masters.
Remember, your talents and abilities are a gift from a higher source, which should promote
gratitude and humility, rather than pride and conceit.
More often than not a person with a 1 Life Path will achieve much in life as long as
the drive, creativity, originality and pioneering spirit are fully employed!
2 Life Path
The key word in your nature is peacemaker. You have the soul of an artist. You are extremely
sensitive, perceptive, and a bit shy. These qualities are both your strengths and weaknesses,
for while you possess enormous sensitivity to your feelings and those of others, that
same sensitivity can cause you to hold back and repress your considerable talents. Sensitivity
and perceptiveness are among your many fine qualities.
Because you intuitively know what people want, or feel, you can be extremely diplomatic
and tactful. You are also patient and cooperative. You work well with groups and somehow
find a way of creating harmony among diverse opinions.
You enjoy music and poetry and require a harmonious environment.
You have an eye for beauty and a fine sense of balance and rhythm. You have healing capabilities,
especially in such fields as massage, acupuncture, physical therapy, and counseling.
However, your sensitivity can also be your downfall. Your extremely delicate ego bruises
easily and can make too much of someone else's thoughtless remarks or criticisms. Because
you get hurt easily, you may tend to withhold your own thoughts and contributions to the
matter at hand. This can cause you considerable resentment and anger.
Too often, you run from confrontation to avoid a battle.
When you employ your considerable inner strength, you will discover your enormous power
and abilities to direct difficult situations toward your own goals. It is the awareness
of your inner strength that will give you the courage to use your own personal power when
it is needed. You are a sensitive and passionate lover, your perceptiveness makes you
aware of your partner's needs and desires, which you are able to fulfill with almost magical
delicacy.
However, when you feel you have been mistreated or jilted, you can react with devastating
power, sometimes using personal criticisms vindictively. Your awareness, diplomatic skills,
and organizational talents give you the ability to bring off difficult tasks. You willingly
step out of the limelight to facilitate the success of your endeavor. In truth, you are
often the power behind the throne. However, you do not always receive the credit you deserve
for the fine work you've done, or your role is underestimated and your accomplishments
overlooked. Rather than brood over your losses, you need to confront those who would make
less of your contributions and stand up for your accomplishments. You need security and
comfort, quiet settings, and the company of loved ones. You are a perfectionist when it
comes to your home and work environment. You have excellent taste which is obvious in
your private surroundings. You are a fine companion and possess a good sense of humor.
Friends seek you out for your calming and peaceful company. You are a safe haven to other
sensitive people, who recognize your compassion and understanding. When you have found
your niche in life, you have all the talents and intelligence for great success. Seek
out work that allows your sensitive nature to flourish -- be the glue that binds others
together.
3 Life Path
You possess a great talent for creativity and self-expression. Many writers, poets, actors
and musicians are born under the 3 Life Path. You are witty, possess a gift for gab, and
savor the limelight. Your talent for the expressive arts is so abundant that you may well
have felt drawn to becoming an artist while still very young. Your artistic abilities
can only be developed, however, through discipline and commitment to the true development
of your talent. Commitment, concentration and hard work are the only means of bringing
forth your talent. Thanks to your gift for self expression, you can be the life of the
party, and the center of attention. However, you could easily squander your talent by
becoming a social butterfly. Your creativity is the gift that can give you the comfort
and luxury you desire, but not without continual focus and discipline. You are optimistic
and possess the resilience to overcome many setbacks. You are socially active, popular,
and inspire people with your sunny "happy go lucky" attitude. You can be generous
to a fault. Many people born under the 3 Life Path have difficulty handling money because
they can be disorganized and not particularly serious about their responsibilities. You
are emotional and vulnerable. When hurt, you withdraw into a cloud of silence, eventually
emerging from your reticence with jokes and laughter that cover up your true feelings.
You can become moody and cynical when depressed. You can succumb to sarcastic remarks,
which can be painful to those around you. When used positively, your talent for self expression
can be a great inspiration force in the world, uplifting others, and bringing much success
and happiness to you.
4 Life Path
You are practical, down to earth with strong ideas about right and wrong. You are orderly
and organized, systematic and controlled. You are decisive and methodical employing a
step by step rational approach to problems solving. Once committed you do not give up
easily!
You are not one for "get rich quick" schemes. Rather you use hard work and
long hours to build a business or career -- you seek to establish a solid foundation.
Precise, tenacious and persevering, you have great potential for success, but only after
putting out effort and overcoming the limitations you so often encounter. Justice and
honesty are sacred to you. You are reliable and dependable, a cornerstone in the community.
