NUMEROLOGY
Numerology is the study of numbers as they pertain to a person's full name given at birth, name(s) currently used and his/her date of birth. Using numerology a numerologist can determine a person's strengths and weaknesses of character as well as his/her life purpose. A numerologist can also identify exactly when challenges as well as opportunities will occur throughout a person's life. To be honest, I never used to believe in numerology. I had nothing to do with choosing my name and neither did you when we were born! So how can a person's name and date of birth say anything about him/her? I don't know how it works but I have been applying the principles of numerology for years now and I can attest that it does work. But don't believe me. Prove it to yourself. That's what I did. Check out my Famous People Analyzed section to see how to blend the individual rules of numerology together to make sense of someone.
The full name given at birth is the name that appeared on the first record of birth, usually a birth certificate but may be an entry in a family bible or baby book - whatever is accepted in the person's culture. Some people change their name during their lifetime (including women who get married) and a second chart is constructed for the changed name. However, the name first recorded at birth still profoundly affects the personality and destiny.
Around 580 B.C., Pythagoras, the Greek mathematician, philosopher and mystic who is considered the "Father of Numbers” determined that number was the essence of all things. He taught his students in his Mystery School that nothing could exist without the influence of numbers. Pythagoras also taught that the human soul is immortal. Pythagoras believed that mathematics could stand alone and that numbers formed the foundation for almost all of philosophy, music, astronomy -- literally any creative endeavor!
How Do I Determine My General and Specific Life Path Numbers? Your
Specific Life Path Number is simply the two-digit sum of the individual
digits in your date of birth, including the month, day, and year. As an
example, my date of birth is
Your General Life Path number is the number you get when you reduce your two-digit Specific Life Path number to a single-digit, or 10, 11, or 12. In the case of 10, 11, and 12 don't reduce these numbers further to a single-digit. For me, I add 4 + 0 = 4. 4 is my General Life Path number. The Specific Life Path number and General Life Path number can be written together by separating the two with a slash mark (/). So, my General Life Path Number is 4 and my Specific Life Path number is 40. Thus, I write the Life Path Number as 40/4.
More Detailed Steps for Determining Your Life Path Number
1.
Make sure you have an accurate
date of birth. 2.
Write the date of birth
numerically, not using words. For consistency write the month, then the
day, then the year. Write the complete century not an abbreviation (1968
not 68). Use the correct number for each month:
3.
Put a plus sign (+) between each
digit, including zeros; then add all of the digits to get a sum. See my
example above. 4.
Once you have added all of the digits
of the birth date, put a plus sign (+) between the two remaining digits and add
them together to reach a final sum (except 10, 11, and 12 - keep
as two-digit numbers). In my example, 40 = 4 + 0 = 4. For birth
dates in the twentieth century, you will always end up with a final sum of 2, 3,
4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, or 12. 5.
Write the complete Life Path Number as
the original sum (40 in my case) followed by the final sum (4 in my case), and
separate the final sum from the first two digits with a slash mark (/).
40/4 in my case. 6.

have the correct Life Path Number. Examples of Birth Dates to find Life

Please note: Although all of the numbers and the energies they represent are significant, the General Life Path number(s) to the right of the slash mark have a stronger influence in terms of life purpose.

Working 20/2 in the Positive These individuals balance strength and flexibility, home and work, time for others and time for self. Their bodies stay relaxed and supple, reflecting their internal equanimity, because they worry less and intuit more. Consummate problem solvers and mediators in family or business, they help others to reach agreement, just as they have reached internal harmony and integration within themselves. Using both their strength and sensitivity in support of others, they feel useful and appreciated; they support and appreciate themselves, as well, honoring their boundaries, feelings, and limits.
Working 20/2 in the Negative No one ever knows what these individuals want, not even themselves; they're too preoccupied doing what they think they are supposed to do, and they are quick to expect that others should do the same. Chronically codependent, they feel responsible for almost everything, keeping the moon and stars in place while meeting everyone's needs. Other people's whims become their demands. They "sacrifice for others" and then resent it; they tend to give too much, then resist or withdraw completely. Physically, mentally, and emotionally stressed from worrying about everyone else, they suffer from allergies and other ailments.
