Your Lifepath Number

[amber]

Here's Stevie's, she's an "8".

"The Life Path 8 suggests that you entered this plane armed to lead, direct, organize and govern. You are very ambitious and goal-oriented. You will want to use your ambitions, your organizational ability, and your efficient approach to carve a satisfying niche for yourself. If you are a positive 8 you are endowed with tremendous potential for conceiving far-reaching schemes and ideas, and also possessing the tenacity and independence to follow them through to completion. In short, you were born to be an executive.

You know how to manage yourself and your environment. Your ability to judge the character and potential of the people around you is an asset used to your advantage. A large part of your success in life comes from how hard you work. This Life Path is the most prone to producing workaholics. But your ability to spot good people and engage them in your endeavors is a special trait not to be overlooked. There is an inspirational quality in your makeup which allows you to become a great leader. You are practical and steady in your pursuit of major objectives, and you have the courage of your convictions when it comes to taking the necessary chances to get ahead.

With the Life Path of the number 8 you are focused on learning the satisfactions to be found in the material world. The Life Path 8 produces many powerful, confident and materially successful people. Most of your concerns involve money and learning of the power that comes with its proper manipulation.

This Life Path is perhaps the one that is the most concerned with and desirous of status as an ultimate measure of success. You want to be recognized for your hard work and achievements. The attainment of honors and acceptance into the club of executive leadership is all important. For this, you may find yourself very well suited to compete in the business world or in the political arena.

In relationships, you are frank, honest, and steadfast. You may be very much in love, but watch that you are not too busy and preoccupied to show it. Being the lavish provider is not always an adequate substitute for showing your devotion and affection in more personal ways. You have a great need for close personal relationships to mitigate and somehow soften your nature. You must find the time for love and keep it as an important project in your life.

The negative 8 can be dictatorial and often suppresses the enthusiasm and efforts of fellow member of the environment. Often, the strength of their own personality excludes close feelings for other people with whom they come in contact. Material gains and rewards often become issues of utmost importance, even to the neglect of family, home and peace of mind. Dedication to success can become an obsession. Emotional feelings are often suppressed by the negative 8, resulting in isolation and loneliness. All Life Path 8 people must avoid discounting the opinions of others."

To Calculate your lifepath:
"The Life Path number is established from the date of birth. First, convert the month to a single number . Then convert the day of birth to a single digit . Next, add the total digits of year and reduce this sum to a single digit . The individual digits representing the month, day, and year, be they single digits, are then added together, as necessary to reduce the sum once again to a single digit 1 through 9."
So, if, say, your birthday was 06/30/74...hehehe...it would be 6+3 = 9 + 1974 (1+9+7+4) = 21 = 2+1 = 3. so 3 + 9 = 12 = 2+1 = 3!

See? I'm a 3. Although that equation looks more complex than it really is, swear.

Let's take another. Here's Paula.
4/21/1975
4+2+1(3) = 7. 1+9+7+5 = 23. 2+3 = 5. so, 7+5 = 12
12 is not a single digit, so 1+2 = 3. So Paula is a "3", too.

Now Liddy B. 10/03/1949
1+0 = 1. 3+0 = 3. 1+9+4+9 = 23. So 2+3 = 5. so it's 1+3+5 = 9. So Liddy is a "9".

Whatever, I'm sure you can all follow the instructions, no matter how bad at math you are. If I can do it...anyone can...


Here's all the lifepath number synopses. Mine's pretty darn accurate. Stevie's is kinda accurate. Moreso if you really think about how she is. I've always thought she was much more ambitious, headstrong, and willful (in a nice way) than her image portrays. You can't get to the level she has gotten to without that. And by many accounts, she was the one who really pushed Lindsey and her to the public. Before an argument commences, I'm not saying that means she is more talented than anyone. Except at publicity.

