The first calculation to make for a numerological chart is the birth date. The date needs to be written out in the mm/dd/yyyy format. For example if you were born on January 23rd of 1980 it would be 01/23/1980. If you add the numbers of the birth date together you will have the Life Path number. In the example given, it would be 1 + 2 + 3 + 1 + 9 + 8 + 0 or 24- which then reduces to 2 + 4 or 6. The Life Path number is a representation of who you were when you were born and how those ingrained traits will take you through life. Remember that the numbers need to be between 1 and 9 except for the master numbers. Do not reduce 11 or 22 as they are the master numbers and a valid result to have.



Those who were born with a Life Path of 3 are meant to have a life of creation and communication. They will reach achievement through utilizing their powers of expression. Optimistic, charming, and engaging they often will seek out careers in performance, writing, or public speaking. Their beautiful and harmonious nature will connect to other people and this relating will greatly enrich the performer's life.

They live life very much in the moment with little care put aside for the future. Their impulsiveness makes them rather bad with finances. But they are good with people- friendly, sociable, open and a great conversationalist. Uniquely, these people are as good at listening as they are talking. They are able to make those around them feel special and well regarded. Life energy is drawn from these interactions with other people. Because of this they are easily hurt and can disappear into a sad silence when they have been wounded. But they can bounce back and their own sensitivity makes them aware of what other people are feeling and how that should be dealt with.

There is one type of scar that is hard for these people to heal- those on the heart. They are loyal and dedicated lovers and if it doesn't go well, the wound it makes will be a lasting one. Unfortunately, their giving nature tends to draw in lovers that are destined to hurt them. It is very difficult for these people to find a balance in their love life- and elsewhere.

Their life is bound to be a series of great highs and devastating lows if they can't maintain a sense of balance. They can't handle being in a routine, being actively dominated or working closely with slow to move people. These people need to move fast and constantly. But if they go too fast, everything can become superficial and frivolous. Scattered energies can lead to them not accomplishing anything. It may be hard for them to find a place where they feel they can stand still. Negative aspects of a Life Path in the number 3 include impatience, intolerance and a blind optimism that keeps them from seeing the truth.