Working 12/3 in the Positive
These individuals do brilliant and sensitive work; they include some of the most creative people on the planet. Their body is relaxed, supple, and relatively free of tension because they express their feelings as they arise, honestly and openly, rather than storing them as neuromuscular tensions. They breathe deeply and easily. Their relationships thrive on honesty and emotional acceptance; when problems arise, they talk those problems over and resolve them. These individuals feel genuine pleasure in uplifting others through their caring words, whether through teaching, acting, singing, writing, or working in a grocery store. The occupation doesn't matter, as long as they have opportunities to reach out to people and build emotional bridges.
Working 12/3 in the Negative
These hypersensitive individuals give mixed messages; they act confident and then collapse under the weight of criticism. They come back with cutting remarks and hurt back or withdraw, all without revealing their authentic feelings. Over time, their physical tension and lack of suppleness reflect the degree of emotion they are suppressing. Filled with self-doubt and stifled emotions, insecurity and blocked creativity, stubbornness and reactivity, they fool no one but themselves.
Working 21/3 in the Positive

Filled with self-doubt and stifled emotions, insecurity and blocked creativity, stubbornness and reactivity, they fool no one but themselves.
Working 30/3 in the Positive
These individuals bring enthusiasm, compassion, understanding, and service into the world, in ways large or small, through their creative expression. Whatever their occupation, when they speak, they do so with attunement and sensitivity, and they uplift others. They are enthusiastic and connected to their emotions, and their expressiveness is passionate, forthright, and even inspired. They are honest in communicating their needs and feelings, neither manipulating nor allowing themselves to be manipulated. They manage their lives responsibly, not letting their own or other people's emotions run them. They use their inner gifts of expression, sensitivity, and intuition in the service of others, with a joy and altruism that further amplifies these resources, putting 30/3s in touch with the subtle aspects and mystery of existence.
Working 30/3 in the Negative
Depressed about the love they feel they lack from others, these individuals complain about the wrongs of society and of their life, feeling justified because there's much to criticize in this world. Needy and hypersensitive, they whine or manipulate instead of stating honestly and directly what they need, who they are, and how they feel. Some are completely blocked in their sexual natures, while others have trouble with emotional or sexual fidelity and often get into promiscuous situations.
Working 13/4 in the Positive These individuals have developed a sound financial base as well as a personal base of family, friends, and associates. They make decisions by blending head (analysis) and heart (intuition), and they have learned to trust the process of their life. Well-rounded achievers, they have followed goals to completion as they have learned skills, and they use that understanding to reach any goal. Dependable and stable, they have the blend of strength, flexibility, sensitivity, and creative sparkle that serves as a source of practical support and encouragement to others. Working 13/4 in the Negative Even if they have a place to live, these individuals lack an inner sense of stability; it's as if they were living out of a suitcase. Uncommitted and lacking follow-through, they never feel sure how long they'll stay in one place, in one job, or with one person. Ambitious but impatient, they touch down many places, but they don't put down roots. Confusion underlies their lack of commitment; they don't feel sure of what they're "supposed" to be doing. They think one thing and feel another, so they don't know what they want. This split between mind and emotions leads to impulsive decisions and then obsessive regrets. They experience more starts and stops than completions. With their unrealistic expectations, they want to be a success without going through the process to get there. Their outward bravado or superior air covers up feelings of self-doubt and insecurity. Working 22/4 in the Positive
These clear-thinking, centered individuals can accomplish whatever they set out to do, by a process of small steps, turning stumbling blocks along the way into stepping-stones. When they fail, they learn from their mistakes and do not repeat them. They have learned hard lessons, but over time the lessons have gotten easier. They have found the balance point between giving too much and giving too little. They live from a stable center of internal harmony and cooperation. They serve others only to the point they feel good and clear about their service. Relatively free of worry and stress, they allow their body to relax into life; their mind focuses on the present as they plan the next small step along the way.
Working 22/4 in the Negative
These individuals always seem to verge on the edge of one crisis or another. They are frequently frantic, even hysterical. They experience inner confusion and stress. Making impulsive decisions they later regret, they stubbornly hold their course and repeat the same mistakes. Their forceful, rigid views create anger when others don't do what these individuals think they should. As master codependents, they over give to the point of depletion. They form intense relationships, which they throw themselves into at first and then cut themselves off from, feeling alienated and resentful. Generally impatient, they want to get everything done now, without going through the necessary step-by-step process.