She seems airy fairy, and she is, but there is a whole nother side of her, the side that became famous, successful, and collaborated with the best - that I think her number speaks to. You don't get to her level of accomplishment and fame by accident, if you see what I'm saying. It takes some real work and skill, skill with people, belief in yourself, the willingness to believe in yourself that much. And people don't usually think of her that way, her ambition and work ethic and savvy about collaberating - but I do. I see that as a very prominent part of her personality. I know people will disagree, but I think her ambition and willingness to work (sing everywhere, with anyone, anytime, tour to exhaustion, and still do tons of media and interviews) greatly contributed to the fame portion of that band. And her obvious networking abilities. You maybe can't tell right off, from her demeanor and image, but that girl has always had her eyes on the prize, and worked tirelessly for that prize, even when others didn't. And continues to do so. With artistic integrity, for the most part. Not so much with the dictatorial thing like it says, but a little bit (ie, "my arms look fat, lets scrap the video!" hehehe)

So, in short, I totally see her "8-ness", and contribute much more work and will to her than people normally do. I really think that is a large part of her personality that is taken for granted or overlooked, but is very much real, and has informed her and the bands career throughout. None of those others did as much publicity, or toured as much. Nothing against them, I'm just saying that girl worked tirelessly, for her solo career and the band's projects. Ain't nothin' to sneeze at. Especially considering that apparently she was the most sickly. I think she is owed props for that that she rarely gets. Sure, she was the most gorgeous, and that made the media easier, but still. Linds is gorgeous, too, ya know?

And for you fans of Astrology (hi, the two of you!) I would also attribute all the same to her moon in Capricorn. Ambition, Ambition, Ambition! And the willingness to work for it! (hi, Chris-Gldstwmn! Good job, girl!)

I really admire that quality, largely because I kind of lack it.
I cared not! For love no(r) money, etc. Also, I sing for the things that money can't buy. hee. dammit. hehehe.

I will proceed to highlight my number because I am an admitted egomaniac. (not really, just a bit). Really, I'm doing it for Paula, and all the other "3"'s out there. This is my favorite "3" moment, though: "It is usually easy for you to deal with problems because you can freely admit the existence of problems without letting them get you down for too long. "

It's nice the way they described it, but I would more likely call it "educated/congnicent denial" Lol. It's like, I know about it, but don't care. Basically.

Is yours accurate? I, of course, think it's cool because mine is accurate. But there is only 9 categories, it would be interesting to see if others' were accurate, as well. Or not. For instance, if I did my math right, Paula is a 3, too. But I'm not sure we're the same.
Anyway, this is, apparently, one of my ideas of fun things to think about, hope you find it so as well. I got to thinking about it again tonight b/c my teacher told me he was a number "1" - and he's totally like that. He's a Cap, too, which makes it more pronounced, but still.

Here's all the numbers.

"1 (10/1, 19/1)

The Life Path 1 suggests that you entered this plane with skills allowing you to become a leader type rather easily. Your nature is charged with individualistic desires, a demand for independence, and the need for personal attainment. Many of our military generals, corporate leaders, and political leaders are men and women having the Life Path 1. When you display positive 1 traits your mind is capable of significant creative inspiration, and it possesses the enthusiasm and drive to accomplish a great deal. You are very good at getting the ball rolling; initiating new projects is your forte. You are at your best when confronted with obstacles and challenges, as you combat these with strength and daring. This is both the physical and inner varieties of strength. With this strength comes utter determination and the capability to lead. As a natural leader you have a flair for taking charge of any situation. You have a tendency to do this, even if, at times, it is not appropriate for you to do so.

Highly original, you may have talents as an inventor or innovator of some sort. In any work that you choose, your independent attitude can show through. You have very strong personal needs and desires, and you feel it is always necessary to follow your own convictions. You tire of routine and highly detailed tasks rather quickly.

You are ambitious and assertive in promoting yourself. Although you may hide the fact for social reasons, you can be self-centered and demand to have your way in many circumstances. That said, for the most part, you are considered very good company, friendly, good-natured, and a wonderful conversationalist. People like you and are drawn to you. It is a good thing they are, because you are very sensitive to disapproval and you don't handle it very well.

There are several ways that the negative side of the 1 can show up. The 1 always has the potential for greatness as a leader, but they may fail as a follower. Unfortunately, sometimes you have to follow for a while before you are allowed to lead and this can be a difficult time. When the 1 Life Path person is not fully developed and expressing the negative side of this number, the demeanor may appear very dependent rather than independent, particularly in the early years. If you are expressing this negative trait of the number 1, you are likely to be very dissatisfied with your circumstances, and long for self-sufficiency. This might be defined as the weak or dependent side of the negative 1 Life Path. On the strong side of this negative curve, the 1 energy can become too self-serving, selfish and egotistical. Avoid being too bossy and demanding.

