Read before digging in... Numerology is perhaps the easiest of the occult arts to understand and use. All you need is the birth
date and the complete name of an individual to unlock all of the secrets that the numbers hold. 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 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 Lifepath Number and a variety of other factors in the numerology reading. We will also be converting your FULL BIRTH NAME* to a number.
Letters and numbers, you will learn, are always one and the same. Here is a chart of the values assigned to each of the letters
in the English alphabet: | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | | A | B | C | D | E | F | G | H | I | | J | K | L | M | N | O | P | Q | R | | S | T | U | V | W | X | Y | Z | | • Note:
Most authorities agree that the full birth name as recorded on your birth certificate is the name that must be used for all
calculations involving name. Nicknames, changed names including marriage name changes do not delute the importance of the
name given to by your parents. THE SOUL URGE The Soul
Urge or as it is sometimes called, the heart's desire, is an important core influence in numerology. However, the Soul Urge
falls well below the Lifepath (the birth date number) and Destiny (the full birth name) numbers in importance, because this
is a number that you don't expose overtly to those around you. It is your inner cravings, likes and dislikes, which are usually
kept rather private. This number denotes what you value most regardless of Life Path (what you are from birth) and expression
(what you will become in life). This influence suggests the nature that drives you in your daily life. Satisfying the demands
of the Soul Urge will give you a sense of inner peace and contentment. This number is made up from the vowels (a,
e, i, o and u) in your full birth name just as it is recorded on your birth certificate. The sum of all of these
letter, converted to numbers, and reduced to a single number or a master number is your Soul Urge. Here is a chart reflecting the number value of the vowels and sometime vowels: | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | | A | - | - | - | E | - | - | - | I | | - | - | - | - | - | O | - | - | - | | - | - | U | - | W* | - | Y* | - | - |

A number derived from all of the letters
in your FULL BIRTH NAME make up what is called the Expression or Destiny number. Although this number is called both of these
names, throughout this website it will be referred to as the Destiny number. Destiny is a very descriptive word for the meaning
of this important core element. This is the number that describes the tasks that you must achieve in this lifetime using the
name that was given to you by your parents. This name, the complete birth name, symbolizes the opportunities you have at your
disposal. This is sometimes referred to as your potential or destiny. Living up to attributes of this number may not be easy,
but it is your goal in the here and now. It is your life's purpose, spiritual mission, and your field of opportunity.
Unlike the Life Path number which reads as you are, the Destiny number more correctly reads as you MUST or what you
can aspire to become. To arrive at your Destiny number, take each
name separately and add up the letter values using the conversion chart below. Reduce each name to a single digit . Then add
the results of all of the names to arrive at a total which you then once again reduce to a single digit.Don't use nicknames, assumed name, deviations in spelling used, or omit any part of
the birth name. Use it as it appears on the birth certificate. Don't worry about changes to the name (married name, etc.),
just stay with complete birth name. Don't count Jr. Sr., III, etc. following the name.If you want to explore other names you use, or if you are considering a name change, go here. Planning to name a new baby, go here. For my thoughts on the MASTER NUMBERS, visit here.The only exception
to this is in the case of adoption shortly after birth, and here the name given in the adopting home should be used.Here is how to turn letters in the full name to a Destiny Number: | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | | A | B | C | D | E | F | G | H | I | | J | K | L | M | N | O | P | Q | R | | S | T | U | V | W | X | Y | Z | . |
Often, others
will get credit for your ideas, and this must be of little real concern to you as you skill as a team play progresses. Cooperative,
courteous, and considerate, you have the capacity to become an outstanding facilitator. You will have the capacity to organize
and handle people, just as you will handle detail, rarely overlook anything.As you fulfill your destiny, tactful and friendly behavior will increase your popularity, and nearly everyone will
like you. Perhaps this is also because you are more content working with your ideals, rather than dollars and cents. The positive
aspect of the number 2 Destiny is an always idealistic attitude. This is even more accentuated in the master number 11/2.The negative 2 personality can be oversensitive and easily hurt. Too much of this number
in your makeup can make you very shy and uncertain. Sometimes the excessive 2 energies makes one apathetic and somewhat indifferent
to the job at hand; the ability to handle details is hampered in these cases.Some 2s, and especially the 11/2s, struggle with a continuous sense of nervous tension; you may be too sensitive
and temperamental. You tend to dream a lot and may be more of a dreamer than a doer. Fantasy and reality sometimes become
intermingled and you are sometimes very impractical. You tend to want to spread the illumination of your knowledge to others
irrespective of their desire or need.3 (12/3, 21/3, 30/3)The number 3 Destiny suggests that the direction of growth in your lifetime will be toward a more creative and
inspirational nature. This path also leads to establishing yourself as an inspiration person spreading optimism and cheerfulness
wherever you reside or travel. The byword for the 3 Destiny is embracing the joy of living and helping others to do the same.A large part of your mission in life centers around raising the spirits of your fellow
man. This might be on a everyday small scale basis, or it might be by being on stage as an entertainer. Obviously, for most,
the first more likely, but, this Destiny does incline you along a variety of lines that may include writing, speaking, singing,
acting or teaching. For some the interest in and appreciation of the arts is there, but the creative pursuit of these interests
might not arrive.You also have the destiny to sell yourself or sell
just about any product that comes along. You may indeed be a natural salesman as the 3 traits are always welcome in sales
and public relations. You are imaginative in your presentation and a pleasure to be around.As you mature you must become an optimistic person that seems ever enthusiastic about life and living.
You are friendly, loving and social, and people like you because you are charming and such a good conversationalist. You must
develop an ability to communicate effectively in order to inspire others. It is your role in life to inspire and motivate.Friends are extremely important to the 3 Destiny, and you must develop the ability to
be a true friend. Through this talent you will achieve success. Opportunities open for you as you become increasingly social.The negative side of number 3 Destiny is superficiality. You may tend to scatter your
forces and simply be too easygoing. It is advisable for the negative 3 to avoid dwelling on trivial matters, especially gossip.4 (4, 13/4, 22/4, 31/4, 40/4)The number 4 Destiny suggests that the direction of growth in your lifetime will be toward a greater
sense of order, service, and management skills. As you develop, you must adopt an approach that is more practical, down-to-earth,
and thorough. You must be willing to work those long, hard hours to push a project through to completion.A increase in your patience with detail allows you to become expert in fields such as
building, engineering, and all forms of craftsmanship. You may accumulate abilities to write and teach, leaning toward the
more technical and detailed. In the arts, music will likely be your choice. Artistic talents may also appear in such fields
as horticulture and floral arrangement. Many skilled physicians and especially surgeons have the 4 Destiny. Indeed, you may
enjoy success in any number of professions in which planning, organization, regulation, and dogged follow through are valued.All with Destiny 4, and especially the master number 22/4, are potentially equipped
to handle large scale undertakings in the material world. Often the reference to "master builder" is used in with
regard to the 22/4, however, this trait is a potentiality in every 4, and does frequently occur.The Destiny 4 produces a very moral character and you must choose your friends from those living up
to your high standards. It will be difficult to hide your disappointment in those who fail to meet this ideal. You will be
happiest mixing with associates and friends who are, like yourself, practical, moral, and doing good works for others.The negative side of 4 often produces dominant and bossy individuals. If there is too
much 4 energies present in your makeup, you may express some of the negative attitudes of the number 4. The obligations that
you face may tend to create frustration and feelings of limitation or restriction. All 4s, and particularly the 22/4 may accentuate
unorthodox methods to the point of eccentricity. This negative manifestation of the 4 Destiny can also be very dominating
and overbearing. Avoid becoming too rigid, stubborn, dogmatic, and fixed in your opinions. You may have a tendency to develop
and hold very strong likes and dislikes, and some of these may border on the classification of prejudice. 5 (5, 14/5, 23/5, 32/5, 41/5)The number 5 Destiny suggests that the direction of growth in your lifetime will be toward becoming
a harbinger of change, freedom, and progressive thought and action. The number 5 Destiny potentially endows you with the wonderful
characteristic of multi-talents and versatility. You must develop in ways allowing you to do so many things well. The tone
of the number 5 is the constructive use of freedom, and in your drive to attain this freedom, you must be the master of adaptability
and change.As you mature, you must become good at presenting ideas
and knowing how to approach people to get what you want. Naturally, this will give you an edge in any sort of selling game
and spells easy success when it comes to working with people in most jobs. Whatever you do, you have the capacity to be clever,
analytical, and a very quick thinker.You must learn to accept changes
as they come along and avoid clinging to the outdated. Avoid rebellion, and focus on enlightenment and progression thinking
that will benefit mankind. You life is broadened by gaining an understanding and an appreciation of all kinds of people.The Destiny 5 will be welcome in many varied professional environments. The public sector
is a natural for you because you must administer to all peoples. The media, advertising, promotion, publicity, all types of
selling, and entertainment are all potential fields that may interest you. Settling on a single career may not be in the cards
for you, as you are in a continuous state of flux brought by constantly changing interests.If there is too much of the 5 energy in your makeup or if you develop negatively, the negative side
of the number may appear. Your restless and impatient attitude may keep you from staying with any project for too long. Sometimes
you can be erratic and scatter yourself and your energies. You have a hard time keeping regular office hours and maintaining
any sort of a routine. As clever as you are, you may have a tendency to make the same mistakes over and over again. Much of
your response to such errors is glib reaction rather that thoughtful application.6 (6, 15/6, 24/6, 33/6, 42/6, 51/6)The number 6 Destiny suggests that the direction of growth in your lifetime will be toward a greater
sense of responsibility, love, and balance. Development in life must make you more helpful, conscientious, and capable of
rectifying and balancing any sort of inharmonious situation. You must be a person very much inclined to give help and comfort
to those in need. You have a natural penchant for working with the old, the young, the sick, or the underprivileged.As the saying goes, charity begins at home, and the home is where you must be a special
person. The qualities of the 6 make the finest and most concerned parent, and one who is often deeply involved in domestic
activities. Openness and honesty is apparent in your approach to all relationships, particularly close family relationship.