Working 40/4 in the Positive
These individuals prepare thoroughly for any task, and they patiently follow a step-by-step process to reach their goals. They can be counted on to follow through with any commitment, and others perceive them as stable and trustworthy friends and advisers. When making decisions, they consider and analyze their options and also trust their gut feelings. They have worked out any family issues to create the best relationship with parents that is feasible. These 40/4s display exceptional fortitude, but they also make use of their subtle gifts and intuition. They persist through hardships and obstacles, no matter how long it takes, and they remain flexible if they reach an impasse. They have created a stable home situation. Relying on intuition and faith, they eventually find the situations and opportunities to suit their interests and abilities.
Working 40/4 in the Negative
These individuals don't trust their intuition, and thus they find decision making a stressful, confusing exercise. Stuck in the mind's never-ending analyses, they go in circles trying to answer questions such as "How can I make things happen?" They end up making impulsive decisions they later regret. Their relationships tend to be unstable and short-lived. They have trouble with commitment or staying put with anyone or anything for very long, so they repeat the same patterns of hello-goodbye. Their stubbornness and unyielding views get in the way of the compromise inherent in any relationship. Impulsive and self-deceiving, they tend to start and stop a task without completing it.

Strong and inspiring, they display a broad grasp of many areas of life, and their outgoing nature makes them enjoyable company. Working 14/5 in the Negative Hampered by confusion and insecurity, these individuals accomplish little; they get stuck obsessively on one step, or they impulsively drive ahead, skipping steps, so it's halfway to the goal, then back to the drawing board. They feel torn between their desire for security and their need to take risks and explore the unknown. Uncommitted and unstable, they want freedom right now, without applying the discipline or following the step-by-step process to get it. Without a foundation to stand on, they waver and wobble, hoping and wishing, doing many things, but without real effect. Working 23/5 in the Positive
Feeling free inside, unbounded by limiting beliefs or fears, these multifaceted individuals are willing to take emotional risks. "Adventurers in daily life," they may or may not choose to go white-water rafting or skydiving, but they have developed the discipline to dig deeply into life, into the heart of experience, rather than just skim the surface. Passionate and adventurous, like Zorba the Greek, they teach by example and excitement. With their quick minds, they see and describe life in new ways. They have formed good habits and enjoy variety within a daily routine. Clever, witty, and fun loving, they make the ordinary into something extraordinary.
Working 23/5 in the Negative
Feeling insecure, these individuals manipulate and control others, usually by getting angry or by withdrawing. Or they try too hard to please others and later resent others for their own imbalance. They unintentionally create situations in which they become dependent on someone or something, such as drugs or money. They give away their freedom or limit their experience out of fear and self-doubt. Scattered and quickly bored, they are emotional con artists. Lacking clear boundaries, they play different roles or experience different selves through television or books. Addicted to dramas of one kind or another, they remain at the mercy of their search for varied experience.

Working 15/6 in the Negative
Picky, judgmental, and disappointed with life, these individuals search high and low for the right person, idea, system, or scheme to make life better and to make themselves better, but their search only reinforces their sense of incompleteness. They are unrealistic dreamers and unprepared idealists who often become martyrs to a cause. Frustrated with themselves and others, they misdirect their stifled creative energy, discharging it in self-destructive ways. They use drugs or other means to tune out a world that falls painfully short of truth, justice, honor, or peace.

Working 24/6 in the Negative
These individuals feel frustrated and impatient with their life because nothing meets their high standards or happens as quickly as they would like. Impractical, impatient dreamers, they start out with a burst of enthusiasm and effort, but if they don't succeed quickly, they soon abandon ideas and plans without really giving them a chance to develop ("What's the use?"). They idealize people they meet, then feel disappointed to learn that those people have their own issues to work through. Hypersensitive to criticism because they're so critical of themselves, they don't t listen well to others' feedback or advice, and they make the same mistakes over and over again.
Working 33/6 in the Positive
Surrounded by a bright energy field reflecting purity and clarity, these sensitive individuals have an attractive energy and enthusiastic way of helping others to see their own perfection and the positive side of every issue. Their body is strong because they've developed and refined it through proper exercise and diet. They accept their shape whether or not it meets anyone else's idea of perfection. They see the inherent perfection of others, and they have come to accept themselves; self-evaluation has changed to self-valuation. They always have a kind word or good thing to say about others. Their laser eyesight can spot the beauty in anyone or anything; they see the higher beings we are all becoming. With their high standards and sense of fairness, they work for justice, right, and truth in constructive ways.