2 (11/2, 20/2)

The Life Path 2 suggests that you entered this plane with a spiritual quality in your makeup allowing you to be one of the peacemakers in society. Your strengths come from an ability to listen and absorb. You are a fixer, a mediator, and a very diplomatic type of person using persuasive skills rather than forcefulness to make your way in the world. When you embrace and exhibit the strenghth of your spiritual side, you are intuitive, avant-garde, idealistic, and visionary. These extremes make you interesting with much to offer society. You have the potential to be a deep-thinker, and no doubt interested in understanding many of life's mysteries and more intriguing facets.

If you are living with the positive attributes of the number 2 Life Path, you are apt to have the most delicate ability to be balanced and fair. You clearly see the full spectrum of viewpoints in any argument or situation, and because of this, people may seek you out to be a mediator. In this role you are able to settle disputes with the most unbiased flair. There is sincere concern for others; you think the best of people, and want the best for them. You are honest and open in thought, word and deed. You excel in any form of group activity where your expertise in handling and blending people can be used effectively. Manners and tact mark your way with others, and you are not one to dominate a group or situation. You are the master of compromise and of maintaining harmony in your environment. As the ultimate team member, you never demand praise or recognition.

In many ways, you are a creature of habit and routine, and you like your path and pattern well worn and familiar. Your ability to analyze and render accurate judgments is a wonderful natural trait you bring to the business world. You strive for complete accuracy and even perfection in your work. Perhaps you are not a leader, but you are a visionary and a very talented idea person.

On the negative side of the 2, nervous energy is a trait often observed in the 2. Because of this, you may be seen as an extremist who is sometimes the zealot in expressing likes and dislikes. Nervous tension can bring the normally easygoing 2 into a state of emotional outrage, which to those around you, may seem so out of character. Indeed, the 2 can sometimes become oversensitive. In some instances, the strength of the 2 can also become its weakness. You may find it hard to decide what to do at times. Twos often struggle against indecisiveness. Making decisions and getting your life in gear, so to speak, may be a challenge. There is a tendency for the many 2s to harbor feelings of uneasiness, and dissatisfaction with accomplishments and personal progress in life. The biggest obstacle and difficulty you may face is that of passivity and a state of apathy and lethargy. The negative 2 can be very pessimistic. When this sets in to any degree, you are able to accomplishes very little. If living on the negative side of the 2, you may lack common sense, and you are quite often unable to distinguish between fantasy and reality.

Even the more positive individuals with the 2 Life Path will prefer a more amiable and less competitive environment, often shunning the business world. You can best serve society in endeavors utilizing your skills of counseling and guidance. Much of your idealism is people oriented and quite humanitarian in nature. You expect a great deal of yourself.

3 (3, 12/3, 21,/3, 30/3)
The Life Path 3 indicates that you entered this plane with a strong sense of creativity and with wonderful communication skills. Achievement for you most likely comes through engaging your ingenious expression. A truly gifted 3 possesses the most exceptional innovative skills, normally in the verbal realm, writing, speaking, acting, or similar endeavors. Here we are apt to find the entertainers of the world, bright, effervescent, sparkling people with very optimistic attitudes. The bright side of this path stresses harmony, beauty and pleasures; of sharing your inventive talents with the world. Capturing your capability in creative self-expression is the highest level of attainment for this life path.

Life is generally lived to the fullest, often without much worry about tomorrow. You are not very good at handling money because of a general lack of concern about it. You spend it when you have it and don't when you don't.

The 3 loves connecting with people. The characteristics of the 3 are warmth and friendliness, a good conversationalist, social and open. A good talker both from the standpoint of being a delight to listen to, but even more importantly, one who has the ability to listen to others. Accordingly, the life path 3 produces individuals who are always a welcome addition to any social situation and know how to make others feel at home. The approach to life tends to be exceedingly positive. Your disposition is almost surely sunny and openhearted. A happy and often inspired person, you are constantly seeking and needing the stimuli of similar people.