A happy home life is the goal of Destiny 6, and if you live up to the promises of this number, you will reap this reward most
likely with some degree of luxury and grace.Although you may have
considerable creative and artistic talents, the chances are that you will devote yourself to an occupation that shows concern
for the betterment of the home and of the community at large. The destiny of the 6 is often a career in medicine, welfare
work, education, dealing in the arts, furniture, decorating, landscaping, home construction, religious endeavors, or scientific
fields.The positive side of the number 6 suggests that you are very
loving, friendly, and appreciative of others. You have a depth of understanding that produces much sympathetic, kindness,
and generosity.If there is an excess of the number 6 in your makeup,
you may exhibit some of the negative traits associated with this number. This can include stubbornness, self-righteousness,
or dominance. There may be a tendency for you to be too exacting and demanding of yourself, too. In this regard, you may at
times sacrifice yourself (or your loved ones) for the welfare of others. Many with the Destiny of the number 6 worry much
too much. In some cases, the over zealous 6 has difficulty distinguishing helping from interfering.7 (7, 16/7, 25/7, 34/7, 43/7, 52/7)The number 7 Destiny suggests that the direction of growth in your lifetime will be toward thought,
analysis, and the development of a mind skilled at searching out the truth. You must become accomplished at analyzing, judging
and discriminating, so that little escapes your observation and deep understanding. In this you will become increasingly introspective,
and value seclusiveness and solitude.You are the type of person
that can really get involved in a search for wisdom or hidden truths, and you must become an authority on whatever it is your
are focusing on. This can easily be of a technical or scientific nature, or it may be religious or occult, it matters very
little, you pursue knowledge with the same sort of vigor. You can make a very fine teacher, or because of a natural inclination
toward the spiritual, you may become deeply emerged in religious affairs or even psychic explorations. You have excellent
capabilities to study and learn really deep and difficult subjects, and to search for hidden fundamentals.You tend to operate on a rather different wavelength, and many of your friends may not
really know you very well. At full maturity you are likely to be a very peaceful and poised individual. You really like to
work alone, at your own pace and in your own way. You neither show or understand emotions very well.The positive aspects of the 7 Destiny are that you must be a true perfectionist in a very positive
sense of the word. You are very logical, and usually employ a quite rational approach to most things you do. You can be so
rational at times that you almost seem to lack emotion, and when you are faced with an emotional situation, you may have a
bit of a problem coping with it.If there is an over supply of the
number 7 in your makeup, the negative aspects of the number may be apparent. The chief negative of 7 relates to the limited
degree of trust that you may have in people. A tendency to be highly introverted can make you a bit on the self-centered side,
certainly very much self-contained. Because of this, you are not very adaptable, and you may tend to be overly critical and
intolerant.8 (8, 17/8, 26/8, 35/8, 44/8, 53/8)The number 8 Destiny suggests that the direction of growth in your lifetime will be a move up the ladder
of attainment in the material world, to achieve financial security, and status amongst your peers. The positive 8 Destiny
produces individuals that are very ambitious and goal-oriented. If you are expressing the positive qualities of 8, you are
an outstanding manager because you can plan, initiate, and complete projects; you are very dependable and determined.The 8 Destiny makes you well-equipped to develop and grow in a managerial sense.
You have outstanding potential for organizational and administrative responsibilities.You have the potential for considerable achievement in business or other powerful positions such as
government leadership roles. You have the skill and abilities to establish or operate a business with great efficiency.You can expect to receive the financial and material rewards. You have good judgment
when it comes to money and commercial matters, and you understand how to build and accumulate material wealth.Much of your success must come due to your ability to judge character. With the number
8 Destiny, you must exercise sound judgment in most of your affairs; you must be realistic and practical in your approach
to business matters.No one has any more energy that a person with
the 8 Destiny who has a plan laid and is starting to work. No one has any more self-confidence, either.If you have too much of the 8 energy in your makeup, you may express some of the negative
attitudes. A negative 8 can be very rigid and stubborn. Ambition sometimes has a way of becoming over-ambition, and you may
express an unreasonable impatience with the lack of progress. If your negative side is showing, you may be too exacting, both
of yourself and of others. Sometimes this can even becomes a case of intolerance. The Destiny 8 is on a quest for status and
power. Neither of these drives are inherently negative unless they are taken to an extreme. You must avoid the tendency to
strain after money, material matters, status, or power, to the detriment of the other important factors in your life.9 (9, 18/9, 27/9, 36/9, 45/9, 54/9)The number 9 Destiny suggests that the direction of growth in your lifetime will be in benevolent activities,
in compassion, and in worldly understanding. You are living up to and growing toward your Destiny when you follow your feelings
and sense of compassion, and allow yourself to be sensitive to the needs of others.You must be willing to help others as you were intended to be the "big brother or big sister" type. You
must work well with people, for you have the potential to inspire.Creative
ability, imagination and artistic talent (often latent) of the highest order are present in this Destiny. Career fields in
which you can excel are many and include advisory roles, medicine, legal fields, artistic fields, diplomacy, and religion.Friendships, affection, and love are extremely important. Your personal ambitions must
be maintained in a very positive perspective, never losing sight of an interest in people, and preserving a sympathetic, tolerant,
broad-minded and compassionate point of view. If you are able to achieve the potential of your natural Destiny in this life,
you are capable of much human understanding and have a lot to give to others.Undeveloped or ignored, the negative side of the 9 Destiny can be very selfish and self-centered. If you do not
actively involve yourself with work that benefits others, you may tend to express just the opposite characteristics. It is
your role to be very involved with other people and their needs, but it may be difficult for you achieve this role. Aloofness,
lack of involvement, and a lack of sensitivity mark the low road of this Destiny.© Michael McClain 1996-2010. Permission is granted for unlimited noncommercial use. All other rights

is the sum of the birth date. This number represents who you are at birth and the native traits that you will carry with you
through life. The most important number that will be discussed here is your Life Path number. The Life Path describes the
nature of this journey through life. The Life Path number is established
from the date of birth. First, add the Month, day, and year together to arrive at a total. Next, reduce this four digit number
to a single digit. Example: If a person was born on October
23, 1972 (10-23-1972*), add the month 10 to the day 23 plus the the year 1972 arriving at
a total of 2005. Then add the digits in 2005 arriving at the Life Path number 7. The “master numbers, “ 11, 22, and 33, have been incorporated within the corresponding single
digit number readings. See addition comments about master numbers. If you choose
to consider the master numbers, you can stop reducing the compound numbers when you arrive at the master numbers, 11 or 22.