Though not an idealist, you are willing to work for a better world in a realistic way.
However, you can be rigid in your ideas and sometimes too quick in judging your fellow
man. You are loyal to those you love and work well with others. It is important that while
being part of a team you have your own responsibility and well-defined task. You perform
better when your responsibilities are not overlapping with those of others. You have to
be careful not to be bossy and rude. You possess rare discipline and perseverance and
not everyone can keep up with you.
You can handle money carefully and like the security of a nest egg.
Your love of work often leads you into a career early in life. Because of your methodical
nature you can easily become rigid and stuck in convention. You can also be overly cautious
when changes are necessary. This can cause you to miss opportunities that present themselves.
You must cultivate flexibility in your character. You are well suited for marriage and
often become a responsible loving parent. However, anything that violates your profound
sense of order, such as separation or divorce can be a shattering experience for you.
You easily become obsessed and even vengeful, seeking your own definition of justice.
You are courageous and a true survivor. You are a builder and the foundation of any enterprise.
Your hard work and practical, traditional values pay off to provide you with the rewards
you seek and deserve.
5 Life Path
The key to your personality is freedom. You love travel, adventure, variety and meeting
new people. You possess the curiosity of a cat and long to experience all of life. You
love to be involved in several things at the same time as long as you are not tied down
to any one area. You like change, new things and new horizons. You make friends easily,
your personality is upbeat and often inspiring attracting people from all walks of life.
You have a way with words and an uncanny ability to motivate others. You can be in sales,
advertising, publicity, promotion, politics or any profession that requires your communication
skills and understanding of people. You likely lack discipline and order. You can also
be impulsive, doing or expressing things you regret later. Freedom and a need for adventure
sometimes is not properly controlled by those born with this Life Path, causing problems
with drug abuse, overindulgence in food or sex, or generally abusing the gift of life.
You are sensual and love to taste all of life. Sex, food and other sensory experiences
are essential to the enjoyment of your life. You find it difficult to commit to one relationship,
but once committed you can be as faithful as an old dog. You are multi-talented and possess
a variety of diverse abilities. However, discipline and focus are the true keys to your
success. Without these many of the tasks you begin will remain unfinished and you will
fail to realize the true fruits of your abilities. With hard work and perseverance the
sky is the limit. You may have been perceived as a wild child by adults and a source of
concern by your family. However, do not be obliged to hurry your choice of career. You
are often a late-bloomer and need to experience life before you can truly know and commit
to your heart's desire. Your challenge is to learn the true meaning of freedom. Change
is constant in your world requiring adaptability and courage. Try to maintain an exercise
program, keep your body in shape and limber. The flexibility and durability of your body
will promote security and confidence within you. You yearn for freedom and self-employment
attracts you powerfully. Your challenge is to settle into one area to cultivate your ability
sufficiently to earn a living and attain success. Once you find your niche the motivation
and inspiration you supply others will bring you much in return. You will find your friends
and colleagues supporting and promoting you on the road to success.
6 Life Path
You possess great compassion and seek to be of service to others. You have concern for
the weak and the downtrodden. You are a healer and a helper to others. You are capable
of giving comfort to those in need and will frequently offer a shoulder for others to
cry on.
Your task in life is to develop the tools necessary to be truly helpful to others, rather
than to simply be a sympathetic ear. You must find the balance between help and interference.
In the same way, you must learn the delicate art of the counselor who knows when to leave
the struggle to others and when to avoid taking away the necessary experiences and lessons
of life.
You are naturally balanced. Therefore, you are well equipped to support and ground others
in times of trial.
It is in your nature to take on responsibility -- you often fill the void left by others
-- and do not turn away from personal sacrifice. At times, you may feel overburdened by
the travails of others. However, the love others bestow upon you is your well deserved
reward.
You try to maintain harmony within the family or group, balancing and fusing divergent
forces. You seek marriage and are often a wonderful parent, offering warmth, protection,
and understanding to children.
You are generous, kind, and attractive. You are often admired even adored which baffles
you. You are humble and yet you carry a deep pride. You move well and gracefully, but
will have to work to stay in shape. Seek out physical exercise and limit the sweets and
dairy you crave to keep yourself from becoming plump and round.
When young, you must be careful not to chose partners for the wrong reasons. Do not let
sentimentality influence your decision, especially those involving the choice of a spouse.
You need to be needed, but must learn to discriminate between those you can help and others
who are made weaker by your care.
After all, it is in your nature to be attracted to the weaker brothers and sisters among
us.
The temptation and the danger for you is to think of yourself as the savior of the world,
carrying the burdens of others on your shoulders.
