What Is Numerology ?
Numerology is the easiest of the occult arts and is easy to understand and use. All that is needed is the birth date and the complete name of an individual to unlock all of the secrets that the numbers hold and then the future course of the individual can be derived from it.
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 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 many individuals, the master numbers operate at a much more tangible or practical level, becoming essentially the same as the single digit parallel.
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.

What is Life Path Number?
The Life Path is the sum of the birth date of an individual. This number represents who you are at birth and the native traits that you will carry with you through life. The Life Path describes the nature of this journey through life.
How to find the Life Path Number?
This is a number that is derived from all the numbers in your birth date. The Life Path number is established from the date of birth. 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.
Example: Date of Birth: February 8, 1939 (2-8-1939). Add the month (2) to the day (8) plus the total of the digits in the year (22). The total comes to 32. Then add this number together. 3+2=5; the Life Path Number is 5.
Example: Date of Birth: February 8, 1939 (2-8-1939). Add the month (2) to the day (8) plus the total of the digits in the year (22). The total comes to 32. Then add this number together. 3+2=5; the Life Path Number is 5.
No: 1
The Life Path 1 drive in this life is characterized by individualist desires, independence, and the need for personal attainment. The purpose to be fulfilled on this Life Path 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. Many of our Generals, corporate leaders, and political leaders are men and women having the Life Path number 1. The 1 always has the potential for greatness as a leader, but they 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. The individual with Life Path 1 has to overcome an environment in which it is very easy to be dependent, and difficult to be independent.
Postitive Traits : A person with positive 1 traits abounds in creative inspiration, and 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. This is both the physical and inner varieties of strength. 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. 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 are ambitious, and either understand or must learn the need for aggressive action to promote yourself. Although you may hide the fact for social reasons, you are highly self-centered and demand to have your way in most circumstances.
Negative Traits : 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. 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 is 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. Over-confidence and
impatience
mark this individual.
No: 2
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 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

Negative Traits : 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.

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.
Negative Traits : 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.
No: 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

Negative Traits : 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.

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.

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.
Postitive Traits : 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.
Negative Traits : 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.

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

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.
Postitive Traits : 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.

become overwhelmed by responsibilities and a slave to 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.
No: 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. 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.

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 aren't one to have a wide
circle of
friends, but once you accept someone as a friend, it's for life.

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.
Negative Traits : 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.

on learning the satisfactions to be found in the material world. The
Life Path 8
produces many powerful, confident and materially successful people.

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.

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.

person are compassion, generosity, and a very humanitarian attitude..

number produces an individual that is very trustworthy and
honorable. 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

spiritual leaders, healers and educators frequently have much 9 energy.

Negative Traits : 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.
No: 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

deep-thinking, and you are no doubt interested in understanding many of
life's mysteries and more intriguing facets. Your inventive mind

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.
Negative Traits : 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.
No: 22
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

great deal with relatively little effort.

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.
Negative Traits : 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.