Example: Bill Gates, born 10-28-1955, has a birth date that adds up to 1993. 1993 reduces to 22, so he would a
good example of the 22/4.*Be sure to add the full year, not just
the last two digits, i.e. 1969, not 69. | Read about your Life

THE LIFE PATH PERIODSThe life path has been discussed in very elementary details previously, and the life path period
is an addition to this reading that should be taken into account. If we live long enough, we will experience three life path
periods. As you progress into this page, think of the readings in terms of a modification or enhancement personalizing the
life path reading. These readings do not replace the life path reading, but merely fine tune and customize it to the individual.
Because life path periods can vary so widely, the life path we are on becomes complex and motley.The life periods are based on the birth date. The number representing the month of birth, reduced to
a single digit or master number, is the first life path period indicator. The second life path period is determined by the
day of birth reduced to a single digit or master number. The final period is based on the year of birth reduced to a single
digit or master number.The timing of the first period begins at birth
and continues until at least when in astrological progression the Moon has returned to its original place in the birth chart.
This is about 28 years. To estimate the completion of the first period, determine the year that the subject turns 28. Next,
calculate the personal year for the subject that year. If it is a 1 personal year, this year should be considered
the beginning of the second life path period. If it is a 2 personal year for the subject, the previous year should be considered
the beginning of the second life path period. If it is a 3-9 personal year, the beginning of the second life path period will
not occur until the beginning of the next nine year cycle, i.e. the next 1 personal year.This same process should be used to determine the beginning of the third life path period. For this,
it is the 1 personal year a year before, on, or after, the 56th birthday.For example, my birth is month 2, day 8, year 1939/22. Thus, I would be 28 in 1967 (1939+28-1967)
which would be a 6 personal year for me. The next, 1968 would be 7 personal year; 1969 an 8 personal year, and 1970 a 9 personal
year. The year 1971 would be my next 1 personal year making this the year that my life path period changed to 8. In 1995,
a 7 personal year for me, I turned 56. My next number 1 personal year came in 1998. This then was the beginning of my third
life path period.These links will take
you to the three periods, early years, productive years, and later years, for each of numbers: 1 Life Path PeriodEarly years: In this period you will show a stronger tendency
toward independence. Originality and creativity come early and continue through this period. You have the ability to lead
early on, but at a time when the emphasis is on learning to follow, this can be a problem. You do have a good deal of early
self-confidence and individuality which can help you achieve early successes. You are aggressive in your early career path.Productive years: In this period you will have more drive and determination
thanks to the 1 life path period. If you have other indicators that you would do well in business for yourself, this life
path period would be time to move in that direction. Your demeanor now is highly independent and leadership skills are sharpened.
The potential pitfalls here are letting ego go a little out of control and perhaps showing a lack of patience at times.Later years: New challenges may continue to appear even in your later
years. In this period you may achieve the recognition that eluded you earlier, and this may mean it will be hard to kick back
and take life easy. A 1 life path period does not lend itself to early retirement and leisure activities. Indeed, this may
become the most active time of your life.2 Life Path PeriodEarly years: This is a difficult life path period for a young
child since it suggests that emotions may run high and sensitivities to many things may be present. On the positive side,
this influence may be helpful for developing any artistic talents. The 2 period may be one in which you will be required to
be helpful, supportive, and willing to adapt in general. A tendency to have emotional reactions to problems and confrontation
may follow you into early adulthood.Productive years: The
2 lifepath period suggests that you will profit from your ability to work together with others in harmony and cooperation.
In these years your ability to use skills in diplomacy and mediation will be pronounced. The affairs of others and their success
may be the key to your own advancement. Pushing your own agenda doesn’t work as well now. The need is to control hyperactive
emotions that may appear from time to time.Later years:
The 2 lifepath period in the later years promises a good retirement with many friends and opportunities. Your influence
now will be based on your ability to bring together diverse opinions and ideas. Friends and family, and especially a close
relationship is all important to your happiness now. Having close connections is vital to your health and wellbeing in your
senior years.3 Life Path PeriodEarly years: The 3 is an excellent lifepath period for a young
person because of its inclination toward the development of expression. Any talents you may have in creative or artistic endeavors
are encouraged during this period. Emotions may be high and hyperactive tendencies can be present. Making friends and enjoying
social interactions will come easily now. Enjoy life as this is the tone of the 3 period, but be careful not to scatter your
activities to the point that you fail to make progress on anything.Productive
years: This is likely to be a very pleasant, carefree and creative time in your life. Being original and using your
talents of expression will find you furthering your career and your life in general. If there is a pitfall during this time
it is becoming overly optimistic and extravagant, and spreading your talents too thin. In all this is a period that offers
much happiness in exchange for a minimum of planning and concentration.Later years: A 3 period in later life suggests an active social life with numerous hobbies and activities.
If you are a creative person, this late life period may become your most prolific and fruitful. Indeed, this may be the time
to write that book you have thought about, a time to learn a new method of expression perhaps, or simply let your imagination
run free. Enjoy yourself, it won’t be that terribly hard now. 4 Life Path PeriodEarly years: A 4 life path period is not much fun for a young
person. It suggests that learning is difficult or the demands placed upon you to learn were harsh and burdensome. Now you
have to build a solid foundation and the tone is one of learning practicality, order, and routine. Often this period denotes
growing up with limited resources or restrictions of some sort. The demands often set the stage for later successes. You are
to be very well prepared to start your career in early adulthood.Productive
years: This period is a time to build and develop ideas into a tactile form. Now is a time that you become more of
a builder, a better organizer, and perhaps even a more stable and secure person. Your judgment and decisions take on more
conservatism and practicality, and they are based on careful and more thoughtful planning. You are apt to be more serious
about your work and perhaps devote more time to it, too. Be careful not to become a workaholic. With a 4 lifepath period you
must be constantly reminded to take the time to smell the roses.Later
years: The 4 period in the later years suggests a period that predicts work rather than retirement. Whether by choice
or by necessity, you are apt to keep your nose to the grindstone a lot longer than most of your peers. Even if you do retire,
you will want to keep working on hobbies and avocation long after others have opted for the rocking chair. If you own your
own business, it may be hard to accept that fact that things can run without your ever present attention. 5 Life Path PeriodEarly years: The 5 period early in life can be difficult because
it often lacks the stability and certainty that you may wish for. This period often features changes and emphases freedom
of thought and activity. You are likely to be constantly looking for something new, something exciting, something less boring
to stimulate your expansive mind. During this time you will be an explorer and a wanderer. Whether this is a positive or a
negative trait only time will tell. At any rate you are driven by curiosity and adventure. A restless nature often results,
and as you progress into adulthood, a number of job or career changes may occur.Productive years: In this period you are ever ready to accept change, progress, and new ideas.
Likewise you are quick, some times too quick, to dump the old, old jobs, old activities, even old relationships. Sometimes
this is good, sometime not so good. At any rate this 5 period suggests that you are more impulsive now and the test will be
to see if you can handle the increased freedom you are feeling with constructive judgment. If so, you will find this is a
period that can and should produce remarkable results.Later
years: With the 5 period occurring late in life, be prepared for a never ending series of adventures and expansive
travel so long as the resources hold out. Actually, however, many with a late life 5 period choose to continue to work because
of the sense of freedom found in their endeavors now; so long as the work is not boring or routine, there may be no reason
to quit. This influence will continue to send you off to find new challenges and try new things. You are never too old to
learn. 6 Life
Path PeriodEarly years: The 6 period produces a need to be needed, and you
probably want to help your parents or your brothers, sisters, and friends in whatever way you can. In some cases, this period
is one in which the subject is required or somehow forced to take on more than a normal amount of responsibility at an early
age. Generally, this early time in the life is marked by obvious attempts to be helpful and even nurturing to others. In early
adulthood there is a strong sense of responsibility and caring.Productive
years: Through these years you will find yourself getting ahead only after you have made the personal sacrifices
necessary to benefit others in need. Much of your life in this period will tend to be centered around your home and family.