Working 33/6 in the Negative
Tight-lipped, inhibited outsiders, these individuals have down-turned corners of their mouth that indicate their disappointment with most people and their anger and frustration about the world. "It isn't fair!" is the battle cry of these harsh critics, as they judge the world against unreachable ideals. They hold in their expression or let it out in negative tirades and complaints as their laser vision points out the flaws in everyone and everything. Their body holds tension within extra fat or extra muscle as body armor to insulate them from a world that feels burdensome due to their own self-imposed standards.
Working 42/6 in the Positive

Working 16/7 in the Positive
These individuals share their high vision and reveal new possibilities through their creative endeavors as they express truth and beauty.

Inspired by a higher purpose, they find deep meaning in uplifting and moving others to a more refined, elevated sense of their own lives.
Working 16/7 in the Negative
Feeling bitter and betrayed, insecure and self-destructive, these individuals can have a hard time being here. They feel disappointed in themselves and in others and frustrated that no one has lived up to their expectations, which are now abandoned or turned sour. They long for a more ideal world, but feeling unable to contribute, they have given up hope. Isolated as hermits, they fear others' criticism, and so withdraw from social contacts. Feeling misunderstood and judged by others, they find escape in drugs or in illusory fantasy realms.
Working 25/7 in the Positive
The life of these individuals may or may not appear spiritual or include spiritual practices or inner work. But no matter what field they engage in, these 25/7s are a source of often deep understanding because they look inside to find whatever they need to know. They also learn from others, but they respect their own internal feelings and messages. They are adventurers who bring to light the freedom within; living the liberated life, feeling comfortable and at home almost anywhere, they find satisfaction sharing the truths that experience has taught them. Embodying inner freedom, touched by a sense of oneness, peace, and inner harmony, they go out and touch others. They are grateful for all experiences, because these 25/7s see Spirit everywhere.
Working 25/7 in the Negative
Preferring solitude, these isolated individuals avoid people because they don't feel others can be trusted. Aimless seekers of experience, avid readers, or spiritual tramps, they constantly look for the book, training, or teacher who can help them be whole or give them the conclusive understanding they want with their mind. Nevertheless, they don't find what they are seeking, because they are searching outside themselves. They're among the paranoids of the world; they assume they're going to be left out, and to the degree they act like a recluse, they do get left out.
Working 34/7 in the Positive
Strong, practical, physical, and spiritual, these individuals have learned to trust the mystery and wisdom of life working through them and through everyone else. These freethinkers trust in the process of their life, including the ups and downs, the difficulties and joys. Meditation, which quiets their mind, brings a sense of harmony and peace as a regular part of their life. Combining worldly interests with a commitment toward inner growth, these individuals dedicate their work, relationships, and activities to growth and awakening. They share their insightful nature based on direct experience and feel connected to Spirit even while pursuing the practical concerns of everyday life.
Working 34/7 in the Negative
These individuals feel torn between conflicting drives for security and desires to go inward and get away from the material world. Confused and troubled by a human world they don't trust, they see hypocrisy everywhere, reflecting the turmoil they feel inside. Self-doubt only aggravates self-trust issues, so they constantly look for teachers, techniques, and ideas that can help them; they become wandering spiritual vagabonds, seldom putting down roots long enough for anything to grow in their lives. Alternately, they want nothing to do with "crazy" spiritual things. Even though they may appear sociable and gregarious, they are wary of sharing their feelings and end up feeling alone.

Working 17/8 in the Positive
These delightful and usually delighted individuals have bridged the worlds of business and spirit, combining an abiding, transcendental trust in themselves and in the world to direct them wherever they need to go. Trusting a higher power than their own, these spirited innovators find their own power as well, and they help empower and uplift others. They enjoy a sense of abundance that flows forth, attracted by their uplifting energy. As this energy moves into the world in service, and they use mind and money for higher purposes, whatever they do in the name of Spirit comes back in the form of further blessings.
Working 17/8 in the Negative
Insecure, withdrawn, and afraid of confrontation, these individuals feel baffled by the world. They want recognition, fear betrayal, and feel that something is missing -- the spiritual side of their life. Over controlling, they often feel mistrust in business dealings, and they have unexpressed inner conflicts about the morality of money. Pulled between inner and outer drives, they have a hard time being on the planet, in the sense of knowing what to do here. Although they may seem outgoing, they don't really share themselves or their very private inner processes. With the mental qualities of 7s and the power issues of 8s, they inadvertently talk over people's heads or sound preachy. They lack faith in the powers of self or Spirit.
