Pythagoras taught us that everything vibrates to energy – including numbers. Born in 569 BC, the Greek Philosopher and teacher taught us to tap into the vibration of numbers to learn about ourselves, our purpose and the world around us. His work showed that the numbers in our birth date could reveal hidden clues to our personality. Your birthdate can even let you know what your love life has in store for you.

Take the numbers of your birthdate, add them up and reduce them to a single digit. This lets you know what your life path number is. If you were born on May 23, 1980, for example, you would add 5 + 2 + 3 + 1 + 9 + 8 + 0 = 28. Then you would reduce 28 to a single digit of 1. Your Life Path Number gives you clues about your destiny. The attributes of your Life Path number tell you what kind of lover you are and what kind of love you need to be happy and fulfilled.

LIFEPATH 1

Ones are independent. They are competitive, driven and ambitious. One life paths do best when they have plenty of freedom to focus on their goals. One energy has a hard time asking for help. They like to do things on their own and in their own way. Ones can be self-critical and need to work on asking for help and being kinder to themselves. In love, a One Life Path does not give their heart easily but when they do, they give all of themselves.

They are loyal and true as long as they are given freedom within the relationship. Nagging, jealousy and neediness will cause a 1 Life Path to run for the hills. Ones need to be with someone who is self-assured and confident. As long as a One Life Path is allowed significant independence in a relationship, their love life will be healthy and happy.

Ones are most compatible with 3, 7 and 5 life paths. The laid back nature of the 3 and 5 balance the driven personality of the 1. The Seven respects the 1’s need for independence and solitude. The 1, 5 and 7 are also very smart and connect on an intellectual level.

Two are made for love. Two is the number of partnership, balance and companionship. Twos hate conflict and will often put up with a lot just to avoid a fight. Two energy is loving and kind and generous. Twos are loyal and committed in a relationship. They love to be around people and need a partner in their life. Twos have a lot of compassion and empathy for others.

Twos are about duality. On the one hand, 2’s are loving, compassionate and generous. But they can also be sensitive, moody, passive aggressive, and resentful. Twos, when working on the negative side of their vibration, can be overly sensitive and will withdraw from lovers if they get their feelings hurt. It’s important for 2 energy to learn to love and take care of themselves first before giving their heart to another.

Twos are most compatible with 4’s and 8s. Two’s can be dreamy or wishy-washy so matching up with the decisive, strong 8 is a good fit. The balanced Four is a great fit for the Two. The kind energy of the 6 and 9 match up well with the 2 because the 6 will remind the 2 they are lovable while the 9’s wisdom will help the 2 focus on goals and ideals.

LIFEPATH 3

Three Life Paths are creative, fun and excellent communicators. They enjoy being in the limelight. Threes are sunny and optimistic. In love, threes are fun-loving, generous and gregarious. They need to be with someone who is quick-witted and fun. Threes don’t like to be bored. They need to have stimulating conversations and in-depth discussions. Small talk is not for the Three Life Path. The way to their heart is through the intellect. Threes also need plenty of space for their creative energy to flow freely. Like the One Life Path, they don’t like to feel hemmed in by anyone, especially their partner. Threes don’t need a lot of showy demonstrations of love. But they do require a true heart-to-heart and mind-to-mind connection in order to feel connected.

Threes are most compatible with the adventurous 5, but they’ll enjoy spending time with the nurturing 6 and caring 9 as well. Threes are so flexible, they are compatible with most of the numbers. The introverted 7 might be a fun challenge while the practical 4 might get on their nerves. The focused energy of the 8 will help a Three remain on path with goals.

LIFEPATH 4

Fours are rock solid in love. They don’t like to play the field preferring long-term, committed relationships over short and fun flings. Fours need serenity, a home and a solid relationship. They will often stay in a relationship that isn’t working just to feel a sense of security. It’s not that fours hate to be alone – that would be the 2 – but that fours need the stability of long-term love. Fours are loyal and true in their commitments. You can trust their word and rely on their support. Like the cyclical nature of the four seasons, 4s are predictable and reliable. They prefer reason and logic. It’s tough to argue with a 4. They can be stubborn and righteous and will fight long into the night to prove their point.

Fours are most compatible with the 1’s, 2’s and 8s. Fours respect the driven energy of the 1 and 8 numbers and when partnered with one of these life paths, the four will accomplish many goals and dreams.

They can’t feel stuck in a relationship or they will leave. Clingy people are not attractive to the 5. They take their time picking their partner and might enjoy playing the field a bit in their youth, but once the 5 decides on someone, they stay true to their commitments.

If they do feel trapped or bored in a relationship, they will escape -- either by leaving or through addictions or distractions. But as long as a 5 is allowed to maintain their freedom and individuality within a relationship, all will be well. Just don’t try to lie to a 5. They are called the detectives of the other numbers.

Sixes should avoid dating people with co-dependent or addiction issues. With their kind heart and compassionate nature, sixes try to fix everyone and can stay in unhealthy relationships in an attempt to heal their partner. Sixes need to understand that people must change on their own. No one can do it for them – not even the caring Six.

A Six Life Path is also an excellent entrepreneur or boss. In love, they will like to take charge or will find themselves being the cruise director of the relationship’s social scene. As soon as a Six learns to ask for help, they will have the balance they seek in relationships. Everyone gets along with the Six, but they are especially compatible with the loving 2 who also loves family and the driven 8 who will work just as hard on the relationship as the 6 will.

LIFEPATH 9

The Nine Life Path is the wise, old soul of the other numbers. They are here to learn how to be in a family while also setting firm, healthy boundaries. Nines need to define themselves by their own definition, not their family’s. For this reason, in love Nines are respectful of their partner’s independence. Nines enjoy being in charge but only because they’re natural leaders and usually know the best way to do things. Most Nines have issues with one of their parents from childhood that they’re here to work on. For this reason, Nines make excellent parents. The one thing Nines have to watch out for is overdoing it. Others can take advantage of a Nine’s smart, capable talents. People never notice when a Nine is sinking into exhaustion, depression or despair. Everyone looks at a Nine and thinks, “Oh they’re doing great.” Nines need to learn how to ask for help. They must engage in the flow of give and take and learn how to let others pitch in and help out.

In loves, Nines are devoted – as long as they are given plenty of alone time. Nines – like the 1 and the 7 – need solitary time to recharge their batteries. As long as a partner gives the Nine space to be who they are, the Nine will be committed and loyal in a relationship.

Nines embrace the idea of marriage, family and commitment as long as the relationship has mutual respect, healthy boundaries and plenty of time for independence.

Nines are most compatible with Threes and Sixes. Nines share a love of creativity with the three. The happy-go-lucky nature of the Three is a nice balance to the often serious Nine. Six’s entrepreneurial nature is also a good match for the Nine’s leadership strengths. They both share a love of family and nurturing others. However, Nines are so advanced spiritually that they can really get along with any number. Nines respect the solitary nature of the 1 and 7. They admire the Four’s love of knowledge.