This is not a period that lends itself to dramatic enrichment because you tend to be more selfless and less demanding of personal
rewards. Your opportunities may be as an idealist, a mediator, and perhaps even a leader in your community. Certainly the
focus of the period is associated with family and domestic concerns.Later
years: The 6 period late in life is usually a happy and content time. It denotes a tendency to accept responsibility
and lend a helping hand to those around you. You are not likely to be lonely in your later years since family and domestic
matters will probably be emphasized during this time. Indeed, you may help or even be responsible for rearing a grandchild
or two. 7 Life
Path PeriodEarly years: If there is a problem with the 7 period in early
life it is being misunderstood or considered “difficult.” In this period you may have the sense that you are different
from your peers. You repel conformity. The 7 period makes you inclined to seek and absorb learning as a primary focus. The
fact that you don’t feel very comfortable in your environment is to be expected. Your natural curiosity and inquisitive
mind will take you far during this period.Productive years:
The 7 period in the productive years is excellent for one continuing studies and analysis into mid life. The tendency
is to strive for mental growth and development and you are apt to be in the process of expanding your areas of interest now.
This period is a plus if you are engaged in academic pursuits, but otherwise progress may be slow. It is hard to force yourself
to seek opportunity now, and if you do, it will probably be to no avail. Perhaps it will come to you if you get prepared.Later years: When the 7 period occurs in later life you may find yourself
engaged in study as never before in your life. This period may find you writing more, engaged in some form of research, or
venturing into new and interesting subjects. This is not a very social period and indeed there is concern that you may become
increasingly isolated by your own choosing. 8 Life Path PeriodEarly years: An 8 period in early life stresses the practical
and the material. This is not the stuff of a good childhood experience as it may tend to elevate the importance of material
success at an inappropriate age. For the less affluent, there may be too much interest in achieving material goals. This period
may have its positive side in preparing a relatively young person for financial and material success. You may go into business
early in life with the tools to succeed.Productive years:
The 8 lifepath period in the productive years may push you to a level of success that would not have otherwise been
attained. This period denotes a time when attainment, authority, and general business acumen is brought to foreground. You
will want to set your goals high and do everything in a big way. If you have the inherent management abilities, this period
will accelerate your prestige and attainments.Later years:
With the 8 lifepath period in later life, it is suggested that your greatest achievements may be yet to come. If all you have
lacked before is good management, now may be your time to shine. In retirement you may find yourself deeply involved in clubs,
organizations and perhaps government entities. Your contribution to these can be important for your sense of accomplishment
and for your social life at this time. 9 Life Path PeriodEarly years: The 9 lifepath is difficult for a young person because so much is
expected of them in terms of feeling compassion and tolerance. The youthful years are by nature selfish years and the 9 period
stifles this sense of being self absorbed. While the upbringing under this influence can be helpful in the future, often the
period brings periods of feeling lonely, unappreciated and unsure of self. The lesson of the 9 is that life is universal rather
than personal, and thus, those with this early path may have a head start.
Productive years: With
the 9 in the productive years you may find yourself becoming more of a humanitarian. You may find it easier to express compassion,
sympathy, understanding and tolerance while in this period. This can be an emotional cycle and one of significant personal
growth. You may be called on to overcome disappointments and setbacks, but the potential for gain in this period is significant.Later years: The 9 period in the later years generally signifies a
settled and happy life at this juncture. You are inclined to positive feelings toward the world, and you will want to share
your experiences to a greater extent. You may engage in many positive works benefiting mankind or just a few needy souls in
your immediate environment. The lesson of the number is learning to give without expecting to get something back. If you have
learned this by this time, this period may well be the best part of your life. 11 Life Path PeriodEarly years: This master number is generally not attainable by
a very young person and it is usually best to consider this a 2 lifepath period early on. As a young adult, you may find yourself
drawn toward spiritual matters and idealism. Indeed, in this period you are inclined to act as an idealist, perhaps studying
religion, metaphysics, or philosophy. Modest goals during this period will serve you best, as being too aggressive will result
in problems with stress and nerves.Productive years:
In the productive years the 11 lifepath period will serve you best in any spiritual pursuit, but you may find yourself being
a little out of touch with the business world. If your life has been a material one up to now, this period may cause some
redirection. If you have inclinations to teach, to heal, to uplift, this is period when these lofty goals can come to fruit.
This period can be a hard one if you find yourself under pressure and stress. Nervous tension can be a periodic problem.Later years: In retirement or at least the later years, the 11 lifepath
period may direct you toward a more spiritual conclusion. In these years you will be able to find more time for study and
reflection, expanding your mind and broadening your thinking. This redirection may push you into a more spiritual way of thinking
and definitely away from the material side of life. For some who reject the idea of spiritualism, the “Later years 2”
reading may be more definitive.22 Life Path PeriodEarly years: There is no early 22 lifepath period since there
is no 22 month.Productive years: The 22 period
during the productive years can send you sailing up the ladder. If you are properly prepared and adequately equipped, this
period may find you being placed in charge of big projects, accomplishing huge achievements, and functioning or striving for
a spot at the top of the heap. The number 22 is the master builder. Having the period doesn’t necessarily make you a
master builder, but it does produce the flow of events that will certainly speed you on the road to success. This is a time
to follow your hunches as you assume greater responsibility and capitalize on opportunities. Keep nerves and emotions under
control as these can be a problem during this period.Later
years: Many with the 22 period in later life never do retire or if they do, that retirement is never one that is
complete leisure. Nervous energy may keep you on the go. This period may well be your most accomplished as events of the time
may indeed set you up for big projects and major achievements. Keep occupied in these years and don’t shy away from
the main stage of life.© Michael McClain 1996-2010. Permission

a surefire way increase your odds for a good relationship. Looking to numerology is also a good way to address problems in
an existing relationship, and gain new understanding.That said,
I want to make it clear that while some numbers seem to blend together easily and with little friction, and other numbers
seem to be rubbing against the grain for you, there are no absolutes or ideals that you should be seeking. You can use the
guide below to quickly compare two individual Lifepath numbers and the Destiny or Expression numbers, or any of the other
numbers in the profile for that matter. While some may wish to carry this further and compare other factors in the respective
profiles, and many numerologists do, my sense is that these two important numbers should be the focus of your investigation.The most important number in your comparison is the Lifepath number. If you haven’t
learned how to calculate and understand the meaning of the Lifepath, click here to go to the page on this topic. It is important to build a relationship with
a partner having a Lifepath compatible with your own because for both individuals, the Lifepath number shows the natural inclinations
at birth and the set of traits that will always be present in you and in your prospective partner. You must act on these traits
to attain a sense of self-worth and happiness. For example, the Lifepath 3 is one that emphasizes expression, sociability,
and creativity as the natural mode of activity for its native. When these traits are highly valued by the Lifepath of the
partner, such traits are readily supported and living together as a couple is facilitated. When these numbers are not in harmony,
some degree of compromise will be necessary for both individuals to maintain a comfort zone and sense of general happiness.Next in importance is the Expression or Destiny number which is the number calculated from
your full birth name. If you are not familiar which converting your name to a single digit number, please revisit the page on this topic. The Expression number defines the direction in life and
what you must strive to attain. | | Numbers that produce easy compatibility or seem to be a natural fit. | Numbers that are usually compatible and find it easy to get along. | Numbers that can go either way - or may be neutral | Numbers that are often a bit of a challenge and require much compromise. | | 1 | 1, 5, 7 | 3, 9 | 8 | 2, 4, 6 | | 2* | 2, 4, 8 | 3, 6 | 9 | 1, 5, 7 | | 3 | 3, 6, 9 | 1, 2, 5 | | 4, 7, 8 | | 4* | 2, 4, 8 | 6, 7 | | 1, 3, 5, 9 | | 5 | 1, 5, 7 | 3, 9 | 8 | 2, 4, 6 | | 6 | 3, 6, 9 | 2, 4, 8 | | 1, 5, 7 | | 7 | 1, 5, 7 | 4 | 9 | 2, 3, 6, 8 | | 8 | 2, 4, 8 | 6 | 1, 5 | 3, 7, 9 | | 9 | 3, 6, 9 | 1, 5 | 2, 7 | 4, 8 |
*note: For the purposes of evaluating relationships, master numbers 11 and 22 are reduced to 2 and 4 respectively. Your comparison chart might look
like this: | A comparison of: | 1stindividual | 2ndindividual | Quality - Very
compatible, compatible, neutral, or challenged | | Lifepath - Natural characteristics, talents, and traits based on your date of birth. | | | | | Destiny - Direction
in life; what you must achieve or become based on your full birth name. | | | |
While this gives an instance glance at the degree of compatibility or challenge in the
relationship, it is probably wise to take this a step further and attempt to gain some insight into the actual blending, or
failing to blend, of the numbers. The following notes discuss the possibilities of these encounters:1 and 1: Two people with a strong desire to lead, and, two people who want very much
to be independent. Two 1s in a relationship understand and accept each other perhaps better than any other number can understand
the 1. This is a relationship not without pitfalls as the match can get dicey when they start to compete. But for the most
part, it is a good one filled with excitement and activity.1
and 2: Two very different people who do well if they remember their roles. The 1 is best equipped to be the breadwinner,
and the 2 will be the one to feather the nest and keep the warmth of romance alive and well. The 1 must avoid being distracted
and never forget how important attention is for the 2 partner.1
and 3: This is a very lively couple that seem to shamelessly enjoy life and each other. The 3 is good at acknowledging
the 1 accomplishments and stroking the ego. The 3 provides the ideas and the 1 provides the push, so this couple can cover
a lot of ground. Yet they have to be careful about what they say since neither handles criticism very well.1 and 4: 4’s desire for control is a tough sell on the 1. The
1’s need to make things happen now, frustrates the meticulous 4. Opposites in many ways, these two should not expect
easy compromise. If they ever can accept one another for who they are, their respective strengths will make a solid relationship.1 and 5: This is a very compatible combination as both of these numbers
are ones that like to have a lot of freedom in a relationship. The drive for independence is paramount for each. They may
be so busy with their own “thing” that time together is limited, very special, and often exciting. As you might
expect, the most serious threat is when either tries to impose his or her will on the other.1 and 6: This is a power struggle waiting to happen. The 6 wants and needs to a caretaker.