Working 26/8 in the Positive
With their high standards and vision, these individuals make good money, doing what they enjoy, serving other people. They feel a sense of balanced inner power in their relationships, their work, and their life. Out of a sense of expansive abundance, they can hold on or let go as appropriate, without the need to manipulate or control others. They maintain their sense of fairness and integrity and serve as a positive and uplifting influence in the world, using their power and position to help others, perhaps through philanthropy. They hold money and recognition in perspective, focusing on their higher purpose.
Working 26/8 in the Negative
These unassertive individuals feel timid, invisible, and ignored. Deeply frustrated in their own endeavors, they resent "rich people" due to their own negative beliefs about money. They find it difficult to get along with others or to form relationships, and they get into power struggles unless the lines of authority are clearly defined. Over-controlling perfectionists, they are critical of others, especially those who don't show them respect. They undervalue themselves and their work, judging themselves against unrealistically high standards, and they refrain from taking on challenges in the material world. They not only avoid the fast lane, they don't even get on the highway.
Working 35/8 in the Positive
These individuals have achieved a sense of inner abundance and power through inner discipline, and many blessings have appeared in their life -- blessings of abundance they share generously and wisely through their high intelligence and expressive abilities. Others view them as powerful leaders due to their powerful mind, their ability to see the bigger picture, and their genius at getting things done. Emotionally open and vulnerable, they know when to stand their ground and when to let go. These self-made people have a generous, philanthropic nature, taking on positions of leadership and authority. Their relationships are open and mutually supportive.
Working 35/8 in the Negative
People fear these individuals without knowing why. Their drive for success, along with dependent feelings and self-doubt, lead them to a tendency toward opportunism as they seek to obtain from others the power and support they haven't found within. They tend to express and control indirectly, through manipulation. They desire wealth and power, but they lack the necessary focus or discipline and tend to sabotage their own efforts because of their inner conflicts. Feeling bad about themselves and powerless and frustrated over their circumstances, they have difficulties with lasting relationships, which degenerate into struggles for control or alternate between aggressive independence and extreme dependence and neediness.
Working 44/8 in the Positive
With the fortitude, perseverance, and analytical skills to take the necessary steps from where they are to where they want to go, no goal is beyond the reach of these individuals. Their mind approaches any task as a series of component parts, breaking down big goals into small steps. Their health and vitality are exceptional; they take good care of themselves and show necessary caution and care. Loyal and dependable, they form stable and lasting relationships, and they enjoy a sense of family and community with society at large. Powerful and practical, with commonsense business acumen and a drive for success, they allow their strength, their ability to follow a process, and their flexibility to take them to a life of abundance, not just for themselves, but for a larger cause.
Working 44/8 in the Negative
These individuals usually manage to maintain control, but they tend to be on the hysterical side. Confused and stressed, when they reach the end of their rope, they may "let go" in the form of nervous breakdowns. With their stubborn, blind faith in themselves, they seem to repeat the same mistakes again and again. Their relationships are a source of pain and frustration because they constantly engage in power struggles and arguments. They may have made a lot of money and then lost it; they search for a sense of stability but cannot make a commitment to anything or anyone. They desire success without being willing to take the steps to achieve it. They feel responsible for too much, yet they try to avoid responsibility for fear they'll fail.
Working 18/9 in the Positive
These individuals have a natural depth, charisma, and magnetism. They have an outgoing, charismatic personality that reflects both intelligence and broader wisdom. Their work at home, in their community, or in the world at large reflects their natural leadership by example. Brilliant strategists who know and follow the rules of any game they play, they use their influence and share their abundance to make a difference beyond themselves. With their spiritual power made manifest, they lead by example and by inspiration and provide valuable ideas to others. Life is never boring around them. Hardworking and creative, they subordinate their work to a higher good.
Working 18/9 in the Negative
Although their outer world may look good from the viewpoint of others, the inner world of these individuals is filled with turmoil, suppressed fear, and a sense of heaviness, laden with the idea of sin and salvation. They long for health and inner peace, but they get caught up in their own opinions and tend to seek absolute power and control. They preach to others, overtly or subtly, about how life should be lived, but they do not follow their own dictates. They resist what arises in their own life and want to control the lives of others. They lose sight of the larger gifts contained in their own challenges.
Working 27/9 in the Positive
These individuals exude depth and charisma based on their heartfelt trust in Spirit working through them. With their balanced, compassionate wisdom, they have also learned to trust Spirit in the form of other people and in the form of life's circumstances, which, no matter how pleasurable or difficult, they experience as teachings. Although their needs are often met, even in adversity they feel thankful for the lessons they receive. They make natural leaders who teach by example. Committed to service and expressing universal wisdom rather than rigid opinions, they help inspire others through their integrity and their attunement to higher laws. They are natural leaders who teach by example. Maintaining a feeling connection to the higher will within them, they effectively serve others.
