Numerology—The
Life Path Number

For more information on this
subject, please see the "Numerology/Numbers of
Destiny" thread where you will find information
on "The Core Numbers." The most important
number in your numerology chart is based on the date
of your birth, the moment when the curtain goes up in
your life. This number is called the Life Path number.
It can be compared to the plot of a potential play.
The Life Path number gives us a broad outline of the
opportunities, challenges, and lessons we will encounter
in this lifetime.
Finding Your Life Path
Number
Your Life Path number is the sum of the month of your
birth, plus the day of your birth, plus the year of
your birth.
To find your Life Path number,
begin by turning the month, day, and year of your birth
into single digit numbers. For example, let's say you
were born on December 25, 1964. December is the twelfth
month of the year. To turn 12 into a single-digit number,
add the 1 and the 2 of 12 to get the 3. December is
therefore a 3 month.
To turn the twenty-fifth
day into a single-digit number, add the 2 and the 5
of 25 to arrive at 7. The number 25 is therefore a 7.
To turn 1964 into a single-digit
number, add the 1 + 9 + 6 + 4 to get 20. Then add the
2 and the 0 of 20 to get 2.
Now, to find your Life Path
number, add these three single-digit numbers together.
In the example, I add the 3, 7 and 2 (3 + 7 + 2) and
arrive at 12. The 12 is reduced to 3 by adding 1 and
2.
Another way to illustrate
these steps is as follows, using this example:
December = 12 (the twelfth month) = 1 + 2....3
25 (the twenty-fifth day) = 2 + 5.................7
1966 = 1 + 9 + 6 + 4; 20 = 2 + 0 =.................2
.......................................................__
Total:.................................................12
= 1 + 2 = 3
The life Path number is 3.
The only correct way of arriving
at the Life Path number is by turning the month, day,
and year of your birth into single-digit numbers first,
and then adding the three single digits together. Never
add the three whole numbers (12 + 26 + 1966).
Only by adding single-digit
numbers can you accurately arrive at the Master numbers
(11 and 22) that may be in your chart. As explained
in the Master numbers post , Master numbers are the
only two-digit numbers that are not reduced to single-digits
when calculating the chart.
For example, let's say you
were born on May 29, 1948.
Using the correct way of
calculating the Life Path number, we would do the following:
May is the 5th month.........5
29 = 2 + 9.......................11
(Eleven is a Master number, and it is not reduced.)
1948 = 1 + 9 + 4 +
8...........22
(This is, again a Master number, and it is not reduced.)
....................................__
Total:............................38
= 3 + 8 = 11
The life Path number is 11.
A Life Path number of 11 or 22 are Master numbers, and
they are not reduced.
The wrong method of calculating
the Life Path is to total the whole numbers first, then
reduce.
This results in an incorrect
Life Path number. The example using May 29, 1948 illustrates
this point: May......................5
29.......................29
1948.................1948
.......................____
.......................1982
1982 = 1 + 9 + 8 + 2 = 20;
20 is reduced to 2 by adding 2 + 0.
Using that method, the Life
Path would be 2, not 11. You would have missed the Master
number.
Often people go to great
lengths to manipulate the math in order to place a Master
number in their chart. This is based on a misunderstanding
of the Master numbers.
Master numbers are extremely
challenging for those who have them in their charts.
They are highly paradoxical in nature. On one hand,
they connote great potential, and the presence of some
highly developed ability. On the other hand, they represent
a great deal of inner tension, which originates from
a deep desire to achieve some high ideal. The presence
of a Master number suggests the influence of an archetype,
or a highly focused energy, that directs one's life
toward a goal.
The term Master number is
not given to the 11 and 22 because they are masters
in the family of numbers, but because they symbolize
the presence of a powerful energy within the psyche
of the individual. Because that energy is so powerful,
it can easily take control of a person's life. In effect,
it becomes the person's master. It is the challenge
of the individual with the master number to take charge
of that energy, and to use it according to your own
choices.
Understanding and using a
Master number is a gradual process, and it is usually
not until maturity is reached that you take full control
of your Master number. It is at this point that the
Master number becomes truly rewarding.

1 LIFE PATH
|
|
If
you have a 1 Life Path, you are a born leader.
You insist on your right to make up your own mind,
and 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 your responsibility
to be the protector and provider for those you
love. You demand respect and attention and you
become irritated and even domineering when important
things do not go your way. You need to feel in
command of important undertakings, and you resist
supportive roles. You seek the foreground and
the limelight. You are exceptionally creative
and original, and you 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 you 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 an 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 in construction
or crafts, and you should 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 that involve 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.
Your talents are varied and your potential for
success is considerable. You may be attracted
to business, the military, or governmental institutions,
as long as you have a leadership role and the
possibility to do things your way.