The 1 has an absolute need to be independent and unrestrained. This can be a successful pairing only if they can work past
this roadblock, and give each other the support they both need.1
and 7: These are very different energies but ones that somehow blend nicely. The 7 provides wise insights while the
1 becomes a needed motivator. The key is to understand the tendencies; the 1 can get too busy with the outer world to always
be there for the 7, and the 7 can be too into their own world to be there for the 1. Neither should take this absence personally.1 and 8: From a business standpoint, this is a good match. But from
the love angle, it is questionable at best. Both are so assertive and demanding, that expectations can far exceed reality.
Negative feedback from either will be deadly in this pairing. Success depends on a open and mutual willingness to compromise
and limit demands.1 and 9: The 9 brings a selflessness
to the relationship which allows the 1 to operate in an environment that is understanding and smooth flowing. The 1 will have
to learn to share the partner who is inclined to extend a giving nature outside the home. If there is trouble in this partnership
it will generally come from the 9s difficulty tolerating the 1’s assertive and individualistic behavior.2 and 2: A great match of two souls both needing to give and receive
love. Experts at mediation, they have little difficulty finding common ground on just about any issue that arises. The only
word of caution for this pairing is that they must each remember how thin their own skin is so as to not cause verbal injury
to the other. Generally this is not a problem because of their polite manner and mutual respect.2 and 3: These are potentially very good partners because of the good humor and good
chemistry. The 3 is always “on stage” and full of life and social energy, while the 2 is happy as a lark standing
back and enjoying the show. The 2 balances the needs of the 3 by providing a soothing and calming influence.2 and 4: This is a steady pairing resulting in comfort personified.
When it comes to home and family, the 4 is the ultimate builder and provider. Security is 4’s forte. Nothing is more
appealing to the 2 than home, hearth, and family. The only difficulty likely here is one of perception. The 2 needs love to
be shown and always physically apparent, and the 4 is sometimes not so demonstrative.2 and 5: The 2 needs family and an ever present sense of being loved, and the 5 need total freedom
to pursue whatever avenues appear on the horizon. This is one where the chemistry has to be very strong in order for the two
very different souls to forge some significant compromises. Obviously, these two can provide a lot that may otherwise be missing,
but it won’t be an easy road.2 and 6: This
is another good love match. The 6 ranks first in family while the 2 tops the chart in love and caring. Still the pair need
to watch their Ps and Qs as the 6 has a surprising need for approbation, and 2’s thin skin can suffer with the direct
and demanding approach that sometimes characterizes the 6. Considerations of feelings is a must.2 and 7: This is a couple that has some strong and dissimilar needs. The 2’s
need for demonstrative love and 7’s need for a good deal of space and solitude make this a pairing that will work only
if both can stay tuned in to the other’s needs and be willing to cater to them at least to some degree. Generally the
2 will have to find something to occupy much of the time that would otherwise be devoted to the mate.2 and 8: A pairing that usually works very well because it is likely that each has
a clear vision of their role. The 8 is about the outer world of business and attainment, taking care of the financial needs
of the family. The 2 takes care of the family and is there to pamper the ego of their partner. A pitfall in this relationship
can occur if the 8 fails to sufficiently value the labors of the 2. Generally, this is the classic traditional family model,
or in the case of the male 2, female 8, the classic male/female role reversal.2 and 9: These two can have a wonderful relationship or it can be not so wonderful. The 2 needs
constant attention, and certainly the 9 is a caring individual. But the care they naturally possess is spread to all humanity
and often it is not focused enough at home. The 9 is a natural leader and the 2 is a natural follower, so there is always
hope. The 9 needs to remember that the 2 hates to be alone, and the 2 needs to be forewarned that the 9’s love will
only stretch so far.3 and 3: Wild and interesting
describes this pairing of two with so much creative and social potential. No one has more fun that a pair of 3s who understand
and support one another. The question may become who is going to take care of the mundane. The pitfall of this relationship
comes when neither partner can hold on to reins of practical everyday details.3 and 4: When the spontaneous 3 pairs with the micro-manager 4, something has to give, and often
it won’t. The 3 will take each day as it comes while the 4 has to have a definite plan far into the future. If the two
can ever figure out how to meet in the middle, they will do a good job of balancing each other’s shortcomings. The 3
will show the 4 how to have fun while the 4 can give the 3 a needed sense of security.3 and 5: This is one of the most social combination you will find. The two will generally find
each other very interesting and their ability to entertain will be never ending. Social opportunities, travel, and numerous
activities promise this relationship won’t get boring. Both are creative by nature, yet neither excels at managing the
budget, so everyday affairs can cause problems sometimes.3
and 6: This is a natural combination that works well in most cases. The 3 is full of enthusiasm and ideas, and the
6 provides the stability, support, and encouragement that often makes this combination an idea team in many ways. The chemistry
here is very strong and durable. The challenge of this combination can come in the form of 6 jealous feelings toward the oft
flirtatious 3. Usually it will be the 6 who will have to learn to deal with an inborn trait.3 and 7: These two are about as different as people get. The 3 wants to be constantly
on the go with a swirl of activity, travel, and social contact that the 7 will find intolerable. The 7 needs solitude and
can only take so much human contact before retreating to their preferred peace and quiet. Confrontation in this pairing never
works well, and it will be up to both to understand the long-term need for compromise. The key to success here is open dialog
regarding wants, needs, and goals.3 and 8: This
is a combination that requires extra effort mostly because of the departure of needs. The 8 needs goals and authority to feel
happy, and efforts focused here leave the 3 without needed attention and stimulation. The secret to success in this combination,
if there is one, is frequent getaways; periods when the 3 gets the 8 away from business and relaxed enough to have some fun.
There isn’t much frivolity in the 8, and this can sometimes be a tough sale.3 and 9: This is a wonderful combination of two people who are apt to keep each other endlessly
engaged in a variety of creative ways. Both like to be on stage and both are interested in people. They care about people
and the 9 can be generous to a fault. The 9 is the teacher and the 3 is the ever eager student. Sharing experience is a never
ending joy of this pairing. The problem the couple faces is settling down, feathering a nest, and keeping the bills paid.
Even after they are settled and set, romantic adventures will always be important.4 and 4: The keywords for this combination are solid and secure. For individuals who need to know
that the bills are paid and future is totally secure, who better to fill this need than another 4. These two will share goals
that they work for and nearly always achieve. Success is measured by a sense that growth is continual and this includes love
and romance. The down side of this pairing, if there is one, is the sense that nothing is ever completely okay. It’s
hard to relax , be spontaneous, and enjoy the moment and each other. Nonetheless, there are few relationships destined to
be more stable than this one.4 and 5: Challenge.