There is a remote side to your 3 Life Path, as well. This comes as a surprise to the native and to those who think they are well acquainted. The 3 is actually a very sensitive soul. When hurt, you can easily retreat to a shell of morose silence for extended periods. Nonetheless, the 3 eventually copes with all of the many setbacks that occur in life and readily bounces back for more. It is usually easy for you to deal with problems because you can freely admit the existence of problems without letting them get you down for too long. Because of your own sensitivity to hurt, you have a caring disposition and seem to be very conscious of other people's feelings and emotions.

In romance, the 3 is a very ardent and loyal lover. Affairs that don't go well can leave scares that seem to linger. Emotional experiences of all sorts tend to deeply touch the 3 and the drama may take some time to play out. Regrettably, the giving disposition of the 3 often attracts demanding partners. As with most of life's issues for the 3 Life Path, balance in relationships is illusive.

Your big test with a 3 Life Path is controlling your highs and lows. You won't survive very well in any routine environment or when you are placed under dominating management. Slow thinking and overly contemplative people tend to frustrate you, and you don't function too well with this type whether you are working for, with, or under them. Your exuberant nature can take you far, especially if you are ever able to focus your energies and talents.

For the few living on the negative side of this Life Path, a 3 may be so delighted with the joy of living that the life becomes frivolous and superficial. You may scatter your abilities and express little sense of purpose. The 3 can be an enigma, for no apparent reason you may become moody and tend to retreat. Escapist tendencies are not uncommon with the 3 life path, and you find it very hard to settle into one place or one position. Guard against being critical of others, impatient, intolerant, or overly optimistic.

4 (4, 13/4, 22/4, 31/4, 40/4)

The Life Path 4 suggests that you entered this plane with a natural genius for planning, fixing, building, and somehow, with practical application and cerebral excellence, making things work. You are one of the most trustworthy, practical, and down-to-earth of individuals; the cornerstone members of society. Indeed, as a Life Path 4, you are a builder of society. The cream of the crop in this Life Path can be a master builder in society. if you are among these highly talented people, you have an idealistic nature which is grounded in practical terms, allowing you to conceive grandiose, far-reaching schemes and carry them through to the end. If you desire and are willing to work for it, you can achieve enormous success, prestige, and fame. Obviously, everyone with a 4 Life Path does not become famous.

All with this Life Path have the ability to take orders and to carry them out with dedication and perseverance and many 4s live and work happily in this context. But so often, the 4 Life Path is the entrepreneur and manager in the community. In either role, you always demand as much from yourself as you do from others, and sometimes a lot more.

You have the kind of will power that is often mistaken for sheer stubbornness. You don't think of yourself as dogged, but your honest beliefs and that ever direct speech makes you come across as completely unremitting. Once a decision is made, it will be followed through to the conclusion, right, wrong, or indifferent. You are very set in your ways and determined to handle things the way you are so certain that they should be handled. Your tenacity of purpose and ability to get the job done borders on obsession. You are a wonderful manager with a great sense of how to get the job done.

You are an excellent organizer and planner because of your innate ability to view things in a very common sense and practical way. This stems from a strong desire to be a perfectionist in your labor. Planning is necessary to avoid errors. It's very likely that a 4 Life Path person invented the to-do list, because it is the rare Life Path 4 who doesn't have one by her side at all times. Your life is programed in an orderly fashion permitting you to catalog and manage the flow of ideas and activities that fill your day. Indeed, you seem to function best when you are under the gun and facing a tough set of problems.

Loyal and devoted, you make the best of your marriage, and you are always the good provider. Friends may be few in number, but you are very close to them and once friendships are made, they often last a lifetime.

The number 4 is solidly associated with the element of earth from which it gains its strength and utter sense of reality. You are one of the most dependable people you know. If patience and determination can ever win, you are sure to achieve great success in life. Often, you are called on to take care of others; to finish what they have started. It may not seem fair and probably isn't, but it may be the key to your accomplishment and reputation.

The negative side of the 4 can prove dogmatic to an excess, narrow-minded, and repressive. A lot of skin-deep people turn you off, and you lack the tact to keep your feelings from being totally clear to all around. Additionally, the negative 4 has a bad tendency to get caught up in the daily routine of affairs, missing the big picture and major opportunities that come along once in a while.