2
LIFE PATH
|
The
key word in your nature is peacemaker. You are
extremely sensitive, perceptive, and a bit shy.
These qualities are both your strengths and your
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 you 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 consoling. However, your
sensitivity can also be your downfall. Your
extremely delicate ego bruises easily, and you
can make too much of someone else's thoughtless
remarks or criticisms. Because you are easily
hurt, 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 will step out of the limelight to
facilitate the success of your endeavor. In
truth, you are often the power behind the throne.
However, you often do not 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 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. Counseling, teaching, and healing
are the areas that offer you success and satisfaction.
You are also uniquely suited for a career in
music, architecture, advertising, agriculture,
industrial design, fashion, repairing watches
and other fine machinery. Politics and law allow
you to use your considerable talents in negotiation
and problem solving.

3
LIFE PATH
|
|
As
a 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. However, your artistic abilities
can only be developed through discipline and commitment
to the true development of 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 you 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 inspirational force in the world,
uplifting others, and bringing much success and
happiness to you.

4
LIFE PATH
|
|
The
4 Life Path is practical and down-to-earth, with
strong ideas about right and wrong. You are orderly
and organized, systematic and controlled, and
you are decisive and methodical, employing a step-by-step
rational approach to problem 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 while building 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 by 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, but you perform better
when your responsibilities are not overlapping
with those of others. Your potential for success
is particularly good in areas such as banking,
accounting, management, organization, building,
agriculture, science, and the legal fields. You
have to be careful not to be bossy and rude. You
possess a rare discipline and perseverance, and
not everyone can keep up with you. You can handle
money carefully, and you 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 can 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 you 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, and 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. Highly
suitable vocations for you include sales, promotion,
entertainment, investment, science, medicine,
the occult, public service, and all careers that
require travel and verbal skills. A person with
a 5 Life Path is often comfortable in front of
an audience, particularly as master of ceremonies
or in comedy. You are sensual and you 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 likely lack
discipline and order. You can also be impulsive,
doing or expressing things you regret later. Freedom
and a need for adventure sometimes are not properly
controlled by those born with this Life Path,
which can cause problems with drug abuse, overindulgence
in food or sex, or general abuse of the gift of
life. You are multitalented 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 as 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 you 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 in
order to cultivate your ability sufficiently
to earn a living, and to attain success. Once
you find your niche, the motivation and inspiration
you supply to 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 you 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 you 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
you 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 you 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
choose partners for the wrong reasons. Do not
let sentimentality influence your decisions,
especially those involving the choice of a spouse.
You need to be needed, but you must learn to
discriminate between those who 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 talent in the visual
and performing arts. However, your creativity
may 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
the support you need. Other vocations that offer
you potential for success are mostly found in
the areas of healing, teaching, hospitality,
management of apartment complex or government
institutions, and anything related to animals.

7
LIFE PATH
|
|
The
7 Life Path is the searcher and the seeker of
truth. You have a clear and compelling sense of
yourself as a spiritual being. As a result, your
goal is devoted to investigations into the unknown,
and to 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 who is 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 of practical
solutions to problems. You enjoy your solitude,
preferring 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 your own ideas and methods. As a result, close
associations are difficult for you to form and
to 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
you 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 to 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. However,
all this privacy and solitude can cause isolation
and loneliness. 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 this may cause them to be uncomfortable around
you. You must guard against becoming too withdrawn
and too 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 of the world, while
at the same time being open to others, and to
the knowledge they have to offer. With your abilities
to learn, analyze, and seek out answers 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. Pythagorus, who lived more than 2,500
years ago and is often called the father of numerology,
loved the 7 for its great spiritual potential.
The person with a 7 Life Path often finds success
and satisfaction in business, science, religion,
insurance, invention, the occult, and anything
related to research.
|
|
8
LIFE PATH
|
Those
with the 8 Life Path 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,
its purpose, and its long-range goals. You are
a visionary and you are 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 challenges in life are to achieve
a high degree of detachment, and 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 bankruptcy and financial failure, but
you also have the talent and the sheer guts to
make more than one fortune, and to 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. Civil government,
sports, and journalism are other areas that
require the characteristics of the 8. You are
a good judge of character, which aids you well
in attracting the right people to you. Most
8s like large families, and they 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 learns 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 philanthropic, humanitarian, socially conscious,
and 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 minute details.
You naturally attract people from all walks of
life who can fit into your larger plans, and who
take over the areas you find uninteresting. The
person with a 9 Life Path is rarely prejudiced
and rarely accepts others' social biases. Instead,
you evaluate people on the basis of what they
can do for the larger cause. You are the true
egalitarian. You are imaginative and creative,
especially at harmoniously arranging the beauty
that is 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, or environmentalist.
Vocations that require self-sacrifice, and that
have a clear social impact, are common among 9s.
You are often disappointed by the realities of
life: the shortcomings of others or 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 to 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 greater 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
will be 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 to better understand yourself
and all of life.

22
LIFE PATH
|
You
were born under the most powerful and potentially
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 of 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 goal is one that requires 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 to
unite many different peoples 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 also
share the vocations of the 4.) 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 flight of fancy,
and you naturally resist the emotional heights.
You are unconventional in thought and action,
but tend to be traditional in appearance. You
avoid airs and pretensions. Your challenge is
to share your vision, and to 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.
