We're eager, maybe even desperate, to concentrate today. Although the analytical Virgo Moon enables us to approach nearly any problem rationally, we're protective of our hearts on this last day of cerebral Mercury's visit to emotional Cancer. Our attention shifts from work-related activities to home and family issues. However, the Sun's irritating aspect to imaginative Neptune challenges us to realize our dreams without making too many compromises.

Although sharing feelings of jealousy can be problematic, we are still eager to express our emotions now that Jupiter, the Sun and the Moon are all in theatrical Leo.

Overcoming our tendency to withdraw from social situations may be difficult today with the self-protective Cancer Moon harmonizing with austere Saturn. Luna's conjunction with cerebral Mercury prompts us to think about our feelings without actually expressing them in real time. Meanwhile, there's no time to waste; we must deal with lingering relationship issues now as energetic Mars slips out of diplomatic Libra and enters uncompromising Scorpio.
We are going to switch gears a bit today, on a topic that we have touched on before. We have covered relationship compatibility by the life path number, and we have also covered some work matters by life path number. Today we are going to revisit the area of life path numbers again, from a different angle. A lot of people make the mistake of associating work with success, but this is just not the case. Your work is your work, your daily doings. Many times, if you do it right, you can meet your work needs with your success needs. But being successful is not about having the best job on the planet. Being successful is about living the life you have always dreamed. For some people, like many Capricorns and Libras for example, that is about money. But others like Cancer think that if everyone is well fed, warm, and snuggling close at night that is all they need to feel successful. Another way to tap into your success energy is by your life path number. So this is what we are going to talk about today. What is your success potential and how can you harness that energy? It’s all right here, your success potential by the life path number. Let’s get to it!
Calculate Your Life Path Number
We’ve done this before but we will cover it again just to refresh, and to support those that are just joining us. To calculate your life path number, you simply turn your birthdate into numbers, and then add them all up! And you keep adding them until you get a one digit number So easy, and you don’t even need to be a math whiz (thank goodness for me!). So let’s use today’s date as an example. Anyone born on this date exactly, and yes the year matters, has this life path number.
Using May 31, 2014 here is how to get your life path number:
1.) Break the date down into numbers: May 31, 2014 = 5/31/2014
2.) Add up all those numbers: 5/31/2014 = 5 + 3 + 1 + 2 + 0 + 1 + 4 = 16
3.) When you have your two digit number, you add those up as well because numerology always uses single digits, unless we are talking master numbers which we are not for today’s discussion.
So, using our final number 16, we get 1 + 6 = 7. That means anyone born on this date will have the life path number of 7.
Have you calculated yours? Now let’s see how we can turn those numbers into success for you. What is your life path number?
Life Path Number 1
As a life path 1 you are a born leader, and will do well in life if you harness your 1 energy properly. Material belongings are very important to you and you will spend life collecting them. You need to work on courage and energy, and you will get more of your success alone than with others. So go after it! You have an abundance of creative vision, but you do lack sometimes the courage to pursue it. Don’t worry about what other people around you are saying, go after those dreams. You are number 1! Now prove it to the world. Initiating new things will always be favored for you, but use your stamina to pursue them all.
Life Path Number 2
Your success potential dear Life Path 2 will depend on good old fashioned hard work. Old school methods are what you will need to succeed, and partnerships are favored. Do you have a brilliant idea? Share it with someone that has the networking skills or the investor bucks to make it a brilliant success. You need to stay grounded in order to succeed, your skills of diplomacy and negotiation will work very well for you. You will be most successful by just being true to what you want, and who you are. If you try to fool others that you are a big shot or a big name or even a big talent, they will see right through you. Hard work and a strong moral compass are desirable traits, you have them in abundance, so show them off and the right people will notice.
Life Path Number 3
The life path number 3 often has a certain charm about them, they have a way of getting through life with a wink and a smile. 5’s have an easy time with that as well, even more than the 3’s. This can make life very easy for the 3’s, but you can not depend on your winning persona to get what you want in life. You will probably not spend a lot of time in your life worrying about success, money is up and down for you. If you put some of your mojo and elbow grease behind your winning smile, success in epic proportions will come to you. Skills will be very important to you in establishing success, your winning smile may get you in the door, but have the skills to back up your pretty face and that’s where the payoff will come through. You may need some upgrading in education if you want to take your work to the next level. Fun is all good, but most people can’t make money off of their smile alone. Find the opportunities in life that let those skills of yours shine, and the rest will fall into place.