5 (5, 14/5, 23/5, 32/5)

The Life Path 5 suggests that you entered this plane with a highly progressive mindset, with the attitude and skills to make the world a better place. The key word for your Life Path is freedom. In the pursuit of freedom, you are naturally versatile, adventurous, and advanced in your thinking. You are one of those people who is always striving to find answers to the many questions that life poses. The byword for the positive Life Path 5 is constant change and improvement. You want to be totally unrestrained, as this is the number most often associated with the productive use of freedom.

You may be one of the most compassionate of people as the 5 is surely the most freedom-loving and compassionate Life Path. Your love of freedom extends to humanity at large, and concern for your fellow man, his freedom and his welfare, may be foremost in your mind. A great Life Path 5 American President, Abraham Lincoln, issued the Emancipation Proclamation, and ended slavery in America. As the ultimate progressive thinker type, your potential in government, the law, and other positions of authority is unlimited.

You are a good communicator, and you know how to motivate people around you. This may be your strongest and most valuable trait. Because of this skill, and your amazing wit, you are a truly natural born salesman. This ability to sell and motivate extends to any sort of physical product all the way through to whatever ideas or concepts you may embrace.

You abhor routine and boring work, and you are not very good at staying with everyday tasks that must be finished on time. On the average, the number 5 personality is rather happy-go-lucky; living for today, and not worrying too much about tomorrow. It is also important for you to find a job that provides thought-provoking tasks rather than routine and redundant responsibilities. You do best dealing with people, but the important thing is that you have the flexibility to express yourself at all times. You have an innate ability to think through complex matters and analyze them quickly, but then be off to something new.

A love of adventure may dominate your life. This may take the form of mental or physical manifestation, but in either case, you thrill to the chance for exploration and blazing new trails. Surely you belong to a group considered the most worldly and traveled. Clearly you are not one to pass up a good venture. You have quite a lot of the risk-taker in your makeup. If you aren't putting your money at stake, you are surely open to a wide variety of risks in your everyday life. Taking the conservative approach is just not in your nature.

In romance, you hate to be tied down and restricted. This doesn't necessarily mean that you are unfaithful or promiscuous, but it does mean that a good partner for you needs to understand your nature. A relationship based on jealousy and having tight reigns is not going to work at all for you. A partner who understands your need to be free and trusted will find you trustworthy, even if you aren't constantly available and totally dutiful. It is important for you to mix with people of a like mind, and to try to avoid those that are too serious and demanding.

If you are living on the negative side of the Life Path 5, you are apt to be multitalented, but suffering from some lack of direction, and there is confusion surrounding your ambition. Restless, discontent, and impulsive, you may bounce from one job to the next without accomplishing much at all. A negative Life Path 5 can become very irresponsible in tasks and decisions concerning the home and business life. The total pursuit of sensation and adventure can result in your becoming self-indulgent and totally unaware of the feelings of those around you.

6 (6, 15/6, 24/6, 33/6)

The Life Path 6 suggests that you entered this plane with tools to become the ultimate nurturer, and a beacon for truth, justice, righteousness, and domesticity. Your paternal, or maternal, as the case may be, instincts with a 6 Life Path exceed all others by a considerable margin. Whether in the home or in the work place, you are the predominant caretaker and family head. While the 6 may assume significant responsibilities in the community, the life revolves around the immediate home and family, for this is the most domestic of numbers. Conservative principles and convictions are deeply ingrained and define your character.

You are idealistic and must feel useful to be happy. The main contribution you make is that of advice, service, and ever present support. You are a humanitarian of the first order. It is your role to serve others, and you start in the home environment. You are very human and realistic about life, and you feel that the most important thing in your life is the home, the family and the friends.

This is the Life Path related to leadership by example and assumption of responsibility, thus, it is your obligation to pick up the burden and always be ready to help. If you are like the majority with Life Path 6, you are one who will willingly carry far more than your fair share of any load, and you are always there when needed. In doing so, you take ownership and often become an authority over the situation.

In romance, the 6 is loyal and devoted. A a caretaker type, you are apt to attract partners who are somewhat weaker and more needy than yourself; someone you can care for and protect. The main ingredient that must prevail in the relationship is complete harmony. You don't function well in stressful relationships that become challenges for you to control. It is the same with friends, you are loyal and trustworthy. But there is a tendency for you to become dominating and controlling.