You are blessed with musical talent, as well as in the visual and performing arts. However,
your creativity may well be suppressed due to your willingness to sacrifice, or your inability
to fully appreciate your talents. This is not to say that you cannot excel in these areas;
on the contrary, you have the talent, and with effort you can make a success in a number
of artistic fields.
You also have enormous talent in business. You are blessed with a great deal of charm
and charisma, which you use effectively to attract the people and support you need.
7 Life Path
You are the searcher and the seeker of the truth.
You have a clear and compelling sense of yourself as a spiritual being. As a result,
your life path is devoted to investigations into the unknown, and finding the answers
to the mysteries of life.
You are well-equipped to handle your task. You possess a fine mind; you are an analytical
thinker, capable of great concentration and theoretical insight. You enjoy research, and
putting the pieces of an intellectual puzzle together. Once you have enough pieces in
place, you are capable of highly creative insight and practical solutions to problems.
You enjoy your solitude and prefer to work alone. You need time to contemplate your ideas
without the intrusion of other people's thoughts. You are a lone wolf, a person who lives
by his own ideas and methods. As a result, close associations are difficult for you to
form and keep, especially marriage. You need your space and privacy, which, when violated,
can cause you great frustration and irritation.
When your life is balanced, however, you are both charming and attractive. You can be
the life of a party, and enjoy performing before an audience. You enjoy displaying your
wit and knowledge, which makes you attractive to others, especially the opposite sex.
But you have distinct limits. While you are generous in social situations, sharing your
attention and energy freely, you are keenly aware of the need to "come off stage"
and return to the solitude of your lair. You associate peace with the unobtrusive privacy
of your world. Therefore, intimacy is difficult for you, because you guard your inner
world like a mother lion does her cubs.
All this privacy and aloneness can cause isolation and loneliness, however. You can be
aware of an emptiness in your life, a part of you that yearns for company and close companionship
that may be unsatisfied.
If isolation is brought to the extreme, you can become cynical and suspicious. You can
develop hidden, selfish motives, which people may sense and may cause them discomfort
around you. You must guard against becoming too withdrawn and independent, thus shutting
out the love of others and keeping you from experiencing the true joy of friendship and
close companionship.
You must especially watch out for selfishness and egocentricity, thinking of yourself
as the center of the universe, the only person who really matters. Social contact gives
you perspective on yourself and on life, while too much isolation can make you too narrow
and even shut off from the rest of the world.
Secretly, you may feel jealous of the easy relationships formed by others; you may perceive
others as less inhibited than you, or more free to express themselves. You may harshly
criticize yourself for not being more gregarious, powerful, or capable of greater leadership.
Your challenge in life is to maintain your independence without feeling isolated or ineffectual.
You must hold fast to your unique view on the world, while at the same time being open
to others and the knowledge they have to offer.
With your abilities to learn, analyze, and seek out answer's to life's important questions,
you have the potential for enormous growth and success in life. By the time you reach
middle age, you will radiate refinement and wisdom.
Pythagoras loved the seven for its great spiritual potential.
8 Life Path
You are gifted with natural leadership and the capacity to accumulate great wealth. You
have great talent for management in all areas of life, especially in business and financial
matters. You understand the material world; you intuitively know what makes virtually
any enterprise work. Your talent lies not with the bookkeeping or petty management, but
with the greater vision, it's purpose, and long range goals.
You are a visionary and a bit reckless. You possess the ability to inspire people to
join you in your quest, but often they are incapable of seeing what you see. Therefore,
those around you need your continual guidance, inspiration, and encouragement. You must
prod them into action and direct them along the lines of your vision.
You attract financial success more than any other Life Path, but effort is required.
Your challenge in life is to achieve a high degree of detachment, to understand that
power and influence must be used for the benefit of mankind. Those born with the Number
8 Life Path who do not understand the real and relative value of money are bound to suffer
the consequences of greed; they run the risk of losing it all!
You must learn to bounce back from failures and defeats. You have the character and resilience
of a true survivor. It is not uncommon for a person with your Life Path to experience
major reverses, including bankruptcies, and financial failure, but you also have the talent
and the sheer guts to make more than one fortune, and build many successful enterprises.
More than most people, your failures in marriage can be extremely expensive for you.
Despite the difficulties that life presents, you will experience the satisfaction that
comes from material wealth and the power that comes with it.
Business, finance, real estate, law, science (particularly history, archeology, and physics),
publishing, and the management of large institutions are among the vocational fields that
suit you best. You are naturally attracted to positions of influence and leadership --
politics, social work, and teaching are among the many other areas where your abilities
can shine.