Working 27/9 in the Negative
Deluded preachers or eternal seekers, these individuals center their world around a particular teaching, method, religion, or philosophy. Quiet fanatics, they live according to the dictates or opinions of others and act as if their own opinions were sacred. Others who don't trust themselves may follow or admire such individuals, mistaking strong opinions for spiritual authority. Deep down, these 27/9s feel lonely and cut off from the world and from true inspiration in their lives, because they trust their mind over their heart. They fear and eventually attract betrayal by others, even by their own body.
Working 36/9 in the Positive
Having contacted the core of their true rather than their idealized needs, desires, and feelings, the inner senses and intuitive wisdom of these individuals are wide open. With a deep acceptance and knowledge of reality, they can see a more perfect vision of self and world, yet they have learned to appreciate both as they are now -- as perfection in process. They still confront self-doubt, but they have found the courage to walk a straight line past their doubt, going where Spirit leads them. Whether their life looks conventional or unconventional, they live by higher laws and ideals and see the depths and higher possibilities of life. They connect to this world through service as they express the eternal wisdom they have contacted.
Working 36/9 in the Negative
These individuals live to please others. Their expression is blocked as they allow themselves to be defined by others' opinions. Judgmental about themselves and others, they are quick to spot imperfections but feel hypersensitive to any criticism. High-strung, nervous, and hindered by self-doubt, they play it safe, sticking with the conventional, the routine, and the familiar, since new territory would bring the risk of failure, which would only add to their disappointment in self and world. Reality never seems to meet their expectations or hopes.
Working 45/9 in the Positive
These individuals provide an inspiring example of how to follow a careful, disciplined process to reach goals and achieve a sense of inner freedom. Strong, witty, and charismatic, they attract many friends, admirers, and students; whether or not they call themselves teachers, they teach by example, demonstrating true wisdom and inner freedom. Bound by no conventional rules but aligned with higher laws, their life may appear ordinary from the outside, but their influence, even in the midst of ordinary activities, has an extraordinary quality that inspires others around them.
Working 45/9 in the Negative
These individuals display strength and cleverness, but they don't know what to do with either. Scattered, undisciplined, disoriented, and sometimes overwhelmed by a sense that they are missing something important, they hide behind the roles they play, seeking security there. They don't live what they profess, deceiving themselves as well as others. Ungrounded and irresponsible, they may feel "free" and "liberated," but they never really challenge or test their own views. Because of this, they face hard lessons about reality.
Working 19/10 in the Positive
These individuals have a magnetic personality that attracts others. They use their intuitive wisdom in counseling, healing, problem solving, or other forms of creative endeavor. Having made peace with themselves, they offer guidance by example rather than dogmatic opinions, and they respect others' opinions without being dependent on them. They have found the confidence to reveal their sensitive natures, resulting in fulfilling relationships. These individuals enjoy regular exercise as a means of balancing their energies, and they have avoided or overcome destructive addictions. They energize, influence, and inspire those around them.
Working 19/10 in the Negative
When the energies of 19/10s are bound or held in, they create physical discomfort, tension, and pent-up, explosive anger, as well as problems with tobacco, alcohol, other drugs, or food. Rigidly opinionated, these individuals zealously identify with causes, beliefs, or philosophies. Such 19/10s are usually unmarried, divorced, or just difficult to live with. They alternate between acting shy and bossy, opinionated and insecure. When inhibited, they repress sexual energy; when frustrated, they exploit or abuse sexuality. Their dogmatic opinions reflect their underlying insecurity.
Working 28/10 in the Positive
These individuals serve as authority figures whom others admire and respect. They serve as intuitive advisers to friends, loved ones, and others. Having overcome insecurity, such 28/10s make good money in service of others, feeling the healing force that flows through them. Independent, self-sufficient, even enchanting, they attract others to their energy field. They know that whatever difficulties or challenges arise, they have the power to deal with them. Intuitive and inspiring, they provide clear counsel for the highest good of all concerned.
Working 28/10 in the Negative
Insecure, trapped in negative beliefs about money and authority, feeling needy and dependent, these individuals control and manipulate others. They resent authority figures because they haven't yet taken on their own authority. Suffering physically with symptoms of repressed anger and frustration, they fear the dark images that appear in their imagination; they are unable to discriminate between negative impressions and clear intuitions. Such 28/10s haven't yet experienced or contacted the inner and outer guides available to them.