It's likely you feel compelled to function with strength and compassion. You are a sympathetic and kind person, generous with personal and material resources. Wisdom, balance, and understanding are the cornerstones of your life, and these define your approach to life in general. Your extraordinary wisdom and the ability to understand the problems of others is apt to commence from an early age. This allows you to easily span the generation gap and assume an important role in life early on.

The number 6 Life Path actually produces few negative examples, but there are some pitfalls peculiar to the path. You may have a tendency to become overwhelmed by responsibilities and a slave to others, especially members of you own family or close friends. It's easy for you to fall into a pattern of being too critical of others; you also have a tendency to become to hard on yourself. The misuse of this Life Path produce tendencies for you to engage in exaggeration, over-expansiveness, and self-righteousness. Modesty and humility may not flow easily. Imposing one's views in an interfering or meddling way must be an issue of concern.

The natural burdens of this number are heavy, and on rare occasions, responsibility is abdicated by persons with this Life Path 6. This rejection of responsibility will make you feel very guilty and uneasy, and it will have very damaging effects upon your relationships with others.

7 (7, 16/7, 25/7, 34/7)

The Life Path 7 suggests that you entered this plane with a gift for investigation, analysis, and keen observation. You are a thinker of the first order. You evaluate situations very quickly, and with amazing accuracy. As a result, you are thorough and complete in your work, the perfectionist who expects everyone else to meet a high standard of performance, too.

A Life Path 7 person is a peaceful and affectionate soul. But you guard your connection to people carefully. It's easy for you to detect deception and recognize insincere people, and you avoid them. You aren't one to have a wide circle of friends, but once you accept someone as a friend, it's for life. It's as if you must get to know someone a lot better before you allow the wall surrounding you to be penetrated. Chances are you are a very charming and refined individual with great poise and a quick wit. Nonetheless, there is an exclusiveness about you. You probably aren't a very social person. Your reserve is often taken to be aloofness, but actually, it's not that at all. It is merely a cover up for your basic feeling of insecurity. There's no rush, It takes time for you to warm up to new friends. Clubs and organizations hold little interest for you; you are not a joiner.

You actually like being alone and away from the hustle and bustle of modern life. In many ways, you would have fit in better in much earlier times when the pace of life was less hectic. You need a good deal of quiet time to be with your own inner thoughts and dreams. You dislike crowds, noise, distractions, and confusion.

The overwhelming strength of the number 7 is reflected in the depth of thinking that is shown; you will garner knowledge from practically every source that you find. Intellectual, scientific, and studious, you don't accept a premise until you have dissected the subject and arrived at your own independent conclusion.

This is a very spiritual number and it often denotes a sort of spiritual wisdom that becomes apparent at a fairly early age. A built in inner guide providing a strong sense of intuition may set you up as being a law unto yourself. Whatever spiritual position you take, whether traditional or bizarre, you will cling to it with fervor. Once you have decided an issue, it is almost impossible to get you to revisit the question. Adaptability is not your style, and change for you is a rarity.

You rely heavily on your experiences and your intuition, rather than accepting advice from someone. Your hunches usually prove to be very accurate, and knowing this, you follow the directions they seem to guide.

In the most negative use of the 7 energies, you can become very pessimistic, lackadaisical, quarrelsome, and secretive. A Life Path 7 individual who is not living life fully and gaining through experiences, is a hard person to live with because of a serious lack of consideration for others. There is such a negative attitude. Indeed, operating on the negative side of the 7 can produce a very selfish and spoiled individual and living with one can be a challenge. This may be why some 7s actually prefer living alone. If you have any of the negative traits they are very difficult to get rid of because you tend to feel that the world really does owe you a living or that in some way you are not being fairly treated.

Fortunately, the negative 7 is not the typical 7, at least not without some mitigating positive traits. This number is one that seems to have some major shifts from highs to lows. Stability in feelings may be elusive for you.


9 (9, 18/9, 27/9, 36/9)

The Life Path 9 suggests that you entered this plane with an abundance of dramatic feelings coupled with a strong sense of compassion and generosity. The key to the nature of a Life Path number 9 person is found in their humanitarian attitude. Even the very average of those with life path 9 possess extremely compassionate tendencies.