You are a good judge of character, which aids you well in attracting the right people
to you.
Most 8s like large families and sometimes tend to keep others dependent longer than necessary.
Although jovial in nature you are not demonstrative in showing your love and affection.
The desire for luxury and comfort is especially strong in you. Status is very important.
You must be careful to avoid living above your means.
Your Life Path treads that dangerous ground where power lies -- and can corrupt. You
may become too self important, arrogant, and domineering, thinking that your way is the
only way. This leads inevitably to isolation and conflict. The people you run the risk
of hurting most are those you love, your family and friends.
Be careful of becoming stubborn, intolerant, overbearing, and impatient. These characteristics
may be born early in the life of an 8 Life Path, who often learn these negative traits
after suffering under a tyrannical parent or a family burdened by repressive religious
or intellectual dogmas.
Those with the 8 Life Path usually possess a strong physique, which is a symptom of their
inherent strength and resiliency.
9 Life Path
You are the philanthropist, humanitarian, socially conscious, and are deeply concerned
about the state of the world. You have great compassion and idealism. You are a utopian,
and will spend your life trying to realize some aspect of your utopian dream, sacrificing
money, time, and energy for a better world. It is in giving that you will find much satisfaction.
You have a broad outlook on life. You tend to see the big picture, rather than the minute
details. You naturally attract people from all walks of life who can fit into your larger
plans and take over the areas you find uninteresting. The person with a 9 Life Path is
rarely prejudiced or accepts social biases of other people. Instead, they evaluate people
on the basis of what they can do for the larger cause. They are the true egalitarian.
You are imaginative and creative, especially at harmoniously arranging the beauty already
potential in the environment. These abilities can lead you into such fields as interior
decorating, landscape art, and photography. But because of your strong social consciousness,
you can be an effective politician, lawyer, judge, minister, teacher, healer, and environmentalist.
Vocations that require self -- sacrifice and have a clear social impact are common among
9s.
You are often disappointed by the realities of life: the shortcomings of others, or of
yourself. Somehow, you don't want to accept the imperfections of the world, a feeling
that drives you constantly to try to improve upon it. But rather than be satisfied with
your efforts, and those of others, you relentlessly push on, striving for greater accomplishments.
You are often unsatisfied with the results. In short, you lack the perspective that would
otherwise make it possible for you to enjoy life more fully, and accept its natural limitations.
You have a controlled enthusiasm and the ability to finish what you start.
A key to your personality is the necessity of sacrifice. You have to learn to let go
of material possessions and relationships, the inherent lesson being that holding on too
tightly to anything causes pain.
Money comes to you through mysterious or unexpected ways: inheritance; the benevolence
of someone who was inspired by your work; or a lucky investment.
Conversely, if you pursue money for its own sake, after giving up on your larger dreams,
you're likely to find yourself empty-handed.
The most successful and satisfying road for a 9 is giving, sharing, and sacrificing for
a larger goal without expecting anything in return. Your greatest chance at success is
to tie your personal fortunes to an endeavor that makes the world a better place for others.
Very often, this turns into a highly successful and lucrative enterprise, providing amply
for you and your family. Your life rests on the axiom that the more you give, the bigger
your reward.
You are romantic, but your love is more impersonal. You tend to be focused on your dreams.
When you are not in harmony with your true nature, you can fall to moodiness, or become
aloof, and withdrawn. You can become timid, uncertain, and ungrateful, putting the blame
for your troubles on others or the world. You have a gift for examining your life objectively,
and at some distance. Be honest with yourself. By openly facing your shortcomings, as
well as your strengths, you develop equilibrium. You are thus able to love and better
understand yourself and all of life.
11 Life Path
You have the potential to be a source of inspiration and illumination for people. You
possess an inordinate amount of energy and intuition. There is so much going on in your
psyche that you are often misunderstood early in life, making you shy and withdrawn. You
have far more potential than you know.
You galvanize every situation you enter. You inspire people, but without your conscious
effort. Energy seems to flow through you without your controlling it. This gives you both
power and sometimes emotional turmoil.
You are a channel for information between the higher and the lower, between the realm
of the archetype and the relative world. Ideas, thoughts, understanding, and insight --
all of these can come to you without your having to go through a rational thought process.
There seems to be a bridge, or connection, between your conscious and unconscious realms,
attuning you to a high level of intuition through which even psychic information can flow.
All of this amounts to a great capacity for invention. Many inventors, artists, religious
leaders, prophets, and leading figures in history have had the 11 prominent in their chart.
Because you are so highly charged, you experience the consequences of a two-edged sword.
You possess great abilities, but indulge in much self-reflection and self -- criticism.