Life Path Number 4
Life Path 4 often doesn’t need to worry much about money. Like 2’s you are very old school and traditional, and you believe that hard work pays off. For you it usually does as well, and the destiny of life path 4 is often material success as a result. This probably does not surprise you to learn this, you’ve worked hard all your life. If you are accused of anything, it might be that you are a little boring. Is it possible you are spending too much time at work? What areas of your life need a little success boost? Try having more fun once in a while and life won’t seem like such a drudge mill. If you are still searching for that success energy, try going about it the old fashioned way. Apply for traditional work or upgrade traditional education and the opportunities will open themselves up to you.
Life Path Number 5
As the number that is the middle number of the life path numbers, 5 has a bit of an easy break. They can go any way the wind blows them, and to many this makes them seem irresponsible. The 5’s have a method to their madness though, if you just let them follow it through. If there is any number that seems to have it easy in life, it is usually the 5. They are often tall, gorgeous, charismatic, and the life of every party. They also seem naturally successful because their energy just opens up a number of doors to them. But 5’s are rarely wealthy, because they are too busy enjoying life to truly commit to their success. If that sounds too familiar dear 5, rein in your party energy and commit to one success goal each week. Hire yourself as your own client, and just commit to getting it done. You have a natural lucky streak, it will happen, you just may need to get your head out of the clouds for about…5 minutes.
Life Path Number 6
Oh dear life path 6, you are a harmonious one aren’t you? You love balance and peace, and having those around you are what you need to succeed. Overall you have the common sense that money is needed in order to survive, but you don’t spend your life storing up collections. You would rather store up your karmic acts and experience the due rewards that follow. This is a good course of action for you and one that will open up many reward streams. With hard work, and a solid playing by the rules which you just love, you will see constant success flowing into your life. If you have some karmic debts to pay, they will crop up earlier in life. The sooner you deal with them, the sooner you open up your paths to abundance and success.
Life Path Number 7
As a life path number 7, you are a known truth seeker. You are also a little bit obsessive and materialistic when it comes to finances. You are on a mission to do well, and it is this attitude that may bring you down. Let it happen, do not force the issue. Your fear of being poor is one that is going to attract just what you do not want in your life. A little bit of lightening up will go a long way for you dear 7. Huge financial risks or investments are not in your forte, you will do far better at the income streams that are slow and steady. Watch your spending and don’t live on credit, otherwise it will catch up to you. The unknown is what fears you, as the truth seeker, get those questions answered and your fear of not succeeding will diminish. What do you need to do to succeed? What opportunities can you avail yourself to? If you are clueless, start looking in the classifieds, read every one, even the ones you aren’t qualified for, and the jobs that make you feel “buzzy” inside, are the ones that are meant for you. If you aren’t qualified for them yet, find out how to do so. For you, the truth seeker, it is about just answering those questions. Get ‘er done 7!
Life Path Number 8
Many numerologists consider 8 to be the luckiest and most successful number. This number is shaped like the infinity symbol, and thus has destiny written all over it. Success is inevitable for 8’s, but this is material success. As a result, 8’s are often lacking in emotional success and emotional abundance, because they care too much about filling their wallet. You will always have tremendous potential when it comes to earning money, and you will never have a problem with that. But if you are struggling with money, or struggling with a lack of joy in your life, that is because your restlessness is getting the better of you. Step away from the impatience, and attend to your emotional needs with the same vigor that you attend to your financial ones, and you could well be the luckiest and most successful number of them all!
Life Path Number 9
The life path number 9 is the harmonious one, the Mother Teresa number. Because this number is so naturally compassionate and humanitarian, you often have no problem creating a good money flow. You will always choose a career that is solid, traditional, and will provide a steady income, and you aren’t really known for being a spender. And you will also probably choose work that involves helping others. If you are finding the material success is not meeting with your desires, you likely aren’t harnessing your karmic potential well. Practice more random acts of kindness, and get out into the world a little bit more to do so. By doing so, you send that message that love is really what makes the world go round. And being a 9, it will come right back to you. Whether that is unconditional love, or the rewards from good honest work. When your intentions are pure, the rewards will follow. Overall, your good karma attracts success, so keep it well balanced and you will never suffer emotionally or financially in life.