Usually this number produces an individual that is very trustworthy and honorable, and one unlikely to harbor any sort of prejudice. Obviously, this is a rather tall order, but you are, in fact, a person that feels very deeply for individuals less fortunate than yourself, and if you are in a position to help, you certainly will. The 9, being the highest of the single digit numbers, holds an elevated position in terms of responsibilities to mankind.

Material gains are not overly important, although the quality of some life path 9 people is such that they are materially rewarded in very significant ways. In this, however, the 9 Life Path is not apt to get rich since they are very generous, sometimes to a fault, and usually have an easy come, easy go attitude about money. The rare 9 life path has a totally selfless attitude, giving up of material possessions for the common good.

The 9 Life Path indicates you have a commanding presence. You have the ability to make friends very easily, as people are attracted to your magnetic, open personality. The term "hail-fellow" may have been coined to describe a 9 Life Path, as you may indeed be one of those who is generally upbeat and heartily friendly and congenial. You meet people easily and are quickly befriended because of your openness and amiable demeanor. Your genial ways often put you in the lead in whatever field of endeavor you pursue.

Relationships can be difficult for you because it is hard to strike a balance that will work effectively. If your partner is one sharing your giving attitudes, the relationship will be happy and lasting. On the other hand, if you choose a partner whose focus is on material issues, problems will arise quickly.

You tend to be quite sensitive, as you see the world with much feeling. The number 9's very deep understanding of life is sometimes manifested in the artistic and literary fields. If drama and acting is not your forte, it will surely be an area of great interest and potential. Likewise, you may be able to express your deep emotional feelings through painting, writing, music, or other art forms.

The purpose of life for those with a 9 life path is often of a philosophical nature. Judges, spiritual leaders, healers and educators frequently have much 9 energy. The number is less inclined to the competitive business environment and may find this a struggle.

As do all the life path numbers, the 9 has its negative side. Because of the demanding nature of the truly positive 9, many tend to fail in this category. It is not uncommon for persons with the 9 life path to fight the realities and challenges of purpose imposed here because selflessness is not an easy trait. You may have difficulty believing that giving and a lack of personal ambition can be satisfying. It must be realized and accepted that little long-term satisfaction and happiness is to be gained by rejecting the natural humanitarian inclinations of this path."

Sweeeeet. So, you must have some awesome job and get along with people really well, right? hee. When's your next album?

So, I experienced TV irony during this evening, as I often do. It sucks. So i was singing, and reading (about lifepath numbers, and parker posey, and such. Singing Rhiannon. You know.) But then i was flipping channels, on mute (commercials and programs bug, hella) and noticed there was a show on PBS about Black Holes. With all these cool graphics, and scientists talking, all the good stuff. Which is something I love to watch and am totally interested in. I loves me some PBS science shows. But it was harder to pay attention to than what I was already doing. I would've had to switch my whole vibe from fun singing reading posting mode into quiet thoughtful concentrating scientific mode. Sometimes that is fine, and not too hard, and I usually love it, but when shows are about complex physics things, or everyone is talking really slow (see "3" lifepath number) that makes it more challenging.
I just had to hope that they will repeat it.

You kind of have to see the whole show to understand what is going on with these ones. The physics ones. It would be different if it was some nature show, I could catch up. I'd be like "Yeah, Africa, Lions, scarce water, then they pounce a gazelle. Then the hyenas try to steal it. Then the vultures come. Etc."
But for these math shows you kind of have to follow along, or at least have a longer attention span than a gnat.

Anyway, my point is, I just felt that all my interests and moods were converging at once, right there. But the cruel irony part is that I could not participate in all of them at once. Although I was singing all the band parts for Rhiannon. I don't think that makes up for it, though, because I always do that. So then I had to stop and wonder if it was just happenstance (which I don't really think much is) or luck, or karma. It seems to arbitrary to be a karma lesson, but to meaningful and synchronicitous to be luck.
I finally decided that this kind of thing happens to me a lot simply because I am interested in many different kinds of things, and those things could easily happen simultaneously, ie, lots of things happen simultaneously in general, and just by virtue of being a person who is interested in many types of things, many things I am interested in will be happening simultaneously. And I will stop to notice those things because I am interested. I passed up a couple news stations, but did not stop this time because it was not my interest in that moment. But graphics of black holes were. Thus I created my cognicent reality, but due to natural human egocetrism, attributed the syncronicity to the world at large, rather to just my chosen filter of the world.
Hmmm.
Not to say there isn't also synchronicity, I really believe there is, and I believe that humans are cognizant of the fourth dimension, which binds all time and space, largely (presently) peripherally so - we call it "intuition" or "sixth sense". Sometimes we call it deja vu, or past lives, or think we dreamed it.