The 4 and the 5 have different temperaments and different ways of communicating. The 4 is very direct to the point, while
the 5 will be more diplomatic and indirect. 4s don’t like change, and 5s have to have it. To find success, this couple
will need to respect the difference and pay attention to what is said and what is inferred.4 and 6: A comfortable match of traditional types, this pairing has promise from the
very beginning. Chances are the 6 will want to take the lead in this relationship, and a secure home and family are all that
is needed to produce a satisfying long-term situation. The challenge of this relationship is compromise. Neither is very good
at this.4 and 7: This is a relationship that has
a serious tone about it and may be driven by a mutual need for security. It is loyal and devoted, even it it may lack the
fire and passion of some combinations. The 4 is a natural provider of rock solid security and home values. The 7 provides
a quest for continued mental development and adventure. The combination makes life both secure and yet more interesting for
both.4 and 8: This is a comfortable pairing because
both parties understand hard work and have a good head for business and getting ahead in the world. The 4 is the cautious
planner, while the 8 has a more grandiose approach to endeavors. The only problem probably can be one of finding the time
to spend together in a quest for romance. Yet this is a couple that knows how to build for the future and develop a very secure
relationship.4 and 9: These two are so very different
that successful pairings are rare. The 9 is far more social and fosters deep humanitarian instincts. The 4 is focused on the
basics of building a secure and solid immediate world. To succeed in a relationship requires both to be aware of how different
their approaches are, and somehow muster a willingness to accept. The 4 will certainly appreciate the 9’s knowledge
and intelligence, and the 9 must likewise value the 4’s ruthless consistency.5 and 5: A pair of 5s is a very compatible couple who prize their freedom to be different and
adventuresome. Few others will be as open to the constant flow of new ideas and changes so common in the 5. In this relationship,
partners easily anticipate what the other is thinking and where they are going. And they also have a sense for staying out
of the way and accepting the freewheeling lifestyle. 5s choosing to support one another can do just about anything. The difficulty
with this pairing is focus, and there may be a problem handling the mundane day-to-day affairs.5 and 6: This is a combination requiring great compromise since the 5 thrives on freedom
and space, and the 6 is noted for exerting control and nurturing supervision. The 6 wants complete commitment, and the 5 is
looking for adventure and new horizons. In a relationship, they would probably be good for each other if they could find a
way to meet somewhere near the middle. They must avoid any tendency to become entrenched in positions that just won’t
work for the other.5 and 7: This is a relationship
which is more or less free of rules and procedures. In some ways, these two are much alike and the relationship is generally
very compatible. The 7 values the time to be alone and enjoy the world of study and reflection in their private space. At
the same time, the 5 has plenty going on and appreciates not having demands for attention being the paramount feature of the
relationship. Yet these two can get together and find a never ending stream of mutual interests to discuss and explore.5 and 8: This is a relationship between two individuals who don’t
always follow the rules, and they might find themselves locking horns on the rules of a relationship. The 8 is used to being
the boss and dominating most situations. The 5 seeks freedom from any restraints. The 8 is focused on success, particularly
in a financial sense, and the 5 doesn’t even want to think about money. It will take careful planning and compromise
to make this relationship work.5 and 9: This is
a relationship between two who may find it hard to work the relationship into their busy schedules. Both of these numbers
represent people who are apt to be in a constant state of transition and change. In this regard they have much in common and
will generally find each other very interesting, for the moment or for the long haul. The compassion of the 9 and progressive
thinking of the 5 seems to blend well. Establishing a commitment to security is a must.6 and 6: This is a combination charged with romance, but in essence it is rather practical
by nature. Home and family is second nature here, and these will be the top priorities for sure. This is a very compatible
pairing. The 6 knows what’s best for their partner, so they do a good job of taking care of each other, and a family
is a must. Yet the 6 by its nature wants the whole family under his/her thumb, so the challenge may be in agreeing who is
going to be charge. The circumstances of the relationship will usually be able to sort this out.6 and 7: These are two very different people with very different ideas about a relationship.
The 6 is openly interested in a permanent situation complete with a stable home and family. With the secretive 7, it is hard
to tell what the goal might be, and only time will tell. Despite the sexual attraction that may be present, this is a very
challenged combination. The 6 is too controlling, and the 7 just isn’t to be closely managed. The compromises required
in this relationship really bend and manipulate the natural traits of both numbers.6 and 8: This is a very positive and compatible relationship of two who are usually open and positive
in most that they do. This is a couple with big ideas, and their ideas are usually brought to reality in grand fashion. The
home will provide plenty of space for family, work, and frequent entertaining of their many friends. A down side to the relationship
can occur if the possessive 6 has to compete too much with the business interests of the 8. Likewise, the 8 will be frustrated
when the demands at home cramp the executive lifestyle and obligations.6 and 9: This is generally a very compatible relationship prospect as the 9 is one of the few numbers
to gain 6’s utmost respect. In a family situation, the 6 is unsurpassed as a manager, and the 9 is never reticent in
heaping praise in recognition. This often creates a mutual admiration environment that provides a happy home for both partners.
The 6 helps the 9 stay focused on details and common sense issues, while the 9 broadens the 6’s outlook and sense of
the world at large. The expansiveness of this pairing may suggest the need to keep a close eye on the budget.7 and 7: This is one situation in which no one understands the eccentricities
of a 7 nearly as well as another 7. Thus, this is a very compatible pairing. With the right attitude, this couple will find
the interest to freely explore the world together, or spend their days in happy solitude together. Chances are you are on
the same psychic wavelength, so you will surely catch the signals as they flash by. The downside of this pairing is the tendency
to not communicate, so an effort may have to be made to keep the lines open and operating.7 and 8: This is a combination that seems to work well physically, but one which is
plagued with problems on the emotional level. The 8 has a tendency to dominate and control, and the 7 is a very private person
prone to resist attempts to exert authority. The power of both numbers can result in frequent verbal battles. Yet there is
a stability factor in the pairing that makes long-term success a possibility if accommodations can be reached.7 and 9: This couple is anything but neutral in their affiliation.
They are listed neutral because the relationship can go either way depending largely on spiritual beliefs. Both have strong
spiritual inclinations and deeply held positions. However, these views of the spiritual and God often divide along rigidly
held lines. In such cases, compromise is usually not an option. When the spiritual positions are in harmony, this can be a
very compatible combination.8 and 8: This pairing
might be known as the “Dynamic Duo” as this is a combination that is full of passion and romance. Indeed, this
pairing is a strong and enduring match- up. Yet both partners will be easily distracted by the events in their life as goals
and professional demands often supersede romantic possibilities. Solid as the relationship probably is, the couple may have
a hard time communicating the depth of feeling in either word or deed. Guard against competing with one another, and getting
caught up in schedules and the demands of work. Make time for each other and always focus on being equal partners.8 and 9: This is a challenging combination in which two highly motivated
individuals - motivated in very different ways - find it hard to accept the ways of the other. In general the goals of the
9 are lofty and may have a humanitarian bend, while the 8 seeks the reward that comes with development of leadership and material
success. To have much of a chance, the 8 will have to appreciate the lessons that can be learned from their generous partner.
When they are able to work as a team, this is a powerful and often inspirational pair. Too often, however, the combination
fails to click.9 and 9: This relationship has much
promise as it usually engages two charismatic types possessing much intellectual stimulation. The nature of the 9 is selfless,
so this combination usually faces few challenges; each wanting to please the other and always be there for each other. A relationship
offering the opportunity to grow, learn, and serve, this is often an inspiring combination.© Michael McClain 2006-2010. Permission is granted for unlimited noncommercial use.