Working 37/10 in the Positive
In the positive, 37/10s bring a lightness and energy to those they contact. Trusting themselves and the energy working through them, they walk forward confidently and lightly, with the faith that even if they make a mistake, it's a natural part of their path. They have the courage and openness to express their deepest feelings and communicate their inner needs directly and clearly, creating trust based on understanding. They feel joy in their expanding gifts and creativity, which enables them to do refined work in healing or other fields as they tune into other people and feel a deepening connection with the natural world. This healing may take many forms, such as art, music, drama, or other aesthetic forms of expression.
Working 37/10 in the Negative
Starting out as naively trusting seekers, these individuals withdraw from others out of insecurity and fear of being embarrassed, so the very betrayal they fear comes true. Not revealing their feelings, they find or perceive that people misunderstand or even mistrust them. Angry or depressed with themselves, they have disturbing dreams, which reveal the shadow side they fear. They also feel repressed bitterness about relationships, and they struggle with blocked, frustrated creative energies. Physical maladies may force them to confront issues of health.
Working 46/10 in the Positive
These individuals have distinctive qualities of strength, sensitivity, vision, and a bright, clear field of energy. They have the intuitive capacity to create a vision or internal ideal, along with the strength to work as long as it takes to help bring that vision into reality. Pioneers who point the way, they meet with success in business and in relationships by accepting people as they are while skillfully moving to uplift and reach out even farther and higher. These 46/10s are literally or figuratively visionary warrior-priests, working for higher justice.
Working 46/10 in the Negative
Impatient, frustrated, insecure and discouraged because life never meets their expectations or time tables, these individuals want heaven on Earth, right now, but they don't appreciate the work required to bring it forth; like Don Quixote tilting at windmills, they seek the "impossible dream." Sensitive to criticism because they criticize themselves endlessly without realizing it, they don't really hear others' feedback or advice; instead, they create rationalizations that fool even themselves. Their judgments interfere with their direct intuitive sight. Focusing only on problems, they discharge frustrated creative energy through abusing alcohol, other drugs, food, or sex.
Working 29/11 in the Positive
These people feel inspired and inspire others as they follow a clear path of service, the underlying motive in all that they do. Creative strategists, supportive friends, and loyal allies, they attract people with their natural charisma and lead by inspiration. In whatever creative field they choose, they offer something special, showing exceptional vitality and endurance to reach their goals. Relaxed and open, these 29/11s get inspiration directly from Spirit.
Working 29/11 in the Negative
Outwardly insecure and inhibited, or aloof, subdued, and seemingly self-assured, these individuals feel haunted by a sense of inferiority that manifests as competitiveness and a fear of losing. Dominant and opinionated, they seem to have a chip on their shoulder and a need to prove something. Stubborn and resistant, bossy and highly opinionated, they have a hard time letting go. Their illusory inferiority inhibits creative risks that would make their life exciting. Lost, without a real sense of themselves, they alternate between bouts of fitful energy and periods of collapse. Their pent-up energy generates addictive or abusive behaviors, and their lessons about spiritual law (especially about actions and their consequences) often get delivered in a court of law.
Working 38/11 in the Positive
Brilliant and powerful leaders or dynamic creative advisers, these individuals can solve long-standing problems, create new options, and open doors to a better world. Money isn't the main issue for them; they apply their energy, and there's always enough. They give and receive without keeping track of the score, and they attract others with their powerful energy field. They help empower others, and they share abundantly. They've learned to lead from a position of equality and mutual respect. Driving the material success path with a tidal wave of energy makes for an exciting, productive life.
Working 38/11 in the Negative
These individuals outmaneuver, outcompete, and overcontrol others, often through manipulation. Too unsure to put themselves on the line, they deny their power and sabotage their success or, alternately, they exploit their power and seek to achieve success by dominating or outshining others. Avoiding exercise, they struggle with addictions due to blocked creative energy. Frustrated by pent-up energy, they alienate others due to an aloof, negative exterior, but underneath churn gnawing self-doubts and insecurities.