You often feel highly self-conscious. You are aware on some level that you stand out.
Even when you try to blend with your environment, you often feel conspicuous, alien, and
out-of-place.
You are blessed with a message, or a specific role to play in life. But you must develop
yourself sufficiently to take full advantage of that opportunity. Until that time, your
inner development takes precedence over your ability to materialize the great undertaking
you were chosen to perform. Consequently, 11s seem to develop slowly, but they simply
have more to accomplish in their evolution than the average person. Thus, your real success
does not usually begin until maturity, between the ages of 35 and 45, when you have progressed
further along your path.
You may often be frustrated, largely because you have extremely high expectations of
yourself. But these expectations can be unrealistic, and can prevent you from accomplishing
anything. You can be very impractical, envisioning a skyscraper when all that was necessary
was a two-story house.
You may also suffer from bouts of confusion and lack of direction. This gives rise to
loss of confidence and the onset of deep depression. The cause of these emotional problems
is your lack of understanding of your own sensitivity and potential. Your desire to achieve
some great ambition is enormous. However, a lack of confidence in your own ability to
realize this dream may cause you much frustration. You sense the enormous potential you
possess, which requires equally enormous confidence in your ability to materialize your
dream. Confidence is the key that unlocks your potential.
On a strictly physical level, you must protect your nervous system, which is inordinately
vulnerable to stress because of your acute sensitivity. Depression is often the result
of long periods of stress that have gone unrelieved. Seek out peaceful and harmonious
environments, relaxing music, and follow a healthful diet in order to restore balance
and peace.
As an 11 Life Path, you are a highly charged version of the 2 and possess many of the
characteristics and talents of that number.
You can be extremely diplomatic and tactful. You are also patient and cooperative. You
work well with groups and somehow find a way of creating harmony among diverse opinions.
You enjoy music and poetry and require a harmonious environment. You have an eye for beauty
and a fine sense of balance and rhythm. You have healing capabilities, especially in such
fields as massage, acupuncture, physical therapy, and counseling.
You are a sensitive and passionate lover; your perceptiveness makes you aware of your
partner's needs and desires, which you are able to fulfill with almost magical delicacy.
However, when you feel you have been mistreated or jilted, you can react with devastating
power, sometimes using personal criticisms vindictively.
You are a fine companion and possess a good sense of humor.
When you have found your niche in life and begun to realize your true potential, your
rewards will more than compensate for your trials earlier in life.
22 Life Path
You were born under the most powerful and potentially the most successful of all Life
Path numbers. It offers you the extremes of life's possibilities: on one hand, you have
the potential to be the Master Builder, the person capable of perceiving something great
in the archetypal world and manifesting it in the relative world; on the other hand, you
can slip into the depths of obscurity, achieving little more than personal support.
Your power is delicate. It exists by virtue of your ideals and vision, which you must
use to inspire others to join you in your dream. Only by marshalling collective forces
are you able to bring together the necessary elements -- people, ideas, resources -- that
will enable you to realize your goals.
Consequently, your Life Path is one requiring dramatic evolution. By being able to integrate
seemingly conflicting characteristics within yourself -- your inspiring vision and your
natural tendency toward practicality, for example -- you develop the talent to deal effectively
with a great variety of people. This allows you to understand and unite many differing
people toward a single goal, melding them into a concerted whole. Your task in life is
to unite the dream with the bottom line.
In short, you are the visionary with your feet on the ground.
You are good at business and politics. You naturally understand large institutions, and
have the ability to think and act on an international scale.
You are gifted with uncommonly sound common sense. You are able to see the beauty and
potential in a given idea, but also the practical methods that will bring it to fruition.
Somehow, you understand the limitations of ideas -- what will work and what will not.
This is an intuitive gift that can evaluate possibilities on the basis of their practicality.
While in many aspects the 22 is the most promising number, it is also the most difficult
to live up to. You have a great ambition, which can be a most difficult master, driving
you to accomplish all that you are capable of.
You are a steady partner in any relationship. You offer sound advice and consistent emotional
support. You do not suffer from flights of fancy, and naturally resist the emotional heights.
You are unconventional in thought and action, but tend to be traditional in appearance.
You avoid airs and pretension.
Your challenge is to share your vision and allow others to make their personal contributions.
That requires flexibility on your part, perhaps your weakest characteristic. You often
lack faith in the ability of others. Therefore, you tend to control people and situations,
and are sometimes tempted to manipulate.
In the end, you must learn to surrender to the larger cause that you serve. The final
result may be quite different from your original vision, but with faith and commitment
you will make an enduring impact on the world.