But the presence of what is true surely lies between our perceptions, (which are dictated by our choices in addition to our sensory information of all that has ever been) and what truly exist, ie, everything that has ever existed in the universe, known or not.

Man, I can think about nothing ad nauseum. I should just major in philosophy and get it over with.
A whole discipline centered around what random people think about nothing and everything; about how the universe works, and every enity's place within that scheme! Sweet. So useless, yet so important.

I am an 8 as well.

I am a 9. Interesting read. Thanks Amber. Glad to see you.

Sweet. A nine? Two eights? Got some luminaries in the house.

But well, well, did you think it fit you? Well, did you? Well, they said, well, I didn't think it fit! But she said, well, but you don't knooooowww me...


I don't know everyone so well, so I was curious as to how people thought they fit.
I'm kinda getting a nine vibe from you, but like I says, I don't know everyone that well. And lots of the descriptions overlap a bit, as they will with these types of things.

Ya, I think it fit, but don't get me wrong... I do like my material posessions!

I consider the house I own to be significant. I don't know how I keep up with the mortgage monthly.... it must be my reward!

For now, I'm going to go reward myself with some french toast and bacon....

I'm a 6.

Let me start off by listing what I feel does not apply to me:

-maternal instincts
-beacon of justice and domesticity
-ultimate nurturer
-idealistic
-leadership
-conservative values
-humanitarian
-imposing one's views in an interfering or meddling way (I actually don't really do this in real life UNLESS I feel that a friend is behaving in a self-destructive way.)


Things that do apply:

-must feel useful to be happy (but I must also feel appreciated!!!)
-realistic about life (At least, I think so)
-don't function well in stressful situations that I can't control
-generous with personal and material resources
-tendency to become dominating and controlling
-tendency to become overwhelmed by responsibilities
-tendency to be too critical of others
-tendency to be hard on myself

The parts of this that did seem accurate could be said for just about anybody. I've never put any stock in astrology, numerology, or any other such, um, -ology, because I fail to see how someone's birthdate has any relation to their personality. I've known people who were born on the same day as me, and we couldn't have been any more different.

[cliffdweller]

I'm a "1," so ostensibly, I'm powerhungry.

This kind of stuff tickles me

[carrie721]

mmkay, i'm a 5.

things that do apply:
-progressive mindset
-need to be totally unrestrained
-need to find answers
-good communicator
-"amazing" wit ( )
-abhorrence of routine/everyday tasks - umm, **** yeah. did i tell you guys about how my boss recently said i might want to find another job? that i'm too laid back? mmhmm, that's too laid back FOR A DELI. and nevermind that i've been working there for a year and a half ... clearly i'm not valuable because i'm not manic. wtf.
-happy go lucky mindset - i'm definitely not a type a personality. which is probably why i'm 22 and dropped out of school.

ok, i'm tired of going point-by-point. but this describes me pretty well, including the negative aspects. i do feel directionless. every 3 months i change my mind about what i want to do with my life. i always keep with the same ideas - child psych, concert violinist, linguist, marine biologist, and nutritionist are what i go back and forth between. so it's not like today i want to be an astronaut and tomorrow i want to be president or something. they're all things i could achieve, but because i have trouble focusing on one thing, i don't get good enough at anything to make a living out of it. this is actually how i've ended up 22 and dropped out of school.

the only thing i don't think completely applies to me is the part about being a natural born salesman. but i also think that's a byproduct of depression/anxiety, which i don't consider a true part of my personality. but anyway. this was interesting.

I love it when you do this stuff. And if I'm adding correctly, then I'm a 9 like Liddy. I'm completely shocked by that.

[gldstwmn]

BTW Amber, just out of curiousity would you know Mick, John and Christne's numbers? I think Peter's might be interesting as well. Anyone out there have those dates of birth?

[ryan8472]

I'm a 7, and it pretty much describes me to a tee. Wow...