Working 47/11 in the Positive
The energy field of these individuals shines with a kind of clear luminosity others sense rather than see with their physical eyes. By their inspiring presence, they remind us of the creative energy and Spirit that works through all of us, whether or not we are yet aware of it. Traveling through different dimensions in imagination, they experience life as a spiritual mystery -- a living, tacit realization -- and they use their analytical skills, lightning-fast mind, and creative energy to share this uplifted experience of life with others. It may be hard for us to fathom the source of their inspiration or to keep up with their pace. It's as if they have an angel on their shoulder; the more they trust and work with their inner guides and subtle intuitions, the more positive energy and beauty they bring into the world.
Working 47/11 in the Negative
These individuals live in a world of their own mind, without a sense of grounding or connection. Isolated and embittered, they lose themselves in the "virtual reality" of their creative imagination and live like hermits, even when among people. They prefer computers to people, and solitude to people they mistrust. Brilliant failures, they want a magical world where things happen quickly and easily, and they don't always want to be here on planet Earth. They are very sensitive to feeling betrayed by others, and they experience conflicting pulls between inner and outer reality. Struggling under the weight of unresolved childhood difficulties, with their emotions inhibited, they are vulnerable to addiction to escapist drugs or experiences.
Working 39/12 in the Positive
The many fine qualities these individuals possess are magnified through their interaction and collaboration with others. They bring passion, presence, and expressive creativity into the world.

They make loyal friends, and their relationships are based on heartfelt feeling and deep understanding and respect. They find meaning and enjoyment in their work, which makes use of their creativity and expression, as they help others do their best. These individuals show class and refinement, strength and sensitivity.
Working 39/12 in the Negative
Stubborn and insecure, these individuals create in the negative through complaints and cutting remarks that reflect the depth of overwhelming passions for which they can find no outlet. They overgive, then find fault and withdraw. They have trouble getting along, even with themselves, as their drives compete for priority and attention and their mind whirls as they try to decide what they should do and for whom. They feel as if they're living for other people, at the whim of others' needs and opinions. They have unusual, emotionally generated physical ailments stemming from frustrated expression. They feel lonely and isolated.
Working 48/12 in the Positive
These individuals will learn the lessons of process through their experience: "When in a hurry, slow down;" and "Better to do it right than do it over." In working through their own family issues, they will develop compassion and understanding. Creative troubleshooters, they will find the self-control, the integrated talents, and the drives to support the common good effectively and powerfully. Through creative service, they will find the recognition they desire. Happiest where the action is, in the center of the cyclone, they will serve where they can, in the way that gives them the most joy, often as pioneers of new frontiers.
Working 48/12 in the Negative
Caught in a maelstrom of change like a rigid tree in a high wind, these individuals will fight to maintain control in a world that feels out of control, reflecting their inner turbulence and frustrated ambition. Their creative energy will demand release, but they will withhold it, afraid of what it might do. They will bend over backward to help other people and then resent it. Stalinlike, they may end up "helping by command," even in their own family. They will resent others' authority until they find the courage to apply their own. Ambitious, they will want everything now, but they won't understand the time or effort it takes to achieve goals and so will end up brilliant failures. When they compromise their integrity, they will meet with short-term rewards but court long-term disaster. When they fall, they will fall hard. What Does MY Birthday Number Have To Do With Who I Am? Actually, the day you were born has much to do with your potential gifts and talents. It is a less significant influence than your specific Life Path Number but important nonetheless. Consider it a sub-focus of your Life Path Number. To learn more about the influence of your birthday click on your birthday number in Table 5 below.
Please keep in mind that the personality traits of your Enneagram or Myers-Briggs type may contradict and override your birthday number characteristics. This may make it more confusing to see the influence of your birthday number but it is still there. For example, I have a friend who is an Extravert in the Myers-Briggs system. He is born on the 7th (of April). People born on the 7th will tend to need time alone, which he does, but not as much as if he was an Introvert. You have to blend everything together!

Here is how the numbers correspond to my given name at birth, GEORGE RUSSELL ROWE. Notice that I separated the vowels from the consonants. In numerology, vowels, consonants and the total of all letters have different placements because they have different meanings in the interpretation. Your name (along with your date of birth) helps explain why you make the choices you make.
Among other things, your name numbers describe your heart's desires, your self image, your means of self expression as well as your career talents. Your name and date of birth can give you insight into your predestined lifetime number cycles. A Numerology forecast can give you information on the types of experiences you will encounter as well as the specific obstacles and challenges that you will need to overcome in order to be happy. Since we have free will to act as we choose (which we can do either consciously or habitually/unconsciously) regarding the people and experiences that cross our path, wouldn't it be helpful to know as much about yourself and your life path as possible?