at birth and the set of traits that will always be present in you and in your prospective partner. You must act on these traits
to attain a sense of self-worth and happiness. For example, the Lifepath 3 is one that emphasizes expression, sociability,
and creativity as the natural mode of activity for its native. When these traits are highly valued by the Lifepath of the
partner, such traits are readily supported and living together as a couple is facilitated. When these numbers are not in harmony,
some degree of compromise will be necessary for both individuals to maintain a comfort zone and sense of general happiness.Next in importance is the Expression or Destiny number which is the number calculated from
your full birth name. If you are not familiar which converting your name to a single digit number, please revisit the page on this topic. The Expression number defines the direction in life and
what you must strive to attain. | | Numbers that produce easy compatibility or seem to be a natural fit. | Numbers that are usually compatible and find it easy to get along. | Numbers that can go either way - or may be neutral | Numbers that are often a bit of a challenge and require much compromise. | | 1 | 1, 5, 7 | 3, 9 | 8 | 2, 4, 6 | | 2* | 2, 4, 8 | 3, 6 | 9 | 1, 5, 7 | | 3 | 3, 6, 9 | 1, 2, 5 | | 4, 7, 8 | | 4* | 2, 4, 8 | 6, 7 | | 1, 3, 5, 9 | | 5 | 1, 5, 7 | 3, 9 | 8 | 2, 4, 6 | | 6 | 3, 6, 9 | 2, 4, 8 | | 1, 5, 7 | | 7 | 1, 5, 7 | 4 | 9 | 2, 3, 6, 8 | | 8 | 2, 4, 8 | 6 | 1, 5 | 3, 7, 9 | | 9 | 3, 6, 9 | 1, 5 | 2, 7 | 4, 8 |

While this gives an instance glance at the degree of compatibility or challenge in the
relationship, it is probably wise to take this a step further and attempt to gain some insight into the actual blending, or
failing to blend, of the numbers. The following notes discuss the possibilities of these encounters:1 and 1: Two people with a strong desire to lead, and, two people
who want very much to be independent. Two 1s in a relationship understand and accept each other perhaps better than any other
number can understand the 1. This is a relationship not without pitfalls as the match can get dicey when they start to compete.
But for the most part, it is a good one filled with excitement and activity.1 and 2: Two very different people who do well if they remember
their roles. The 1 is best equipped to be the breadwinner, and the 2 will be the one to feather the nest and keep the warmth
of romance alive and well. The 1 must avoid being distracted and never forget how important attention is for the 2 partner.1 and 3: This is a very lively couple that seem to shamelessly
enjoy life and each other. The 3 is good at acknowledging the 1 accomplishments and stroking the ego. The 3 provides the ideas
and the 1 provides the push, so this couple can cover a lot of ground. Yet they have to be careful about what they say since
neither handles criticism very well.1 and 4: 4’s desire for control is a tough sell on the
1. The 1’s need to make things happen now, frustrates the meticulous 4. Opposites in many ways, these two should not
expect easy compromise. If they ever can accept one another for who they are, their respective strengths will make a solid
relationship.1 and 5: This is a very compatible combination as both of these
numbers are ones that like to have a lot of freedom in a relationship. The drive for independence is paramount for each. They
may be so busy with their own “thing” that time together is limited, very special, and often exciting. As you
might expect, the most serious threat is when either tries to impose his or her will on the other.1 and 6: This is a power struggle waiting to happen. The 6 wants
and needs to a caretaker. The 1 has an absolute need to be independent and unrestrained. This can be a successful pairing
only if they can work past this roadblock, and give each other the support they both need.1 and 7: These are very different energies but ones that somehow
blend nicely. The 7 provides wise insights while the 1 becomes a needed motivator. The key is to understand the tendencies;
the 1 can get too busy with the outer world to always be there for the 7, and the 7 can be too into their own world to be
there for the 1. Neither should take this absence personally.1 and 8: From a business standpoint, this is a good match. But
from the love angle, it is questionable at best. Both are so assertive and demanding, that expectations can far exceed reality.
Negative feedback from either will be deadly in this pairing. Success depends on a open and mutual willingness to compromise
and limit demands.1 and 9: The 9 brings a selflessness to the relationship which
allows the 1 to operate in an environment that is understanding and smooth flowing. The 1 will have to learn to share the
partner who is inclined to extend a giving nature outside the home. If there is trouble in this partnership it will generally
come from the 9s difficulty tolerating the 1’s assertive and individualistic behavior.2 and 2: A great match of two souls both needing to give and
receive love. Experts at mediation, they have little difficulty finding common ground on just about any issue that arises.
The only word of caution for this pairing is that they must each remember how thin their own skin is so as to not cause verbal
injury to the other. Generally this is not a problem because of their polite manner and mutual respect.2 and 3: These are potentially very good partners because of
the good humor and good chemistry. The 3 is always “on stage” and full of life and social energy, while the 2
is happy as a lark standing back and enjoying the show. The 2 balances the needs of the 3 by providing a soothing and calming
influence.2 and 4: This is a steady pairing resulting in comfort personified.
When it comes to home and family, the 4 is the ultimate builder and provider. Security is 4’s forte. Nothing is more
appealing to the 2 than home, hearth, and family. The only difficulty likely here is one of perception. The 2 needs love to
be shown and always physically apparent, and the 4 is sometimes not so demonstrative.2 and 5: The 2 needs family and an ever present sense of being
loved, and the 5 need total freedom to pursue whatever avenues appear on the horizon. This is one where the chemistry has
to be very strong in order for the two very different souls to forge some significant compromises. Obviously, these two can
provide a lot that may otherwise be missing, but it won’t be an easy road.2 and 6: This is another good love match. The 6 ranks first in
family while the 2 tops the chart in love and caring. Still the pair need to watch their Ps and Qs as the 6 has a surprising
need for approbation, and 2’s thin skin can suffer with the direct and demanding approach that sometimes characterizes
the 6. Considerations of feelings is a must.2 and 7: This is a couple that has some strong and dissimilar
needs. The 2’s need for demonstrative love and 7’s need for a good deal of space and solitude make this a pairing
that will work only if both can stay tuned in to the other’s needs and be willing to cater to them at least to some
degree. Generally the 2 will have to find something to occupy much of the time that would otherwise be devoted to the mate.2 and 8: A pairing that usually works very well because it is
likely that each has a clear vision of their role. The 8 is about the outer world of business and attainment, taking care
of the financial needs of the family. The 2 takes care of the family and is there to pamper the ego of their partner. A pitfall
in this relationship can occur if the 8 fails to sufficiently value the labors of the 2. Generally, this is the classic traditional
family model, or in the case of the male 2, female 8, the classic male/female role reversal.2 and 9: These two can have a wonderful relationship or it can
be not so wonderful. The 2 needs constant attention, and certainly the 9 is a caring individual. But the care they naturally
possess is spread to all humanity and often it is not focused enough at home. The 9 is a natural leader and the 2 is a natural
follower, so there is always hope. The 9 needs to remember that the 2 hates to be alone, and the 2 needs to be forewarned
that the 9’s love will only stretch so far.3 and 3: Wild and interesting describes this pairing of two with
so much creative and social potential. No one has more fun that a pair of 3s who understand and support one another. The question
may become who is going to take care of the mundane. The pitfall of this relationship comes when neither partner can hold
on to reins of practical everyday details.3 and 4: When the spontaneous 3 pairs with the micro-manager
4, something has to give, and often it won’t. The 3 will take each day as it comes while the 4 has to have a definite
plan far into the future. If the two can ever figure out how to meet in the middle, they will do a good job of balancing each
other’s shortcomings. The 3 will show the 4 how to have fun while the 4 can give the 3 a needed sense of security.3 and 5: This is one of the most social combination you will
find. The two will generally find each other very interesting and their ability to entertain will be never ending. Social
opportunities, travel, and numerous activities promise this relationship won’t get boring. Both are creative by nature,
yet neither excels at managing the budget, so everyday affairs can cause problems sometimes.3 and 6: This is a natural combination that works well in most
cases. The 3 is full of enthusiasm and ideas, and the 6 provides the stability, support, and encouragement that often makes
this combination an idea team in many ways. The chemistry here is very strong and durable. The challenge of this combination
can come in the form of 6 jealous feelings toward the oft flirtatious 3. Usually it will be the 6 who will have to learn to
deal with an inborn trait.3 and 7: These two are about as different as people get. The
3 wants to be constantly on the go with a swirl of activity, travel, and social contact that the 7 will find intolerable.
The 7 needs solitude and can only take so much human contact before retreating to their preferred peace and quiet. Confrontation
in this pairing never works well, and it will be up to both to understand the long-term need for compromise. The key to success
here is open dialog regarding wants, needs, and goals.3 and 8: This is a combination that requires extra effort mostly
because of the departure of needs. The 8 needs goals and authority to feel happy, and efforts focused here leave the 3 without
needed attention and stimulation. The secret to success in this combination, if there is one, is frequent getaways; periods
when the 3 gets the 8 away from business and relaxed enough to have some fun. There isn’t much frivolity in the 8, and
this can sometimes be a tough sale.3 and 9: This is a wonderful combination of two people who are
apt to keep each other endlessly engaged in a variety of creative ways. Both like to be on stage and both are interested in
people. They care about people and the 9 can be generous to a fault. The 9 is the teacher and the 3 is the ever eager student.
Sharing experience is a never ending joy of this pairing. The problem the couple faces is settling down, feathering a nest,
and keeping the bills paid. Even after they are settled and set, romantic adventures will always be important.4 and 4: The keywords for this combination are solid and secure.
For individuals who need to know that the bills are paid and future is totally secure, who better to fill this need than another
4. These two will share goals that they work for and nearly always achieve. Success is measured by a sense that growth is
continual and this includes love and romance. The down side of this pairing, if there is one, is the sense that nothing is
ever completely okay. It’s hard to relax , be spontaneous, and enjoy the moment and each other. Nonetheless, there are
few relationships destined to be more stable than this one.4 and 5: Challenge. The 4 and the 5 have different temperaments
and different ways of communicating. The 4 is very direct to the point, while the 5 will be more diplomatic and indirect.
4s don’t like change, and 5s have to have it. To find success, this couple will need to respect the difference and pay
attention to what is said and what is inferred.4 and 6: A comfortable match of traditional types, this pairing
has promise from the very beginning. Chances are the 6 will want to take the lead in this relationship, and a secure home
and family are all that is needed to produce a satisfying long-term situation. The challenge of this relationship is compromise.
Neither is very good at this.4 and 7: This is a relationship that has a serious tone about
it and may be driven by a mutual need for security. It is loyal and devoted, even it it may lack the fire and passion of some
combinations. The 4 is a natural provider of rock solid security and home values. The 7 provides a quest for continued mental
development and adventure. The combination makes life both secure and yet more interesting for both.4 and 8: This is a comfortable pairing because both parties understand
hard work and have a good head for business and getting ahead in the world. The 4 is the cautious planner, while the 8 has
a more grandiose approach to endeavors. The only problem probably can be one of finding the time to spend together in a quest
for romance. Yet this is a couple that knows how to build for the future and develop a very secure relationship.4 and 9: These two are so very different that successful pairings
are rare. The 9 is far more social and fosters deep humanitarian instincts. The 4 is focused on the basics of building a secure
and solid immediate world. To succeed in a relationship requires both to be aware of how different their approaches are, and
somehow muster a willingness to accept. The 4 will certainly appreciate the 9’s knowledge and intelligence, and the
9 must likewise value the 4’s ruthless consistency.5 and 5: A pair of 5s is a very compatible couple who prize their
freedom to be different and adventuresome. Few others will be as open to the constant flow of new ideas and changes so common
in the 5. In this relationship, partners easily anticipate what the other is thinking and where they are going. And they also
have a sense for staying out of the way and accepting the freewheeling lifestyle. 5s choosing to support one another can do
just about anything. The difficulty with this pairing is focus, and there may be a problem handling the mundane day-to-day
affairs.5 and 6: This is a combination requiring great compromise since
the 5 thrives on freedom and space, and the 6 is noted for exerting control and nurturing supervision. The 6 wants complete
commitment, and the 5 is looking for adventure and new horizons. In a relationship, they would probably be good for each other
if they could find a way to meet somewhere near the middle. They must avoid any tendency to become entrenched in positions
that just won’t work for the other.5 and 7: This is a relationship which is more or less free of
rules and procedures. In some ways, these two are much alike and the relationship is generally very compatible. The 7 values
the time to be alone and enjoy the world of study and reflection in their private space. At the same time, the 5 has plenty
going on and appreciates not having demands for attention being the paramount feature of the relationship. Yet these two can
get together and find a never ending stream of mutual interests to discuss and explore.5 and 8: This is a relationship between two individuals who don’t
always follow the rules, and they might find themselves locking horns on the rules of a relationship. The 8 is used to being
the boss and dominating most situations. The 5 seeks freedom from any restraints. The 8 is focused on success, particularly
in a financial sense, and the 5 doesn’t even want to think about money. It will take careful planning and compromise
to make this relationship work.5 and 9: This is a relationship between two who may find it hard
to work the relationship into their busy schedules. Both of these numbers represent people who are apt to be in a constant
state of transition and change. In this regard they have much in common and will generally find each other very interesting,
for the moment or for the long haul. The compassion of the 9 and progressive thinking of the 5 seems to blend well. Establishing
a commitment to security is a must.6 and 6: This is a combination charged with romance, but in essence
it is rather practical by nature. Home and family is second nature here, and these will be the top priorities for sure. This
is a very compatible pairing. The 6 knows what’s best for their partner, so they do a good job of taking care of each
other, and a family is a must. Yet the 6 by its nature wants the whole family under his/her thumb, so the challenge may be
in agreeing who is going to be charge. The circumstances of the relationship will usually be able to sort this out.6 and 7: These are two very different people with very different
ideas about a relationship. The 6 is openly interested in a permanent situation complete with a stable home and family. With
the secretive 7, it is hard to tell what the goal might be, and only time will tell. Despite the sexual attraction that may
be present, this is a very challenged combination. The 6 is too controlling, and the 7 just isn’t to be closely managed.
The compromises required in this relationship really bend and manipulate the natural traits of both numbers.6 and 8: This is a very positive and compatible relationship
of two who are usually open and positive in most that they do. This is a couple with big ideas, and their ideas are usually
brought to reality in grand fashion. The home will provide plenty of space for family, work, and frequent entertaining of
their many friends. A down side to the relationship can occur if the possessive 6 has to compete too much with the business
interests of the 8. Likewise, the 8 will be frustrated when the demands at home cramp the executive lifestyle and obligations.6 and 9: This is generally a very compatible relationship prospect
as the 9 is one of the few numbers to gain 6’s utmost respect. In a family situation, the 6 is unsurpassed as a manager,
and the 9 is never reticent in heaping praise in recognition. This often creates a mutual admiration environment that provides
a happy home for both partners. The 6 helps the 9 stay focused on details and common sense issues, while the 9 broadens the
6’s outlook and sense of the world at large. The expansiveness of this pairing may suggest the need to keep a close
eye on the budget.7 and 7: This is one situation in which no one understands the
eccentricities of a 7 nearly as well as another 7. Thus, this is a very compatible pairing. With the right attitude, this
couple will find the interest to freely explore the world together, or spend their days in happy solitude together. Chances
are you are on the same psychic wavelength, so you will surely catch the signals as they flash by. The downside of this pairing
is the tendency to not communicate, so an effort may have to be made to keep the lines open and operating.7 and 8: This is a combination that seems to work well physically,
but one which is plagued with problems on the emotional level. The 8 has a tendency to dominate and control, and the 7 is
a very private person prone to resist attempts to exert authority. The power of both numbers can result in frequent verbal
battles. Yet there is a stability factor in the pairing that makes long-term success a possibility if accommodations can be
reached.7 and 9: This couple is anything but neutral in their affiliation.
They are listed neutral because the relationship can go either way depending largely on spiritual beliefs. Both have strong
spiritual inclinations and deeply held positions. However, these views of the spiritual and God often divide along rigidly
held lines. In such cases, compromise is usually not an option. When the spiritual positions are in harmony, this can be a
very compatible combination.8 and 8: This pairing might be known as the “Dynamic Duo”
as this is a combination that is full of passion and romance. Indeed, this pairing is a strong and enduring match- up. Yet
both partners will be easily distracted by the events in their life as goals and professional demands often supersede romantic
possibilities. Solid as the relationship probably is, the couple may have a hard time communicating the depth of feeling in
either word or deed. Guard against competing with one another, and getting caught up in schedules and the demands of work.
Make time for each other and always focus on being equal partners.8 and 9: This is a challenging combination in which two highly
motivated individuals - motivated in very different ways - find it hard to accept the ways of the other. In general the goals
of the 9 are lofty and may have a humanitarian bend, while the 8 seeks the reward that comes with development of leadership
and material success. To have much of a chance, the 8 will have to appreciate the lessons that can be learned from their generous
partner. When they are able to work as a team, this is a powerful and often inspirational pair. Too often, however, the combination
fails to click.9 and 9: This relationship has much promise as it usually engages
two charismatic types possessing much intellectual stimulation. The nature of the 9 is selfless, so this combination usually
faces few challenges; each wanting to please the other and always be there for each other. A relationship offering the opportunity
to grow, learn, and serve, this is often an inspiring combination.©
